June 30th, an ordinary day
That morning, Hayashi Yoshiki drove Hibiki Eri to her law office to work and arrived at the Hibiki Law Firm before nine o'clock.
"Thank you so much for giving me a ride, Xiaoshu."
Eri Kisakie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, unbuckled her seat belt and smiled at Hayashi Yoshiki.
"It's nothing, Aunt Yingli, I just happened to be going out too."
"When you meet Ran Mouri later, don't forget to take good care of her for me."
"OK."
"See you later then."
"See you later."
After Kisaki Eri got out of the car and walked into the office, Hayashi Yoshiki stepped on the accelerator and left the place.
The main reason today was that Hibiki Eri's car had a problem, so Hayashi Yoshiki gave her a ride, and also, he happened to be going out at this time.
There was an invitation letter on the center console of the passenger seat.
?To Mr. Hayashi Yoshiki?
[We are honored to invite you to attend our new product launch conference scheduled at 10 am on June 30th. We hope to receive your guidance and suggestions. ]
?Location: 8th floor of Mantiantang headquarters?
?--Mantiantang Co., Ltd.?
This invitation letter was found by Hayashi Yoshiki in the inbox of his own detective agency last week. After a little research, he realized that it was Kogoro Mouri who proposed the invitation to Manten Company. Kogoro Mouri was recently invited by a game company to supervise the production of a mystery game, and the purpose of today's press conference was to see the comments of industry insiders.
While driving, Hayashi Yoshiki's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
"It's me."
The cold voice coming from the other end of the phone was Gin's.
Without waiting for Hayashi Yoshiki to say anything, Gin asked directly, "Are you free today?"
"Not today. I have to attend a press conference of a gaming company."
"Heaven is full?"
"You know?"
"That's perfect. It's related to what I want you to do. Tequila, a member of the organization, will go there today to trade with someone. But the Japanese police and the public security have been keeping a close eye on the organization recently. There might be an accident... You can take care of it."
"It sounds like it's a bit risky..."
Hayashi Yoshiki looked at the road ahead intently, and answered casually, "If there is a risk of exposure for me, I won't do it."
"Don't worry, Tequila doesn't know you."
Gin said and hung up the phone.
There are so many things...
Hayashi Yoshiki put away his phone.
--He knew Tequila, an innocent creature who was blown to pieces by a misunderstanding as soon as he appeared on the scene. His death was quite miserable.
However, Gin actually let himself hide in the dark to provide support. It seems that they have been very careful during this period of time.
About forty minutes later, Hayashi Yoshiki arrived at Mantiantang Company.
With less than twenty minutes until the press conference, quite a few people had already gathered in the venue.
"Hayashi Yoshiki!"
Ran Mouri looked very happy when she saw Hayashi Yoshiki and ran up to him to say hello.
"Good morning, Ran Mouri."
Hayashi Yoshiki looked a bit formal in his suit, but the gentle and delicate smile on his face made people feel relaxed from the bottom of their hearts, "You look very nice today."
"Really?"
Ran Mouri was a little happy when she heard the compliment. She couldn't help but open her hands and look at herself, "Obviously, Dad and Conan don't notice these at all."
"Maybe you noticed it but were too embarrassed to say it out loud, but Ran Mouri, you should be quite suitable for the style of Chanel."
"Ah! I think Sonoko Suzuki said that, too."
"Then you can give it a try if you have a chance."
"OK."
Ran Mouri smiled and nodded.
At this time, Kogoro Mouri and Conan, who had just come out of the bathroom, also came over. For some reason, Kogoro Mouri looked so depressed that he could hardly open his eyes.
"Ashu, you are here."
"Well, Uncle Maori looks listless, what happened?"
"It's nothing. Uncle just said he wanted to celebrate early last night so he drank a lot of alcohol." Conan explained.
"No, I just drank five or six glasses..." Maori Kogoro counted on his fingers, "It was just gin, vodka, and bourbon..."
Fortunately, I didn't hear Cointreau from his mouth.
Looking at Ran Mouri holding her forehead and sighing, Hayashi Yoshiki just smiled.
During the conversation, several people lined up to receive conference passes with numbered numbers.
"Ah, how lucky I am! I got number 100."
"Really... maybe something good will happen to Ran Mouri today."
"hey-hey...."
Hearing Hayashi Yoshiki say this, Ran Mouri hung up her conference certificate happily.
"Ashu, you are really good at coaxing people, haha--"
Kogoro Maori complained and yawned.
Conan next to him nodded in agreement - he found that Hayashi Yoshiki seemed to be very considerate of other people's emotions in his dealings with others, and he felt quite comfortable when interacting with him.
Hayashi Yoshiki smiled but said nothing.
He glanced around the scene and didn't see Tequila for the time being, but there were a lot of people in the venue.
"This conference invited almost all the big names in the video game industry, as well as some celebrities."
Maori Kogoro said this, looked at Hayashi Yoshiki and said with a smile, "Ashu, how about trying the game I personally supervised later?"
"Well, this is one of my goals."
"Haha, I promise I won't let you down!"
Mantiantang Company has made a big move this time. Not only is there a mystery game related to Kogoro Mori, but there are also a large number of new works and new arcade frames being released... Looking at the frames in the venue that are somewhat evolved from the arcade machines on the market, Hayashi Jiashu guessed that the technology in this world might have to start to improve a little.
It was almost ten o'clock when a staff member came up to him and said, "Mr. Maori, our game press conference is about to begin. Please follow me quickly."
"Oh, good!"
Kogoro Mori was almost dragged away.
Hayashi Yoshiki looked at the remaining Ran Mouri and Conan and said with a smile: "Let's go try other games first."
"OK."
The three of them began to look around the venue for games that interested them.
At this time, a burly man in black walked into the venue with an aura of "keep away from strangers". He stood in an inconspicuous corner of the venue for a while, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message.
Tequila: "We are in the venue now, so we shouldn't be followed by the police. Also, which Cointreau are you talking about?"
Gin: "Just stay alert and do your own thing."
Tequila: "I know."
Tequila put the phone back in his pocket.
He looked up and saw that there were too many people in black suits in the venue, and it was obviously impossible to tell which Cointreau was.
never mind--
He can handle this kind of thing by himself, and he doesn't need Jundu to share the credit.
