Conan: Someone is always trying to murder me - Chapter 453: Countdown to
“Well, junior, is there anything you need me to do?”
Mingmei’s eyebrows jumped and she asked slightly curiously.
“Well, I would like to ask Senior Sister to secretly observe the guests who are not participating in the game later to see if they behave differently from ordinary people.”
Kishida glanced around slightly. At this time, there were already several staff members holding a bamboo basket. While collecting guests’ watches, they also distributed small flags of various colors to them.
However, Mingmei raised her eyebrows slightly and followed Kishida’s gaze in a circle.
“Huh, I’m not wearing a watch, and I don’t want to participate in this game!”
At this moment, Ruyue Fengshui among the guests suddenly snorted coldly, and then said in a cold voice like a bell to the staff who stepped forward.
With that cold and arrogant look, guests who didn’t know it would think how much the Tokiwa Group owed him!
This made the staff look embarrassed and turned around to walk towards the other guest next to Ruyue Fengshui.
“Mr. Kisaragi Fengshui’s temper is really unbearable!”
“Haha, a great painter can’t help but have a bit of a weird temper, but I heard that the Tokiwa Group is buying up Mr. Kisaragi Hosui’s paintings everywhere, and then selling them off at a high price…”
“Oh, I seem to have heard of this before! No wonder…”
The rustling of whispers rang around and reached her ears, causing Mingmei’s eyebrows to frown even deeper. The lines on her forehead seemed to be twisted together. She pursed her red lips and her head gradually began to think. .
Thinking of Kishida’s suspicion that Mr. Kisaragi Minesui is the murderer, even if no evidence of murder has been found due to the “incompetence” of the police, Akemi’s trust in Kishida will not be shaken.
Mr. Kisaragi Minesui is very likely to be the murderer of Representative Oki. Judging from the current clues, the other party will definitely take action against Mio Tokiwa, and it is very likely that he will take action tonight!
But this has nothing to do with Mr. Kisaragi Fengshui not wanting to participate in the game. He was not wearing a watch, so the so-called equivalent gem rewards later had nothing to do with him either.
Well, even if he is wearing a watch, then based on this, the reason why he does not participate in the game is very simple and clear, because as long as Mio Tokiwa dies, the gems and rewards later will naturally turn into nothing like bubbles.
Hey, wait a minute, the reward turns into a ghost…
Judging from the situation of the junior students today, perhaps there are many people with impure intentions among the guests here today, such as the member of the red Siamese cat. If they are going to attack here tonight, they will definitely be here first. Put in people…
“Do you suspect that the guests who are not participating in the game may be mixed with some criminals who have ulterior motives and evil intentions and plan to cause trouble here tonight?”
After pondering for a while, when the staff were about to come here to collect their watches, Mingmei relaxed her eyebrows and asked Kishida in a low voice thoughtfully.
“That’s right, except for those who really don’t like (lack of) money, people who don’t want this kind of good thing that can easily double their wealth, even fools don’t bother to be a fool! Well, look!”
Kishida nodded, then pursed his lips slightly.
Mingmei looked over and saw a beautiful young mother holding a baby. Even though the young woman had difficulty with her hands and feet, she slowly handed over the expensive watch on her wrist with the help of the staff. He went up, took a small yellow chess piece, and casually inserted it into his pocket.
Obviously, this mother had no intention of participating in the game, and she must have just handed over the watch in exchange for a gem.
“Ha, I understand, there are only a few people who are not short of money after all! But why do you say that mother is a fool??”
Seeing this, Mingmei nodded clearly, but halfway through her words, she glanced back at Kishida suspiciously.
“The baby in her hand is obviously only a few months old, and as there is a saying, a pregnant woman is stupid for three years!”
Kishida replied casually.
Σ(д—)
“…One, one pregnancy makes you stupid for three years? Is there such a thing?”
Mingmei was startled, blinked her big eyes, opened her mouth slightly, and asked in a daze.
Her thoughts and attention suddenly turned 180 degrees.
“Yeah.” Kishida looked at her strangely and nodded.
“Oh, don’t worry, sister. It’s just that after a woman becomes pregnant, the secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the body increases, which can cause some pregnant women to feel nervous and anxious. In addition, most of the nutrients of pregnant women are absorbed by the fetus, which will also cause nutritional deficiencies in pregnant women. Lack of material will lead to some psychological and physiological changes…”
Haiyuan, who was silent on the side, raised his eyelids and seemed to find the topic turning a little interesting, so under Mingmei’s cute expression, he explained with a chuckle.
“Well, that means it really does happen! Becoming stupid, becoming stupid…”
Mingmei nodded her chin, not knowing what scene she thought of, her face turned slightly rosy, and she repeatedly murmured the word “becoming stupid”.
“Ahem, where does this all go? If you want to be stupid, I will have plenty of opportunities to make you stupid.”
Kishida’s eyes twitched, he patted Akemi’s head lightly, and the words came out without any words.
“Eh!?”((—))
As soon as the words fell, Kishida knew something was wrong. Sure enough, within a second, Mingmei’s whole pretty face was rubbed, and even her ears were all red. The whole person stared with eyes, as if she was stupid, only the white chin seemed to be slightly nodded.
Children.
This topic was just mentioned last time, but now it seems that the junior brother doesn’t dislike children subconsciously~~
Well, and his own…..
“………..”
Please, sister! Can you pay attention to the occasion a little!
Seeing that Mingmei stopped moving, Kishida lowered his head and looked at Huiyuan, and at the same time spread his hands helplessly.
Speaking of his girlfriend’s shortcomings, the first one is naturally frequent love brain.
As for the second one!
Hey, does the senior sister have a second shortcoming?
Kishida thought hard for a while, but still didn’t get the answer, and finally had to give up helplessly.
“Don’t worry, Miss. Your watch is only temporarily stored with us. When the banquet is over and you leave, we will naturally return it to you and give you gems of equal value.”
“But, but even so, what if you get the wrong watch? You didn’t mark it!”
Just when Kishida and Akemi fell into a brief silence, a slight commotion suddenly came from not far to their left. The sound was not too loud in this noisy banquet hall, but the familiar voice still attracted the attention of Kishida and Akemi.
The two turned around and saw Hirokawa Hitomi holding a watch in her hand and looking at each other with embarrassment with the staff.
“Each bamboo basket here has a number, so when you leave, you just need to come to this bamboo basket to claim your watch.”
“Ah, that’s good… um, right! What if there are the same style in the basket and the guest takes the wrong one?!”
Hearing the staff’s explanation, Hirokawa Hitomi was about to nod and hand him the watch, but suddenly felt something was wrong, so she retracted her hand and took the watch back.
“This…”
This time the staff hesitated, not knowing how to refute for a moment, but his expression was speechless.
Although your watch looks more expensive, there are many more expensive ones here, but none of them are as entangled as you!
“Well, maybe I should stop playing! Sorry to bother you!”
After stroking the watch and struggling for a while, Hirokawa Hitomi finally shook her head. After apologizing to the staff, she cast a vague look at Kishida, and then said with a little nostalgia and shyness:
“This watch belongs to a very important person to me. It was one of the gifts he gave me before. It has a very important meaning to me, so…”
She didn’t finish her words, but the guests around who heard the conversation understood what Hirokawa Hitomi meant, and couldn’t help sighing in their hearts.
“Heh, is this the person who is worse than a fool?”
Amei sighed lightly, looking at Kishida’s profile with a half-smile.
“Well, even a fool knows that there is no need to hang oneself on a tree! Look, she is a good girl, with that appearance, she can do anything, why must she hang herself on a tree! Isn’t this even worse than a fool? But, this obviously has nothing to do with me!”
Kishida shrugged and replied in a very indifferent tone.
This is not because he is cold-blooded, but how to say it?
For Kishida, who had experience in dealing with many female licking dogs in his previous life, he has really seen a lot of such small scenes. At this time, he just can’t show any pity or regret.
After all, this will only make female licking dogs feel that they will definitely have a chance to hold the handsome man, so they continue to pester and make people very annoyed!
Therefore, the best way is to cut the Gordian knot!
This way, it will not delay others, nor will it delay your own search for true love!
However, I have found my true love…
Kishida turned his head slightly. Under Hirokawa Hitomi’s gaze, his expressionless handsome face deliberately showed a charming smile of happiness when he saw Mingmei’s pretty face again.
“…….”
The veins on Hirokawa Hitomi’s forehead jumped, and she looked at this scene woodenly, her face gradually turning pale.
However, she did not see that after Kishida turned his head, his eyebrows also slightly frowned.
Kishida was not thinking about Hirokawa Hitomi, but after pretending to be, she thought of her conversation with the staff and felt something was wrong.
The staff did have a lot of loopholes in collecting the watches. Logically, as long as they put a number on each small flag, and then put the prepared stickers with the corresponding numbers on the watches, the guests could use the small flags to claim the watches.
Such a simple operation, Kishida thought he could think of it himself, there is no reason why the talented Tokiwa Group would not think of it!
This shows that the organizers were very perfunctory and did not take care of the details, but this is completely opposite to Tokiwa Mio’s previous performance.
Doesn’t she attach great importance to this opening ceremony? She does everything herself, how could such a small mistake occur?
Could it be…
“What’s wrong? You don’t really care, do you? I don’t care~~”
Seeing Kishida lost in thought, Akemi raised her little hand, shook it in front of Kishida a few times, and laughed lightly and deliberately teased.
“Stop it. Apart from you two sisters, how can I waste my time caring about other women?!”
Kishida, who had already had some guesses in his mind, collected his thoughts and answered with a pout. Then, when Mingmei smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth and looked very satisfied, he flicked her forehead impatiently, which made her feel much more relaxed.
Just at this time, one of the many staff members who collected watches at the banquet hall, a beautiful girl with a very heroic appearance and two thin and long eyebrows that attracted people’s attention, came over with a bamboo basket…
