Twin Towers skyscraper, ascend to the observation elevator on the top floor.
Mouri Kogoro still closed his eyes tightly, not daring to peek at the sunset outside.
"It's so beautiful!" The three children were standing by, admiring the red fire clouds.
Parking lot at the foot of the building.
A white Toyota Premio is parked here.
Megure Thirteen, Shiratori Rensaburo, Takagi Wataru, and Chiba Kazanobu, are all ready to take action at any time.
"Police department, why don't we go to the banquet hall too!" Takagi Wataru suggested: "Otherwise, if a third victim appears..."
"No," Megure Shisan shook his head helplessly: "Miss Tokiwa doesn't want the police to show up at the banquet, and we can't forcefully violate her wishes."
"Now, we can only pray that nothing happens..."
After Officer Shiratori finished speaking, he saw a young man wearing a black dress, who seemed to be holding something in his hand, walking towards them.
Is it... Mr. Ye?
"Eh? Brother Gengyi!" Mumu Shisan had a good look in his eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work," Ye Gengyi greeted and handed the two bags of coffee and burgers he was carrying to Takagi Wataru. "The banquet will be held until at least 10 o'clock. Let's eat something first."
"Thank you so much!" Mumu Shisan felt warm in his heart.
He thought to himself: Although brother Gengyi usually has a poisonous mouth and is cold, I never expected that he would come to give them food at this time!
but...
"How did you know we were here?" Mumu Shisan was confused.
He was just out of curiosity and had no other meaning.
"Look at the elevator." Ye Geng pointed towards the building.
"Oh..." Mumu Shisan suddenly realized.
On the side, Officer Shiratiao said: "Looking at Mr. Ye's attire, you must be preparing to attend today's banquet, right?"
"Yeah. I just happened to be invited." Ye Gengyi said.
When Mumu Shisan heard this, he was even more moved.
What a good brother!
Officer Shiratiao hesitated for a moment and said: "Although this request may be a bit excessive... but can you please help Mr. Ye keep an eye on the four suspects during the banquet? If anything unusual is found, please report it immediately Contact us.”
"Sorry, I'm not very good at this kind of thing..." Ye Gengyi said.
"Uh... it's really difficult." Officer Shiratori didn't insist.
After all, there is no benefit in doing this kind of thing for them. If you are discovered, it will offend people... let alone at a banquet where guests gather.
"No, I mean that we can convey this matter to Mr. Maoli and then assist him from the side." Ye Geng said.
Officer Shiratori's eyes lit up, "Really? That's great!"
"Brother Maori is unreliable..."
Megure Thirteen was eating a hamburger and noticed the looks from the three companions, and quickly added, "Ahem... I mean the usual Maori guys, but if you fall asleep, you won't be able to help keep track of them."
White Bird: "..."
Police Department, please stop explaining. The more you describe, the darker it gets...
...
75th floor banquet hall.
A tool man is performing the arduous task before going to bed - eating.
"Caviar paired with foie gras and roast duck. Oops, I can't stand it anymore..."
"Mr. Maoli's appetite is really good." Ye Gengyi, who returned here, stood behind him.
"Ouch! Genichi, you came just in time!" Mouri Kogoro was in high spirits, "How about you drive the car when you go back and let me have a couple of drinks?"
"Compared to that, I just met the Mumu Police Department and he was worried that someone would choose to take action at the banquet tonight." Ye Gengyi said.
"Of course I know this."
Mouri Kogoro patted his chest hard, "Don't worry, with my famous detective Moori Kogoro here, there will definitely be no problem."
"That's good."
Ye Geng nodded noncommittally.
Looking around the venue.
On the observation deck where the sunset was setting, many guests were admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window.
Nearby, in front of two display stands.
A mountain bike and a red convertible trot are displayed respectively.
At this time, on the roof of a high-rise apartment opposite the twin skyscrapers.
At Gin's feet lay an unassembled rifle.
He held the scope in one hand and was observing the elevator that was said to be able to go directly to heaven.
A red laser nailed the bricks in front of him.
Vodka’s report came from the headphones:
"Brother, 742.53 yards, southwest wind, level 3. According to the drawings and calculations, the elevator's lifting speed is 2.63 meters per second. The observation elevator has no stops except for the 66th floor."
"I know," Gin lit a cigarette, "just wait."
...
Ballroom.
Suddenly half of the lights in the venue went out.
Wearing a black low-cut dress, Mio Tokiwa slowly walked to the center of the stage under the spotlight.
"Thank you very much for coming to attend the opening ceremony of Tokiwa Group's twin tower skyscraper today."
The surroundings gradually became quiet.
"Before that, I would like to ask you to play a little game."
On the stage, Mio Tokiwa said with a smile: "This game is taken from the name of my late father Tokiwa Kanejo. It is also to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Tokiwa Group. I want to play a guessing time, which is a 30-second guessing game. .”
"Ha ha..."
"Chairman Tokiwa is really funny."
"Hey, I happen to be wearing a watch."
Some of the guests in the audience started to boo, chatting and laughing... as if they were not interested in this childish-sounding game.
Mio Tokiwa was still smiling, and after the scene became a little quieter, he continued to announce the rules of the game: "The person who guessed is absolutely correct, or is the closest person, this red high-end sports car will be given to you as a gift for you to drive home. ..However, if two people guess correctly, it will be decided by guessing, and the loser will have to make do with it and ride back the off-road vehicle that comes with a helmet."
What? !
Although some people were still laughing, most people's expressions had changed.
"I really don't understand what she is doing..."
Suzuki Sonoko didn't know when she came to Ye Gengyi's side, and muttered: "I don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality. I understand this truth. Doing this kind of show at a banquet will make some guests very unhappy. .”
When Ye Geng heard this, he couldn't help but look at the young lady.
Although this is not a hard-to-understand truth, but... coming from Yuanzi's mouth, it still feels a bit inconsistent. Could it be that his hair style has been changed and his IQ has improved?
"Those who want to participate in the game, please leave your watch with the staff. Later, we will give you a gem of equal value according to the value of your watch. Of course, the watch will be returned to you after the game. Oh." Tokiwa Mio playfully winked at the audience, and this time almost everyone smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
"Oh? There is also this skill," Suzuki Sonoko was surprised, "No wonder my mother said this woman is very extraordinary."
She muttered and turned her head, and saw Ye Gengyi staring curiously at her wrist.
"Uh...Brother Gengyi?"
"How much does your watch cost?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"I don't know," Suzuki Sonoko said, "I remember this watch. It should be a birthday gift from my dad last year."
"Well, let's take it." Ye Gengyi muttered.
ah?
Suzuki Sonoko didn't hear clearly.
The next second, she saw Ye Gengyi take out a bright silver watch that was the same as hers in both size and style from his pocket, and put it directly into the staff's basket.
"Eh? Brother Gengyi, this is..."
"My friend gave it to me for my birthday last year." Ye Gengyi was perfunctory.
"oh..."
Suzuki Sonoko blinked.
friend? However, this should be a women's watch...
