Chapter 488 Guess who was not invited to the party?
Regardless of what the Xiangyuan family had for dinner today, Akai Shuichi had no intention of exploring other people’s eating habits. It was meaningless to him.

After ending the conflict that was bound to occur every time he met Furuya Rei, Shuichi Akai left with his small bag. He was a little annoyed by the guy’s chattering.

Although it is not known where Xiang Yuanguang got the specific situation at that time, what he said was indeed the truth, but Fūya Ling was completely unwilling to believe it.

Tick, tick, tick.

Shuichi Akai kept his unchanged outfit for thousands of years, but he changed his long hair into short hair. Now the prosecutor named Dante submitted an application to the FBI on his behalf, asking him to continue his original mission of tracking down Vermouth.

Therefore, unless he intends to leave the FBI now, he will have to go to the Republic of Narikin within a period of time to continue his investigation into Vermouth – of course he will go there, and soon.

However, his purpose of going to the Narikin Republic was not just to complete the task assigned by the FBI.

Shuichi Akai’s feelings towards Akemi Miyano have always been complicated. They were just boyfriend and girlfriend in name only at the beginning, but it ended up like this, plus the text message she left before she disappeared…

He had to admit that the other party had indeed left an indelible mark in his heart. Although he didn’t know whether the photo was real or fake, he decided to go to the Narikin Republic in person to take a look and confirm the situation for himself.

Originally, Shuichi Akai planned to find out the exact whereabouts of Shiho Miyano before leaving Tokyo. After all, Shiho Miyano’s body was not found in the pharmaceutical company building.

As long as death is not confirmed, there is still a possibility of survival. Although he is not a detective, he once knew a novelist who was not a detective but was better than a detective. The novelist once told him————

[A detective must always believe in the existence of life until he is sure of death].

“…I didn’t expect that she actually survived. That brown-haired girl must be Miyano Shiho, right? If she was protected by that guy, maybe I wouldn’t need to take care of her.”

After all, Xiang Yuanguang’s understanding of the Black Organization can be said to be far better than that of undercover agents like him and Furuya Rei who have infiltrated the organization. The possibility of Miyano Shiho being harmed by the Black Organization while being with him is extremely low.

However, Shuichi Akai thought it necessary to remind Genmitsu Mukai about Miyano Shiho before leaving Tokyo, so as to prevent the other party from misjudging the degree of danger that Miyano Shiho would bring.

In addition, he had some things that needed to be done as soon as possible, including meeting some people he should meet after lurking in the Black Organization.

On the other side, Rei Furuya had no idea what Akai Shuichi was going to do next, although he felt quite unhappy about meeting Akai Shuichi by chance in the hotel.

But what’s past is past, and he still has things to do next, so he can’t invest too much emotion in an accidental event.

(If the girl’s identity is really the shrunken Sulli, then she must not have official identity information… In this case, can the public security department directly draw a conclusion by investigating this aspect?)
Fūya Rei was walking and thinking at the same time, but then he changed his mind and realized that he probably didn’t have the authority to let the public security intervene in this matter unless he could prove that this incident was related to the Black Organization.

But the problem is that if this is used as a reason to investigate the identity information of the little girl next to Xiang Yuanguang, then the police will not be able to pass the review of the reason, because no one will believe in such things as rejuvenation.

What’s more, the other party is related to Xiang Yuanguang. Although Fōtani Ling doesn’t know what Xiang Yuanguang’s identity is that can make the investigator trust him so much, it is definitely not within the scope of investigation by the public security police with his authority.

If he submits an application for investigation on the grounds that there is a member of the Black Organization who has regained his youth around Xiang Yuanguang, the investigators may mistake him for a double agent and arrest him on the spot…

(It seems that I still need to investigate and contact them in person. Let me think about what school Mr. Xiang Yuan is most likely to send the child to. Hmm, should I start with Detective Maori? He has a good relationship with Mr. Xiang Yuan.)
(If we consider the Maori Agency where Maori Detective works, there happens to be a child of similar age who is in elementary school in his agency. That child attends Teitan Elementary School…)
(So, I should find out if there is any convenient part-time job near Teitan Elementary School, so that I can disguise myself and approach the little girl without being discovered?)
The Working Emperor was thinking about where to work next, and a black luxury car passed by not far away. Just by looking up at the license plate of the car, Fōtani Rei had a rough idea in his mind.

This is Guiyue Ying’s car. Although Guiyue Liuyun was sent to prison and most of his properties were confiscated, a prosecutor of this level could not have no backup plan or preparation, so a certain amount of assets was left to his daughter.

So, at this point in time, where would Gui Yueying go after leaving Xiangyuan Universal Office? The Procuratorate? Her home? Or somewhere else?

Just as Furuya Rei was thinking for a moment, his phone vibrated slightly. He subconsciously took out his phone and took a look at the lit screen. This time it was a new letter, and the sender was none other than Kizuki Hotaru. “…Family dinner? Most of the prosecutors and the presiding judge are here?”

Furiya Rei’s gaze lingered on the content of the text message. It seemed that the girl was worried that he, who wanted to be a temporary prosecutor, would be isolated because he did not receive the notice, so she specifically reminded him to participate in the dinner.

The working emperor put his phone back into his pocket and sighed.

“Well, it looks like I have to change my originally planned investigation schedule.”

—————June 2, 6:30 p.m.——————

—————Yukaka Town, Yukaka Hotel——————

Almost all the prosecutors from the Criminal Division who had a good relationship with the presiding judge came to the banquet.

This even included Reiko Kujo, Prosecutor Sugiura and Kuma Sukawa.

After being called by a certain name by Xiang Yuanguang for a long time, Furuya Ling simply appeared here with this name.

The temporary prosecutor named Toru Amuro glanced at the people at the table, and to be honest, he was a little surprised.

So he curiously asked the prosecutor Kuma who was standing next to him.

“Kuma-senpai, I remember there is a temporary prosecutor named Gold in the Criminal Division Prosecutor’s Office here. Isn’t he here? I thought such an outstanding prosecutor would definitely attend the banquet.”

Kuma Sukawa, who seemed to have no sense of existence sitting here, raised his head with a strange look on his face. After a short silence, he spoke calmly.

“Maybe Prosecutor Gold didn’t receive the invitation. It’s okay. He won’t care. He’s a very generous person.”

—————June 2, 6:30 p.m.——————

—————Yika Town, Xiangyuan Universal Office——————

Xiang Yuanguang picked up the last bowl of soup and placed it on the dining table with a somewhat smug expression on his face.

Apart from anything else, he is quite confident in his cooking skills. His father is the head chef of a restaurant. Although he later went to study art and did not inherit the skills, he still knows a little bit from what he has seen and heard from his father.

After coming to the Conan world, he had no appetite for Japanese food, so he simply learned how to cook from his father’s cooking method. If he were in Chinatown, he could be a chef now!

At the dining table, Asai Narimi was surprised at Mukai Genmitsu’s cooking skills, because Chinese cuisine is too difficult to learn for ordinary people. Although it has a good reputation, not many people can cook it themselves.

However, just as Xiang Yuanguang was about to wash his hands and eat, he suddenly sneezed, and then scratched the back of his head in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

It was as if a voice was saying——————【Hey, our prosecutors are holding a party, even the newcomer Toru Amuro is here, guess who is not invited to the party?】
