Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 1002 1002 [The Legacy of Emperor Mori Valley]

  Haihara Ai grabbed the hem of Jiang Xia's clothes, looked at the retreating bear children, and breathed a sigh of relief:

  Although she doesn't know whether the "time machine" is true or not, she is not at all curious about her "ten years later" - because she has seen it many times.

   On the contrary, if the machine showed the appearance of "Shirley", things would undoubtedly become very troublesome. Who knows if the data left in the machine will be seen by the organization one day unlucky.

   Haibara Ai, who has been in the organization since childhood, knows very well that those demons who are dormant in the dark must not be underestimated. Their tentacles are often probed for much longer than many people think, and they always appear unexpectedly.

  …

   In the exhibition hall on the 2nd floor, a group of people are having a good time.

   At this moment, secretary Sawada Chinami's cell phone suddenly vibrated.

   She walked to the side and answered the phone.

   Then greeted several guests with a smile: "Please follow me to the banquet hall on the 75th floor - the chairman is waiting for everyone there."

   From the second floor to the 75th floor, the span is huge, and they no longer take the escalator inside the building.

   Instead, under the guidance of Sawada Chinami, he found the sightseeing elevator.

  This kind of elevator is installed on the outside of the building. Except for the elevator door, the other three sides are all transparent materials, which is very convenient for viewing the scenery.

"It's so beautiful." Mao Lilan happily walked to the window and looked out against the transparent curtain wall. As the elevator ascended and quickly retreated to the ground below, it gave people a feeling of flying, "This elevator can keep running all the time. To the 75th floor?"

   "Yes." Sawada Chinami nodded, "This is a Vip elevator, you can choose the floor you want to go to. However, if you want to take it from the outside, you can enter from the concert hall on the 66th floor."

   Jiang Xia looked at the other side while listening.

  —The elevator faces a building nearly 100 meters away. Compared to this elevator, there is a good sniping point.

   As he was thinking, next to him, Ayumi looked at the more and more magnificent scenery, and couldn't help but stare at her eyes: "It's so beautiful, it's like stepping towards heaven step by step!"

   Jiang Xia: "..." This is probably a little prophet.

  …

   Not too long ago, the elevator went up to the 75th floor.

  The door slid silently to both sides, and the vast banquet hall appeared in front of everyone.

  The decor is exquisite, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows make the room very bright. However, because the Tokiwa Foundation is preparing for the opening ceremony of the building, the hall is currently a little chaotic. There are decorative materials piled up on the ground, and some staff are walking back and forth, discussing the plan in a low voice.

   In front of the most conspicuous stage, several celebrities were standing there chatting. At a glance, there are talents from all walks of life. Chairman Tokiwa is also among them.

  Sawada Chinami walked over with the guests.

   Before a group of people approached, the characters who were talking had already noticed their movements.

   Tokiwa Mio glanced over here and walked over with a smile: "Mori-senpai, long time no see."

"Haha, long time no see." Mauri Kogoro glanced at the group of people behind him who were rubbing against the building, a little embarrassed, and he added in a low voice, "I originally wanted to come here by myself, but there are too many children in the house, I want to follow... that, this is my daughter, these two are her classmates, these are..."

  He bit the bullet and introduced the past one by one.

   Tokiwa Mio kept an elegant smile on her face no matter what she was thinking.

   After Kogoro Mori finished speaking, the shrewd chairman covered his lips and smiled, and also introduced a few people around him to the guests.

   She first gestured to the person closest to her. It was an elderly man in a kimono. He was not tall, but he was very imposing: "This is my painting teacher, a famous Japanese painter - Ruyuefengshui."

   "Oh! I've heard of it." Suzuki Sonoko was quite familiar with this, "Is that the great painter who is famous for painting 'Mt. Fuji'."

   "That's right." As soon as she finished speaking, a beer-bellied man approached drunkenly. The man was drunk, looked at her with a flattering smile, and said, "The daughter of the Suzuki consortium is here too, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

  Suzuki Sonoko lowered his head and looked at the man's hand grabbing towards his palm: "..."

   Although at this time, it seems that I should politely shake hands with others.

   But seeing that fat face, smiling eyes, and especially the smell of alcohol...

   When Suzuki Sonoko came back to her senses, she had instinctively swooped and teleported away, took a step, and hid behind Jiang Xia.

   The middle-aged man grabbed excitedly, and finally only held Jiang Xia's hand.

   Jiang Xia was startled, looked down from the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at him.

   Hesitating for a moment, he followed what the man said just now: "...What a pleasure to meet?"

   "Humph!" Damu Yansong shook him off in disgust. He glanced at the obstacle Jiang Xia, and suddenly touched his chin with a little doubt, "I seem to have seen you somewhere, have you been to our house?"

   "Huh?" Jiang Xia looked at him carefully, but was not impressed by the face, "No."

   Tokiwa Mio felt the embarrassment of the air.

   She laughed and inserted the conversation between the two, and introduced the drunken man to Jiang Xia and the others: "This is a councilor of Nishitama City, Mr. Iwamatsu Ogi - this building can be built thanks to his help."

   Hearing this name, Jiang Xia's eyes flashed quickly and suddenly realized: "!"

  ...Speaking of "Damu", he does seem to have a client named "Damu".

   The wife kept a Bian Shepherd at home. It was a beautiful and smart dog. After getting lost, she would go straight to the door of the detective office and squat. Every time Jiang Xia opened the door, she could pick it up, which made people worry.

   Congressman Ogi was not interested in Jiang Xia and did not notice any change in his demeanor.

   Tokiwa Mio has also turned his attention to the next person to introduce.

   She raised her hand and gestured to the person behind her: "When it comes to 'building the building', this gentleman is also responsible..."

   This time, before Tokiwa Mio finished speaking, the tall man stepped forward.

   His eagle-like eyes stared at Jiang Xia and introduced himself: "I am the designer of this building, Hidehiko Kazama."

   After a pause, Hidehiko Kazama glanced at Senator Ogi, then at Jiang Xia, and said with a smile, "I seem to have seen you too—you are the detective who was accused by Emperor Morigu of beating.

"It's just that there is no evidence for 'beating people', and no media is willing to report it. In addition, he is a dangerous anti-social criminal, no one takes it seriously. And Sengoku Teji himself... He heard that if he sues, he will be charged in the future. Maybe I need to appear in court to confront you face to face, so I didn't insist anymore. In short, in the end, the matter is over."

   After reminiscing about the past, Kazama Hidehiko suddenly said inexplicably, "I am the disciple of Emperor Morigu."
