Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

Chapter 214 World Sports Sponsor

At the send-off party for sponsors of the World Cup, Suzuki Sonoko looked in surprise at Nagai Hikaru, who was wearing a black one-shoulder dress with white edges, and Haba Shira, who was standing next to her in a black suit.

"I'm surprised, Mr. Haneba, I thought you wouldn't enjoy these occasions."

"It's nice to join in the fun occasionally. It's too boring to stay at home facing Sally every day." Yuba Bai nodded slightly.

The introduction on the stage said that this vacuum superconducting maglev train can reach a maximum speed of 25 kilometers per hour, and it only takes minutes to travel from Shin-Nagoya Station to Tokyo Shibahama Station.

Next to Shibahama Station is the Shibahama Stadium, the main venue for the opening ceremony of the Tokyo World Games.

Mao Lilan, who had just come from the restroom, took Conan to Nagai Hikaru and said, "I got lost while looking for the restroom. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

Conan looked up at Hanabara and nervously greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Hanabara."

Habashiro looked down at Conan and said, "Hello."

Mao Lilan also greeted them and said with some concern: "Xiao Ai said she was not feeling well and could not come. I wonder how she is now?"

"When I called her yesterday, she seemed to have a cold." Nagai Mitsuru said, supporting his face with his hands.

Conan glanced at Haku Haneba and thought that for safety reasons, Xiaoguang called Huibara yesterday to remind him not to come. He also wondered if Haneba had seen Miyano Shiho's childhood appearance.

On the stage, President Alan, President of the World Sports Federation and former FBI Director, began his video speech.

Yuan Tai held his head with envy: "I really want to ride on the superconducting maglev train."

When the stage said that the first batch of candidates would be selected by lottery from ordinary people, several children's eyes lit up.

Conan looked up at Nagai Hikaru, who winked at him and whispered, "I got the news in advance and have made preparations. Sonoko has also made preparations. The two of us have obtained enough votes together, but don't tell me yet."

"You really spoil them." Conan whispered.

Nagai Hikaru leaned over and whispered in Conan's ear: "There's also Ai, so you guys go when the time comes. I'll take Brother Bai to play in other places in Nagoya."

Conan glanced at Haba Shira, who was looking at the sponsor's image on the screen on the stage, and nodded: "He..."

"I don't know, don't ask." Nagai Hikaru tapped Conan's forehead with his index finger, "Just have fun."

The food cart was pushed up. The buffet-style banquet officially began, and the children cheered and rushed to the food cart.

Nagai Hikaru took the orange juice from the waiter's tray and watched Haba Shira pick up a glass of champagne.

"How do you feel?" asked Hikaru Nagai.

"In the crowd? I don't feel anything special." Yuba Bai said expressionlessly, shaking the cup.

"You didn't like this kind of occasion before?"

"No, in fact, I neither like nor hate this kind of occasion. But socializing is troublesome. Fortunately, there are no strangers who come up to talk to us in this venue."

"Although we at Lemon Technology are also the main sponsor, it seems that no one wants to get close to me." Nagai Mitsuru smiled and took a sip of orange juice.

At this moment, the view darkened and the lights in the conference hall went out, leaving it in darkness.

Nagai Hikaru felt a tightness on his waist and was pulled into Hayao Haku's arms. The orange juice in his hand fell over and seemed to hit something.

"Is there a power outage?" Just as Yuba Bai had the question, he heard the broadcast sounding, and it seemed that there was a problem with the power system.

There were hurried footsteps all around. A few minutes later, some dim emergency lights came on, and Nagai Mitsuru saw that one of the Suzuki family members who was standing next to them was missing.

"Dad?" Suzuki Sonoko shouted, and Mrs. Suzuki also took out her cell phone and started calling.

Nagai Mitsuru gently patted Hanaba Shira's arm, asking him to let him go, and followed Maori Ran to Suzuki Sonoko.

Soon things seemed to get complicated. It was very difficult for a person to disappear completely in 30 seconds of power outage. When the police arrived, the power was fully restored in the entire hall.

Habashiro had already put down the champagne, stood next to Nagai Hikaru, and asked in a low voice: "You know?"

"Some speculations." Nagai Hikaru didn't laugh, but just shook his head slightly, "It's best not to interfere."

Habashi frowned and asked, "Should we tell them that there is one less dining car?"

"Did you notice?"

"It's obvious." Hanabashiro raised his hand and pointed, "That position is empty now."

Nagai Hikaru immediately called out to Conan and pointed to the empty seat: "There's one less dining car."

Yuan Tai quickly ran to that place and smelled it: "I smell the scent of eel rice!"

Soon, several people speculated that President Suzuki was taken away by the dining truck.

"When did you notice that the dining cart was missing?" Nagai Mitsuru asked Yuba Haku in a low voice.

"You spilled your orange juice. Look at the carpet." Nagai Mitsuru lowered his head and noticed that some orange juice dripped on the carpet and left a trail of wheel marks heading toward the door of the venue and the kitchen. Although the mark was not conspicuous on the colorful patterned carpet, it pointed out the direction.

"The orange juice spilled on the dining car?" Nagai Mitsuru was very surprised.

Hanaba Haku nodded, "The Suzukis were standing next to us at the time, and I saw the flash of someone using a stun gun."

Nagai Hikaru understood: "So you pulled me over at that time."

"...I pulled you over first, and then someone appeared where you were standing."

"What do you mean?"

Hanaba Haku recalled: "Both you and Suzuki could be targets."

"What the hell? I have something to do with this plot?" Nagai Mitsuru was shocked.

"Do you know what's going on?"

Nagai Hikaru took Habashi's arm and said, "Ah, yes, I am a sponsor of the World Sports Association... I am also a sponsor, and Lemon Technology is also a comprehensive consortium."

"Against the sponsors of the World Sports Arena?"

Nagai Hikaru nodded.

Officer Megure came over and told everyone to go back to their rooms and rest, and the police would continue to look for President Suzuki. Nagai Hikaru obediently followed the arrangement.

Soon the Junior Detective Team helped the police solve the case again.

President Suzuki was found in the kitchen cleaning room, but unfortunately he didn't see anything. He was knocked unconscious in the darkness after the power outage.

.

At Kudo's house, Okiya Subaru unexpectedly received a call.

"Judy?"

"I'm sorry, I know it's risky to contact you at this time, but I hope you can work with Tequila to solve this sponsor kidnapping incident." Judy's voice on the other end of the phone was calm, and she already had the attitude of a superior. After James' death, she gradually took over some of his previous affairs in the FBI and began to have some power.

"Tequila? He's in the organization now, and it's not safe for him to participate in operations outside."

"But we don't have any more members in Japan to turn to, Xiu."

It had been so long since anyone had called this name that Okiya Subaru was in a daze for a moment.

"If you want any material assistance, you can let me know in advance. I can apply for it for you. Tequila will follow your instructions this time."

"Just me and him?" Okiya Subaru leaned against the window and looked at the roof of Dr. Agasa's house.

"Yes, it's just the two of you for now, but if you need any off-site help, you can always contact me."

"Why don't they continue to send people over here?"

"…The current president of the World Sports Association, Alan, is the former director of the FBI."

"I see. It also involves factional struggles."

Judy sighed faintly, "Yes, some people don't want the case to be solved. Some even say that this incident happened in Japan and has nothing to do with us."

“No benefit.”

"Or, in other words, this could be an opportunity to further clean up Alan's former influence. After all, Alan has only been retired for a few years, and some people don't want him to continue to influence the positions of some agents."

After hanging up the phone, Subaru Okiya lowered his head in thought in the dark room, a white light reflecting off his glasses.

"The kidnapping of the sponsor of the World Games fifteen years ago?" Looking at the message on his mobile phone, Subaru Okiya stroked his chin and began to think, "It's too dangerous to ask Tequila to come out and meet. We have to find other helpers."

In Dr. Agasa's office, Conan is searching for the kidnapping case of the Sekai Club fifteen years ago and the kidnapping imitation case eleven years ago.

"They are all like this. The first one is a candy company, the second one is a comprehensive consortium, and the third one will be a sponsor of the automotive industry." Conan said as he flipped through the photos.

"Wait." Xiao Ai clicked, "Comprehensive conglomerate..." In the classification of comprehensive conglomerates, the first one is Suzuki Group, and the second one is actually Lemon Technology.

"How come?" Conan was surprised. "Lemon Technology has become a comprehensive consortium? I thought it was just a mobile phone manufacturer."

Huiyuan Ai tapped the keyboard a few times and called up its subsidiaries and a series of affiliated companies: "How come it has developed so rapidly?"

Conan looked at the subsidiaries that ranged from software design to medicine and even agricultural technology branches. "No wonder Xiaoguang is in Tokyo now. In addition to walking the dog, he must be there whenever there is something going on at the company."

"...Sister, his status may be higher than we thought." Huihara Ai stroked her chin and thought, "Even if it's just for the company's appearance, but there are obviously more choices, but they still pushed him out."

"Conan, what are you talking about? Sister Sonoko said she got the VIP tickets, and sister Xiaoguang also got the tickets. We can all ride the maglev train." Ayumi happily ran to the sofa.

"Really? That's great." Haibara Ai nodded slightly, and then was pulled to see the pile of Kamen Rider gifts brought by Suzuki Sonoko.

Conan continued to look at the computer screen and clicked on some links. He remembered the orange juice spilled on the corner of the table when they found the dining car: "At that time, Xiaoguang... was also one of the targets?"

It seems that badminton fields are really necessary.

Picking up the phone, Conan saw an email sent by Okiya Subaru: Boy, I have something to ask of you now, come over and let’s talk in detail.

On the other side, Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan stood up and said, "Okay, okay, you can go home after you get your stuff."

Conan put away his phone and said with a smile: "Well, Sister Xiaolan, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to take something from Sister Xiaoguang's place."

"Ah, then I'll go with you."

"No, it's very close, and I want to go play with Sally."

"Hey, we also want to play with Sally." Genta said while holding the Kamen Uzumaki figurine.

Mitsuhiko shook his head: "There are so many toys. We should take them home first, right? We can't take the toys to see Sally. She will think they are gifts for her."

Yuan Tai hugged the figurine tightly: "That really won't work... It seems like we'll have to do it another day."
