Xia Chuan smiled and nodded, pulling the tackle box in his hand: "I heard from a friend that the success rate of fishing in Izu is relatively high, so I came to take a look."

"There's nothing!" Suzuki Sonoko stuck her head out to take a look and found only fishing gear but no fish.

Looks like it's another day in the Air Force.

"So I just heard it. It seems that friends can't be trusted~" Xia Chuan shook his head and asked: "By the way, Yuanzi, what are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to pick up Xiaolan!"

"Pick up Xiaolan?"

"Yes, I heard that she came to Izu. I happened to be there, so I wanted to invite her to visit my villa complex. The beach over there is also very good. The key is that the area belongs to our consortium. If there are fewer people, it will definitely be fun to play."

“That sounds good.”

While the two were chatting, Maori and his group also came out.

Conan followed at the back with serious dark circles under his eyes.

Not only did he not sleep well last night, but he also got up early this morning to send Haibara Ai and Dr. Agasa back to Tokyo. He was exhausted.

He thought that the matter was over and he could go back to Tokyo to have a good rest, but unexpectedly, while brushing his teeth, Xiaolan told him that she was invited by Sonoko to visit the Suzuki family's villa in Izu.

It's really a wave of calmness and another wave of rise.

If he had known earlier, he would have gone back with Haibara Ai. Although Professor Agasa brought a lot of local specialties and filled the back seat, if he had known the itinerary in advance, he would rather stuff them in the trunk.

This trip to Izu was a bit of a headache.

Not only was the case fragmentary, but Xia Chuan's identity was not ascertained, and he wasn't even seen.

The unexpected surprise, Tequila, only appeared for a moment, and he now even suspected that Haibara Ai had seen it wrong.

"Sonoko." Xiaolan saw Suzuki Sonoko from afar and started waving. When she ran over, she found Natsukawa chatting with Sonoko.

"Hey, why is Natsukawa-san also in Izu?"

"Are you also in Izu? It seems you also stayed at the Izu Grand Hotel yesterday?" Xia Chuan asked knowingly.

"Uncle Xiachuan, are you also staying at the Izu Hotel? Why haven't we seen you all day?"

Conan suddenly perked up. He had been looking for the other person for the whole day yesterday. Where on earth was this guy hiding? He couldn't even see his shadow.

When I give up, he runs out again.

I always feel a little disgusted.

"Come on, isn't this normal? There are so many people staying in the hotel, do you have to look at everyone?"

Kogoro Mouri yawned and punched Conan.

This little brat didn't sleep yesterday and was walking around the room all night. He was almost scared to death when he got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

At first I thought Conan was sleepwalking and didn’t dare to disturb him, but later I found out that Conan wasn’t asleep at all.

After all this commotion, he almost damaged his bladder.

He had been thinking of a reason to beat the other person up all morning, and now he finally achieved his goal.

Comfortable——

"Oh, maybe I came back late. When I came back, I heard from the hotel staff that a murder case had occurred, and the case was solved by the famous detective Maori Kogoro not long after.

Uncle Maori is still so amazing. I didn't expect that he solved the case so quickly. It's a pity that I didn't get to see your style. "

Natsukawa shook his head and sighed, with an expression of regret on his face, which made Kogoro Mori very happy.

"Hahaha, it's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

Maori Kogoro scratched his head and laughed: "I really didn't do anything in this case. It was mainly because of the video left by the mysterious person. Otherwise, it would still take a lot of effort."

This case is indeed not worth mentioning. He did not do anything at all. He mainly relied on the video and the note on the balcony.

The existence of the video was final, and Akiko Sayama had no intention of refuting it.

"By the way, Brother Xiachuan, are you ready to go home now?"

Xia Chuan nodded: "I originally planned to play for one more day, but the fact that fishing here is relatively simple is just a rumor, and Frank is not a reliable guy at all. I have to make him come back when I go back."

"Why don't we go to my villa in Izu? There is a private sea area near our villa, so fishing should be a lot easier."

Suzuki Sonoko was quite enthusiastic, and Natsukawa had helped their Suzuki Group several times. Plus, they were friends, so it was only natural to invite her.

Seeing that Natsukawa seemed to be interested, Suzuki Sonoko continued, "By the way, there is one more thing I need to discuss with Uncle Maori and Brother Natsukawa."

"whats the matter?"

Natsukawa and Maori both looked at him with doubt.

"Oh, you will know when the time comes. Let your sister tell you when the time comes."

Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand and asked the driver to get in the car.

When we got in the car, she stuck half of her head out again and said, "Go ahead and drive the car. Follow my car later."

Xia Chuan seemed to be thinking about something, and drove to catch up with confusion.

"Uncle Xia Chuan, did you really go fishing last night?"

Conan did not choose to follow Kogoro Mouri, but instead got into Natsukawa's car. His purpose was self-evident.

He was still a little concerned. Was Xia Chuan really here to fish?

I clearly heard Huibara say it was about work.

Moreover, there are so many people on Izu Beach that the fish near the coast will not stay in this sea area at all.

"of course."

"But there are so many people at Izu Beach. Could it be that Uncle Natsukawa has done something that we cannot know about? It's not a good place to fish either."

Conan narrowed his eyes and spoke sharply, like a sword!

"hehe."

Xia Chuan chuckled, turned around and stroked the dog's head, saying, "I didn't betray Joel. Yesterday, near dusk, I followed the fishing boat out to sea, not fishing on the shore."

"Uh......"

Who said you betrayed Joel?

Conan was speechless. Were his words so ambiguous? Why did he think of Joel?

"When did you go to sea?"

"In the afternoon, because we need to go to the outer waters, we will go out to sea early. It will be dark when we arrive."

"Is this so..."

Seeing that he couldn't get any information, Conan had to give up. If he wanted to confirm whether Natsukawa really went out to sea, he had to investigate the fishing boat. However, Izu is so big that it would be impossible to find out which fishing boat Natsukawa was on.

Natsukawa smiled, inadvertently resolving Conan's doubts, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the Suzuki family's villa area in Izu.

This area is very empty, with only two villas standing in the huge seaside villa.

The villa is surrounded by lush flowers and plants, with birds singing and insects chirping, making it look like a paradise.

Compared to the noisy Izu Beach, this place can be considered a holiday resort for the rich.

Under the leadership of Suzuki Sonoko, the group first came to the beach. As for their luggage, servants helped them put it away.

"What a refreshing sea breeze. The air is fresher than Izu Beach."

Xiaolan opened her arms and felt the cool sea breeze caressing her whole body.

"Of course, this is our Suzuki family's villa, it must be different from others."

"Haha, Yuanzi, you should stop saying such things. Doesn't your sister always tell you to be more low-key when speaking?"

Suzuki Sonoko looked back and saw that the person who spoke was a young man with slightly dark skin.

He was wearing beach shorts and flip-flops, and from his expression you could tell that he was just joking.

"Brother Xiong San, can't you just speak nicely? Besides, I'm not being low-key at all!"

Suzuki Sonoko was not wrong in saying this.

Among the descendants of Japan's conglomerate, Suzuki Sonoko is probably the most low-key.

She walks home after class, doesn't need a driver to pick her up when she goes out, and even when she goes shopping, she just strolls around casually with Xiaolan. She doesn't have the habit of being a lady from a wealthy family who only goes to branded stores.

"Let me introduce to you all, this is Xiong San, my sister's fiancé."

"I've seen her before on the Sally Beth." Xia Chuan nodded at the other party.

He had an impression of this guy. For Suzuki Ayako, he should be a very suitable marriage partner.

At least on the surface, he has a good personality and a good family background. Except for the fact that his father is about to die, everything else is fine.

Yes, his dad is dying.

After seeing the other person's appearance, this case naturally appeared in his mind - the triplet murder case.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him.

Even if the other party's father falls, he won't be able to make any money.

Love is life-threatening, just go with the flow.

He could report this information to Gin in advance, and perhaps Gin could do something by obtaining the information in advance.

But is it necessary?

He is not a real member of the winery. There is no need for a spy to go too far. He just needs to guard his own piece of land.

"Sonoko, has your sister arrived yet?"

"I've arrived a long time ago. I should be in the villa."

Tomizawa Yuzo nodded and smiled, "That's good. I plan to introduce my father and two brothers to her tomorrow."

"Uh-huh."

Suzuki Sonoko is still very much looking forward to it. Not to mention the marriage between the two conglomerates, the relationship between her sister and brother Yuzo is really good, and she hopes that her sister can be happy.

Xiachuan: ...

They are already fiancée and fiancé, but Suzuki Ayako has never met each other's parents. This is really strange.

Are all engagement parties in Japan so formal? Parents are not required to be present at the engagement?

"How did your sister get engaged when she hasn't even met the parents yet?"

Xia Chuan couldn't help but ask.

For no other reason, just out of curiosity.

"Because my father was overseas for business when we got engaged, he didn't have time to come back. Uncle Suzuki was also busy, so there was nothing we could do about it." Tomizawa Yuzo smiled embarrassedly, "But before the engagement, my father had already met Mr. Suzuki once, so there was no problem with etiquette."

"That's it..."

Xia Chuan nodded, that wasn't too outrageous.

"By the way, let's go back to the villa and rest for a while, and then go to the beach in the afternoon. Brother Xiong San can meet with my sister first to discuss how to arrange a meeting between the two parties tomorrow."

Xia Chuan didn't care and just followed the host's wishes.

Led by Suzuki Sonoko, the group arrived at the Suzuki Villa.

Suzuki Villa and Toizawa Villa are just opposite each other. It is said that after the two get married, this villa will become the private property of the newlyweds, and it will be the best choice for a vacation or honeymoon.

"Old lady—"

As soon as I opened the door, Yuanzi started shouting.

"Yuanzi, please pay attention to your image, okay?"

Suzuki Ayako walked out of the inner room, and with her was a kind middle-aged man who looked a little plump.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Tozawa, but that's just Sonoko's personality."

"It's okay." The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand: "Yuanzi is still young, it's a good thing for her to be more energetic."

"Father, why are you here too?"

Tomizawa Yusada was shocked. They had agreed to meet tomorrow, so why did his father come early? Ayako didn't know if she was being bullied.

He knew very well what his father was like.
