Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 246 Homecoming
Just when Belmore made up his mind to use the drag-and-drop technique in searching for Shirley, Toru Amuro, who was far away in Japan, was still worried about this matter.

Tomorrow is the day when Belmore will take his boss's family and Xiaolan back to China, but the plan he made before has never been implemented, which makes him feel regretful for missing this excellent opportunity.

Of course, there was a reason why he didn't expect Shirley to be more calm than he thought and didn't reveal his whereabouts under such circumstances. However, Kazami Yuya and other subordinates were temporarily transferred to participate in the investigation of the flight from Tokyo to New York. The terrorist attack on a flight also played an important factor.

A week ago, the Japanese police received a contact from the FBI about a terrorist attack in the United States. As a result, Toru Amuro learned that the plane hijacked by the terrorists happened to be the one on which his boss and his group were traveling, and he couldn't help but feel scared.

Although the information he received from the FBI said that the hijacking was ultimately prevented by the passengers, thereby averting the tragedy, he could vaguely guess the role Bellmore played in it, and felt that the other party had done a rare good deed. Should I treat her better for the sake of saving so many Japanese citizens?

He failed to find Shirley in advance this time, which was a waste of an opportunity provided by Belmore. For this reason, Toru Amuro thought in his mind that when the other party came back, he could find an opportunity to treat the other party to a feast prepared by himself. Express your apology to prevent the other person from being angry and not sharing information with you in the future.

Of course, this week was not completely fruitless. After all, he had determined that Shirley had not moved during this period. If the other party was not too calm, it was because he had managed to escape from the nearby area. No matter what, Don't worry about her being easily caught by the organization's people.

As long as Shirley is still alive and can hide herself well, with the intelligence advantage of the public security department behind her, sooner or later she will be able to secure her before the organization finds her, making her a sharp sword that can completely defeat the organization.

……

At the same time, on the top floor of a building in the United States, an old man wearing a black suit was listening to a report from a young male voice on the phone, and his two fingers were tapping the mahogany tabletop alternately.

The person who made the report was the young man who was previously responsible for the transaction at that stronghold, codenamed "Wasp". At this moment, he stated his inference truthfully: "Boss, I don't think those New York State Police have the ability and courage to directly There may be other hostile forces behind the attack on that stronghold."

"Hahaha, it seems that some desperate bugs have come to my territory to seek death." The old man known as Boss stopped the movement of his fingers, picked up a huge gem on the table, rubbed it and snorted. road.

"Wasp, since you already have suspicions, I'll leave this matter to you. It just so happens that the poisonous snake has returned home. I'll send him to you. You must find those bugs that are doing things in secret and don't let them affect you. Do you understand my plan?"

"Please rest assured, I will definitely catch those sneaky guys and let them know the horrific consequences for those who offend the organization." After receiving the instructions, the hornet made a promise in a sinister tone.

After ending the call, the old man slowly stood up and came to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking at the city with tall buildings in front of him, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The feeling that things seemed to be gradually deviating from the planned track kept swirling in his heart, making him unable to think for a long time. calm.

...Perhaps because there have been enough incidents this week, the return flight flew across the Pacific very smoothly, and finally landed at Tokyo International Airport without incident.

Due to jet lag, it was already the morning of the next day in Japan when the group got off the plane. However, having experienced jet lag, everyone had a good sleep on the plane, so they seemed to be in good spirits.

As soon as she left the airport, Natsumi saw Butler Sawabe waiting outside the lobby with the Kasaka family's motorcade, so she smiled and invited her friends to get in the car and send everyone to their respective homes.

However, Belmode and Grace did not go directly to the hotel. Instead, they followed Ishino's family to Yokosuka. They first sent Qinglan back to the castle, and then the group went to the city center to handle the adoption of Naia and Grace.

Due to the special nature of Yokosuka, unlike other cities in Japan, there are a large number of rules and facilities that are convenient for Americans. Therefore, after contacting Captain Radixiu to pass over the death certificate of Grace's parents, Belmode successfully settled in the local area. Obtained an adoption certificate.

The staff member handling the foreign adoption was a young American girl who happened to be a fan of both Chris and Grace, so when she first saw the two people without any disguise, she was stunned in front of the counter for a long time. It wasn't until Bellmore reminded her aloud that she was sure from the other person's voice that the person standing in front of her was the other person.

After learning that Grace chose to move to Japan with Chris because her parents were killed by gangsters, the staff member first looked shocked, then felt sad for what happened to her, and finally when the two left He expressed his encouragement to Grace and hoped that she could cheer up soon. He would always support her.

She didn't expect to meet her supporters in a foreign country. After hearing the other person's last words of encouragement, Grace couldn't help feeling warm in her heart, and she squeezed Belmode's hand slightly. A little tighter.

Although after she learned the truth that she and her parents had actually been working for the mafia, she felt that her life and efforts over the years had been like a dream, full of hypocrisy and lies, but at this moment she suddenly understood the truth about those people on the screen. The people who support me in front of magazines and magazines are real. They have always been silently supporting me.

Grace, who originally wanted to stay away from the sad place of showbiz, gave up her cowardly idea of ​​escaping at this moment and decided to return to the screen, not only to avoid disappointing and saddening those who support her. , but also to chase her dream, and the person who once gave her this dream is by her side now.

Feeling the warmth from the palms of Belmore's hands, who had legally become her mother, Grace raised her head to meet his loving gaze, and plucked up the courage to say, "Mom, I want to continue performing. In the future, I want to I want to be a big star like my mother!"

Seeing the renewed hope in the other person's eyes, Belmore touched his daughter's head and smiled happily: "Of course, you can do it!"
