Chapter 710 Conan: This is the restock!
"If you are talking about Representative Oki Iwamatsu, we cannot deny this possibility." Shiratori Rensaburo nodded and said seriously, "His relationship with the Twin Towers is indeed very close."
Shiratori, a real architecture enthusiast, sighed with mixed emotions when he mentioned skyscrapers.
Moritani Teiji's father passed away, and his successor Moritani Teiji perfectly continued his father's rigorous and geometric design style. Therefore, he began to pay attention to Moritani Teiji's works.
As a result, I didn’t pay attention for long, and Moritani Teiji went in because of the explosion.
Regrettably, Shiratori Rensaburo could only turn to Moritani Teiji's disciples and juniors to find new architects who fit the aesthetics and continue to pay attention to the trends. He had not yet observed the reason, but it seemed that something terrible had happened again. guy.
...Although he has heard that architects can easily get in because of the accountability system, no one has ever told him that it is such an easy method to get in?
"Although Councilor Oki is only a city councilor in Nishitama City on the surface, due to his resume, interpersonal relationships, etc., he actually has greater influence than the mayor." Megure Jusan said After coming up with his own investigation conclusion, the police officer behind him quickly pasted the photo of Omu Isomatsu on the whiteboard.
“Just like this time with the Twin Towers skyscraper, he used many means to finally change the law prohibiting the construction of super high-rise buildings. It should be said that without the participation of Representative Ohki’s influence, there would be no possibility of this building being completed. "Shiratori, who has been paying attention to news in related fields, explained, "It's hard to say what kind of exchange of interests there is, and whether it involves some gray areas. If the Phantom Thieves are targeting him, it would be very logical to put a logo on the outside of the building. . ”
“Furthermore, according to our phone inquiries, Representative Oki has checked into the luxury hotel in Building B of the Twin Towers a few days ago, and it is located on the 67th floor of Building B.” Thirteen nodded, and the subordinate on the other side clicked on the diagram and projected the scene photos and simple diagrams on the projector.
It should be said that the height of the 67th floor is not far away from this eye-catching Phantom Thieves logo.
"But if it is possible for Representative Ohgi, then Ms. Mio Tokiwa herself becomes very suspicious." Mao Lilan thought for a moment and said bluntly, "If the construction of the skyscraper itself may involve To something not so good, wouldn’t the sign on the building most likely point to the owner of the building, Miss Tokiwa Mio herself?”
“This possibility cannot be denied? "Megure Shisan nodded in agreement, and the subordinates behind him also posted Mio Tokiwa's photo on the whiteboard, "And Ms. Mio Tokiwa has also been staying in the hotel in Building B recently. For the convenience of work, she On the first floor above Representative Ogi."
"Well, where is the architect himself?" Recalling the conversation that took place at the venue, Conan raised his hand to nominate, "Mr. Kazama Hidehiko, he said he is Moritani. Where is Emperor Er’s apprentice? Is it true?”
Although Conan spoke in the innocent tone of a child, everyone here understood his subtext.
After all, he was a disciple of Moritani Teiji, who had a history of blowing up many buildings.
"He is indeed a disciple of Moritani Teiji, but unlike his teacher, he is a pragmatist who completely serves the commission, and has almost no insistence on the so-called aesthetic school." Shiratori Rensaburo said affirmatively, and at the same time Leaving a little leeway, "However, Mr. Kazama Hidehiko's professional ethics does not mean that there are no problems with his personal ethics or interpersonal relationships, so he cannot be completely ruled out."
Photos of Hidehiko Kazama It was also posted on the whiteboard, and since the priority was not high, it was posted at the bottom.
“Originally, we had to consider Mr. Yuan Jiaming, the group’s chief engineer, but his current whereabouts are unknown, and it is still questionable whether he can attend the Sunday dinner as scheduled.” Mu Mu Thirteen Shakes Shake his head.
If the target of the Phantom Thieves was really this guy, but the target died first because he was involved in other crimes, the scene would be a bit funny.
Hearing Yuan Jiaming, Conan looked solemn.
This person, who is suspected to have been taken away by the organization and whose life or death is uncertain, needs to know more about his situation.
"I would like to ask, what is the reason why he was included in the list?" Mao Lilan, who received Conan's eager look, understood it, and she was also curious, so she asked, "I think he also invited children to go He plays games at home and has no airs. He doesn't look like a bad guy who would be targeted by the Phantom Thieves."
"Mr. Hara Jiaming has basically no problems in life and work, and rarely makes enemies. During our interviews and investigations within the group, some people reported that Yuan Jiaming was suspected of using the company's equipment for private goods, and speculated that he might be in some financial situation. In addition, the TOKIWA Group participated in the research and development project with the police of multiple countries. It is a joint special confidentiality project, and the project data cannot be leaked easily, but Yuan Jiaming has received warnings about violations of confidentiality agreements within the project team," Mumu Shisan replied.
“Is there a situation in the economy, and then you become a commercial espionage or something?” Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin, “Yes, it is possible. It is a common situation, many companies will pay attention to and hold their senior officials accountable. After all, once this happens, it will easily affect the confidence of the stock market.”
Conan, who was thinking, couldn't help but look sideways.
Suddenly said something that sounded like a consortium heir, but not like Suzuki Sonoko at all...
"You have learned a lot at your home company recently!" Mao Lilan said the same. He looked at his best friend in surprise, surprised and relieved.
With the help of a fund project established in the name of the Suzuki Group, Suzuki Sonoko is gradually integrating into the business market that she claimed she was not interested in in the past, and is gradually becoming familiar with the processes and underlying logic of a huge enterprise.
It’s hard to say which is a better path than what she said before, studying business and handing over the company to professional managers, but since Suzuki Sonoko is trying to learn this new field, it means more possibilities.
"Even if I haven't studied this recently, I have heard of many similar incidents." Suzuki Sonoko held her chin and shook her hair helplessly, "It is not easy to be the person in charge of the entire group."< br>
"Mr. Hara Jiaming is currently missing, but we cannot say who comes first between his disappearance and the announcement of the Phantom Thieves. Let's count him first." Megure Thirteen asked his subordinates to post Hara Jiaming on He walked next to Hidehiko Kazama, and then said, "Miss Nami Sawaguchi, the secretary of the chairman, as far as we know, her father was a frontline investigative reporter who died unexpectedly during her senior year. It cannot be ruled out for the time being whether she may be involved in something. There is a possibility of some grudges."
"It may be Teacher Kisaragi." Kitagawa Yusuke, who had been writing something in his notebook, raised his head and shocked many people when he said, "Teacher bought it for the convenience of creation. It's famous that you can see Mount Fuji from the mansion. Looking towards the building from his studio, you should be able to see the location of this sign."
"Uh, you mean, you. Do you want to prove that your teacher is the target of the Phantom Thieves' change of heart?" Mouri Kogoro looked strange, "You want to say that he may be a sinner?"
"The Phantom Thieves don't always focus on criminals." Shaking his head, he said seriously, "This building is almost finished, so it's impossible to let it go casually. Let the Phantom Thieves adjust the teacher's mentality. It's better than him getting mad one day and directly asking Sister Tokiwa to cause an accident." Come.”
You two are really close masters and disciples...
Feeling a little speechless, but having to admit that Kitagawa Yusuke's proposal was reasonable, Megure Jushi had no choice but to babble and let people post the photos of Kisaragi Hosui as well. Go up.
At this point, the photos of all the relevant people that the few people had met in the Twin Towers that day were listed on the whiteboard. Everyone present could not help but fall silent when they looked at this scene.
"This is not a multiple-choice question at all, it is an elimination question..." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya looked at the faces and complained softly.
"It is indeed a bit difficult to select the target of the Phantom Thieves among these people." Haibara Ai said with high emotional intelligence.
Who says it's not...
Mumu Shisan turned around, looked at the photos on the whiteboard, and then looked at the logo on the projector, sighing inwardly.
But this time, their claims were so high-profile, but they did not describe the reasons why they were targeting this person as they did in the past, as if they were raising suspicions and making it seem like they could fish easily.
Conan silently looked at Kitagawa Yusuke who was writing and drawing on the paper.
The episode where I most want to see the preview letter is that you suddenly save energy and protect the environment and don’t throw away paper.
Not sure if it was because of receiving his gaze, Kitagawa Yusuke suddenly spoke.
"So, why are you choosing here. Can't they be all?"
As soon as this possibility was raised, everyone in the respective analysis couldn't help but be stunned. "Huh?"
"They are all, referring to all of these people..."
"It makes sense. The Phantom Thieves have done something like this before, leaving vague notices and then punishing many people at once."
"But if they all become targets... then, Sunday's venue ..."
Can I really want a banquet with such outstanding people and elites?
Conan was also stunned, but for a different reason than the others.
After reacting, he looked at the notebook in Yusuke Kitagawa's hand in shock.
Before today's inquiry meeting, maybe the Phantom Thieves were only targeting a few people, but after today it's hard to say.
No wonder I have been memorizing something. Is it possible that it was purchased?
————
“Hey, Brother Kitagawa, is what you just said true?”
“What is true?”
< br>
"It's you who said that these people are targets or something..."
"Oh, there is a possibility."
"Liar, aren't you the same...! How could you Don’t you know?”
“I’m not responsible for this. You’ve seen our leader. He is mainly responsible for selecting goals. I just think this is more in line with the status quo. "
As soon as Conan walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department after finishing the individual inquiry, he heard such a conversation and couldn't help but look at Kitagawa Yusuke and the elementary school students surrounding him with a twitching corner of his mouth.
This is really a lie to children.
He remembered that Joker liked to associate himself with the Phantom Thieves. Wherever he appeared, it meant where the Phantom Thieves would appear. When it came to such a large-scale operation, Kitagawa Yusuke was not impressed. Without knowledge, it is absolutely impossible.
Even the part where he proactively proposed Kisaragi Hoisui is probably true - Kitagawa Yusuke wants to continue learning painting, wants to find a good teacher, and takes the opportunity to get closer to his next goal. contradiction.
To put it more exaggeratedly, the Phantom Thieves gave Kisaragi Hosui a change of heart and made him feel more at ease as Kitagawa Yusuke's teacher. It can also be regarded as a different kind of parent test... Although this screening method, It seems a bit too hardcore.
"Okay, I have to go to Teacher Kisaragi's class next, so I have to leave first." Kitagawa Yusuke looked at the time, "Conan-kun, didn't you say before that you wanted to ask me about the leader? ...?”
"Oh, oh yes, come right now!" Conan was stunned, realizing that this was what Kitagawa Yusuke wanted to say to him. He didn't even bother to say hello to a few classmates, and hurriedly chased after Kitagawa Yusuke's footsteps. past.
“Conan is like this again, jumping the gun every time——”
“Damn it, why does he look so familiar with everyone in the Phantom Thieves?”
"Maybe the Phantom Thieves also prefer children with good grades. Do you want to try studying harder next time?"
"Impossible, Xiao Ai, you are deceiving people..."
Listening to the discussion of the classmates behind him with shame, Conan turned his head and looked at Kitagawa Yusuke who called him out.
"As for what you told us before, that software engineer named Yuan Jiaming, he is indeed someone related to the organization, right?" After staying away from the primary school students, Tang Ze stood still and turned around to look Conan trotted over to follow him.
When playing the role of Kitagawa Yusuke, in order to be more in line with the style of a poor guy who goes his own way, Karasawa would choose to walk with a larger stride, giving off a temperament that he would not recognize even his relatives. This is very suitable for short-legged Conan. It’s quite difficult to keep up.
"Yes, I just had suspicions before. You saw it, right? When Gin and Vodka appeared in the Twin Buildings. At that time, the person most likely to come into contact with them was Yuan Jiaming. "Conan's expression became serious, and he confirmed that no one was approaching before he said, "I don't know if you understand. When we entered the building, Yuan Jiaming showed us a new machine developed by their group, which can scan. What a person looks like now, a special machine that calculates what they will look like ten years from now..."
Whether this is related to APTX4869, or is it possible that some people in the organization reported the disappearance of him and Miyano Shiho, When it came to this aspect, Conan didn't have much confidence in his heart.
"It is indeed possible that this is something the organization wants...but it is definitely not something everyone in the organization wants." Tangze shook his head and said something like a tongue twister, so kindly that he gave Conan some answers.
Conan reacted for a few seconds before understanding what he said.
"The development of APTX is not to create a poison. The special changes that occur in you and Ms. Shiho are more like the real effect pursued by the drug than a side effect. This must be You already know enough. Do you think you two are the only successful cases?" Tang Ze crossed his arms and started to make sense based on the amount of information Conan currently has. Analysis, "Suppose, I mean suppose, that there is already APTX in the organization, or some unknown drug related to it, similar successful cases, do you think these people will want to see the research and development of Yuanjiaming and get substantial results?" "
Although there are many experts in the field of criminal investigation who can use many clues to locate the same person across age groups without relying on technical means and relying on formulas and research experience, the nature of face recognition is still Not quite the same.
If a system is really developed that can accurately perform face recognition across age restrictions, and if it is really used for legitimate purposes in the hands of the police and handed over to the organization, then it will be a proper weapon. Many people on the red side want to send it.
Fortunately, your organization is much less reliable than the red team.
"In short, what we can confirm is that Yuan Jiaming is still alive. As for whether his research has fallen into the hands of the organization, we are still further verifying it." There were constant slanders in his heart, but Tang Ze still maintained a calm expression on his face. Seriously, "Before we get a definite conclusion or find Yuan Jiaming, you should try to be careful when going out, and try to cover your facial features when there are cameras."
"...I understand."< br>
“Don’t be too nervous. There are probably more people in the organization who don’t want to see this thing built than people who want to develop it. However, you have to be cautious about the banquet on Sunday.” Maybe, someone is watching over there.”
Tangze touched the heel that had just been swept by the cleaner Gin’s mop, with a hint of personal hatred.
Use your magnifying glasses to look around. It's best if you can kick Gin from the sky with a football.
He's really annoying when he's watching a movie and kicking people's feet.
