Two days later.
Downstairs at the Maori Detective Agency, a group of people were preparing to join the gathering at the Twin Towers skyscraper.
Mouri Kogoro specially rented a car with more seats and waited downstairs, "Isn't the eldest lady from the Suzuki Zaibatsu here yet?"
"She said she has already gone out..." Mao Lilan was waiting next to the car, holding two red peony bouquets in her left and right hands that she planned to send as gifts.
In the car, Ayumi smiled and said, "It's really exciting!"
Mitsuhiko nodded, "There must be a lot of delicious food!"
"I want to eat eel rice!" Yuantai looked forward to it even more.
Mitsuhiko was speechless for a moment, "There shouldn't be such a thing..."
Conan did not get involved in the childish talk of the three children. He waited by the car and asked Haihara Ai next to him in a low voice, "Is it possible that the former special agent... is an accomplice of those men in black?"
"It's possible," Hui Yuan Ai replied in a low voice, "They have previously recruited some promising young people in the political, medical, and chemical fields."
"What about City Councilor Mr. Oki?" Conan asked.
"Although it's a bit underweight, he's still young," Haibara Ai commented, looking at Conan and saying, "No matter what, once you join the organization, death will be waiting for those who want to betray or betray them. sanctions, just like they want to kill me..."
Next to him, Dr. Ali, who was listening to the two people talking, also whispered, "So, if the murderer is one of those four people..."
He was talking about the current suspects, Mio Tokiwa, Chinami Sawaguchi, Hidehiko Kazama and Minesui Kisaragi.
"That's right," Conan said solemnly, "There is a great possibility that that guy has something to do with the organization!"
"Then don't you have a clue as to who the murderer is?" Dr. Ali asked.
"Not yet..." Conan suddenly thought of Chi Feichi and quickly deleted Chi Feichi from his mind. It was not a good thing to rely on others when encountering difficulties.
but……
Haiyuan Ai was staring at the ground with his eyes lowered, thinking about his own thoughts, when he suddenly found someone holding his shoulders and turned to look at Conan in confusion.
"Don't worry at all, they are probably not interested in people who study animal medicine." Conan joked seriously.
However, the little girl can still rely on others.
Haiyuan Ai was stunned, then realized that Conan was talking about Chi Feichi, and asked speechlessly, "Do you look down on the veterinarian?"
"No," Conan whispered, "I just want to tell you, if you want to call, just call."
"Don't make it sound like I was quarreling with him. I just miss my sister and it didn't just happen recently."
Haihara Ai retorted coldly, but she also admitted in her heart that when she could contact Chi Feichi in the past, she didn't call frequently to hear Miyano Akemi's voice.
In the past, there was still Chi Feichi who could share her recent movements. Instead of calling, she could send an email to Chi Feichi. She would not tell Miyano Akemi about her movements even if she called her.
However, after the bus incident, she wanted to slowly distance herself from Chi Feichi, so as not to cause any trouble to Chi Feichi.
As for Dr. A Li... She stayed at Dr. A Li's house, and her involvement was deep enough. There was nothing she could do about it, but Chi Feichi could still push it away a little.
As a result, she suddenly found that no one could share some of her usual things, and she was troubled and worried. The number of calls to Miyano Akemi's apartment and the duration of the calls gradually increased.
Conan and Dr. Ali caught her the night before yesterday, and they even pulled out her phone line and forcibly interrupted the call.
She could understand Conan's behavior. It was a very dangerous behavior. No one could guarantee whether the organization's people had checked into that apartment. Although she would make another call afterwards and delete the recording, what if it happened at that time? Is there anyone listening?
However, she still couldn't help but want to talk to her sister...
"Anyway, I have deleted the phone call recording from the night before yesterday," Conan said sternly, "I also recorded Miss Mingmei's voice. You can play it and talk to her yourself. There is no need to call. If If you want to find someone to share your daily life with, you can contact Chi Feichi, me, Dr. A Li, we can all do it."
Hui Yuan Ai pursed her lips and didn't explain much.
She called because she didn't want to treat Miyano Akemi as a dead person and interact with her as if she was still alive.
But it's too dangerous to call and we really can't continue.
"Fei Chi still doesn't plan to go with us today," Dr. Ali thought, "Is he having trouble? Ever since he came back from Ghana's house, he doesn't seem to go anywhere with us. The last time he was in Shuang The Tower Building also came across by chance.”
Hui Yuan Ai couldn't help but lower his head and think, is Chi Fei Chi angry?
"No," Conan said with half-moon eyes, thinking of the text message he received yesterday, "Last time he played the piano for everyone and he was very happy. That guy just doesn't know how to take the initiative... If you don't call him, he will He won’t call you, and if you ignore him, he won’t ignore you either, and he seems to really have a lot to deal with.”
Dr. Agasa was about to ask Conan why he was so sure, when he looked up and saw a girl who looked like Suzuki Sonoko walking towards him.
The reason why I say 'suspected' is because Suzuki Sonoko permed her short hair into big waves...
"Hey, I kept everyone waiting!" Suzuki Sonoko walked and raised her hand to wave.
"Yuanzi," Mao Lilan was a little surprised, "What's wrong with your hair?"
"Let's change the image. I'm perming her hair into wavy curls like her," Suzuki Sonoko looked at Haibara Ai with a smile, straightened up, and raised her hand to flip the ends of her hair, "How about it? It's similar, right?"
Conan looked up and felt as if he saw the enlarged Haihara Ai.
Suzuki Sonoko noticed Conan staring at her, bent down and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Conan hurriedly waved his hand and backed away, "No...no..."
"You must be in a daze when you see Sister Yuanzi!" Mitsuhiko in the car revealed.
"Really?" Yuanta immediately moved to the car window to look at Conan outside.
"No..." Conan scratched his head.
In the car, Ayumi pulled up the ends of her short hair and looked at it.
Conan likes curly hair? Where is Brother Chi?
Brother Chi seems to have never expressed any preferences...
How about she also try getting a wavy haircut?
"Okay, do you still want to leave?" Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but urge.
"Yes, let's go there quickly!" Mao Lilan reacted and got in the car.
Only then did Suzuki Sonoko notice the two bouquets of flowers in Mao Lilan's hand, and was a little confused, "Xiaolan, are you going to bring two bouquets of flowers?"
"No, there is a bouquet that belongs to Brother Chi. He doesn't plan to attend the opening ceremony. He asked me to help pick a bouquet of flowers to send over..." Mao Lilan explained.
"You young masters and young ladies are really in trouble." Seeing everyone getting into the car, Mouri Kogoro started the car and drove away.
"Brother Fei Chi doesn't often attend banquets. I think I've seen him at banquets two or three times since I was a child. Last time I went to attend the wedding celebration banquet of Officer Shiratori's sister, it was definitely a great honor!" Suzuki Sonoko road.
Mouri Kogoro muttered, "Mio is also my junior high school girl..."
"That's why he asked Xiaolan to help deliver flowers. The banquets held by my family before may not have been there." Suzuki Sonoko said that Chi Feichi was already very considerate.
"By the way, Yuanzi, please get it for me. I have to call Brother Feichi to tell him." Mao Lilan handed a bouquet of flowers to Lingzuki Yuanzi and took out her mobile phone to call Chi Feichi.
…
"Red peony?"
In Nishitama City, there is a building three blocks away from the Twin Towers.
Chi Feichi stood by the rooftop with a disguised face, talking on the phone with Mao Lilan, "I don't know much about these things, you just have to choose... you guys have fun..."
"drop."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Feichi put away his phone.
Yesterday, he had contacted Nobuo Ishikawa and used coercion and inducement to get Nobuo Ishikawa to take over Hara Jiaming's research and development project. Today, the only action left is to target 'Shirley'.
Gin looked at the situation near the Twin Towers with binoculars, "If it is to be sent to decorate the execution platform, red roses are better."
"bad."
Chi Feichi made a brief comment and picked up a telescope to look at the situation near the building.
Does Gin mean to tease people by giving them red roses before sending them to death?
Really bad.
"I should say this." Gin said.
Whether it is running around in front of Yuan Jiaming first, then running to the door without putting on any disguise, or sending flowers to the venue in advance, it is all quite wicked.
"I don't believe you haven't thought about red roses."
"I have thought about it," Chi Feichi stared at a group of policemen in the parking lot outside the building with binoculars. "Red roses had a very interesting meaning in ancient China... they represented assassins."
Later, the meaning of red roses became consistent with the West, representing love.
In fact, in his previous life, sometimes when he was willful, he would send a red rose to the assassination target in advance, but this time, forget it, after all, he sent the flower in his external capacity.
Whether it was given to Mio Tokiwa to celebrate the opening, or given to Shirley as a 'decoration of the execution ground' as Gin said, red roses were inappropriate and would cause misunderstanding.
Although in Japan, there is also a saying of giving red roses for the 60th birthday...
"After Jesus was betrayed and nailed to the cross, the blood dripped on the soil, and red roses grew!"
Gin said angrily, and then turned to business, "...the police have also passed by."
"After all, there was a murder, and two people died." Chi Feichi looked outside the building with a telescope. Familiar faces such as Megure Thirteen, Shiratori Rensaburo, and Takagi Wataru were all there.
"Plague God Kogoro!"
After Gin finished his evaluation, he asked again, "Who is the murderer of that case? You must have contacted all those suspects, right? Do you have any clues?"
"According to Teacher Maori, the police found a broken shot glass next to Hara's body. The murderer probably put it there specially to make the police think it was a serial murder. When Hara died, he would disappear without having time to commit the crime. Suspicion," Chi Feichi moved the telescope away. It was not good to keep staring at the group of policemen. If they were discovered, it would be troublesome. "Ruyue Fengshui... At the time of Yuan's presumed death, there happened to be a group of children at his home. , you can give him an alibi."
"Anyway, although he attracted the police here, which was a bit troublesome, it's a good thing that he attracted the police's attention..." Gin put down the binoculars.
Chi Feichi didn't use the telescope for too long. People in the Twin Towers building opposite saw that the reflection of the lenses was not very good. "You really don't need me to go to the venue to confirm?"
"No need..." Gin turned around and left the edge of the rooftop to make a phone call, "If you want to go, that's up to you."
"never mind."
Chi Feichi gave up decisively.
If Gin asked him to go to the venue to help confirm whether Shirley was there, he would go there with Mouri Kogoro and his group.
However, Gin directly asked him to gather here with a sniper rifle, making it clear that he had no intention of letting him go to the venue.
And if he knew there were a bunch of bombs in the building and still ran there, Gin would start to think: Did he just want to see Shirley in person? Or... want to go to the venue to save people?
If he brings those children out by then, Gin will basically know what they are doing, and he will pay attention to those children, and then he will target a certain lolita.
Running over now is not to save people, but to trick them.
Pretending not to care at all about the life and death of that group of people is the right choice.
