Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 414 Did you just see Sherry?
Conan opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Ai Haibara's next words.

"Instead of discussing this with me, shouldn't you be more concerned about the managers of those twin-tower skyscrapers?"

Ai Haibara nodded slightly: "I noticed that Mineki Kisaragi's expression was a bit off; he kept looking down and touching his pockets."

And then there's Hara Yoshiaki, who keeps glancing at his watch, even though he's right next to the timekeeper. If he wanted to see the countdown, he could have easily looked at the timekeeper.

Conan looked over with suspicion.

Ruyue Fengshui's forehead was covered in sweat, and one hand was already in his pocket, as if there was something important inside.

He would occasionally turn his head to look at the others, especially Hara Yoshiaki. His gaze seemed to be fixed on Hara Yoshiaki's chest.

Is there a problem with the badge?

Conan frowned, deep in thought, his fingers tracing the badge that Hara Yoshiaki had given him.

Then he took out his detective badge, put the two items together, and weighed them in his hand.

I still can't sense any problem.

"Then what is Hara Yoshiaki so nervous about?"

Conan took a step forward, but was stopped by a waiter: "Little boy, the timer isn't over yet, please wait here for a while."

Because he was wearing a watch, it was understandable that he was stopped to ensure fairness, and Conan could only wait for the game to end.

Soon, the game came to an end.

Every now and then someone would raise a small flag, only to look up and find that the timekeeper wasn't responding, and they would immediately feel disappointed.

Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying rang out. Kogoro Mouri, who was standing in front of the child, was startled and unconsciously raised his small flag.

At the same time, the timekeeper pressed the switch, "Time's up!"

Tokiwa Mio surveyed the entire scene, then paused for a moment.

It wasn't because it was discovered that the person raising the flag at the same time as the timekeeper was Kogoro Mouri.

Instead, they discovered that at the same time, three people were raising the flag together.

According to her estimate, it would be difficult for anyone to count to thirty seconds accurately, but even so, she still prepared two prizes.

One is a Ford Mustang, and the other is a mountain bike.

If two people guess correctly at the same time, they will decide the winner by playing rock-paper-scissors. She never expected that three people would raise their flags at the same time.

"The boy next to Miss Suzuki, Senior Mori, and the kid riding the dog over there, I'm glad you all guessed the exact time at the same time!"

When Tokiwa Mio mentioned children, she clearly paused for a moment.

If it weren't for the endorsement of the second young lady of the Suzuki family, to be honest, she would never have agreed to let such a big dog into the venue.

This opening gala is not only the opening ceremony of the twin towers, but also a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Tokiwa Group.

The 30-second countdown is set according to the number of years the group has been established.

This gala was very important to the Tokiwa Group, as many of the group's shareholders were present, and some of the guests were long-term partners of the group.

However, if the Suzuki Group can owe someone a favor, then it's fine.

The scene immediately erupted in excitement.

Originally, the game was played between two people, but now there are three people, one of whom is a child. Even if the winner is ultimately decided by rock-paper-scissors, there are only two prizes.

If Tokiwa Group cannot provide a suitable solution, someone will leave disappointed.

Because of the nature of the event, Changpan Group did not invite the media in, but there were dozens of eager media people crowding downstairs. If not handled properly, this grand event would turn into a joke.

"Ah Zhen, I can do without the Ford Mustang, but I absolutely cannot lose to Uncle Mori in rock-paper-scissors!"

Sonoko Suzuki muttered something under her breath.

She doesn't lack Ford Mustangs; what she wants is the feeling of victory.

"Do not worry!"

Makoto Kyogoku stepped onto the stage with high spirits. Anya, on the other hand, felt a little dizzy when she went up.

With her abilities, she couldn't have guessed it.

But in order to win first place and gain the admiration of the other members of the Junior Detective League, she risked activating her mind-reading ability.

Among the voices of hundreds of people, we managed to capture the voices of the timekeepers, which is how we stood out.

Doing this will cause dizziness as a side effect.

Strictly speaking, of the three on stage, Kogoro Mouri was lucky, Anya cheated, and only Makoto Kyogoku relied on his own true abilities.

Everyone present applauded in celebration, and then all turned their attention to Tokiwa Mio, wanting to see how she would make a decision on the spot.

Ignoring everything else, Sonoko pushed her way to the front of the crowd and loudly cheered for her boyfriend.

Since everyone knew that this was the second young lady of the Suzuki family, they all showed kind smiles and laughed together.

However, it was this action that exposed Sonoko Suzuki to Gin's notice.

"Damn it!"

Gin was about to put down his binoculars when he saw Sonoko Suzuki's back and immediately jumped up.

With that figure, that hairstyle and hair color, who else could it be but Sherry, the girl who was rescued by the Thorn Princess last time?

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Vodka immediately stood up, pulled out his pistol, and looked around warily, thinking he had been discovered by the police or something.

Did you just see Shirley?

Gin glared at Vodka fiercely, only then realizing that Vodka's earlier demeanor and actions might have been because he had seen Sherry.

With a sniper rifle pointed at his head, Vodka broke out in a cold sweat, his hands involuntarily rising to his feet: "Big brother, did you see Sherry too? I thought I was seeing things."

Gin wanted nothing more than to shoot Vodka twice, but now was clearly not the time.

"Now that you're here, don't leave!"

Gin snorted coldly, turned his gun around, and began to aim.

The straight-line distance between the two buildings is about 480 meters, and with Shirley's location, it's about 495 meters.

Gin quickly began adjusting the scope and then felt the wind direction.

To improve accuracy, laser aiming is activated.

Infrared light cannot be detected by the naked eye, and all attendees were focused on the stage, so no one noticed the red dot on the back of Sonoko Suzuki's head.

Even Conan didn't notice.

Because he has now moved close to Kazama Hidehiko, and while Kogoro Mouri is not paying attention, he is chattering and bothering Kazama Hidehiko.

Kazama Hidehiko was completely uncooperative, focusing solely on how to get the Black Organization members to take the cipher disk from his body without getting hurt.

Only Makoto Kyogoku had all his attention focused on Sonoko Suzuki.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For Makoto Kyogoku, Sonoko Suzuki is his true love, so if they have the chance to be together, he won't miss any opportunity to pay attention to her, especially since she is currently cheering him on.

He was thrilled!
Suddenly, a reflection flashed before Kyogoku Makoto's eyes, the blinding light causing him to unconsciously look in the direction of the reflection.

Although he was nearly 500 meters away from the building across the street, and Vodka was dressed in all black, the reflection from the binoculars still unexpectedly gave away his presence.

Immediately afterwards, the faint red glow caught Kyogoku Makoto's attention.

Upon closer inspection, the red dot became more and more obvious, and that feeling of being pricked by needles returned to my heart.

Makoto Kyogoku's hawk-like eyes disregarded distance limitations and precisely spotted Gin with his sniper rifle and Vodka with his binoculars.
