Conan's Unscientific Detective

Fujino shook his head, turned around and said: "Now that everyone is here, let's set off quickly!"

Conan: "..."

"How about it?"

Ai Huihara put her hands behind her back and walked slowly past Conan: "This feeling is not good, right?"

"..."

After a moment's silence, Conan let out a long sigh.

Damn, why do I feel like Fujino is taking revenge on me!

Conan thought so and scratched his hair hard.

Damn it, it’s getting more and more uncomfortable not knowing who the murderer is!

…………

Kogoro Mori drove the car and everyone soon arrived at the Tokiwa Twin Towers in Nishitama City.

After handing over the invitation letter, I took the VIP elevator and soon arrived at the banquet hall.

Compared to the previous few days, today's banquet hall is much more luxurious.

There were a bunch of celebrities at the scene, all dressed in suits and ties.

Although he may not be a top star, he is the kind that can be often seen on TV.

They were just detectives, and the only two people at the scene were Fujino and Maori Kogoro.

He originally planned to make friends with celebrities, but after seeing the food on the table, Kogoro Mori forgot his original intention and went straight for the high-end food.

"How cool! This sports car!"

"Of course, this is a convertible sports car from Ford's Mustang series!"

The three little members of the Young Detective Team gathered in front of a red sports car placed in the exhibition hall, chattering and making noises.

Fujino also came forward to look at the sports car, and Haibara Ai followed behind him.

Mitsuhiko turned around and looked at Fujino: "I remember that Fujino's car seemed to be a Ford as well."

"Yes, the 1989 Ford Taurus SHO."

Fujino nodded and looked at Mitsuhiko: "I didn't expect you to know so much about cars."

"hey-hey!"

Mitsuhiko smiled awkwardly, like a child: "I only know a little bit, I've read some magazines."

"But why did they transport this car up here?"

Yuan Tai was curious at this time and asked: "And how did such a car get here?"

"It should be some large freight elevator. Buildings like this should all have it."

Fujino thought for a moment and continued, "As for why such a car appeared, I think it should be some kind of mini-game..."

"Dear guests, I am deeply grateful for your presence at the opening ceremony of our Tokiwa Group's twin tower skyscraper today. As an entertainment, I would like to invite you to play a little game."

Before Fujino could finish his words, a burst of female voices came from all directions.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Tokiwa Mio appear on the stage of the banquet wearing an evening gown with a black upper body with gold patterns and a lavender long skirt on the lower body.

"The inspiration for this game comes from my father's name, Tokiwa Kaneshige. It is the 30th anniversary of our Tokiwa Group, so the game with time as the theme is the guessing game of 30 seconds."

Mio Tokiwa waved her hand and pointed at the sports car in front of the group, and continued, "The guest who guessed correctly, or who was closest to thirty seconds, will get the Mustang convertible sports car on display."

Haibara Ai:"……?"

She was obviously stunned for a moment and looked up at Fujino.

I don't know why, why do I feel like there is a conspiracy?

I just finished talking about the mini-game and here it comes...

"Now, please ask the guests who are participating in the game to deposit their watches with us."

Tokiwa Mio continued, "Afterwards, we will present a gem that matches the value of each of your watches."

Haibara Ai:"???"

She raised her eyes and glanced at the Rolex in Fujino's hand.

Suddenly I felt that the smell of conspiracy was getting stronger and stronger.

Did you discuss this in advance?

"Amazing!"

Xiaolan looked at Yuanzi beside her with some excitement: "It's actually a gem!"

"Yes."

Yuanzi bit her finger, looking a little unwilling to think: "This time, the activity organized by the Tokiwa Group is quite large..."

Fujino: "..."

Why do I feel like you seem a little unconvinced?

They can fight for victory or defeat, they are worthy of being the women of the group.

Or are you also thinking of making some money from the Tokiwa Group?

Fujino took back his thoughts and didn't quite understand, but he still reminded her: "Sonoko, don't bite your fingers."

"what?"

Yuanzi was stunned for a moment.

"Your fingers might be poisoned!"

Conan reminded from the side: "The last murder case we encountered took advantage of the habit of biting fingers."

Yuanzi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately pulled his hand back in embarrassment.

It looks like it won't bite again.

Averted a way to be killed by the Rice Krispies.

“Participating guests please put your watch in the basket!”

At this time, Sawaguchi Chinami came to Fujino and Xiaolan with a basket and a few small flags in her hands.

"I don't have to!"

Conan shook his head and had no intention of handing over his watch.

It would be troublesome if the anesthetic needle was accidentally ejected.

"I checked the time first."

Fujino glanced at the time on the watch on his wrist, moved his ears slightly, listened to the time on Conan's watch, and checked the time.

Seeing that the time was correct, he handed the watch to Sawaguchi Chinami.

Haibara Ai also took off her watch and participated in the game.

"Ready, the game begins!"

Accompanied by a sound of starting command.

The people around were counting silently.

Fujino closed his eyes and listened to the pointer moving slowly.

In terms of perception ability, it is still very easy for him to listen to the sound of the hour hand ticking on a watch.

In a word, it's cheating.

It’s hard not to win.

When he jumped to 30, Fujino raised the flag in his hand.

“Congratulations to the guest who raised the red flag!”

Mio Tokiwa's voice came from the podium. She looked at Fujino and was stunned for a moment, then continued: "It turns out to be the famous detective Mr. Fujino. Please come to the stage."

Fujino walked onto the stage, the two of them exchanged a few polite words, and then walked down the stage together.

"I didn't expect that even the prize was taken away by Mr. Fujino."

Mio Tokiwa smiled awkwardly. She didn't expect that Fujino would beat her to the grand slam. She felt like she had lost out.

"I didn't expect you to come up with a game like this. This is not directly related to your major."

Fujino put his hands in his pockets and said, "By the way, just give me money for my gemstone... As for its value, a limited edition Rolex in red and black, 10 million yen."

Tokiwa Mio: “…”

Why do I feel like you planned this?

Even this has been calculated?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 427 Are all artists so extreme?

"I understand."

Tokiwa Mio sighed helplessly in her heart, feeling a little tired: "Then the car... do you need help to exchange it for money?"

"The car is no longer needed."

Fujino smiled and continued, "You can use this as an excuse to put the previous commission and the 10 million in the trunk and give it to me. That way, a lot of trouble can be avoided."

"..."

Tokiwa Mio was silent for a while, feeling that she had lost a lot this time.

First he spent 35 million and got into trouble, then he was defrauded of 10 million and a sports car was taken away with him...

Why do I feel like I've been played by this detective from the very beginning?

Although money is just a number to her.

But this feeling of being played unilaterally...

As a strong woman, she has always had the privilege of playing with others.

Where have you been fooled?

"ladies and gentlemen!"

At this time, the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed, and a male host appeared on the stage under the spotlight. He waved to the big screen in front of the stage and said, "Next, I would like to introduce to you the important guests of this banquet, the famous landscape painter of our country, Ruyue Fengshui's paintings..."

"In that case, I won't bother you any more, Ms. Tokiwa."

Fujino glanced at Ruyue Fengshui who was walking onto the stage in the dim environment, and reminded him: "Remember to fulfill your promise before."

"Then I'll excuse myself first..."

Having her thoughts interrupted, Tokiwa Mio smiled without changing her expression and walked towards the stage.

"Thirty-five million...ten million, and a Ford sports car."

Fujino stared at Tokiwa Mio's back and calculated in his mind: "The total value is more than 50 million, close to 60 million... If this woman dies, everything will be ruined."

…………

Behind the curtain of the banquet stage.

Ruzuki Minemizu silently put his crutches on the ground. With the help of the dim light on the stage, he put his crutches on the ground and then took out a pearl necklace from his pocket.

Then he hooked the hook connected by steel wire under the huge painting hanging nearby onto the necklace.

After thinking for a while, he took out a small porcelain cup from his pocket, placed it on the stage, and then slowly walked towards Tokiwa Mio who was in the center of the stage.

Kisaragi Minemizu reached out and quietly untied the necklace that Tokiwa Mio was wearing around her neck.

"Kata!"

The necklace fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Ugh?"
