As the elevator door opened, everyone entered the twentieth floor, and then Yuanzi led everyone to a room with an open door not far away.

Looking into the room, you can see three dressing tables lined up side by side with eyeliner, lipstick, mascara and other cosmetics, stacked randomly as if they were poured out of boxes.

Then, before entering the room, Gao Yuan could not help but cover his nose with his hand, but did not say anything——

"Well, the smell of perfume is so strong..."

Smelling the strong perfume coming from the room, Conan couldn't help but frown.

In this regard, just when a group of people hesitated to go in, the sound of quarreling came from inside——

"If you don't want to, just get out!"

Everyone looked around and saw a young woman wearing a headband, scolding a long-haired girl who was crying at her feet.

Everyone was shocked by this scene.

"Hua Lian, you don't have to say such outrageous things to Chengxiang!"

Kawada Kagami, a young woman with short hair who was being leaned on by the crying woman Sumika Abe, couldn't help but retorted.

"Now that things are happening, you are still saying that you are afraid and don't want to compete... the naive woman who doesn't want to do it, she might as well get out of here as soon as possible."

Shou Hualian, wearing a headband and a proud face, still said forcefully.

"However, this competition gathers the winners of various beauty pageants. It is understandable that a timid person like Sumika suddenly doesn't want to participate. Even I will..."

Kawada Kagami hugged the crying Abe Sumika, and her rebuttal voice became softer and quieter.

"Indeed... if you fail in this competition, all the hard work accumulated so far will be in vain... The girls who come to participate in this competition will be a little scared..."

Abe Sumika said while sobbing.

"All the efforts accumulated so far have been in vain? Isn't it natural? Because there can only be one queen."

Hearing Hualien say so confidently, Chengxiang and Jingmei were speechless.

"Don't you even have this awareness? That's why you are suddenly afraid of losing. Even if all the contestants lose, even if they become worthless stones, they have to grit their teeth and smile and bless the winners. This is how to walk into this

This is a rule that women in this world must accept! People who do not have this kind of consciousness are not qualified to stand in front of the judges, and they are not sorry to the audience who came to watch. If you want to be depressed, just go home and be depressed!"

Shou Hualian pointed at the door and said as if she was chasing away a dog.

"You think you can definitely win, right?"

Chengxiang looked at her with tears in her eyes and said angrily.

"Of course. At least you are destined to be losers."

Shou Hualian smiled proudly.

"How stupid of me to come to discuss your troubles with you!"

"Wait, wait a minute, Sumika!"

Being scolded so fiercely by Hualien, Chengxiang ran out of the room crying, and Jingmei also hurriedly chased after her and left.

"It's amazing..."

"Well, well..."

Seeing the two people running past crying, Yuanzi and Xiaolan couldn't help but swallow their saliva and felt a little guilty.

"What are you talking about? This is not an all-girls high school where everyone needs to be united and friendly!"

At this time, a disdainful voice came from behind Xiaolan and others.

Xiaolan turned around in surprise and saw Shou Hualian's mother Shou Meiling and her sister Shou Meimei standing behind everyone.

"Ms. Shou..."

To this, Xiaolan couldn't help but say hello.

"Miss Maori, I'm so glad you can come."

Shou Meimei couldn't help but responded. In response, Xiaolan also nodded to indicate to the other party.

"The two people just now participated in a regional beauty pageant with Hualian, so they came to complain about Hualian as their friends. How stupid!"

Looking at the two people running deep into the corridor, Shou Meiling couldn't help but said with a bit of laughter and tears, her expression slightly disgusted.

When Xiaolan and Yuanzi, who were about to take part in the competition, heard what the other party said, their expressions became a little flinching.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised?"

Looking at the expressions of the two people, Shou Meiling couldn't help but say.

"Well, a little bit."

After listening to Shou Meiling's words, Xiaolan nodded somewhat at a loss.

"He actually came to discuss with his competitors. For girls like this who do things without thinking, it would be good for them to say something too harsh."

Shou Meiling said seriously.

"Sure enough, the world of beauty pageants is really cruel..."

Saying this, Xiaolan felt even more worried about her participation in this beauty pageant.

"Of course! After all, your life may be at stake! Speaking of which, who are these?"

Mei Ling turned her stern eyes to Gao Yuan and others behind Xiao Lan.

"They are friends who come to cheer me on."

Xiaolan started introducing Sonoko next to her, and when she was about to explain in detail, Shou Meiling looked at Suzuki Sonoko who was standing next to Xiaolan, and couldn't help but change her eyes——

"Oh, aren't you from the Suzuki Consortium...?"

Slightly surprised, Shou Meiling stepped forward and asked.

"Well, I'm Sonoko Suzuki."

Yuanzi smiled and responded politely.

"That's right! Miss Sonoko is so beautiful, she will definitely get good results. Everyone should cheer for her!"

Shou Meiling, who had a different look, said this to everyone as if she was a familiar face.

"Yes Yes……"

Probably attracted by such momentum, Dr. Ali and Conan couldn't help but nodded. Gao Yuan smiled politely and nodded slightly, while Xiao Ai beside him had an indifferent expression and nodded in response with his eyes closed.

At this time, Xiaolan saw that there were no outsiders around, so she took the opportunity to introduce Gao Yuan to Shou Meiling——

"Well, Ms. Shou, this is the wise detective I just mentioned to you. He also agreed to help protect Miss Hualian today."

"Oh, really?"

After listening to Xiaolan's words, Shou Meiling looked Gao Yuan up and down, feeling that he was too young and not famous, so he simply responded, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he said:

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce Hualian to everyone."

After saying that, Shou Meiling welcomed everyone into the special suite.

In response to this, Xiao Ai, who was walking at the back of the crowd, looked a little unhappy and murmured to Gao Yuan in a low voice——

"What...you are obviously here to protect her daughter, why are you having such an attitude!"

"After all, compared to Xiaolan, I really can't protect myself..."

Gao Yuan responded with a wry smile, speaking in a voice that only Xiao Ai could hear.

"snort……"

Xiao Ai snorted lightly, then smiled in a slightly meaningful tone:

"Have you forgotten what happened at the last beauty pageant? We don't want to be accidentally injured by a woman before the investigation of the case begins today!"

"How could I be so unlucky!"

Gao Yuan said helplessly with a wry smile.

"I can't tell!"

Xiao Ai smiled lightly and said:

"After all, none of the women participating in the beauty pageant are fuel-efficient!"

With that said, everyone soon walked into the living room of this suite.

This living room is at least the size of fifty tatami mats, with a huge leather sofa, a grand piano, and even a bar.

One wall of the living room is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, offering a panoramic view of the city center.

"Please take a seat."

At Shou Meiling's urging, everyone sat down on the large sofa.

"Hualien!"

Meiling rushed to the room with the door open and shouted, and Hualian, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, turned around.
