Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World
Chapter 354 Dark Tide and Warm Sun: Winery Investigation and Life Stories
In the intelligence room of the secret weapons base, Kudo Yuki was sitting in front of her notebook. At this moment, she was searching the Internet for all the projects that the head of the Ooka family had previously collaborated on with Suzuki Jirokichi, trying to find some clues from past transactions that would be useful to the current situation.
Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a striking headline on a popular information platform, which was the latest report about Suzuki Jirokichi.
Kudo Yuki couldn't help but frown slightly, stopped typing on the keyboard, moved the mouse, and clicked lightly to open the live video channel.
In front of the screen, a female reporter from Japan Shell stood in the bustling scene, holding a microphone in one hand, with a professional smile on her face, and her other hand pointing high to the sky, reporting: "Can everyone see it?
A slender object suddenly stretched out from the towering observation deck of the Suzuki Tower. It was the Sky Showroom that the Suzuki Zaibatsu spent a full 30 billion yen to add.
This exhibition hall is not simple. Standing inside, you can not only have a panoramic view of the capital's stunning street scenes, but also appreciate the precious gems up close. Therefore, there is a constant stream of people queuing up to visit!
Moreover, what is on display in the exhibition hall right now is an incredible treasure, which is the blue jade throne decorated with the world's largest Tanzanite.
However, what is a bit strange is that there is only one camera at the entrance of the exhibition hall. This security system is really too abnormal. Can it really protect the gems from being stolen by Kaito Kidd? "
Kuroba Kaito was standing on the street, watching the news on his phone. He had a playful smile on his face, looked up at the bell tree tower not far away, and muttered to himself, "So that's it, you want me to go and never come back. Humph, but this is more interesting."
In the living room of the secret weapons base, Keimitsu Morofushi was holding a cell phone and making a video call with Kou Date, Kenji Hagiwara, and Jinpei Matsuda.
"Hiro, how's the situation over there?" Ida Hang frowned slightly, his eyes full of concern, and asked first.
Zhu Fu Jingguang adjusted the position of his phone to make his face clearer on the screen. "So far, it's going well. I will do my best to assist Xiaoxue and Zero here."
Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows, raised an unruly arc at the corner of his mouth, and said with a teasing smile: "Haha, Hiro, don't tire yourself out. Just let me know if you need any help."
Hagiwara Kenji nodded in agreement with a gentle smile on his face: "Yes, we are all providing support to you in the rear. If you have any information, please tell us in time."
"Yes, I will. You also have to be careful when you are in charge of capturing the source of the island country. The people in the winery are very cunning."
"Don't worry," Ida Hang waved his clenched fist vigorously, "We won't be careless. We will definitely catch those guys in one fell swoop according to the information Xiaoxue provided."
At this time, Kudo Yuki walked out of the intelligence room and came to the living room. She heard the conversation between Morobushi Keimitsu and Date Kou and others, and the corners of her mouth rose: "Hiro, I will investigate some situations near the evening. By the way, why don't you four handsome guys contact your girlfriends? I'm looking forward to the gossip stories."
When Matsuda Jinpei heard this, his smile became even wider. "Oh, Xiaoxue, you are being gossipy. Miwako and I are very close, and we know each other's feelings without having to keep in touch all the time."
As he spoke, the image of Sato Miwako, who was both heroic and gentle, emerged in his mind.
Hagiwara Kenji scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and murmured with a smile: "Ami and I are pretty good friends. When I'm done with this, I'll have to take her to introduce her to my sister."
Date Kou also laughed and looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu with a hint of mischief in his eyes: "Hiro, how are you and Officer Miyamoto doing lately? You must seize the opportunity."
Zhu Fu Jingguang blushed slightly and coughed softly: "Everything is fine. Let's get together after the mission is over."
Kudo Yuki suddenly remembered something, looked at Date Kou, and said with a smile: "Captain, before you were transferred by Manager Kuroda, you left a string of code for the address of the Poirot Cafe for Officer Takagi, and the case has been solved.
The little boy asked Officer Gao Mu to give you a box of toothpicks as a thank you gift. However, Officer Gao Mu probably can't contact you. Did you receive the toothpicks? "
Date Hang laughed: "Not yet, I guess Gao Mu is worried about how to find me, let's talk about it after I'm done with this."
Kudo Yuki was chatting with Date Kou when Natalie called. She raised her phone and shook it in front of Morobushi Keimitsu's phone screen, saying loudly, "Team Leader, it's Natalie calling."
As she spoke, she picked up the phone and turned on the speakerphone.
"Xiaoxue, I finally got through to you on the phone."
"Natalie, what's wrong?"
"I want you to go shopping with me tomorrow to pick out clothes. I have been out of clothes lately, and I feel like I can't find anything I like in my closet."
"No problem. I'll accompany you to pick out clothes tomorrow. I guarantee that when the squad leader sees them when he comes back, he won't be able to take his eyes off them." Kudo Yuki agreed readily, and did not forget to wink at Ida Kou. It was obvious that she wanted Ida Kou to have some reaction so that she could hear more gossip stories.
Seeing this, Yi Dahang smiled and pretended to be helpless: "You are going shopping again, but don't go shopping for too long, and be careful."
However, Kudo Yuki moved closer to the image of Date Kou on the phone screen and asked with a smile, "Class monitor, what kind of clothes do you like Natalie to wear the most? We can choose the same."
Yi Dahang murmured a little embarrassedly: "Hey, Xiaoxue, why are you asking that? I think she looks good in anything she wears, as long as she is happy."
Jinpei Matsuda also joined in the fun on the other end of the video: "Class monitor, your answer is too perfunctory. You must have a favorite style. Tell us about it so that we can learn from you."
Hagiwara Kenji was grinning from ear to ear, "That's right, squad leader, don't hide it."
Zhu Fu Jingguang also looked at the screen with a smile, waiting for Ida Kou's answer. The living room was filled with laughter for a while. Everyone seemed to have temporarily forgotten the tense and dangerous task and immersed themselves in this relaxed atmosphere.
Natalie couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard everyone's jokes on the other end of the phone. "Oh, don't make it difficult for him. I can pick out the ones I like. But, Xiaoxue, we have to go out early tomorrow so we can visit more stores."
"Then let's set off early. I haven't been shopping properly for a long time. I can go shopping as much as I want tomorrow." Kudo Yuki agreed. She had already started thinking about shopping tomorrow.
She continued to tease Ida Hang, "Captain, just wait and see Natalie's new look tomorrow. It might surprise you. Don't get too excited then."
Ida Hang had a smile on his face and his tone was full of longing: "Then I am really looking forward to it."
A few people chatted for a while on the phone, joking with each other and laughing, and then hung up.
The atmosphere in the living room was still relaxed and cheerful. Everyone continued to chat. Time slowed down in this wonderful atmosphere, and the pressure of those tasks was temporarily put behind them.
Kudo Yuki looked at the people in the video and said with a smile: "It feels good to chat about gossip occasionally. I'm going to prepare for shopping tomorrow, you guys continue chatting."
After saying this, he stood up and walked towards his room, humming a little tune as he walked, his heart full of anticipation for shopping tomorrow.
It was afternoon tea time in the Poirot Café, and the shop was filled with all kinds of customers. Amuro Toru was busy in the kitchen, with beads of sweat on his forehead, but his movements were still orderly.
A regular customer in the store shouted towards the kitchen with a smile: "Mr. Amuro, today's new cake tastes great. Is it something you developed?"
Amuro Toru poked his head out of the kitchen with his signature smile on his face: "Thank you for the compliment. I tried a new recipe today. I hope you like it."
Another customer also joked: "Mr. Amuro, with your cooking skills, you can open a dessert shop. It's a bit of a waste of your talent to be a waiter here."
Amuro Toru walked out while wiping his hands. "No, I like the atmosphere here. I am very satisfied to make delicious snacks and coffee for everyone."
As the sun slowly sets, the sky is dyed with gorgeous sunset glow, and the afterglow shines through the window onto the floor of the cafe, and the light and shadow gradually lengthen. Gradually, the color of the sunset glow fades, night falls, and the city is shrouded in a dazzling light.
Kudo Yuki drove the car towards the Bell Tree Tower. Soothing music was playing in the car, and the gentle melody flowed in the small space, relaxing her originally tense nerves a little.
She thought to herself: "Maybe I can find some breakthroughs from Suzuki Jirokichi tonight. I hope this investigation will yield some results."
By the time Kudo Yuki entered the Bell Tree Tower, the sightseeing time was almost over. The mechanical female voice on the radio was urging again and again: "Today's exhibition time is over, please leave quickly."
The crowd began to surge towards the exit like a tide. The noisy conversations and footsteps intertwined together, making the entire space seem exceptionally noisy.
Suzuki Sonoko, Mouri Ran and Conan stood not far from the entrance, staring at the crowd walking out one after another, their eyes filled with a mixture of novelty and expectation.
"Wow, so many people came out!" Suzuki Sonoko couldn't hide her excitement. She clenched her hands unconsciously and her face flushed slightly. "When I thought that Mr. Kidd might be in there, my heart started beating so fast!"
Mao Lilan glanced at her helplessly, reached out and gently pulled the corner of Sonoko's clothes, and whispered: "Sonoko, you already have a boyfriend as powerful and handsome as Kyogoku Makoto, so you should restrain yourself a little."
Suzuki Sonoko didn't care. She covered her mouth and snickered, lowering her voice and saying, "Ran, to me, Mr. Kidd is like an idol who is out of reach but extremely dazzling. It doesn't hurt to admire him. By the way, Ran, how are you and Shinichi doing recently?"
"I call him or send him a text message occasionally. Last time, I talked to him about the incident with the spirits in the temple on Mount Washio, and we had a really good time."
Conan was listening at the side, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He smiled and nodded at Mouri Ran, looking so well-behaved.
When Suzuki Sonoko heard this, her eyebrows immediately raised up and she shouted angrily, "Ah? Why are you so happy talking about the case again! You are dating now, you should go on dates, go shopping, etc. What's the point of just talking about the case!"
Mao Lilan glanced at Conan quietly, still with a gentle smile on her face, and waved her hand quickly, trying to calm Sonoko's emotions: "But, Shinichi seems to be really busy, there's nothing we can do."
Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips and muttered angrily, "I finally understand. This is all because of that guy. He has no sense of crisis at all!"
"Sense of crisis?" Mao Lilan blinked suspiciously.
"It's that sense of crisis where you don't care about anything, because if someone outstanding comes along one day, they might snatch you away!"
Suzuki Sonoko became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice unconsciously grew louder and louder. Her words could be heard clearly in the somewhat noisy hall, and even Kudo Yuki, who had just walked by, could hear them clearly.
Suzuki Sonoko still felt that was not enough, and she let out a long "ah" and said clearly: "Won't a handsome and smart guy suddenly appear, preferably a detective? If that happens, let's see if Shinichi can still remain so calm, hum!"
Mao Lilan smiled helplessly and had to continue to make excuses for Conan and perfunctorily said, "Shinichi won't be jealous. He's not that kind of person."
Kudo Yuki came over after hearing the voice, and seeing her brother wanting to complain but not being able to speak, she found it very funny, so she came over with a smile and asked jokingly: "Sonoko, I heard your loud voice from a long distance away, what did Shinichi do to make you so angry?"
When Suzuki Sonoko saw Kudo Yuki, she felt like she had found someone to talk to. She took her hand and began to talk nonstop: "Sister Xue, tell me, Xiaolan is so nice, but Shinichi doesn't spend much time with her. He's always busy with cases. This relationship is so boring."
Kudo Yuki patted Sonoko's hand gently and said with a smile: "Sonoko, you are just too worried. You don't know Shinichi's character. He must care about Xiaolan in his heart, but he can't let go of those difficult cases now. After he is busy with this period, he will definitely spend more time with Xiaolan."
Mao Lilan listened at the side, her heart warmed, her face flushed with happiness, and she whispered: "Well, I know, Shinichi has his own ideas."
Conan secretly complained in his heart: "Sister, it's so easy for me to say that. I won't have the energy to take care of anything else until the problems of the winery organization are resolved."
Besides, Xiaolan and I are together most of the time, but we can't be together openly as Shinichi. How can Sonoko understand these difficulties? ]
