Conan: Another Famous Detective

Five p.m.

Kumiko drove Yu Gongming and Mengyu to the charity dinner venue.

Several staff members from Jiumei's subsidiary were already waiting at the door.

After submitting the invitation letter and verifying their identities, everyone entered the venue.

The venue is a very spacious banquet hall, with huge crystal chandeliers shining golden light, making the already luxuriously decorated venue look even more gorgeous.

There were already a lot of people in the venue at this time. Men and women in formal attire and elegant manners gathered together in twos and threes, chatting in low voices.

Kumiko glanced around, frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Are those guys here too?"

"What's wrong?" Yu Gongming heard Kumiko's murmur and asked.

"Oh! I just saw the person who designed Toyokawa..." Kumiko replied, looking in a certain direction.

Yu Gongming followed her gaze and saw a team with a similar number of people. Some of them still had briefcases in their hands, which seemed incompatible with the atmosphere of the entire banquet.

Yu Gongming was not surprised by this, because there were also such people in their team.

At this time, the mobile phone in Yu Gongming's pocket vibrated slightly.

He took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Conan.

He said hello, came to the side and answered the phone: "Hello! What's wrong?"

"We successfully found the evidence. Toyokawa has also been arrested and is being interrogated at the Metropolitan Police Department." Conan replied.

"Oh?" Yu Gongming raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at the group of people in Toyokawa Company and said, "When was Toyokawa captured?"

"An hour ago, right? What happened?" Conan was confused.

"We have arrived at the dinner venue and saw people from Toyokawa Company in the venue." Akira Hanomiya replied.

"Huh? If the president is arrested, can their business continue?" Conan asked in surprise.

"Who knows? Maybe they don't know that Toyokawa was arrested yet?" Akira Hanamiya was also a little confused.

"Forget it, it's not our turn to worry about this kind of thing." Conan said indifferently, skipping the topic and asked: "Where are you over there? Did you find anything?"

"Not yet." Yu Gongming replied: "The banquet has not officially started yet, and there is nothing noteworthy about it yet."

"Well, anyway, be careful and contact me if necessary." Conan said.

"I know, hang up then." Yu Gongming said and hung up the phone.

Returning to everyone, Yu Gongming informed Kumiko and Mengyu about the news of Toyokawa's arrest.

Kumiko suddenly showed a look of surprise: "That's great! This way I feel completely relieved!"

"Yes, but just in case, please keep Miss Kumiko away from us as much as possible, and please let me know if you want to go anywhere." Akira Hanamiya reminded.

"I understand. Detective Hanomiya's professionalism is amazing!" Kumiko smiled.

"Thank you." Yu Gongming smiled faintly, his expression calm.

Afterwards, Akira and Hamiya followed Kumiko and chatted for a while with several celebrities that Kumiko was familiar with in the banquet hall. Unknowingly, it was already time for the banquet to officially start.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" the host's voice sounded from the podium.

Everyone's eyes were turned to the rostrum.

The host first made some ceremonial greetings, and finally said: "Now, I would like to invite Mr. Karasuma Tsuneichi, the initiator of the charity dinner and the initiator of the charity donation project, the president of the Karasuma Foundation, to give a speech!"

The guests naturally applauded in a dignified manner.

Amidst the applause, a middle-aged man slowly came to the center of the podium and took the microphone from the host.

When the applause stopped, he showed an impeccable smile and said: "Thank you all for taking the time from your busy schedule to come to tonight's charity dinner. Your kindness and generosity make tonight's venue even more shining!"

At this point, he paused slightly, and the applause from below suddenly started again.

When the applause died down again, he continued: "We all know that children represent the future and hope..."

Next, President Karasuma began to introduce the topic of tonight's charity donation project.

Hanemiya Akira almost always hears these contents in one ear and out the other. There is basically no important information in a public speech like this.

Rather than listening to his speech, Yu Gongming was more interested in him.

President Karasuma has gray hair on his temples, an angular face, and deep facial features. His eyes are not the black of ordinary Orientals, but dark green.

"This seems to be a mixed race?" Yu Gongming couldn't help but guess.

He observed for a while longer, eyes slightly narrowed.

During the speech, President Karasuma's words were restrained and full of emotions. Combined with his body movements and demeanor, every word he said seemed to come from the heart and seemed extremely sincere.

Just from this speech, a gentleman with compassion and social responsibility comes to mind.

But that's exactly the problem!

His tone, demeanor, and body movements all perfectly matched what he said, making these words seem sincere without being too exaggerated.

Just one or two sentences is enough, but each sentence can achieve such an effect, which is a bit extraordinary.

Obviously, all this is the result of President Karasuma's deliberate performance.

This is not something that can be achieved by instinctive expression of emotion or a short period of dedicated practice.

Apparently, President Karasuma is quite good at disguising himself.

He perfectly hides his true self and puts on a shell that he wants others to see.

Such people are usually not easy to deal with.

But this is normal. If you don't have real ability, how can you become the president of Karasuma Consortium?

Yu Gongming stared at the other person for a while, then withdrew his gaze.

As the host of the banquet and the president of the Karasuma Foundation, it was reasonable for the other party to attract attention during his speech.

It is understandable to look at it for a period of time.

But if you stare at it for a long time, it will look a bit weird. After all, the content of the speech is not important in the end. It is impossible for normal people to focus on the speaker all the time.

In particular, this is obviously a very good [actor]. Such a person is often more sensitive to the outside world than ordinary people, so Hanamiya Akira cannot help but be careless.

Not long after, Karasuma Tsuneichi finished his speech, walked off the podium, and walked into the corridor behind.

The host came on stage again, continued the process, and began to introduce the charity projects of this dinner.

Roughly speaking, it uses text, photos and videos to introduce the tragic plight of street children and patients with rare diseases. With the melancholy music, the emotional rendering effect is quite good, even Akira Hanamiya is somewhat touched.

But that's all.

He knew very well that the tragic situation of these people would probably not change because of this charity dinner.
