Conan: I can see keywords

No one has ever seen him, and no one knows his gender.

But what is certain is that this guy is a person who only cares about money and benefits.

We can get a glimpse of this from the fact that when Valley Bottom was still under construction, in order to promote the island, a mysterious man used every means to promote the half-finished product of Valley Bottom.

Conan also asked Dr. Agasa to check the closed area on the island at that time and even now that has never been opened.

The results of the investigation were not much different from what Zhan Tang Youshi said at the time.

The 'palace' in that area was prepared for entertaining people from the upper circles.

From this perspective, the mysterious man's purpose is obvious.

It's nothing more than profit.

Conan didn't know what Guditian's daily turnover was, but he could imagine the interests involved in maintaining such a large island and recovering the costs.

Conan couldn't think of a second reason for holding this banquet except to find a partner.

Then the problem is coming.

Is Kogoro Mori a very rich man?

No.

So what was the reason for inviting him?

Are you attracted by Kogoro Mori's fame?

But if you have the time, wouldn’t it be better to invite a celebrity?

This is what Conan can't figure out.

It's simple, Conan just thinks that Kogoro Mouri doesn't meet the requirements to attend this banquet.

But there is no point in thinking too much, after all, the invitation has been sent, so let the rest take its course!

Conan couldn't figure out why, so he could only comfort himself in this way.

Looking at Kogoro Mouri dressed up grandly for the meeting, Conan felt a sense of panic in his heart.

He always felt that this banquet was not that simple!

-

"Brother, why did you send them an invitation?"

Downstairs in the office, Hiroki, who was hiding behind a building, was very confused by Lingchuan's behavior.

He knew about the banquet at the bottom of the valley.

And he also knew that the main purpose of this banquet was to find a qualified 'Plum Blossom'.

The second thing is to expand your network.

The organization is growing, but there are always only a few elites.

It was also on the eve of the banquet and exhibition that Lingchuan discovered that he still had an A card in his hand that had not been dealt!

Not only the Ace card, but not even a single head card from the Clubs department was sent out.

This discovery made Lingchuan temporarily change the theme of the banquet.

Before, the priority was to expand personal connections, but now the first goal is to find a qualified "plum blossom".

So Lingchuan expanded the scope of the invitation a little bit.

The first group of people invited were either politicians, capitalists, or at least top stars.

After relaxing the standards, Lingchuan asked Fang Zhou to draw up a list of mid-level financial personnel.

Then came some 'ruthless people'.

What is a ruthless person?

Everyone in the circle knows that this person has dirty hands and is doing some business behind the scenes.

However, due to insufficient "evidence", the police can only closely monitor these people but cannot arrest them.

Because of this relationship, other people have to give them some face even if the other party's status or strength is not as good as their own.

This resulted in a wide variety of people receiving invitations to this banquet.

Facing Hiroki's doubts, Lingchuan smiled and said, "Because he is a detective..."

Because there are "ruthless people" at the banquet, not only Maori Kogoro, Lingchuan also invited other detectives to join!

And there are police!

But Hiroki didn't know this.

The banquet had already changed when Lingchuan found out that Meihua's A card had not been decided yet.

Combined with the previous plan to "endow" Nagaaki Torajiro with abilities, Lingchuan made a temporary decision to treat this banquet as a test!

To test whether Changming can acquire the ability, and to test whether the people present are qualified to be the Ace of Clubs!

As for whether his actions will affect the normal operations of Guditian?

The answer is - no.

On the day the banquet begins, Guditian will suspend business for a week.

Even if something happens in the middle, everything will be over after a week.

As for whether the police attending the meeting will reveal anything?

how could be?

It is hard to say whether the police are still the "police" at that time~

Lingchuan is not a fool.

You were clearly planning to cause trouble, but you deliberately called the police?

His purpose of looking for the police, in addition to giving the detectives who arrived at the scene the impression that "people from all walks of life are coming", his other plan was to arrange for his own people to go in from the Metropolitan Police Department!

How do you say that?

It's easier to get things done when you have someone above you.

There will be more and more people playing Poker. Except for the elites, ordinary members will always make mistakes when performing tasks.

If the police had their own people, it would be much more convenient in many cases.

Chapter 141 Uninvited - Kaito Kidd

“I didn’t expect this place has changed so much.”

"Yes, and these people were not here last time." Conan looked around at Cheng She on the Sky Island at the bottom of the valley.

Compared to the first time I came here, it is more prosperous.

Moreover, unlike the semi-open mode when first landing on the island, this time not only are all the amusement facilities on the entire island unlocked, but medical stations have also been specially set up next to some stimulating projects.

In addition to this, all the people who worked at the port and service area last time have changed.

There was not a single familiar face.

"Huh? Are there still people living on the island?" Mao Lilan asked, pointing at the building in the distance.

The waiter who led them to the closed area took a look and said with a smile, "That place is actually a rest area for employees. There are too many facilities on the island, so there are too many security personnel who need to maintain and maintain the site."

"Some people simply proposed living on the island, so that part was set aside to create a rest area."

"I see."

As we were talking, we arrived at our destination.

Looking at the magnificent building in front of him, even Conan was stunned in shock.

Under the gorgeous decoration, the faces of the guests are reflected, some happy, some passionate.

The chandelier above the head is huge and majestic, with layers of stacked lampshades hung with strings of colored glaze.

Looking at the on-site layout, the decorations on each table are also rare items that are extremely hard to see.

The entire venue was filled with the word "rich".

In this wealthy world, elites from all walks of life gather together.

Politicians, military strategists, bankers, and even the deputy director of the police station...

Ok?

Conan's eyebrows subconsciously frowned when he saw a familiar face.

Contrary to what he expected, this party seemed to have invited many unexpected people.

"Hi, Kudo."

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

When his real name was called, Conan subconsciously tensed his body.

"Kudo?" Mao Lilan turned her head and saw, "It's Hattori..." Then her face was full of nervousness, "Is Shinichi here? Where is he?"

Hattori Heiji was choked by the reactions of Mouri Ran and Conan, and had to hold back on all the words in his heart.

"Ha... maybe, maybe I saw it wrong." Hattori Heiji scratched his head with a dry laugh and explained stiffly, "I saw you guys here from a distance just now, and I thought Kudo Shinichi came with you."

"Is that so?" Mao Lilan looked doubtful, "But why do I feel like... you are calling Conan?"

"Ahh——Sister Xiaolan, what are you talking about?" Conan was stared at by Mao Lilan and waved his hands in fear. "How could you call me? Brother Shinichi is very tall~"

"Ha, hahahaha..." Conan hurriedly found an excuse and secretly cursed Hattori in his heart, "When I grow up, I must be as tall as Shinichi brother!"

"Really?" After looking at Conan, Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief. "Yeah, really, what am I thinking? No matter how hard I think about it, it's impossible that I'm calling you."

While she was talking to herself and convincing herself, Suzuki Sonoko came over with a glass of wine, "Xiaolan~"

"Garden!"

"It's really you, Xiaolan. I didn't expect to see you in this place!"

"Yes, I guessed that you must have been invited, and I was planning to look for you later." Seeing Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Lilan naturally forgot about Hattori's slip of the tongue.
