Detective Conan: Beika Town's Complete Transformation into Los Santos

Page 62

Conan, who was standing beside him, was a little puzzled and muttered to himself:

"Although it is indeed hot, and Uncle Mori is somewhat famous, he shouldn't be so nervous that his palms are sweating. This guy is not some ordinary person who has never seen the world."

"And what exactly is he looking for?"

"In addition... the atmosphere in the building is also strange. Everyone seems to be getting along well, but in reality, there is worry between their brows."

"In terms of security personnel alone, the scale here is too high. I saw nearly 10 people."

Conan was certain that something must have happened in the building—since there was no news while camping, he was unaware of what was going on here.

The elevator arrived at the 2nd floor.

The machine that Hara Yoshiaki mentioned, which could predict what someone would look like ten years from now, attracted everyone's attention.

Kogoro Mouri's mind wasn't on the experience at all; he just kept checking the time.

This action made Conan's expression even more serious, and he couldn't help but pull Hara Yoshiaki aside and ask, "Uncle, has something bad happened in this building?"

Hara Yoshiaki's eyes widened slightly. "You don't know? This... never mind, it's better for children not to know about these things."

While the two were talking, Ayumi's photo was already out.

Conan had no choice but to give up when he realized he couldn't get an answer.

Yuan Jiaming finally spotted Lin Che again. He quietly gestured to indicate that he was not available at the moment and would talk to him later.

Lin Che nodded briefly in response and then disappeared again.

We can put this aside for now and go study the swimming pool first.

Just as he reached the elevator, Tokiwa Mio, dressed in a red dress and looking nervous, came out and waved to him.

"Perfect timing, come here for a moment, I need to take care of something with you."

Tsk.

This is too unfortunate.

Lin Che had no choice but to nod and follow.

then,

Yuan Jiaming's relaxed mood immediately jumped back into his throat.

Tokiwa Mio strode towards Mouri Kogoro.

Lin Che stood right next to her.

In Yuan Jiaming's view, Lin Che's expression was nothing short of sinister.

But in reality, Lin Che didn't make any expression at all.

Chapter 75 The Organization Sends People

The meeting naturally began with polite greetings.

After finishing her rambling, Tokiwa Mio quickly got to the point, her tone pleading, "Mori-senpai, I'm really troubling you this time, please be sure to help me with this."

Kogoro Mouri also looked serious, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

The conversation between the two naturally attracted Conan's attention.

Conan looked up curiously, "Uncle, what happened?"

Boom-!

The bumbling detective delivered a powerful punch to Conan, showering him with a large bag of cash. "When did you get here?!"

He snorted and waved to Ran Mouri, "Get this brat away from me right now, I need to get to work."

Ran Mouri rarely saw her father serious, so she came over apologetically and pulled Conan away.

Tokiwa Mio then greeted Ran Mouri and made way for her, saying, "Let's hurry up and go. Ran and the others can play here for a while."

Come and go in a hurry.

Lin Che was completely baffled as to what kind of role Tokiwa Mio had given him.

He was neither introduced nor assigned any tasks.

It seems his only job was to follow along.

After entering the elevator, Tokiwa Mio told Kogoro Mouri everything she knew and everything the police had deduced.

The bumbling detective frowned and pondered the whole time, finally asking just as the elevator doors opened, "Is it your business rival who's sabotaging this?"

"I've had the same suspicion, but I always felt that very few people would resort to such underhanded tactics." Tokiwa Mio was the first to step out of the elevator.

"Very few, so that means there are some?"

"this......"

After thinking for a moment, Tokiwa Mio leaned close to Kogoro Mouri's ear and whispered, "I suspect it's City Councilor Oki Iwamatsu, but I really can't be sure."

At this moment, Conan suddenly spoke up: "How could it be done by a business rival? There were bullet holes at the scene, and there are obvious signs of a struggle."

"This looks like a gang fight. What we need to figure out is who the two sides are and why they chose to fight here."

Conan continued, "Since the location is on the 45th floor and all the security guards were drugged, we can rule out that the two groups of people broke in by accident."

"They must have had their own reasons for coming to this building; it's possible they met by chance and then a conflict broke out."

"Aunt Mio, what exactly is in this building that people are eyeing?"

The silence was deafening.

Kogoro Mouri realized what was happening and pretended to give Conan another serious punch, but Conan dodged it with his agile movements.

"Uncle!" Conan's childish voice rang out, "Am I right? The investigation should focus on these two points."

"Cough cough..." The bumbling detective cleared his throat as usual. "Indeed, are there any valuables in this building?"

Tokiwa Mio shook her head helplessly. "Yes, quite a few, but nothing was stolen except for a few mops. That's why it's hard to figure out what these people are after."

“There was no financial loss, but the Tokiwa Group will be greatly affected, which is why they suspect it is a competitor.”

Conan suddenly looked at Lin Che, "Uncle, you don't know anything?"

Lin Che didn't expect to be asked a question. "I don't work the night shift."

Conan has successfully taken control of the situation, and he will no longer be expelled.

After wandering around the scene for a while, Inspector Megure suddenly appeared with Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato.

Lin Che's initial target, Ooki Iwatsu, also followed.

“Miss Mio,” said Oki Iwamatsu, his belly large and his face cold, “I never expected you to choose to seek help from a detective.”

"But this is also a good method, as long as you can handle this crisis."

"The twin towers must be put into use without all rumors and slander, otherwise I'll be in big trouble."

Lust is lust.

If this project falls through, he, as the person directly in charge of approving it, will be held responsible, which will significantly impact his career.

He still has several years before retirement and is still thinking about climbing the ranks further.

In the face of power and status, everything else must give way!

Tokiwa Mio bit her lip, unsure of what to say, and timidly leaned closer to Lin Che.

She was the one who felt most wronged.

She had given everything, but the key project ran into problems at the most crucial moment. Not only could all her efforts be in vain, but she also had to bear the enormous pressure of the project's failure.

Kogoro Mouri tried to smooth things over, with Inspector Megure and the others providing support from the sidelines, while Conan buried his head in thought.

A new round of discussions has begun.

Lin Che was truly an outsider this time, standing to the side like he wasn't there.

He finally understood why he had come along: to be Tokiwa Mio's temporary bodyguard, providing her with a semblance of security.

......

downstairs.

Ran Mouri was very anxious because Conan had run away again while she wasn't paying attention.

Sonoko Suzuki then dragged her along to experience the "Time Camera" as well.

Hara Yoshiaki began to doubt his own eyes, because he saw that the place where Rye Whiskey had stood was now occupied by another member of the organization.

What the hell? !

Seeing that the other person was staring at him coldly and wouldn't leave no matter how he gestured, he had no choice but to apologize to Professor Agasa and turn to leave.

With him gone, Ai Haibara was finally able to catch her breath and stepped out from behind Professor Agasa.

The scent of an organization!

The little girl was absolutely certain that she wasn't mistaken!

However, this feeling did not exist in Hara Yoshiaki.

So, does this Mr. Yuan have any connection with the organization?

"Ai, what's wrong with you...?" Professor Agasa asked with concern.

Ai Haibara shook her head first, then quickly said, "Doctor, I think I sensed an organized group of people nearby."

"What?!" Dr. Agasa rushed to look.

Ai Haibara quickly grabbed him, "There aren't any left now, and don't be so obvious, you'll easily attract attention."

Dr. Agasa felt a pang of sympathy. "Then I'd better hurry up and inform Shinichi."

Ai Haibara thought about it but ultimately didn't stop it.

Now that the organization has gotten close enough, she has no reason not to let Edogawa know.

Outside the exhibition hall.

Inside the emergency exit.

Gin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "You seem different from yesterday. You seem more confident."

Have it?

Yuan Jiaming subconsciously looked down at his feet, then looked up and asked, "I'm very busy right now. What do you need me for?"

Gin's eyes narrowed instantly, but he held back. "Where's the information I asked for?"

Hara Yoshiaki shook his head. "There is no new progress at the moment."

His inner world is quite rich.

You need the hell for information!

The rye whiskey told me everything, and the vodka personally led the team there that night.

Although it wasn't said outright, this whole thing was probably orchestrated by the organization.

You're asking me this now?

The already quiet emergency exit became even more silent.

A few breaths later, Gin suddenly pulled out a pistol and pressed the muzzle firmly against Hara Yoshiaki's forehead.

"Since there's no progress, you don't need to keep investigating."

"Don't think I don't know about the little tricks you've been secretly playing."

"Tell me, is the organizational data you stole stored on the main computer in this building?"

Hara Yoshiaki was caught off guard when Gin suddenly pulled out a gun.

However, he had the courage given to him by Lin Che, and stubbornly argued, "I did not betray the organization."

Gin was so angry he laughed. "I have solid evidence. It's better to be honest than to argue."

Hara Yoshiaki's expression changed. "I...I work for rye whiskey."

"Who?!?" Gin's perpetually cold face was filled with shock. "Say that again!"
