Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

After several days of busy work, Conan and others finally completed the preliminary investigation of this commission.

Looking at the information compiled one after another in the group chat, even Conan, who has experienced various dangers, even had several confrontations with black organizations, and walked on the edge of life and death several times, couldn't help but collapse. Take a breath of air.

Tulip Manor is an ancient building located in the eastern part of Kyoto City, with a construction area of ​​at least 5,000 square meters and a long history.

It sounds like the Western-style name of Tulip Manor does not match its own architectural style.

In fact, even today, most people don't know that the ancient manor is also known as Tulip Manor.

When people in Neon talk about this ancient manor, they basically only have one name.

That is Chunheju.

Tulip Manor is actually a nickname that has been circulating among the top floors of neon high-rise buildings since twenty years ago.

The reason for this name is that since twenty years ago, whenever a party is held at Chunheju, a tulip pattern will appear on the invitations of all invitees.

And, at the same time, a small sea of ​​tulips was planted in the simple and elegant Chunheju.

It is filled with tulips of various colors.

As for why this nickname is only spread among the upper echelons of Neon, it is because Chunheju has always been open only to those big shots who stand at the top of power.

Ordinary people are not even qualified to receive invitations, let alone know this nickname.

Normally, the Tulip Manor is closed, and there is no fixed time for each gathering.

However, whenever it appears, it will definitely have a big impact on the entire neon scene.

Thinking about the timing of this gathering, Conan and others realized that it was definitely closely related to the congressional election to be held on the 1st of next month.

So, the so-called failure to complete the commission will affect the future direction of Neon, most likely refers to the client behind the scenes who will kill the guests at the party on the last day of the party.

Detective Baima has already found out from his father, Director Baima, that the people who received the Tulip invitation this time are all top figures standing on the highest level of Neon.

Although not everyone can shake Neon with just a cough, they control at least 80% of Neon's wealth and resources, and any damage will inevitably affect the community where they are located. circle.

Moreover, since the influence on Neon's future direction has been mentioned, the target of the client behind the scenes is either a political figure with huge influence or a top predator in the financial circle.

Or maybe both are included.

After all, the request was to find the person who dyed the golden tulips black.

In other words, if they cannot be found, all the people listed as suspicious targets by the client will become the targets of the other party.

Conan really wanted to know the specific guest list for the tulip party, but Director Baima was very tight-lipped.

Baima probed for a long time. Apart from knowing that all the people attending the party were either rich or noble and could determine the future direction of this country, he could not get a specific list of people attending the party.

However, he found something different on the tulip invitation letter that his father, Director Baima, also received, and the invitation letter in his hand.

On the invitation letter from Director Baima, the tulip pattern signed at the end was golden.

As for the detectives who received the commission, the tulip pattern on the invitation gradually changed from golden to black.

‘Then, for those who are listed as targets of suspicion by the client, will their invitation patterns be of other colors? ’

In the chat group, Hattori Heiji made a guess.

'It's possible, but it's hard for us to verify. ’

Baima asked back.

Those are all rich and powerful people. How could they just casually show the invitation letters in their hands to a few detectives?

In the eyes of those big shots who stand at the pinnacle of power and control the lifeblood of the country, even the son of the police director's family does not have much weight in their eyes.

The rest of the people agreed very much with Detective Bai Ma's reply.

Later, the topic of the group chat turned to the surname Hatoyama signed in the commission letter.

With his super high IQ and reasoning ability, Kuroba Kaito quickly locked on a name that should be closely related to the client behind the scenes.

Kenzai Hatoyama was born into a political family. Later, under the influence and training of his family, after graduating from the Law Department of Tokyo University, he followed in the footsteps of his family and entered the political field.

With some connections from his father's generation and his own considerable political talent, Hatoyama Kenya was able to thrive in this field.

Subsequently, he lived up to his family's expectations and went smoothly. At the age of 48, he became the popular candidate in the prime minister election that year.

However, just when Kenya Hatoyama's life was about to reach its peak, the party forces behind him suddenly broke out in a shocking scandal, implicating all his family, relatives and friends.

Immediately afterwards, the Neon public who knew about this incident triggered an uproar in public opinion. Not only did the support rate fall to the bottom in an instant, it also brought huge backlash and directly made him and his family infamous.

As a result, the most unpopular candidate Miyazawa Yoshito won the prime minister election that year.

As for Hatoyama Kenya and the family forces behind him, they were directly suppressed by Yoshito Miyazawa after he became prime minister, and they had no choice but to leave politics.

It wasn't until Miyazawa Yoshito retired from the position of Prime Minister at the end of his term and the former Prime Minister Ooka Uemon took office that Hatoyama Kenya and the family behind him got a chance to breathe.

Then, relying on the party power that had not been completely broken up by Miyazawa Yoshito, he climbed back into the political arena.

However, perhaps Kenya Hatoyama's luck has been spent. Kenya Hatoyama, who had the capital to compete for the position of prime minister again two years ago, was found dead at home on the night before the election of prime minister.

After some investigation by the police, the case was finally concluded as suicide.

Because it involves politics, even if the case is ultimately concluded by suicide, all the information and documents related to the case at that time have been secretly sealed in accordance with confidentiality regulations.

If you want to look through the information, the simplest and most effective way is to ask the police to take action.

After a brief discussion, Conan, as the leader of the group chat, finally brought Yuya Kazami in.

Yuya Kazami, who had just finished fighting with a pile of documents, was a little confused at first.

After Conan and others informed him about the commission for the tulip invitation and the conclusion they had deduced so far, they directly sprayed the sip of coffee they had just taken into their mouths onto the phone screen in front of them.

It attracted the sideways glances of all the colleagues in the office.

At this moment, he didn't care that his behavior attracted the attention of his colleagues, and he hurriedly rescued the mobile phone in his hand and the computer keyboard that was affected by the sprayed coffee.

Kazami Yuya took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, carefully wiped the lenses from the inside out, then put them back on and looked at the phone screen.

The same content, the same words.

After confirming that he was not dazzled, Kazami Yuya screamed in his heart. Then, he dialed the number of his boss's boss, Kuroda Hei, as quickly as possible, and told him about the matter.

After answering the phone, Kurodabei's expression suddenly darkened.

Today is already July 25th, and there are only two days left before the party held at Tulip Manor.

Guests who are qualified to participate in this truly top-notch party have also received invitations one after another.

If you want to stop the party at this time, you will offend more than one or two people.

The day of the Prime Minister's election is just around the corner. How could this tulip party specially organized for the Prime Minister's election be canceled easily?

Kuroda, who already had the answer in mind, asked his superiors for instructions. As expected, he received a reply from the deputy director of the National Police Agency that the party would not be cancelled.

However, considering the importance of this matter, the deputy director of the National Police Agency said that he would seek instructions from above to allow the public security to participate in the security work of the party.

On the other side, I learned from my son Detective Baima that someone had paid him a deposit of 50 million in advance to complete a commission, and the client behind the scenes was very likely to treat the guests at the tulip party the day after tomorrow when his son and nine detectives failed to complete the commission. After they committed murder.

Director Baima was so shocked that he almost hugged his son's trouser legs and cried to him not to go. After some persuasion, but seeing his son's determined look, he burst into tears and at the same time reported the news. above.

After layers of reporting, the information from both parties was finally delivered to the Chief Cabinet Secretary.

After reading the two messages with similar contents, the chief cabinet secretary laughed in his heart at the fuss.

It was agreed that the Public Security Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department would each select a group of elites to participate in the security activities of the upcoming Tulip Party.

After receiving the reply, Kuroda Biewei handed over the selection of candidates to Kazami Yuya, while Director Hakuba called the heads of various departments and asked them to recommend candidates.

Explosive Ordnance Disposal Class,

Matsuda Jinpei, who was struggling with the review report in his hand, frowned and listened to his colleague's message.

While thinking about what his immediate boss, old man Kawamura, was up to, he quickly threw away the pen in his hand and the review report that he had just written a few lines on, and put the black suit jacket behind him on his shoulders. , raised his legs and walked towards the comprehensive conference room on the third floor.

Unceremoniously skipping the step of knocking on the door, Matsuda Jinpei directly pushed open the closed door of the conference room, and then saw a circle of acquaintances.

Kenji, monitor, Sato, Shiratori, Takagi, STA's Takeshi Tachibana, Masahiko Sanada...

Matsuda Jinpei's eyes passed over the familiar faces, and he felt doubtful:

What is this for?

Matsuda Jinpei, who originally thought he was here to be criticized, found out that not only did he not see his immediate boss, Kawamura Police, who had been very angry with him recently, but he also looked like he was blowing his beard and staring when he saw him.

After seeing a bunch of familiar faces, he immediately put away his stinky face and sat in the seat specially reserved for him by Hagiwara Kenji.

Director Hakuba, who had heard about the thorny captain of the explosive ordnance disposal squad, who often made the head of the security department, Police Officer Kawamura, angry, suddenly subconsciously took a second look at Matsuda Jinpei.

Knowing that this police chief was not that police chief was not Matsuda Jinpei, except that he felt a little strange, he had no other thoughts.

Seeing a group of elites from the Metropolitan Police sitting below, Director Baima was extremely satisfied and told the whole story of why he summoned them.

When he heard that they were going to participate in a party held at Haruwa House in Kyoto that would truly bring together the top figures of Neon, and perform a three-day security mission, the first thought that came to Masahiko Sanada's mind was:

Will eldest brother go? Will he meet his big brother at the party?

Thinking of his eldest brother's current status, Sanada Masahiko's heart was filled with expectations.

Of course, there are those who are looking forward to it and those who are not interested.

Listening to Director Hakuba's detailed explanation above, Matsuda Jinpei went in with his left ear and out with his right ear. Until the end of the meeting, he didn't leave much memory in his mind.

As a young tamed who grew up together, Hagiwara Kenji naturally knows this.

After the meeting, he walked naturally next to Matsuda Jinpei, summarizing the key points of the meeting and telling it to Kodome, while interspersing other topics.

The two took the elevator on the third floor, but within a few seconds, the elevator stopped on the fifth floor.

As the elevator door opened, Hagiwara Kenji walked out and waved to the young tamed dye:

"See you tonight, Xiao Zhenping."

"Humph."

Matsuda Jinpei did not respond in the same way, but a slight snort was enough to show his dissatisfaction.

"Kenji-chan promises that you won't work late today. At eight o'clock, at most, Jinpei-chan can see Kenji-chan who comes back with delicious tempura."

Knowing what Yo Tune Ran was dissatisfied with, Hagihara Kenji immediately raised his hand and swore, looking at Yo Tune Ran in the elevator with a firm face. He didn't put down his hands until the elevator door closed and walked towards his office.

Following Hagihara Kenji, Datehang and others watched the performance with calm expressions. This scene has happened countless times since Hagihara Kenji transferred to the first search class more than a month ago.

Unlike the Explosive Ordnance Disposal class, which is extremely busy when busy and panicking when free, there is basically no leisure time in Search Class.

There are new cases that may happen every moment, old cases piling up, and unsolved cases that have no clue. The busyness of the Investigation Section is one of the best among all departments in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Matsuda Jinpei, who knew that Yo Tuneran had the idea of ​​changing jobs after the riots, naturally supported it. He even argued several times with his immediate boss, Police Kawamura, who was reluctant to let him go.

However, after changing jobs, this look of working overtime to death is already comparable to the blond bastard Hiro Danna (Boss Jing) often complains about.

Are you really not afraid of dying suddenly one day?

Matsuda Jinpei, who was extremely worried, couldn't say disgusting words like Kodome, so he could only use this attitude to reduce Kodome's behavior, which was simply overdrawing his vitality and working overtime.

The elevator stopped again, this time on the ninth floor where the explosive ordnance disposal squad was located.

Matsuda Jinpei walked out of the elevator and planned to return to his previous office station and continue writing the 30,000-word review report.

Then as soon as he entered the office, he saw his immediate boss, Police Inspector Kawamura, standing next to his work station, holding in his hand a review report that he had only written a few lines of.

Seeing Jinpei Matsuda come back, Police Officer Kawamura put the review report in his hand back on Jinpei Matsuda's desk, and then said to him with a kind face:

"Matsuda, remember to hand over the review report tomorrow."

Matsuda Jinpei glared:

"Huh? Don't we have sex the day after tomorrow?"

"Don't you have to go out on duty the day after tomorrow?"

Kawamura Yuio said very considerately:

"Let's do this. Write five thousand words less. Remember to put the 25,000-word review report on my desk tomorrow."

After saying that, Kawamura Yuuo turned around and walked out of the office without giving Matsuda Jinpei a chance to refuse.

That night, Hagiwara Kenji, who came back before seven o'clock with freshly packed tempura, just entered the room and was dragged to the table by his dear Koonome before he even put down the things in his hands.

Then, holding the pen and writing diligently for several hours, Hagiwara Kenji finally filled up the 25,000 words and thought to himself without tears:

What is the difference between this and working overtime?
