Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 448 Gin: Bourbon, are you planning to marry into my family?
Hahaha.
Kitahara Natsuhiro really wanted to laugh out loud at Conan's expression, but he couldn't, otherwise Conan would become suspicious.

So he forced himself to suppress the urge to laugh out loud, and could only laugh inwardly, but when he turned his head, his mouth was stretched to his ears.

It was so much fun.

Conan didn't see this scene, nor did Amuro Tooru and the others; only Yonehara Akiko saw it.

However, Ai Haibara also knew about Kitahara Natsuhiro's expression at this moment.

"What are you thinking about?" Akiko Yonehara asked, puzzled. "Why are you so happy?"

“Ah,” Kitahara Natsuyu paused for a moment, then quickly suppressed his smile: “I was just thinking about something happy, so I felt happy.”

Yes, Conan encountered Gin and Vodka at such close range, but because he didn't recognize their car, he didn't know that the two people inside were in the car.

How could you not laugh when you see such a funny picture!
In this place, Kitahara Natsuhiro was laughing happily, Haibara Ai was laughing happily, Miyano Akemi was laughing, and even Amuro Tooru was laughing.

They all made some gains, but Conan was just standing there dumbfounded, staring at the antique car.

"Something happy?" Akiko Yonehara asked. "What's so happy about it? Tell me so I can be happy too?"

“Hmm,” Kitahara Natsuhiro began to rack his brains, then leaned over and whispered a joke in Yonehara Akiko’s ear.

Upon hearing the joke, Akiko Yonehara laughed, then playfully slapped Natsuhiro Kitahara, scolding him for being silly.

And so the matter was simply brushed off.

As for Conan, he had already shifted his gaze away from the Porsche 356A below and started wandering around this floor.

However, he did not go voluntarily; he was dragged around by Genta and the others.

But at that moment, a man in black ran out from somewhere and got into the car.

Looking down from his vantage point, Kitahara Natsuyu saw the person who had run into the car—it was Vodka!
Unfortunately, Conan didn't see this scene, and neither did Amuro Tooru.

Although he was highly skilled, even capable of speeding against traffic on the highway and driving on the railway tracks, at such a height, he still couldn't see what was below, let alone a dark figure.

However, he had already sent his subordinate, Kazami Yuya, to investigate the matter beforehand.

News should arrive soon.

This was a truly unexpected and delightful surprise for him!

However, Amuro Tooru will also be suspected by Gin.

"Big Brother, Hara Yoshiaki is working in this building today, and I've already found out which floor Tokiwa Zaibatsu's control room is on. We can plant the bomb when the time is right."

"And soon it will be time for the Tokiwa Zaibatsu to hold a banquet. Should we make our move during the banquet and rake in some profits?" Vodka sat in the driver's seat, looking at Gin with a sinister grin.

If used properly, they could make a lot of money from the explosion, earning a large sum for the organization and even making a fortune for themselves.

Despite his seemingly loyal demeanor, Gin is quite adept at making money.

After all, if he doesn't make money, how will his subordinates make money? If he doesn't let his subordinates make money, they won't be loyal to him.

The world is so different now. Only money can make people loyal and faithful, and money will never betray you.

Perspective: I completely agree with this statement: only money will never betray you!
“Fine.” Gin sneered, “But before we blow up the Tokiwa Zaibatsu’s control room, let’s take care of Hara Yoshiaki first.”

"He's a member of the organization after all, and he knows a lot of information about it. We can't let him live any longer!"

The reason the Tokiwa Zaibatsu's main control room was blown up was that Hara Yoshiaki seemed to have stored some data on the Tokiwa Zaibatsu's mainframe.

They didn't know what Hara Yoshiaki had uploaded; it could be a regular file, or it could be intelligence about the organization.

Regardless of the method, they need to blow up the Tokiwa Zaibatsu's main control room to put people at ease.

Their purpose in coming here was also for this purpose: to locate the main control room, obtain the blueprints, and thus install the bomb to completely destroy the main control room!
“Okay, boss, I’ll continue to have people follow Hara Yoshiaki and then take him out.” Vodka said, “By the way, boss, a group of people came to visit the Tokiwa Zaibatsu’s twin towers today, and Amuro Tooru was among them!”

"Amuro Tooru?" Upon hearing this name, Gin paused, his hand holding the cigarette twitching. His eyes sharpened instantly, a hint of coldness in them. "Amuro Tooru is here for a visit? Did he find out we were coming?!"

That's just Gin's personality. If someone from his organization is in the same place as him on the day of his operation, he'll suspect that the intelligence has been leaked and that this person might be a mole planted by another organization.

After all, this is too much of a coincidence. I came here to carry out a mission, and you happened to show up too. What else could it be but an undercover agent?

Amuro Tooru: Are you out of your mind? I was here first, and now you're turning around and blaming me? You're crazy!
If Amuro Tooru knew what Gin was thinking, he would definitely do this!

However, Amuro Tooru was also aware of Gin's personality; he was definitely a mental patient, and he generally wouldn't bother with such a person—it wasn't worth it.

“Hmm,” Vodka paused, then continued, “According to the intelligence gathered, Amuro came here because of his relationship with Sonoko Suzuki, the second daughter of the Suzuki Zaibatsu.”

"It was Sonoko Suzuki who invited Tooru Amuro to come. Now Tooru Amuro is the manager of a restaurant called Kitahara Chinese Restaurant, and the owner behind the restaurant is a man named Natsuhiro Kitahara, who is a physical education teacher."

"However, the storefront he rented belonged to Kogoro Mouri's family, and Kogoro Mouri's daughter, Ran Mouri, was acquainted with Sonoko Suzuki, so..."

Vodka explained the connection between the two events.

Upon hearing this, the cold light in her eyes lessened considerably, but it didn't completely disappear: "Suzuki Sonoko."

"Hmph, he actually knows the young lady of the Suzuki family. No wonder he's got such a good-looking face. He's got some skills."

Although Amuro Tooru has dark skin, he has blond hair and is quite handsome; he would be more than qualified to be an idol.

Given Amuro Tooru's personality, he wouldn't become a restaurant manager for no reason, especially since he knows Suzuki Sonoko.

There must be some ulterior motive.

As for his purpose, Gin didn't know, and didn't really want to know.

That's just how he is. If I'm carrying out a task, you shouldn't say anything. And if someone else is carrying out a task, he won't interfere too much, unless he wants to participate in that task himself.

"Amuro Tooru, could he be planning to marry into the Suzuki Zaibatsu?!" Vodka blurted out, even with a hint of envy and jealousy.

This might be a task assigned by the organization, but if he were to marry into the Suzuki Group, he would definitely have no worries about food and drink, and might even have the opportunity to become the leader.

The black organization had already thoroughly investigated the Suzuki zaibatsu's information.

The eldest daughter, Ayako Suzuki, is getting married through an arranged marriage, while the second daughter, Sonoko, wants to find a man to marry into her family.

Perhaps that's the organization's idea: to marry into the family and indirectly control the Suzuki zaibatsu, then use their funds for the organization's purposes.

"Marry into the family?" Gin sneered. "Bourbon isn't the kind of person who would endure humiliation. He seems kind, but he's actually more cunning than anyone else."

"Besides, sometimes even I don't know what he's thinking." "It might not be an organization's mission, but rather his own personal action."

“However, this has nothing to do with us for the time being. As long as it doesn’t harm the interests of the organization, then we don’t need to worry about it. Let’s do this first!” Gin said.

The better Amuro Tooru's relationship with the Suzuki conglomerate, the better it is for the organization, and it will not have any negative impact on the organization.

As for Amuro Tooru telling the Suzuki Zaibatsu information about the organization, that's impossible.

Amuro Tooru is a veteran in the organization; he wouldn't do something so unwise unless he's really tired of living.

Therefore, the better Amuro Tooru's relationship with the Suzuki family, the more beneficial it is for the organization.

"I understand, brother!" Vodka nodded and didn't continue the topic.

"Let's drive!"

"Okay, big brother."

Vodka nodded, then slowly started the old car, leaving the Twin Towers skyscraper, and finally leaving Nishitama City, returning to Beika Town.

At that moment, Amuro Tooru also saw the car below leave, and his eyebrows rose involuntarily: "They left so quickly, what were they doing here?"

He was now almost certain that the Porsche 356A below was Gin's car, because Kazami Yuya had already sent him the footage and photos from the highway surveillance cameras, which showed that it was indeed Gin's car.

It's just that the license plate has been changed.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and sent a text message to his most loyal subordinate, Kazami Yuya.

"Target begins to move, heading towards Beika Town!"

Click and send!
After sending the text message, he put his phone away.

Just then, the VIP elevator doors opened, and Tokiwa Mio and her secretary returned to the area and walked quickly over.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting. Now I'll take you on a tour of the games developed by our Tokiwa Zaibatsu!" said Tokiwa Mio.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko said, "President Tokiwa, there's no need to be so polite. It's us who have bothered you today."

“There.” Tokiwa Mio smiled slightly, as if she had thought of something, and came to Sonoko’s side and whispered, “I forgot to tell you, Sonoko-san, the eldest daughter of the Ooka Zaibatsu will also be attending the banquet this time.”

"Huh?" Sonoko was quite surprised when she heard the news: "Ooka Momiji is actually going to participate? That's really unusual."

"But what does she look like?"

She didn't know much about Ooka Momiji's appearance.

Because Ooka Momiji rarely attends banquets, there are not many photos of her. Although the Suzuki Zaibatsu can obtain private photos of Ooka Momiji, the relationship between the two families is currently quite tense, and reckless actions could easily lead to problems.

Furthermore, Ooka Momiji's grandfather was a former prime minister with considerable influence in the political world.

If possible, the Suzuki zaibatsu does not want to confront the Ooka zaibatsu head-on.

However, this does not mean that the Suzuki zaibatsu is afraid of the Ooka zaibatsu.

Your political influence is indeed strong, but my Suzuki zaibatsu is not without its own strength, and we have a lot of money.

"What does Ms. Ooka Momiji look like?" Tokiwa Mio paused, then said softly, "She's very pretty and has a great figure."

"By the way, there's a picture of Ms. Ooka Momiji at the karuta tournament."

Zekou.

"Yes, President."

Sawaguchi Chinami, who was standing nearby, immediately took out her phone and started searching for photos of Ooka Momiji.

“Ooka Momiji, that name sounds familiar.” Sera Masumi pondered for a moment after hearing the name, then suddenly realized something: “Right, Hideyoshi-nii seems to know Ooka Momiji.”

"The Haneda family and the Ooka family are very familiar with each other!"

Yes, the Ooka family and the Haneda family know each other; the Haneda family is the same one as Haneda Koji and Haneda Yasuharu.

So, rounding up, the Akai family and the Ooka family have quite a bit of a connection, they're related by blood or marriage.

“Ooka Momiji?” Amuro Tooru thought to himself, “That’s her granddaughter.”

"I remember there was a Public Security officer who became a bodyguard for the Ooka Zaibatsu family, and he was also specifically responsible for the safety of Ooka Momiji. I think his name is now Iori Muga."

Since they both belonged to the Japanese Public Security Bureau, it was not surprising that he knew this information.

"President, we've found it."

Chinami Sawaguchi handed over the phone.

Sonoko held her phone, looked at the girl in the photo, and said with a smile, "She is indeed very pretty, and has a great figure, but I'm not bad either!"

At this moment, Ran, Sera Masumi, and Koizumi Akako also went over to see the young lady of the Ooka family.

"Wait, Ooka Momiji?" Conan muttered. "I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before."

"Oh right, it's Hattori Heiji!"

He remembered that Hattori Heiji had told him about this before, saying that he was going to attend a banquet hosted by the Tokiwa Zaibatsu because of a rich young lady, and that young lady was none other than Ooka Momiji.

"Oh, I see."

"It seems this banquet is going to be quite interesting."

"Sonoko is going to compete with Ooka Momiji, and Toyama Kazuha is going to compete with Ooka Momiji too. How interesting, how very interesting!" Conan thought to himself, a playful smile on his face.

"Conan, what are you thinking about?" Kitahara Natsumi paused and moved closer to Conan. "Your smile is disgusting!"

"nausea."

Conan was speechless upon hearing this.

My smile is clearly cute, how could it be disgusting!
