Chapter 717 A desperate face-blind person
“One, two——”
Mouri Kogoro closed his eyes and stretched out the prepared moves in his hands. For a while, Only then did he dare to open his eyes and check the results of the punch.
"Won, won?" He looked at his hands, then raised his head and looked at Kitagawa Yusuke standing opposite, a little disbelieving.
Just now, Kitagawa Yusuke, who had been sparring with the stubbled and indifferent Iwai Munehisa like a ninja for almost ten minutes, lost to him so easily?
"Congratulations." Tangze nodded to him calmly after achieving his goal, turned around without any nostalgia, and stood next to Akai Shuichi.
His main purpose in participating in boxing was to use Kisaragi Hosui's luxury watch to earn Mio Tokiwa's gold coins. Karasawa had little interest in sports cars or anything like that.
The Phantom Thieves have no shortage of cars, not to mention this one that is about to be buried in the explosion. There is nothing wrong with making Mouri Kogoro happy.
"Congratulations, Mori-senpai." Seeing that the situation of rushing left and right and turning sharply finally came to an end, Mio Tokiwa clapped vigorously with a sense of relief. "The final winner is the famous detective Kogoro Mori. Sir, let him say a few words..."
"Ah, now I don’t have to rent a car anymore. However, not having a parking space will become a new worry."
"Hahaha..."
Jiba Mio and the guests laughed happily, and a few people standing behind them also applauded politely.
Karasawa and Shuichi Akai looked at each other and started talking quietly.
"Your identity is not very solid, Karasawa. Don't you intend to use it as a false 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 surprisingly, he was able to discover his identity. Tang Ze replied softly: "Am I not versatile enough? Why spend so much energy on an identity that is needed temporarily. You are secretly watching Er Er again. Chome?”
Dr. Agasa's house where Haibara Ai lives, the Kudo house that became vacant with the appearance of Edogawa Conan, and the Amamiya house where a bunch of weirdo thieves with shocking identities live...
The 2-chome is almost complete. Intelligence organizations and military strategists must compete for a place. Whether as the team leader of the FBI or as their relative, Shuichi Akai, who does not have Bellmode as an obstacle for the time being, took advantage of Judy's absence in Japan to pay attention to this street and Not surprising.
Under normal circumstances, the members of the Phantom Thieves do not go through the main entrance or simply do not enter and exit the stronghold in the real world. Only a few people such as Edogawa Conan have the privilege to knock on the door, so that Muggles such as Bell Mod, I guess you still think that No. 22 is basically vacant until now.
Kitagawa Yusuke caught the attention of Akai Shuichi after he appeared in the area. It was normal, but Karasawa didn't hide it. The last time he went to the street to perform and paint because of the attack, he was indeed a bit high-profile. .
Akai Shuichi, who knew that Karasawa could not stay at home peacefully, could not help but shake his head slightly when he heard the familiar voice.
He was originally not sure whether Kitagawa Yusuke was another layer of Karasawa's painting, until he saw that this guy's movements tonight had inexplicably overlapped with Amuro Toru many times.
There are not many people that Bourbon can trust when taking action now, and Tangze himself was absent from tonight's banquet. After thinking about it, he boldly tested it just now, and the result was as expected.
"It's not that I want to stare there. You are all staying over there, and the organization has inexplicably moved around there, so I have to pay attention."
"Don't worry, that's me It's intentional. Give me another week, and I guarantee that no one from the organization will try it again, and it will be safe." Tang Ze smiled confidently.
Not just anyone can break through the Phantom Thieves' stronghold with Noah's Ark. If you really want to attack, no matter how many people come, if you fall into their hands, there will be no return.
Akai Shuichi raised his eyebrows, without questioning Karasawa's confidence. He changed the topic and looked towards the direction of the elevator casually: "That guy fell into the hands of Bourbon. Is there any hope of survival?"
"Probably gone. Gin's gun is certainly not a vegetarian." Tangze glanced in the direction of Building B and joked, "Although the manpower you can mobilize is very limited, you pay close attention to the organization's movements in a timely manner. "Brother Xiuichi."
Karazawa saw off Mouri Kogoro and his group tonight, and hurriedly walked to the Cognition World and rushed to Kisaragi Minesui's house, and came to the building with him. He didn't have the energy to pay too much attention to the Tarots. Just considering that Belmode had returned, he opened his third eye and scanned the venue just to be on the safe side.
At this glance, I saw the dazzling Emperor card.
It’s a pity that Ireland has withdrawn, otherwise the whiskey group of the organization may have an epic competition on the same stage in the Twin Towers. Really, the organization’s annual meeting is not so complete.
Judy has returned to the United States, Kamel seems to be busy with other things, and Shuichi Akai is almost alone in his actions. Without Karasawa ventilating him in advance, he can still hold on to Gin's heels. You guys? Like the old enemy, he knows his radar.
"I wish my sense of smell was really that keen." Shuichi Akai narrowed his eyes and straightened his mouth, "But I followed other things to find this place."
Emotion The somewhat out-of-control Mio Tokiwa added many unrelated people to the banquet, which greatly reduced the difficulty for him to sneak in, so he came to the banquet without hesitation, ready to investigate at close range and determine the situation.
“Other things?” Tang Ze, who noticed a hint from Yuan Jiaming, raised his eyebrows.
"Yes. 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 part of the technical development of the cooperation seems to have happened. Leak. I followed the signal and found this way..."
But they found traces of Gin and Toru Amuro arriving one after another.
Before the project was successfully launched, it was already riddled with holes by insiders... This is the current situation after the organization's tentacles poked out from the shadows and entangled the world.
“Destroying this place is the right decision. It has been corroded to the point of festering, so it’s better to tear it down and start over.”

“The next one is Who? ”
Panting heavily, Zhu Fu Jingguang wiped off the sweat. Not only did his face show no signs of fatigue, but his cat-like eyes even shone with excitement in the dim sky.
The night wind from high altitude kept blowing and hit his cheek, but it did not make the heat on his face subside at all.
This feeling of standing on the front line of fighting is constantly awakening his memory, and the feeling of using the gun in his hand to gain the upper hand makes his condition unparalleled.
Three years of experience in the organization have not shaken his essence, but after such a baptism, he is naturally no longer the fledgling and timid recruit he was when he just graduated.
"The next one will be solved by Noah." Miyano Akemi stepped on the smooth glass curtain wall of the rooftop in a not-so-scientific way, and the dangerous high heels on her feet seemed to be sucked into something that could not be solved at all. Standing on a flat surface.
Standing hundreds of meters in the sky, the entire building with clear windows was brightly lit, like a beacon in the dark night, so they, hidden in the darkness, were naturally even less conspicuous.
The hem of her skirt is flying, and the golden eyes under the mask are shining with the sharp edge of a feline.
"Kangze has made plans. You should understand our real goal, Mr. Zhufu."
"...Ah, of course I understand." Holding the gun in his hand , Zhu Fu Jingguang pulled off his hood, "I really hope I can see that guy's panicked look."
"Isn't that simple?" The color of the clothes was very conspicuous, so he kept hiding in the shadows. Xingchuan Hui sneered, "Just take off your hat and let them see your face."
If Zhu Fu Jingguang's resurrection from the dead is a miracle for Jiangu Ling, it is undoubtedly a ghost story for the organization.
“It’s hard to say.” After listening to Karasawa recounting the question of who Kudou Shinichi was in Gin’s speechless speech, Asai Narumi said seriously, “Maybe I can point to the face-blind sniper. , I have forgotten what you look like. Didn’t he say that he didn’t remember the dead person?”
Even if Zhu Fu Jingguang once had a code name, even if he was in Ginjiu’s action team, I have done some work, but who knows, what if Gin really follows the persona and is an android who regularly formats discarded data on his own, then isn't this just ogling a blind man?
"...That's really a problem." Xingchuan Hui, who was inexplicably convinced, fell into deep thought.
————
"Well, brother..." Vodka glanced at the mailbox and reminded in a low voice, "Bourbon sent the target's room number."
"Don't make any noise." Gin moved away from the scope. Eyesight, he clicked his tongue in annoyance.
There were quite a lot of people in the venue. He had been staring for almost an hour, but he didn't find any targets similar to Shirley. Now that he was being urged to work by his colleagues, he was naturally very unhappy.
"Well, since that woman is now hanging out with the Phantom Thieves of the 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 Euphemistically persuading, "She's definitely not so stupid as to just run in without any disguise." Gin adjusted the direction of the gun, adjusted his breathing, and ignored Vodka's vague suggestion to give up.
He will find the timid little mouse.
When the computer room explodes, these guys will be trapped in a high-altitude black box and have to escape bit by bit through the only passages. By then, he will have more opportunities to find her.
He personally came here to be a hunter and would never let himself return empty-handed.
Gin raised the corners of his mouth cruelly, put his eyes on the scope again, and pulled the trigger towards the position marked by Bourbon.
Without caring about the result, he fired a shot and once again turned his attention back to the banquet hall where people were drinking and drinking.
"Next."
————
"The next thing I want to introduce to you is tonight’s most important guest, who is also a national treasure-level painter, Mr. Ruyue Fengshui. Work! "
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 Kisaragi Hosui's work appeared on the screen, just covering the faint outline of Mount Fuji at night.
This was naturally another demonstration of Mio Tokiwa's skills, and the guests in the venue quietly marveled.
"As we all know, Mr. Kisaragi Homizu especially loved Mount Fuji. He spent more than thirty years painting the heroic appearance of Mount Fuji. Once, in order to celebrate the completion of the twin tower skyscraper of his student, Miss Tokiwa Mio, He sent his latest masterpiece. In addition, Mr. Kitagawa Yusuke, Miss Tokiwa's fellow student, who has become famous in recent years, also came with his teacher to dedicate this pearl to Nishitama City. Congratulations..."
The host's ups and downs voice echoed in the venue along with the loudspeaker. Conan, who was holding his arms, curled his lips.
"Send it, that's really nice to say."
The current relationship between Kisaragi Hosui and Tokiwa Mio, let alone becoming enemies, is still tense. With the completion of such an eyesore building, Forget about celebrating, Ruyue Fengshui didn't find a media outlet to spray this unscrupulous disciple with blood, so he was very tolerant.
Conan even secretly guessed that if it weren't for his close disciple who came along the way to support him, Ruyue Fengshui might not have come at all, and forget about it.
“You can’t say that you bought it specially from the teacher at a price lower than the market price, right?” Haihara Ai shrugged with his hands behind his back, “She said so, Mr. Kisaragi can still Is it possible to expose her?”
Seeing that the atmosphere was in place, the emcee waved his hand towards the taut curtain behind him and said loudly: “I would like to invite everyone to enjoy "Fuji Spring Snow" and "In the Night" !”
The curtain behind him slid open to both sides with the gradual sound effects.
The spotlights on the stage gradually turned on, illuminating the entire stage.
Two fixed paintings slowly fell from the top of the stage.
One is a drawing of Mount Fuji shrouded in clouds and mist, and the whole is composed of grass green and bright yellow, full of spring. The other is an abstract starry sky and night, such as a high tower, and A building with a door to the other side.
Taking a deep breath, Mio Tokiwa smiled and was not ready to look back at these two disturbing things.
Obviously, both paintings were completed from Kisaragi Hosui's studio toward Mount Fuji, but they were completed at different times.
I don’t know whether it was done intentionally by the person who placed it, or whether it was the master and the apprentice’s original intention. The two wide and flat scrolls on the top and bottom just painted a kind of control group. Considering that Kisaragi Feng Shui's temper and attitude were more of a congratulatory gift than an attempt to cause trouble.
But Mio Tokiwa could only keep smiling, accepting this sarcastic and strange tone, and thanking her sincerely.
She took the microphone handed over by the emcee: "Thank you, my mentor, and my outstanding junior fellow students..."
Just as she raised her head, a panicked voice suddenly sounded in the dark venue. The cry.
"Chairman Tokiwa, it's bad! Well, something happened to Senator Oki!"
Mio Tokiwa was startled at first, and then frowned suddenly.
Who is this, shouting recklessly here? ! Didn't she give her instructions? Even if something big happened, even if someone died or there was a fire, she should be told first!
Shout loudly like this in the venue——!
“Wha, what?”
“Ah, the police are here——”
“What happened? Didn’t Representative Ohgi save him?!”< br>
The venue was noisy, and the sound for a moment even overwhelmed the loudspeaker that made noise as Tokiwa Mio rubbed tightly against her.
"Everyone, everyone, please calm down first..."
Jiba Mio tried to control the situation a little, but at this moment, several other high and low sounds came from the chaotic crowd. Different screams.
“What’s wrong, hubby, hubby!”
“Hey, Mr. Tanaka, why did you suddenly...? No, don’t come closer!”
"Who, who suddenly stepped on my skirt - Hey, why did you kneel down..."
The venue in the darkness seemed to be completely awakened by the exclamation at the beginning. The crowd was crowded, and chaotic sounds came from all directions. Come, Mio Tokiwa, who realized that the situation was out of control, was once again captured by fear, and her knees trembled.
Here they come, the despicable group of Phantom Thieves who openly pushed themselves into a dead end with huge symbols displayed to the whole of Tokyo, they are finally here!
Kisaragi Minesui paused the crutch in his hand and looked sideways at Kitagawa Yusuke who was standing next to him.
Tangze received the teacher's unkind gaze without changing his expression, and in turn shrugged innocently.
Don't you all know that this shabby building won't survive tonight? These two paintings were all used to fool Mio Tokiwa anyway. He knew that he could not leave the building alive, so it would not matter even if the introduction was interrupted...
He stood on the stage, mouthing. Without moving, looking straight ahead, Mio Tokiwa's rapid breathing disappeared from the speaker, replaced by a voice that was familiar to many people in the room.
"Good evening, distinguished guests and audience." The young man's unhurried voice with a gorgeous accent instantly covered up the noisy movement in the venue, "Thank you all for coming as scheduled. Tonight is truly an unforgettable night, and I am glad that you are willing to come and participate in this grand event with us.”
With this arrogant voice, the device that fixed the two scrolls suddenly moved on the stage. The clamp was released, and the two framed paintings suddenly fell to the ground.
Amidst the crisp crackling sound, the bright red Phantom Thieves logo was exposed on the curtain hanging behind the mechanism, used as a backcloth.
"Joker..." Conan pursed his lips, not surprised at all by this guy's showmanship. He even thought about how long this guy had been following Kaitou Kidd, and how many things he had learned, and how he could surpass him. I like playing the magician trick more and more.
In the center of the stage, the painting is displayed as the main show. This position that focuses everyone’s attention is the right place to appear.
The joker's voice continued on the speakers.
“To the Twin Towers and all those who have an interest in it and share its interests——”
