Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 253: Melodi Family Birthday Party (Part 3)

Because he was worried that the birthday party held by the Melody family might be full of dangers, Conan ran to Fumanlou to seek help from the Susan brothers.

Conan had been to the inner box where Oritis and her group gathered several times, so this time he ran into the room with ease. Several people in the room were gathering to discuss the birthday party.

"What? Jose didn't even receive an invitation? What a shame! Has the Baden family been expelled from the nobility?"

"Let me see this, Mr. Sterling? It's unscientific. Richard, your family doesn't seem to be a well-known noble family."

"Richard couldn't have been invited because of his performance at the Golden Rose Theatre."

"Our model couple was invited too? But why is it Mr. and Mrs. Godwin on the invitation?"

Conan looked at the somewhat chaotic scene before him, a drop of cold sweat sliding down his forehead: "What's going on with this situation that's as noisy as a tea party?"

The fire investigator in the crowd noticed Conan at the door: "Oh, isn't this Conan? I heard that Mr. Maori also received an invitation. This way you will have the opportunity to get close to the Melodi family~"

Conan was obviously not happy. After all, there was an opportunity, but letting Xiaolan go to that dangerous birthday party? This was not good. What if, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, Xiaolan was kidnapped by the Melody family? What would happen then?

Conan shook his head violently, trying to kick this terrible idea out of his mind.

The knight sat at the table, his hands on it. "I think our little detective is worried about his girlfriend. After all, Melody is not a man who will show any sympathy to women."

[Bartender: No mercy, referring to the first round of mirroring with five hits, double hanging, picking up one corpse in a straight line after the mirroring ends, and then flashing away the second one.]

[Photographer: I'm ashamed, but if we face a lineup with a lot of OBs, I might not be able to win easily.]

[Spellcaster: Mr. Joseph is still too overpowered, so let's weaken Jack.]

[Jack: Tonic! Tonic! If I'm any weaker, I can only move left, up, right, and down!]

[Knight: Patricia is right. Mr. Jack can actually perform normal attacks, and his base movement speed is the fastest among all the supervisors. It's really too good. I suggest removing the normal attack button.]

[Jack: (vomits blood and faints)]

[Perfumer: Stop lying on the ground, Mr. Jack. We're just teasing you.]

[Jack: Really? (Looks up)]

[Antique Dealer: Your mist blade missed, you moved to connect, you placed a ward and encountered an adventurer, you opened a door with four people and fought, and then the other four ran away. (Ancient God whispers)]

[Jack: Ugh! (Falls to the ground again)]

[Acrobat: This Jack is so inflexible. He knocked the invisible wolf away with one glance.]

[Savage: Seconded.]

[Dancer: I second that.]

[Crying Clown: Then I too...]

[Professor: Stop it. We're colleagues after all. Don't make it too difficult to resolve. (Laughs)]

[Nightmare: You, Lao Jie, at least have dual blades, speed, new costumes, and popularity. What do I have?]

[Fool's Gold: has a middle finger.]

[Entomologist: That’s absolutely right.]

[Composer: Hah.]

[Nightmare: Aaaaaah! (Fainting with anger)]

Conan didn't know what Oritis and the others had just talked about in their minds. He just felt that everyone present had a strange smile on their faces, which was quite scary.

Then Conan did not forget to refute the knight: "Xiaolan and I are just very, very good friends, not a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship!"

"Oh my, you've been living together for so long, and you still say such things. If you continue like this, you will be regarded as a scumbag." The fire investigator grinned.

Conan's brain suddenly shut down, and his mind was echoing the words of the fire investigator just now: "Xiaolan will think he is a scumbag~"

Conan shook his head violently: "No, no, no, I will find a suitable opportunity to confess everything to Xiaolan, but not now."

"Okay, whatever you want. Will you be crushed or flattened by karate?"

Thinking of Xiaolan's methods, Conan shuddered again.

"Okay, everyone, shouldn't we discuss the Hongmen Banquet hosted by the Melodi family now?" The antique merchant used his mechanical flute to poke the floor to remind everyone.

The Air Force nodded: "Well, let's get back to the topic."

Ms. Farrow flipped through the knight's invitation letter. "The invitees are Richard, Ada, Emil, Mr. Xie, and Mr. Fan, right?"

"It's really strange that the Baden family, as an old noble family, did not receive an invitation, but several emerging noble families were invited." Fool Gold played with the raw ore in his hand and complained nonchalantly.

"Emerging nobles?" Conan was a little curious about the classification of nobles by the Oritis organization.

"Oh, it's normal that you don't know this. After all, few people talk about the concept of nobility these days."

"It seems that many of the earliest members of Oritis had titles, right, Viscount Baden?"

The first mate's face darkened. "Don't tell me that. My title was taken away from me a long time ago."

Fool's Gold tapped his stone head. "Who else are they? Oh, right, Count Baril. That old fellow has finally ascended to heaven. Old Deng, who was just sitting in his job and doing nothing, and who was sitting in the mines watching the people at the bottom struggle, has a successor."

"Lily Baril? That girl seems to be only sixteen years old, too young and inexperienced. Has she been invited?" The first mate frowned.

Xie Bian took out his folding fan and said, "From the information I've gathered, that child is indeed among those invited. It seems we need to take better care of her."

Conan was shocked. He knew that the cheerleader was still in high school. If she was plotted against by the Melodi family, the wealth of the Baril family would most likely be swallowed up by the Melodi family.

Although he couldn't figure out the intricacies between the so-called nobles, these people were essentially not much different from large groups such as consortiums and societies. If he put himself in their shoes, he would understand what the Melodi family was planning behind the scenes.

"Could it be that the purpose of the Melodi family holding the banquet is to reap wealth?" Conan expressed his guess.

"How is that possible? Do we have to call all the celebrities over in a grand manner to reap the wealth? Besides, there are a few people here whom the Melody family cannot touch." Ms. Farrow shook her head and denied this statement.

"Well, Mr. Xie and Mr. Fan were invited as heirs of the Dongfang family, Mr. Richard was invited as heir of the Sterling family, and the 'Godwin couple' were invited as well-known psychologists?" Conan flipped through the several invitations here.

"The name 'Mr. and Mrs. Godwin' was the fake identity Emil and I used when we were practicing medicine in Europe. I didn't expect that it would be exposed by Melody." The psychologist snorted in dissatisfaction.

The patient came to the psychologist and said, "Ada, let's not go there, please. It's so dangerous..."

"Emile, we have to go. This is for your safety and everyone's safety. You will protect me, right~" The psychologist gently held the patient's face.

"I listen to Ada. Ada protects everyone, and I protect Ada~"

Everyone looked at this scene of showing off their affection and looked away at the same time.
