Chapter 717 A Desperate Face Blindness

“One, two——”

Mouri Kogoro closed his eyes and stretched out the moves he had prepared in his hand without caring about anything. After a while, he dared to open his eyes to check the result of the finger-guessing game.

“Win, win?” He looked at his hands, then raised his head and looked at Kitagawa Yusuke standing opposite him, a little unbelievable.

Just now, Kitagawa Yusuke, who had been fighting with the bearded and indifferent Iwai Munehisa for almost ten minutes like a ninja, lost to him so easily?

“Congratulations.” Having achieved his goal, Karasawa nodded to him calmly, turned around without nostalgia, and stood next to Akai Shuichi.

His main purpose in participating in the finger-guessing game was to get the luxury watch of Kisaragi Minemizu and the gold coins of Tokiwa Mio. Karasawa was not very interested in sports cars.

The Phantom Thieves had no shortage of cars, not to mention this victim that was about to be buried in the explosion. There was nothing wrong with making Maori Kogoro happy.

"Congratulations, Senior Maori." Seeing that the situation of constantly turning left and right was finally over, Mio Tokiwa clapped her hands vigorously with a sense of relief, "The final winner is the famous detective Maori Kogoro. Let him say a few words..."

"Ah, now we don't have to rent a car anymore. However, parking will become a new worry again."

"Hahaha..."

Mio Tokiwa and the guests laughed very enthusiastically, and the people standing behind them also clapped politely.

Tangze and Shuichi Akai looked at each other and talked in a low voice.

"Your identity is not solid, Tangze. Don't you plan to use it as a fake identity for a long time?" Shuichi Akai, who was still holding a lollipop stick, squeezed out a sentence from the corner of his mouth.

Not surprised that he could find out his identity, Tang Ze replied softly: "Am I not busy enough? Why spend so much energy on an identity that is needed temporarily. Are you secretly watching 2-chome again?"

Dr. Agasa's house where Huihara Ai lives, Kudo's house that became vacant with the appearance of Edogawa Conan, and Amemiya's house where a bunch of thieves with shocking identities live...

2-chome is almost a battleground for intelligence organizations. Whether as the leader of the FBI team or as their relatives, it is not surprising that Akai Shuichi, who temporarily has no Vermouth as an obstacle, pays attention to this street while Judy is not in Japan.

Under normal circumstances, members of the Phantom Thieves do not go through the front door or simply do not go through the real world to enter and exit the base. Only a few people like Edogawa Conan have the privilege to knock on the door, so that Muggles like Vermouth probably still think that No. 22 is basically vacant.

It was normal for Kitagawa Yusuke to appear in the vicinity and attract the attention of Akai Shuichi. Tang Ze did not hide it. Last time, he went to the streets to perform and paint because of the attack, which was indeed a bit high-profile.

Knowing that Tang Ze would not stay at home quietly, Akai Shuichi could not help but shake his head slightly when he heard the familiar voice.

He was not sure whether Kitagawa Yusuke was another layer of Tang Ze's skin until he saw that this guy's movements tonight overlapped with Amuro Toru inexplicably many times.

Bourbon now has few people he can trust when he is on the move, and Tang Ze himself happened to be absent from the banquet tonight. He thought about it and boldly opened his mouth to test it just now, and the result was as expected.

"It's not that I want to keep an eye on it. You all stay there, and the organization is inexplicably active in the vicinity, so I have to pay attention."

"Don't worry, I did it on purpose. Give me another week, and I guarantee that no one in the organization will go there to test it again. It must be safe." Tang Ze smiled confidently.

The Phantom Thieves' base with Noah's Ark is not something that anyone can break through. If they really want to attack, no matter how many people come, they will all die if they fall into their hands.

Akai Shuichi raised his eyebrows, without questioning Tang Ze's confidence. He changed the subject and looked towards the elevator as if chatting casually: "If that guy falls into Bourbon's hands, does he still have hope of survival?"

"Probably not. Gin's gun is certainly not vegetarian." Tang Ze glanced in the direction of Building B and teased, "Although the manpower that can be mobilized is very limited, you pay attention to the organization's movements in a timely manner, Brother Shuichi."

Tang Ze sent off Maori Kogoro and his group tonight, and hurriedly walked through the cognitive world to the Kisaragi Minemizu family, and came to the building with him. He originally had no energy to pay extra attention to the movements of the Tarots, but considering that Vermouth had returned, he opened his third eye to scan the venue for safety.

At this glance, he saw the dazzling Emperor card.

It's a pity that Ireland has withdrawn, otherwise the whiskey group of the organization might have an epic competition on the same stage in the Twin Towers. Really, the organization didn't have so many people even at the annual meeting.

Judy went back to the United States, and Camel seemed to be busy with other things. Akai Shuichi was almost acting alone. Without Tang Ze's advance communication, he was still able to keep a close eye on Gin's heels. Your scientific enemy knows radar.

"I wish my sense of smell was really that sharp." Squinting his eyes, Akai Shuichi straightened his mouth, "But I came here to track other things."

Mio Tokiwa, who was a little out of control, added many irrelevant people to the banquet, which greatly reduced the difficulty for him to get in, so he came to the dinner without hesitation, ready to investigate closely and confirm the situation.

"Other things?" Tang Ze, who noticed a hint from Yuan Jiaming, raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah. It's the news from Interpol." Akai Shuichi lowered his eyelids, a trace of haze passed through his eyes, "A major project they participated in the arrangement, but some of the technical development of the cooperation was suspected to have been leaked. I tracked the signal and found this place..."

But I found the traces of Gin and Amuro Toru who arrived one after another.

The project has not been successfully launched, but it has been eroded by the inner ghost... This is the current situation after the tentacles of the organization have stretched out from the shadows and entangled the world.

"It is the right decision to destroy this place. It has been corroded and rotten, so it's better to start over."

————

"Who is next?"

The panting Zhu Fu Jingguang wiped the sweat off his face. Not only was there no sign of fatigue on his face, but his cat-like eyes even flashed with excitement in the dim sky.

The night wind from the high altitude kept blowing and hitting his cheeks, but it did not make the heat on his face subside at all.

This feeling of fighting on the front line is constantly awakening his memory, and the feeling of winning the initiative with the gun in his hand makes his state incomparably good.

Three years of experience in the organization did not shake his nature, but after such a baptism, he was no longer the inexperienced and timid recruit who had just graduated.

"The next one will be handled by Noah." Miyano Akemi stepped on the smooth glass curtain wall of the rooftop in an unscientific way. The dangerous high heels on her feet seemed to be sucked on a flat surface that could not stand at all.

Standing hundreds of meters high in the air, the whole bright and clean building was brightly lit, like a beacon in the dark, so they were naturally less conspicuous in the darkness.

Her skirt fluttered, and the golden eyes under the mask also flashed the sharp edge of a cat.

"Tang Ze has made plans. You should know our real goal, Mr. Morubushi."

"...Ah, of course I understand." Holding the gun in his hand, Morubushi Kagemitsu pulled down his hood, "I really hope to see that guy panic."

"Isn't that easy?" The color of the clothes was very conspicuous, so Hoshikawa Teru, who had been hiding in the shadows, sneered, "Just take off your hat and let them see your face."

If Morubushi Kagemitsu's resurrection was a miracle for Furuya Rei, it was undoubtedly a ghost story for the organization.

"It's hard to say." After hearing Tang Ze's retelling of Gin's speechless question about who Kudo Shinichi was, Asai Narimi said seriously, "Maybe that face-blind sniper has forgotten what you look like. Didn't he say that he doesn't remember dead people?"

Even if Morifushi Keimitsu once got a code name, even if Morifushi Keimitsu even worked in Gin's action team, but who knows, what if Gin really follows the character setting and is a bionic man who regularly formats and discards data by himself, then isn't this flirting with a blind man?

"...That's really a problem." Hoshikawa Teru, who was inexplicably persuaded, fell into deep thought.

————

"That, big brother..." Vodka glanced at the mailbox and reminded in a low voice, "Bourbon sent the target's room number."

"Don't make noise." Gin moved his eyes away from the scope and tutted irritably.

There were quite a lot of people in the meeting room. He watched for almost an hour but didn't find any target like Shirley. Now he was urged to work by his colleagues, so he was naturally in a very unhappy mood.

"Well, since that woman is now mixed with the people of the Phantom Thieves of Heart, I remember that the white-haired boy can also disguise himself..." Vodka didn't dare to say it too bluntly, so he could only persuade him tactfully, "She will definitely not be stupid enough to run in without any disguise."

Gin adjusted the direction of the gun and adjusted his breathing, ignoring Vodka's vague advice to give up.

He will find the timid little mouse.

When the machine room explodes, these guys will be like being trapped in a black box at high altitude, and have to escape little by little through the only passage. At that time, he will have many opportunities to find her.

He came here to be a hunter, and he would never let himself return empty-handed.

Gin hooked the corner of his mouth cruelly, put his eyes on the scope again, and pulled the trigger at the position marked by Bourbon.

Without caring about the result, he fired a shot and once again turned his sight back to the banquet hall where people were drinking and chatting.

"Next."

————

"Next, I would like to introduce to you the works of Mr. Mine Water Kisaragi, the most important guest of the night and a national treasure-level painter!"

The lights in the banquet hall dimmed, and the huge LCD screen was controlled to slide down from a high place, just in front of the huge glass window.

The screen lit up, and Mine Water Kisaragi's works appeared on the screen, just covering the vague outline of Mount Fuji at night.

This was naturally another show of skill by Tokiwa Mio, and the guests in the venue whispered in amazement.

"As we all know, Mr. Kisaragi Minemizu loves Mount Fuji very much. He has spent more than 30 years depicting the majestic appearance of Mount Fuji. Once, in order to celebrate the completion of the twin-tower skyscraper of his student, Ms. Tokiwa Mio, he sent his latest masterpiece. In addition, Ms. Tokiwa's fellow student, Mr. Kitagawa Yusuke, who has become famous recently, also came with his teacher to present a gift for this pearl tower in Nishitama City..."

The host's ups and downs voice echoed in the venue along with the loudspeaker, and Conan, who was holding his arms, curled his lips.

"Send it, it's a nice thing to say."

The relationship between Kisaragi Minemizu and Tokiwa Mio is not that of a sworn enemy, but it is tense. For such an eyesore building to be completed, let alone celebrated, Kisaragi Minemizu did not find a media outlet to criticize this unworthy disciple, which is a sign of his patience.

Conan even secretly guessed that if it were not for the fact that he wanted to promote his own disciple, Kisaragi Minemizu might not have come at all and just ignored it.

"You can't say that you bought it from your teacher at a price lower than the market price, right?" Ai Huihara shrugged with her hands behind her back, "If she said that, can Mr. Kisaragi expose her?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was well rendered, the emcee waved his hand at the curtain behind him and said loudly: "Next, please enjoy, "Fuji Spring Snow" and "In the Night"!"

The curtain behind him slid to both sides with the sound effects gradually rising.

The spotlights on the stage gradually lit up, illuminating the entire stage with a transparent and bright light.

Two fixed paintings slowly fell from the stage.

One was a painting of Mount Fuji surrounded by clouds and mist, composed of grass green and bright yellow, full of spring, and the other was an abstract building in the starry sky and night, like a high tower and a door to the other side.

Taking a deep breath, Tokiwa Mio smiled, not planning to look back at the two annoying things.

It was obvious that both paintings were completed from the studio of Kisaragi Minemizu in the direction of Mount Fuji, but at different times.

I don’t know if the person who placed it did it on purpose, or if the master and apprentice had intended to do so. The two wide and flat scrolls above and below were forced to draw a taste of a control group. Considering Kisaragi Minemizu’s temper and attitude, it’s better to say that it’s a gift than a spoiler.

But Tokiwa Mio could only keep smiling, accept this ironic and weird tone, and thank him sincerely.

She took the microphone from the emcee: "Thank you, my mentor, and my excellent fellow students..."

Just as she started, a panicked shout suddenly rang out in the dim venue.

"Chairman Tokiwa, it's bad! Um, something happened to Councillor Oki!"

Tokiwa Mio was startled at first, and then frowned suddenly.

Who is this, shouting rashly here? ! Didn't she order that even if something big happened, even if someone died or there was a fire, she should be told first!

Shouting so loudly in the venue——!

"What, what?"

"Ah, the police are here——"

"What happened, Councillor Oki was not saved?!"

The venue was noisy, and the sound even overwhelmed the sound of the sound produced by the tight friction of Tokiwa Mio.

"Everyone, everyone, please calm down first..."

Tokiwa Mio tried to control the situation a little bit, and at this moment, several other screams of varying heights came from the chaotic crowd.

"What's wrong with you, husband!"

"Hey, Mr. Tanaka, why are you suddenly...? Don't, don't come close!"

"Who, who suddenly stepped on my skirt - Hey, why are you kneeling down..."

The dark venue seemed to be completely awakened by the scream at the beginning. Amid the crowd, chaotic voices came from all directions. Realizing that the situation was out of control, Tokiwa Mio was once again captured by fear and her knees trembled.

Here they come, the group of despicable thieves who used the huge symbol displayed to the whole of Tokyo to openly force themselves into a dead end, they are finally here!

Kisaragi Minemi paused the cane in his hand and squinted at Kitagawa Yusuke standing beside him.

Karasawa took the teacher's unfriendly gaze without changing his expression, and shrugged innocently in return.

Don't you all know that this broken building will not survive tonight? These two paintings were used to fool Tokiwa Mio anyway. It was obvious that she would not be able to leave the building alive. Even if the introduction session was interrupted, it didn't matter...

He stood on the stage, his mouth did not move, and his eyes were looking straight ahead. Tokiwa Mio's rapid breathing disappeared from the speaker, and was replaced by a voice that many people in the venue were familiar with.

"Good evening, guests, audience." The young man's voice, which was neither hurried nor slow, with some gorgeous accents, instantly covered the noisy movement in the venue. "Thank you all for coming as scheduled. Tonight is really an unforgettable night. I am glad that you are willing to come and join us in this great event."

Accompanied by this arrogant voice, the device that fixed the two scrolls on the stage suddenly loosened its clamp, and the two framed paintings fell to the ground.

Amid the crisp cracking sound, the bright red Phantom Thieves' logo was exposed on the curtain that was hung behind the mechanism and used as a back cloth.

"Joker..." Conan pursed his lips. He was not surprised by this guy's show-off. He even thought about how long he had been communicating with Kaito Kid, how much he had learned, and why he liked to play magic more and more.

The painting was shown as the main attraction in the center of the stage. This position that attracted everyone's attention was the right place to show off.

The voice of Joker continued in the speakers.

"To the Twin Towers, and all those who have interests related to it and share the same interests with it——"
