Chapter 876 Meeting at the sorority party~
  As night falls, the cold wind outside is still biting, but inside this Western-style restaurant it is as warm as spring.

There are men and women sitting on the tables covered with red tablecloths. Young men and women wearing white waiter uniforms are walking around with smiles, serving delicious food to the guests.

"This restaurant is quite good." Ayako said with a smile after trying the chef's cooking skills.

"If you say it's good, then it seems pretty good."

Karasawa cut a piece of steak and said with a smile: "The main reason should be the freshness. Although the meat quality of this beef is not superior, it is better than freshness."

As a guy with a keen sense of smell, unlike Ayako, a rich lady, he does not rely on accumulated experience, but his nose.

This is why he always has very high requirements for restaurants.

He was originally a bit of a germaphobe, but after developing a super sense of smell, it was like having an extra "microscope", and he had higher requirements for cleanliness.

This is why he often goes to Yukihira's restaurant with Ayako. Needless to say, it's delicious, and cleanliness is also a big factor.

"Did we come a little early?" Ayako looked around, "Why haven't we seen Chiba and the others yet?"

"Should be here soon." Tangze looked at the time, then subconsciously turned his attention to the door after hearing the motive at the door.

But when he saw the people pushing in the door, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are they?"

"Ah, Xiaolan and the others are here too."

After Ayako heard Karasawa's words, she subconsciously turned to look at the door, and saw Mouri Kogoro walking towards the restaurant with Xiaolan and Conan.

The actions of the two people naturally attracted the attention of the three people opposite. Xiaolan also smiled and walked over quickly after seeing it, "Sister Ayako, Tang Ze Criminal, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you also chose this day to come. eat?"

"I didn't expect you to come back either." Tang Ze greeted the three of them with a smile, while being alert in his heart.

After all, he met the "classic combination" of Mouri Kogoro, Xiaolan and Conan at the dining place, so he couldn't help but be more cautious.

"I heard that you recommended this to Xianyi?" Ayako on the other hand didn't know what Karasawa was thinking. After seeing Xiaolan, she also smiled happily and said: "It tastes very good."

"As long as you like it, Sister Ayako." Xiaolan was very happy when she heard this. After all, it was a place she recommended. It is normal to be happy and popular.

"Then we won't disturb you two on your date."

Mouri Kogoro looked at the surrounding environment and said with a smile: "But this kind of place feels more suitable for young people like you, or for holding parties or something."

"Uh" Karasawa and Ayako looked at each other and laughed.

"Sister Ayako, why are you two laughing all of a sudden?" Conan saw that the two people who were suddenly laughing were confused and couldn't help but ask innocently.

"To be honest, the two of us came today not only to try the restaurant recommended by Xiaolan, but also to have something to do with the friendship." Ayako said with a smile.

"Eh? Friendship?" Xiaolan said in shock when she heard this: "What's going on?"

"On this point, let's let those two explain."

The cup that Karasawa raised shook towards the back of the crowd. When the grown-up Mouri Kogoro and the other three turned around, they found Chiba and Takagi walking towards them.
  "Isn't this Mr. Mori? Good evening." Chiba smiled and greeted everyone after seeing everyone: "I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet you here."

"Chiba Criminal~" Xiaolan smiled and said hello after seeing the person coming: "Even Takagi Criminal is here."

But unlike Chiba's generous appearance, after meeting Mouri Kogoro and the others, Officer Takagi has been hiding under Chiba's broad figure.

It's a pity that Xiaolan saw you and said hello without realizing it.

However, this greeting made Takagi's face turn green with panic, and he felt something was wrong in his heart.

It was already a shameful thing to come to the party, but what was even worse was that I actually met an acquaintance here.

Moreover, this acquaintance also has a very good relationship with Sato Miwako.

It’s really killing me! !
  Unfortunately, the more he hides, the more he attracts Conan's attention.

At this moment, he ran up to Takagi with the questions Ayako had mentioned before and asked curiously: "Takagi Criminal Justice, sister Ayako just asked you about the friendship, what is going on?"

"what!?"

Takagi was agitated when he heard Conan's childish voice. He was so panicked that he couldn't even speak clearly: "I, my that"

"Will you two grown men come here to eat?"

Mouri Kogoro had obviously seen through everything, with a teasing look on his face: "Just now, Miss Ayako said that they would come here to have something to do with the fellowship, aren't you here to participate in the fellowship?"

"Ah, that's right." Chiba smiled and said, "We are indeed here to participate in the party."

"Eh? Friendship?" Xiaolan asked quickly after hearing this: "What's going on? Does Sato Criminal know about this?"

Takagi looked at Xiaolan in panic, and found that the other person had a "scumbag" expression on his face, and even Conan, a child, looked the same, which made him even more panicked.

"That's not the case, I'm just someone Qianye brought here to round up the number of people!"

Takagi explained quickly, but no matter what he said, there was a hint of guilt in his words: "Qianye forced me to come here, and I can't refuse!"

After saying that, he quickly grabbed Qianye's shoulders and said repeatedly: "That's it, that's it, right!?"

"Eh"

Chiba looked at Takagi's panic and nodded repeatedly, but secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

After all, the other party's panicked look made it sound like a lie even if what he said was true.

"So please, don't tell Sato Criminal about this matter." Takagi begged, looking at Xiaolan and Conan humbly.

"Okay, calm down, you really are becoming fake now."

Tang Ze smiled and helped Takagi to the rescue: "Actually, Chiba also called me. Look, I'm here too."

Then Karasawa explained the matter clearly, including the reason why Ayako was here.

"So Tangze Criminal is more like a guest at this party."

Xiaolan nodded clearly after listening to Tang Ze's explanation, but then she changed her voice and said: "But under the same circumstances, Tang Ze Criminal told Sister Ayako, and even brought Sister Ayako with him, and Takagi For criminal matters, you secretly came here by yourself."

As the saying goes, people are afraid of comparisons. It would be okay to face this situation alone, but with Tang Ze's "beauty first", Takagi's approach was disliked by Xiaolan and Conan.

"That's different"

Seeing the disgusted expressions on their faces, Takagi smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not a celebrity like Karasawa Criminal, I was originally pulled over by Chiba to make up the number.

Wouldn't it be weird if you brought your girlfriend to the party?"

"That's true." Conan nodded, but still warned: "But Takagi Criminal, you can also explain the situation to Sato Criminal."

"Conan is right." Xiaolan echoed after hearing the words: "Only two people can live together for a long time if they are honest. Look, even a kid like Conan understands the truth. Takagi Criminal, you should learn more! "

'He is no ordinary child...'

Because of his many contacts with Conan, even though Takagi didn't know his true identity, he felt that Conan's mental maturity was different from that of ordinary children.

Of course, the current situation is stronger than others, so he can only laugh honestly.

"Mr. Mori, why don't we come together?"

Chiba saw that Takagi was embarrassed by being "criticized" and quickly spoke up to help change the subject: "If you and Karasawa are here, today's social gathering will be a great success!"

"Wait..." Xiaolan had an ulterior motive. She couldn't help but lie after hearing Qianye's words.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Seeing his daughter's flustered expression, Kogoro Mouri felt a little coy and said suspiciously, "I'm just going to have a meal. I'm not asking you to participate in a social gathering. Why are you panicking?"

"this and that…"

Xiaolan looked at her father who looked suspicious and became panicked for a moment. She said coyly: "Actually...I even called my mother..."

"Tch, no wonder."

When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he immediately blushed: "I asked you why you suddenly said with great interest that you were going to a new and very good Western restaurant."

"What's the matter!" Xiaolan said dissatisfiedly: "I can't even have a meal with my mother even if I want to?"

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro did not dare to say anything more. Although he still had a bad face, he no longer complained.

Obviously, Mouri Kogoro still lacks something in this regard.

But unfortunately, just when Qianye and others were about to say goodbye, Xiaolan suddenly received a call from Fei Miles, saying that she had to work again today and could no longer go.

This made Xiaolan very disappointed. Finally, with the comfort of Ayako, she followed Karasawa and others to the side hall where the party was held.

When I arrived at the lobby of the club, I found that a lot of people had gathered here, and some tables were already drunk.

"You're so late, Chiba."

Just after everyone sat down, a man with blond hair came over and said hello: "The ladies have already arrived, and they are all starting to make a fuss."

"Sorry, let me introduce you. This is my good friend from middle school, Emoto Masashi." Chiba first introduced his friend.

Compared with Chiba, the temperament of the two is completely different.

He has blond hair, and although his face is dark, his facial features are good, and he looks a bit handsome.

He and Qianba, a criminal with a good face, are completely different people.

According to Chiba's introduction, the other party is the "mastermind" of this friendship, that is, the initiator.

After that, Chiba introduced Karasawa and Mouri Kogoro to each other.

"I didn't expect to be able to meet the "Famous Detective" and "The Famous Criminal". It's such an honor."

Emoto Masashi smiled and rubbed Chiba's belly: "When he said he knew Mr. Karasawa, I thought he was bragging."

When he heard the other party call him teacher, Tang Ze knew that the other party was his fan. When the other party took out a copy of "Malevolence" and asked Tang Ze to help him sign it, he was not surprised. He took out a pen from his pocket. Signed the other party's name.

After all, Tang Ze had anticipated this situation from here, so he prepared a pen for signing.

"You guy, you still have such a bad mouth." Chiba on the side rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Can I still lie to you?"

"The main thing is that I didn't expect you to really become a criminal."

Speaking of this, Emoto Shoshi rubbed Chiba's belly with a rippling smile: "Among the girls who came today, there are two who are super on point."

"Really!?" Chiba and Takagi's faces instantly turned red when they heard this, looking expectant.

Seeing Takagi's rippling look, Xiaolan and Conan instantly showed expressions of disgust, and their synchronized cold snorts instantly made Takagi's expression stagnant.

He realized that he was a little carried away, and after seeing the look in their eyes, he felt that he might not be able to explain it clearly.

"Is that so? It's really, really great, Chiba!" Takagi quickly restrained his expression and looked like he was thinking about Chiba, hoping to remove the "suspect".

"Could it be that one of them is the sister you said would come today?" Chiba asked curiously after hearing what his friend said.

"Not at all."

Emoto Shoshi touched his chin and thought for a while, "One of them is a friend that my sister has known for a long time, and then I heard that the other one is that person's friend."

Speaking of this, Emoto Shoshi smiled and said: "I think you have a high chance of succeeding this time~"

"Oh? How do you say this?" Chiba's expression perked up after hearing his friend's words, wanting to know why the other party said that.

"Because the two of them are engaged in police work just like you." Masashi Emoto said with a smile: "You are also criminals, so you must have a lot in common."

"and many more!!"

Chiba and Takagi's expressions instantly froze after hearing Emoto Masashi's words, and their tone became difficult: "Police...work..."

"Yeah, you might even know those two mini-skirted criminal ladies." Masashi Emoto didn't notice the unhappy expressions on their faces, and continued to smile to himself.

"mini skirt?"

After hearing this, Takagi and the two became a little suspicious: "Is what you are talking about really a criminal offense? We are not allowed to wear such clothes in our daily work."

"Just because I can't wear it when I'm on duty, I have to wear something nice in private~~"

At this moment, a drunken and familiar female voice came from behind the two of them, and they were instantly frightened and turned around: "Y-Yumi!!"

"Oh ho~ It's Brother Takagi and Chiba~~ What are you two doing here~~"

When Karasawa and others looked over, they saw Yumi, who was blushing and shaking drunkenly beside them, looking completely drunk.

"What, you really know each other." Emoto Shoshi couldn't help but smile after hearing what the two said: "What a coincidence."

But Chiba and Takagi didn't think it was a coincidence at all. After all, they still remembered Emoto Masashi saying that the other party came with two people, and the other one was a good friend of the other party.

And since Miyamoto Yumi is here, it is self-evident who the other person is...
