Chapter 3 – Husband And Wife

"Wow, this mansion is so big!" Ran walk to the front of the mansion and amazed at the vastness of it.

-)✿(-

"And there're so many people, we almost not have a place to park our car."

"Let's enter" Narumi said and walking to the mansion's front door.

"Welcome, you are Kogoro Mouri, right?" The receptionist asked.

"Yes" Kogoro replied.

"Excuse me" The receptionist attached a flower shaped brooch to Kogoro and the others.

"Come in" Another staff then take them to the food table in front of the stage. There are many people in the room, sitting at round tables that were provided.

"Your food is on the way, please wait here a moment." The waitress said, at the same time another waitress with a drink cart walked to their table.

"What would you like to drink?"

"A beer, please" Kogoro said.

"I'll have an orange juice, please" Ran said and turned to ask Conan. "Orange juice, Conan-kun?"

"I'll have lemonade instead, thanks Ran-neechan"

"Huh? Dad, what are you looking at?" She asked Kogoro when she saw her father keep staring at a woman's back that sitting two tables away.

"She is awfully familiar" Kogoro said, still staring her.

"Who is it?" Ran asked.

"Just forget it"

"Dad, s-she's standing up and walking to us" Ran said when she saw the woman walking to her.

When she walked closer to her, Ran gasped."M-mom?"

"Your mother?" Kogoro turned around, surprised to see Eri Kisaki standing behind him.

"What are you doing here?!" He asked.

"What about you? Why are you here?"

"Who is she?" Narumi asked Ran.

"Um…" She doesn't know what to say…

"The great detective like me was always invited to the big party, you know?"

"You? The great detective? You are just a pervert old man!"

"Grr! What are you doing here anyway?" Kogoro asked angrily.

"I'm Hirata Banba's lawyer; he is the chief editor of 'The Way' magazine and the host of this party."

At that moment a man sitting at the same table as Eri get up and walk in.

"What's the matter? Kisaki-san?" Takuro Shigematsu asked Eri.

"Nothing, just a pervert old man here..." She said and glared at Kogoro.

"Who is he?"

"Huh? How can you not know him?! His name is Takuro Shigematsu; 'The Way' magazine's chief designer."

"Nice to meet you" Takuro said.

Then Narumi stands up and said. "Oh, I got it! You and Mouri-san are husband and wife, right?"

"Uh..w-we.."

"But we lived separately for a long time now." Kogoro cut her off, anger appeared on Eri's face.

"Let's get out of here, Shigematsu-san, if I stay here much longer, I would go crazy." And walk back to her table.

"Excuse me" Takuro said and followed Eri.

'Oi, these two' Conan thought.

A/N 2 : I changed story's line break, horizontal line annoyed me. I already think of the murder trick but...eh well this will be a long story, so I guess there will be more than one murder...and if you have forgotten, I have mentioned about the bomb, right? Every DC movie had bombs XD I think there will be more than 20 chapters...maybe...I don't know. Oh and you! review this story too!

Update 07/04/2015 - I think the story isn't that long, so maybe less than 20 but it was confirmed that will be more than 10 chapters.

Ps. I have a question, the word 'gasped' in this chap is correct? and the word 'gape' can't -(e)d? (You can still answer this question...)
