“Ding-ling——” The wind chime outside the door rang, and Yu Quan looked up.
“Miss Suzuki, and also Ran.” Yu Quan nodded with a smile towards the two.
“Ah? Mr. Yu Quan.” When she saw Yu Quan, Suzuki Sonoko became a little shy: “Mr. Yu Quan, you can just call me Sonoko.”
“Alright.” Yu Quan nodded without any objection: “Sonoko, you can just call me by my name, we’re about the same age.”
“You’re here today.......is there something else from Mr. Suzuki’s side?”
“No, no,” Suzuki Sonoko quickly waved her hand: “Actually, I came to you for a personal matter.”
“Personal matter?” Yu Quan was taken aback.
However, thinking that Suzuki Sonoko often encountered incidents, Yu Quan was quite looking forward to it.
“It’s just.......isn’t today Valentine’s Day?” Suzuki Sonoko said a little shyly: “Ran and I want to invite you to join our Valentine’s Day party!”
To embolden herself, Suzuki Sonoko directly “pulled Mori Ran into the water”!
Mori Ran couldn’t help but glare at Suzuki Sonoko, not daring to look at Yu Quan.
“Valentine’s Day party, huh——” Yu Quan drew out his tone, and under Suzuki Sonoko’s expectant gaze, nodded: “Alright, I’m free today.”
As everyone knows, there are many Valentine’s Days in the world of Conan, and.......each Valentine’s Day is at least one person’s death anniversary!
“That’s great!” Suzuki Sonoko was so happy she almost jumped up. “By the way, Yu Quan, where is your assistant?”
Suzuki Sonoko looked around: “If she’s here, we could all go together.”
“Ah, Shi Ya is a little busy these past couple of days.” Yu Quan shrugged slightly.
Miyano Akemi had been a human for over twenty years, and now that she was a yokai for the first time, there were many things she was unaccustomed to.
In order for Miyano Akemi to be able to walk outside smoothly, Yu Quan had kept Yu Shi Ya at home these past couple of days, teaching Miyano Akemi how to adapt to her new identity…
“Yu Quan gege? Ran jie jie, are you two going out?” Conan, who had just come back with his skateboard, looked curiously at Yu Quan and the others.
“Rude little brat.” Suzuki Sonoko glanced at Conan with disdain.
“Hehe.” Conan directly rolled his eyes.
“Humph, we’re going to do something that only adults can do.” Suzuki Sonoko proudly crossed her arms: “Nothing to do with you, little brat.”
“What kind of adult stuff?” Conan couldn’t help but sneer, Suzuki Sonoko herself wasn’t an adult yet!
“Conan, you stay home and wait for Dad to come back.” Mori Ran explained with a good temper.
“What party, I’m going too!” Conan jumped up subconsciously.
“Cut it out, we’re going to a Valentine’s Day party, what’s the point of bringing a little kid?” Suzuki Sonoko couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
“Conan, stay at home and wait for Dad to come back.” Mori Ran also disagreed.
Yu Quan just smiled and said nothing, not at all worried that he wouldn’t be able to collect souls because Conan wasn’t with them.
After all, the Grim Reaper would definitely follow!
……
When Yu Quan and the others arrived at the Kaisawa house, the sky outside was darkening, just when the sun was about to set.
Besides the three of them, the rest of the people at the party were all members of the Miwa University Tennis Club.
Among them, included Wakamatsu Toshitada who invited Mori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, the president of the tennis club, Kaisawa Katsuki, and the location of the party was at Kaisawa Katsuki’s home!
Besides these, there was also a boy named Jikido and two girls, Watanabe Yoshimi and Segawa Kaori!
As they introduced themselves to each other, Yu Quan’s gaze swept over these people, quickly locking onto Kaisawa Katsuki whose fortune was shrouded in darkness!
It must be said that the relationships among the people present were just......quite complicated.
Except for Wakamatsu Toshitada who lusted after Mori Ran’s beauty, the other members of the tennis club were in a love quadrangle!
Among them, Segawa Kaori, who seemed a little cold, harbored a secret love for Kaisawa Katsuki, while the slightly chubby Jikido, on the other hand, secretly harbored a love for Segawa Kaori!
But Kaisawa Katsuki and Watanabe Yoshimi secretly harbored a love for each other.......
However, Kaisawa Katsuki had a sharp tongue, and he would make all sorts of sarcastic remarks, whether to his friends or the people he liked.
It even made Yu Quan, Mori Ran, and Suzuki Sonoko watch a grand show.
“Mr. Kaisawa’s mouth is really.......he doesn’t spare anyone.” Suzuki Sonoko couldn’t help but gulp.
“This kind of person is easy to suffer misfortune.” Yu Quan said softly.
He’s not just going to suffer misfortune, in the world of Conan, if he offends so many people at once, who else would die?
“Ah?” Mori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko couldn’t help but exclaim.
Just at that moment, Kaisawa Katsuki’s aunt came over with tea and coffee.
Plus, Kaisawa Katsuki’s younger brother, Aijin, suddenly popped up from behind the sofa, easing the tense atmosphere.
“Everyone, have some snacks.” Mrs. Kaisawa smiled as she placed the snacks and coffee in front of Yu Quan and the others.
Looking at the coffee and cake in front of him, which had both poison and antidote, Yu Quan remained silent for a moment, this is.......so Conan!
Today’s scheduled victim, Kaisawa Katsuki, had done a pretty bad job of being a human. In the tennis club, there were only five people including himself, and two of them wanted to kill him.
One was Segawa Kaori, who loved Kaisawa Katsuki but couldn’t have him, so she wanted to poison Kaisawa Katsuki with chocolate and frame Watanabe Yoshimi.
The other was Jikido, who was angry because Kaisawa Katsuki wasn’t nice to his crush, Segawa Kaori, so he wanted to kill him with a cigarette.
And Kaisawa Katsuki was miserable because after dodging the poisoned chocolate and poisoned cigarette—
He was killed by his aunt, Mrs. Kaisawa, who wanted to kill him for financial reasons and even specially arranged for poisoned coffee and a cake with an antidote!
It must be said that Mrs. Kaisawa’s method was very covert, she both poisoned and gave an antidote......there was a bit of luck involved.
“Cut it out~” Kaisawa Katsuki leaned back on the sofa with a bored expression, and didn’t even bother to leave.
Instead, he naturally picked up his own cup of coffee and took a sip.
“Achoo——” A sneeze suddenly came from outside the window.
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the window, “Who is it?”
