"There are two suspicious points in Akemi's death. First, she was one of the bank robbers, but she wasn't the one who killed her two accomplices, yet her belongings were found at the crime scene; second, why did she appear in that shed, who was she going to meet, and why did she go to meet that person? These two suspicious points indicate that someone wanted Akemi to die."
Heiji's eyes shone with a piercing light.
Shiho Miyano lowered her head, her cold and pretty eyes showed a trace of confusion, and slowly, her gaze cleared.
"Brother-in-law, I'm going to leave first."
Heiji was a little stunned: "You have a mission?"
Shiho Miyano nodded, took a step, and when she was about to reach the door, she turned to look at Heiji: "Brother-in-law, did my sister ever say you were very cold?"
Heiji froze, and when he came to his senses, Shiho Miyano had already disappeared into the crowd.
Cold?
Naturally cold.
After so many years as an assassin, he had gotten used to hiding his true personality, now he was just releasing his more cheerful side. However, for Shiho Miyano to be able to perceive it, showed that her observation skills were also top-notch.
In an alley, Conan got up from the ground.
Touching the bump on his head, he couldn't help but take a sharp breath of cold air, and a pitiful cry echoed in the alley.
After Heiji left the coffee shop, he walked calmly down the street with his hands in his pockets. The sun was setting in the west, and without realizing it, it was already dusk. When he returned to the parking lot, as expected, he was harshly criticized by the three girls.
"Heiji, really, you're older and have less sense of time than Conan," Kazuha said with pouted lips.
"I saw him, brother Heiji was having coffee and cake in the coffee shop," Conan shouted from the side.
After Shiho Miyano left, Heiji didn't leave immediately, but stayed seated having afternoon tea, calculating that the three girls would have already finished their shopping before leaving, but he didn't expect this boy, Conan, to see him.
"Wow! Heiji, do you think there's no cake at my house?" Sonoko asked, displeased.
"I was just tired and sat down to eat something, don't worry, tonight I can still eat half of your cake," Heiji said confidently.
"Great! I'll tell the butler to prepare one more right now," Sonoko suddenly said enthusiastically.
Heiji's face darkened and he pleaded: "My lady Sonoko, I was wrong, okay?"
"That's better."
Suddenly, a clear and sonorous laugh filled the car.
[Heh, what's so funny about this?]
With Sonoko being the heiress of the Suzuki Group, her birthday party would naturally not be anything ordinary.
In fact, when Heiji's group arrived at their destination, they were speechless.
"Sonoko, did your family rent an entire mansion to celebrate your birthday?" Kazuha was dumbfounded.
"It's really huge, and there are so many people." Ran was also stupefied.
[Truly worthy of the heiress of the Suzuki Group, they're either corporation presidents or high-ranking officials and dignitaries.]
Conan looked in amazement at the people coming and going, each of them was a celebrity of society.
Heiji silently observed the surroundings with his hands in his pockets.
This was the habit of an assassin, every time he arrived at a new place, he would familiarize himself with the environment. It wasn't for any particular reason, it was simply a habit.
It was a very large mansion, occupying at least several tens of acres, surrounded by high walls. Small paths crisscrossed everywhere, filled with well-kept flowerbeds and vegetation. The sky was darkening and the lights were turning on, creating a spectacle of colors.
There were three independent European-style villas, with luxurious decoration and ornaments, and a huge amount of lights that illuminated the villas completely.
People came and went, all dressed elegantly and dazzlingly, luxury brands rarely seen in daily life were everywhere, their behavior was courteous and their manners elegant, showing their good upbringing.
Suddenly, Heiji's expression changed, and he approached Sonoko: "Sonoko, where is the bathroom?"
Sonoko instinctively pointed in one direction: "That villa is for public use."
After saying it, she reacted instantly.
"Heiji, I can take you to my villa!"
However, Heiji's figure had already disappeared into the crowd.
"I'm sorry, Kazuha, I didn't mean to."
Sonoko was a little anxious, that place was a public bathroom, and normal guests wouldn't go there.
Kazuha didn't know the reason, but after hearing Sonoko's explanation, she smiled slightly: "Heiji isn't that picky, besides, on an occasion like this, it's already a fortune that we were able to come, we don't have to be so demanding."
"What are you saying? Ran, Kazuha, you are always my good friends, how can you be so distant?"
Sonoko took Kazuha's and Ran's hands and said seriously.
Kazuha and Ran looked at each other and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, of course we are your good friends."
Suddenly, the three girls burst into laughter.
[Women, how strange they are.]
Conan followed them, bored.
Heiji walked quickly in the direction Sonoko had pointed. Since he was wearing cheap clothes, no one approached him to chat on the way…
"Waiter, could you tell me where the bathroom is?"
Just as Heiji was coming out of the bathroom, a man dressed in a suit approached to ask.
"It's right behind me."
"That kind of bathroom?" The man looked somewhat disgusted: "You're mistaken, I mean where is the bathroom for the exclusive use of us, the guests."
Heiji frowned. He answered him because the man's initial tone had been relatively polite, otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.
"This is the bathroom, if you're not in a hurry you can hold it."
"You… I'll complain about you."
[Complain?]
Heiji smiled slightly and directly ignored that man who thought himself superior.
At that moment, an old man who looked like a successful businessman came running from the front, pushing aside the waiters who were in his way.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Heiji.
"Move aside!"
His large hand tried to grab the collar of Heiji's shirt, furious.
Heiji indifferently grabbed his hand, squeezed hard, and a crack was heard, the sound of the fracture was clear and crisp. Next, he threw him back, making him fall.
The surroundings fell silent!
Although this man's behavior had been very rude, he had only behaved that way with the waiters, he hadn't messed with the other guests. However, this person who looked like a waiter had injured him as soon as he acted.
[Hmph, injuring someone at the birthday party of the heiress of the Suzuki Group, you'll see what's coming to you.]
The man in the suit thought with schadenfreude.
Heiji didn't care, as if he were throwing out trash, with a carefree ease, he left.
"Activated special C-class mission: create the perfect accidental death of the Black Organization member, Pisco (Kenzo Masuyama). Mission time: one week."
[Pisco?]
Heiji stopped, turned around, and looked at the old man lying on the side, sweating coldly: "Are you Kenzo Masuyama?"
"Is it only now that you recognize Chairman Masuyama? Are you pretending it was unintentional?"
The people around whispered.
A look of understanding appeared in Heiji's eyes, it seemed it was this person.
