After becoming invincible, start having fun in the world

Chapter 341 Complex Relationship

Sonoko intended to chat with Sato Seiyu for a bit, but a middle-aged man with a very imposing appearance called out to Sato Seiyu from a distance, so she had to give up.

"Yuanzi, do you know him?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"Hmm~ I wouldn't say we know each other." Sonoko put a finger to her lips and looked up in thought. "We've only met a few times at parties."

"He is the younger brother of Sato Chengze, the heir to the Sato Group. Sato Chengze is a very capable person, the kind who can save a collapsing building. However, he does not have that talent as his brother, so his reputation in the industry is not very good."

"But looking at him like this, he might be a good man!"

Sonoko, recalling the moment she was rescued, crossed her arms and began to swoon.

Conan's lips twitched.

'The people the gardener sets her sights on are probably not good people.'

"Is the Sato Foundation also promoting a new product?" Ran asked curiously.

I heard that the Suzuki Group decided to bid for the art exhibition in order to promote their upcoming new product launch.

"It's possible. The Sato Group started out in the leather and jewelry business, so it's understandable that they would promote their new products at an art exhibition. Besides, the president's wife is a well-known art connoisseur in Ginza and even owns her own gallery."

"But Ran, don't think we're here to compete for the promotion of our new product." Sonoko looked around, then lowered her head and whispered, "Actually, it's okay if we don't win the bid this time. The main thing is to get in touch with the organizer. I heard he's a handsome guy."

"Xiao Lan, why don't you give it a try?"

Before Sonoko could finish speaking, Conan interrupted, "Ahem... Oh, right, isn't that handsome host you mentioned standing by the bridge, Sonoko-neechan?"

"Where is it?"

Sonoko's attention was indeed drawn, but when she looked up, it wasn't the face from the information she remembered.

He was a bespectacled man wearing a beige trench coat; his gentle face and long hair flowing in the wind did indeed give him a somewhat melancholic air.

It's hard to describe the garden.

"No, I don't know him, but he is indeed a handsome guy. We definitely made the right choice coming here!"

After saying that, Sonoko took the lead and walked over.

----------

The Mori family was the last to arrive, and after entering the manor, the others had already started chatting in small groups.

Since it was still early, Chu Ke's plan was to first have everyone assign rooms to rest, then hold a dinner party while discussing the investment bidding, and finally save energy for the upcoming murder case. As for the hot spring option, Chu Ke had already cancelled it.

You ask why Chu Ke is so certain that a murder will occur?

If you're asking this question, you've definitely never watched Detective Conan. Besides, this isn't a simple classic three-choice situation. There are twelve people present, including Chu Ke. Okay, eleven and a half. Conan, in terms of both height and his Grim Reaper nature, can't really be considered a person.

This time, it's very likely that more than one person will die.

With this in mind, Chu Ke turned his gaze to the entire audience.

Actually, the atmosphere was already subtly off, with the venue divided into five small groups.

They are: Sato Seizo, his wife Matsushima Banharu, and his sister-in-law Matsushima Bansei, a family of three.

Sato Seiyu was seen with a young woman who appeared to be his girlfriend. Notably, the woman's clothes and makeup seemed to match those of Matsushima Banharu, which was somewhat awkward.

The pick-up team of illustrator Takahashi Mokuhaku and Suzuki Sonoko.

Jiangchuan Yingxue from Jiangchuan Studio stands alone on the windowsill, smoking. And the Maoli family.

The interesting part is that although the group has split into several small groups like the Three Kingdoms, there are also strange connections between them.

First, let's talk about the family group. Sato Seizawa, who has a square face and looks like he has a commanding presence, is chatting with his wife, Matsushima Banharu, seemingly discussing the pleasant surroundings, while his sister-in-law, Matsushima Banharu, listens quietly.

But in reality, Chu Ke's position was just right to see his sister-in-law, Matsushima Wanxing, trying to reach out and grab her brother-in-law, Sato Chengze's, hand from her sister's blind spot, only to have it gently slapped away.

This is the first melon.

Although Sato Seizawa was chatting with his wife, his attention was not on her. His gaze kept drifting towards the dating group, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes.

This is the second piece of gossip (questionable).

At the same time, Matsushima Banharu wasn't really chatting seriously; her gaze was subtly fixed on the couple, or rather, Sato Seiyu, and she seemed somewhat angry.

Her gaze was less concealed than her husband's, but Sato Seizawa ignored it.

This is the third melon.

On the other side, the painter Takahashi Muhaku from the flirting group was seriously answering Sonoko's pointless questions, but his eyes kept glancing in the direction of the family group while he was drinking water.

This is the fourth melon (questionable).

Needless to say, the family group was a different story. Kogoro Mouri was still pretending to look at the painting he didn't understand, Ran was a little nervous with nothing to do, and Conan, like himself, noticed that something was off and was observing everyone.

Before transmigrating, Chu Ke was an art student specializing in painting, and he had some experience in observation. This ability was greatly enhanced after transmigrating.

As they watched, Chu Ke and Conan locked eyes.

Conan was taken aback, then ran behind Chu Ke with a silly grin to cover up, saying, "Wow, this painting looks like it was drawn by Genta from our class!"

"Conan, that's a work of art! How can you compare it to a primary school student's drawing?" Ran quickly came up and gave Conan an apologetic look: "Come back quickly and don't run around, you're causing trouble for others."

Conan chuckled to himself for a moment, then turned around and was startled to find Chu Ke still staring at him.

Before he could say anything more, the walkie-talkie on Chu Ke's waist suddenly rang.

"Young master, the heavy snow has collapsed the nearby signal tower, and there may be no signal for a while. We'll go and call someone to repair it right away."

"Ah."

Chu Ke hung up the phone expressionlessly, glanced at Conan one last time, and then walked out of the manor.

The elementary school student who's about to die has unleashed his power.

He was going to check on the wooden bridge, hoping to witness the moment it broke.

Chu Ke and Suzuki Sonoko had the same idea: it would be a shame not to create a snow-covered mountain lodge in this environment.

Conan, standing next to Chu Ke, twitched his ears and overheard what was being said.

His detective instincts told him something was amiss, so he made an excuse to go to the bathroom and slipped out with Chu Ke.

"Where is he going in this direction?" Conan had a really bad feeling about Chu Ke, and coupled with what he heard on the walkie-talkie, a bad guess came to mind.

"Oh no! Is he going to the wooden bridge?!"

Conan also thought of the snow-covered mountain villa incident that Sonoko had mentioned, and he sped up and ran over, ready to pull out his prop soccer ball for self-defense at any moment.
