Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Nishitama City three days later.

Mao Li Ran and a few children from the Junior Detective League were standing in front of a newly built building that looked to be more than ten stories high, waiting for Mao Li Kogoro to come and park his car.

Kojima Genta looked up at the building behind him and said, "It looks like a very imposing building."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also added in a cold tone, "Yes, it's really impressive."

Ayumi Yoshida, who was standing next to them, sighed like a little adult.

Looking at the looks of his friends, Edogawa Conan's mouth twitched, and he looked at them with an expression as if to say, "What are you guys doing again?"

Mao Lilan asked with concern: "What's wrong with you guys? Why are you so listless? You are not like your usual self at all."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya looked at Ran Maoli who was bending over to look at them, and said seriously: "Although this building is not that high, seeing this building makes people think of..."

Kojima Genta continued his words tacitly, "It makes me think of the past..."

Ayumi Yoshida summed up her friends’ speeches, “The twin-tower skyscraper that we narrowly escaped death from a while ago.”

After she finished speaking, the three children collectively sighed again.

Conan Edogawa noticed that Xiaolan was a little nervous about the three people's emotions because of the speeches they made. He fully understood that the three of them really did not have any psychological trauma left.

So before Xiaolan spoke, he exposed their past. He put one hand in his pocket and looked at the three people with half-moon eyes, "You actually think this floor is not that high and not thrilling enough after seeing the Twin Towers."

When the three heard Conan's words, they all turned around and looked at him resentfully, "Hey! Conan-kun, how could you just say that!"

Seeing the three children revived in an instant, Mao Lilan's eyes widened instantly, "So... So that's how it is."

However, she was stunned for only a moment. After she realized that the three children were just playing around, she felt relieved. The worry that was obviously on her face about the three children's emotions returned to normal, and she looked at the children with a gentle smile.

Yoshida Ayumi returned to her normal self, but she was still a little depressed. "However, it's a pity that Ai-chan and the doctor can't come together this time."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also muttered to himself, "I wonder how Haibara-san's cold is doing?"

After hearing what the two people said clearly and knowing what was going on, Edogawa Conan apologized to the three members of the detective team in his heart very insincerely.

After all, what happened before just happened, so it would be better for Haibara to reduce her appearances in such larger occasions.

In that guy's words, there were too many reporters and TV station cameras in this kind of occasion, and it would be troublesome if she was photographed, so it would be better for her to stay out of the spotlight for the time being.

At this moment, everyone was very familiar with Suzuki Sonoko's unique and hearty voice from inside the building, "Lan, you're here!"

There was another person following her, who looked like a typical working social animal.

Similarly, not far away, Kogoro Mouri also parked his car and walked towards the group. Accompanying him was Toru Amuro, whom they just met at the parking lot.

Mao Lilan was naturally very happy to hear her good friend's voice, "Sonoko, you're here so early!"

She was certainly not surprised that her good friend was here. Not to mention that the organizer of this exhibition was a partner of the Suzuki Group, the fact that Kaito Kid would be here today was obvious to her. As a loyal fan of Kaito Kid, Sonoko would not miss it.

As she was talking, Suzuki Sonoko had already walked up to a few people and said, "Well, Uncle Jiroji had something to discuss with Mr. Joyce, the organizer of this event, so we came a little early."

Suzuki Sonoko didn't even need to explain, everyone present, including the three children from the detective team, could guess that the important matter that the old man wanted to discuss with the organizer must be related to how to catch Kid, such as the various strange new ideas that he always had but always failed.

Actually, the reason why they came so early was for this. Since they had received the commission, Kogoro Maori was very professional and contacted the organizer, Mr. Joyce Le Goff Cornell, a businessman from France, early in the morning and agreed on the time in advance.

After Suzuki Sonoko finished greeting everyone, the man who looked like a office worker following Suzuki Sonoko finally had the chance to speak.

He bowed slightly to Maori Kogoro and said, "Hello, Mr. Maori. I am Mr. Joyce's assistant. My last name is Nishihara. Mr. Joyce is very sorry that he cannot come to pick you up in person. They are making the final confirmation with the police, so he asked me to come with Ms. Suzuki to receive you."

As the guardian, Kogoro Mori naturally exchanged a few words with Mr. Nishihara. Then, Assistant Nishihara, who was more familiar with the place, led everyone into the building behind them and introduced the building to everyone.

As they walked toward the elevator, Assistant Nishihara introduced to everyone, "This building has 15 floors in total. The lower 10 floors are office areas, this art exhibition is on the 14th floor, the 15th floor is today's banquet hall, and the 16th floor is the solo exhibition stand for 'Acacia'..."

As we all know, 13 is a taboo number, and there is no 13th floor. This is the case in Japan and the West.

Everyone walked into the elevator and saw that it was not a sightseeing elevator. Maori Kogoro, who was afraid of heights, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Assistant Nishihara, "Speaking of which, normally wouldn't such exhibitions be held in some buildings with a special artistic atmosphere? Why is Mr. Joyce in such a commercial building? The floor where the gems are exhibited is so high, wouldn't it be very convenient for Kaito Kidd to use a hang glider to leave?"

It was not the first time for the people present to see Kaito Kid's "performance", and they were all somewhat familiar with his common methods. So Maori Kogoro's question was not strange, and of course it was a question that everyone was also somewhat curious about.

After hearing Kogoro Mori's question, Assistant Nishihara complained in his heart: He is just an ordinary assistant, how could he know what the boss who has an unpredictable mind is thinking? But he can't just answer that he doesn't know, because that would not only be impolite, but also make him appear very unprofessional.

Assistant Nishihara thought about his words and answered in a decent manner: "Mr. Maori's question is probably only answered by Mr. Joyce, Mr. Suzuki and the police officer. In order to avoid leaking the information, except for the necessary few people, we don't know the specific inside information."

After answering, Assistant Nishihara still had a polite smile on his face. He felt that his answer was a perfect score. At the same time, he prayed in his heart that the elevator would go faster so that the next question could be answered by the boss.
