Chapter 246 Conan: I can’t understand it
He walked out of the bathroom and walked back to the venue. Conan tried his best to make his expression look natural.
Joker was really hurting him now.
Tsk, if Kudo Shinichi can't get the news, can Edogawa Conan do it?
Although he has been in the newspapers more than once because he is often involved in cases, if people link Edogawa Conan and Kudo Shinichi because of this kind of gossip, it would be too much. Got it...
Forget it, wait until the matter here is over, and then discuss this issue with my parents.
After regaining his composure, Conan's eyes quickly roamed around the field, and once again locked on Shigehiko Tonkou, who was full of anxiety.
"...Can you explain in more detail?"
"Sorry, sorry everyone, please give me a moment."
The door of the banquet hall opened, and Officer Memu led the Several police officers walked into the venue and walked towards Shigehiko Tonkou who was still surrounded by reporters with a clear purpose.
The action was quite fast, and the efficiency of searching the first lesson was as good as ever.
He breathed a sigh of relief. He stood some distance away from Tunkou Shigehiko, watching from a distance through the crowd.
Megure Police Department stepped forward, drove away the reporters around Shigehiko Tonkou, and then had a brief conversation with him.
The negotiation between the two people did not seem to be successful. Although Zhongyan tried his best to restrain himself, he could still see the slight disgust and impatience on his face.
This is not surprising, neither politicians nor organization members have a favorable impression of the police.
But considering that he has been active in politics for a long time, he may show such an emotional display because he is too anxious.
Did the organization threaten him, or did he sense signs that the organization was going to attack him?
While Conan was still trying to analyze the current situation, he suddenly saw a familiar figure approaching the two people who were not communicating smoothly.
With his soft and docile chestnut hair and his iconic soft smile, he is Goro Akechi.
Now, anyone who tries to get close to Tonguchi Shigehiko will make him pay more attention, so Conan also distractedly observed Akechi for a moment.
Like everyone else who came to attend this memorial service, he also changed into a dark formal suit. The black Italian suit was connected with the black gloves he usually wore. It was much more solemn and steady than his usual clothes.
Shouldn’t this be a high-end banquet in the literary and art world? Why does he appear here?
You can’t just sneak in with the reporters from the TV station, right?
Recalling carefully, it seems that when he entered the door just now, Goro Akechi came in and signed in right after Shigehiko Tonguchi. However, Conan's attention was focused on Shigehiko Tonguchi in front of him, and he only caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye. The impression of a familiar face.
Then what is his purpose of approaching them...?
The puzzled Conan couldn't help but walk around the two tables and get closer, reaching a distance where he could hear their general conversation clearly.
"...Provide appropriate protection, but Mr. Tunkou seems unwilling to accept it. Brother Mingzhi, do you actually know Mr. Tunkou?"
"Ah, by chance, there is After some contact." Goro Akechi passed this part lightly, "I'll tell him about it."
"It's my fault, Mr. Akechi."
Akechigoro kept smiling, walked to Tonguchi Shigehiko, and whispered something.
His voice was very low. Not to mention Conan's distance, even the Memu Police Department standing a few steps away would not be able to hear the content of their conversation.
Zhongyan swallowed and listened to what he said. Small beads of sweat were almost visible on his face, and his nervousness was palpable.
Akechi Goro still had the same smile on his face, and the curve of his face did not change at all, which was in sharp contrast to Shigehiko Tonkoku, which was particularly false.
Tunkou Shigehiko grabbed Akechi Goro's forearm, and his voice became uncontrollably louder, faintly reaching Conan's ears: "What does it mean to be dangerous? What do you know? Don't look like this. That disgusting face, I'm asking you a question!" Goro Akechi raised his eyelids, revealing all his amber pupils, which glowed with an indifferent color under the light: "Let go, Mr. Swallowing. I’m too emotional right now and not rational, I understand.”
"What the hell..." Tunkou Zhongyan clenched his teeth and glared. The veins on the side of his face protruded with his movements, making his bloodshot eyes look particularly ferocious.
Tunkou Shigehiko glared fiercely at the face that was just a short distance away. The twisted look on his face made Conan unsure whether it was fear or anger.
This kind of beast-like expression with bared teeth is so different from the friendly image that Tonko Shigehiko likes to show in front of the public. It is so big that if the reporters who were dumbfounded next to them raised their hands to take pictures, they might No one who buys newspapers will believe that it is a person.
I took a few deep breaths and swallowed hard without saying the next words.
Like discarding trash, he loosened his grip on the arm in disgust, then raised his hand and slapped Akechi hard on the face.
"Mr. Akechi!"
"Brother Mingzhi!"
This sudden conflict panicked the police who were confused about the situation and hurriedly came over to pull the two people apart.
Tunkou Shigehiko used enough strength to hit Akechi so hard that he was shaken sideways.
The crisp sound attracted the attention of the people around. Not only the police, but also two or three waiters passing back and forth with champagne on both sides ran over. Some were checking the situation of Akechi, and some were checking the situation. With a red face, Zhongyan pulled back and separated the guests who had a physical conflict.
"...I'm fine." Goro Akechi pressed his face, and the smile on his face did not waver. "It's okay. Officer Megure, Mr. Tunkou has agreed. You can monitor him nearby. I will cooperate.”
“Oh, Brother Mingzhi.” The embarrassed police officer patted him on the shoulder and blocked the other guests’ inquiring eyes with his broad shoulders, “It’s okay if you have a conflict with him. To be honest, this is too troublesome for you. "
"It's not your problem. He and I don't have a good relationship, but it's understandable that he's excited now." Mingzhi followed the waiter beside him. The student helped him stand upright and smiled generously, "You still have missions, don't worry about me, just protect him first."
The police officers from the Search Division thanked each other for a while, Then according to the original plan, they loosely surrounded the place where Tonguchi Shigehiko was standing.
The movement here has attracted the attention of many people. The murderer may give up his plan because of this, which would be great. The Memu Police Department thought so.
The thanked police officers dispersed, casting disapproving glances at Shigehiko Tonkou.
Only Conan, his eyes always fixed on Goro Akechi, frowned in confusion.
When Shigehiko swallowed his hand just now, he clearly saw Goro Akechi raising his right hand almost reflexively, as if he wanted to restrain the opponent's attack, but at the next moment, he restrained his movement. , just curled up his fingers and grabbed the hem of the suit.
It's as if if you don't control yourself like this, you will punch Tunkou in the face.
Furthermore, although Conan had only seen Goro Akechi's marksmanship, he heard that his physical skills were equally impressive.
There was once a case of gangsters pretending that a woman was attacked at home and trying to lure passers-by upstairs. Akechi Goro, who was nearby at the time, subdued four tall adult men with his bare hands - these were the people who witnessed this incident on their way to school. In this scene, Mourilan was told to him and Mouri Kogoro as new news at home.
No matter how you think about it, he shouldn't be easily attacked by a middle-aged man who seems to be addicted to alcohol and sex.
But what was the point of being beaten on purpose...
Conan, who did not understand the situation at all, fell into confusion.
