24 He was missing

According to the rules of the competition, the winning team can choose to take a sapphire worth 10 million US dollars, or simply take 10 million US dollars in cash as a reward.

Therefore, at this time, Mio Tokiwa, who wanted to take this opportunity to introduce her company's new jewelry business to the world, did not really care which team won the championship by what means, but hoped that the winner of the team would eventually choose gemstones as a reward.

Alternatively, for Mio Tokiwa, it may be more effective in terms of publicity for teams that have won by various means that have been unexpected in the course of the competition, so Mio Tokiwa is happy to see the "No. 3" team win.

So, at this time, what Tokiwa Mio has to do is to find a way to persuade the members of this team to choose sapphire as a reward-

Of course, the organizers also know that the contestants who choose to participate in the competition anonymously will most likely not choose to take the gems, but should take the cash directly, after all, it will be difficult to find out the identity of the other party in the future.

Unless, the team that came to participate in the competition was not for money, and it would certainly be impossible for such a valuable gemstone to be realized without leaving a trace.

Therefore, Mio Tokiwa feels that it is not easy for her to convince the players of this team to choose the gems under the name of their new company as rewards.

But at the very least, in the process of explaining the gem rewards, it is also a good time to promote the new company.

In this way, when Mio Tokiwa was thinking this, just as she asked the members of Team "3" what they would choose for the prize for the champion of this competition, there was no doubt, and the man with messy hair, heavy black-rimmed glasses, and a red and black plaid shirt continued to answer in Chinese:

"Gems."

In this way, it is somewhat surprising that the players of this team who came to participate in the competition would choose gems instead of taking 10 million dollars in cash.

Such a choice was strange to the other teams present for a while, but for Tokiwa Mio, it was a good time to introduce the newly listed jewelry company of the Tokiwa Group.

So, after the members of Team "3" said that they would choose gems as rewards, Mio Tokiwa began to introduce:

"It's great to see that the winner of this 'World Hacking Championship' has chosen a reward of tens of millions of dollars worth of sapphires. And this sapphire is the most valuable sapphire in the world for our latest jewelry company founded by the Tokiwa Group, and it is the most valuable sapphire in the world......"

So, along with this topic, Mio Tokiwa began to talk about the jewelry company......

……

"Huh? Is the Tokiwa Group in the jewelry business? ”

At this time, in the audience, hearing Mio Tokiwa's narration, Suzuki Sonoko was a little surprised, but she didn't expect this kind of thing to happen:

"Isn't the Tokiwa Group's main business in computer software? Why did you suddenly start entering the jewelry industry? ”

"Hmm."

Nodding silently, Xiaolan couldn't help but respond.

However, for this time, Xiaolan thought of another thing, and then said:

"But speaking of which, at the opening party of this building, didn't the Tokiwa Group give gems to all the contestants who participated in the silent time game? Perhaps, Tokiwa Group already had such an idea at that time. ”

Saying this, Xiaolan touched the necklace she was wearing around her neck now-

This is the gem that Xiaolan received after the last opening party. Because she was invited to visit the Twin Towers Skyscraper this time, Xiaolan deliberately put it on, so she quickly thought of it.

Hearing this, several members of the junior detective group on the side also nodded excitedly, among which Ayumi said first:

"yes, yes! We all got the gems! ”

"As long as you hand in your phone and watch to participate in the game, and when you finally return it, the Tokiwa Group will give you a gem with the same value as the item you handed in. Because of this, even we got the gems......"

Mitsuhiko said this, then looked at Conan and Xiao Ai, and said with deep regret:

"It's a pity that Gray Yuan-san didn't come, and Conan didn't participate in the game......"

Speaking of Conan, Mitsuhiko deliberately glanced at Conan with a sigh.

"It's a pity that the gems I got were taken away by my dad when I got home......"

And Yuan Tai thought of the whereabouts of the gem he got and felt very helpless.

In this regard, Ayumi followed up and said:

"I gave the gem to my mother, and she said she'd give it back to me when I grew up......"

"My sister took that gem of mine and wore it......"

Listening to their words, Mitsuhiko couldn't help but say regretfully.

In this regard, listening to their words, Xiao Wai couldn't help but be stunned, and then thought that he had the "Constantin" watch that Gao Yuan gave away, if he was also participating in the game at the time, wearing that watch, would he also be able to get a gem with the same value as the watch?

For a while, Xiao Ai did feel a little regretful for a moment, but if she thought about it carefully, even if she was there at the time, it was impossible to wear that watch, it was too conspicuous......

"This probably has something to do with the previous incident."

At this time, while everyone was discussing the gift of gems on the opening night of the previous Twin Towers skyscraper, Mori Kogoro said so.

"Huh? Dad, do you know what's going on? ”

Hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help asking.

At the same time, the garden also said:

"That's right, isn't my uncle an acquaintance of Miss Tokiwa? Do you know something inside? ”

As he said this, the garden looked like he was going to listen to gossip.

And Conan also seemed a little concerned at the moment-

After all, the Tokiwa Group's previous events were related to the organization, and until now, I haven't figured anything out.

So, Conan also looked at Mori Kogoro's, waiting for Mori Kogoro to say something valuable.

In this way, in the face of Xiaolan and others' questions, Maori Kogoro didn't hide anything, but said:

"Probably the former director of the Tokiwa Group, who is called Hara...... What is the reason? ”

"Mr. Yuan Jiaming."

Hearing this surname, Conan immediately added-

Because the other party is suspected of being a member of the organization, he is very impressed.

At the same time, several other members of the juvenile detective group also seemed very concerned after hearing about Yuan Jiaming, and said:

"What's wrong with Mr. Hara? He invited us to his house to play games, but lately he hasn't been home and doesn't know where he went......"

It's a pity, because I can't play the game of the original Jiaming family anymore, Mitsuhiko said this, and Ayumi and Motota also reacted similarly.

In this regard, Xiao Ai's expression was slightly wrinkled, and she cared very much in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface-

"He's missing."

I only heard Mori Kogoro answer with some seriousness...... (End of chapter)
