Conan's I'm really not a model worker in a winery

Chapter 236 Fatal Fireworks-Panic

"Dear guests, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the opening ceremony of our twin tower skyscraper of Tokiwa Group..."

On the stage, Mio Tokiwa put on a solemn black and gold evening dress and began the opening speech.

Also standing on the stage were architect Hidehiko Kazama, Japanese painting writer and Mio Tokiwa art teacher Hosui Kisaragi, and Chairman of Liberastar Corporation Domoto Mikami.

And offstage...

"Yes, sir, please rest assured that everything is ready here and no one has noticed anything unusual."

"Yes, I'm already at the scene, and I haven't found anything so far..."

There are two different people in two corners, each holding a phone and reporting something to someone.

The venue was very lively. Although the hall was very spacious, people were all crowded in front of the stage at this time, and no one paid attention to the two people talking on the phone.

…

After Tokiwa Mio finished her speech, the curtain slowly lowered, covering the four people standing on the stage.

Seeing that the ceremony was going smoothly, Mio Tokiwa breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the people with a smile, "Thank you very much for your cooperation... and Mr. Tomoto, I'm really sorry for the temporary decision to let you take the stage."

Although she asked the police to come over just in case, they just stayed downstairs to watch suspicious people coming in and out. There was no policeman at the party.

"No, I have nothing to do with Yourong."

Tu Yuansan shook his head expressionlessly, showing no emotion or anger at all.

"I remember that the display of Mr. Kisaragi's paintings will be next. I don't think we will be embarrassed standing on the stage."

Hidehiko Kazama laughed at himself.

"Ah, Mr. Kazama, you are belittling yourself too much, aren't you?" Tokiwa Mio was in a very good mood, smiling both inside and outside.

Kazama Hidehiko was the first to step off the stage. After Nodding to Tokiwa Mio, Tomoto Mikami also slowly walked down the stage.

However, at this moment, Mio Tokiwa suddenly exclaimed softly...

Mikami Tomoto, who had not yet completely walked out of the curtain, turned his head slightly and saw Mio Tokiwa communicating with Hosui Kisaragi for a while, and then the former's secretary came over to say something to her.

Seeing this scene, Tugen Mikami squinted his eyes, looked at the huge painting hanging above and a thin line that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, shook his head slightly, and suddenly flicked his fingers, creating an undetectable line.

Black shadows passed behind several people...

——

"Officer Megure, is it really okay for us to stay here? What if the prisoner gets mixed up among the guests..."

Under the building, Shiratori Rensaburo stared at the roof with a very embarrassed expression.

"There is nothing we can do about it." Officer Megure was also helpless, "Ms. Mio won't let us participate in the party hall, and her attitude is very firm. We can't force our way in, right?"

"Having said that..."

Shiratori Rensaburo was also very depressed. It was clear that the serial murderer might be targeting the Joban Group, so why couldn't they let the police supervise it?

Although sometimes it is useless.

A lazy voice came from next to another police car:

"So, why do you want to bring me here? The three of you should be enough to handle this kind of situation, right?"

Matsuda Jinpei leaned against the police car and smoked a cigarette.

His tone seemed a little dissatisfied with Officer Megure for pulling him out to perform the task, but his eyes were fixed on the roof of the building unblinkingly.

"Well, after all, Matsuda-senpai, you have a lot of experience, and I have only joined for two years, so it doesn't count..."

Next to Matsuda Jinpei, Takagi Wataru scratched his head in embarrassment and expressed great respect for Matsuda Jinpei in his tone.

"..." Matsuda Jinpei rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, "I know you, but there is really no need to belittle yourself like this."

Takagi Shiba's bean-eyed, "Ah? I'm serious...senpai's experience is indeed very rich."

"...Okay."

Matsuda pinched his eyebrows.

He actually wanted to make Takagi more confident...

To be honest, he personally thinks that Takagi has great potential in various aspects, although sometimes he is a little slow.

…

The fourth underground floor, distribution room and power generation room.

'Click, click, click...'

On the detonator mounted on the motor, a timer was running out.

75th floor.

"Now please enjoy the masterpiece of Mount Fuji specially presented by the famous Japanese painter Mr. Kisaragi Homizu in order to congratulate the completion of the Joban Building——"

The screen on the stage slowly opened.

The spotlight shined on the middle of the background board, and a beautiful view of Mount Fuji gradually appeared in front of all the guests. Many people began to express their admiration...

However, among the guests in front.

Kisaragi Hosui looked at Mio Tokiwa standing on the stage in astonishment, and his mind was confused for a moment:

How is this possible?

He is obviously on this woman's necklace...

"Old man."

Just when he was lost in thought, a gentle voice whispered in his ear: "Killing is not in a hurry. No matter what grudges you have with her, please put it down for now. I'll keep it for you..."

Ruyue Fengshui's pupils shrank instantly.

This voice...

"Of course, if you insist on having your own way, then you can only apologize."

After saying these words, Ruyue Fengshui suddenly became excited and turned his head with a swish.

But even though he almost twisted his neck, the person who spoke was already gone.

He searched around the crowd, but couldn't see any sign of that person...

Hidehiko Kazama noticed something strange about him and asked with concern: "Mr. Kisaragi, are you looking for something?"

"...It's nothing, I just twisted my neck."

Ruyue Fengshui's eyes flashed slightly and he shook his head.

However, the next moment, a sudden change occurred——

All the guests present felt the building tremble violently, and then all the bright spotlights were extinguished at this moment.

"Wha, what?"

"Is there an earthquake?!"

The sudden shock and darkness suddenly caused panic...

But that's not all.

Just when everyone was panicking, the whole building shook several times stronger than before!

"Ahhhhh!!"

"There's an earthquake! It must be an earthquake. Everyone, run away!"

"Come on! There's an escape ladder over there!"

For a moment, the party hall fell into chaos. Some people were screaming, and some were giving random instructions...

And most people don't have lighting tools, so when a person uses the weak fluorescence of a mobile phone to find the entrance to the emergency exit, everyone swarms over, like moths to a flame.

"Hey! Don't mess around! Don't walk around! This is not an earthquake, everyone, stay calm!!"

At the critical moment, it was Kogoro Mouri, a former policeman, who shouted and started to maintain order.

It's just that the crowd has begun to become chaotic, and he can only stabilize a few dozen people who are relatively close to him.

In fact, as long as others calm down, they will find that this vibration is completely different from an earthquake, but more like...

"What did you say? There was a fire in the computer room on the 40th floor?!"

Conan, who was next to Moori Kogoro, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Could this be...

explode?!
