It was already dawn when Kuroki Ren returned home after tossing his way again. Without sleepiness, he was thinking about what Jacobs said when he left for the last time.
Finally, he concluded: Emotions are really deadly poison.
When I first met Jacobs, he was flamboyant and not afraid of anyone. He would do whatever it took to achieve his goals. He once caused internal strife in the operations department he was in charge of, but he himself wanted to reap the benefits.
When they met again, because he had enemies inside, he began to let go of his pride and look for external help, as if nothing happened before.
Kuroki Jin thinks he can't do this. He is very thoughtful, thinks twice before doing anything, and rarely acts impulsively. On the other hand, Jacobs can go all out to achieve his goal, but he can also tolerate it and hide his weakness.
In fact, until now, Kuroki Jin still doesn't know whether Jacobs really likes Judy and wants to do something for her, or whether he is simply using this incident as a hook to achieve his other goals. He can only say that the hearts of these people who are playing tricks are too dirty.
Including gin.
Grange's connections in the trading department are not at all small. Even when the boss wants to collect the organization's financial resources, he has to take care of his old man's emotions. In this matter, Grange obviously did not want his only son to be involved in it any more. Before Kuroki Jin arrived, he may have forced Gin to give the order to kill.
Gin delayed for a while on the pretext of summoning him to ask about specific matters, and then asked him to take the lead in proposing a second, better solution, which was also the best solution in Gin's heart, thwarting Grange's intention.
Grange... will probably have funds stuck in the Operations Department.
If there is no money in the trading department, there will be more money, and the money allocated to the organization will be transferred to the logistics department, which will then allocate and schedule it to each department. As for the logistics department, that is Rum's territory, and Rum is currently secretly fighting with Gin for the rights of the trading department, so naturally he will not side with Kuroki Ren.
Grange, who would have been on Gin's side, would probably have some opinions on Gin's side after being treated like this. Kuroki Jin could only say that Pisk's move was really good, whether he thought of it or someone supported it.
Unfortunately, compared with Gin, who possesses absolute force and decision-making power, the battles within the trading department are still a bit minor.
Kuroki Ren didn't pay too much attention to what was going on here. What he had to do now was to calm down and wait, waiting for the opportunity that Belmod said, and waiting for Belmod's next move.
February 18th, the last day before winter vacation, was the day when Didan Primary School held a garden party.
Kuroki Jin heard Mitsuhiko and others mention it before, saying that when they were filming the play script to be performed at the garden party, they happened to encounter the police chasing the robbers, and their young detective team also helped to clear the suspect's innocence.
So the script of Masked Superman that was originally going to be staged became the police catching the thief.
Kuroki Ren was naturally invited and came to Didan Primary School as a parent, ready to watch the children's performance.
Not only the juvenile detective team, but also several children adopted by Jiangcheng Dahe, as well as the newly joined Takata Ai. Except for the youngest Sugawara Masama who has not yet entered elementary school, the others all attend Teitan Elementary School.
Naturally, Jiang Chengdahe was also among those invited.
Compared with high school, everyone already has the ability to do things by themselves. Students in elementary school have many fewer tricks, especially the first and second grade children.
Sugitani Akira's fourth-year class A made a haunted house, but only fifth- and sixth-grade classes had various stalls. Compared with the snack stalls that can be seen everywhere at high school garden parties, there were more various performances here.
Students in the first and second grades usually perform performances. The performances start in the morning and continue in the afternoon. The repertoire is very closely connected.
The performance of the Young Detective Team was near noon. Because the detailed files of the Metropolitan Police Department could not be leaked, they could only adapt them based on the framework of the original case.
Holding an octopus ball in one hand and a glass of Coke in the other, Kuroki Jin found a suitable place to sit down and watch the show.
The moment he sat down, he thought: There must be no more cases this time!
The lights in the venue gradually went out, the stage was filled with light, and accompanied by compact music, the performance officially began.
Most of the scripts in other classes are adaptations of various fairy tales, or the popular Masked Superman series, which are fine for the children themselves, but seem a bit boring in the eyes of their parents.
Therefore, when Class B of the first year came to the stage with the script "Only Justice Will Always Be Delivered", it really woke up some parents from their predicament.
Genta plays the role of Megure, who only needs to be responsible for issuing some orders behind the scenes, while the roles of the two police officers representing Takagi and Sato who are on the front line are taken by Conan and Haibara Ai.
Originally, Haibara Ai didn't want to participate. She only had to stand aside and play a small role with only two lines. However, both Ayumi and other classmates said that the role was designed to be very close to her. Even Conan tried to persuade her like this after he finally revised the script.
Especially the scene where he shoots with a gun...the images that filled Conan's mind when he was writing the script can be called a reappearance of the psychological shadow.
Kuroki Jin in the audience watched with great interest, and the originally relatively empty seats gradually filled up with people. When the plot reached the climax of the reasoning, the people around him interrupted his interest.
"If you put Mr. Ruomu in such a conspicuous position, it might be difficult for him to deliver news to us."
Kuroki Ren stared at the stage, but replied: "How to say it."
"Someone will stare at him." The people around him seemed dissatisfied with his attitude and kicked his shiny leather shoes. "Seriously, you are overthinking it."
"Just keep an eye on me." Heimuren turned around helplessly, "When did Brother Dahe become so timid? It turns out that he has nothing to fear from that group of people."
Jiang Chengdahe's expression froze slightly, but he looked towards the audience.
Takeuchi Yumasa, a patient with social anxiety, is trying his best to speak loudly. He plays the role of the ultimate murderer and is making his final argument.
"Are you going to meet those children later?" He did not continue the previous topic, but the question he raised made Kuroki Ren hesitate.
"No." Kuroki Jin thought for a moment and then said, "Xiaoyu and the others, I don't want anyone to notice them yet."
Jiang Chengdahe nodded slightly, no longer watching the ending scene, but got up and left, hiding in the darkness and not knowing where he went.
Kuroki Jin applauded the perfect stage and waved to the people on stage for the curtain call.
He glanced at several people in turn, and finally his eyes briefly paused on Hui Yuan Ai, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The person played by Ai Haihara just now looks very much like Officer Sato, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that he is not. At the end, after Conan arrested Mitsuhiko and brought him to justice, Haibara Ai stood behind them and showed a mysterious smile, leaving a little suspense in the play.
The character itself is also righteous and somewhat mysterious, which is very similar to Haibara Ai's unique personal style.
Even Kuroki Jin is now wondering whether the design of the last scene was her own idea, or whether it was improvised.
If it is true...
Then does she have the talent to be an actress? Do you want him and Belmode to recommend it?
Kuroki Ren's brain circuit deviated from the original route again.
