After traveling through Detective Conan, I became a popular person

Chapter 237 Conspiracy (2)

Before Hoshino Hitomi had time to react, she saw Chie Asai running away quickly around her.

Just as she was about to catch up with the other person, a tall man in a dark blue suit suddenly appeared and blocked her way. Looking up, she found that the man was Asai Yangquan.

Asai Yangquan has a handsome face, wears a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, and has short black hair styled back into a wolf-tail. He has a very elegant and refined temperament, and looks to be about 27 or 28 years old.

This series of sudden changes made her frown slightly.

"Is there a problem?"

Hoshino Hitomi recalled the particularly obvious bruises on Asai Chie's arm that she had accidentally noticed before. When she raised her eyes to look at the smiling Asai Yozumi, there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

It seems that this distant cousin of hers who looks well-dressed on the outside seems to have another face in private...

Asai Yangquan seemed not to notice the coldness in the other's eyes. He leaned over slightly, took the other's hand, and prepared to give a devout kiss on the back of her fair and delicate hand.

But before his thin lips touched the back of her hand, she ruthlessly pulled her hand back.

He lowered his eyes to look at the other person's cold and delicate face. His dark brown eyes dimmed slightly under his silver-rimmed glasses. Then he concealed the emotions in his eyes without leaving a trace, curved his eyes, raised his lips and smiled:

"Xiaotong, I am deeply honored and delighted that you can take out precious time from your busy schedule to visit our Carlton restaurant tonight."

Asai Yangquan then explained in a perfunctory manner: "But because I was delayed by some important matters just now, I was unable to greet you at the door in person. I am deeply sorry, and I hope you can forgive my negligence."

After all, Hoshino Hitomi has been in the business world for many years, and she can see at a glance the hypocrisy and vague ambition in the other party's eyes.

She smiled with an ambiguous tone, "Really? I hope you didn't hide anything on purpose, otherwise... I'm sure you know the consequences. I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you any more."

After saying that, she turned sideways and walked around Asai Yangquan, preparing to go look for Asai Chie.

Asai Yangquan silently looked back at Hoshino Hitomi who had already walked away. There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth that did not reach his eyes, and there was an indescribable obsession in his eyes.

After so many years, she has become much more beautiful, but also more arrogant.

When facing his cousin, she didn't even bother to call him brother, but he just liked her arrogant look.

However, he preferred to watch her, the flower of the highest mountain, fall from the altar.

Soon she would be ruined, and he would replace her as the president, and then force her to marry him, and enjoy watching her enjoying herself under him...

And Chie Asai is just a substitute who is not even as good as a hair of Hitomi Hoshino.

Hoshino Hitomi searched all three floors of the Carlton Restaurant but couldn't find Chie Asai. The only thing left to find was the toilet.

She checked the surveillance footage and saw that the other person had not left the restaurant. He had gone to the bathroom more than ten minutes ago and had not come out since. She couldn't help but frown.

Things really developed into her worst expectation...

The management staff in the monitoring room were so frightened when they saw Hoshino Hitomi's increasingly gloomy expression that they broke out in cold sweats and dared not move.

After a while, one of them stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Miss Hoshino...Excuse me, what happened?"

"Mrs. Asai is in danger. Call an ambulance to Carlton Restaurant right now. Remember to call the police as well."

After saying this simply, Hitomi Hoshino hurried to the toilet.

After a moment, Hoshino Hitomi looked at the locked toilet at the back and kicked it open without hesitation.

Sure enough, Chie Asai had already fainted while sitting on the toilet, her lips were slightly purple, and there was a needle hole on the back of her neck.

Just as Hoshino Hitomi reached out to check her breath, the waitress suddenly let out a shrill scream from behind her, and then collapsed to the ground in horror.

"what--"

The waitress's scream attracted the guests who were dining nearby, and Hoshino Hitomi could guess who was behind it without having to think.

But saving people is the most important thing now, and we have to settle Chie Asai first.

As for Asai Yozumi, the scum who took advantage of her wife's life, she would personally give him a good beating later.

Asai Yozumi and the Kudo family heard the waitress's scream and rushed over. What they saw next was Hoshino Hitomi walking out of the bathroom holding Asai Chie.

Seeing that Hoshino Hitomi was not in a coma due to the Chinese medicine, a trace of surprise flashed in Asai Yangquan's eyes, but then returned to normal in an instant.

He pretended to be very nervous, strode towards the two of them, and reached out to take Chie Asai from Hitomi Hoshino.

"Chie! What happened to her?!"

Hoshino Hitomi avoided Asai Yozumi without leaving a trace, and explained as she ran: "She was poisoned and unconscious. Her life is in danger now. Let's send her to the ambulance and go to the hospital for emergency treatment."

Seeing that he could not get close to Chie Asai and the second dose of deadly poison needle could not penetrate the other party's neck, Asai Yoquan became extremely anxious and grabbed Hoshino Hitomi's arm with force.

"I think we have a deep brother-sister relationship, but... why did you poison Qianhui?! Half an hour ago, the toilet was being cleaned, and a sign prohibiting entry was hung at the door. During this period, only you and the two men who accompanied you went to the toilet. I don't believe that you didn't authorize this!"

He said firmly: "I don't trust you as a criminal suspect. Return Qianhui to me!"

The whole audience was in an uproar when these words were spoken, but Hoshino Hitomi remained expressionless.

At this moment, Hoshino Hitomi saw that there seemed to be a silver needle coated with a deadly poison hidden in the sleeve of Asai Yoquan's suit, and she instantly understood the other party's true purpose.

Seeing that the opponent's hand was about to reach out to Chie Asai, Hoshino Hitomi mercilessly kicked the opponent's knee, directly kicking the opponent to his knees on the ground, and said coldly:

"Nonsense. Sister Qianhui's breathing is weak and her lips are purple. It is obvious that she fainted in the toilet ten minutes ago due to poisoning. I just arrived two minutes ago. How could she be poisoned? Where did she get the motive to kill?"

"How did the two men who were traveling with me get into the women's restroom? Why did they go into the women's restroom instead of the men's restroom? Are the staff you arranged just for show? If you really don't believe me, go check the surveillance. When you have solid evidence, come and argue with me."

She then smiled coldly and said, "What treasure do you have hidden in your sleeves? Why don't you let me take a look later?"

Upon hearing this, Asai Yangquan's pupils suddenly trembled and he subconsciously covered his sleeves.

Yusaku Kudo, who was standing by, noticed the other party's poor acting skills. His glasses reflected the light slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a look of understanding flashed across his eyes.

Kudo Yukiko was so anxious that she turned around and tugged at the sleeve of the man next to her, and asked in a low voice:

"Yusaku, can you help Xiaotong prove her innocence? Xiaotong is so kind-hearted, she would definitely not do such a thing as killing someone in public. Someone must have slandered her..."

Kudo Yusaku shook his head slowly and said meaningfully: "No. In my opinion... President Hoshino should want to solve this case personally. It is better for us not to interfere."

Then, Hoshino Hitomi glanced away indifferently, and the next second three bodyguards led by Akai Shuichi appeared in front of her.

"Miss, what can I do for you?"

Hoshino Hitomi handed Chie Asai to one of the bodyguards and instructed gently, "Send her to the door. The ambulance will be here soon. Don't let anyone except medical staff get close."

"Yes."

Asai Yoquan was kicked to the ground by Hoshino Hitomi just a second ago, and his face was almost distorted with pain. Then he stood up while enduring the severe pain, raised his leg and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Hoshino Hitomi the next second.

He said angrily, "What? As Chie's husband, I don't even have the right to be with her? President Hoshino is going too far!"

Hoshino Hitomi crossed her arms in front of her chest, glanced lazily at Akai Shuichi and another black-clad bodyguard beside her, and said calmly:

"You guys, tie him to a chair and plug his stinky mouth with a rag. He's so noisy."

The next second, Shuichi Akai took out a dirty rag from somewhere and stuffed it into the other person's mouth without mercy. Another bodyguard in black cooperated with him and held down Asai Yozumi who was still struggling.

"No no no!"

Asai Yangquan was almost disgusted by the dirty rag and vomited his overnight meal.

This bitch actually found the dirtiest rag from the kitchen!
