Chapter 706 Tang Ze: Are You There? Vermouth, Send Me Money!
Although the behavior of Kisaragi Minesui and Kitagawa Yusuke was really disrespectful to Tokiwa Mio, after a brief adjustment to her mood, Tokiwa Mio still had a clear look on her face and quickly chased after the two in the direction they left.
Whether the other party accepts her farewell or not is one thing. If she really freezes there and lets the teacher leave alone, the other people present will not say anything on the surface. Then rumors of her disrespecting the teacher and making the teacher very angry will be spread all over the sky. That's all.
"Is the relationship between master and apprentice not so good now?" When Tokiwa Mio walked away, Mouri Kogoro looked around and had to choose Kazama Hidehiko, who had the friendliest attitude, to inquire.
It was twenty years ago when he went to college. He hadn't seen her in twenty years, and she was a junior girl who didn't know where she was at that time. Mouri Kogoro was not sure about her current behavior.
"It seems that I have been quite nervous in the past two years." Hidehiko Kazama looked at the back of his employer who was chasing after him in a hurry. He was not surprised. "Miss Tokiwa has been deeply involved in the art industry in recent years. There are many stories about her buying Mr. Kisaragi's works. , and then the news of the high price. Mr. Kisaragi should be very concerned about this matter."
Coupled with the completion of the building, Kisaragi Hosui's mansion completely lost its good view of Mount Fuji. It was normal for the relationship between the two of them to fall to a freezing point.
However, the sudden appearance of Kitagawa Yusuke seems to have changed Kisaragi Hosui's mentality to some extent. This old man who is carefree and devoted to art may have some connections...
Kazama Hidehiko felt the complicated relationship, and he couldn't help but Mouri Kogoro was about to ask further questions to evaluate the thoughts of his school girl whom he hadn't seen for many years. Tokiwa Mio, who was ignored by the teacher, had already walked back to them. .
"Sorry, the teacher has not been in a good mood recently..." Mio Tokiwa, who had recovered his emotions, looked as normal and showed a soft smile, "Do you want to go to Building B to visit together later? It's just in time to inspect the ceiling of Building B. Then The rooftop swimming pool next to it has been specially designed and will be very spectacular when the time comes. ”
"Yes, the dome on the roof of Building B can be opened." Hidehiko Kazama gestured toward the window where he could see the roof of the other building. "For Building B, there is a luxury hotel above and specialized shops below. When the building is officially After the opening and investment promotion, it should be very lively.”
"A luxury hotel with a view of Mount Fuji is quite a selling point. You did a good job, Ms. Tokiwa." The drunk Oki Iwamatsu said, "Can you give me a suite? I want to experience it in advance."
Tokiwa Mio was stunned, realizing what Oki Iwasatsu was thinking, and tried to refuse: "But the hotel over there hasn't officially opened yet, and the service staff are still..."
"You mean there's nothing you can do?" Omu Yansong put away the smile on his face and raised his chin arrogantly.
Super high-rise skyscrapers cannot be built everywhere. Even if they are built, there are strict reviews on height restrictions, project safety audits, construction party bidding, etc. Under normal circumstances, if the procedures can be completed in two or three years, it is considered extremely efficient. High.
The ability to build this skyscraper with an excellent location so quickly was indispensable to Oki Iwamatsu's policy activities. He was also responsible for lobbying the newly appointed mayor of Nishitama City, and successfully impressed him by saying that he would achieve political achievements during his term of office. , quickly promoted the implementation of the project.
Therefore, even if many of his demands were excessive and his own moral character was very questionable, Tokiwa Mio could only honestly comply.
Sure enough, as soon as his expression changed, Tokiwa Mio immediately surrendered: "I understand, then I will prepare a room for you on the 67th floor."
"That's right. After all, the Twin Towers can be said to be half of my children." Iwamatsu said hypocritically, and then suggestively patted the back of Mio Tokiwa's delicate and proud hand, "Of course, if Miss Tokiwa appreciates it, It would be a perfect day to have dinner with me.”
Mio Tokiwa held back and did not move, keeping a smile as she watched Oki Iwamatsu being taken away by several employees. She breathed a small sigh of relief and looked at Mouri Kogoro again.
She made a special trip to invite her old acquaintance who is now famous. She naturally wanted the reputation of the other detective.
After a while, when we arrive at Building B, we will have a reason to let the employees take other elderly and children around, and I will have a more private opportunity to communicate with Moori Kogoro.
Although Mouri Kogoro has many strange reputations, he also has several regular clients among wealthy people, and their reviews are all good. When he needed a private detective, Tokiwa Mio immediately thought of him.
"Here please, let's go down to the 66th floor first, and then take the communication bridge to the top floor on the other side. By the way, we also put a lot of thought into the communication bridge and made a design similar to a transparent observation deck, saying that it is a viewing platform The boardwalk is no problem.”
"Yes, yes, that, that's good...ah haha..."
Conan, who was following him, coughed to hide the laughter that was about to break out.
A person who is afraid of heights, why on earth would he force himself to visit a super high-rise building? He is really asking for trouble for himself.
While they were talking, the VIP elevator in front of them opened, and two employees holding tablecloths and vases walked out of the elevator.
As they walked, they were still excitedly discussing what they had just seen.
"I didn't expect to see such a rare antique car in Tokyo. Didn't you say there are only a few of them in the whole of Japan?"
"After all, it's the opening ceremony of a company related to the Joban Group. It's normal to entertain a few rich people. But that look is really classic and beautiful!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect to see a real black Porsche 356A..."
"Didn't I tell you that you have to use the freight elevator to transport things?" Tokiwa Mio frowned and scolded, "This is an elevator only for VIPs, employees cannot use it casually!"
"Sorry, sorry!" The two people, who were excited about chatting, turned to look at the angry chairman, and quickly shrank their necks.
The only elevator in Building A that can go directly from the first floor to the venue is the observation elevator. It was really unlucky for me to be lazy and not take a detour but bump into the boss at the top...
They were about to make way for a few people, but Conan, whose attention was attracted by the keyword, quickly turned his head and asked eagerly: "What Porsche?! Where did you see it?"
"Huh? It's just downstairs. The black one is parked outside the hall." Looking down, they saw such a young child asking questions. The two of them raised their eyebrows in surprise, but still answered his question.
Anyone who has paid attention to antique cars will definitely recognize the classic style of this car at a glance. As for the Porsche 356A that has been maintained like this, any enthusiast will want to see it with his own eyes.
It's Gin's car!
Oops, Kitagawa Yusuke just went down, so wouldn’t he have to meet Gin and the others head-on...
Although a long time has passed, Conan still believes in Joker's statement that his proactive approach may be discovered by members of the organization.
That time on the top floor of the hotel, Joker fell straight down the chimney because something Gin took out was suddenly in poor condition. He still vividly remembered the situation. Maybe Kitagawa Yusuke also...
Ignoring the sight of others, Conan rushed into the elevator in two steps.
"Hey, you kid!" Mouri Kogoro wanted to stop Conan who suddenly became angry. However, the brand new elevator responded very quickly. In just ten seconds, the door was closed and the floors began to change.
"Dad, Conan probably wants to find Kitagawa-kun." Before anyone else could get suspicious, Mao Lilan hugged her father's arm, which was about to hit the elevator button, "I didn't take him seriously, don't be angry."
"This guy..." Mouri Kogoro gritted his teeth. Seeing that the fast-moving elevator had descended to more than 60 floors, he had no choice but to put away his anger and turned to apologize to Mio Tokiwa.
"Children who are naughty show that they are healthy and have a lively personality. Sawaguchi, please call the first floor and ask Mr. Hara to come and have a look. Don't let the child get lost." Tokiwa Mio tried to smooth things over, then turned around and dismissed The secretary behind me went to run an errand.
Yuan Jiaming was still staying in the exhibition room on the second floor and had met Conan. This arrangement was undoubtedly the most appropriate.
Conan, who rushed into the elevator, slapped the button on the first floor as soon as he entered the door. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call to Kitagawa Yusuke.
Don't ever encounter Gin. If this is discovered, Kitagawa Yusuke will...
He is different from joker who hides in the villa and actively isolates himself from social life. He still has his own life, studies and a flourishing career as a painter.
He finally gained the recognition of Ruyue Fengshui, and he just accompanied the teacher to deal with the request of his fellow senior sister. He couldn't let the organization ruin his life, never!
I called twice but couldn't get through. Facts have proved that the combination of super high-rise buildings and elevator environments is not a difficulty that current ordinary communication technology can overcome.
The contact was fruitless, so Conan lay on the elevator glass and used the magnifying function of his glasses to try to find everyone's location.
It will stop in front of the building and explain what the people in the car want to do when they get out of the car and enter the building.
If you want to find out Gin's purpose, there will be many opportunities for investigation afterwards. Gin with black clothes and silver hair is eye-catching enough. As the location of a computer software company, there must be enough surveillance cameras.
……Bar?
In short, no matter what Gin does, I hope they finish it quickly and leave. In this case, Kitagawa Yusuke and the two who are not quick in action may not meet them...
Locking on the familiar black car, Conan secretly prayed in his heart that they could leave quickly.
However, things went against expectations. When Conan rushed out of the observation elevator, he saw Kisaragi Minesui and Kitagawa Yusuke standing in front of the door waiting for the car to pick him up, and the Porsche was still parked firmly in place.
Conan tried his best to move his little arms and legs, flopping in the direction of Kitagawa Yusuke, and conjuring up reasons in his mind to persuade them to leave the door temporarily.
As long as Gin and the others finish their work and leave, and the two sides don't bump into each other, it shouldn't be...
"Huh? It's the kid just now." Ruyue Fengshui heard the footsteps, turned his head, saw Conan running towards him, and raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
"Um, I want to find Brother Kitagawa..." Conan stopped in his tracks and quickly made a sound.
"You guys really knew each other before. You kid, I haven't seen you have any friends of the same age. Why do you hang out with such a young student all day long?" Ruyue Fengshui patted his apprentice's arm and spoke as if he was scolding him. But there is no sharpness.
The old painter who has been tough all his life has never been a warm and kind type, but when facing Kitagawa Yusuke, he is more like a strict grandfather who dotes on his grandchildren than a teacher.
He was alone and had no worries. He unexpectedly met a disciple who was satisfied with his talent and respected his teacher enough to be serious enough to study painting. He not only loved the talent, but also pitied the other person's wandering life experience and cherished him. The emotion is beyond words.
"We met by chance." Tang Ze replied calmly, and at the same time moved his position to the side, preparing to block Gin's sight from Conan, who was about to walk out the door.
Of course he saw Gin's car. As Kumail, he would occasionally use it, so he was very familiar with it.
——Speaking of this, he always felt that Vodka was Gin's full-time driver. In actual contact, he found that Gin drove himself as many times as Vodka. So why did Gin bring Vodka with him? In order to increase the prestige of the shady character, did he add the necessary bag-carrying brother?
But then again, how could a shady character let a bag-carrying brother drive...
However, just because he was familiar with Gin's car, Tang Ze was a little surprised to see Conan rushing out and not rushing straight towards Gin's Porsche, but turning to his side.
Actually, Conan's excitement when he saw Gin's car is understandable. The problem is, even if Gin really didn't leave and was caught by him, would a kid of his age go alone to organize a top killer in a football match and capture the enemy with his Kage shooting?
However, I really didn't expect that Conan has really changed this time and is much more cautious.
Where? Vermouth? Thank you for the training fee.
Noticing Kitagawa Yusuke's actions, Conan, who was about to persuade him to leave, froze.
The crisp sound of leather shoes stepping on tiles came from far away and passed behind Kitagawa Yusuke.
There was no need to carefully distinguish the person coming. Just by looking at the black coat exposed in the corner, Conan could realize who was coming.
Fortunately, Kitagawa Yusuke acted quickly, otherwise he, a child who had met Gin before, would bump into him again, and it is hard to say whether he would arouse Gin's vigilance.
"What do you want to see me for?" Tang Ze took the initiative to speak.
If he heard Conan's inner voice, he would probably answer directly, don't be afraid, Gin is face-blind and can't remember a child who passed by.
"Um, I, I want to see you draw...!" Conan quickly thought of a suitable codeword.
Kitagawa Yusuke's ability is more or less related to painting. If he said that, the other party should be able to understand what he is hinting at.
"Painting is a very boring job, kid." Kisaragi Minemizu shook his head, thinking that the child might be envious of his disciple's current state of glory because of the award. He glanced at Kitagawa Yusuke's profile and said, "But if you really want to see it, you can come to my house later. Call your kids to come together."
Kitagawa Yusuke, who has no fixed residence, now uses Kisaragi Minemizu's studio most often. Although this studio is the best location to draw Mount Fuji, he is not prepared to put his disciple's paintings on the same track as himself.
Kisaragi Mine, who has been immersed in painting for many years, only specializes in Mount Fuji. It's not that he can't draw other things. He is a student of the academic school and has very solid skills. He is suitable for Kitagawa Yusuke, who has moved beyond the low-level basic practice and needs some creative concept guidance. Kisaragi Mine also acquiesced to Kitagawa Yusuke's visit.
It's rare that this lonely boy who speaks badly has some friends. Even if they are elementary school students, you have to accept it with a pinch of your nose.
It's quite lively with many children, and the atmosphere is better.
Kisaragi Mine, who loves quietness, persuaded himself like this.
"Okay, okay!" Conan also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of the car door closing and starting behind them.
Well, I managed to cope with it...
"Conan, right? Really, this place is very large, don't run around." Hara Yoshiaki, who received the call, hurried out of the hall and saw Conan talking to Kitagawa Yusuke at a glance, and relaxed, "Let's go, I'll take you to Building B, Detective Maori is looking for you."
"Okay, thank you uncle." Conan did not refuse Hara Yoshiaki, retracted his gaze from Kitagawa Yusuke, and took the initiative to shake his hand.
This time, he cast his inquiring gaze on Hara Yoshiaki.
It is basically impossible for Gin to enter the building with an invitation from Tokiwa Mio, so his range of activities may only be the low-rise office area that serves as the external facade.
Hara Yoshiaki, has been staying in the display area to take care of those instruments, right?

"Please ask me to investigate Councillor Oki?" Maori Kogoro, who sat down in the hotel's executive corridor area and was ready to receive the commission, was still surprised when he heard Tokiwa Mio speak.
It was for the content of the commission and for Tokiwa Mio's still smiling calm expression.
Oki Iwamatsu, looking at his wretched and lustful appearance, you can tell that in order to get the other party's full support and work hard to promote the construction of the building, Tokiwa Mio must have shed a lot of blood.
A guy like Oki Iwamatsu can arrogantly demand privileges in front of others. It is impossible for him to take such a big job without asking for a high price.
However, just after the building was completed, Tokiwa Mio calmly asked the detective to solve the problem of Oki Iwamatsu, which still surprised people secretly.
"Yes, Mori-senpai, I am really distressed." Tokiwa Mio smiled bitterly and changed her sitting position, making herself look more like a weak woman in pain. "I am also very grateful to Councillor Oki for doing his best to operate our group. Without his strength, it would be difficult for us to complete it so quickly. If it is just an ordinary thank-you gift, in return, we should really try our best to provide services to Councillor Oki."
After making it clear that she was not ungrateful, Tokiwa Mio changed the subject and said solemnly: "But I heard recently that Councillor Oki may have used some bad means in the lobbying process, but his reasons were related to our group... I don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, nor do I want to bring too much risk to the group."
Really? I don't believe it.
Maori Kogoro tactically picked up the cup on the table and drank a sip of water to calm down.
Tokiwa Mio was able to make it sound so helpless that she could sit firmly in the position of the head of this subsidiary, not only relying on blood relationship, but also having two brushes...
