Chapter 1288 Mr. Asano Is Getting Married (More Updates Will Be Added Through Crowdfunding)
"Give me a moment!"
Mori, Kogoro, Conan and other detectives immediately rushed here as quickly as possible.
They surrounded the fallen man and prevented the rest of the people who did not know the truth from destroying the scene at will.
"Xiaolan, call the police quickly!" Maori Kogoro said loudly to Maorilan while testing the man's heartbeat.
The uncle tried to perform CPR on the man, but Hattori Heiji on the other side had already concluded: "He has stopped breathing and has no heartbeat. His face is normal and his lips are purple. It may be caused by insufficient blood supply to the heart."
Conan held up the deceased's eyelids with a handkerchief and looked at him with a serious expression: "Hemorrhage under the conjunctival membrane of the eye is a symptom of suffocation."
"Could it be pulmonary embolism?"
"This will only be known after further examination by the doctor. The possibility of homicide has not been ruled out yet."
Because of this horrific incident, Rum's speech had to be interrupted. He seemed to be in a good mood, even leisurely watching the detective's investigation.
Akai Shuichi withdrew his gaze, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his lips.
Belmod laughed when he saw this: "What, you suspect it's me?"
No need to doubt.
Akai Shuichi affirmed in his heart.
The deceased was the producer who had offended Belmod before, and Belmod was the only person who had touched the deceased before he was killed. If she took the opportunity to smear APTX-4869 powder on the fingertips of the deceased, he would accidentally take the poison while eating or drinking and die tragically on the spot.
Soon Akai Shuichi saw the messy and discarded program list on the floor next to the deceased through the gaps in the crowd.
It seems that the deceased must have had the habit of licking his thumb before turning the page.
The police were originally patrolling security near the Rice Flower Hotel. After learning about the police situation, the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department rushed to the scene in just five minutes.
Seeing the familiar Officer Megure and Officer Sato, Conan was preparing to learn the specific circumstances of the deceased through the police as he had done every time before, and then deduce the real cause of death and the murderer.
However, Officer Megure ignored his question and walked straight towards Kawanishi Sukege, whose expression was already tinged with impatience.
Kawanishi Sukege said something in a low voice, and Officer Megure immediately saluted solemnly, and then sent someone to carefully restrain the deceased and move him out of the reception hall.
"Wait!" Conan couldn't help but followed him out, opening his arms to stop the police, "Why don't you do an on-site investigation? That person was probably killed, wasn't he?"
Sato Miwako glanced at Officer Megure and said with some embarrassment: "Conan, we will continue to investigate. But today's situation is very special, and we cannot affect the normal holding of the press conference."
"It's just a press conference. Can't it be rescheduled at will?"
"No." Sato Miwako blocked Conan aside so that her colleagues could evacuate smoothly. "TENSE Group and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government have signed many large orders. Mr. Kawanishi should be planning to announce them at today's press conference. . If the date is rescheduled, there may be accidents along the way."
Hearing this, Conan also understood the importance of this matter, but...
Suddenly, Conan's peripheral vision caught sight of a familiar figure. His expression suddenly changed, and he quickly turned around and ran back to the venue, not even paying attention to Sato Miwako.
That person just now was Qin Bar? It must be gin! !
But before he could see clearly, the black figure disappeared into the stairwell.
Second floor? Gin in the stands?
It was difficult to see clearly the situation in the box on the second floor from the position in the lobby. If he wanted to confirm the identity of the person, he had to catch up.
No wonder Mr. Asano appeared at the TENSE representative seat. It seems that the organization has already penetrated into the TENSE group. What do they want to do? Control Tokyo or even Japan's economy?
"Hey, where is Conan?" Mao Lilan couldn't find Conan in the blink of an eye.
"That kid must be running around again." Mouri Kogoro said without any surprise, "It's true that Asano jumped to TENSE without saying a word and left the child to me to take care of. It's too much!"
Mao Lilan glared at her father: "Conan's parents are not in the country, and Uncle Kudo and Aunt Yukiko are missing. We should have paid more attention to him."
"Should it be?" Mouri Kogoro felt that his daughter had some mental problems. When did Conan really become a part of their family?
After the police withdrew, the host stood in front of the stage again: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry that there was a small situation at the venue just now, but the matter has been resolved and our press conference will be held as usual. Next, I would like to invite the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Governor Mr. Sukege Kawanishi read out the win-win cooperation agreement.”
This so-called win-win cooperation agreement sounds lofty, but it actually means nothing. The policy support promised by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has little effect on the organization. What the organization really wants is a platform to carry out plans in an honest manner. And what Sichuan Nishi needs is not political achievements, but immediate benefits such as real money and silver.
The two parties hit it off immediately, and a win-win cooperation agreement was formed.
While Kawanishi Sukege read out the contents of the agreement and made plans for the future, Nobushige finished the drink in his glass.
Beside him, Yamada Rokuha suddenly poked him.
Nobushige asked with his eyes.
"Have you seen that man's miserable condition? How dare you drink the drinks at the venue?"
"I haven't offended anyone," Nobuhiro's eyes lingered on Yamada Rokuha for a moment, "Or are you planning to poison me?"
Yamada Rokuye laughed: "What's the benefit of poisoning you? Now the two of us can be regarded as grasshoppers on the same rope. If one dies, the other will suffer."
"Mrs. Yamada has been looking at you." Nobushige did not directly respond to Yamada Rokuha's words, but said, "If she knows that the daughter she regards as a treasure is being taken care of by you..."
"Mezcal!" Yamada Rokuha shouted in a low voice.
Nobushige chuckled: "The organization must have used some tricks on Mrs. Yamada in order to ensure that your disguise was flawless? Otherwise, she should have easily found out that you are not Rokuha Yamada."
As he was talking, he suddenly felt that strange feeling just now came back.
Nobuhiro immediately fell silent. He followed the complicated gaze and met a pair of reddish-brown eyes.
White Horse Detective?
No, the White Horse Detective wouldn't look at him like this, he should be...
Zero?
Eyes facing each other, Nobufan watched those beautiful eyes cover up all their emotions very quickly, leaving only indifference and calmness.
Nobuhiro suddenly lost his mood of mocking each other with Rokuha Yamada. He stood up and planned to go out to get some fresh air in the cold wind.
"Knock knock knock"
Rum flexed his knuckles and rapped twice on Nobushige's armrest, which was a very strong warning.
Nobushige had no choice but to suppress the irritability in his heart and continue to listen to Kawanishi Sukecheng's nonsense.
He was forcing himself to avoid a certain direction the whole time, but his body could clearly feel Jiang Guling's gaze.
How could we forget? Such a high-profile move by the organization will inevitably attract the attention of the police.
Is his current image in Zero's eyes a mess?
It must be disappointing, right?
They promised to become close friends of the police and uphold justice, but one of them easily broke his promise.
Ten minutes later, Kawanishi Sukinari finally ended his tirade. He spoke enthusiastically about what he knew well about the situation, as if he was truly confident in the future development of Tokyo. At the end, Kawanishi Sukege also used the opportunity of global broadcast to canvass votes for his election in the second half of the year.
"Thank you Mr. Kawanishi for introducing us to the win-win cooperation agreement." The host smiled, "I think many friends, like me, are very curious about who the newly appointed president of the Asia-Pacific region of TENSE Group is. Please introduce it to us!"
Listening to the host's enthusiastic voice, Nobuhiro took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the throbbing in his heart and make his expression appear normal.
Rum took the microphone, patted Nobushige's shoulder and said: "This is our new Asia Pacific President Nobushige Asano. Everyone should be familiar with him. I just watched the interview show introducing Lufeng Music Classroom not long ago. ."
"Hahaha, so Mr. Asano gave up on starting his own business and chose to join TENSE to pursue his ambitions?"
Probably in order to respond to what Rum said about the talk show, the host simply skipped the reporter's question session and asked several questions himself.
Nobuhiro answered in a serious manner one by one according to the character image that Rum had set for him.
Rei Fukiya did not look away from Asano Nobushige. At this moment, Nobushige was the focus of everyone's attention, and he probably didn't care about Hakuba Tan's gaze at all.
He spoke so simply and heartlessly, as if he was ready to burn the boat. But when it comes time to make a choice, neither Jiangu Ling nor Zhu Fu Jingguang would find it difficult to take that step.
How can a few words destroy a friendship that can be trusted with peace of mind for nineteen years?
"Hiss..." Hattori Heiji took a breath of air, "Good guy, Asano is doing very well now, and he has become a senior executive of a Fortune 500 company!"
Thinking back to the time when he had always regarded Asano Nobuhige as Kudo Shinichi, it was really unbearable to look back.
Mouri Kogoro rubbed his eyebrows and asked: "What is the last name of the chairman of TENSE?"
"I don't know. He is very mysterious. The only information he has revealed to the outside world is that he is Japanese-American."
"Could it be that the Suzuki girl's previous guess was true?" Mouri Kogoro muttered.
Hattori Heiji immediately became interested: "What guess?"
"Uh..." Mao Lilan replied with some embarrassment, "Sonoko guessed that Mr. Asano was born in a certain big family. He started his own business without settling matters with his family. Now he is taken back by his parents to inherit the family property."
After hearing this, Hattori Heiji clapped his hands and said: "Yes, this guess is very reasonable, otherwise it cannot be explained why TENSE's board of directors appointed a new person with no experience in the Asia-Pacific region to take charge of the affairs of the entire Asia-Pacific region. Looking at today's posture, you know that TENSE attaches great importance to Japan market."
"You'd better stop making blind guesses." Conan suddenly appeared behind Hattori Heiji.
Hattori Heiji's smile froze on his face.
"Conan, where did you go just now?" Mao Lilan asked.
Conan didn't look good. He just tried to go to the second floor to find gin, but he was asked to leave by the waiter before he could climb the stairs. The only thing he was sure of was that those waiters were not ordinary. He even touched their guns during close contact.
"Sister Xiaolan, it's too stuffy in here, let's go back." Conan suggested to Mao Lilan.
Mao Lilan was slightly startled: "Are you leaving now? But the press conference is not over yet..."
"Yes, yes, I heard that there will be a big dinner at the dinner after the press conference. It would be a shame to leave without finishing!" Mouri Kogoro agreed.
Of course Conan didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, but he didn't want to risk Mao Lilan even more. The best way is to trick Xiaolan into going home and then find a way to sneak into the venue.
Just as he was about to say something, Hattori Heiji grabbed him into an unattended corner.
"What did you do just now?" Hattori Heiji asked.
Conan's expression was very serious: "I saw members of that organization."
"Is this the organization that turned you into what you are now?"
"Yes. And you may have noticed that the waiters at the Rice Krispies Restaurant today are not ordinary. Some even have guns."
"What do they want to do?"
Conan shook his head: "I don't know, but I want to send Xiaolan and the others out first."
In the past, he rarely worried so much, but today's TENSE press conference gave him the illusion that he had strayed into the organization's lair. If he stays and is found out again after doing something detrimental to the organization, Xiaolan and Uncle Maoli will definitely be implicated by him.
"It seems that Mr. Asano is very optimistic about TENSE's future development in Japan. I heard that you have another piece of good news to bring you today. What is it?"
The host is still interviewing Mr. Asano, so this time should be fully utilized. If Xiaolan doesn't want to leave, it might be more appropriate to find an excuse to send her away.
"I think this good news should be announced by the elders." Xinfan looked at Rum with a smile. He seemed to be in a good mood, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Haha, Asano, don't be embarrassed." Rum said loudly facing the media cameras, "In addition to the win-win cooperation agreement between TENSE and Tokyo today, I have another good news to tell you. Asano, President of our TENSE Group Asia Pacific Region Mr. Nobushige will be engaged to Miss Rokuha Yamada of Yamada Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Oh, it's just an engagement, as long as it's not an organization...
etc! Mr. Asano is getting married? !
Conan looked at Asano Nobushige in front of him in shock, smiling at the camera, feeling more and more that something was wrong today.
Did Mr. Asano go undercover to cover up his life-long event?
This criminal organization is so good that even if you reach the top, you still have to assign targets?
Conan was thinking wildly and felt that his brain was extremely confused and he could not calm down in a short time.
There were many people who had the same disbelief as him, and the first one to bear the brunt was Jiang Gu Ling, who didn't understand the situation better than he did.
Jing Guang is getting married?
For something that they had teased many years ago to suddenly come true in this form, Fangtani Rei felt it was absurd.
Nobushige and Rokuha Yamada, no, it should be Epcot, do they have any feelings?
He is not someone like Shuichi Akai, who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even deceiving the feelings of innocent people.
Jing Guang doesn’t even have the freedom to choose whether to get married or who to marry?
The host smiled and asked: "Is the engagement between Mr. Asano and Ms. Yamada a marriage?"
This time it was Yamada Rokuha who answered: "I don't deny that this factor exists. After all, our marriage will be very helpful for TENSE to enter the Japanese pharmaceutical field and for Yamada Pharmaceutical to go global. But at the same time, I want to clarify that I and Nobushige-kun came together because of love. If there was no love, my mother would not agree to this marriage."
There were many people booing below.
Yamada Rokuye smiled shyly, with two blushes even appearing on his cheeks.
Nobuhiro glanced at her lightly and mocked in a low voice: "Oscar owes you a trophy."
"How do you know I'm not telling the truth?" Epcott stared at the flashing lights and excited smile below. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and disappointment, as if she was looking for someone she would never see. .
A sneer appeared on the corner of Xinfan's mouth, but he quickly covered it up by rubbing his eyebrows.
"Hamano Ri is dead too, you killed him with your own hands." He reminded.
Epcott's eyes narrowed and he whispered: "You don't need to remind me."
What's wrong with dying? If you die, you don't have to see her so unrecognizable, and if you die, you don't have to be plotted by the organization.
Look no further than mezcal, which has proven that death is not the most painful thing.
