Kaoru Kazama sounded a little guilty when she said this.
She didn't want to recall the process of buying this evening gown; the number on the tag would haunt her forever.
Of course, it is indeed very beautiful.
This black dress is quite selective in terms of who can wear it.
If one lacks the right temperament or the necessary qualities to carry the role, the person will appear very gloomy, like a medieval witch.
However, when Kaoru Kazama wears it, her tall and slender figure of 1.7 meters, combined with the well-tailored fit, not only perfectly accentuates her figure but also makes people subconsciously overlook her flat chest.
Of course, this outfit is custom-made and handcrafted, so in terms of cost-effectiveness alone, it's definitely worth it.
"Let's not talk about that now. Let's get on the boat. It's already evening."
Although it's said that he's dressed as a woman, Sato is actually just wearing a men's suit.
She didn't dress up much, but this sharp suit did highlight Miwako's heroic spirit.
If I had to describe him in one word, he would be handsome.
Few women can exude such a sharp and capable aura; such a unique charm makes them stand out in a crowd and unforgettable.
Overall, they are quite a good match.
The people around her didn't give her any special looks; it was more like, "Such a perfect woman, any man standing next to her would pale in comparison. Yuri is truly the best."
"Mrs. Suzuki, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of me."
Although the Suzuki family's butler was in charge of receiving guests, Chairman Suzuki's wife, Tomoko Suzuki, also stood aside and exchanged pleasantries.
After all, the people who came were either rich or noble, and were basically on the same level as the Suzuki Group. It wouldn't be good to ignore them.
"These must be Officer Kazama and Officer Sato. I apologize for the poor hospitality. I heard from my daughter that Sonoko must have caused you a lot of trouble."
"Are all parents in island nations like this?"
Kazama Kaoru thought to herself, "Eri Kisaki was the same way yesterday, acting like her daughter was some kind of big trouble."
Kaoru Kazama wasn't used to such excessive politeness, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Oh, you're too kind, Mrs. Suzuki. Sonoko and I are only a few years apart in age and we're very good friends. Sonoko is innocent and cheerful, and she's a very lovely girl."
"Really? My daughter has always been mischievous. Anyway, I still want to thank you for taking care of her."
It's clear that the Suzuki family has a pretty good relationship.
At least I've never heard of any dramatic family dramas involving the wealthy. I guess her lack of airs is something she inherited. In any case, Kaoru Kazama never felt that kind of condescension from rich people.
"Should we absolutely avoid going up there?"
Kaoru Kazama looked at the "Dark Star" in his hand with a troubled expression.
She had originally thought Mrs. Suzuki was a rather traditional Japanese woman, but now it seems she's quite the troublemaker.
Looking around, everyone in the venue wore a black pearl on their chest, the so-called Dark Star, which is said to be the heirloom of the Suzuki family.
Of course, they are mostly fakes.
Although Kaoru Kazama doesn't understand antique appraisal, that doesn't mean she doesn't understand people.
Generally speaking, even the wealthiest families wouldn't casually let outsiders wear their family heirlooms, especially if the person is unaware of it.
Moreover, this family heirloom has important significance.
However, although these black pearls are said to be made in imitation of the Suzuki family heirloom, the Dark Star, they are still quite valuable. They are all rare black pearl materials, and the shape and color are deliberately imitated. If they were sold outside, they could fetch a very good price.
This also shows how generous the Suzuki family is; they give away such precious pearls so casually.
However, most of the people who came were wealthy, so it was just a souvenir; probably no one would actually sell it.
Kaoru Kazama stared at her dark star for several moments before stopping, only stopping when Sato looked at her curiously.
"Xiao Xun, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this pearl?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little impressed by the Suzuki family's generosity. An ordinary person like me wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing."
The lives of the rich are beyond your imagination.
Soon, Uncle Mori and his group arrived at the scene.
Although Kaoru Kazama felt that Mrs. Suzuki was quite polite, her behavior towards the older man seemed to indicate otherwise.
She gives the impression of being a very confident, even somewhat arrogant, woman.
The reason he specifically explained his plan to Uncle Mori was probably out of a bit of showing off.
Overall, she is a very lovely woman.
Despite Uncle Mori's "swaggering" demeanor, Kaoru Kazama was quite lively, and finally understood where Sonoko's personality came from.
Ayako Suzuki's quiet personality is probably inherited from Chairman Suzuki.
"Sister Xiaoxun, wow, you look so beautiful today! What do you think? My taste is pretty good, isn't it!"
Although this was a banquet hosted by the Suzuki Foundation, for some reason, Sonoko still chose to ride in the car that Uncle Mori rented, and arrived at the venue with Ran.
This is probably a special hobby of wealthy people.
"Sister Xiaoxun, you look so beautiful today, I almost didn't recognize you."
When Xiaolan speaks in such an exaggerated tone, it's clear how charming Kazama Kaoru is right now.
"Little Conan, what do you think? Am I pretty?"
Kaoru Kazama deliberately squatted down just to tease Conan.
Sure enough, the guy blushed, living up to everyone's expectations.
Teasing Shinichi in front of Ran feels just as exciting as teasing Ran in front of Conan.
"Why are you so late? You almost missed it, you know?"
Kazama Kaoru took out his phone from the system space, glanced at the time, and said.
The cruise ship was scheduled to depart at 7:00 PM sharp, and this guy arrived at the venue at exactly 6:59 PM, which was a close call.
"There was nothing we could do. The uncle's car broke down on the way. If we hadn't met a kind person, we might not have been able to get up here."
"I've never seen a rich heiress hitch a ride with someone else."
"cut"
Sonoko and the older man turned their heads away from each other. Kazama Kaoru sighed, thinking that these two, who were almost two generations apart in age, could actually start arguing. He wondered if humans were truly amazing creatures.
Chapter 300 The cosmetics have been marinated.
"Our Suzuki Foundation has now rightfully entered its sixtieth anniversary. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone for your support and encouragement. I hope that you will all forget about that notorious thief today, and that the more than five hundred distinguished guests present here today will enjoy this grand occasion."
Chairman Suzuki gave his remarks on stage.
Above them was a banner celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Suzuki Foundation; it was quite a grand affair.
Kaoru Kazama glanced at them and found that they were basically either second-generation rich kids or first-generation rich kids.
Of course, Conan's world is quite harmonious; at least there aren't any rich young masters causing trouble.
That makes sense; there were almost no nouveau riche among those present.
People tend to pursue spiritual needs once their material needs are met, which is why nouveau riche always want to squeeze into high society.
Although there are many rich kids here, they have all received elite education. Even if they are mediocre in essence, their social skills and emotional intelligence as survival skills are by no means lacking, so they will not be foolish enough to come and cause trouble.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that Kaoru Kazama and Miwako are not real people.
Although police officers are not as disciplined as soldiers, they can develop a capable and efficient style over time.
This is especially evident in Miwako.
Therefore, anyone who comes here with a brain knows that these two beautiful women are government employees, so who would want to cause trouble for them?
And so, Kaoru Kazama happily began to recall her first high-end banquet through her tongue and taste buds.
Good table manners masked the truth that the food on the plate disappeared rapidly.
However, the twitching corner of the detective's mouth still indirectly revealed that Kaoru Kazama had an extraordinary appetite.
Although it sounds pathetic, Kaoru Kazama did indeed come on an empty stomach.
It's no fun eating good food if you've already eaten a lot beforehand.
However, judging from the scene, the group of people didn't seem to touch their chopsticks much. The most they did was hold a wine glass, swirling the red wine in it pretentiously, and trying to strike up conversations with people.
Kaoru Kazama said she couldn't learn this way of communicating.
However, the Suzuki family's spending is indeed quite extravagant; this 60th anniversary banquet is probably intended to showcase their wealth.
This is different from the low-level flaunting of wealth by the rich; it belongs to a higher level of showing off, and on a larger scale, it may even relate to the future development direction of the Suzuki Group.
Although Chairman Suzuki tried his best to shorten the time, he still talked for more than half an hour.
Fortunately, Kaoru Kazama had already quickly stuffed her stomach with a piece of clothing beforehand, otherwise she might not have been able to withstand it.
"Huh, didn't Miss Ayako come?"
"Yes, my sister is still at home."
"I see. That's a real shame."
A rather ordinary-looking young man sighed, appearing rather downcast.
Sonoko then introduced him to them, saying that although this young man looked ordinary, his family was very wealthy, and he was also Sonoko's older sister, Ayako Suzuki's, fiancé. That's why he asked if Ayako was there.
"So, he's your future brother-in-law?"
Kaoru Kazama was quite curious. The grudges and love affairs within wealthy families have always been used as material for TV dramas, and she wanted to know if it was really as mysterious as portrayed in the dramas.
"That's not wrong. Given my older sister's personality, she probably won't change boyfriends, so it's really true that he's my future brother-in-law."
Sonoko nodded her chin, her expression showing a hint of regret.
In stark contrast to Sonoko's infatuated personality, Ayako Suzuki is a very typical Japanese woman, gentle and kind, and a very domestic girl.
This is a characteristic of the Suzuki Group; the heiresses are all very down-to-earth.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have allowed Sonoko to run wild like this.
