Conan: Someone is always trying to murder me

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

The gorgeous crystal chandelier above the head only gently sheds a thin goose-yellow light, but the entire box was filled with gleaming light like water.

Then, a woman in a gorgeous dress, whose face was a little blurry but seemed vaguely graceful and luxurious, walked in directly holding an umbrella.

"No problem, waiting is a privilege that beautiful women can exercise! Moreover, now is the best time to serve food."

The man at the table looked at her and laughed heartily, but glanced at the two waiters in the box from the corner of his eye.

The two waiters immediately understood. One stepped forward to take the woman's umbrella, the other took out a match and elegantly lit several candles on the dining table, and then walked out of the box without stopping.

"Heh, the pomp and circumstance is pretty decent. Tell me, why do you want me to come here?"

After scanning the environment in the private room, the woman walked up to the man sitting on the chair.

The heavy rain outside the floor-to-ceiling window is still falling non-stop. The flickering candlelight reflects the profile of the face, the forehead, the bridge of the nose, the lips, and the chin, outlining soft lines. The woman at the table looks more demure and slightly indifferent.

However, the person's face was completely exposed in the light.

This woman is clearly Kishida’s cheap aunt, Mio Tokiwa...

"It's nothing, I just want to invite you to have a candlelight dinner together on Valentine's Day~"

The man stood up and pulled a chair for Mio Tokiwa like a gentleman.

"...What else do you want to do?"

Mio Tokiwa was silent for a moment and then asked.

"What do you really want to do? It depends on you after dinner, Mio, whether you will appreciate it or not~~"

The man looked at Mio Tokiwa's beautiful figure and gave a hint.

"Sorry, I can eat, but I have to go back after dinner. I have something to do in the evening."

Mio Tokiwa's movements when sitting down were a little unnatural, but she tried her best to keep her tone calm.

"Well, that's a pity. I thought you would want to visit a little thing I got yesterday! I got it with great difficulty. For this reason, I gave the National Institute of Microbiology, Tokyo Blow up."

The man's voice was mellow, and he looked at Mio Tokiwa with a look of regret and said.

(°ー°〃)! ! !

"Were you responsible for what happened at the Institute of Microbiology?"

Tokiwa Mio was startled, her face full of astonishment, and she asked repeatedly.

"Ha~ I'd better let you take a look!"

The man chuckled lightly and took out a test tube that was shining with green light in the light from the pocket inside his suit.

"What is this? What kind of test product in the research institute?"

Mio Tokiwa's pupils narrowed slightly and he opened his mouth to ask.

"No, no, no! This is not a test product, but a virus! A virus that has no antidote and has a high infection rate and fatality rate!"

Shaking the test tube slightly, the man smacked his mouth and seemed to be saying contentedly.

"You lunatic! What on earth do you want to do!?"

Hearing this, Tokiwa Mio's eyes widened and she pointed her finger at him. Her face was a little frightened, and the whole raised arm seemed to be trembling slightly.

"What do you want to do? Of course, it's business... Heh~"

The man's eyes flickered, and mid-sentence, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Tokiwa Mio's white and delicate arm with one hand.

"Ah! Let me go!"

Mio Tokiwa was startled and wanted to withdraw her hand, but she was not as strong as the man opposite her.

"Did you do what I asked you to do at noon?"

The man ignored Tokiwa Mio's struggles and shouts, and asked domineeringly while playing with her catkins.

"Let me go first."

Tokiwa Mio didn't answer, just struggled.

"Snapped!"

The man's big, thick hand hit her hard on the cheek without hesitation.

"ah!"

Along with a painful scream, the right side of Mio Tokiwa's face quickly swelled up.

"Let me ask you again, is the matter settled?"

The man's voice suddenly dropped to an extreme level.

"...I did it. I sent invitation letters not only to those consortiums, but also to talent from all walks of life. I even sent out Xiao Yuichi's share. But Representative Oki was killed, and the police asked I cancel the opening ceremony this time, although I insist on holding it, but some people may not come.”

Mio Tokiwa covered her face and glared at the lunatic in front of her. She was silent for a while, fearing that he would strike again without warning, so she could only grit her teeth and say harshly.

"Hmph, I know this. It's a side issue! Forget it, just come as many as you can!"

Hearing this, the man snorted coldly and seemed to be dissatisfied with this matter.

"Didn't you kill Representative Omu?"

Mio Tokiwa was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.

"Haha, what do you think?"

The man looked at her with a sneer.

"..."

Mio Tokiwa's eyes flickered and he fell silent for a moment.

This stupid woman seems to have had some bad thoughts.

He knew this from the moment Mio Tokiwa came in, but he didn't expect that she would become so fast and so stupid!

Haha, it's for her damn nephew...

He looked at Mio Tokiwa gently from the corner of his eye, looking at the arm she held in his hand, which seemed to reflect the shining light under the candlelight, and the man sneered inwardly.

Then, in silence, with only a few voices communicating, more than ten minutes passed. The various delicacies on the round table shone with oil under the candlelight, with bright colors and hot air, which looked very appetizing.

However, Mio Tokiwa, whose cheek was obviously swollen, was obviously in no mood to eat. She only ate a few bites casually, put down the knife and fork in her hand, and said with some difficulty:

"I'm full. If there is nothing else, I will go back first. There are still some things to prepare tomorrow. "

"Really don't you want to be intimate with me?"

The man took a tissue and wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth, looked at her gently, and said slowly.

That expression was like the redness and swelling on Mio Tokiwa's face, which had nothing to do with him...

"...No!"

After that, Mio Tokiwa shook her head and was about to stand up.

"You can leave, but before you leave...Pah!"

Seeing this, the man smiled lightly and clapped his hands twice.

Then, the two waitresses just now came in from outside and blocked the door.

"What do you want to do? Haven't touched a woman for a few days? Do you want to attack me directly?"

Tokiwa Mio's heart sank, and she looked at the man expressionlessly.

"No, no, I have a new target recently. They are younger than you and are quite troubled. Oh, by the way, one of them seems to be very dissatisfied with your nephew! Hahaha~"

The man shook his fingers, raised his eyebrows frivolously, and laughed like crazy.

"So, why are you stopping me?"

Because she knew that she was still useful to him, at least until tomorrow, she knew that he would not kill her tonight, so Tokiwa Mio did not panic, but just looked at him with a flickering look.

"Stop you, of course, to see if you, a stupid woman, have anything to record with!"

After saying that, she looked at the man and shook his head, signaling the two waiters to give her a full body search.

"Are you doubting me!?"

Tokiwa Mio's face changed, and she subconsciously took a step back, but was directly held down by the two waiters.

"No, this is just for prevention!"

~~~~

"So, in order to prevent colds, even if you don't like the taste, you have to drink the ginger soup~~"

On the other side, watching Kishida coming out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, holding the ginger soup that had been heated once, Akemi looked at him and said with a smile.
