Conan: Someone is always trying to murder me - Chapter 454: Countdown to
The female staff member who came over with a bamboo basket looked heroic and beautiful, with a sincere smile on her face that was rare in the service industry. She was the type that made people fall in love with her at first glance.
However, when Kishida saw her for the first time, he felt an urge to crush her. Just like when he saw Shuichi Akai, he felt unhappy in his heart!
This woman must have offended the original person before, so the original person may be causing trouble now! ?
As he took off his watch, Kishida muttered in his mind. He always felt that something was wrong with this woman, so he did not put the watch in his hand into the bamboo basket handed over by the female staff member.
“Huh? Sir, don’t you want to participate in the game?”
After waiting for a while, the female staff member glanced at Kishida’s watch, but still couldn’t see any movement from him, so she said blankly with obvious helplessness and confusion on her face.
“I want to participate.”
Kishida nodded, but still held the watch firmly in his hand.
This made the female staff member look even more helpless.
“Sir, I have to collect the watches of the guests behind me. You…”
The woman didn’t finish her words, but her face was full of embarrassment.
Looking at her like that, it seemed that Kishida’s behavior in wasting her time made her slightly dissatisfied…
“Well, I’m actually a little worried here. After all, this watch is a relic left to me by my late father. It has special meaning to me. If someone misplaces it and disappears, I will have a headache.”
Seeing this, Kishida scratched his head, with a hint of apology on his face, and said rather embarrassedly.
“…I see, no wonder you, sir, are in such a difficult situation. Well, if you can trust me, sir, I will take good care of this watch for you. Anyway, there is only one watch, so it is not troublesome to keep it alone.”
The female staff member was silent for a while, seemingly thinking. After a moment, she suddenly showed a friendly smile and suggested to Kishida with a smile.
“Hey, this is a good idea!”
Kishida’s eyes lit up and he nodded frequently.
“Haha, in this case, please sir…”
“But, unfortunately, I can’t trust you!”
Under the smiling expression of the female staff member, Kishida blinked, shook his head with regret, and said seriously.
Then, the woman’s smiling face froze in an instant.
“…I, this, sir, you are…”
The woman’s heart suddenly thumped. She wanted to say something, but she couldn’t say it. She could only look like she was helpless and aggrieved after being teased.
Did this damn man see some flaw in himself?
“Oh, right! Well, my girlfriend doesn’t play this game anyway, so can I just leave the watch to her for safekeeping? Anyway, people who don’t participate in the game don’t have to take off their watches. Well, you see, that’s okay Well?”
Kishida suddenly patted his head, seemingly enlightened.
“Haha~”
Akemi, who had always regarded herself as a transparent person, couldn’t help but laugh angrily when she heard this. She seemed to be helpless by Kishida’s inexplicable and elusive behavior.
“Oh, sir, this is not in line with the rules. Moreover, if this is the case, even if you choose to participate in the game, after the banquet is over, you will definitely not be able to enjoy the equivalent gem reward benefits from us… .”
She looked at Mingmei and followed her with a chuckle. The woman suppressed her inner impatience and explained in a low voice.
“Uh.” Kishida was stunned. He really forgot about this.
Only by handing it in can you get your assets doubled. Even though it is said to be a reward for playing the game, there is such an obvious little loophole, just like telling you that there is a certain small risk and asking you if you still want to invest. Faced with such a trivial risk, most of the people present are normal people with money, and they will definitely hand over their watches without hesitation…
“Hey, Kishida boy, what are you doing? Hurry up and hand over your watch. The game is about to start. Don’t delay our participation in the game!”
Perhaps because they were really impatient to wait, several middle-aged men beside Kishida, holding watches that they had taken off early, shouted in displeasure.
“Ha~”
Although he didn’t know whether those people knew the original person, Kishida chose to ignore them and pondered for a moment. He suddenly smiled, and under the puzzled expression of the female staff member, he chuckled and said:
“Actually, I can tell from your face that you are an honest and trustworthy person! Well, I will leave my watch to you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kishida handed the watch to the woman in front of him.
“Haha~ Sir, you are so interesting.”
After the woman took the watch and handed it to Kishida with a small flag, she complimented him with a smile but felt happy inside. Then she turned around and walked towards the middle-aged men.
“Wait a moment!”
Kishida suddenly stretched out his right hand and took her arm.
“Um?”
“Ahem, I haven’t asked Miss your name yet.”
Kishida coughed slightly and asked with a chuckle.
Before she finished speaking, Mingmei’s eyebrows jumped.
“Aoi Yui.”
Aoi Yui glanced at Akemi. Even though she was sneering in her heart, she still had a faint and warm smile on her face.
“….Well, Yui Aoi, that’s really a good name!”
After recalling it in his mind and confirming that there was no such name in the contact notes on his mobile phone, Kishida couldn’t help but give a thumbs up and couldn’t help but sincerely praise him.
Well, if it doesn’t seem too inexplicable, Kishida might also ask if she has a friend named “Hatano Sora”…
“Uh, thank you.”
Under the slightly dark look on Akemi’s face, Aoi Yui, who felt Kishida’s sincere praise, the smile on her face became a little deeper, and then she completely turned around and left under the dissatisfied urging of the guests over there. open.
But no one around saw that Yui Aoi had a fleeting gloomy smile on her face the moment she turned around, except…
Among the guests, there was a man who had refused to participate in the game, but was always secretly spying on Kishida.
It was a man wearing glasses who looked quite handsome at first glance, but at second glance he was not as ordinary as he seemed at first glance.
However, the faint smile on his face, the brown hair, and the squinting eyes that seem to be unable to open no matter what, make it difficult for people to doubt…
Is this guy Suzuki Ayako’s brother who has been missing for many years? Well, the one between the two is closer than Suzuki Sonoko!
Sure enough, these guys are here too! Moreover, it seems that he is still here for this guy. Ha, the development of things is really getting more and more interesting…
He squinted his eyes and pushed up his glasses, put his hand into his pocket where the object was hidden, and scanned the whole place with a vague gaze. On the surface, he did not make any movements, just like a very ordinary guest.
Just like his identity as a vest who had prepared for a rainy day and forged information not long ago!
“Is there something wrong with that woman?”
On the other side, Akemi was half-leaning on Kishida, watching Yui Aoi with a vague gaze as she twisted her sexy waist to close her watch, but her lips whispered in Kishida’s ear, her tone was very serious.
“Um!”
Kishida responded softly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he said slightly teasingly:
“Tsk, I thought I just smelled your jealousy, senior sister~~”
“Others don’t understand you, how can I still not understand you…”
Mingmei rolled her eyes slightly, feeling annoyed.
“Hey, then that~”
Kishida smiled, but before he could finish speaking, Akemi directly took over the words.
“I will keep an eye on that woman, don’t worry!”
After Mingmei finished speaking, she slightly raised her eyebrows, as if to indicate to Kishida that she was as confident as she knew him as she said.
“Hahaha, it’s true~”
Seeing this, Kishida was amused by her and burst into laughter.
“Hmph, this is the quality I should have as your qualified lover~~”
Mingmei raised her white chin slightly, her tone full of pride, but before Kishida could reply, she suddenly remembered something again, changed the topic suddenly, and said with a chuckle:
“Oh, by the way, junior! Well, what do you think…”
“No need to ask. Regardless of how nice the name is, or appearance and temperament, there is no doubt that the senior sister will completely defeat this Yui Aoi!”
There was no need to think about it in his mind. Kishida, who boasted that his “sense of smell” was as good as anyone else’s, immediately understood that the bit of sourness he just smelled was indeed correct, so before Akemi finished speaking, Kishida imitated her previous tone and raised his eyebrows.
“Ha, hahaha~~”
As expected, Mingmei instantly laughed dryly, and her chin that she had just raised immediately lowered it in embarrassment.
“How about it? As a man, I am also qualified for you, right? Haha, this time we will call it ‘heart-to-heart communication’!”
Kishida held Akemi’s slender waist with one hand and said very coquettishly.
“Hey hey hey~~”
Akemi felt happy in her heart, with a smile in her eyes, and she laughed happily along with Kishida’s laughter.
“…You two, if you don’t stop, the game will be over.”
At this time, Huiyuan, who had always been regarded as a transparent person, curled his lips and shook his head helplessly.
“Eh?”
Kishida and Akemi were startled and quickly looked up.
“…So for the sake of the fairness of the game, guests who are not participating in the game are asked to stand on the right side. After I say the start, when all the guests participating in the game count to 30 seconds, please raise the flag! “
However, at this time, Belmode on the podium still looked like the leaders were talking at length about where the game was over during the speech.
“…”
Kishida and Akemi stared at Haibara speechlessly, but Haibara shrugged calmly and walked to the right without giving them a chance to speak.
Naturally, this girl did not participate in the game. Firstly, her watch itself was not a valuable item. Secondly, of course, it was because she wanted to follow her sister and observe people with evil intentions here.
“Haha~”
Akemi reluctantly broke away from Kishida’s half-hug, smiled lightly at him, and then followed Haibara and walked to the right.

“Officer Megure, I really can’t bear it anymore.”
At the same time, in front of the entrance of the Twin Towers skyscraper, Officer Takagi clamped his legs and looked at Officer Memu with a look of grievance and embarrassment, and his tone was very resentful.
“…Really, you, oh, go, go, go, go and come back!”
Inspector Megure rolled his eyes and waved at him helplessly, but before he could finish his words, he saw Takagi running into the building like a wild dog.
“It seems that Officer Takagi has been holding it in for a long time…”
Inspector Shiratori said with a smile.
However, running so fast, Officer Takagi is not afraid of being missed…
