"Tonight, the Cursed Mask will drink blood—The Messenger of the Cursed Mask"
When Tang Ze read out the contents of the letter, everyone present was shocked.
"Ms. Sufang, I think it's better to call the police about this matter." Kogoro Mouri, who was standing by, couldn't help but suggest.
"I think it's better to ignore such a bad prank."
Su Fang Hongzi, standing by, smiled nonchalantly, "Ever since I started working in charity work, I've seen so many threatening letters like this. They've been coming almost non-stop."
"But anyway, it's better to be safe than sorry."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "To be honest, when Ayako received the threatening letter, I had already contacted the juniors to come to the banquet together.
I greeted Officer Megure and asked him to leave work early. It's about time for him to come over.
I would like to apologize to Ms. Su Fang for taking the initiative to invite colleagues to the banquet without permission."
"No, no, Mr. Tang Ze, you are too polite."
Upon hearing this, Su Fang Hongzi waved her hands and smiled, "I'm not such an ungrateful person. I can still tell who has good intentions.
I should be grateful that you're concerned about my safety. I'm not sure where your companion is, so I'll ask the kitchen staff to delay him a bit."
"Let me make a phone call first to confirm."
Tang Ze took out his cell phone and called Uei Naoki. After hanging up, he smiled and said, "He said he'll be here soon, about ten minutes."
"Hona, you'll go and greet them later," Sufang Hongzi instructed the maid beside her, then smiled and said, "Since we won't be here long, how about we take a seat first? I'll ask the kitchen to bring some desserts, and we can all chat casually for now."
Everyone readily accepted Su Fang Hongzi's suggestion.
At the same time, although it was not stated explicitly, it was obvious that after Tang Ze said he would ask his colleagues to come over, everyone's expressions became noticeably relaxed.
Obviously, the presence of two criminals at this juncture made everyone feel at ease.
Not long after everyone took their seats, Naoki Kamii came to the restaurant led by the maid.
Now everyone was present, including the secretary who had been following behind the other party silently. There were now twelve guests in the restaurant.
Of course, excluding our own people and the reserve "victim" Sufang Hongzi, the only suspects left are the other five.
The dinner officially began, and the dishes were placed on the table by the twin maids.
"Oh! This beef tongue soup is absolutely delicious! Maori Kogoro praised: "What a great chef!"
"And this red wine is not a top-grade one that you can drink easily!" Matsudaira Mamoru also agreed with a smile.
"To be honest, I'm already very grateful to you all for agreeing so readily to be guests at this charity dinner I'm hosting."
Su Fang Hongzi smiled while holding the red wine and said, "Of course I have to take out the best to entertain you all."
"By the way, Ms. Su Fang, I wonder if I could take the liberty of asking you a question."
After the pleasantries, Katagiri Masanori, who was sitting on the left of Sofang Hongzi, looked at the other party and suddenly spoke.
"Whatever your questions are, feel free to ask." Su Fang Hongzi said with a smile.
"I'd like to know, Ms. Su Fang, what made you want to help those children who lost their families in car accidents and hold a charity banquet for them?"
Faced with this question, Su Fang Hongzi put down the wine glass in her hand, sighed and said: "In fact, as early as fifteen years ago, I started to engage in charity work.
But five years ago, the woman who had taken care of me for years ran away because she was too scared after hitting someone."
"Isn't that just a hit-and-run?" Kogoro Mouri, who was about to put the steak into his mouth, was stunned when he heard this.
"That's right, so from then on I couldn't turn a blind eye to traffic accidents."
Su Fang Hongzi said in a low voice: "I think everything I did was inevitably done with the intention of helping her atone for her sins..."
"Although there are often malicious slanders circulating outside, saying that our president is seeking fame and reputation and using them to criticize our president, the facts are absolutely not as the outside world says."
After mentioning this topic, the female secretary who introduced herself as Inaba Kazuyo before sitting down rarely spoke up to support Soyoko Akako. As to how much of her words were sincere and how much were just to flatter the boss, it was not clear.
"Then I wonder how the lady who is taking care of you is doing now?"
After hearing what Sufang Hongzi said, Xiaolan beside her couldn't help but ask about the ending of the lady who gave Sufang Hongzi this idea.
"She later committed suicide..."
Lanchuan Dongya drank the red wine in his hand and said in a heavy tone: "Actually, my father died when I was very young, and I was raised by my mother alone.
Later, my mother committed suicide after this incident, and I lived with relatives.
It was not easy to live under someone else's roof, and I suffered a lot during that time.
When Teacher Su Fang found out, she started taking care of me and helping me in every way. I can say that it was all thanks to her that I am who I am today.”
On the other side, Sufang Hongzi heard Mingxing's words. She stopped shaking her red wine glass and smiled softly, saying, "In fact, in addition to taking care of my daily life, Dongya's mother is also my best friend. Doing these things is what I should do."
"In fact, there are many people like me who have lost their families in car accidents in Hongyan Entertainment Promotion Company."
Aichuan Dongya smiled and said, "Everyone is very grateful to Teacher Su Fang for taking care of us."
"Yes, that's the truth. The teacher has actually been helping these orphans who lost their loved ones in the car accident."
Inaba Kazuyo adjusted his glasses and said, "Teachers pay for their education or provide them with jobs, allowing them to survive independently in society. These are all visible to the naked eye."
"This is truly touching!" Baseball couldn't help but shake hands after hearing the secretary's words, looking like a passionate man moved. "I will definitely give my all at next week's charity banquet!"
“Me too…”
The photographer nearby seemed to reflect on something after hearing what the two had said. He looked at the ring in his hand with some melancholy, "Actually, twenty years ago, I also lost my wife in a car accident..."
I'm sure my wife's spirit in heaven will be very pleased that I can attend Ms. Su Fang's charity gala this time."
These words also made Su Fang Hongzi gain the respect of everyone again.
Well, except Tang Ze.
