Great Swordsman Ke Xue

Lan accompanied Shimizu Koji and Kisaki Eri back to the front desk of the hotel to check in, and Shimizu Koji also separated from Kisaki Eri and Xiaolan in the hotel lobby.

Because although it was late, it was only after seven o'clock in the evening, and it was far from time to rest. Xiaolan took Kisaki Eri to an unknown place, and Shimizu Koji went up to the third floor to his room to take a look. After recognizing the location, he left the hotel.

However, Shimizu Koji had nothing to do at this time, just simply strolling around. It happened that this area was also a large commercial district, and he also bought some gifts by the way to prepare for tomorrow.

When he passed by the coffee shop again, he could see from the window that Maori Kogoro and his group were still drinking inside, and Conan had a bitter face and looked like he had no desire to live.

Xiaolan did not take Kisaki Eri back, so Shimizu Koji was completely relieved, but when he really planned to buy a gift, he was a little embarrassed.

In the Chanel flagship store, Shimizu Koji stood in front of a pile of bags with a troubled look. He subconsciously walked into these luxury brand stores, but when he thought about it carefully, the Suzuki family, even Sonoko, didn't seem to be very interested in these things.

Of course, it's not that Sonoko and the others have gotten rid of the low tastes of humans, but such so-called luxury goods are almost as insignificant as daily necessities for ordinary families for the children of chaebols like them.

Bringing such a gift is indeed a bit inappropriate.

"Sir? Is there anything you need to know?"

"Ah, it's okay, you don't have to worry about me."

Shimizu Koji glanced at the enthusiastic and proactive teller, and rejected him without hesitation and sent him aside.

Under normal circumstances, although these luxury tellers are not so tasteless as to look down on others, they are not proactive and enthusiastic. This woman is just simply coveting his beauty.

Shimizu Koji gradually gained a pretty good understanding of his own charm.

He thought about it again, and finally took out his phone. Although this seemed a little inappropriate, in fact, Shimizu Koji and Suzuki Ayako had a good personal relationship. Because of Mingmei's previous incident, the two began to contact each other. When they were in Osaka, they were basically friends.

And then, occasionally during holidays or other things, the two often contacted each other through email addresses.

Shimizu Koji: [Miss Ayako, I wonder how you feel now? ]

Shimizu Koji originally thought that it might take a while to receive a reply, but unexpectedly, after less than five seconds, a ding sound came, and a text message came back.

Suzuki Ayako: [Hey, Koji-kun actually took the initiative to send me a message? Haha, is this caring about me? ]

Almost across the screen, it seems that Suzuki Ayako can see her smiling and teasing him with her mouth covered.

Shimizu Koji raised his eyebrows slightly, took a look at the situation in the store, and there were not many people, so he sat directly in the rest area of ​​the store and chatted with Suzuki Ayako on his phone.

Suzuki Ayako said this and it was obvious that she didn't treat him as an outsider. After all, even Sonoko might not know that her sister actually agreed to this marriage more for her and the Suzuki Group.

When Shimizu Koji first knew about it, he could understand Suzuki Ayako's decision, but now, as the relationship became more familiar, he couldn't help but talk more.

Shimizu Koji: [Speaking of which, before this, with your intelligence and thoughts, Ayako, you should have had other options, right? ]

Suzuki Ayako: [No, after I became an adult, people who proposed marriage had to break through my door. In addition to several other consortiums, there were even many sons of politicians' families who came to propose marriage. If there was really a choice, it was just to pick and choose among those people. ]

Shimizu Koji paused, typed another paragraph and sent it over, [But I still don't understand it. No matter how you look at it, Ayako should be more suitable to take over the Suzuki Group than Sonoko. Don't your uncle and aunt have any considerations in this regard? 】

Actually, Shimizu Koji wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but at that time they were not familiar with each other and had no trust at all.

After he sent this message, Suzuki Ayako, who replied quickly, finally fell silent. About two minutes passed, and before he received a reply, Shimizu Koji was a little suspicious whether he had said something wrong, but the next moment, his phone vibrated.

However, it was not a text message, but a phone call, and it was actually Xiaolan's call.

Shimizu Koji was a little surprised, but he still picked up the phone.

"Moshimoshi."

"Shimizu classmate, um, are you outside now?"

Xiaolan's voice sounded a little anxious, and Shimizu Koji's relaxed mood also changed. Could it be that something unexpected happened?

"What's wrong, Xiaolan? Is there a case?"

Conan and Maori Kogoro often film detective adventures on TV, so Shimizu Koji thought there was a case without hesitation.

Xiaolan on the other end of the phone was obviously choked by Shimizu Koji. After two or three seconds, she quickly replied: "No, no, there is no case. It's just that my father seems to be missing. Shimizu classmate, have you seen him?"

"Ah?" Even Shimizu Koji couldn't help but wonder.

Wasn't Maori Kogoro still drinking there just now?

Oh, unknowingly, he has been chatting with Suzuki Ayako for half an hour——

Xiaolan waited anxiously, and after Qingmizu Koji came to his senses, he also said directly: "Sorry, Xiaolan, I am not with your father, but I saw him drinking in the coffee shop half an hour ago, maybe He has returned to the hotel? Where are you now?"

"Uh, I, I'm just at the hotel. I'm with my mom and Conan. We're looking for my dad. So, I'm sorry-"

"I understand, wait a moment, I'll go back right away."

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, but when she came to her senses, Shimizu Koji had already hung up the phone.

She was about to apologize, but she didn't expect Koji Qingmizu to come directly to help. Xiaolan suddenly felt more favorable towards Koji Qingmizu. In fact, she had always thought that they were just ordinary friends. If she hadn't learned Sister, she may not even have the chance to interact with Koji Shimizu.

Of course, this kind of good feeling is just a good feeling between ordinary friends and is not mixed with anything else.

Xiaolan put away the phone and cast her eyes far away at little Conan who was walking in front, looking thoughtful.

As time goes by, more and more evidence is showing that Conan is probably the person she has been longing for and looking for.

But once she had this idea, Xiaolan felt that it was unreal. How could a person become smaller? Therefore, she often felt entangled and became more and more confused.

On the other side, after Koji Shimizu hung up the phone, he also found a reply from Ayako Suzuki.

Judging from the time when the letter was received, it actually didn't take long. It was sent almost right after Xiaolan called, and the content was not something like "I'm sorry, I have to take a shower."

[Have you ever heard of Koji-kun, the dark night star passed down from our Suzuki family’s ancestors? ——Actually, that black pearl is not an ordinary pearl, just like Hao Erjun, nor is it an ordinary ordinary person. The reason why I looked at you differently at the beginning was actually just because of you. In your aura, you feel the same thing as that dark night star.】

[That dark night star, for us at Suzuki, it not only represents luck, it is luck itself. Only those who are recognized by it are qualified to inherit Suzuki]

[It’s just a pity that I don’t have that luck. 】

[As for the gift you mentioned, it’s actually nothing. As long as you have this intention, Mr. Haoji. However, perhaps it should be said that you can come to my engagement banquet, which is a very precious gift in itself——Thank you. You gave me another chance to express my feelings~ 】
