Chapter 18461854 [Unpacking]
Just as Jiang Xia was looking at Canary and Canary was looking at Suzuki Sonoko warily, a person walked behind them.
The lobby manager saw two high school students gathered in front of the bird cage and praised their taste: "Do you like it? This pair of canaries is actually my pet."
"!" Suzuki Sonoko straightened up and nodded guiltily, "Of course I like it! We were just praising its feathers."
Jiang Xia nodded politely to help his classmate cover up the lie.
The lobby manager was happy. He walked to the cage and teased the bird through the cage: "I thought they would be lonely if they were locked up in the room alone, so I put the cage here. Who knew there would be a murder in the lobby... Alas, there are people coming and going now, I don't know if they are scared."
Suzuki Sonoko: “…” She didn’t know if the bird scared her, but she was frightened by the elusive manager.
…
Although the scene was a little chaotic, thanks to the unremitting efforts of both companies, the wedding dress show competition was finally held as scheduled.
"Welcome everyone to the Putuo-Rokujo Wedding Dress Design Competition." The host tried to forget the horrible sight of President Rokujo falling to the ground and stirred up the atmosphere. "Next, please enjoy the passionate performances of the models of the two major brands - these beautiful wedding dresses will definitely add a touch of color to the future lives of the newlyweds!"
After a brief speech, the fashion show began.
The lights in the venue dimmed, and models wearing wedding dresses of different styles walked back and forth along the catwalk.
"Look, look!" Suzuki Sonoko shook Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan who were standing next to her, "Masumi is out! She's so beautiful, she can even hold up such a long skirt."
Jiang Xia nodded, and suddenly caught a glimpse of someone jogging in the conference hall.
He turned around and saw the assistant who had driven to pick them up earlier running in. The assistant stopped next to Naoko Torimaru and whispered something to her anxiously.
I don’t know what bad news she brought, even Naoko Torimaru’s face changed, and the two of them hurriedly turned around and went backstage.
Jiang Xia was watching when he suddenly heard someone at his feet say, "Let's go take a look too."
When he lowered his head, he saw Conan staring intently at the direction where the two women left.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko heard the noise and asked: "What happened?"
Jiang Xia pointed to the backstage: "Something seems to have happened over there."
"Is there another case?" Suzuki Sonoko immediately became alert.
Just then, Masumi Takamori had finished her show, and the high school students quickly made a decision. They hurried backstage and went to the preparation room of the Putuo Company.
…
As soon as I arrived, I walked along the corridor and saw a group of people gathered at the door of the room from afar. Everyone looked shocked.
When Mao Lilan saw this situation, she suddenly thought to herself, "Could it be that someone really died again?"
Jiang Xia walked closer and looked into the room over the staff's shoulders, but found that there was no body in the room.
But it was true that something had gone wrong - hanging on the mannequin in the corner was a wedding dress that was intricately crafted and should have been extremely gorgeous. It looked like the finale prepared by Putuo Company.
But at this time it was covered with ink and cut into tatters by scissors, as if it had just been dragged out of a scrap recycling company. There was no way it could be put on stage again.
"Those shameless bastards from Rokujo Company..." A murderous aura wafted through the crowd, like a hundred families gathering together.
Jiang Xia touched his nose, did not leave, and quietly stayed at the door to join in the fun.
But the employees of Putuo Company cannot be so leisurely.
Naoko Torimaru walked around the wedding dress anxiously. Suddenly she thought of something and said to her staff, "I remember there were a lot of white tablecloths at the venue. They are of very good quality. Go find some for me. The more the better!"
The employees looked at each other in bewilderment: "Tablecloth? What do you need this for?"
Only the lobby manager trusted his Qingmei very much. Suddenly, she appeared from behind Jiang Xia and took the order: "Leave it to me!"
"..." Jiang Xia rubbed his ears which were shocked by the shock, turned his head and saw the versatile lobby manager running quickly back to the banquet hall.
When he was almost at the table, he slowed down his pace and bowed to the puzzled guests: "Excuse me, I'll add a little trick at the last minute. I hope you enjoy it."
As he spoke, he pinched a corner of the tablecloth, shook it and pulled it skillfully, and the tablecloth was instantly in his hand. The plates and vases on the table stood in place, without moving at all.
The guests were confused as to why the lobby manager suddenly started performing acrobatics, but when they saw it up close, they saw that his skills were indeed amazing, so they applauded out of respect.
The lobby manager held the newly clean tablecloth, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to the next table.
…
Not long after, he returned with a pile of tablecloths.
Naoko Torimaru took the tablecloth and worked around the model stand for a while, and a gorgeous and elegant pure white long dress appeared in front of everyone.
“…Is this the pile of tablecloths from earlier?”
Even though Suzuki Sonoko had seen many evening dresses, she was still amazed by the technique of transforming the tablecloth.
Naoko Torimaru had no time to chat, and kept adjusting the details: "The glossiness is not bright enough, it needs some crystals or glitter powder to adjust it."
The assistant was stunned: "But, there are no similar elements in this entry, so we didn't bring this kind of material."
"What?!" Naoko Torimaru wanted to get angry, but she held it back.
She looked around the venue anxiously, and was suddenly blinded by a bright light. Torimaru Naoko followed the light and her eyes fell on the bag carried by Suzuki Sonoko.
Perhaps to match the gorgeous fashion show tonight, the high school girl's outfit today is brighter, and the surface of her bag is also studded with sparkling small stones.
Naoko Torimaru's eyes lit up: "Your bag..."
"Ah?" Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what she meant.
She emptied the bag and handed it over. "You can open it. I saw some suitable tools in your tool box. If you use a little force, you should be able to rub it off. We must make sure Masumi wins this fashion show!"
She secretly helped her old classmate record a performance.
Seeing that they had a chance to participate in the competition, the employees of Putuo Company thanked her and happily started to unpack the packages.
Conan suddenly remembered something, looked at Suzuki Sonoko, and asked curiously: "Those things look brighter than crystal, could they be made of diamonds?"
Suzuki Sonoko took the plastic bag handed over by Jiang Xia and busily collected the things she had taken out of the bag: "No, a diamond bag is fine to bring to a party, but why would you carry it out normally? Are you waiting to be robbed on the street? Those are just some hyacinth stones."
Torimaru Naoko took the time out of her busy schedule to look at her and said, "Thank you very much. I will definitely compensate you with a similar bag later."
