Chapter 1066: A Banquet Full of Huskies [Bonus Chapter for Lord Meng, the Independent Artist]
Inspector Megure turned his Head and stared at Hattori Heiji, "Then, Hattori Junior..."
Surely you can use your Reasoning for this one, right?
Please begin your Performance, he was ready.
Once Seeing Inspector Megure was no longer staring at her, Kazuha Toyama breathed a sigh of Relaxation and nodded repeatedly, "That's right, Heiji can Solve it too."
Hattori Heiji Looked at Kazuha Toyama and took a deep breath.
Calmness, first use Reasoning...
Five minutes later, the four Employees were brought to the Room at the Crime Scene.
Twenty-five minutes later, Hattori Heiji's Reasoning ended, the Case was Solved, and the Police took Jun Hasami into the Police Car.
After thanking Mori Kogoro and A Group of People, Inspector Megure also got into the Police Car and left.
Watching the Police Car Watch Leave, Kazuha Toyama still felt A Bit of Sigh, "I really Unexpectedly... Mr. Hozami killed the President and Framed the Vice President Because the President and Vice President Manufactured Toys that were not Safe."
"But if he does that, the Children won't be Happy either," Mouri Ran sighed.
"Let's talk about that later," Hattori Heiji said with a Black Face, "You won, so let's go see the Takarazuka Performance."
Chi Feichei Look Towards Kazuha Toyama.
He had been Staying Home in the Corridor Outside to get some air, and Just Now followed the Others Go Downstairs. According to the Plan, shouldn't Kazuha Toyama have let Hattori Heiji and Conan win? What was going on?
"I accidentally Said the Question you asked me to ask Inspector Megure," Kazuha Toyama explained, fiddling with her Fingers, "Also... I Said that the Dying Message was Iwatomi and the True Culprit was Mr. Hozami..."
"He's such a Proud Person..." Chi Feichei repeated Kazuha Toyama's Words from Before, Looking Towards Kazuha Toyama Thoughtful, "So, destroying his Pride Oneself gives you more Enjoyment?"
Kazuha Toyama's Face turned red, "I'm not, I didn't..."
(╥ω╥`)
She really didn't have such a Deviant Idea... But thinking about it that way, she Actually felt A Bit of Thrill?
"Just a Joke." Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight.
Mouri Ran and Kazuha Toyama Looked at Chi Feichei's Calmness Indifferent Face and choked.
Then please Smile...
"Alright, Heiji," Kazuha Toyama saw that Hattori Heiji still had a Black Face and quickly chased after him, "We didn't win, you won, Because Before, Ran, Brother Hichiji and I Discussed it, and we forfeited!"
"What?" Hattori Heiji looked Awkward, "Are you looking down on me?"
"Hey, hey, I Specially Discussed forfeiting with Brother Hichiji Because I was worried you'd be disappointed!"
"I don't want you Intentionally letting me win!"
"Hmph, Okay, then we won, and this Time we'll go see Koshien!"
"Go if you want, at most it's Boring... Ko- Koshien?"
"I Suddenly want to go see Koshien, is that not allowed?"
The Argument ended at the Street Corner.
Hattori Heiji Looked at Kazuha Toyama, who was glaring at him, and Suddenly had nothing to Say, muttering softly, "Got it."
Saying Thank You was impossible, it would never happen in this life.
Chi Feichei stopped at the Street Corner and Look Towards A Group of People, "Then I'll Go Back first."
"Also Correct, Brother Hichiji is going back that way, right?" Mouri Ran Looked at the Road on the Other Side and Smiled, "Then be Careful on the Road!"
Chi Feichei Nodded, Turn Around and walked towards the Street Corner on the Other Side.
"Brother Hichiji, aren't you coming to the Detective Agency with us?" Hattori Heiji saw Chi Feichei Leave Immediately and quickly shouted, "Then I'll Invite you to Osaka next Time, next Time we compete on my Territory, I won't lose again!"
Conan Yawned, he had Already repeated the phrase 'won't lose next Time' several Times in his Heart.
...
That Night, Chi Feichei entered that Strange Dream Again.
Another White Box appeared in the Dream, this Time the Box contained Fei Li, and some Marine Life like Octopus, Squid, and Sea Turtle.
The Next Day, August 25th, Summer.
Mori Kogoro led the team and followed Hattori Heiji to Hyogo Prefecture.
Chi Feichei didn't go to see them off. He Stayed Home all morning looking at Data, sending Email, and making Phone Call. At six o'clock in the Afternoon, he left Feichi Home to Rest and drove Alone to the Hotel where the Cocktail Party was being held.
THK Company issued two Invitation Card this Time. One was for this Internal Gathering, and the Other was for a Large-scale Banquet, scheduled for two Months later.
The Guests included Figures from Business, Political Circle, and Police Force. Even if his Parents and Sonoko's Parents didn't attend, they would send Elders with Status from the Group and Financial Group to attend and Help support the event.
That was the big Banquet to showcase Influence and Connections to the Outside world. Because most of the Guests had special Identity, the Invitation Letter had to be sent out two Months In Advance so that the Guests had Time to Plan their Itinerary.
This Time was an Internal Gathering. Although Odagiri Toshiya didn't Conceal it from the Media, he didn't make a big show of it either.
After Chi Feichei arrived, he went Directly Go Upstairs from the Parking Lot, avoiding the Reporter staking out the Front Door, and successfully entered the Venue.
Also Due To it being an Internal Gathering, the Group of Girl from THK Company completely failed to Suppress the primal power in their Inner Self, turning a perfectly good Cocktail Party into a large-scale Amusement Park Crime Scene.
Here, Suzuki Sonoko Directly moved the Drum Set into the Lobby, and A Group of People gathered around, banging away.
There, Odagiri Toshiya was being chased around by A Group of Girl, making the President of Yoko Okino's original Company follow along, completely at a loss.
Further inside, A Group of Girl were following Chizuru, swinging Fans around.
Even further inside, Morizono Kikuto was Chatting with A Group of People, Smilingly.
After Chi Feichei entered the Entrance, he Looked at this Wild Run Situation Once Seeing, and walked towards the Table furthest inside with an Indifferent Face, arriving Next to Morizono Kikuto.
"Oh? Hassashi, you're here," Morizono Kikuto Smiled and Turn Head, "Have you had After Meal?"
"After Meal."
Chi Feichei vaguely felt several Evil Gaze secretly Looking Towards him from the Vicinity. He took a glass of White Wine and Turn Around to Look.
The Crowd who were Just Now Whispering in low Voice instantly Recovered to their original state.
The 'Old Employee' of THK Company poisoned the Employees of an old, proper Company. No Matter if they were familiar or not, as long as they were pleasing to the Eye, they would be pulled in to play together. After a few Words, No Matter if they were Director, Producer, Stage, Artist, Singer, they all went Wild Run.
In the Corridor Outside Main Gate, Yoko Okino, wearing an Orange short Formal Dress, was Chatting with Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Next to her, walking towards the Lobby accompanied by her Assistant and Manager.
"Is it okay for me to Come Over?" Rena Mizunashi (Kir) looked conflicted, Just Like a normal Girl who was shy, "Moreover, Work Just Now ended, and I didn't even have Time to change Clothes."
"It's okay, this Time is Just a Gathering for the Company's Internal Employees and some good Friends. The several Producer from Nichimuri TV Station didn't prepare much either, they just came over after finishing Work," Yoko Okino hooked Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s Arm and Smiled, leaning close to Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s ear, "Actually, Because it was too late after getting off Work, and going back to eat was too Troublesome, and this Place is so close to the Studio, everyone Decided to Come Over By the Way for Dinner..."
"Other Households' Company... No, it's your Company Now," Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Smiled helplessly and teased, "Your Company's Employee Gathering, but the People from the TV Station are treating this Place as a Free Meal Spot?"
Actually, she Oneself wanted to Come Over and Check.
THK Company rose very quickly, and there was also strong Financial Group support Behind it. Since Yoko Okino called her, she Might As Well Come Over and show her Face, maybe it could be useful in the future.
She, a Professional Agent, Undercover in a Danger Organization, needed to 'See in all directions and listen to all sides', Understand all the Information she could Understand, and make Preparation for a successful Undercover.
"You are a Reporter from the TV Station and haven't had Contact with the Company's People, But I've been to the Company several Times Because of Cooperation, and the Atmosphere at THK Company is very Relaxation!" Yoko Okino Said, sounding A Bit reluctant, "Moreover, you are about to Leave 'Good Morning Seven O'Clock', and our Work Time will be completely Dislocation in the future. If there's an Opportunity, I want to spend more Time with you..."
"It's Also Correct that I'm transferred to be the Host of the Sunday Night News Program," Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Smiled and Appeased, "I'm more Interested in this aspect of broadcasting. With this transfer, my Rest Time is also Abundant, and I can have Time to do what I want to do."
"That's Good, Actually, there are many People who like you," Yoko Okino said with Expectation, "Every Time the TV Station receives many Letter from your Fan. After a while, you Should be able to become the Chief Anchor!"
"You receive three Times as many Letter as I do," Rena Mizunashi (Kir) paused, "Moreover, I want to go out and Interview more..."
"That's really Good, you Seemingly don't like being constrained," Yoko Okino Smiled sweetly, "Then I wish you Success in everything you wish for!"
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) also Smiled and Responded, "Thank You."
She wouldn't dare Say she didn't like being constrained. The Fact was, there were too many constraints, she even had to Report to the Organization about coming to a Banquet...
After All, Odagiri Toshiya had a Relationship with the Police.
Yoko Okino saw the Entrance and didn't Say anything more. She did her Expression Management, showing the reserved Smile appropriate for attending a Banquet, and pushed open the Door.
"Bang! Bang bang bang da da!..."
"Stop! If you chase me again, I'll Report to Police!"
"Refuel, President Odagiri!"
"Hahaha..."
"Request, be Serious! Hahaha..."
Amidst various demonic Laughter, inside the Door there were People playing the Drum Set, Wild Run, Drinking Alcohol and Chatting, dancing with their Hand and Foot, swinging Fans and Throwing Handkerchief...
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) even Saw Reiko Akiba, who was dignified and Serious on Television Programs, talking with the Person Next to her and Smilingly Curved at the Waist.
Yoko Okino was stunned for A Bit, silently withdrew her Hand, let the Door close, and then pushed open the Door Again. Inside was Still filled with Happy Laughter and cheerful Voices, everyone was as Happy as Huskies.
"Yoko, Why did you close the Door Just Now? Over here!" Next to the Door, Kuraki Mai Smiled and waved, "We were Just waiting for you!"
Yoko Okino pulled Rena Mizunashi (Kir) and walked over Secretive, like a thief.
Rena Mizunashi (Kir): "..."
She felt Just Like she had arrived in a Parallel Space.
The People she knew and had seen were A Bit Different from her Impression, and...
The Style was too Strange, completely inconsistent with the Cocktail Party in her Impression.
Also, Why was Yoko Okino entering Secretive? Was there some kind of rule about this?
Confused.
"Yoko, Why are you being so Careful?" Kuraki Mai asked Curiously, "Did someone tell you Already?"
Yoko Okino Smiledly Curved her Eyes in one second, Nodded, and pulled out a Rope from under her Formal Dress Belt, "I Already have the Rope ready."
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) Looked at Yoko Okino's Formal Dress Belt. Hiding a Rope there was indeed a Good Place, she could learn from it.
"Good," Kuraki Mai Smiled and clenched her Fist, "Tonight, we must not only Grab the President, but also the Other three Shareholder Advisor!"
"Correct, Grab them all!"
"Reporting to Police is Useless..."
"Hehehe..."
The Group of Girl Next to them Smiled Evilly.
Rena Mizunashi (Kir): "..."

"Hey, hey, I Specially Discussed forfeiting with Brother Hichiji Because I was worried you'd be disappointed!"
"I don't want you Intentionally letting me win!"
