The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 119 Countdown to Heaven 4

On the other side, Uncle Mouri and Professor Agasa surrounded Mouri Ran, looked at the photo in her hand, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"She looks exactly like Eri when she was young." Uncle Maori said, touching his chin.

Dr. Agasa smiled and stabbed Conan who was blushing beside him: "It's a pity to be with Shinichi."

When Suzuki Sonoko heard the noise here, she also ran over to take a look at the photo of Mouri Ran.

"You're really pretty. It makes me angry to think that the person with you is Shinichi."

Mao Lilan blushed slightly and said to Suzuki Sonoko: "What are you talking about, Sonoko!"

Suzuki Sonoko laughed for a while.

Conan on the side gave two dry laughs that were heartbreaking.

As the leader of the Junior Detective Team, Genta still hasn't forgotten his own members: "Then the next ones are Conan, Huibara, and Xiaoguang."

"Huh?" He looked around and did not see Chiyoko. He only saw Haibara Ai standing alone in front of the machine, thinking.

"Hey, Haibara!" He shouted to Haibara.

Huiyuan Ai didn't even turn her head and gently raised her hand: "I don't need it."

Conan quickly agreed: "I give up too."

Just kidding, if this camera takes a picture of him ten years later, it will definitely be a Kudo Shinichi appearance...

Haibara Ai had a similar idea in her mind. If she left a photo of "Miyano Shiho" in this machine, it would likely attract people from the organization, and then they would be able to find their whereabouts with a simple check.

It will bring danger to others.

However, the two of them put aside their secret complaints for the time being. Uncle Maori didn't care about the children's thoughts. He just grabbed Conan's collar and picked him up, and threw him on the seat like a kitten.

"I'd like to see what you'll look like in ten years."

"Hey hey..." Conan struggled, but it was useless.

By the time he reacted, Haibara Ai was pushed to her seat by Mitsuhiko and Genta.

"Come on, Huibara!"

"You guys...wait!"

Before the two could escape from their seats, the machine was activated and the helmet-mounted camera was lowered and put on them.

It's over, something big is going to happen!

Conan's heart started to panic and he couldn't help but look uneasy.

"I wonder what Conan will look like in the future?" Ran Mouri said expectantly while looking at the photo.

"Maybe he looks similar to your husband. After all, they give me a very similar feeling." Suzuki Sonoko joked.

Dr. Agasa didn't know what to do and scratched his poor hair anxiously.

Chiyoko, who had been missing before, walked out from behind him, patted Dr. Agasa on the back calmly, took out a bubble gum from her pocket and threw it into her mouth, saying vaguely, "Don't worry, Dr. Agasa."

As the beam of light flashed, there were two crisp shutter sounds.

drop--

drop--

Unlike the previous times, this time the machine did not drop the photo cleanly, but instead issued a shrill alarm.

The bright red word "ERROR" appeared on the electronic screen.

"An error message? How strange..." Yuan Jiaming held his glasses, leaned in front of the screen with a puzzled look, and looked at the runtime error prompts that kept popping up on it.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help feeling a little lucky.

Fortunately, the machine suddenly went wrong.

"so close."

Ai Huihara looked at his expression as if he had just survived a catastrophe and said lightly, "Maybe it means that we will no longer be in this world in ten years."

"Hey, hey..." Conan's mouth twitched.

This woman still has this bad temper. He thought she had changed a little after being with those kids these days.

"It is also possible that an expert helped you." Chiyoko walked over and secretly flashed the terminal in her pocket at an angle that Mori and others could not see, with a somewhat proud look on her face.

"I thought so, it turned out that it was you, Chiyo, who did something." Conan understood and silently gave him a thumbs up.

At critical moments, it depends on the performance of teammates.

The three little ones came over, looking a little disappointed.

"What a pity."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to what Conan will look like in the future."

"So does Huibara."

Seeing that the children were in low spirits, Chiyoko gave each of them a piece of bubble gum.

"Rather than letting the machine predict your true or false appearance, why not wait ten years to see it for yourself?"

To be honest, he is not very good at coaxing children.

But this sentence just touched the children's hearts.

"That's right. Ten years from now, we will still be good friends. Then we can see how accurate this machine is!" Ayumi smiled with her eyes curved and held her hands in front of her heart.

As they spoke, the three little ones struck a pose that blatantly copied Kamen Rider.

"We are the Junior Detective Team!"

Conan covered his face and couldn't bear to watch.

Huibara Ai smiled slightly and said nothing.

Chiyoko silently chewed her bubble gum and blew a huge bubble.

Soon, the visit to the showroom was over.

"Then please follow me and take the elevator to the banquet hall on the 75th floor."

Secretary Sawaguchi took them to the sightseeing elevator built outside the building.

"It's all glass, so you can easily see outside!" Yuantai leaned against the glass, a little surprised.

Mitsuhiko was also excited: "It feels like the whole of Japan is at my feet!"

Kogoro Mori's expression was a little pale.

Chiyoko looked at his gnashing teeth and couldn't help but complain to Conan: "Why does that uncle look like he's constipated? Is he afraid of heights?"

"It seems to be the case." Conan recalled.

"Last time when Kaito Kidd came to steal the gems, he didn't dare to get on the helicopter."

Secretary Zekou introduced: "This is the VIP elevator we built specially. It can go directly to any floor you want to go to."

Ayumi listened to her words, pressed against the glass, and looked at the other buildings outside that were gradually getting smaller, her eyes flickering: "It's amazing, it feels like I'm getting closer to heaven step by step."

Chiyoko complained again: "If there are snipers outside, then riding this elevator with a uniform speed and full transparency is really getting closer to heaven step by step."

Conan couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard his deep words.

Suddenly I felt that something was wrong with this elevator. What should I say?

However, this worry is just unnecessary. Although this elevator looks suitable for sniping, it actually has a huge height difference with other surrounding buildings.

With this kind of height difference, there are very few snipers who can accurately calculate the parabola, and they are basically the best in the world.

How could that kind of person have so much free time to come here and snipe?

Soon the elevator stopped and opened the door on the 75th floor.

Uncle Maori walked out of the elevator with unsteady steps and leaned against the wall to slow down.

At a height of nearly 300 meters, it was a bit difficult for him...

When we walked into the banquet hall, we saw many staff members working on the layout of the hall.

"Because we are still preparing for the banquet, it will be a little messy." Secretary Sawaguchi smiled embarrassedly.

Uncle Maori was still feeling a little uncomfortable and had difficulty speaking, so he just nodded to show his understanding.

From the perspective of Secretary Sawaguchi, the attitude of this famous detective was a little cold, and he looked very aloof and mysterious.

As expected of a famous detective known all over the country...

In the center of the meeting hall, there were several people dressed in extraordinary attire.

Seeing Maori and his group arriving, a short-haired woman in a burgundy suit came up to greet them.

"Long time no see, Maori-senpai."

This person is none other than Tokiwa Mio, the daughter of the Tokiwa Group.

Tokiwa Mio smiled and extended her hand to Mori Kogoro, but it was held by another person next to her.

Mao Lilan smiled and said, "Hello, Ms. Tokiwa. I am his daughter Mao Lilan. My mother asked me to express her greetings to you on her behalf."

Tokiwa Mio was stunned for a moment, then she saw that Mori Kogoro also had a cold expression on his face, and she felt a little confused.

Isn’t this senior very happy to be invited?

The twin towers encountered a lot of resistance in the early stages of construction, and she had to manage the relationships and owed a lot of favors.

Fortunately, the building was finally successfully completed.

The Tokiwa Group has great ambitions. Nishitama City does not have a clear landmark building yet. If they can get a piece of this cake, the development of the Tokiwa Group here will be beyond imagination.

It may even be possible to tie up with Nishitama City and become a regional enterprise.

This building is to them what the Suzuki Tower is to the Suzuki Group.

When you think of Tokyo, you can't help but think of the tallest tower, and then the Suzuki Group.

It’s just that the Suzuki Group became rich first and then built the tower after it became the overlord of Tokyo.

The Tokiwa Group hopes that this building can play an extraordinary role in their development.

This is also why there is so much resistance to their building twin skyscrapers, because they cannot crush all their competitors.

The primary purpose of this banquet was to build momentum for the Twin Towers and announce the rise of the Tokiwa Group to the entire society. In order to avoid any mishaps, the main guests entertained at the banquet were all important figures from other companies.

Most of them are companies to which she owes favors.

The reason why Kogoro Mouri was invited as a special guest was because as a nationally renowned detective, most celebrities and dignitaries had heard of him and would not feel unfamiliar or embarrassed. Moreover, although he was famous, the status of a private detective would not overshadow them and would not offend anyone.

It's a gesture of goodwill that's not flattering.

On the other hand, it is also sending a signal to these competitors.

I know a very good detective. If you want to do anything, consider your ability to clean up the traces, otherwise you will be in trouble.

The current period is a crucial one for the Tokiwa Group's plan and no mistakes can be allowed. In order to prevent opponents from targeting them too much, appropriate gestures of goodwill and just the right amount of pressure are necessary.

It's just that the idea of ​​using Kogoro Mori's reputation to gain momentum is too utilitarian and has caused some gossip.

She thought she had some understanding of this senior. Although he had outstanding reasoning ability, he lacked social skills and should not notice her little thoughts. As long as she treated him warmly and put herself in the role of a junior, both parties would be very happy.

I didn't expect to be given the cold shoulder when I first arrived.

Having her daughter, who was younger than her, to negotiate was secretly an understatement for her.

Don’t you like pretending to be a junior?

Okay, then let’s be the same generation as my daughter.

And he also mentioned the "undefeated queen" Eri Kisaki in his words.

Mio Tokiwa knew this person and had investigated him when she chose Kogoro Mori as the guest. The final result made her a little scared.

If one of them makes a mistake and offends someone, this Queen of Law can easily prevent their twin towers from being built.

There are too many non-compliant aspects in the behind-the-scenes operations. These unspoken rules are tacitly understood by everyone, but if they are really brought to the surface, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, unless there is a falling out, general business wars will not start in this regard.

Because everyone has some shameful little secrets, and if you hurt the enemy by a thousand, you will hurt yourself by eight hundred.

If it was the Queen of Law, these secret arrangements would hardly have room for reversal. In addition, she has the reputation of being the "Undefeated Queen" and the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, so public opinion and public attention would definitely not be low.

Add to that the fact that there are a large number of competitors eyeing the business and ready to take a bite once they get a chance, and it becomes even more difficult to operate behind the scenes.

In this situation, bringing up Eri Kisaki for a chat, is it a secret attack on her?

Mio Tokiwa put away her "school girl" behavior and resumed her demeanor as the chairman of a large company. She looked serious, smiled apologetically at Kogoro Mori, and bowed slightly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Maori, I'm so presumptuous. I will definitely visit Lingzheng in person some other day."

Since the famous detective knew his intention and only used a little trick to threaten him, but did not refuse to come, it means there is still room for negotiation.

He hoped to use his status as a junior to gain leverage and influence, so he sent his daughter to negotiate to express his dissatisfaction, so she switched back to the position of chairman and discussed cooperation on an equal footing.

Mentioning Eri Kisaki is not only to warn her, but also to hint at the possibility of deeper cooperation between the two parties. If you think about it carefully, the benefits that a strong lawyer can bring to the Tokiwa Group are enormous, especially at this juncture.

Based on these thoughts, she gave this response.

This should be enough to calm the famous detective down.

Mao Lilan blinked in confusion, feeling that things were not what she thought.

Shouldn't Dad have accepted the invitation just to get closer to other women?

Why does this woman seem to be very polite to my father, and also very respectful to my mother...

Her eyes became small and she looked back at her father.

Maori Kogoro seemed to feel better, and finally laughed with relief, "Haha, you're too polite. Don't worry about that serious woman."

When Tokiwa Mio saw Mori Ran's reaction when she looked back at Mori Kogoro, she became more certain.

Then Kogoro Mori's performance surprised her again.

This face change...

It was as if there were no grudges between them before, and he even lowered Kisaki Eri's status in his words. Was he saying that he didn't want to make the relationship with the Tokiwa Group too strained?

She breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not unfair to lose to such a man.

The famous detective Maori Kogoro is worthy of his reputation...

---------

Haha!

I, Hu Hansan, am back!

Didn't expect?

It is impossible for me to stop updating. I have never stopped updating since I started writing the book, and I have never used the opportunity to ask for leave every month.

I'm going to crush other fan fiction authors!

Were you shocked by the news yesterday?
