Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

Although Sijing Lihua has a bit of a temper, for the people present, isn't this a way to improve their favorability? After all, if they can find her in advance, she might even look at them with a higher opinion of them.

"Then I'll go upstairs and look for it first!" The suitor who first proposed the possibility jumped up like a spring and walked quickly upstairs.

The other suitors hesitated for a moment, then came to their senses and rushed over shouting, "Wait for me," "I'll catch up soon," "Don't snatch it from me," and so on.

After all the suitors had left, Matsumoto Akira turned around and looked at the people around him.

Except for Busujima Yazi, the others all stared at their departing backs with dull eyes.

"Is this how they get along in their daily lives? These suitors are really having a hard time!" Suzuki Sonoko shook her head and sighed.

This group of suitors seem to have long been accustomed to this way of getting along with each other, which is really puzzling!

To be honest, although the relationship between the two parties is at a disadvantage, as long as there is no complete breakup, the Shijing Group will not easily sever the cooperative relationship.

Even if you have to cut off some ties, finding new suppliers or partners will take some time.

"Maybe they enjoy it too?" Matsumoto Akira guessed.

He just said it casually, but unexpectedly, the people around him fell into deep thought.

"Maybe some of them enjoy it, but not everyone does. We can only say that their ambitions are bigger than those of ordinary people!" Dudao Yazi was silent for a long time and finally spoke.

In her opinion, the driving force behind this group of people is most likely the Shioi Group itself. After all, Shioi Rika herself has shown that she is not good at using her brain, or at least does not want to use her brain.

It seems that Yoshii Rika has no interest in personally managing the future Yoshii Group. So, who will be the real controller of the Yoshii Group a hundred years after the death of the Yoshii Chairman? The answer is obvious.

Matsumoto Akira's face turned serious and he turned to look in the direction where everyone was leaving.

If I remember correctly, Shijing Lihua should be in a bathroom at this time, right?

Matsumoto Akira called Jerry over and whispered something to him. Jerry nodded and quickly left through the path.

About ten minutes later, the group of suitors who had left earlier swarmed back.

At this moment, their faces were extremely serious, because after some investigation, they finally confirmed that -

Miss Shijing Lihua did not play any hide-and-seek or missing games with them. She really disappeared without a trace.

"Could it be that the young lady secretly ran out? I remember there seemed to be a back door here—" Yizhi Long began to fan the flames, trying to incite everyone present.

The suitors did not become suspicious and immediately discussed going out to look for her.

After all, this place is quite a distance from the town below, and it is too dangerous to run out alone.

If it were any other young lady, they would never believe such a thing, but if it was Shijing Lihua, it would be a different story, because she could really do such a thing.

"Let's spread out and look for him first. Don't go too far and shout as loudly as possible!" Seeing that everyone agreed to go out and look, Yizhi Long immediately gave orders.

Several suitors nodded in agreement, picked up the flashlights in the villa, and immediately walked outside.

"Um? Aren't we going to help look for it?"

Suzuki Sonoko felt a little guilty. After all, it seemed a little inappropriate to stay in someone else's house and fail to help when the owner went missing.

"It's not completely dark outside yet, but they all have flashlights. It won't be long before it gets dark. It would be futile for us to go out without flashlights!"

Matsumoto Akira looked at the sky outside the window and shook his head. Regardless of whether they needed to go out, Miss Shii Reika was not outside at all.

Even if he wanted to go out, it was getting dark and there seemed to be no extra flashlights in the villa. Matsumoto Akira didn't want to go out and join in the fun with the light from his cell phone.

"And after all - among our group, except for a serious high school boy like me, none of you is suitable to go out alone to look for someone!"

This is not to say that there is any problem with their abilities, it is simply because they are either children or underage women, and are not suitable to go out and seek excitement.

Conan originally wanted to say something, but after being reminded by Matsumoto Akira, he looked at the girls around him and the childish appearance of himself and Haibara Ai, and shut his mouth.

Many adult men had already gone out to search, so there was really no need for these girls and children to follow them.

It was drizzling outside, which made everyone more determined not to go out.

"Normally, even if she ran away in anger, in rainy weather like this, the delicate young lady should come back, right?"

As Matsumoto Akira was analyzing, he looked out the window, but he happened to see two figures struggling in the fountain outside through the window.

Matsumoto Akira: “…”

The people around Matsumoto Akira: "......"

Conan rushed out like an arrow. This was an old habit of his, the kind that he could not change. When he saw a crime, he would rush over to solve the problem.

Ran Mao Li wanted to catch Conan but failed. Conan's figure was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, running forward at lightning speed.

It took Conan very little time to rush out of the living room, turn a corner and reach the front door. However, even at this speed, he was still a step late.

The black shadow easily defeated the other figure in the fight, and even when he noticed Conan was chasing him, he did not run away immediately.

Instead, he used all his strength to press the other person into the fountain. When the other figure completely stopped struggling and took his last breath, the black shadow turned around and quickly ran into the jungle.

Seeing that the other party was about to escape, Conan made a quick decision and kicked the small stone next to him.

The flying pebbles were like precision-guided missiles, hitting the fleeing black shadow accurately.

The black shadow was startled and staggered a few steps before hurriedly running into the jungle. After entering the forest outside the villa, it completely disappeared.

Conan originally wanted to chase after him, but at this time he had completely lost sight of the other person. In addition, he suddenly remembered the figure who had just been pushed into the fountain, so he immediately turned around and returned to the fountain.

Xiaolan and Suzuki Sonoko were stopped by Matsumoto Akira and did not follow out to check what was going on.

As for Busujima Yako, Matsumoto Akira did not have any requirements for her.

Instead, Busujima Yako nodded very gently, as if she was worried about disturbing Matsumoto Akira from doing his work, so she didn't follow him out.
