I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

Soon, as the speech ended and the video turned off, the lights in the venue came back on, and Ishioka Aili picked up the microphone again on the stage to announce the final matters.

"Then we have a good news to announce to you all. The public can also obtain the train riding qualification through online lottery~!"

"Well, today's press conference ends here. Please enjoy the banquet~"

“Great!”*3

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers from three little ones were heard from the other side of the venue, causing Serabelle to squint slightly.

What do you mean by “great news”? It’s just a draw. It’s not a guaranteed win… Oh, so that’s how it is.

A brief sideways glance allowed him to see the three little figures running towards a certain Miss Sono behind the crowd.

Well, to some extent, as long as there are draws available for the public, these are all feasible.

But the next second, Serabelle tilted her head in confusion.

The expected scene where Yuanzi was surrounded by the three little ones, criticized them with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and then turned around and agreed did not happen.

Instead, Sonoko, with an uneasy look on his face, casually got rid of the three little ones and headed straight towards them.

"Mom, and Sera-kun, have you seen Dad up to now? I've been looking for him for a long time but couldn't find him."

"Eh? Shouldn't he be with his friends?"

Chapter 809 This is a war between rich women!

"No, I've looked everywhere, but I can't find it."

Yuanzi shook her head quickly. Her father's sudden disappearance made her nervous and panicked.

Although she usually seems to have a carefree personality, she is still the second daughter of the Suzuki Group after all. Especially after her elder sister Ayako got married, Sonoko became the only heir to the Suzuki Group, so she has received some education on personal safety.

For example, even if it is just a simple trip to the bathroom, at least one or two trusted people around you will know.

Besides, the press conference just ended. Even if her father was in a hurry, he wouldn't necessarily choose to go to the toilet when the lights were turned off and it was dark in the venue, right?

This... there is definitely something wrong!

"But didn't your dad send you a message earlier saying that he had already arrived at the venue with a few of his friends?"

Suzuki Tomoko was slightly stunned.

Yuanzi nodded in response and quickly took out her cell phone from the bag she was carrying.

"Dad did send it, and he even took a photo for me."

The screen lit up, and the text message contained a selfie of Shiro Suzuki. In the background, he was seen walking with a middle-aged American man with a slightly dark complexion and a suit.

"This person seems to be..."

When she saw the dark American man, Serabelle raised her eyebrows slightly.

He had some impression of this person. When he first arrived at the venue, he had pointed out the other person from the series of people who were calling out the names of dishes by Ooka Momiji, and said that he was some new automobile company giant, etc.

"Oh, this person is President Floyd, whom I mentioned before."

At this time, Ooka Hongye who was standing nearby also noticed the situation and came over. After seeing the photo, she said casually.

"John Floyd was originally the general agent of American cars in Japan. He had always been suppressed by Mitsubishi Motors. But after the chairman of Mitsubishi Motors, Kenzo Masuyama, disappeared inexplicably last year, Mitsubishi Motors also suffered a setback. American cars led by Floyd seized the opportunity during this period and quickly occupied the market originally occupied by Mitsubishi Motors, becoming the leader of the Japanese automobile industry in one fell swoop."

"In fact, our Ooka family originally wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with them, but my grandfather was a little bit against American cars, so we gave up in the end."

"Well~ It's a good thing that you Ooka family gave up."

Hearing this, Suzuki Tomoko's lips curled up into an inexplicable smile.

"So now Floyd Motors is cooperating with our Suzuki Group."

Well……

Ooka Hongye, who was just a little embarrassed the last second, suddenly changed her expression when she heard this.

It's like I can make fun of myself, but that doesn't mean you're welcome to follow my words and curse me.

She just said that the Ooka family missed the opportunity to cooperate with the current leader in the automotive industry, but you, Suzuki, turned around and said, "It's a good thing you gave up so that we got the opportunity."

Isn't this equivalent to scolding the Ooka family for having no business acumen!

A faint smell of gunpowder began to permeate the air, stunning Yuanzi, who was holding his cell phone nearby.

Why does it seem like my mom is also quite hostile to Ooka Hongye? Is she helping her get back the spot she lost in the parking lot?

Great, she is really treated like a biological daughter!

Uh, no, no, no...

Suddenly realizing that the content of the conversation seemed to have completely deviated from the original topic, Sonoko quickly shook her head, put away her phone, and turned up the volume to drown out the two people who were arguing with each other.

"Stop, stop, stop. We don't have to talk about this right now. We have to find my dad first!"

"..."

"..."

After a brief silence, Suzuki Tomoko spoke first, turning her head and looking around.

"Anyway, let's go find President Floyd first. Didn't he come here with your father before? He should know."

"Oh, that's right. Let me see. President Floyd..."

It was not difficult to find an American with brown skin among a group of light-skinned Asians, especially when this American was quite tall and stood in the crowd like a landmark building. After searching for a while, Yuanzi quickly locked on her target.

"Oh found it, right there!"

Just like in the photo, President Floyd of the newly emerged automotive giant is currently chatting happily with others around him.

If we follow normal interests, at this time we should naturally wait until the other person has finished talking before finding an opportunity to go over.

However, Yuanzi couldn't care about so many things at the moment, so he just ran towards the people and hurried over.

"Hello, President Floyd, may I bother you for a moment? My father seems to..."

At the same time, something small seemed to have happened on the other side of the venue.

"... Yuan Taijun, what are you doing?"

"Hmm~"

Just near where the hotel had arranged its dining car, a chubby little guy was seen crawling on the ground in a standard canine posture, with his butt sticking out in a funny way and his nose seriously placed close to the open space in front of him, sniffing carefully.

He looked so engrossed in the show that he even turned a deaf ear to the calls of his companions behind him.

It was not until a long while had passed that he suddenly jumped up from the ground, pointing at the empty space in front of him and shouted.

"It smells like yakiniku eel, but why is there no eel here?!"

This may not seem like a big problem to others, as it is nothing more than a dish being taken away after it is finished.

But for Yuantai, an eel eater, he had been looking forward to eel-related delicacies being provided at the venue from the very beginning.

If there hadn't been other foods on the plate before and he hadn't considered that putting the eel directly on the plate would ruin the taste of other foods, he would have started devouring the grilled eel voraciously.

As a result, after finally waiting for the press conference to end and the lights to come back on, when I wanted to get some cha cha, I found that both the food and the food cart had been pushed away.

But how is this possible? It was clearly full when I looked at it before.

This must have been secretly taken away by someone when the lights were turned off just now!

Xiaopang is angry!

At this time, the hotel staff nearby also noticed the situation near the dining car, so they came over and asked in a gentle voice.

"Three little friends, do you have any questions?"

"Have!"

Without any psychological burden at all, Yuan Tai pointed angrily to the empty seat in the dining cart where the grilled eel was originally placed.

"The yaki eel that was originally placed here is gone. Someone stole it!"

"Steal... This should be withdrawing, hiss~ This seems a bit wrong..."

The staff was about to say that they had probably been evacuated, but then they thought that something was indeed wrong.

"Just before the lights were turned off at the press conference, I remember there were still quite a lot of unagi grilled, and they were basically untouched. There's no reason to remove the food so quickly?"

"Yeah, yeah, I said it must have been stolen by someone!"

"Hmm, kids, wait a moment. Let me ask what's going on in the kitchen first..."

As the staff member spoke, he took out a walkie-talkie from behind his waist and was about to contact the kitchen.

At this moment, a panicked voice with a hint of fear came from the crowd not far away.

"Don't, don't ask me, I don't know anything!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, dark figure violently pushed through the crowd and fled the venue in a hurry.

He spoke English, which scared even his native language out.

Chapter 810: Eel Stew Immortal Yuan Tai

I looked for my father, but he wasn't there; I asked my acquaintances, but they were scared away.

Things have come to this point, and no matter how slow-witted one is, one should know that there is definitely a problem.

There was no other choice but to call the police.

This time, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department demonstrated unprecedented high efficiency.

After all, the problem occurred at a gathering at the top of Japanese society, and it was the launch of the vacuum superconducting maglev train that the whole world is paying attention to. In addition, the person who disappeared was the official head of the Suzuki Group.

Things have come to this point, and even if the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department wants to slack off, it will be impossible.

As expected, the one who came was the hardworking Officer Megure.

It was still a familiar process. First, the scene was cleared to preserve evidence, and all people, including the hotel staff who had entered and left the venue, were brought in to record their statements. Then, all the suspicious points at the scene were studied one by one.

Of course, the confession of the parties involved is also indispensable.

"Hmm... So, Sonoko, you suddenly discovered that your father was missing, right?"

In the conference room which was now deserted compared to the lively one before, Inspector Megure listened to Sonoko's description with a serious face.

"But Yuanzi, you also said that your father didn't come with you today. He came with a few other friends. So are you sure that your father must have come to the venue today?"

"Sure, sure!"

Sonoko nodded hurriedly and took out the photo from her phone again to show Inspector Megure.

"This is a photo my dad took at the venue. I saw him before, but he was talking to someone else at the time, so I didn't go over directly."

"I see."

Inspector Megure nodded slightly, then turned to look at Serabelle beside him.

"Brother Sera, you are here too. Did you notice anything unusual in the venue?"

"I didn't really pay attention..."

Serabelle told the truth.

After all, he had Mrs. Suzuki on his left and Oogaoka Momiji on his right, and Jinghua was roaming around waiting for an opportunity to strike. It was really difficult to notice the movements of a middle-aged rich man in a crowded venue.

"Well, okay." Inspector Megure scratched the back of his head, "What about Ms. Ooka and Ms. Hattori, did you notice anything?"

"I've always been with Sera-kun~"

Ooka Hongye shrugged and held the boy's arm slightly tighter.

This means that since Serabelle didn't see it, then she didn't see it either.

But Hattori Shizuka pinched her chin gently and said thoughtfully.

"Come to think of it, when I turned off the lights, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in the darkness."

"Electricity?!"

Inspector Megure's eyes widened as he felt that he had found the key to solving the case.

"sure?"

"If I really want to say it, it was only for a moment, and I only saw it out of the corner of my eye..."
