In the hotel's banquet hall, there are hundreds of round tables covered with pure white tablecloths. The tables are neatly placed with high-end European tableware and silver cutlery of various sizes. There are also various colors and shapes in the middle of the table.

Lovely flower arrangement.

"Wow--"

Seeing this luxurious atmosphere, Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh.

"What a beautiful chandelier, shining like the sun..."

Seeing the huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling emitting dazzling light, even Xiao Ai couldn't help but sigh.

After looking around, Dr. Ali couldn't help but said:

"The TV station staff have already entered the scene."

At this time, in the banquet hall, many sweaty staff were debugging the cameras and connecting long wires to various mechanical equipment. They were very busy.

"At first glance, the TV station's staff seems to be about fifty people... Although this is a nationally broadcast program, it is not surprising to have such a lineup, but it will be easy for prisoners to get mixed in..."

Conan murmured quietly while looking at each staff member one by one, as if he wanted to confirm them.

"But I really can't figure it out."

Yuanzi said to Xiaolan who was admiring the luxurious venue.

"Hey, what don't you understand?"

Xiaolan asked in confusion.

"Xiaolan, you clearly invited Mr. Mingzhi to accept the commission, why did you agree to be your bodyguard?"

Yuanzi asked strangely.

Gao Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, and said curiously:

"Miss Xiaolan? Do you also want to serve as Miss Shou Hualian's bodyguard?"

In response, Xiaolan smiled helplessly, while Conan helped explain:

"Because of the situation at that time, if Sister Xiaolan didn't agree directly, Uncle Maori would still insist on protecting the beauty even if he suffered a fracture. As for Brother Mingzhi, after Sister Xiaolan came to his senses, he remembered that he could ask Mingzhi

Brother, but at that time, Sister Xiaolan had already promised them."

"Ahaha... It really looks like Uncle Maori's style. However, it will only make the injury more serious, so Xiaolan just accepted it."

Yuanzi immediately said with understanding.

"Actually, Sister Xiaolan knocked down the organizer of the third-dan judo competition in the detective agency, so he asked her to do it. Right, Sister Xiaolan?"

Conan said with a smile.

"The organizer of the competition is Mr. Miura?"

Yuanzi said with wide eyes.

"Well, well..."

Xiaolan, who felt a little embarrassed, responded vaguely.

"Ah, I really want to see that scene. I heard that the perverted uncle took advantage of his status as the organizer of the competition and the chairman of the competition review committee to attack the girls participating in the competition."

Yuanzi said this and couldn't help laughing happily.

"Oh, I see."

Conan echoed, and at the same time couldn't help but nodded, fully agreeing with the judgment that Mr. Miura was a pervert uncle.

"But why does even Xiaolan want to participate in this competition?"

Yuanzi asked again.

Regarding this, both Gao Yuan and Dr. A Li felt a little incredible.

"I originally refused, but the organizer, Mr. Miura, said that if I could participate in the competition, I could stay with Miss Hualien to protect her even in the lounge..."

"It does make sense..."

After listening to Xiaolan's words, Gao Yuan couldn't help but nodded and said:

"If someone who is also a contestant acts as a bodyguard, it will really be a cover-up."

In this regard, Xiaolan also continued:

"There happened to be a Miss Rose who was not feeling well, so I took her place in the competition."

"Miss Rose? She matches well with Xiaolan."

Yuanzi couldn't help but laugh.

"There is no such thing. Does it really matter if someone like me is allowed to stand on the stage..."

Xiaolan looked around the vast banquet hall again and said with some anxiety.

"Indeed, it's just like the stage of a concert hall."

Looking at the huge stage in the venue, even Dr. Ali showed a nervous expression.

"If it's Xiaolan, maybe she will win unexpectedly... It doesn't matter, don't worry, I will tell you all about the judging process of the competition."

Yuanzi happily patted Xiaolan on the shoulder and encouraged her.

"Thank you, Sonoko."

Xiaolan couldn't help but express her gratitude for receiving such encouragement.

"This kind of competition is actually not that troublesome. It's just walking back and forth on the stage in a dress. As for the talent show, if Xiaolan puts on a karate pose, everyone will be surprised. But... her walking posture is not practiced.

It won’t be good for a while. However, your motor nerves are so good, if you only need to see it once, you will be able to remember it immediately."

Yuanzi couldn't help but say.

"Can I... really do it?"

Listening to Yuanzi's narration, Xiaolan lowered her head and said somewhat unconfidently.

"Okay, I'll remember it after reading it once."

Yuanzi responded somewhat proudly.

"Hey, you too...?"

This time, even Conan was surprised by Sonoko's words and couldn't help but blurt it out.

In response, Yuanzi smiled and explained:

"Of course! I will participate in this competition as 'Miss Suzuki Foundation'."

"Eh? Isn't that just taking advantage of the privileges of the hotel owner's daughter?"

Conan put on an expression that said he couldn't bear it, and said helplessly.

"How verbose! What do you know, little brat!"

Yuanzi glared at Conan fiercely and said angrily:

"Although I had been undecided until just now, I made up my mind after listening to Xiaolan's words."

"Can't decide?"

Gao Yuan asked curiously.

"Well, because this hotel is named after me, my father asked me to participate. However, I am a bit resistant to being used as his promotional prop. However, I cannot give Xiaolan the target of receiving threatening letters.

Deal with it alone."

Yuanzi said firmly.

"I'm glad you think so, Sonoko...but this is no joke."

Xiaolan looked at Yuanzi seriously.

"I know. Xiaolan wants to protect that Miss Hualian, but I will protect you."

Yuanzi said seriously:

"After all, even Mr. Mingzhi cannot protect Miss Hualian all the time. If Mr. Mingzhi cannot arrive immediately when something happens, then I will have to protect you!"

As he spoke, Yuanzi sighed and shook his head, and couldn't help but said with a smile:

"Originally, I shouldn't be the one to do this kind of thing. But your husband Shinichi is a mysterious person who doesn't know where he is now, so as a good friend, let me protect you."

"Garden, garden..."

Seeing Yuanzi's serious expression, Xiaolan couldn't help but be moved to tears.

In response, Dr. Ali, who heard the conversation next to him, quietly pulled Conan to a corner of the auditorium, while Xiao Ai couldn't help but smile lightly and followed him.

"What are you doing..."

Conan looked at the two of them in surprise and couldn't help but ask.

"Is this okay? Not even making a phone call?"
