Winette approaches Haru Eragawa.

"Would you like a drink, sir?"

"Well, okay." He was about to take the cup.

As expected, some of it spilled during the process of passing it, dripping onto Haru Egawa's clothes. Winette apologized repeatedly, acting panicked, and took out a handkerchief to help him clean it. Obviously, this is a man who is not very good at dealing with women. His suit doesn't look very fitting, and he has the same hairstyle as Mitsuhiko. Although he has no freckles, his skin is not good, which shows that he often stays up late. She used the wine she paid for to mark him, and added fragrance to it, so she could distinguish his approximate location among various smells.

He was lenient about it and said it was okay. At this time, the woman next to him named Sicheng Lisa showed a sarcastic smile.

"People who are good at pleasing others always act generous. I didn't expect you to be so generous to a waiter. Your taste is really not that good." said the woman.

"You go first."

Haru Erikawa seemed to have gotten used to it and let her leave first.

Winnet was quite critical of what the woman said. Although the face was not hers, the contents were.

What does it mean to have bad taste?

Believe it or not, Miss Winnet will give you a big bag!

Well, this is venting Ai’s anger, she thought.

"Shut up." Their other companion Ishii came out to smooth things over, "Don't you always throw your work to Erakawa? Besides, his efforts and achievements are obvious to all of us. Don't say anything like 'to please the professor'."

He stood up, and the woman snorted coldly. At the same time, he patted Erikawa's shoulder, hoping that he would not mind it, and wanted to help him wipe the wine. Erikawa felt embarrassed, so he shrank back and asked for the handkerchief to wipe it himself.

Winette looked at the three men.

Perhaps the person who contacted the spy was among them.

……

497 I feel inferior to Dr. Agasa

Not long after, the main stage welcomed the first round of demonstrations, with film and television screens and physical tests running in parallel. The venue became quiet, as this was the core of the meeting. Except for the third micro-manipulation robot, which interested her a little, there was nothing else worth paying attention to. In her memory, the development of robots was already far ahead of the times, but with the rapid development here, perhaps they would be available in a year or two.

By the way, why does this year feel so extra long?

Miss Winnett gave up thinking and continued to keep her eyes on the suspicious people in the venue, but soon she wanted to yawn. It was obvious that the suspicious people would not show suspicion on their faces.

Especially people like agents, they will make others look far more suspicious than themselves.

So she went back to observe the three people.

A pair of good brothers.

A woman who doesn't fit in.

While I was secretly eating the third plate of cakes, Asakura Kosuke came on stage. She had never been to school properly, so she didn't understand the nonsense coefficients and fine millimeters, but she knew it was amazing because everyone acted like they were amazing. Especially the American, whose eyes were wide open, just like the bald eagle on his national emblem.

However, it is just great talk. It can be successful in theory, but it has not yet been put into practical use.

There are quite a few unqualified people in there.

Winnett felt that a large part of them were not as good as Dr. Agasa. Take any of the bow-tie voice changers or foot strength fitness, and the CIA head would have to kowtow to Dr. Agasa, and the ugly melons and jujubes here would have to respect him as the big brother like the gangsters in Hong Kong movies.

I was fortunate enough to witness Edogawa Conan's solar skateboard.

That little motor!

Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta.

A little white smoke.

Who was that flash by?

It’s me, said the skateboard.

Leaving behind exhaust fumes and sparks.

It really exists.

Shocking, an elementary school student rode a skateboard and had fun on the roller coaster.

She didn't have the confidence to play like this.

I really want you to go to heaven at three o'clock in the morning, but you should report here at the first o'clock.

It's like Newton was hit by an apple and turned into Lolita.

Looking at the scene, in short, once this technology is put into production, the existing digital accuracy will be further improved, and related developing equipment will usher in an era of low cost and high quality.

Miss Winnett thought of her SLR camera.

Forgot to buy it.

So busy.

She thought about it and decided that this kind of technology was totally unnecessary. No matter whether she was watching the 720 or 1080 VIP exclusive video, the picture she saw was less than half of the 360... Well, she didn't understand anything about resolution.

糊!

As soon as Asakura finished his speech, there was a constant round of applause, and the host also praised him highly. Then there were people who flocked to him and wanted to make friends with him. He seemed humble and expressed that he was flattered, but in fact he alienated those people. His arrogance was visible to the naked eye. His speech was the last one, and after the free exchange time, he left the stage due to illness, although his face was ruddy and he was smiling.

Haru Eragawa walked up to the crowd and whispered something to Asakura. They retreated to the rest area together. There were rooms prepared for guests there, based on the researchers' related units. Asakura was from the Optical Society.

During the speech, Erikawa helped with operations and demonstrations more than once.

Winette finally understood why they chose this time to trade. She heard that the organization had recently developed a system for secretly reading and copying. In full view of everyone, Asakura used a mobile storage disk and software to copy all the data.

No wonder he hated Asakura to the point of cooperating with the organization.

Even the left and right hands have to be guarded. On the one hand, they use their research results, on the other hand, they do not share the technical theories they have summarized, and even do not give them corresponding treatment. No matter where they work, workers are exploited, Winette thought, and she felt a little sorry for Erikawa.

It seems that he is not the type to have it both ways.

She didn't believe that there was no coercion in the process of establishing cooperation with the organization. This man was probably a weak and flattering personality. Asakura thought he was honest enough, so he brought him with him. However, when a dog is desperate, it will jump over the wall, not to mention not giving a person the corresponding respect. Strictly speaking, this is not a one-sided fantasy. Winnet has seen many similar examples.

After a little processing of these details, the most suspicious person falls on the extremely jealous woman.

Jealousy can make people temporarily lose their rationality and even have thoughts of destroying everything and dying together.

However, it is also possible that Eragawa is a seemingly loyal brother.

These thoughts made her temporarily ignore the movements of Eragawa. The two of them who were in the room would soon receive a visit from the TV station. In her opinion, with Asakura's arrogance, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to publicize himself and his achievements. The presence of the popular female announcer Mizunashi Reina would add a lot of color. As long as they took this opportunity to complete the transaction, the matter would be over.

Only about 20% of the guests left, and Winnet followed the two to the lounge. Using her miraculous tracking skills, she could not be detected in the narrow space, and changed her waiter uniform into her original clothes, making herself look like a member of the scientific research team. Soon, the two went their separate ways, Ishii went into the lounge, and Sasaki Risa went into the bathroom. As both were women, it was more convenient for them to choose the latter. At the sink, Winnet received a call from Gin.

"The prey is in the cage," he said.

Winette did not reply, but tapped the table and responded in code.

Gin sent out a signal, indicating that he had targeted or eliminated a group of people, but some of them slipped through the net and entered her cage. After escaping, he found that he had just arrived in another hell. The desperate script is about to begin.

At the elevator door, she caught a glimpse of a man in his forties passing by. He had a thick beard and was very casual in his gestures. He didn't seem nervous about the environment at all. He was wearing a white coat like a doctor over a formal suit. He seemed to be one of the researchers. However, Winnet still found him out of place.

The sound of walking.

The friction created by the natural swinging of the body.

Generally speaking, it is possible to produce this sound if you put more than two small objects in your pocket, but the sound he made was that of a heavy object.

These may be some small items to accompany the experiment.

"Do you know where the room at Qingtian Research Institute is?" Winnett spoke to him.

"No, I just came out of the venue too."

"I don't think I saw you at the conference. I even chatted with Dr. Asakura's assistant. By the way, sir, which organization are you from?"

"Ah... I'm from the Mechanical Research Institute."

So that's it. She made a surprised expression, but inwardly she was feeling contempt, because she had already checked the personnel of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering at the venue, and the man was not among them.

His attitude was very natural. He even talked to her about Asakura's research, using some professional terms and expressing his admiration. Finally, he casually talked about Asakura's students and asked her what she talked about with him. At the end, he mentioned that they seemed to be dissatisfied with Asakura, but at least there was no flaw in his words.

However, the fact that he was interested in Asakura and others and that his interest went beyond technology was already a flaw.

……

498 Unexpected Death

Just as the man left the elevator on the floor leading to Asakura's room, Winette continued to ride it, and changed to another one at the next staircase, ready to check on Ishii Daiki's situation and then tip off Gin. Although she could do it herself, there were too many people here, and once she did it, Mizunashi Reina would not be able to leave the scene, and as the murderer, she could not stay at the scene, not to mention that she was using a fake identity.

In front of the preparation room of the Optical Society, Winnett didn't see Ishii, and for a moment she suspected that he was going to contact the spy; but the professor's "close attendant" Haruka Eragawa could only steal information during the presentation, and the probability that he had the information was too low. Following this thought, she subconsciously felt that Eragawa was in crisis - he might have confided his thoughts to his brother when he was depressed or drunk.

Winette turned around and headed for Asakura's private lounge.

Before that, she saw the TV station staff. Mizuno Reina, who was sandwiched between the filming staff, had taken off her corsage, indicating that the information had been obtained and everything was going well.

Obviously the spy man did not know that Reina Mizunoshi was the contact person of the organization.

It seems that Gin's worries are unnecessary, she thought.

She took the stairs.

Before she even stepped out of the stairs, she heard hurried footsteps. She quietly looked out and saw the man pressing the elevator button with an anxious look on his face.

Not taking the stairs should be for the sake of speed.

Although this place is called Academic Hall, it is actually a high-rise building with floors divided into different functions. The banquet hall for academic conferences is on the eleventh floor.

These are the floors provided for researchers to temporarily rest, from the twelfth to the fourteenth floors.

Could it be that……

The elevator started for a while, and while she was still thinking, a sharp female scream echoed throughout the entire floor.

murder.

Because she was too familiar with similar situations, this word popped into Winnet's mind first.

But Xiaolan's scream is much better to hear.

She was very familiar with the voice, it was Risa Tsukasa's. Therefore, it was certain that the dead person was among Asakura's group.

If Haruka Eragawa died, she would probably have to bear some responsibility. Gin had asked her to protect him. From the results, Gil got the information, she also filled her stomach with pastries, everything was fine, but it was still a trivial mistake. She didn't know why the agent dared to kill recklessly.

It certainly wasn't because he was angry and embarrassed because he didn't get the information.

Sealing, or other reasons?

She was trying to figure out the problem at the stairs, but she didn't understand it. Someone else came to check the situation. It was a staff member like her who happened to blend in. Immediately, she saw Risa Sicheng, who looked pale and could hardly stand, throwing herself on the male employee next to her.

Kosuke Asakura is dead.

It was different from what Winnett had expected. Although Risa Jijo was so scared that she was talking nonsense, she was not mistaken about the dead body. The male employee next to her ran quickly to the entrance of the room, and then subconsciously took two steps back.

He turned around and asked Winnet to call the police.

Fortunately, there was no surveillance in the stairwell, otherwise she would undoubtedly be listed as a suspicious person. Since this happened, Kiel certainly couldn't evacuate directly. She took out the female employee's phone to call the police, and was transferred to her old acquaintance Gao Mu. The efficiency of the Japanese police was as fast as ever. In less than fifteen minutes, police cars were already surrounding the entrance of the building.

The elevator is under surveillance, which means that the agent can run away but he cannot escape the temple, as his employer is still here.

Winnett glanced into the room and found Asakura Kosuke lying on a chair with a long knife stuck in his abdomen. He was bleeding heavily, as if the murderer had used the knife to stir his abdomen. However, she was not a detective and did not have the immunity to inspect the scene. While she was waiting, two other students of Asakura also rushed over: Haru Egawa and Daiki Ishii. Haru Egawa seemed very scared, afraid that he was the one who should have died; Ishii was much calmer. He entered the room like a detective, and after a while he came out and shook his head, expressing regretfully that he was already dead.

For her, it was good enough that it wasn't Haru Eragawa who died. Seeing that he was still alive and kicking, Winnet couldn't help wondering what the agent was doing here. Seeing that he was in a hurry to leave the scene, she inferred that he had killed Asakura or had seen Asakura's death. It could be an accidental mistake, or it could be a deliberate murder, otherwise, he wouldn't have had to leave in a hurry. But judging from the murder weapon, it was more likely that the murderer was not the agent. Winnet felt that Asakura Kousuke's death was just a coincidence. After all, he was indeed the type that people hated.

After the police arrived, they confirmed the visitor list, temporarily controlled all the visiting guests, and recalled those who left within an hour. After they arrived at the scene, they quickly entered the room to check on the condition of the deceased. Winette, as the same discoverer, was questioned together with the first discoverer, Risa Sicheng. Risa Sicheng was reluctant to approach the room, but she was different from another male waiter. She told the police that she saw Kosuke Asakura stabbed in the abdomen on the stool. It was still the combination of Megure and Takagi, but Officer Sato was not there.

That tough female police officer probably only shows her skills when she is arresting a criminal in the act.

Another police officer named Chiba was helping out.

Winette saw him and felt like she had something to say. Last time when he was waiting outside Maori's house, he was just a chubby police officer. Now he has become much rounder and has a kind and innocent look. Under Megure's command, Chiba ran out to call the person in charge of the hall and the relevant personnel of the meeting. Takagi cooperated with the investigation and evidence collection, and took a camera to take pictures everywhere.

After their initial investigation, they turned their attention to the people who had been involved with Asakura recently, including three of his students, the TV crew who came to interview him, including Kiel, and the Americans who had been pestering Asakura. According to Ishii, the Americans later came to the lounge to find Asakura, and it seemed that they were having an unpleasant conversation. Because his room was downstairs, he could hear the quarrel upstairs.

This happened about fifteen minutes ago.

Combined with the time when the agent came, it can be seen that the negotiation was not going well and they were planning to use other means. However, the agent's appearance did not look like he had succeeded. He just left calmly after killing people and stealing treasures. He was not a novice, so why would he panic like that? The answer was obvious, something unexpected happened.

"The guy from Kasman seems to want to buy out the professor's patented technology, so the professor is very angry. I even heard the sound of glass breaking." Ishii Daiki added, "And the professor would never transfer the technology to someone else, especially a foreigner. He has long claimed that he would use this technology to take Japan's photolithography industry a step further and occupy the world market."

……

499 Standard Internal Conflict

Haru Egawa also confirmed that Kousuke Asakura did say this.

The police's attention was immediately focused on the foreign group.
