Conan, but the winery

Page 57

"Doctor, are you familiar with President Yamatoda?" Karasuma Ying asked curiously, and Conan also turned to look at him.

Being stared at by these two people, Dr. Agasa felt a little embarrassed.

"We just had some friendship in the past. You don't know this yet, do you? President Yamato's heart has always been not very good. A few years ago, he asked me to make him a pacemaker. I guess he is still using it now...

We met at that time. Although we didn’t get to know each other very well, I could feel that President Yamato was essentially a person who cared about his reputation and… liked to save money.”

【save?】

Hearing this, Conan grinned and turned up his dead eyes.

[Doctor, you probably mean stingy, right? ]

Well, this is a common problem for many entrepreneurs...

Without listening any further, Conan turned his head and looked out the window at the East Tower across the street.

At this time, all the lights in the East Tower had been turned off, and the floors had been blocked by the police. Only one elevator, which was kept open to deal with emergencies, was still in operation.

But this elevator is also under real-time police surveillance, and anyone who uses the elevator is required to leave a record.

Based on this inference, if Kidd has really come, he must be in the West Tower, right?

After all, that tear of Cleopatra is here now too.

In the display case in the center of the banquet hall, a huge and beautiful emerald was sleeping there quietly.

How did that guy sneak in? How did he steal the gem?

Conan suddenly felt a headache.

Because compared to the elusive Kidd, he was actually more worried about another person.

Chrissy Wynyard.

When Chris entered the West Tower before, Conan had specifically observed that the policewoman in charge of the inspection did pinch her face, and there was indeed nothing abnormal on her face.

In other words, this face of hers is her original face, without any disguise.

The only one who can do this is Vermouth.

Because Vermouth and Chrissie Wynyard are essentially the same person with the same face.

Vermouth...what is the purpose of your organization this time?

It's a clear sign...

Chapter 68 Kaitou Kidd appears

"Shanqi, isn't Dad here yet?"

In a corner of the banquet hall on the first floor, Kenta looked a little anxious.

Opposite him was an old man with gray hair. He had a serious face, was wearing a suit and white gloves. He was the Yamatoda family's housekeeper and the president's secretary, Shan Qizhe.

"It's fine for me to give the toast, but according to the plan, Dad has to appear in front of everyone when the first wave of twin tower fireworks is lit.

He's not still in the East Tower, is he? He should be here by now..."

"Don't worry, Master Kenta. I'm also looking for the president." Shan Qizhe calmly comforted Kenta.

"Do you want me to call Ichiro?" Mrs. Sandong suggested.

"No." Shan Qizhe shook his head slightly and said, "The president hates waste the most. Let me find him again."

"Okay..." Mrs. Sandong sighed softly, agreeing with Shan Qizhe's words.

As the wife of Ichiro Yamato, she naturally knew how outrageous her husband's "thriftiness" was.

"I think mobile phones exist for times like this... Dad is a little too frugal."

Kenta said nothing more, his eyes once again focused on a familiar figure in the crowd.

"I'm going to meet a friend and will be right back."

After saying this, Kenta walked through the crowd and went straight to Karasuma Ying who was standing in front of a display case.

"Ying, long time no see."

Hearing the voice, Wu Wanying turned around and looked at him, smiling slightly.

"Long time no see, Kenta."

"I didn't expect to see you here."

"I'm surprised too. Aren't you studying sculpture in the United States, Kenta? Why did you suddenly return to China?"

At this time, Maori and others were watching on the other side of the hall, so Karasuma Ying did not hide anything anymore.

She and Kenta Yamato are friends in the United States. They met at an art exhibition.

And Kenta Yamato also knew her identity.

"It's all because of my father. He knew that I wasn't interested in this, but he kept urging me to come back and inherit the company..." Speaking of this, Kenta couldn't help but complain.

Karasuma Ying was somewhat aware of the conflict between Kenta and his father Ichiro Yamato.

Kenta is obsessed with art and is unwilling to get too involved in the company's affairs, but he is the only son of Ichiro Yamato, and he is the only one who can inherit this huge family business.

Therefore, the conflict between father and son over the issue of company succession broke out several years ago.

Over the years, Kenta has been hiding in the United States and refusing to return to Japan, which is essentially a silent resistance to his father.

But hiding like this is not a solution. I think Kenta is willing to return to Japan this time. He probably wants to have a showdown with his father through this party...

Neither of them discussed this issue too much. Kenta looked at Karasuma Ying beside him, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but asked:

"Ying, when you came to Japan this time, your grandfather..."

"It has nothing to do with him. I came here by myself." Wu Wanying shook her head slightly, as if she didn't want him to ask too many questions.

"Understood……"

Kenta nodded, and silence fell between the two for a moment.

He had known Wu Wanying a few years ago and knew Wu Wanying's identity. He also knew Wu Wanying's grandfather who had a strong desire for control...

"Okay, Kenta, stop wasting my time. As the president's son, you should have a lot to do at the party tonight, right? Go quickly."

"Okay, Na Ying, you should also be more careful. After all, that Kaito Kidd is likely to come tonight."

"Don't worry. I heard that Kaito Kid only steals gems. Kenta, you should worry more about the emerald in your house than I do."

"I see."

After a brief reunion, Kenta left directly. Just as Karasuma Ying said, there was indeed a need for him to host the party tonight.

"Did you two know each other?"

A cold voice suddenly sounded behind her. Karasuma Ying turned around suddenly and found that Huihara Ai was standing behind her without her knowing.

"Ai? When did you come?" Karasuma Ying asked with a smile, a little flustered.

"Just now."

Haibara Ai looked at her with a meaningful smile on her face, but she quickly put away the smile and returned to her usual expressionless look.

"It's really unexpected that Sister Xiaoying knows the son of such a big consortium."

"It's not that exaggerated. I'm just a friend I met by chance at an art exhibition before..."

"Ah~ Then why would Sister Xiaoying want to deliberately hide your relationship?"

"Because Kenta is not married yet, I'm afraid our relationship will cause him trouble." Karasuma Ying forced herself to keep a smile on her face.

[This child's choice of words is really sharp...]

“Oh, I see. That’s how it is.”

Haibara Ai put her hands behind her back, nodded, then turned and walked towards Professor Agasa who was not far away.

It seems that she believed Wu Wanying's explanation?

After admiring all kinds of luxurious goods of Ed Company in the banquet hall on the first floor, the crowd was gradually led to the main venue of the party - the party venue stage on the top floor of the West Tower.

Here, the performance of the evening will truly begin.

In order to prevent the possible appearance of Kaito Kidd from affecting the progress of the party, Ed Company has made good efforts this time.

As for the Tears of Cleopatra placed in the banquet hall on the first floor, the police will temporarily take over and protect them.

"Dear guests! Tonight is the 20th anniversary party of the establishment of the Aide Group. Thank you very much for coming! Here, on behalf of my father..."

On the stage, Kenta was giving a toast on behalf of Ichiro Yamato who was not present.

Under the stage where there were crowds of people everywhere, Karasuma Ying finally learned some arrangements for tonight's party from the waiter.

First there was the evening toast, then the first wave of fireworks, followed by the second wave of fireworks ten minutes later, and then a fashion show starring Chrissie Wynyard...

So, that person should be preparing backstage now, right?

After a brief thought, Karasuma Ying stood up and said to Mao Lilan:

"Xiaolan, I'm going to the bathroom and will be back soon."

She decided to go backstage to see what was going on, and if she had the chance, she would confront the man directly.

【Toilet?】

When Conan heard this word, he suddenly had an idea.

He had just learned from a waiter that Chris Wynyard's fashion show was about to begin.

At this moment, Vermouth must be preparing in the backstage! He can take this opportunity to confront her!

"Sister Xiaoying! I want to go too!"

Thinking of this, Conan jumped up, grabbed Karasuma Ying's hand, and spoke in a cute tone.

"Eh? Conan?"

Seeing this, Huiyuan Ai beside her suddenly stood up and said calmly:
