Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 234 Countdown to Heaven

……

The Metropolitan Police Department has been shrouded in a dark cloud for the past two days.

Not only have they not found the criminals in the two murders, but there haven't been any small incidents recently to boost their sales...

Originally, Inspector Megure thought that the murderer might be targeting the top executives of the Tokiwa Group, and wanted to persuade Tokiwa Mio to cancel the next gathering.

But Mio Tokiwa said that the invitations had already been sent and cancellation was impossible - this would also affect the group's credibility and reputation.

And these days, Conan has not been idle:

He and the Teitan Sanbao, the four of them went together to investigate the homes of Kazama Hidehiko and Kisaragi Minemizu.

There is nothing special about Kazama Hidehiko except that he is a disciple of Moriya Teiji, and he is not on the same path as his teacher;
Ru Yue Feng Shui was obsessed with painting and was not at all interested in the children who came to investigate.

But Conan noticed that it was daytime at Kisaragi's house, but the curtains were closed...

However, the content of the transformation of the Kisaragi water is Mount Fuji, which cannot be seen here at all.

Until he was kicked out of the house by Kisaragi Minemizu, Conan was still thinking:
"The only ones who are still uncertain are Tokiwa Mio and Tsuchimoto Mikami..."

However, both Tsuchimoto Mikami and Tokiwa Mio live in the twin skyscrapers, so it is not realistic for the Junior Detective Team to go there now. I heard that the police are strictly checking the building now...

Moreover, the suspicion level of these two people in Conan's mind is not high. It can be said that if Conan was not more rigorous, they should be on the "innocent" list.

……

Downstairs of the Mori Detective Agency.

Kogoro Mouri was waiting with Ran and Conan next to a taxi.

They were waiting for Sonoko to join them.

As for the other children, since Dr. Agasa also provided technical support to the Tokiwa Group, he was also invited this time, and he could drive over with the other children.

"Xiaolan! Sorry for the wait!"

Conan and his friends didn't have to wait long before Sonoko, who was dressed differently, waved and walked towards them.

"Garden, garden?"

Mao Lilan turned around and saw that Sonoko had changed drastically. She almost didn't recognize her, "Why did you change your hair..."

Conan was also stunned when he looked over.

Sonoko got her hair permed...it looks similar to Haibara's hairstyle.

"It was those little brats the other day who said I looked like an old lady! But Lan, do you think I look more feminine after getting my hair permed?"

Yuanzi arched her curly hair narcissistically.

Mao Lilan praised from the bottom of her heart: "Well, it is really beautiful!"

"As expected, right? Next time I see Zhen, he will definitely be surprised..."

The taxi driver was also an old acquaintance of Xiaolan and Conan - Ryohei Kamikawa.

"Miss, you look unfamiliar." When Ryohei Kamikawa saw Sonoko sitting in the back seat, his pupils shrank slightly and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

But no one noticed his subtle changes in expression...

"Ah, Mr. Kamikawa, this is my good friend Suzuki Sonoko." Mao Lilan introduced with a smile, "Mr. Kamikawa, the mountain you took us to for the first time was where Sonoko invited us to go."

Kamikawa Ryohei smiled knowingly and said, "Oh! So that's how it is. By the way, you guys are going to that new skyscraper in Nishitama to participate in some kind of event this time, right?"

"Well, because the chairman of the Changpan Group is Dad's classmate, Dad was also invited to the party to officially open the building."

Mao Lilan explained with a smile.

When she went out with Conan, she often called Ryohei Kamikawa's taxi, and now there was almost nothing they couldn't talk about.

"Hey! Mr. Mao Li actually knows the chairman of a big company. That's amazing!"

Ryohei Kamikawa flattered him mercilessly.

Maori Kogoro was a little flattered at once, and he touched the back of his head with a smile: "Ah~ No, no, maybe it's just that my charm is really hard to conceal..."

Conan opened his half-moon eyes and laughed in his heart.

If the uncle had charm, he would probably be super god. "It's a pity that Mr. Lin and Hiroki can't come this time..." Mao Lilan held her mobile phone, feeling a little regretful.

Conan also felt a little regretful.

He found that Hiroki had been participating in solving cases less and less recently. If Hiroki was there this time, he might be able to find some clues that he didn't know about.

Pity……

……

On the other side, the doctor's house.

Several children gathered at the door, constantly urging Dr. Agasa:

"Doctor! Hurry up, Conan and the others might have already set off..."

"Yeah, yeah! It will be terrible if I'm later than Conan!"

Genta and Mitsuhiko both looked very impatient, as if falling behind Conan was a huge embarrassment.

"Alright, alright! It will be ready soon..."

After hesitating for a long time, Dr. Agasa finally changed into formal clothes and came out.

But when they were about to get in the car, Ayumi turned around and found that one of her friends was missing: "Doctor, why isn't Ai here?"

Dr. Agasa was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Ai hasn't come out yet? I thought she was waiting in the car..."

The doctor who had just left the house went back in to call for help:

"Xiao Ai, get ready to go!"

"You guys go ahead, I won't go..."

inside the house.

Haibara Ai lay by the window, looking into the sky, exuding the scent of salted fish.

There was a wall between the window and the door, so it's no wonder that Dr. Agasa didn't see her.

"Hey Ai, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Dr. Agasa thought she was in a good mood or was not feeling well, so he walked up to her and asked with concern.

"…No, I just don't want to go."

Huibara Ai seemed to be weak and powerless.

Neither she nor Conan told the doctor about what happened at the Twin Towers, for fear that the "old man" would worry unnecessarily.

Haibara Ai thought that since there were people from the organization there, why not avoid them?
I always feel like something bad is going to happen...

"Well, everyone is waiting for you outside. It's just a party. We just need to come back after the party. Nothing will happen to us!"

Dr. Agasa said with a smile.

Haibara Ai:"……"

Where does the doctor get this confidence from?

Seeing that her tricks didn't work, Huihara Ai got up from the platform by the window with despair and staggered towards the door.

——She really had a bad feeling, and felt that she might not be able to avoid it this time.

These days, Haibara Ai hasn't seen the masked man who took pictures of her every day. I wonder if something happened.

Huiyuan Ai sat in the passenger seat, closed her eyes, and clasped her hands on her chest:
Sister, please keep her safe this time...

If it really doesn't work, it's not impossible to take her away from this world.

Anyway, she was tired.

After opening her eyes, Haibara Ai heard the three people behind her playing some kind of timing game, but she just calmly looked at the scenery receding outside the window, with no joy or sadness in her heart.

I heard that the twin skyscrapers...

Is it the place that is said to be closest to heaven?
