Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 449 I really am brave! Everyone ten years later! (Happy New Year)
After the brief incident with Ooka Momiji, Kitahara Natsuhiro and his group arrived at the game floor, also known as the exhibition area, located in the Twin Towers skyscraper, a floor dedicated to showcasing the games they had developed.

And since the floors are on the second and third floors, they have to take the elevator down.

Because of the large number of people, they went down in two groups.

"That's awesome! We can have some fun right away!" Genta exclaimed excitedly.

Besides eel rice, he also loves games, and now that he's working at a game development company, he's really thrilled.

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were in the same mood, and everyone else was also in a good mood, very interested in the game developed by the Tokiwa Zaibatsu.

I've heard that they've developed many interesting games and are at the forefront of the gaming industry.

But there is one exception: Conan.

"Damn it, why did we have to go to the exhibition area? Isn't this just asking for trouble?" Conan muttered to himself as he sat there, nodding.

If possible, he wants to skip this step in the exhibition area and proceed to the next step, or go home.

Because he's going to be tortured again when he plays the game later.

It could be a bot, or it could be someone else, or even some women who don't usually play games.

There was no way around it; many doors were opened when he was born, but the window of gaming was closed, which made him a gaming idiot.

Of course, virtual games are an exception.

However, there were no virtual games in this era.

However, in the near future, the foreign Sindora conglomerate will use Hiroki's Noah's Ark AI to develop a game called Cocoon, which is a virtual game.

Furthermore, some of the stories were written by Yusaku Kudo, and Professor Agasa also participated in them.

However, Professor Agasa is still in Japan and hasn't gone abroad yet, which means that the Phantom of Baker Street hasn't started yet.

While the Sindora Group is also a leader in the IT industry, its leadership is global, whereas the Tokiwa Group is only based in Japan—the two are worlds apart.

"Conan, sighing won't help." Kitahara Natsumi looked at Conan's worried face and smiled, "Enjoy today, you'll remember it well!"

Upon hearing this, the others paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

They all know Conan and know that Conan is extremely bad at video games.

For him, today was torture.

Conan's face twitched as he listened to the laughter.

"That guy, Kitahara Natsuhiro..."

He really wanted to curse Kitahara Natsuhiro, but he didn't dare.

Because every time he mentally fantasizes about Kitahara Natsuyu, Kitahara Natsuyu discovers it, which has left him with a psychological trauma.

Even if he really wanted to curse, he didn't dare to, unless he was very far away.

At this distance, he'd better not court death.

Ding Dong
Just then, the elevator arrived at the second floor and the door opened.

"This is the second floor of our Tokiwa Zaibatsu, which is the showroom for some of the new games and gaming equipment we've developed."

"Today, we will be showcasing most of the gaming equipment and games here. Please have fun," said Secretary Chinami Sawaguchi.

"Great!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko rushed out, looking around.

This floor is filled with games from the Tokiwa Zaibatsu, including fighting games, games where you sit in a chair, and all sorts of other games.

There are even machines that can predict what someone will look like ten years from now.

"What is this?" Ayumi walked up to a machine and looked at it with a puzzled expression.

Because this machine doesn't look like a game console at all, and many things in the exhibition hall are very abstract, as if they don't belong to this era.

Just then, a man in a suit and glasses walked over from a distance and said, "This is a machine that can predict what you will look like ten years from now."

"Just by sitting on it, you can find out what you will look like in the future."

Hearing this, Conan felt a chill run down his spine.

"Wait, what are you guys doing messing around with this thing? Is this a game?" Conan kept complaining to himself, while occasionally stealing a glance at Ran.

There's no way around it, everyone's already interested in this thing. I bet everyone else will go up and sit down to see what they'll look like ten years from now.

But he can't do that. He is Shinichi Kudo. If he weren't wearing glasses, he would look exactly like Shinichi Kudo when he was a child.

So ten years from now, he will definitely look like Shinichi Kudo, and will be a seventeen-year-old second-year high school student.

If Xiaolan sees this, his identity is very likely to be exposed.

Danger might follow, and those guys might come knocking on our door.

Of course, that's not the most dangerous part. The most dangerous part is for Xiaolan, because they have to share a room and bed while traveling, and there are even other things going on.

Therefore, if his identity is exposed, the first person he will have to deal with is Ran, the champion of the karate tournament.

At that time, he might be beaten into pieces by Xiaolan, or he might be smashed into a pile of minced meat.

In short, he didn't want to play this game because it would put his life in danger.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Hara Yoshiaki, a director and engineer of our group," said Chinami Sawaguchi.

"This guy is actually a director? I never noticed before," Kitahara Natsumi thought to himself.

When I watched it before, this guy died as soon as he appeared, and I didn't care about his identity at all.

Unexpectedly, he held a rather high position within the Tokiwa Group; he was a director.

This also explains why he left the Black Organization.

After all, why would a director of a conglomerate like me go to your side and become a rat in the gutter, doing all the dirty and tiring work?

Is this director uncomfortable?

Therefore, it is reasonable for Hara Yoshiaki to leave the organization.

However, Yuan Jiaming's current identity and status may be closely related to the black organization, or he may have been put in this position by them and wanted to run away after taking the organization's resources.

This is impossible.

If everyone does this, then who will be afraid of their organization? In the future, wouldn't everyone be coming and going, and where will their authority be?

Therefore, Hara Yoshiaki must die!

"Hara Yoshiaki?" Ai Haibara looked at Hara Yoshiaki and wondered to herself, "Could it be this guy?"

"He looks very powerful, and Gin and Vodka were just here, so they might be looking for him."

"Very young and talented, especially in the IT industry, which perfectly matches the organization's requirements."

"I just don't know what the organization's purpose is this time. It could be recruitment, or it could be... murder!"

Gin and Vodka came here this time, probably to conduct reconnaissance.

The murders and recruitment likely both took place at night. After all, there are many people and surveillance equipment during the day, but at night, under the cover of darkness, they can do many things that they cannot do during the day, which is more conducive to their operations.

"Sigh," thinking of this, while everyone else was focused on the machine, Ai nudged Kitahara Natsuyu with her elbow and whispered, "Do you know why the organization is here?"

She knew it certainly wasn't for her own sake.

After all, she was already considered a dead person by the organization after being dealt with by Kitahara Natsuyu, so the organization couldn't possibly be looking for her.

If that's true, then she would have died long ago.

After all, she had been a teacher at Teitan Elementary School for quite some time.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "I know, we're here to investigate, and then to kill!"

"Murder?" Ai Haibara's heart skipped a beat. "Murder whom?"

She looked at Hara Yoshiaki, Sawaguchi Chinami, and Tokiwa Mio.

These three people are all important to the Tokiwa Zaibatsu. If Gin's goal is to kill, it's possible that he would target one or even all of them.

"Hara Yoshiaki!" Kitahara Natsuhiro told Haibara Ai without keeping her in suspense.

"why?"

"Is it because you refuse to cooperate with the organization?" Ai asked.

The organization is extremely domineering; they will eliminate those who are unwilling to cooperate.

The reason is that now that you know of our existence, you can no longer live in this world.

In the anime, there is a software engineer named Itakura who embodies this.

The organization monitored him and even went in and out of his home, causing him considerable stress.

Under pressure, he finally had no choice but to agree to work for the organization.

He died later, but it wasn't someone from the organization who killed him; it was someone else.

"Could it be that they were originally partners, or even on the same side?" Kitahara Natsuyu smiled.

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara immediately understood.

"So this is ah."

She knows the organization well, and in this place, no one knows the organization better than her.

Perhaps the guy in front of her named Hara Yoshiaki is also a member of the organization, just like her, but not a member with a code name, and he doesn't move around the organization often, which is why she didn't hear any information about Hara Yoshiaki here at the Japanese branch.

But those who know the organization know that it is terrifying and likes to eliminate people who are no longer of use, in order to prevent intelligence from being leaked.

As an engineer, Hara Yoshiaki is undoubtedly very capable and may be deeply involved in some of the organization's plans.

Now, it's possible that Hara Yoshiaki doesn't want to continue, or perhaps he's violated some taboo, so the organization is preparing to kill him to silence him.

That's what her mother and father were like.

After all, Elena Miyano and Atsushi Miyano died in a fire, and the fire happened in the research institute of the organization.

Think about it, in an organization's research institute, and they're being monitored, how could they possibly have the chance to commit suicide by burning themselves alive?

Therefore, there is only one possibility: it was done by an organization.

As for the reason, she knew a little bit, but not much else.

It's probably because of that medication.

Fortunately, she has now left the organization, and without her, the development of the APTX-4869 drug will definitely slow down, or even come to a complete standstill.

This has a significant impact on the organization; someone might be relying on this drug to prolong their life.

However, the organization isn't the type to put all their eggs in one basket. They might have already launched other operations, not just relying on drugs to prolong life, but also on legendary creatures.

In the anime, Gin and Vodka once went to an island to participate in a festival, hoping to find something.

In the end, they returned empty-handed.

“That’s right, that’s exactly it.” Kitahara Natsuyu said, “This guy is quite bold. He’s an outer member of the organization, and he betrayed the organization and stole some of its intelligence. Yet he’s working here so openly.”

"I don't know if he's just carefree or doesn't understand the organization?"

He genuinely found it outrageous. Since you joined the organization and even stole some intelligence and data, you should be aware of how terrifying the organization is.

As a result, even after doing such a thing, Hara Yoshiaki still came to work here.

Does the organization really have grown old and can no longer wield the butcher's knife?

Or is it that Hara Yoshiaki also possesses extraordinary power and is confident that he can contend with the organization?
However, judging from the movie, Hara Yoshiaki was just an ordinary person who was killed by Gin with a single shot.

So, wouldn't it be better to just run away honestly?
Running away offers a glimmer of hope, while staying here to work means certain death.

Unless Conan kills Gin, Vodka, and all the members of the organization first, he can continue to live.

But that's impossible!

If Conan had that kind of power, Detective Conan would have ended long ago, instead of being serialized to a thousand chapters.

Therefore, Hara Yoshiaki really chose the path to his death!
"."

Hearing Kitahara Natsuhiro's words, Ai was speechless; she hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

A member of the organization stole from the organization and then became a traitor.

That's all fine, but the key point is that they didn't run away, which was really unexpected for her.

Is this Hara Yoshiaki, a former member of the organization, really that brave?

Without Kitahara Natsuyu, she wouldn't dare do this; she would be terrified, and the radar would be on 24/7.

But the guy in front of me acted completely unaffected.

They really have a big heart!
"Conan, you should go too!"

Just then, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko came to Conan's side, pulling, pushing, and hugging him, and directly put Conan on a chair.

"I'm not going, I'm not going!"

Conan struggled repeatedly, but with the help of everyone, he managed to sit back on the throne.

What might be a throne for others is just a toilet for Conan.

The stench is overwhelming.

"Xia Yu, you should go too!"

Akiko Yonehara walked over, waving the photo in her hand with a big smile on her face.

She looks exactly the same in the photo as she does now, with no major differences except for her hairstyle.

This is good!
"Me? Fine."
