Chapter 1342 Never Count on a Drunk Man
"hiss--"
Hondo Yinghai stared at the final figure on the paper in astonishment, and once wondered whether he had made a mistake.
"This...how come there are nearly a ton of explosives that have not been used?" The colleague next to him proved the correctness of Hontang Yinghai's calculations, "Have they not been used up in so many previous attacks?"
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Yinghai's mouth: "It seems that the mastermind behind the scenes has been using explosives carefully, so the damage caused is so limited."
"..." The colleague didn't know what to say for a moment.
The United States has been disrupted by successive terrorist attacks, and the casualties have been heavy. However, in the main hall, Yinghaikou, the damage was so limited.
Could it be that these are not the work of the intelligence agencies of various countries, but are the masterminds behind the scenes deliberately letting things slip?
"After the terrorist attacks, cities across the United States have set up strict checkpoints. They cannot transport so many explosives openly." Hondo Ekai asked, "Are there any major events about to happen in Washington recently?"
The colleague thought for a while and replied: "The only big event recently is the press conference held by TENSE Group at the JUKE Hotel tonight."
Our hall Yinghai frowned: "It's TENSE again."
"Do you suspect their ultimate goal is tonight's press conference?"
"It's possible. How long until the press conference starts?"
The colleague looked at the time and looked serious: "The press conference started at eight o'clock, and it is already 7:55 now."
The main hall Yinghai suddenly changed his color: "Quick! Let's go to JUKE now!!"
It's not too late, if it's a second too late, they may never be able to recover.
…
Washington DC·JUKE Hotel
The banquet hall was full of people drinking and drinking, and brightly dressed men and women were dancing on the dance floor.
In the corner, Mouri Kogoro was enjoying his third glass of wine.
"Is there still no news from the president?" The air filled with fragrance and the aroma of wine spread this sentence to Mouri Kogoro's ears.
Um? The president they are talking about should be Asano Nobushige, right?
Mouri Kogoro pricked up his ears and began to listen to the corner of the wall openly.
"Isn't it inappropriate for such an important press conference that the president is not present?"
"Don't worry, didn't you see that the chairman and the adults are not here either?"
"That being said, I didn't see that lady either. By the way, that person is still in Japan, right?"
"He has never liked banquets. I was surprised to see him at the press conference for the appointment of president."
"Except for Ms. Yamada, none of the important dignitaries attended."
"Tsk, tsk, this is the pattern!"
This corner made Kogoro Mouri confused.
What adults? What lady? What that person?
Can't these people talk properly? !
The minuet on the dance floor slowly came to an end, the lights went out, and only a spotlight shone on the podium at the front.
oh oh! The main event is coming!
Although Mouri Kogoro didn't know what plan TENSE was going to announce, he did feel bored at the banquet and happened to listen to what these people had to say.
Conan, on the other hand, walked among the guests at the beginning of the banquet to get information.
The big shots were absent, and the task of reading out the plan fell on Yamada Rokuha.
…
It was dark at night, and Nobuhiro came out of the hospital. He knew without looking at the time that he would not be able to rush back to New York to pick up Mao Lilan before the show ended.
And what Swann just mentioned also made him a little concerned.
Nobushige thought of a person, a person he had met once in Sweden - his surname was also Swann.
"Yes, please help me find the contact information of Officer Tefl Svan of the Stockholm Police Commission." Nobuhiro emphasized, "It is urgently needed."
With his excellent intelligence network, Nobuhiro successfully contacted Officer Swann.
It was still early in the morning in Stockholm, but Officer Swann who received the call did not care about such a trivial matter.
"Mr. Asano? What a surprise. I didn't expect you to call me." Trevor Swann smiled, "You must have encountered something that requires my help."
"How perceptive." Nobuhiro sighed and said truthfully, "I would like to ask you to investigate the orphanages in Sweden and help me find a child who grew up to be a police officer in the United States. He is probably in his early twenties now, and he has a friend who lives with him. The sister who grew up in an orphanage. By the way, coincidentally, he has the same last name as you."
"The last name is the same as mine, and he was born in an orphanage. Mr. Asano, you have asked the right person."
"how?"
Officer Teffler said with a smile: "To be honest, I was also born in an orphanage, and the children in our orphanage will be given the surname of the director - Swann. And I do have a child who meets your conditions. selection."
This... is such an unexpected surprise.
There are so many people with the surname Swan in Sweden, Nobuhiro never thought that these two people were really related.
"Do you have any photos?" Nobuhiro asked.
"After they left the orphanage, someone took away the sister's file not long after, but the brother's photo should still be kept." Trevor readily agreed, "Give me your email address, and I will let the orphanage know it now." Long hair for you.”
"Thank you very much."
After Carignan left the orphanage, she joined the Swedish Security Service. As a local spy intelligence organization, it was a routine operation for the Swedish Security Service to take away her files.
In this way, Nobuhiro became more and more confident in Tefler's words.
The siblings Teffler mentioned were most likely the same pair as the Swann siblings he knew.
A few minutes later, Nobushige received the photo of the younger brother - obviously, even though Ariane had matured a little, he still looked very similar to the man in the photo.
The FBI miscalculated and failed to destroy Ariane's information.
In addition to Ariane's photo, Nobuhiro also got the address of the orphanage. He immediately ordered someone to verify this orphanage and the orphanage where Belmode sent the children.
Perhaps, his speculation will soon be confirmed.
"How about it, have you found Akai Shuichi?"
Rei Fukutani was in Japan at this time and could only understand the situation through phone calls. The more he did this, the more he regretted it. When he learned that Nobushige was taken away by the US Department of Security, he should have gone directly to the United States.
Anyway, looking at the current situation, the organization's purpose of attracting him to the United States is just like those of intelligence agencies. As long as he is careful, there will be no big trouble.
"No, but their young sniper almost died."
"Arian Swann?"
"Yes, and I also discovered some interesting things."
Nobushige was about to share his findings with Fangtani Rei, but he heard him say: "Wait a minute, I also have something important to tell you."
Fangtani Rei's tone was serious, so Nobuhiro put aside his joking mood: "What's the matter?"
"You can rest assured on the Washington side, but our people have found clues in the customs clearance records between Washington and New York. Just in case, I still want to invite you to New York."
Xinfan didn't even say a word of refusal, he directly responded: "Okay."
Even though there are hundreds of kilometers between Washington and New York, he may not be able to arrive in time even if he drives all the way.
But is he traveling between Washington and New York too diligently today?
…
Washington, DC·JUKE Hotel·Banquet Hall
"What?!" Yamada Rokuha's words caused a huge uproar, "Eternal life in the form of artificial intelligence? What about our bodies? Are they all destroyed?"
"Don't you think this is a burden?" Yamada Rokuha asked with a smile, "For the progress of all mankind, appropriate sacrifices are inevitable."
She had known for a long time that once the real Noah's Ark plan came out, it would definitely cause a storm around the world. What is the chaos at today's banquet? Once the organization's plan is launched, the whole world will fall into hell.
Mouri Kogoro was confused. He felt as if he was watching a movie. The ambitious villain announced his grand plan, and the good guys were about to form a rescue team to start a life-and-death struggle with the big villain.
However... if the Noah's Ark plan has really been realized from a technical level, it would not be bad to be able to be with family and friends forever?
-Never expect a drunk man to think rationally.
"Mr. Mori." Yamada Rokuha's eyes fell on Mori Kogoro, "You are a famous detective, known as the Sherlock Holmes of the 21st century. Can you please share your views?"
In addition to Mouri Kogoro, the organization has invited many industry elites and leaders for tonight's press conference. Most of them have accepted the organization's contract and are unconditionally building momentum for the Noah's Ark plan.
It's just that none of these people weigh as much as Mouri Kogoro alone. In this era when detective is king, detective is almost synonymous with reason, and the words of a famous detective are more convincing.
Mouri Kogoro was invited to the stage in a daze.
Yamada Rokuha secretly gave him a speech and said in his ear: "After reading this speech, tonight's appearance fee will be doubled."
"Really?!" Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up.
"Really." Yamada Liuye nodded with a smile.
But she really overestimated the verbal expression ability of a drunken uncle. A speech that had a script was made all over by Moori Kogoro.
Mouri Kogoro burped and began to conclude: "In short, I think the Noah's Ark project of TENSE Group can really benefit mankind. Just like what is written in the Bible, mankind in the flood needs …Hiccup…Noah’s Ark.”
A satisfied smile gradually appeared on Yamada Rokuha's lips.
"I don't agree!" Suddenly, a childish voice echoed throughout the audience.
Conan held up the microphone and stood under the spotlight and loudly said: "Life has meaning precisely because of death. If it is true as they say, it is still unknown whether human beings will continue to progress, or simply indulge in enjoyment and live perfunctorily. Isn’t it?”
"Security! Security!!"
Before the security guards swarmed in, Conan had already climbed onto the podium along Mouri Kogoro's trousers: "What's more, Noah's Ark is limited, and they have to deprive many innocent people of their lives. Everyone is equal, why do they call themselves God?"
"Really, come down quickly!" Mouri Kogoro grabbed Conan's arm angrily.
"Uncle, are you going to let Sister Xiaolan and Aunt Feiyingli turn into cold and false data?!" Conan leaned on Mouri Kogoro's shoulder and shouted loudly.
The names of his wife and daughter instantly made Mouri Kogoro sober up. He shook his head and shook away the last trace of chaos caused by alcohol.
"Really, what are you talking about, little brat? Yingli and Xiaolan are both flesh and blood, how can they become data!"
It can be said that the scene has reached an extreme level of chaos. Even the armed security team cannot "violate law enforcement" without permission and can only sit back and watch as the situation becomes increasingly uncontrollable.
In such a chaotic situation, the door of the banquet hall was suddenly kicked open.
The loud noise attracted the attention of everyone in the banquet hall, and the noisy movement slowed down slightly.
The thin figure of Hondo Yinghai appeared at the door. She looked at everyone and said word by word: "The next target of the terrorist attack is very likely to be this hotel. The enemy also has at least one ton of explosives, which is enough to kill all of us." We will be buried here. Now is not the time to argue, we should evacuate as soon as possible and remove the bombs!"
Some guests questioned: "Who are you? Why do you say there is a bomb here?"
Hondo Yinghai directly took out his ID: "I am CIA agent Hondo Yinghai. Please cooperate with us in evacuation."
Everyone in the banquet hall immediately began to flee in panic. Fortunately, the CIA was outside now. With them controlling the situation, the situation was not too bad.
However, the people attending the banquet tonight are not only civilians, but also many intelligence experts from all over the world, and they are not so cooperative.
"Since there is a bomb in this hotel, we should stay and help you find the bomb." A Frenchman said.
"Yes, I am a bomb disposal expert, I can help you." A British man said.
"That's right, how can you run away in a mess like this!" said a Japanese.
Okay, you can stay if you want, these guys are asking for it anyway.
etc……
Our hall Yinghai looked at an uncle who was mixed in and the pendant on his shoulder: "Mr. Mori, Conan, you should evacuate as soon as possible. It is really dangerous here."
"Huh?" Mouri Kogoro squinted his eyes and looked at Hondo Ekai, "Miss, have we met somewhere before?"
The corner of Yinghai's mouth twitched slightly: "Mr. Maori, please leave here with my colleagues."
"Ah, I remembered! Aren't you the beautiful anchor Reina Mizuno from Nippon TV? I heard that you resigned, how could you suddenly become the CIA?"
Hondo Ekai pushed away Kogoro Mouri who was trying to get close to her, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Hurry up, please get Mr. Mouri out."
"Wait!" At the critical moment, Conan jumped down in time, "Sister, do you have the construction drawings of this building? Can you show it to me?"
Our hall Yinghai frowned: "What do you want to do?"
"Since the other party has nearly a ton of explosives, their purpose may be to completely destroy the building. I may be able to find a suitable place to install the bomb from the construction drawings."
"This little brother has a point."
Everyone was professional and could accurately judge the situation, so they all agreed with Conan's statement.
