Chapter 084 Yoshinoya Birthday Banquet (I)
When Subaru Okiya and the rescue team arrived, Higashino Hiroshi had already enjoyed singing.
Singing to Hatori is fun, but it would be silly if anyone else heard it. Who would sing in such a situation?
The reason why Subaru Okiya was delayed for so long was that when he went back to prepare the rescue equipment, the police and the rescue team just arrived at the villa. They took a while to call everyone in Villa No. 5, and then found that Tian Chengyouxiong was also missing.
Although Higashino Xi revealed the murderer's name when she called the police, Koizumi Nanami refused to admit it. The police are still questioning her, but with Edogawa Conan and Amuro Toru around, there's no need to worry.
The rescue team carried Tian Chengyouxiong onto a stretcher and began to search for Koizumi Kon. Soon, they found him a few dozen meters away.
Koizumi Kon was not unconscious at first, but he was drowsy because of the hit on his head. After hearing Tian Chengyouxiong's scream, he also fainted soon after.
The rescue team lifted the two people up and sent them to the hospital overnight.
Higashino Hiroshi, aside from his scraped palms and bruises from the fall, had no other problems. Even after his hands were wrapped like Doraemon, he still had the energy to go next door and watch a case being solved, to help Nanami Koizumi.
He is the victim!
Some people pointed out that even if Nanami Koizumi argued her case, she couldn't escape. Her biggest surprise was that after pushing three people down, none of them died instantly! This hillside must have been so steep!
Hearing her words, everyone was speechless.
This person doesn't have any remorse at all.
However, Nanami Koizumi's friends were very puzzled and asked her why she did this.
Nanami Koizumi glanced at them coldly and said, "Only words that reflect experience can resonate with readers."
Higashino: ? There's an experiential school of writing? So you went and killed people? With all due respect, readers don't want to identify with a murderer. Who would read a book and become a villain?
Edogawa Conan looked indifferent. He had come across suspense novelists who had actually killed people to test the feasibility of their murder methods. Koizumi Nanami, to stimulate her inspiration, not only killed people but also took drugs, but ultimately, she didn't produce any good works.
So, taking drugs and killing people for the sake of creation are just excuses. She only has so much ability, and even if she is stimulated to death, it won't raise her limit.
It was already dawn when the police took Koizumi Nanami away. After a long night of tossing and turning, and missing the sunrise, everyone was almost exhausted, so they hurried to catch up on some sleep before checking out.
Afterwards, the minibus we had booked came to pick us up on time, and everyone got on and continued to sleep.
Driver: It seems the guests are having a great time.
After returning home, Dong Yexi's hands, wrapped into a ball, attracted the attention of his eldest brother again.
The eldest brother frowned and asked, "Why do you encounter danger every time you go out?"
Dong Yexi sniffed: "What can I do? I don't want to do it either."
The eldest brother was silent for a long time, then said, "It seems that I really have to take you to the temple to worship."
After rebandaging Higashino Higashi's wound, Dr. Hayama Ayana said, "I know a temple that's quite effective. It's a little far away, in Kyoto."
Dong Yexi asked curiously, "How do you know it works?"
Ayana Hayama smiled and said, "I went there to ask for a study talisman before, and I actually got into my target school."
Higashino Xi: ...This only shows that you have learned something, but it can’t be said to be effective, right?
"I just want some psychological comfort." said the eldest brother.
It just so happened that his eldest brother was able to go out, so Fujizuka Tian quickly made arrangements and the group flew directly to Kyoto.
The temple was very popular, with many visitors even on weekdays. Fujitsuka Tian used her money powers to not only get a "fast track" but also the opportunity to listen to the abbot's lecture.
The elder brother chatted with the host (bushi) on the side, while Higashino Hiroshi ate some snacks. The snacks at this temple are quite interesting, made in the shape of ginkgo leaves, which are both delicious and beautiful.
Seeing that his elder brother couldn't finish it for a while, he sneaked out to see other scenery in the temple.
As he walked, he saw a group of people writing wishes on plaques. He walked over and took a look. Where there used to be marriage plaques, there were now only wishes for wealth. Occasionally there were wishes related to marriage, or for a partner or a paper man.
It seems that everyone is a widower.
Dong Yexi is different, he has someone to ask for help!
So, he joined in the fun and bought a marriage card.
After he wrote the two names, he felt a little childish. It was like writing "XXX and XXX will be together forever" in your diary. A few years later, when you look back, you want to tear the page out.
And if I put this sign up, other people will see it. Japan is so small, and it would be really embarrassing if someone I know saw it.
After thinking about it, he put away the unwritten sign.
When he turned back, the conversation between the eldest brother and the host had finally ended.
Dong Yexi thought it would be best if his elder brother didn't interact with the master as much as possible. He already looked a bit detached, so he shouldn't suddenly have an epiphany and become a monk just because of talking to the master.
The eldest brother heard his mumbling and hit him hard on the forehead. "No, there are too many things I can't let go of."
Dong Yexi rubbed his forehead and said, "That's good. Otherwise, I would definitely cry at your door every day, accusing you of abandoning your family and brother."
The eldest brother pinched his fingers: My hands are itchy again.
Since the eldest brother has appeared in front of everyone, it means that he is going back to work in the group.
At this time, the head of the Yoshino Group, a partner of the Tono Group, celebrated his 80th birthday and sent an invitation to Tono Xu.
He didn't really like this kind of occasion, but after much consideration, he decided to go. There were a lot of rumors out there saying he was terminally ill, and even though he had the group announce he was fully recovered, many people still didn't believe it.
He needed to appear in public once so that everyone could see for themselves that he was healed.
Of course, he was not going alone, he also wanted to bring Dong Yexi with him.
Dong Yexi frowned when he knew his elder brother was going to take him to the birthday party. He didn't like this kind of occasion either. However, there was a high probability that something bad would happen at such a scene, and his elder brother's health had just recovered, so he couldn't be stimulated.
There was no other way. For the sake of his elder brother's safety, Dong Yexi could only go with a pinch of his nose.
However, he had two bodyguards disguised as secretaries follow them to ensure their safety.
Big Brother didn't object, but...
He glanced at the two bodyguards, their tight suits outlining the shape of their arm and chest muscles.
What kind of secretary has this physique?
Higashino Hi: King Kong Secretary?
Big Brother: ...Okay.
\\
Ever since the mission to get close to Dong Yexu failed, Jia Lianlu has been in anxiety, and from time to time she asks Di Sano when he will go on the next mission.
Disano was baffled. Wouldn't it be a good time to rest if there were no missions? He'd never seen anyone rushing to complete a mission.
Jialianlu has her own ideas.
Her current public name is Irna Kuno. She is a mixed-race singer. Because of her good looks and good singing voice, she gained a lot of fans shortly after her debut. Later, with the support of the organization, she became the hottest new star.
However, a big fire means a busy schedule! She has a lot of work every day, and her schedule is packed with work, leaving her with little time for sleep.
You know, before she was discovered and trained by Rum, her biggest goal in life was to be with a rich man and be his lover who only collected money and did not do anything else.
Now, she is exhausted every day and has lost sight of her life goals.
Even when Rum was training her, she wasn't this tired!
She really wanted to get a full ten hours of sleep now.
When she received the task of seducing Dong Yexu, she was really happy. As long as she succeeded, she would have an excuse to quit the circle and become a rich wife!
But unexpectedly, before she could even start to show her strength, the mission was aborted. She could only continue to be a singer.
After waiting for several months, she finally received the news that Dong Yexu had recovered. She couldn't wait to find Disano and start the mission again.
However, Di Sano frowned and said, "Don't act rashly without receiving any instructions this time."
Jialianlu: ...What's wrong with you?! You won't do your mission unless the organization assigns it? Can't you be more proactive?! You don't even consider the organization!
Since Di Sano didn't want to, she would go by herself! Once she completed the task, all the credit would be hers, leaving him dumbfounded!
Knowing that Higashino Xu would attend the birthday party of the old head of the Yoshino family, Jialianlu used the connections she had accumulated in the entertainment industry to obtain tickets to the banquet.
This time she learned her lesson and decided not to be a guest performer, as that would mean she would have no time to get close to the guests.
On the day of the banquet, she wore a designer couture gown and put on exquisite makeup, looking much more serious than when she was walking on the red carpet. She thought to herself: I am so beautiful tonight, I will definitely attract everyone's attention. I don't believe that Dong Yexu won't be moved!
After she arrived, she really attracted a lot of attention, and a group of people immediately surrounded her. These young people were all her fans, and they kept praising her beauty.
She enjoyed it very much. But despite her dignified smile, she was wondering in her heart: Where is Dongye Xuren? Hasn't she come yet?
Dong Yexu had arrived a long time ago. He brought his younger brother and was chatting with the old owner and a group of uncles in Yoshinoya's reception room.
These were not just any uncles, they were all the leaders of various groups, most of them had cooperated with the Dongye Group, and many of them had attended Dongye's banquets. When they saw Dongye Xu in good health, they all showed a relieved and loving smile.
Dong Yexi, who was sitting behind his eldest brother, kept smiling, but he touched the back of his hand under the cover of his hand. Goose bumps appeared on it.
Don't be fooled by the kind looks of these uncles. When he temporarily took over the group when his eldest brother was critically ill, they did a lot of spying on him.
They are all a bunch of old foxes.
As the group chatted, the topic turned to the child, and the old foxes actually praised him.
Well, since the eldest brother has no son, they can only praise him.
It just so happened that he changed into [Graceful Elegance] today, so he would never make mistakes in any occasion and would not embarrass his elder brother.
Afterwards, the grandson of the old head of the Yoshino family came up to inform the old man that the banquet was about to begin, and everyone moved downstairs.
Jia Lianlu, who had been dealing with fans, finally saw Dong Ye Xu when her patience was about to run out.
She found an excuse to shake off a few fans, walked into Dong Yexu's sight, and waited for him to come and talk to her.
But she didn't know that he didn't even give her a glance!
Jialianlu felt a little strange. She also noticed that no one around seemed to be looking at her. She held her breath: What's going on? I'm such a beautiful woman standing here, and no one sees me?! Why isn't anyone looking at me?
She looked around and finally found the reason.
Dong Yexu's younger brother Dong Yexi was extremely handsome. He had a nice smile on his face and spoke and behaved gracefully, which made people like him at first sight and couldn't help but get closer to him.
So that's how it is. There is already a bright moon in the field, who would notice the stars around it?
Even Jialianlu's eyes were confused for a moment, then she quickly came to her senses.
She warned herself in her heart: Her target is Dong Yexu! What's the point of contacting a student who is still in college?
If the mountain does not come to me, I will go to the mountain.
She prepared herself mentally, picked up a glass of red wine, and walked towards Dong Yexu.
Just as she was about to walk to Dong Yexu, she was suddenly pushed hard by someone and fell to the side uncontrollably.
She thought she was going to fall heavily to the ground, but unexpectedly, she fell into someone's arms, and all the red wine in the glass spilled onto his white suit.
Jialianlu was stunned, still dazed by the mission failure, when she heard a very gentle voice. "Are you okay?"
She looked up at the man who had caught him. His handsome face was only ten centimeters away from her. Her breath caught in her throat, and then she was captivated by his gentle eyes. She said unconsciously, "I'm fine."
"That's good." He said, and smiled again.
Jialianlu's heart began to beat wildly.
Brother...it's not impossible.
Dong Yexi, who was splashed with red wine, was screaming in his heart: OMG! My clothes! They are so expensive!
