Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: The clash between red and black

Pisco, real name Kenzo Masuyama, on the surface is the president of a car company, but in reality he is a veteran figure in the Black Organization. In the anime, because he left a very important clue when committing a murder, the BOSS of the Black Organization ordered Gin to kill him.

This was all Heiji knew about Pisco.

"It seems I'll need to find a time to gather information on him."

Heiji lowered his head, pensive, and without realizing it, he had already returned to his original location.

"Eh, they should have already gone in."

He set aside what was on his mind for the moment, tonight he would have a good feast.

The wind blew gently, and Heiji stood frozen on the spot: Where were Kazuha and the others?

At that moment, Kazuha and Ran were in Sonoko's room, amazed.

This was a true princess's room, with luxurious and high-end decoration, and all kinds of expensive furniture, which would probably cost the same as a normal villa.

"Wow, Sonoko, you look beautiful."

When Sonoko came out after changing her clothes, Kazuha and Ran were dazzled.

A long evening gown enveloped Sonoko's slender figure, the wrap-style dress fell over her body, revealing her round and white shoulders. Her slender and beautiful legs wore no stockings, and as she walked, a dazzling touch of whiteness was glimpsed.

At that moment, she possessed the unique purity and charm of a young woman.

"Do I really look pretty?"

Sonoko turned her body slightly, moving gracefully.

"Very pretty, I'm sure the handsome boys will fight to dance with you, Sonoko," Ran said with admiration.

"That's right, I don't know who will marry Sonoko in the future, I really envy him," Kazuha said mischievously.

"Don't joke, help me see which shoulder pad looks best."

Sonoko took out several styles of shoulder pads.

Ran furrowed her pretty eyebrows: "Sonoko, did this dress have shoulder pads before?" She remembered that it didn't have them before.

"Yes, I feel like they don't quite match," Kazuha also said.

Sonoko's face blushed, and she stammered without saying anything.

"Could it be that the boy Sonoko likes, just like Heiji, doesn't like his girlfriend to show too much?" Kazuha said in a joking tone.

This time, Sonoko's face turned even redder.

In the living room outside, Conan was sitting bored: Damn it, that Ran has left me here alone, surrounded by people I don't know, how boring!

"Little demon Conan, why are you here alone?"

Heiji entered and only saw Conan, not Kazuha and the others.

"Brother Heiji, how did you find this place?"

They hadn't told Hattori which villa they were in, how had he gotten here?

"Of course I found it myself."

Heiji didn't bother to talk to this mystery fanatic and king of jealousy, he sat directly on a nearby sofa, took a glass of red wine, and began to savor it slowly.

"Mrs. Suzuki, congratulations on your daughter's birthday."

"Thank you very much…"

Tomoko Suzuki was chatting with people from some business consortiums, and seeing Heiji sitting on the sofa, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Excuse me, please, continue. I'm going to attend to a special guest."

As the wife of the president of the Suzuki Group, every move of Tomoko Suzuki was observed. Seeing that she was approaching someone as if to greet them, she attracted everyone's attention, who wanted to see what important person it was.

"Heiji, since you've come, why don't you go look for Sonoko?"

Heiji was tasting the wine, and upon hearing Tomoko Suzuki's voice, he stood up elegantly: "The lady has worked hard."

As soon as he uttered this sentence, the luxurious hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Heiji with perplexity.

[The lady has worked hard?]

This sentence without head or tail left everyone confused.

[Hehe, this guy, Hattori, must have let it slip without thinking.]

Conan gloated on the side.

Tomoko Suzuki was also perplexed, but she felt great gratitude towards Heiji, and besides, her first impression had been very good, so she showed no displeasure: "Heiji, can you explain why you said that?"

A tone of inquiry!

The guests looked at Heiji in shock, all speculating about his identity.

"Although today is Sonoko's birthday, it is also the day of the lady's suffering, so allow me to first say 'you have worked hard'. This way, I won't feel so uncomfortable when I congratulate Sonoko."

Heiji spoke with elegance and sincerity.

When had Tomoko Suzuki heard such an explanation? Immediately, she smiled from ear to ear: "I didn't imagine that Heiji is not only a great detective, but also has first-class eloquence, no wonder Sonoko li… uh, likes to play with you so much."

Heiji smiled faintly.

"Sonoko is upstairs, go up and look for her."

"Thank you very much, ma'am."

Heiji walked towards the private, almost forbidden, territory under the envious gazes of everyone.

"Brother Heiji, wait for me!"

When Heiji went up to the second floor, Conan reacted, but it was already too late to catch up with him.

[Damn it!!!]

The second floor didn't have many paths, a single corridor reached the end, with rooms on both sides.

Heiji walked down the corridor, he didn't need to know in advance which was Sonoko's room, because the clear and sonorous laughter that kept being heard had already indicated it to him.

Knock, knock!!!

"Who is it? Is it not time yet?"

Sonoko's impatient voice came from the room.

"Food delivery," Heiji said with a mischievous smile.

"Ah, food delivery, leave it at the door and…"

Suddenly, the room fell silent, and then the sound of someone running was heard…

The door opened!

Kazuha threw herself into Heiji's arms with joy and dragged him into the room.

"Heiji, what do you think? Do I look pretty in this dress?"

Sonoko did a few turns in front of Heiji, elegant, noble, and full of grace.

Heiji's eyes lit up: "It seems Sonoko has a lot of potential to become a lady from a good family, not bad at all."

"Really? Thank you very much, Heiji." Sonoko felt happy, looked at the shoulder pads on the bed, and an idea occurred to her: "Since Heiji has come, I'll entrust you with a task, which of these shoulder pads looks best?"

Heiji looked at the shoulder pads, then at Sonoko's outfit, and he already had the answer.

"The clash between red and black is the most striking, since Sonoko is wearing a black dress, let it be the red shoulder pad."

"This one?"

Sonoko took the red shoulder pad. To tell the truth, of all of them, this was the one she liked the least, but since Heiji had chosen it, now she loved it.

When Sonoko put on the red shoulder pad, Kazuha and Ran couldn't help but let out a cry of admiration.

"Sonoko, compared to before, you have a touch more of charm, your beauty has become more fascinating," Kazuha said with envy.

"Heiji, I didn't imagine you had this ability, how incredible!" Ran looked at Heiji with admiration.

Heiji smiled with resignation: "Actually, it's just that I like red."

"Well, I've decided it will be this one. Now, to the important thing."

"The important thing?"

Kazuha and Ran looked at Sonoko with curiosity.

"Don't you want to see Heiji appear in front of everyone dressed in a gentleman's suit?" Sonoko said with enthusiasm.

Suddenly, two gazes were fixed on Heiji.
