After coming out of the bathroom, Akikawa Sosuke saw the agent Miss Itakura Misaki, who was chatting with the big star Okino Yoko.

When the two saw Akikawa Sosuke coming out, they stopped chatting and looked over at him.

"I didn't expect that Akikawa-kun would be favored by Miss Suzuki. How amazing!"

Okino Yoko crossed her slender and white fingers in front of her, revealing a very surprised expression.

"Yeah"

Akikawa Sosuke nodded gently,

and at the same time, he was a little curious about the reason why Okino Yoko deliberately wanted to pull him out of the team of death god elementary school students.

He felt that,

with Okino Yoko's emotional intelligence and business ability, she should not do something that might make the second lady of the Suzuki Group unhappy without any reason.

Akikawa Sosuke chatted with Okino Yoko for a while.

Suddenly, Yoko Okino solemnly reminded him:

"Akikawa-kun, you should have less contact with Ms. Mori and Conan-kun in the future."

"Okay."

Akikawa Sosuke nodded.

He thought to himself that he had never thought of deliberately getting close to these characters with the aura of the god of death.

Yoko Okino was very happy to hear that Akikawa Sosuke agreed to her without even asking for the reason.

The arc of her slightly upturned mouth corners also became deeper, and it can be seen that she was in a very good mood at the moment.

Akikawa Sosuke and Itakura Misaki followed Yoko Okino for a while and came to an exhibition hall.

After entering the exhibition hall, Akikawa Sosuke saw the name that Yoko Okino had mentioned just now through the position of the work introduction on the wall-

Hotta Yoshitoki.

At this time, there was a man and a woman standing and chatting in the exhibition hall.

Akikawa Sosuke judged from the photos on the wall that the man was the director named Hortta Yoshitoki.

After hearing the footsteps, the two people in the exhibition hall looked over here.

The two did not show any special expression when Yoko Okino appeared.

But after they saw Akikawa Sousuke and Itakura Misaki beside Yoko Okino.

Both of them showed a little confusion on their faces.

"Ms. Yoko, who are these two?"

Yoshitoki Horita looked at Yoko Okino and asked curiously.

"This is Akikawa Sousuke, a junior in my company, and his acting skills are very good."

"Next to him is Akikawa-kun's agent, Misaki Itakura."

Yoko Okino introduced to Yoshitoki Horita and the woman beside him.

"When these two people saw Okino Yoko appear, they didn't show any surprise on their faces, which means they already knew that Okino Yoko would come here."

"I thought she was just looking for a reason to pull me out of the Shinigami Elementary School, but I didn't expect that she actually made an appointment to meet someone in advance."

Akikawa Sosuke sighed in his heart, and then began to introduce himself to the two.

"My name is Akikawa Sosuke, please give me your advice."

"Well, hello, Akikawa-kun, my name is Horita Yoshitoki."

"Oda Ema." The woman said.

After a brief self-introduction, Horita Yoshitoki and Oda Ema started chatting with Okino Yoko.

Akikawa Sosuke and Itakura Misaki listened silently on the side without speaking.

Akikawa Sosuke observed the people present.

He noticed that when Horita Yoshitoki spoke, half of his cheek did not move, and his left eyelid drooped, which looked very asymmetrical.

"Facial paralysis?"

In addition, Akikawa Sosuke also noticed that Yoshitoki Horita's face had very obvious scars from surgery.

"It seems that it is not congenital facial paralysis, but it is caused by an acquired accident."

"And when he talked to Yoko Okino, he did not show any inferiority complex because of the defects of his appearance."

"It seems that he is a director with excellent personal abilities and very confident in himself."

Akikawa Sosuke thought in his heart.

As for Oda Ema on the side.

She is currently the only person in the exhibition hall who carries a notebook and a ballpoint pen with her.

Although since Yoko Okino came, the content of their conversations has basically revolved around the stage performances that Yoko Okino participated in before.

But Oda Ema still picked up the notebook from time to time during the conversation and wrote something on it.

To say her biggest difference,

is that when Oda Ema speaks, she focuses more on the plot of the story.

And Yoshitoki Horita talks more about the core and emotional tone of the story, as well as the expressiveness of the characters.

"One is a director, and the other is a screenwriter. And they both seem to have high status in the Japanese film and television industry."

In addition, Akikawa Sosuke noticed a detail.

That is, the bottom of Oda Ema's left ring finger is whiter than the skin on other parts of her hand.

At the same time, Oda Ema also wore a necklace with a unique diamond pendant on her neck.

This expensive stone is now shining under the lights in the exhibition hall.

"Extramarital affair."

Akikawa Sosuke thought silently in his heart, but did not say much.

Later, Okino Yoko also cleverly led the topic and let Akikawa Sosuke participate in it.

After hearing that Akikawa Sosuke was the actor of Sae Kotani in the stage play of "The Lost City Girl Detective", the two industry leaders became more interested in Akikawa Sosuke.

However, Akikawa Sosuke could see that these two had never seen the stage play of "The Lost City Girl Detective".

So they must have known the character of "Kodani Sae" through some means, and performed outstandingly in the stage play of "The Lost City Girl Detective".

Time passed by minute by minute.

Suddenly, Yoshitoki Hotta raised his wrist and glanced at the time on it.

"Ah, it's almost time for the dinner, it's almost time to go back."

"Hey, time flies, I have to go back and take a shower and put on makeup again."

In this way, the chat that lasted for more than an hour finally stopped.

Back to the hotel.

Okino Yoko checked in with Akikawa Sosuke and Itakura Misaki, and then said goodbye to the two temporarily after confirming Akikawa Sosuke's room number.

Akikawa Sosuke went back to the room for a simple wash.

And at 6:30 in the evening, he came to the 7th floor of the Harbor Royal Court Hotel where he was.

Here, there is a super huge banquet hall with a stage.

At this time, many people have gathered in the banquet hall.

Looking around, basically all the men are in suits and ties.

And the women are all in evening gowns.

Their exposed skin is embellished with various jewelry, which is particularly eye-catching.

Itakura Misaki is obviously not used to this kind of occasion, and behaves a little timidly.

Akikawa Sosuke has participated in many such banquets in his previous life, and he does not feel any special fear about it.

However, with his current status, it is obviously not appropriate to participate in such a banquet full of upper-class atmosphere without being humble or arrogant.

So Akikawa Sosuke also followed Itakura Misaki and stayed in a position slightly closer to the outside of the banquet hall.

After a while, the clock pointed to half past six.

An old man who looked old but still looked energetic walked onto the stage and picked up the microphone.

He is the consultant of the Suzuki Group and Suzuki Sonoko's uncle - Suzuki Jirokichi.

Suzuki Jirokichi addressed the audience, and the dinner officially began.

The outside of the banquet hall was full of chefs in white chef uniforms, and in front of them was a buffet table filled with various exquisite dishes.

On the other side, there was a bartender who specially mixed drinks on the spot according to the needs of the guests.

The huge banquet hall was filled with the sound of guests laughing and chatting.

After three rounds of wine, the dishes were five flavors.

As time passed, the frequency of guests picking up food on the spot decreased significantly.

The sound of chatting was also much louder than at the beginning of the previous banquet.

It was at this time.

An abrupt scream broke the cheerful atmosphere of the dinner.
