Chapter 60: Charity Dinner
"If it was an ordinary dinner, she wouldn't have been invited."
As he spoke, Conan looked at her, "You should know who 'she' is, right?" ”
"Chrissy? Isn't it the daughter of big star Sharon? ”
The corners of Conan's mouth twitched: "You probably didn't hear the information from somewhere before, and then came to bluff me, right?"
"Isn't it?"
Qinghai Chuantang was puzzled for a moment, "If you mean Belmode, I probably know." ”
"But since it's written 'Chrissy', then she's just 'Chrissy', not Belmode."
The two are clearly distinguished by her.
It's like Shinichi Kudo and Conan although they are the same person.
But for Qinghai Chuantang, when Conan's body appeared, he was Conan; When Shinichi Kudo's body appeared, it was Shinichi Kudo.
If you confuse the two, when you think of a child who looks like 6 or 7 years old, but is the soul of a 17-year-old boy, and then all kinds of coquettish and cute.
Just thinking about it makes me feel a chill.
Conan put on a serious expression, after all, against the black-clothed organization, you must be a hundred times more energetic.
Otherwise, if you are not careful, it is easy to fall into danger.
"Sister Xiaotang. You've said you're a member of that organization. Since you didn't attack us, you must have defected to that organization, right? ”
"If that's the case, then you and Belmode should have met. So, could this be a conspiracy? ”
After all, the organization has never been tolerant of traitors.
This is what Conan summed up.
"So you mean that Mr. Aoi is also a member of that organization? Because you know I'm a traitor, you invited me to go? ”
Conan nodded, "It's possible." But I didn't feel the feeling of being a member of the organization in him. ”
"So the invitation to you may have been accidental...... And their goal is someone else. ”
Qinghai Chuantang comforted: "Since you come, you will be safe." What's more, although Belmode and I know each other's code names, we haven't met each other. ”
"So their target, it's not going to be me. And my identity should be 'dead' in their eyes. ”
And you've saved Belmode, and even if something really happens, she'll not be able to bear to do it to you.
But if it's someone else...... Not necessarily.
It's actually very easy for a child to blend in with the dinner party, not to mention that Conan also has a height advantage.
Qinghai Chuantang relied on the fact that he had never met Belmode, swaggering around the venue, tasting the delicate and small cakes on the table.
"Miss Tang, ..... today It's beautiful. No, I mean, it seems to be more glamorous than ever. ”
After all, the comparison between clear soup noodles and red soup noodles is not only the difference in appearance.
A little powder is the best way to get a taste of your own appearance, without hiding too much and making people feel fake and pompous.
"I wrote more praise from Mr. Aoi."
Qinghai Chuantang smiled and lifted the cake, "This time the tiramisu is moderately sweet, very good, thank you." ”
After looking around, Qinghai Chuantang felt a little strange.
"Didn't you say that the daughter of the big star Sharon would come? She didn't seem to be in sight, though. ”
"It seems to be temporary, so I can't come. However, the speaker on stage is a famous family recently, and you may also be interested. ”
"Have you been famous lately?"
Akakawa Aoi smiled and nodded, "Yes." His most recent book is called "Red and Black Collides" and it became a bestseller as soon as it hit the shelves. It's a pity that it's hard to find a copy now, otherwise I'd like to buy a copy and take a look. ”
The author of the book "The Collision of Red and Black" is Shungen Tomita.
The book tells the story of how a traitor to the Order, with the help of a detective, successfully fakes his death and escapes.
"Although I'm not a detective fan, I like to read all kinds of books, which can be regarded as enriching myself."
At that moment, a man came up to him and whispered something to him.
"I'm sorry Miss Tang, I have to continue to prepare the cake now, so I'll miss the company first."
And the man was actually the clerk of SMW Cake Shop, after all, both of them were wearing the same costume.
Soon after the two left, Qinghai Chuantang received a message from Conan-
"I know who they're targeting, it's that home."
Thanks to the bugging device placed on Qinghai Chuantang's clothes, he heard all this.
And the synopsis of the story, Conan, as one of the participants, naturally understands.
It's not a simple story, it's clear that the family named "Jungen Tomita" knows something.
And if the other party can't be wooed, the black organization's approach is usually ...... Kill.
However, if the content in it is really what you think, then isn't Mr. Akai dangerous?
Conan searched the Internet on his phone for information about the book, but all he got was a hint that the book was sold out.
In the product image, there is a book that looks thick.
The red and black contrasting cover, then printed with the name of the book, fits the theme of the title very well, and the two really collide.
But the question now is how they will do it.
How can we save him? It's better to run directly in front of the other party and say that someone is going to kill him, right?
What's more, if it's a child's speech, the other party will only take it as a prank.
All of a sudden, the lights dimmed.
There was not much surprise at this situation.
The spotlight shone on the stage, and a man with black, round-rimmed glasses, who looked a little rich, walked up to the stage and stood in front of the microphone.
The big back hairstyle made him look a little taller.
It's just that compared to his figure, it looks a little unsymmetrical.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am the author of "Red and Black" 'Shungen Tomita'. ”
"Recently, this book has been very popular among readers and friends, and I am deeply honored to be invited to be a special guest at this charity dinner today."
"So, I decided to donate all the proceeds from my debut book to help everyone in need."
The audience burst into warm applause.
Qinghai Chuantang couldn't help but applaud him, and he didn't know if he had a mine at home or was too kind.
"Because writing is just a hobby, I don't care how much I pay for the manuscript."
"I have decided to donate all the money for my next book to charity for the benefit of the public."
"The new work "Getting Smaller Detective" also hopes that everyone will support it, telling the story of the male protagonist who is a famous detective, because he was poured with unknown drugs, which caused his body to become smaller."
"Although it contains a little fantasy color, the plot in it follows the line of reasoning."
"After all, my idol is the world-famous reasoner 'Yusaku Kudo'."
It's not a charity gala at all...... Even their target is not Jungen Tomita.
Because their target is the detective who has become smaller, Shinichi Kudo, who used to be Shinichi, and now Conan Edogawa!
Run!
Run–
Conan only felt as if his whole body had fallen into an ice cave, and he felt like he couldn't move, as if he was fixed there.
The only thing I can be thankful for is that the place I'm in is safe.
If his reasoning is correct, then Aoi Akakawa is the member who has not yet been revealed: malt whisky.
Single Malt Whisky, abbreviated as SMW.
And this is exactly the name of his cake shop.
From the very beginning, he identified himself and even appeared with a swagger.
And Tomita Junyuan on the stage may not be himself, or this name and identity may be fabricated.
Actress Chris who did not appear at the scene...... So it's very likely that that Tomita Jungen was actually dressed up by Belmode!
"Run! Dangerous! ”
Conan sent a text message to the other person's phone.
But in this case, everyone's mobile phone is silent.
The screen lit up instantly, and then quickly went off. Because the phone is in a pocket, people don't notice it.
Otherwise, in this darkness, it will be a little more conspicuous.
Pitfall......
The moment the postcard is sent, it's a trap.
Conan realizes that something is wrong and prepares to contact Dr. Asasa to prepare for the rescue.
But at this moment, I suddenly received a text message.
"Conan, the event is over, it's time to go home."
There is also a smiley face with an emoji on the back.
Compared with the text messages sent to him by the other party in the past, Conan was a little suspicious that this was not sent by herself.
"Damn!"
Conan lowered his voice, and the bugging seemed to have been destroyed, leaving only a murmur.
So...... Could it be that she has been?
"Conan, aren't you sure? If you don't come out, I'll go back. ”
"There's nothing going on here, except that the family forgot that they were allergic to strawberries, so they accidentally ate strawberry cake and were taken to the hospital."
"And I happened to take this opportunity to leave, anyway, the cake is full."
A large number of words, and the tone is more like Qinghai Chuantang.
So, is it just that you are thinking too much?
Conan fell into self-doubt.
However, the synopsis of those two books is so similar to my own experience.
If the details can be compared, it will be extremely terrifying.
This will definitely not be a coincidence!
"Do you know which hospital Mr. Shunyuan was taken to?"
"Kakudo Central Hospital. Since you don't come out, then I'll go first. If you want to go to the hospital to see him, it is better to be careful, what if it is a trap? ”
The detective's curiosity, thirst for knowledge, and exploration of events are all used to the right advantage.
Conan's persistent attitude towards the Black Cloak Organization was also handled just right.
So in the beginning, it was really just a game.
Moreover, it was Conan himself who obediently sent it to the door.
