Chapter 365: Under the Twin Towers
Chapter 365: Under the Twin Towers
"Eh?!Sister Xiaolan, why are you here?" Coming to the foot of the twin buildings in Mosedor City, before he could sigh at the majesty of the tall building in front of him, Conan was attracted by Xiaolan, Yuanzi, and Dad who had just gotten out of a taxi on the other side.
"Stinky boy, why are you here?" Dad got out of the car, and questioned us who had just arrived, whether it was so coincidental that we could meet here, it was early in the morning.
"Just finished camping and was going home, what about Uncle?" asked Conan, looking up.
"Ahem. Dad cleared his throat and began to explain what he meant. "The owner of this building, Mio Tokiwa, is actually my junior sister in college, and now my Mori Kogoro is famous, so naturally I am also concerned by the community, and I also took some care of this senior sister when I was in college, so before the official opening next week, Mio beckoned me to take a look. Determine the number of people who will come for the opening next weekend. β
"Oh, so the reason why Sister Xiaolan came with me?" I asked clearly.
"Not yet, Dad, he didn't tell me anything at all. Xiao Lan's face puffed up. "If it weren't for my forced confession, my father would have gotten through this time. β
"Why, where is the forced confession!" "Dad is also a little embarrassed, this is in front of so many children, this dead girl doesn't know how to save some face for my father.
"Uh... "For the conversation between my father and Xiaolan, I can only sigh with my forehead, but I also admire Xiaolan, this memory has not been long back, as if everything has been back on track in an instant, but it is also gratifying.
"What about Sister Yuanzi?" I turned my gaze to the garden beside Xiaolan.
"Tokiwa Mio is the eldest lady of the Tokiwa Foundation. As a competitor, my dad asked me to fight the outpost. "The garden is serious.
"If you really hit the outpost, you wouldn't have let you, the second lady of high school, come, but your eldest sister, right?" I squinted my half-moon eyes and complained.
"Hehe, stinky boy, as soon as we met, I started to ridicule my sister. A tic-tac-toe quickly appeared on Yuanzi's forehead, and then he stepped forward and pulled my face and rubbed it vigorously.
βγγγ Excuse me, are you Mr. Kogoro Mori?" and while everyone was watching us frolicking, a young woman came out of the building and asked my father.
"Ah, the surname Maori. "Dad also saw the visitor, it was an ol beauty in her twenties and thirties.
"Hello Mr. Mori, I'm the secretary of Chairman Tokiwa, Sawaguchi. At present, the chairman of the board of directors is receiving customers, so please come with me to the exhibition room and wait. With that, Sawaguchi gave up slightly and made a gesture of please, and my father also walked into the tall building of more than 300 meters after thanking him.
"This is Building A of the Twin Towers, which is the office area. The part above the 31st floor belongs to the Tokiwa Foundation. The exhibition halls are on the second and third floors. Come with me. "Walking into the building, Sawaguchi introduced us and led the way.
"Anyway, what does the Tokiwa Foundation do?" Ayumi asked casually on the elevator.
"I've heard that it's computer software. As soon as he entered Mitsuhiko's realm, he immediately began to talk endlessly. "I've heard that as long as it's something related to electronics, the Tokiwa Foundation is involved. β
"So, aren't there a lot of video games too?haha, some of them are playing now!" The first thing that came to mind was the game, and it was also a matter of his temperament.
As if hearing Motota's appeal, Secretary Sawaguchi gave a brief introduction to the development of the Tokiwa family in the exhibition hall and then led everyone to the exhibition field of video games. As soon as you enter the lobby, a dazzling array of images and the sound of heartwarming music fill the entire area. The eyes of the children who watched it were full of brilliance, and even Dr. Asa praised it again and again.
"In the end, it is a big consortium, not to mention such a twin tower, but also occupies the most marketable industry. Looking at the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh.
"Electronics, which may not be popular yet, will certainly be the dominant world in ten years' time. Shiho squinted, put his hands behind his back, and said with a determined expression.
"Maybe we should also intervene?" I said lightly beside Zhibao. "If you can grasp the position of a pioneer in the field of electronics, you don't have to worry about running out of money. β
"You, a person who can't even pass program testing, even want to get involved in the electronics field?" Shiho gave me a playful look. "You're not good at that, are you?"
"It's just superficial. I smiled at Shiho.
"Oh?" Shiho asked in a low voice in my ear. "Will it be in the last life?"
"So-so. I smiled, "The technology of that era was better than it is now, if you can make good use of it... β
"It's terrible to be a person who lives two lives. Shiho sputtered, and then continued to browse the machines in the room. "If you have time, tell me everything about your last life. More advanced technology is indeed an opportunity. β
ββββ the taste of the orchid, the taste of lavender, the taste of the home & the wings of the angel, the wings of the devil, the wings of the guardianββββ
"Haha, welcome to all of you. After Sawaguchi led us for a while, a middle-aged man in a suit with a smile on his face greeted us.
"This is Mr. Hara, who is a director and engineer. Sawaguchi hurriedly introduced.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yuan Jiaming. Someone greeted him. "The games and software here are open to the public, so please feel free to do so. β
"Really? Hahaha!" Hearing Mr. Hara's words, the children immediately burst into joy. ran to see all kinds of games, and even the garden pulled Xiaolan around. Yuan Jiaming also accompanied everyone all the way to play and explain.
"Strange, what is this?" Soon, a strange machine caught everyone's attention, it was a two-seater with a helmet-like machine attached to it.
"Well, this is a machine that can predict what it will look like in ten years. Yuan Jiaming squatted down and explained to the children kindly. "Would you like to give it a try?"
Ten years later, this is a temptation for children, and even the doctor wonders how the machine does it. So the children raised their hands in the hope of giving it a try.
"So, please, you two seats. Yuan Jiaming raised his hand to signal, when the doctor and Ayumi were seated, Yuan Jiaming walked to the machine, pressed the switch, and the two helmet-like instruments slowly fell in front of Ayumi and Dr., after a series of scans, the machine finally pressed the shutter. Soon, the photos of the two were swept out of the photocopy port under the console.
"Hmmm... Nothing has changed. Motota said as he looked at the doctor's picture.
"Is this machine broken?" Mitsuhiko followed.
"The doctor is a man of his age, how do you expect him to change? I couldn't help but complain.
"And the machine is fine. Conan shouted with a smile. "Come and see Ayumi. β
When everyone came to Ayumi's side, they looked at her photo. I saw that Ayumi, who was still very immature, seemed to have a hint of the youthfulness and sweetness that a girl should have in the photo. The hairpin on her head disappeared, and there were more broken strands of hair on her forehead, and she had long hair after ten years, with a hint of sunshine but a little shy in her smile. A beautiful embryo alive. Both Motota and Mitsuhiko, who were watching, blushed.
"It's so cute~" The two couldn't help but say. "Hey, let's try it too. With that, the two of them also sat down one after another. However, when they got the photos, they didn't look too excited. Because... The photo looks too ordinary, and although the two of them are mature, they are the kind that can't be found even if they are thrown into the pile. But after all, it's just a prediction. You can't take it 100% seriously.
"Haha, yes, yes, I've seen this type of high school student. Behind the two of them, Yuan Zi raised his cheeks and complained.
"You guys actually shot very well~" Xiaolan stepped forward to comfort her, which made the two smile.
"Then, next, it's me and Xiaolan. Yuan Zi eagerly pulled Xiaolan into the machine. But when the photo of the garden fell into her hand, she was suddenly depressed.
"Yes, yes, oh, I've seen Obasans like this on the street. Yuan Tai said with a grin.
"That's long-winded, little ghost. "The garden is not satisfied, indeed, the garden is only 17 years old this year, ten years later is the time when he is mature, and it is also the most charming, how can he be so old like the photo.
"However, Sister Xiaolan's side is very good. Ayumi held up a photo of Ran. Twenty-six or seventeen-year-old Xiaolan is simply a young version of her mother, with her long shawl hair tied back at the back of her head, turning into a high ponytail, two curls of bangs on her forehead, and a pair of glasses on her mature and attractive face. If it weren't for the fact that the eyebrows were still so gentle, and a little bit of heroism was added, it would be a copy of my mother.
"Hmph, I feel so unwilling to think that such a beautiful Xiaolan is going to be monopolized by Kudo. "The orange in the garden said. "Why am I so old at the same age?"
"This is probably to tell you to pay more attention to maintenance. The flowers of the province have not yet bloomed. I said at the right time. "To be honest, if you remove the hairpin and change it to a bang, you might be able to get three points in the United States. But you ... Huh?" Before the words were finished, the garden was already standing in front of me, with a smile on his face.
"Stinky boy, you dare to complain about my sister, I'm not finished, right? Now it's your turn!" After that, Yuan Zi didn't care about my struggles, and threw me directly to the seat. "And the little girl over there, you come with you!" Yuan Zi shouted as he waved his hand to Motota and they pushed Shiho up on the side. "Two young ghosts, let my sister and I see if you have a husband and wife relationship between Kudo and Xiaolan in ten years. β
"Hey, we didn't say we wanted to play this!" "My mind was in turmoil, what I would look like in ten years, wouldn't I be like Icewine in ten years? It's over, it's going to explode! Although only Shiho has seen me in the audience, Xiaolan also has a relationship. Coupled with Xiaolan's memory only returning, and her recent state, she will definitely be able to pull me out of my memories at a glance. It's going to be bad!
Click. Click...
Two camera sounds. Soon, two photos were spit out.
"This... Is this Kaoru?" Yuan Zi took the photo and widened his eyes for the first time.
The face in the photo is nothing different from mine, the only difference is the mature temperament on the face, and the faint softness between the eyebrows. It feels like I'm attracted.,But it's okay.γγ The only thing to be thankful for is that my hair color has not changed back to its original shape, it is still pale gold, and my hair has been elongated, exactly like the white river ice that I became after taking the medicine.
"This... Isn't this so handsome?" "Sister Stinky Boy admits that you do have a bit of a look, you must give me such a long time in the future, do you hear!"
"Whew... "I let out a long breath, and it was okay that the worst thing didn't happen. Xiaolan has never seen this look.
"But this way ... How do you feel so familiar? Yuan Tai looked at the photo and thought.
"I look like I've seen it somewhere. Mitsuhiko also thought with his cheeks raised.
"Hmmm... Eh, doesn't this look like the big brother that Officer Sato brought to the police station that day!" Ayumi recalled for a moment.
"That's right!" the two children also snapped. "It's the one called White River. Big brother of Bai Hebing!"
"Oops... "I can hide from the first year of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth. Xiaolan is hiding it here, but the children's side... "Ahh White, white river ice. "My mind raced. "He is... It's mine, uncle?yes! Uncle!" Jingliu's current identity is my mother, and Bai Hebing is Jingliu's younger brother, my uncle, no problem! "Uh... My uncle, who is by blood, is only 18 years old this year. Maybe we all have the same bloodline and look more alike. Aha, ahahaha. β
"Uncle?" the children looked confused. But they believed in my wickedness.
"What do you say, boy, you have such a handsome uncle?" Yuan Zi's eyes lit up, but he held my shoulders seriously. "You don't have to be long, introduce him to me! If you introduce it to me, I'll buy you delicious food, good clothes, and fun, if you hear it, introduce it to me!"
"He... He's elusive, and I don't always see him... Okay, no problem, I'll get him for you when I get back!" Seeing the almost murderous gaze in the garden, I was stunned in an instant, this woman is terrible.
"Ahh
"Maybe the machine is broken. Seeing that his photo did not appear, Shiho was also relieved.
"Eh, that's weird, how can this be?" said Yuan Jiaming started the machine's program, trying to figure out the error.
"Is it because ... Shiho had some doubts in his mind, and then said, "Edogawa, you can try it too." β
"Eh, me?" Conan was surprised, but he quickly understood what Shiho meant, thought about it, and finally risked being found and got on the machine. The result was even worse than Shiho's, and this time it was directly the machine that reported an error.
"What the hell is going on... Yuan Jiaming looked puzzled, the program code is obviously not a problem, why is there an error?
"Haha, everyone, the chairman's side has finished the meeting, please follow me to the banquet hall on the 75th floor. Sawaguchi interrupted everyone's suspicions at the right time. There was a problem with the works in the exhibition hall, which was a slap in the face of the Tokiwa Foundation, so Sawaguchi had to divert everyone's attention as soon as possible, so as to leave time for the engineering department to fix the loopholes.
Everyone didn't bother with this machine, after all, it was just a game facility. So with Zekou, everyone went up the sightseeing elevator together, straight to the 75th floor, of course, while everyone enjoyed the beautiful scenery, my father was close to the inside of the elevator alone, and it looked a little difficult to breathe.
"This elevator is a VIP exclusive elevator, which can go directly to the 75th floor, and the only intermittent in the middle is the concert hall on the 66th floor. Sawaguchi introduced. "Of course, for the opening banquet, we are still nervously preparing for the venue, so please forgive me if it is a little messy. β
"Ah, Maori senior. Soon, in the central area of the banquet hall, a woman dressed in red OL professional attire, with a capable but charming temperament, saw us and came up to greet us warmly.
"Tokiwa, it's been a long time. Dad also shook Tokiwa's hand politely.
"I'm sorry to let you come all this way. β
"Haha, where, where. Dad scratched his head embarrassedly. "Originally, I was going to come alone, but... β
"Hello, I'm his daughter Mao Lilan!" Xiaolan saw that her father had no intention of letting go, so she ran forward directly to interrupt. "My mother asked me to say hello to you on her behalf. β
"Well, I did receive your blessing, hello, I'm Mio Tokiwa. β
"Let me introduce you, this is my classmate Suzuki Sonoko. β
"Hello, Tokiwa-sama. β
"Ah, the second lady of the Suzuki family? Tokiwa saw people and hurriedly saluted.
"In the back is the inventor Dr. Asasa, and the children in the back are, Conan Edogawa, Ayumi Yoshida, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, Motota Kojima, and... In the back, the two little ones who muttered were Ming Ya Kaoru and Gray Yuan Ai. Okay, Kaoru, don't make any noise, I'm introducing it to you. Xiaolan suddenly approached me and said.
"Oh, oh, hello. Suddenly, I hurriedly greeted the woman in front of me.
"Hello, I'm Mio Tokiwa. "I didn't lose our manners because we were children, and Mio Tokiwa bowed to us very standardly. "Let me also introduce to you, this is my painting teacher, a Japanese painter, Mr. Rutsuki Minemizu. β
"Hmm... An old man in a kimono nodded to the crowd.
"Like the moon and the water... It's the one who is famous for painting Mt. Fuji.γγ Dad seemed to recognize the old man. But before Dad's words fell, a strong smell of wine came to his face, and Dad, a wine worm, couldn't help but subconsciously take a few steps back.
"Hehe, I know a thing or two about you. A balding middle-aged man covered in alcohol pointed at his father without any politeness. "You are the one ... Sleepy insect Mori Kogoro, right?"
"It's the sleeping Maori Kogoro!" "Dad straightened his clothes in dissatisfaction.
"This is a city councilor from Nishitama City, Oki Iwamatsu. When building this building, I didn't ask him to go around. Tokiwa hurriedly helped the congressman grow his face. Of course, the architect of the building, Mr. Hidehiko Kazama, is also indispensable. β
"Actually, I have something to do with Mr. Maori. β
"Oh, have we met?" said Dad, confused.
"No, I'm a disciple of Teiji Moritani. β
"Whew... What?!" For a while, several people, including Conan, were already surprised and vigilant.
"Haha, just kidding. Mr. Maori don't need to be nervous, I'm not like my teacher, I'm not going to blow up this building. β
γγγγγγ
The adults are talking and joking, and the children are starting to walk around the banquet hall, I have to say that this building of more than 300 meters, the scenery is really good, the front is Mount Fuji, the back is the B building of the twin towers, and the swimming pool on the top floor is also unobstructed, when these two buildings are built, the top floor of the B building will also become a beautiful scenery.
However, the children's frolic does not include the other three. At this time, although Conan did not participate in the conversation between me and Shiho, he also vaguely guessed something.
"The machine. . . It doesn't seem easy. In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Shiho looked at me with a solemn face.
At this time, I also realized the problem, it is not that the two people do not display, but this machine, there is no way to scan the real data of the two people. This machine is not just based on facial scans, if this kind of problem is really as Shiho expected, then this machine is definitely using biotechnology!
"If I was scanned out because of genetic mutations, then you and Conan were not scanned, could it be that the genes can't read your real age?"
"It's hard to say. Although Shiho looked out the window, he didn't have the slightest idea of looking at the scenery in his heart. "It's just by scanning the facial features that it doesn't have that kind of problem, what is the probability that this is? I think it's necessary to find out, and it's better to get a prototype or code. β
"Check the bottom of Tokiwa first, and then... That machine must be destroyed!" My gaze was slightly cold, and a faint killing intent unconsciously revealed it. A game console with a face scan, with its own biotechnology, this Tokiwa consortium is deeper than I thought. "Say, is there any force behind the Tokiwa Foundation?"
"Hmm. Shiho nodded. "The development of biotechnology cannot be developed at all if it is not driven by a huge chain. I even wonder if it could be the organization ... β
"Ahh Before Zhibao and I could speak, we heard two employees talking about something out of the VIP elevator.
"That's right, it's already a rare classic car, by the way, what's it called?"
"Porsche 365A. β
"What!?" Conan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he hurriedly ran forward. "What are you talking about? What model is that car? What color!"
"Paula, Porsche 365A, black. The employee subconsciously said.
"Sure enough. Conan's face was solemn, he looked back at me, and when he saw me nodding, he rushed to the elevator and went all the way downstairs.
"Could it be them? It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Shiho was already a little scared at this point, even though she was still pretending to be calm.
"Just look at it. With that, I took out my phone and shone it down from the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and swiped my thumb and forefinger on the screen, and the phone's camera instantly zoomed in. After a while, a black sedan appeared on the screen of the mobile phone. And in the driver's seat, sitting is Gin with long blond hair.
"Tsk. Faced with this situation, I couldn't help frowning. "It's a bit of a hassle this time. β
