In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 126 The Garden Where the Hairband Was Removed

Chapter 126 The Garden Where the Hairband Was Removed

Initially, producer Kamei didn't want to pay attention to the joint action of the filming team, but in the end, he took a step back under the terrifying gaze of Hidehiro Matsui, who seemed ready to rush over and stab him at any moment.

Good heavens, can someone who usually has squinty eyes suddenly open their eyes and look this terrifying?

Just one glance was enough to make you feel that if this usually honest and unassuming man wanted to send him to his death, the person next to him would be no less capable!

The two parties reached an agreement that if the Gomera movie achieves higher box office returns than the similarly budgeted film that producer Kamehira was very optimistic about, the Gomera filming plan will be retained.

This would result in almost no loss for Kamei; at most, he would just lose face.

The matter could be considered a near-perfect resolution. After seeing off the three genuine children, Akutagawa hopped into Professor Agasa's yellow Volkswagen Beetle and embarked on his journey home.

Inside Professor Agasa's car, everyone knew each other's secrets, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than on the set of Gomera.

Despite their loud conspiracies, they were actually making sure no one else could hear them.

Ai Haibara is asking Hiko Akutagawa about the medicinal bath, because although she has accepted the existence of supernatural abilities, it does not mean that she should abandon her past experiences and knowledge.

She is prepared to reconstruct a system in these areas that she can understand.

According to her understanding, while medicinal baths are useful, their main functions are to promote circulation, detoxify, relieve inflammation and pain in some chronic diseases, or improve immune function and sub-health conditions.

It's impossible for someone to become so much stronger after just a few tries, like she is now, and she can even try flipping the wok while cooking.

And those strange secret medicines—when Conan brought them to her, she almost thought that this Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era was going to use the opportunity of shrinking to kill someone and settle his score.

Ai Haibara neither asked for the prescription nor tried to analyze the residue.

Although these secret medicines are very valuable, they are insignificant compared to the protection and help given by the man who was able to provide them.

Especially for her and Kudo, there was a mountain hanging over their heads called the Black Organization.

Time flew by, and Akutagawa Hiko stood in front of the mirror, somewhat uncomfortably straightening his dress and adjusting the slightly crooked brooch.

After all, it's a formal invitation to a banquet, so we have to take it seriously.

As Amuro Tooru drove, he recalled information about this Miss Yotsubi Reika and asked Akutagawa Hiko how he met this Yotsubi family heiress.

"Oh, we first met at Sonoko's family's 60th anniversary celebration. After that, I helped Ms. Shimin find her beloved dog."

I think his name is Babur.

Akutagawa Hiko had some recollection of that dog.

The agency has a large daily flow of cats and dogs. Dogs that make an impression must have something special about them, either they are incredibly smart and obedient.

It's either something like an evil fleece or a bad cat that likes to escape from prison.

This dog, named Babur, doesn't belong to the evil fleece breeds, but like its owner, it has an arrogant and domineering personality.

As expected, Akutagawa Hiko saw the Mori family at the banquet.

Surprisingly, Sonoko Suzuki dressed up in her finest attire.

Not only did she remove the headband that sealed her good looks, but she also wore light makeup, which was unusual for her. Her head was adorned with a luxurious but not overpowering headband, and she wore a custom-made, expensive, gorgeous long dress.

Even the dark star on Sonoko Suzuki's neck, which had become even more renowned after being forcibly taken by Kid, was boldly proclaiming its existence, making Sonoko Suzuki's skin appear even whiter.

Although he knew that Sonoko Suzuki's looks were top-tier, the stark contrast between her carefully styled appearance and her usual demeanor still caused a flicker of amazement in Akutagawa Hiko's eyes.

Akutagawa Hiko glanced at Shinomiya Reika, whose face was unusually pale but who seemed hesitant to retaliate, and found it rather amusing.

Sonoko Suzuki, the guest, was the center of attention, while the birthday party's protagonist, Reika Shinomiya, was surrounded only by a few sycophants eyeing her future position as president of the Shinomiya Group, a truly lamentable situation.

Even Yoshii Reika's father didn't notice anything amiss.

The moment Suzuki Sonoko saw Akutagawa Hiko, her so-called elegance and composure crumbled instantly. She pulled Ran, who was talking to her, aside, rushed to Akutagawa Hiko, and spun around in place.

"How is it? How is it? I look pretty good in this outfit, right?"

Yes, the familiar Sonoko Suzuki is back.

Ignoring the strange and varied gazes he received, Akutagawa Hiko nodded earnestly: "Quite beautiful."

I don't know if they're complimenting the person or the clothes.

Sonoko Suzuki looked extremely happy; if it weren't for the fact that her outfit restricted her from making large movements, she would undoubtedly have jumped up and cheered right now.

Conan stared at Sonoko Suzuki, lost in thought, before his face slowly turned red.

But that doesn't mean he fell in love with someone else; his loyalty to Xiaolan is as clear as day.

After the initial amazement at seeing Sonoko Suzuki, Conan couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if Ran wore this dress.

When her invited guests were pulled aside and talked to by outsiders, Shinohara Rika gritted her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

No matter how arrogant and domineering she is, she can only act towards those who are less powerful than her and her father.

However, while she couldn't handle Sonoko Suzuki, Reika Yotsui felt that dealing with a junior detective would be a piece of cake; all she had to do was give the order...

The detective agency that housed Akutagawa Hiko went out of business.

Ignoring the venomous look in his eyes, Akutagawa joked, "You're all dressed up so beautifully now, what are you going to do on your birthday?"

Sonoko Suzuki waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Anyway, my dad doesn't need my sister's and my birthday parties as an excuse to discuss business or anything. We just treat our friends to a meal."

Before the banquet began, Yotsubi Reika's father, who is also the president of the Yotsubi Group, introduced several guests to everyone.

Among them were Hiko Akutagawa and Sonoko Suzuki, which made Hiko Akutagawa frown slightly.

Sonoko Suzuki was also a little uncomfortable. She muttered to a few familiar people, "This is also why I don't like attending banquets outside. There are always people who use me to rub my dad's name on them, making it seem like my dad thinks highly of them."

Amuro Tooru glanced at Suzuki Sonoko with surprise, and secretly decided to go back and fill in the information he had obtained from these close encounters.

Akutagawa Hiko also noticed the problem, but since Yotsui Reika was about to die, his initial discomfort vanished instantly.
