"It seems that starting from today, I can finally say goodbye to the days when I can rent a car!"
Kogoro Mouri stood on the stage. Even though Mio Tokiwa had told him repeatedly that he could drive home Ford's latest convertible sports car as a prize after the banquet, Kogoro Mouri still felt a strong sense of unreality. , so much so that he began to speak incoherently when he became the final winner.
The people in the audience burst into laughter, but Mao Lilan, the daughter of the one being laughed at, just felt so embarrassed. She covered her face and said: "Dad is really..."
"Does it matter? Uncle Maori has become rich this time. It doesn't matter if he gets carried away for a while. By the way, can I take this car home?"
Suzuki Sonoko smiled and leaned her elbow on Maori Lan's arm.
"If you don't dislike Sonoko."
Mao Lilan smiled bitterly.
Her words are really not self-effacing. Suzuki Sonoko is the second daughter of the Suzuki Zaibatsu. She herself owns a pink Bentley. The family's luxury cars are probably enough to fill the entire banquet venue, and each of them is worth more than 100,000 yuan. It was far superior to Ford's latest convertible sports car. Let Suzuki Sonoko ride in the car that Mouri Kogoro had just won. To be honest, Mao Lilan felt wronged by Suzuki Sonoko.
Seeing Kogoro Mouri being proud of himself on stage after winning the "Rock, Paper, Scissors" game, Shiu Kasumigaoka, who lost, was naturally very unhappy, especially after he resigned from the stage sadly. Yan Kai's face said, "I've already helped you get here." "Senior, if you don't live up to your expectations, I really can't help it"...
So angry! Moreover, the flesh on my waist ached in vain, and I became even more angry!
She doesn't have any resentment towards Mouri Kogoro. After all, are you willing to admit defeat? Kasumigaoka Shiyu is not a person who cannot afford to lose, but for Yan Kai...
"Senior sister, you have been staring at me since just now. Do you feel that you have let down my kindness, so you feel very guilty?"
Yan Kai pushed up his glasses while looking at Kasumigaoka Shiyu calmly.
I feel so sorry for you!
The murderous aura in Kasumigaoka Shiyu's eyes became even stronger.
"Don't worry about this, I didn't contribute much anyway."
Yan Kai comforted him with kind words.
Fart, you pinched me harder just now!
If looks could kill, Yan Kai had been killed countless times by Kasumigaoka Shiyu's looks.
"But to be honest, maybe for senior, an off-road mountain bike is more suitable for you. In the future, you will use a bicycle instead of taking the bus when you go to school. Maybe in one year, senior, you can lose a lot of weight!"
Yan Kai spoke slowly and sarcastically.
Damn it, I can't bear it anymore!
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was furious and stepped on Yan Kai's toes. Yan Kai quickly took his foot back. The heel of Kasumigaoka Shiyu's high-heeled shoes fell on the carpet and broke with a "click".
"Damn, nothing good will happen today..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked down at her favorite shoes and said with a sad face.
After the "Guess for Thirty Seconds" game officially ended, the opening ceremony quickly entered the next stage. A large screen was lowered from the banquet hall, and the paintings of Kisaragi Hosui, the painting teacher of Joban Group President Mio Joban, began to play on it.
Kisaragi Hosui, who is famous for his paintings of Mount Fuji, is a Japanese national treasure-level master of Japanese painting. Each of his paintings can be bought for a sky-high price outside. Appreciate the best Japanese paintings of contemporary paintings of Mount Fuji at a place where you can enjoy the most beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji. The master's painting of Mount Fuji, I have to say, is indeed a very interesting thing.
"...Mr. Kisaragi is particularly fond of Mount Fuji. He has spent more than thirty years painting the majesty of Mount Fuji. This time, in order to celebrate the completion of the twin skyscrapers of his student Mio Tokiwa, he specially included a pair of his ’s new work!”
While everyone was admiring the painting of Mount Fuji with its peaks and waters like the moon, the host introduced it on the stage.
While everyone else was focusing on the big screen on the other side, Yan Kai looked at the curtain behind the host with doubtful eyes.
Could this be...
Busujima Saeko also heard some strange sounds. She looked at the place where the sounds came from, which was the curtain behind the host.
Seeing that Yan Kai was looking there like her, Busujima Saeko couldn't help but ask Yan Kai, "Kai-kun, do you also feel what is behind that curtain?"
She seemed to vaguely hear some painful sounds.
"Well, it's President Tokiwa who is doing some big work."
Yan Kai nodded slightly.
He had actually noticed what was happening behind the curtain, but he didn't think it was anything strange, so he didn't try to stop it.
When Busujima Saeko heard what Yan Kai said, he put aside his doubts.
Since Yan Kai said he was doing some big work, Busujima Saeko naturally regarded it as a fixed program of the opening ceremony and secretly looked forward to it.
After everyone admired the painting of Kisaragi Mount Fuji for a while, the host continued: "...let me introduce to you this new work of Kisaragi-sensei!"
After the host finished speaking, the big screen showing the painting of Mount Fuji went out, and at the same time he raised his hand to focus everyone's attention behind him, or to be precise, the curtain behind him.
The curtain slowly opened, and the lights of the banquet hall were all concentrated on the place behind the curtain the moment it was completely opened.
"ah!"
The expectant guests all changed their faces after seeing what was happening behind the scenes, showing frightened expressions. When the host saw the strange expressions of the guests, he couldn't help but turn his head and look behind him, and then he was also shocked and threw his hands. The microphone on the phone almost fell to the ground.
This is of course not because of the hell-like scene painted by Ruyue Fengshui, a master of Japanese painting who is a Japanese national treasure, but because behind the curtain, apart from a giant painting of Mount Fuji, a figure was hung vertically in front of Mount Fuji. Mount Fuji in the painting is divided into two, and the figure is none other than Mio Tokiwa, the chairman of the Joban Group, who had just presented the award to Kogoro Mori with great joy!
Yakushiji Ryoko reacted immediately. Wearing high heels, she ran very fast. She passed Mouri Kogoro, who also reacted and wanted to do something, and ran to the front of the stage. Then she jumped up and jumped on the stage to face the bewildered person. Sawaguchi Chi Nami ordered loudly: "Hurry up and put the people down! Also, pull up the curtain!"
"Yes Yes!"
At this time, Sawaguchi knew that Nami had no master. After hearing Yakushiji Ryoko's order, he immediately followed it and operated on the operating table, putting Mio Tokiwa down and closing the curtain at the same time.
After Mio Tokiwa fell, Ryoko Yakushiji immediately stepped forward to check, and then slowly laid the person flat on the ground - Mio Tokiwa, who had just been celebrating the 30th anniversary of the founding of Tokiwa Group, had completely died at this time. She cannot die anymore. The anniversary of the founding of the Tokiwa Group will also be the anniversary of her death, Mio Tokiwa.
After putting Mio Tokiwa down, Yakushiji Ryoko immediately took out his mobile phone: "Something happened, don't wait down there, come up quickly!"
Previously, because of Mio Tokiwa's repeated obstruction, the Metropolitan Police Department could not dispatch police officers. Yakushiji Ryoko could only enter the venue as a guest, while other police officers were on standby downstairs.
Now that Tokiwa Mio is dead, no one can stop the Metropolitan Police Department from entering, but Yakushiji Ryoko cannot be happy.
Wasn't she regretting the death of Mio Tokiwa, a profit-seeking capitalist who died when he died? Would she, Ryoko Yakushiji, care about this? It’s just that someone actually dared to kill someone in front of her, Yakushiji Ryoko. Okay, that’s great. It hit her, Yakushiji Ryoko, in the face. That’s great!
Yakushiji Ryoko, who regarded this murder as a provocation to herself, smiled. This smile made Kagura tremble who was following Yakushiji Ryoko.
Mom, the people in Japan are so scary!
Because the Metropolitan Police Department was originally on standby downstairs, the police quickly arrived at the banquet venue and protected the murder scene behind the curtain.
Maori Lan is a famous "beautiful girl detective", and Maori Kogoro is a police officer in the Investigation Section of the Metropolitan Police Department. All three of them entered the murder scene and assisted Yakushiji Ryoko in the investigation.
The guests other than them were kept as suspects and witnesses of the murder and were not allowed to leave the banquet hall.
The people were still the same people, but the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere of the banquet hall was gone. All the guests looked nervous and frightened. After all, just now, in front of their eyes, a living person was killed!
This is Nishitama City, not Yoneka Town, a place with outstanding people. Most people here have never experienced a murder in their lives, so naturally many people are scared.
The same is true for Kasumigaoka Shiyu. Although she has a good relationship with Mao Lilan and the "Young Death Group", the most Kasumigaoka Shiyu can do is listen to them talk about the murder case. This is the first time she has seen someone killed in front of her. once.
A living life disappeared in front of her eyes, especially since she had been in contact with Tokiwa Mio before. Tokiwa Mio had been the referee for her and Mouri Kogoro's guessing game. A person who had just talked to her suddenly disappeared. This made Kasumigaoka Shiyu suddenly feel a strong uneasiness in her heart. She subconsciously leaned towards Yan Kai. Only by getting closer to Yan Kai could she dispel this uneasiness.
But the strong Kasumigaoka Shiyu obviously didn't want Yan Kai to think that she was afraid because of her behavior, so she tried her best and said: "Junior, it's just a dead person, don't be afraid."
Then she felt that just saying this to Yan Kai seemed like she cared about Yan Kai particularly, so she said to Busujima Saeko and Rei: "Saeko, Rei, don't be afraid either."
"Shiyu, thank you for your concern."
A certain murderer who has become an urban legend smiled.
"Teacher Shiyu, Saeko's mother will protect Ling, Ling is not afraid!"
The leader of a "young detective team" who almost always encounters a murder case when he goes out with his friends has a sweet voice.
"Senior, I'm not scared anymore, but I feel like you're shaking a little bit."
Yan Kai looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu who was trembling slightly and said.
"Shut up, the air-conditioning in the venue is too high, it's freezing!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu said angrily.
Very good. After being stimulated by Yan Kai, Kasumigaoka Shiyu was no longer afraid for an instant.
Busujima Saeko looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu's brave face and smiled. Then she remembered something and turned to look at Yan Kai: "Kai-kun, let's put it this way, what I heard just now is indeed..."
Just when the big screen was showing the painting of Mount Fuji, Kisaragi Hosui, she heard some painful sounds coming from behind the curtain. Yan Kai said that this was Mio Tokiwa doing a "big job", and Busushima Saeko believed it at that time. According to Yan Kai, Busujima Saeko never expected that Mio Tokiwa was indeed doing a lot of work, even to the point of destroying herself.
"Um."
Yan Kai nodded silently.
"Junior, what do you and Saeko mean?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at Yan Kai and Busujima Saeko with confusion.
"It's nothing. Saeko and I just heard some sounds, which should be the sounds made when President Tokiwa was hanged."
Yan Kai said to Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu.
"Ah!" Kasumigaoka Shiyu exclaimed, then quickly covered his mouth, while looking around. Fortunately, no one in the venue was paying attention to the surroundings, so Kasumigaoka Shiyu's exclamation did not attract the attention of others.
After Kasumigaoka Shiyu saw that no one was paying attention here, she lowered her voice and said to Yan Kai: "Junior, why didn't you say anything then?"
"Well..." Yan Kai thought for a while, "I thought it was President Tokiwa's impromptu performance, so I didn't say anything."
"..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but growl: "God is impromptu, hanging himself up, what kind of impromptu performance is this?"
Yan Kai said with emotion: "The capitalist acted out being hanged to warn capitalists like her not to be too capitalist. This is such a warning thing. Even President Tokiwa is willing to risk his own life." She has put on such a great performance, so what reason do I have to stop her!"
"..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at Yan Kai dumbfounded.
How could this Central Plains man say such things in such a sacred way?
…………………………
Outside the Twin Skyscrapers, Gin observed police officers pouring into the building through binoculars, and immediately frowned.
"What's going on? Did that guy from Belmode make some noise?"
Gin murmured to himself.
"Brother, I don't know!"
Vodka said blankly.
Nonsense, of course I know you don’t know, and I didn’t even ask you!
Ginjiu glanced at Vodka coldly, but Vodka had long been accustomed to Ginjiu's cold eyes. Even if Ginjiu looked at him like this, he would have no reaction.
"..."
Gin remained silent and continued to focus on the twin skyscrapers.
Although Belmode said that she should leave the matter to her, Gin always only believed in herself. If Belmode handled the matter well, then it would be best, but if it went wrong, Gin would also be able to remedy the situation. plan.
Touching the detonator in his arms, Gin said silently, Belmod, you'd better not force me to go to this step.
