Conan: I can see keywords

As a result, the police and those guys were invited, so it didn't seem strange to have one more detective.

Conan didn't know why the closed area that was initially advertised as being built specifically for entertaining upper-class guests ended up inviting people from all walks of life to this banquet.

But he knew that with the presence of the police, detectives and those guys, the party had changed.

In this case, it seems not impossible to simply invite everyone together.

Then it is not surprising that Kaito Kidd appears.

Although Kidd said something like 'I'm not invited' when he first appeared, the 'Blue Rose' that was clearly displayed on the stands without any protection had already explained everything.

To deal with Kaito Kidd, the invitation letter designed by the mysterious man might be the gem!

Conan had this idea because he accidentally saw it when Suzuki Sonoko came over just now.

The invitation letter received by the Suzuki Group was not the same as the one sent to the Mori Detective Agency!

Maybe it’s because the Suzuki Group is not short of money?

The invitation sent to the Suzuki Group was not that 'generous'.

Even the invitation letter received by detective Hattori Heiji was different from that received by the agency.

Based on this reasoning, it is self-evident what Kaito Kidd's invitation letter is.

As for Kidd's words like 'don't invite me'?

Conan's eyebrows twitched when he took a look at Nakamori Ginzo, who was almost unable to be restrained by several people.

Kaito Kid seems to really... like teasing Officer Nakamori.

"I don't know what the purpose of the mysterious man gathering so many of us is."

Hattori yawned in boredom.

No matter how gorgeous the surroundings are or how famous the people around you are.

None of these were as exciting as the case.

The same goes for Conan.

Although the scene was so lively, he was still thinking about eavesdropping.

There is already noise in the headphones now, but is this noise because there is a girl in there who is a fan of Kaito Kid?

"It's Kidd! It's really Kidd~"

"Sister Yuki, look! Kidd is so handsome~"

"Okay, I get it. You better be more careful, really."

The two women were talking, but there was no useful information.

Conan sighed, "Am I really overthinking?"

Those people generally don’t seem to be very old. Maybe they are just family members brought by some rich or elite person?

"Dear guests."

A sudden voice above his head interrupted Conan's thoughts.

He looked up and saw a white-haired man walking out. He was wearing an expensive suit and his hair was neatly combed.

Unlike those elites who occasionally appear on TV or in newspapers, Conan has no impression of the old man at all.

"Hey, Kudo, do you think he is the mysterious man?"

"maybe."

His eyes flickered, Conan frowned as he looked at the old man in the stands, writing down every word he said.

Chapter 143: The dead are found in public

The old man first politely introduced the specific situation of the valley to everyone, and then talked about the topic of today.

Decentralization!

"What does he mean?" Hattori Heiji also realized that something was wrong.

Since the construction of Guditian Island was completed, a lot of financial and material resources have been spent. Now it is fully open and the daily revenue is obvious to all.

It is such a hen that lays golden eggs, but that mysterious man - the old man in the stands actually wants to divide the ownership of Gudi Tian?

Conan shook his head.

The old man spoke very clearly, but he couldn't understand.

He can accurately grasp the meaning of each sentence, but when they are put together, Conan doesn't understand.

"But..." After the old man finished talking about his plan to divide power, he changed the subject and talked about the conditions.

Those who want to divide up the valley floor must bid.

This condition was reasonable and everyone accepted it.

After the old man finished telling the news, he left the venue with the help of the waiter and said that the subsequent auction activities would be handed over to his subordinates.

After the old man left, a young man walked up to the stands. He introduced himself as Connor and then announced that the auction would be conducted in a blind manner.

Only 30% of the shares of Gudi Tian were released this time, and the auction was divided into three parts.

The first portion is 5 percent, the second portion is 10 percent, and the last portion is 15 percent.

The interval between each shot is two hours.

Anyone who wants to participate in the auction can get a whiteboard from the counters on both sides of the venue, write down their bid, and the staff will then do the statistics.

The highest bidder will sign the contract on site.

However, during the auction, everyone must return to their own room and write down the price for each auction and cannot communicate with anyone.

They can only come out of the room after all three holding rights have been auctioned off.

During the process, each winner of the auction can briefly walk out of the room and sign a contract in the presence of police and other non-participants.

This auction model caused quite a stir.

While everyone was talking, a staff member came out.

They were all high-quality men and women wearing expensive white suits.

Under their guidance, almost all politicians and elites expressed their desire to participate. After each of them received three blank quotation boards, they followed the staff to the room on the second floor.

Even the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department got involved.

In the blink of an eye, the only people left at the venue were the detective and a few young policemen.

Because those who participate in the auction can choose to bring one or two companions, in a blink of an eye, only a few members who are familiar to Conan are left in the magnificent hall.

Even Kogoro Mouri was called by his boss at the Metropolitan Police Department to accompany the deputy director into the room!

Not to mention Mao Lilan, she just followed Suzuki Sonoko and left.

Because Conan was not interested in the auction and Sonoko's entourage was full, he was temporarily handed over to Hattori Heiji and left in the hall.

So the only people left in the hall were Conan, Hattori Heiji, Kaito Kid, Nakamori Ginzo, Hakuba and other detectives.

Not counting the waiters who were waiting there, there were thirteen people in total.

Conan glanced at the rest of the people in the hall and walked to the corner alone.

It was at this moment that the sound of slapping came from the headphones he had been wearing.

"Snapped!"

Almost the moment he heard the voice, he looked over.

But he looked away in an instant.

Hattori Heiji noticed Conan's abnormality and quickly came over, "I said work..."

"Shh-"

In order to prevent Hattori from disturbing him while he was getting the information, Conan quietly handed over the other earphone.

Hattori, who took the headphones, also realized that something was wrong. He glanced towards the southeast corner and saw that among the young people who were originally sitting there, there was only a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old standing there!

The boy was one of the people who stayed in the living room.

In front of the boy was a middle-aged man.

Conan and Hattori recognized him at a glance. This middle-aged man was on the blacklist.

Because of the banquet, the organizer strongly requested that bodyguards not enter the closed area, so the middle-aged man was alone.

At first everyone protested against the rule of not bringing bodyguards, but now that they knew the purpose of this banquet was to auction the ownership of the island, this rule was understood.

"I was wondering why I couldn't find you. Turns out you were hiding here." The middle-aged man's voice sounded in the headphones.

Does he know that boy?

"Do you know who that person is?" While eavesdropping, Conan inadvertently caught a glimpse of the coldness that flashed across the boy's eyes, and the murderous intent in the middle-aged man's eyes.

His detective instinct alerted him.

"Horii Nagaaki." Hattori answered quickly, "One of the ones who is higher on the blacklist."

"Because of what?"

"Because he suddenly took over the mafia group Nagano Group a few years ago." Hattori said solemnly, "Although he has been obviously cleaning up the forces under his control in recent years, he sent people frantically to search for something during the period when the Nagano Group changed its owner."

"I committed a lot of crimes, so I haven't been removed from the blacklist."

"Search?" Conan blinked. "Are you looking for that boy?"

"Probably."

"Hmph!" A cold snort interrupted Conan and the other's whispers.

"Don't even think about running away. I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

Is it a threat?!

He raised his head and exchanged glances with Hattori, the solemnity in each other's eyes was clearly visible.

"But you can still be of some use on this big ship."
