Chapter Eighty-Eight: Explosion
"Hey, the chaebol hasn't come yet?" downstairs in the detective office, Uncle Maori sat in a rented car, complaining impatiently. Also in the car were Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Motota. Ran, Conan, Dr. Asasa and I were standing outside the car waiting for the garden to come and meet.
"Just now she said that she was already out......" Xiaolan replied, holding flowers in her hand. Uncle Maori is a senior who has a very good relationship with Mio Tokiwa, and as the daughter of Uncle Maori, when she arrives at the venue for a while, she is going to present flowers to Mio Tokiwa on behalf of her father.
As a result, except for Xiao Ai, who was forcibly grounded by me, and the real reason who didn't plan to come in the first place, all the people on the invitation have already arrived. Even Conan didn't agree with my words, he thought I was a little too alarmist, and the little mourning made him still a little unhappy with me. So, even though I knew that going to the banquet was likely to be dangerous, I still couldn't stop the people around me from passing over.
I've really failed as a human being......
"Hey, what do you think about the matter of Gray Plains?" Conan asked me with some dissatisfaction after standing together for a while, who still couldn't hold back his words. Conan was rather overwhelmed by my brutality.
"I don't want to discuss this issue. ”
"Ugh!" Conan choked slightly.
So the atmosphere became dull again.
Dr. Asa watched me and Conan fall out on the sidelines, but he smiled wryly and didn't know how to persuade him.
"Now, Mr. Yuan and the man in black are accomplices, this is not a big problem, right?" After a while, Conan couldn't help but talk to me.
"Hmm. The organization has always paid attention to the training of young people, on the one hand, it seeks out potential young children to train as killers, and on the other hand, it looks for young people who are talented but have not met in the fields of finance, medicine or chemistry. I bowed my jaw.
"What about City Councilor Mr. Ohki?"
"The organization is not for collecting waste, and that kind of garbage can't get into the eyes of the organization. I said lightly.
"So that means that among the few remaining people, there is a possibility that there are organized undercover agents?" Conan frowned.
"Well, probably. ”
"Hey~~, everyone's been waiting for a long time~" Just as Conan and I were chatting without a word, the big grinning voice of the garden came into my ears.
I looked up and was stunned!
Yuan Zi didn't know when he permed the same curly hair as Xiao Ai, and at a glance, he was actually seven or eight points similar to Zhizhi!
This is not good! If someone in the organization sees it and mistakenly thinks it's Shiho...... My face changed slightly. But there are two sides to everything, and if the garden can attract the group of people from the shadows, it won't necessarily be a bad thing.
"Garden?!What's the matter with your hair?!" Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise when she saw the image of the garden.
"Change your feelings, hehe. I'm learning from that little girl, and her hair is permed into waves!, I don't believe I'll be an aunt in ten years!" said the garden, with some vigour.
It turns out that I'm still struggling with the photos of the previous days......
By the way, the two photos of me and Mayu have long since been burned by me......
"Ale, where is the little girl, and the little girl who looks exactly like her is not there?" As he spoke, the garden suddenly noticed that Xiao Ai was not there, and couldn't help asking.
"It's really because there is something at home that I can't come, and Xiao Wai is not feeling well. Leaving aside some irritability, I nodded at the garden, barely smiling.
"What's wrong with the little one?" Yuan Zi bent down to look at me a little strangely, "Is the little girlfriend paralyzed when she is not around?"
Immediately, the garden patted me vigorously on the back and laughed heartlessly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's youth~ It's amazing......"
I smiled a little awkwardly and turned my head away from her. Looking at the current garden, I always have the illusion that I am looking at Shiho.
"Ahh
"Not really!"
Suddenly, I looked at the car along the way, only to see Ayumi turn her head as if she was angry, which made me a little baffled.
I really don't understand women......
When we arrived at the venue, it was already overcrowded. The current venue is a world away from the chaotic venue a few days ago, with a spacious hall, luxurious decorations, gorgeously dressed celebrities, and elegant conversations, and the current Tokiwa Group has shown a hint of the bearing of a large company.
After showing his invitation at the reception, Uncle Maori's eyes were immediately attracted by the dazzling variety of delicacies in the venue, as if he had not eaten for a few days, he jumped up with a plate, and we all saw this, took two steps back with tacit understanding, and turned his head to look elsewhere to show that he had nothing to do with that person.
"Caviar with foie gras and roast duck! I can't stand it anymore!!" My hands moved and my mouth refused to rest for a moment, and I admired Uncle Maori's dedication to food.
"Then I'm going to ...... too" was exaggerated by Uncle Maori, and Dr. Asa was also a little eager to try.
"Dr. Asasa, you're already a member of the Three Highs, aren't you?" I interrupted Dr. Asasa and said.
"If you don't want to become Alzheimer's, it's better to eat calorie-filled food!" Conan added, pushing his glasses.
“...... Oh. Dr. Asa languished, rather unwillingly.
I took a glass of wine casually and tasted it while looking indifferently at the crowd.
These well-dressed so-called celebrities, don't look at their modest and polite appearance now, what kind of goods are they in private, it's hard to say, sanctimonious villains, I've seen a lot in my last life, money and power are like chains that tightly strangle people's souls, the more you have, the more human nature will be distorted.
This is the root of human inferiority that cannot be changed......
Suddenly, a chill hit my heart! It was as if a cold gaze had been staring at me in the dark! The eerie, wet feeling like a poisonous snake made my hairs stand on end!
I turned my head suddenly, but I didn't notice anything, and I was still seeing the guests talking and laughing, and the uncomfortable feeling just now was gone, and everything seemed to be my hallucination......
"Hey, how can a child drink!" Xiaolan gently knocked me on the head.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan," I put away my thoughts, turned to Xiaolan and smiled, "I'm just curious about the taste of wine." ”
"That's not going to work! If you drink, you have to grow up to do it, now you can only drink drinks!" said Xiaolan, shoving a glass of orange juice into my hand and snatching my red wine.
"Yes, yes. I smiled wryly, but I didn't drink the juice in my hand. If I tell them that I won't get drunk when I drink, but I will get drunk with juice, I don't know if they will believe it.
"However, Minghui looked so stylish when he was drinking just now! I feel so mature! Just like the prince!" Ayumi looked at me with little stars in her eyes.
Wasn't she still angry just now? I really don't understand her.
"Na, Minghui, what does red wine taste like? My dad has always only drunk sake. Yuan asked me curiously.
"Red wine is not good at all, I used to drink my father's secretly, sour, astringent, very unpleasant, I really don't know why adults like to drink that kind of thing. Mitsuhiko shook his head and sighed.
After chatting a few words, the children's attention was immediately attracted by the car parked at the scene.
FORD'S MUSTANG-CONVERTIBLE, TRANSLATED AS THE FORD MUSTANG-CONVERTIBLE, IS A RED IMPORTED SPORTS CAR, WITH A SIMPLE, TRADITIONAL, HANDSOME INTERIOR DESIGN, AND A SIMPLE AND GORGEOUS APPEARANCE. The market price of such an imported car is at least about 30 million yen, which is of course out of reach for children.
But soon, Ayumi and their topic shifted to how to transport the car upstairs, as children, they are not as enthusiastic about famous cars as adults. Children's thinking is really big.
Shaking my head and smiling, I strolled towards the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hall of the venue.
The floor-to-ceiling windows face Mt. Fuji, and you can enjoy the entire view of Mt. Fuji, and many people stand in front of the windows and enjoy the stunning scenery. As the sun sets in the evening, the orange-red glow of the sky reflects the majestic nature of Mt. Fuji, giving you a sense of tranquility and distance.
"It's so beautiful!" Xiaolan smiled and looked at Mt. Fuji, expressing sincere admiration.
"yes, such a beautiful view, if I could see it with Shinichi, how ...... would I Right?" said the garden, teasing to Lan.
"What are you talking about, you are bullying me......" Xiaolan's face turned red and tilted her head to the side. The light in his eyes was a little dim.
"Hey, Lan, you're still thinking about that kid named Yuichi Kudo, right?" The gloom that flashed in Xiao Lan's eyes did not escape the eyes of Sonoko, who was her best friend, and Sonoko's tone became quiet in a rare way.
I just wanted to go up to say hello to them, and tease Xiaolan by the way, but the words of the garden made me involuntarily stop. After the turmoil of my mother's liberation and amnesia, Xiaolan has been behaving normally for a while, I thought that Xiaolan had completely let go of Yuichi Kudo, but I didn't want to, Xiaolan has always had something on her mind to hide from us.
“...... Well. After hesitating, Xiaolan still bowed slightly.
"You remember everything about that kid?"
"Well, I basically remembered it, but, most importantly, his face, I can't see ......" A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Xiaolan's mouth: "Although I told everyone that I had already thought about Yuyi, I don't know why, but I can't really forget him." ”
"Lan ......" the garden wanted to speak and stopped.
"I know what you're trying to say, Garden. But, I can't do it......" Xiaolan shook her head: "I know that he has been dead for ten years, and I also know that I can't always live in memories, Shinichi's mother also told me that Yuichi's greatest hope is that I can be happy, so that I have to cherish the people around me, but if all this is premised on forgetting Yuichi, I really can't do it......"
Can't you forget it......?
"Do you know the garden, the scene of Yu Yi standing alone in the rain when he was an hour, it was almost like engraved in my heart! his back, his smile, his sorrow...... I could really feel all this! But! I couldn't see his face clearly! My hands couldn't penetrate the thin layer of rain and mist! I didn't know what I was going to do!"
"Lan ......" Yuan Zi looked at Xiao Lan and stopped talking.
"Yuanzi, I'm really a little confused about myself now, I've been looking forward to Shinichi coming back, and I can be with him as before, but now, even if he really comes back, I don't know if I'll be able to restore my previous relationship with him, I don't know what I'm thinking in my heart, while thinking about Shinichi, I can't forget Yuichi, I'm really bad enough......" Xiaolan smiled bitterly, with a hint of confusion on her face.
"Lan! you can't do this!" Yuan Zi boarded Xiaolan's shoulder and looked at her squarely: "Xinyijun's mother is right, you must cherish the people around you! No matter what Yoichi says, he has been dead for ten years! Even if you think about him again, he will not be able to take care of you! Continuing to think about him has no meaning except to bring you pain! You must look forward! You must face your own heart! Yuichi and Shinichi, who is the most important to you!"
"Do you face your heart? It's the same as Shinichi said...... But what is my heart like......" Xiaolan struggled with some pain, and the water in her eyes flickered.
I felt a pain in my heart and wanted to come forward to comfort me, but after thinking about it, I had to suppress my impulse. What can I do now? I'm just a kid now, in Xiaolan's eyes, just a younger brother-like existence, and in Xiaolan's emotional world, Edogawa Minghui has no right to speak......
"Thank you ......very much for taking the time to attend the opening ceremony of the Tokiwa Group Twin Towers Skyscraper today."
Just when everyone was thinking about it, Mio Tokiwa's voice surrounded the audience through the microphone, attracting the attention of all the guests present, and Mio Tokiwa was seen wearing a luxurious evening dress and a string of pearl necklaces around her neck, standing on a platform set up in the middle of the venue, her eyes blazing as she surveyed the crowd.
"Here, as an after-show, I would like to invite you to play a small game, this game is taken from the name of Yu's father, Tokiwa Kansei, and in order to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Tokiwa Group, I would like to play a game related to time, that is, a game that is only 30 seconds......"
"WHOEVER GUESSES RIGHT, OR THE PERSON WHO GUESSES CLOSELY, THE MUSTANG-CONVERTIBLE DISPLAYED THERE WILL BE A GIFT FOR YOU TO DRIVE HOME......"
The crowd, who had been listening quietly and didn't react much, immediately became commotion when they heard this, and there was a lot of discussion, and their enthusiasm was obviously high.
"However, if two people guess correctly, it will be decided by guessing, and the loser will have to take it and ride this off-road mountain bike with a hard hat......"
"Hahaha......"
The crowd laughed.
Compared to the warm atmosphere at the scene, my mood at the moment is not so good. I'm in a mess right now, and I'm not interested in the so-called "guess the 30-second game".
I know that Xiaolan is suffering because of me, but I can't do anything!Why?!Why?!
I'm bored!I'm bored!!!I'm just going to drink right now, and it's better to paralyze the twitching nerves in my head.
When I found the wine cabinet, I held the counter with my hand and jumped lightly, turning over the counter. There were dozens of bottles of all kinds on the wine shelves behind the counter, and I easily found Bordeaux, where the bartender had already gone to the venue to participate in the game, and I could have a drink while everyone's attention was drawn to the game.
"Jump!" I pulled the cork out of the bottle with the corkscrew, and poured the wine straight down.
It is true that red wine is not drunk like this, or rather, the way I drink it now, it is simply a ruinous thing, but what does it matter? Wine, it would be nice to be intoxicating......
"Uh!" I couldn't help but burp as the smell of alcohol rose, and my brain seemed to be refreshed by the strong stimulation of alcohol, and the boredom in my chest seemed to be relieved......
"So, wine is such a good thing, Xiaolan, why are you so brainless......" I sat down on the ground with the bottle in my arms, muttering to myself.
Hawkers,No matter.,I have to think about everything.,It's really tiring.,You can do whatever you want.,I don't care about anything......
"Knock ......"
Did you finish a bottle of wine so quickly? I turned the empty bottle in my hand upside down, and after a while, a drop of wine reluctantly "spit out" from the bottle.
Really, do you have to embarrass me even with a bottle? I just want to have some wine! Anyway, there's a lot of wine here, I'll just take it...... Pouting dissatisfied, I stood up and reached for the rack again.
Just as I took the bottle again, a faint red light flashed away, barely noticeable.
Huh? Just now...... I turned my gaze to the wine rack a little strangely. It was just a bottle of wine, not enough to get me drunk, and I didn't believe it was a delusion. In this spacious and bright venue, I don't think this wine rack will have anything like colored lights.
I took the bottles away with my hands, and after the layers of bottles were removed, a boxy thing appeared in front of me, and an LCD screen on it showed that there were still two hours left, and a red light was flashing......
Timer!
"That's pretty impressive...... I smiled and covered the timer with my bottle again. There is no doubt that this is the handiwork of the organization. MAYBE GIN IS WAITING TO WATCH THE FIREWORKS NOT FAR FROM THE TWIN-TOWER SKYSCRAPER......
This thing can't be known to anyone. If this thing is found and causes panic, then it's a problem. And it is not possible to inform the police to quietly transfer people out little by little, and there may be organized spies in this group. I looked coldly at the group of people who were waiting to start the game.
Almost all of the company's top management are here, and if this bomb is detonated, the Tokiwa Group will exist in name only, and I immediately thought of the organization's plan, after all, if it was because Mr. Hara invaded the organization's network with the help of the main computer of the Tokiwa Group, he only destroyed the main computer of the Tokiwa Group and deleted the information in Mr. Hara's computer, which is too obvious and cannot be concealed from anyone who cares, but if the entire Tokiwa Group is wiped out, it can be pushed to the body of the business opponent, and this abacus is very good。
But if there's still two hours left...... Enough is enough. I smiled and looked around.
At this time, the thirty-second game had already begun, and I slowly wandered around the venue, looking for places where there might be security bombs, and if I wanted to catch all the people here, there would probably not be only one bomb, and the places where the bombs would be placed must be in places that ordinary people would not notice, such as ...... No, if the lamp breaks, the bomb will be found by the person repairing the lamp. I shook my head and dismissed my thoughts.
Floor, utility room, toilet, elevator...... As soon as I walked out, I didn't find the shadow of the bomb, which made me a little distressed.
Where's the bomb?!As time passed, I couldn't help but feel the urge to go crazy!
The game at the venue is over, and it seems that Uncle Maori has won. It seemed that he had just taken the stage to speak, but I was so engrossed in the bomb that I couldn't hear what he was saying.
"Hey, I found out just now, are you looking for something?" Conan asked me as he grabbed my clothes and grabbed me.
"There's a bomb planted here, I'm looking for it. I whispered.
"What?!bomb?!" Conan's eyes shrank: "Did the organization do it?"
I nodded slightly: "Don't make a noise, keep an eye on the children, don't let them run around." ”
"Okay, I know. Conan nodded in agreement and asked me again, "Do you have an eye on where to plant the bomb?"
"No, I've been looking around for a long time, and there's no trace of ......," I said, shaking my head.
"It can't be under the table in the venue, right?" Conan asked, looking at the table in the venue.
"How come? There are so many children here, if you play hide and seek......" I smiled and shook my head, rejecting Conan's judgment.
"No, you're wrong," Conan shook his head, looked at me and said, "There are a lot of children here, but don't forget, the children here are all 'status' children, and such a humiliating thing as drilling the table, let alone their parents, even themselves, will not do it." ”
"I hadn't thought about that, but would the Order really put bombs in such a place?" I half-jokingly lifted the tablecloth from one of the tables next to me and looked inside.
...... Really here!
It seems that the other bombs must have been placed under the table...... I stood up and nodded at Conan, a sneer on my lips.
Conan looked at me, I nodded affirmatively, indicating that there was no problem in handing it over to me, Conan nodded knowingly, and led the children away from the table, while I found a pair of scissors, a screwdriver, and a test pen in the utility room in the background. With these things, if I let your bomb go off, I would have lived to be a dog for so many years!
The atmosphere in the venue was still warm, because the slides of the exhibition of Ruyue Fengshui were to be played, and the lights on the scene were dimmed, because with the flashlight watch given by the doctor, the darkness not only did not affect my movements, but made my actions more convenient. Unbeknownst to anyone, a great crisis lurked around them, and I walked like a ghost under the tables, silently defusing the bombs.
Isn't this supposed to be the job of a police officer? Why did I have a killer to do the job of saving people? It's ironic......
I kept talking in my heart as my hands kept moving. There are a total of thirty-two tables at the scene, and there is a bomb under each table, and the organization is really a big deal for this operation, and there are less than two hours left, fortunately, the structure of the bomb is not complicated, and they are all the same model, after successfully cracking the first bomb, the rest are just skilled work.
While I was busy and happy, I was stunned by a scream from the scene, and I got out of the table to see Mio Tokiwa hanging in the middle of the slide, hanging in the air, as if I didn't know who was hanging.
I hurriedly looked at Conan, who shook his head quietly and made a gesture to me, signaling that my movements would not stop, and that he would solve the problem of the case.
I couldn't help but smile and stumble under the table again.
When it comes to reasoning, in fact, I am not as good as Conan at all, and what I rely on is just more than ten years of experience than Conan.
Brother, let's let our brothers work together once......
After about half an hour, the building suddenly began to shake, and I quickly climbed out of the table and found Conan's side.
"What's going on?"
"The motor room and generator room, as well as the computer room on the 40th floor, were all blown up. Conan said in a somewhat heavy tone.
"What?" I frowned.
"Mr. Kazama said that the sightseeing elevator can still move, you don't care about the bombs here, you can go down through the sightseeing elevator with the others first, as for here, as long as people can escape safely, blow up here. Conan looked around the room and said to me.
"No, I'm not leaving. I shook my head and said: "The organization's plan will never be as simple as blowing up the computer room, they must have the next move, you follow the crowd to get off the elevator first, if the road ahead is blocked, go back here, I believe that I must have dismantled the bomb by then, then we will go to the top floor and wait for the helicopter, they can't blow up the whole building, if you escape successfully, I will wait for the helicopter on the top floor alone, I am here to defend a back road for you." ”
“...... Oh well, you be careful. Conan thought for a moment and agreed with my idea.
"Well, be careful. I nodded, and was about to say goodbye to Conan, but my brain suddenly had an idea: "Wait, you said that the motor room was also blown up?"
"yes. "Conan didn't understand what I meant.
"The motor room is in control of all the elevators, the motor room is destroyed, and the people here can only escape by sightseeing elevator, and the power supply of the sightseeing elevator is set up separately, and it is impossible for the organization not to know this, that is to say, they intend to let you take the sightseeing elevator......" Speaking of this, I couldn't help but let out an exclamation: "Ouyang!"
Yes, I can't think of any other plans for the organization other than Ouyang. GIN's intention is obvious, that is, he wants Ouyang to snipe at the people who take the sightseeing elevator, as for the target of the sniping...... The identities of me, Conan, and Xiao Ai cannot be revealed, the only flaw...... I looked at the garden not far away, and it couldn't be that she was really seen and mistaken for Shiho......
"According to you, are we going to have to take the stairs?" asked Conan in a deep voice.
"No, you still have to take the elevator down, they have locked the people here, if the person who was supposed to be the elevator didn't appear in the elevator, they would definitely chase them to the end, so you just have to do this, like this...... Got it?" I whispered in Conan's ear.
"Okay, I see, then I'll go, you be careful yourself. Conan nodded and instructed me.
"Rest assured. I waved my hand carelessly.
After a while, I saw the water-covered garden shouting loudly and dissatisfied, and Conan followed the garden with a smile on his face.
I smiled with satisfaction.
That's right, my idea was to find a way to ruin the image of Shiho. Shiho wouldn't be yelling like the garden, and if GIN they saw the garden like this, they would definitely be suspicious, and I also told Conan to be careful of sniping, in case GIN they had the idea of "I'd rather kill the wrong than let go", in this way, as long as the garden kept shouting like this, GIN They should find out that the garden was indeed not Shiho, right?
A person's face may be able to change, but a person's nature will never change.
Don't care about Conan and them, I started to work intensively again, this is our last way to survive, I must hold this place.
