"It's so high!"

"I can't see the top."

Standing in front of the entrance of the twin skyscrapers, the elementary school students looked up and sighed.

The same is true for Kaedehara, who also thinks that the two buildings in front of him are quite spectacular. It's just that the twin skyscrapers are very unlucky when they hear this kind of building, so it's better to come less.

Thinking like this, a taxi stopped not far in front of them, and under the curious eyes of everyone, Uncle Maori, Xiaolan, and Suzuki Sonoko walked down.

"Conan?"

Xiao Lan, who glanced around her surroundings, noticed the people standing nearby at a glance.

This is how the two groups of people come together.

The twin skyscrapers will be officially opened next week, and the building's owner, Mio Tokiwa, is a college student of Uncle Mori, and she specially invited Uncle Mori to come and visit.

Since Tokiwa Mio is still single, Xiaolan, who is not at ease, brought her best friend Suzuki Sonoko with her, and just happened to meet the doctor and the junior detective group who came to observe.

Ayumi and the others haven't seen Suzuki Sonoko yet, so Xiaolan helped introduce it.

In the middle of the introduction, a young and beautiful young woman walked out of the building and asked Uncle Maori:

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Kogoro Mori?"

"It's me."

"Hello, I'm the chairman's secretary. My name is Sawaguchi, and the chairman is still receiving customers, so please follow me to the showroom first. ”

The Tokiwa Foundation obviously doesn't care about the number of guests it entertains, and Uncle Mori naturally doesn't go out of his way to remind them. Touched by Uncle Maori's light, Dr. Asa took Kaedehara and the others to follow in.

"Building A here belongs to the office area," Secretary Sawaguchi said, leading the way, "and the 31st floor and above belong to the Tokiwa Foundation. The exhibition rooms are located on the second and third floors. ”

"What kind of company is the Tokiwa Group?" Standing on the escalator, Ayumi asked curiously.

"Mainly in computer software," Mitsuhiko is considered knowledgeable as a real elementary school student, "but as long as it is related to computers, he does it all in the Tokiwa Group." ”

"I remember that the Sindora company you tried to buy shares did this before?" Gray Plains, who had always fallen last, whispered to Kaede Yuan.

"Hmm." Kaedehara replied, "But there are some differences in business. ”

Sindora has been developing virtual reality games recently, and a few days ago I asked Yusaku Kudo to write the script for one of the games, and Yukiko Kudo told Kaedehara about it on the phone.

Here we were talking about something that had nothing to do with the Tokiwa Foundation, and over there I went to the exhibition room under the guidance of Secretary Sawaguchi.

In the exhibition room, there are many equipment that the Tokiwa Foundation has not yet disclosed, and everyone is dazzled by it.

A man named Jiaming Yuan, who is also the company's director and game engineer, took the group on a tour of several game devices that he had invented.

Schoolchildren soon noticed a strange machine.

"What is this?"

"Is it an amusement machine?"

"Would you like to give it a try?" Yuan Jiaming walked over, "This computer can predict facial expressions in ten years. ”

"Ten years from now?" Dr. Asasa was also curious, "That's amazing! ”

"Doctor, let's play!" Ayumi said to the doctor.

"Welcome," Yuan Jiaming gestured in an inviting gesture, "Then, please sit down." ”

The machine is shaped like a virtual game pod, and if you sit on the seat inside, you can get a picture of what it will look like ten years from now.

There are two seats.

Dr. Asasa and Ayumi sat in together, and the results came out quickly. Judging from the photos, Dr. Asasa looks almost exactly the same as he does now, ten years later, and there is no difference.

Ten years later, Ayumi is a very cute high school girl.

The next Genta and Mitsuhiko also have obvious characteristics, and they can be seen at a glance, one of them looks like gin and the other looks like vodka.

Then came Xiaolan and the garden.

The garden is like a broad lady. As for Xiaolan...

"It's so beautiful!" Ayumi, who helped retrieve the photo, sighed.

"Oh... He looks exactly like Yingli when he was younger. Uncle Maori also came over to take a look.

Conan, who came over, had a shy expression on his face.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Gray Yuan asked Kaedehara.

"No," Kaedehara replied, "Uncle Maori said that she looks exactly like Aunt Fei Yingli, who is Xiaolan's mother... I'm almost impressed. ”

Gray Plains mourned thoughtfully.

Kudo's memory is clearer than Edogawa's, and the gap is more pronounced in the parts that are more distant in time. It was something she had known before, but it still felt a little incredible.

Over there, a few people led by Suzuki Sonoko began to make fun of Xiaolan and Shinichi, and Conan stood aside with a flushed face to attract the attention of Uncle Maori, and everyone remembered that the game would continue.

"Then Conan, Kaedehara, and Ashbara are next..."

"You can only sit two people at a time, Yuantai!"

"Huh? Wouldn't there be a person who would be left alone? ”

"And Uncle Maori!"

"I don't want to see my face ten years from now," Uncle Mori refused, pulling Conan and Kaedehara by hand, "Anyway, one person can start the machine, so let these two little ghosts try it first." ”

"Hey, I-"

Conan struggled, and his appearance ten years later was undoubtedly Shinichi Kudo.

"Yes!" Xiaolan also showed expectant eyes, "I don't know if Conan and Xiaokong will still look exactly the same ten years later!" ”

"It must be your husband's appearance!" Yuanzi said, "I'm really envious, Xiaolan~"

"Garden! What are you talking about? ”

In the frolicking over there, Kaedehara was honestly pressed to the seat by Uncle Maori, and did not struggle senselessly like Conan.

He remembered that the machine would report an error here. And even if he was seen looking like ten years later, he felt that there was nothing to worry about.

After all, Conan will be the face of Shinichi Kudo just like him. It's hard to believe that a high school student becomes a child, let alone a person becomes two.

Kaedehara was quite expecting the machine to give the result.

It's a pity that soon the machine still made an error sound.

"Error?" Yuan Jiaming was a little surprised, "It's strange." ”

"Huh?" Ayumi showed a disappointed expression, "Ayumi wants to see what Conan and Kaedehara will look like when they grow up." ”

"And Gray Plains hasn't tried yet..."

"Since the machine is out of order," Gray Yuan replied casually, "then I don't have to try, right?" ”

But there's no time to continue playing. Secretary Sawaguchi, who had just answered the phone, came over and invited everyone to the venue on the 75th floor.

Everyone ended the tour and followed her to meet Mio Tokiwa.

"It's a pity," Gray Plains whispered, continuing to walk at the end, "I'd love to see what you'll look like in ten years." ”

"It's the same with Conan and I after we change back," Kaedehara replied, "Didn't you just meet the day before yesterday?" ”

"That's Edogawa, not you."

"Then we'll have to wait for next time, if we still need to test the medicine." Kaedehara replied, "Let's go, they're going to get into the elevator." ”

Obviously, they couldn't take the escalator to the 75th floor, and they went upstairs to take the VIP sightseeing elevator.

The power supply of the sightseeing elevator is not only individually controlled, but also suspended outside the building. Standing in the middle of it, you can see the scenery from the elevator, and in Ayumi's words, it's like going to heaven step by step.

The venue for the opening ceremony is being set up on the 75th floor, and it looks a little chaotic, and Mio Tokiwa is entertaining guests here.

One of them was Mio Tokiwa's painting teacher, a Japanese painter such as Kiratsu Minewater, who is famous for his paintings of Mt. Fuji.

The other is Nishitama City Councilor Oki Iwamatsu, who looks drunk and smells of alcohol.

The last one is the building's designer, Hidehiko Kazama, who is worth mentioning as a disciple of the famous architect Teiji Moriko, who tried to blow up the Corn Municipal Building.

Tokiwa Mio introduced to Uncle Maori.

The elementary school students were not interested in the socialization of adults, so they quickly started running around, and then noticed that the floor-to-ceiling windows on this floor had a complete view of Mt. Fuji.

From the floor-to-ceiling windows on the other side, you can see the top of Building B, which is a dome-like building.

"Speaking of which," looking at the scenery outside the window, Kaedehara said to the gray plain beside him, "I haven't seen you grow up yet." ”

Although she knew that Ash Hara would be Miyano Shiho when she grew up, Miyano Akemi did not leave a photo of Miyano Shiho, and Ash Hara has not yet recovered to its original appearance.

Ash Yuan looked at Kaede Yuan with some surprise.

"Pervert."

“… Why is this a pervert? ”

"Hmph," Gray Plains tilted his head away, "Mr. Detective would love to see what I look like when I grow up?" ”

"yes," Kaedehara admitted, "I really want to see it." ”

"That's... I'll have to wait for next time. ”

The two of them stood by the window and talked, and Xiaolan on the other side saw it in her eyes with a faint relief.

Although these two are just children, she still feels that the scene in front of her is quite loving...

Isn't that nice......

Xiaolan thought to herself, and then her thoughts were interrupted by a pleading voice.

Before she could get distracted, Mitsuhiko had already left the floor-to-ceiling window and came next to her.

"Sister Xiaolan," Mitsuhiko looked a little hesitant, and his voice was very low, "Actually, I have something I want to discuss with you. Can we meet tomorrow? ”

"Huh?" Xiao Lan, who was a little distracted just now, was stunned for a moment, but then reacted, "Well, it's okay!" ”

"Thank you! I'll tell you when and where it will be later. ”

Seeing Mitsuhiko the child politely bow to herself and walk away, Xiaolan was a little curious.

What does this kid want to tell me?

Anyway, Shinichi looked similar to this on that day...

Shinichi's guy left the next sentence and ran away, so she didn't know how to reply to him...

"Sister Xiaolan."

"Huh?" Xiaolan, who was interrupted again, looked down and found that this time it was the child named Ayumi.

"Sister Xiaolan," Ayumi looked a little hesitant, and her voice was very low, "I have something I want to discuss with you privately." ”
