I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"You two! I should have told you that the VIP elevator is for guests! The elevator for the staff is in the back!"

"Ah... yes yes, I'm sorry!"

After being scolded by the president, the two staff members who were chatting and laughing just a second ago immediately ran away.

What an amazing woman...

Just when everyone was still amazed at the ruthless methods of President Tokiwa, Serabelle suddenly noticed that the brown-haired girl standing next to Mingmei seemed to have heard something extremely terrifying. Her small body shook violently, her head lowered, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"That car..."

Due to excessive fear, Haibara Ai's upper and lower teeth were chattering, making a clicking sound.

Mingmei also noticed her sister's abnormality at this time, and leaned over to express her concern.

"Shi...Ai-chan, are you okay?"

"That car..."

After repeating what she had just said, the brown-haired girl swallowed hard before she finished the rest of her words.

"It's Gin's."

Chapter 159 Don't Go, You Can't Beat Them

"What?! You said Qin..."

The winery radar was sounded and Conan's expression changed instantly.

He turned around and was about to rush to the elevator, but Serabel grabbed his shoulder in time.

"Don't worry. Regardless of whether it is them or not, even if it is, it's too late for you to rush down right now."

"But……"

Serabelle glanced at him and said, "No buts. Don't forget that this is the top floor, the 75th floor. According to the VIP elevator's speed of four seconds per floor, it will take you exactly three hundred seconds to get to the first floor, which is five minutes. You don't think they would be stupid enough to wait for you in the car for five minutes, do you?"

"I can do that while they're not in the car..."

Conan twisted his shoulders but still refused to give up.

"Want to install trackers and eavesdropping devices? Wake up, that's even more dangerous."

Serabelle moved her lips, lowering her voice to a level that only Mingmei and others beside her could hear.

"You don't think that people like them would feel comfortable parking their cars outside. Judging from their action pattern of two people in a group, at least one of them will keep an eye on the vehicle. If they see your dog sneaking up to it, you're dead."

Conan gritted his teeth: "But can we just let them go like this..."

Serabelle still maintained the same attitude: "If you firmly believe that Gin will show mercy to a seven-year-old elementary school student like you, then you can go. I won't stop you."

tsk...

Conan clicked his tongue in his heart.

This is a problem that can be figured out with just a thought. If you expect Gin to show mercy to the child, then he would rather believe that Vodka will wear two-dimensional clothes and go to the concert to cheer for his idol!

Not far away, Kogoro Mori was still talking to his high school junior Mio Tokiwa.

Serabelle withdrew her gaze and patted Conan's shoulder.

"Relax, it's not a big deal. They are not crazy enough to break into someone else's company building and cause trouble in broad daylight. They are not dressed so conspicuously. The employees of Tokiwa Group are not stupid."

"..."

Although he was unwilling, Conan had to admit that what Serabelle said was true.

At the same time, cheers from children and an older girl could be heard from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the banquet hall.

"Wow, that eggshell on the building across the street is so big!"

"Yeah yeah!"

“…That’s not an eggshell.”

Hearing the conversation coming from the window, Tokiwa Mio walked over, looked down through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of Building A to the roof of Building B opposite, and explained with a smile.

"That's the semi-open-air bath on the top floor of Building B. It hasn't been officially put into use yet, so what you see now is the top is not open. After it is officially put into operation, the top floor will be opened every time the weather is fine, so that tourists can enjoy Mount Fuji in the distance even when swimming."

“Great~”

Yukiko's eyes lit up.

"So the employees of Tokiwa Group are treated so well?"

"Ah? Oh, that's not the case..."

This question really made her brain short-circuit. It took Mio Tokiwa a moment to react and she waved her hands helplessly.

She stepped on the red carpet in the banquet hall.

"In fact, the A building we are in now is used by the Tokiwa Group from the 31st floor upwards. As for the B building we are seeing now, it is used for commercial purposes. The lower floors are shops and the upper floors are hotels. All of them are open to the public and are not used by the Tokiwa Group internally."

"Oh, that's it!"

She didn't know what she was thinking of, but when she heard that the place was not only open to Tokiwa's internal employees, Yukiko's eyes brightened and she inexplicably felt eager to try it out.

At this time, Oki Iwamatsu also came to the side of Tokiwa Mio, still with that red nose and reeking of alcohol, and a hint of vulgarity in his hazy eyes.

"Mio, I want to stay at Hotel Building B tonight. Is that okay?"

Tokiwa Mio was slightly stunned: "Well, but the hotel is not in use yet..."

"So that means it's not possible?"

Oki Yansong glanced to the side and said this intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of obvious displeasure flashing across his fat and flabby face.

Just as Tokiwa Mio said before, Oki Iwamatsu played an almost decisive role in the completion of the building, and the financial power of the Tokiwa Group is far less powerful than that of the Suzuki Group, so it cannot speak so firmly.

To put it simply, the other party can allow her building to be successfully completed, but can also severely hinder all subsequent operations.

After weighing the pros and cons, Tokiwa Mio concealed the flash of disgust in her eyes and bowed politely.

"Understood. I will prepare the best suite on the sixty-seventh floor for you."

"Hehe... Compared to this, I actually want to invite you, Mio, to dinner..."

After getting the answer he expected, the complacent Damu Yansong became even more demanding.

Serabelle yawned and was too lazy to read on. Taking bribes was an old tradition that had been passed down since the concept of human bureaucracy emerged. Not only in Japan, such people existed even in the British MI6, and there were quite a few of them.

We are all pretty much the same jerk, so don't let the eldest brother laugh at the second brother.

On the other side, the three young detectives, who soon became bored with the scenery, started to pester Yuan Jiaming, who happened to be eating chocolate. However, it seemed that the two of them were having a good chat. They had even discussed that they would go to the latter's house in a few days while it was still summer vacation to help test the newly written game software.

For a moment, the people chatting in the huge banquet hall were divided into several small groups.

Ruyue Fengshui, who had not spoken since they met, including when introducing himself, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he raised his voice slightly.

"That's enough, Mio, I want to go back!"

After saying that, he walked quickly towards the elevator without looking back. His legs were so nimble that you wouldn't look like an old man who needed a cane.

"Teacher, let me see you off!"

"No need!"

Tokiwa Mio hurried to catch up, but was almost stopped by Kisaragi Minemizu in a stern voice, so she had to stop. However, she still walked him to the elevator door and bowed to him through the door.

Hidehiko Kazama turned his head and smiled at Kogoro Mori, who had a dazed look on his face and didn't know what was going on.

"Because President Tokiwa often buys up Mr. Kisaragi's paintings and sells them at high prices, Mr. Kisaragi is a little bit..."

"Oh, I see."

Kogoro Maori nodded hastily.

As a result, the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became a little awkward.

If the situation is not right, just ignore the scenery. When Tokiwa Mio calmed down and came back from the elevator, Maori Kogoro tactfully took the opportunity to take his leave on the grounds that "it would not interfere with the preparations for the opening ceremony."

"I understand, let's go here today."

Tokiwa Mio, who already had a lot of things to do, did not try to persuade him to stay, but just bowed again.

"As for the opening ceremony next week, I will send invitations to you all later. Please come then."

Chapter 160 Mary: (Angry) (Angry) (Angry)

As expected, by the time Serabelle and the others returned downstairs, the Porsche 356A had disappeared without a trace.

After that, everyone naturally went back to their homes.

The two sisters Yukiko and Miyano still rode in Serabelle's car, while the three little ones from the Junior Detective League rode in Professor Agasa's car.

The most miserable person was Uncle Maori. Not only was he under the care of his daughter and her best friend all the way from Tokyo to Nishitama City, but he also ran into an acquaintance. When he went back, he even had to wait for a taxi.

Fortunately, Conan still had a conscience and politely declined to ride in Dr. Agasa's car. He stayed and said he wanted to go back with his father-in-law.

The perspective changes, and as the sunset gradually sinks into the horizon, the Beetle and the Audi are driving one after the other on the highway at the junction of Nishitama City and Tokyo.

Inside the car, Yukiko, who was sitting on the passenger seat, slightly unfastened the seat belt in front of her chest and turned sideways towards Haibara Ai and Miyano Akemi in the back seat.

"By the way, is Ai-chan okay? She looked like she wasn't feeling well in the banquet hall earlier. Did something happen?"

"Yes……"

Miyano Akemi hesitated.

Serabel spoke straightforwardly: "According to the two Tokiwa Group staff who came up from the VIP elevator before, they saw the car downstairs of the murderer who may have sapped your son and drugged him to make him smaller. "

Yukiko's expression changed slightly: "Is he from that organization?"

"It's just a possibility, not a certainty."

Serabelle shrugged.

"Maybe, maybe not. I just saw that the model was a Porsche 356A, but there was more than one car sold that year. Even now it is still relatively rare, not completely out of print."

"Then treat him as he is."

Yukiko thought about it seriously.

"If they are really the ones, since they parked their car under the Twin Towers, they are obviously heading for the Tokiwa Group. What is their purpose?"

"Hmm~ hard to say."

After getting off the highway and merging into the suburban road, Serabelle shifted down a gear, slowed down the car and shook his head.

"From what I know, they seem to do everything, from extortion to underground transactions to dealing with traitors. It seems that they are responsible for all the dirty work. It feels like... uh..."

Serabelle was stuck for a moment.

Everyone has a point on the tip of their tongue but can't immediately come up with a suitable adjective. He is in this situation now.

"It's harder to be an outsourced worker, with little pay, a lot of work, and the blame on others!"

Yukiko understood and continued.

"Oh yes, that's it!"

Serabelle agreed with a crisp snap of her fingers.

Hearing this description, the Miyano sisters in the back seat twitched their lips slightly.

How should I put it? As former members of the peripheral and core organizations, the notoriety of Gin and Vodka is known to almost everyone in the organization.

These two are like killing gods. No one in the entire organization dares to mess with them, and no one will mess with them.

As a result, now being described like this... It’s not that it’s inappropriate, but rather, because it’s too appropriate, it makes people feel sympathetic, as if “we’re all in this together, it’s not easy for everyone.”

Of course, this is premised on the Mingmei incident not happening.

At least for now, neither Akemi nor Haibara Ai can muster any sympathy for Gin and Vodka.

Yukiko muttered to herself, "Is that so?", and pinched her chin as she thought for a while, then turned back to Serabelle.

"Then, do you plan to go to the opening ceremony, Bell-kun?"
