Chapter 118 Shock + Fear

In the afternoon, the press conference came to an end, and the guests went to the bag deposit area to pick up their things.

After Nobushige got his things, he saw Tequila coming this way.

"It's the man from before." Conan whispered, "I didn't expect that he would also come to the press conference."

Actually not...

The reason why Tequila stayed at the Rice Krispies Restaurant until the end of the press conference to pick up the bag was because Nobushige wanted a complete press conference. He persuaded Tequila to sneak into the crowd during the peak period for picking up bags, saying he didn't want to alert others.

To a certain extent, this statement is correct, because picking up bags in the middle alone will indeed attract the attention of the front desk staff and easily leave an impression.

It’s just that no one in the organization cares about this.

Well, let’s just call mezcal overly cautious!

The matter of buying the list of outstanding programmers from Hideaki Nakajima involved key plans of the organization, so both Gin and that gentleman were very concerned about it. Although the action plan was formulated and arranged by Nobutushige, the entire task was still in charge of Gin, the top person in charge in Japan.

For example, if you take steps like confirming the authenticity of the list, Gin will never miss it.

Nobushige stood next to Conan and Mouri Ran, waiting for Mouri Kogoro who suddenly had diarrhea and ran to the bathroom.

"Ah, it's true, Dad. He clearly said that if he left early, there would be no traffic jam on the road, but he ended up dawdling again." After complaining like this, Mao Lilan worried, "Could it be the harm caused by something eaten at the banquet?" Does he have gastroenteritis?"

"Maybe he caught a cold." Nobushige thought for a while and said, "The vending machine in the banquet hall sells hot tea. Conan and I can buy it. We can also see what kind of drink Conan wants to drink."

"Please take care of Conan!"

"It doesn't matter. Helping to take care of Mr. Mori's children can be considered an agent's daily job. Tea or coffee, what would you like to drink?"

Mao Lilan smiled and said, "No need to trouble you, I'm not very thirsty."

Nobushige didn't say anything, but he helped Mao Lilan buy a cup of hot tea when he was choosing products at the vending machine.

By the way, the weather is getting cooler again, maybe it will be autumn or winter tomorrow.

"Brother Asano." Conan held a pile of drinks and looked up at Nobutushige, "Are you going to recruit other detectives for the office? But I think uncle's current... eh?"

Conan quickly turned his head.

At the end of the corridor, there was a tall man wrapped in black, and he was approaching. Although he didn't speak or even put on a scary face, he still gave Conan a dangerous sense of oppression.

Conan thought for a while: "Speaking of which, when that person picked up the bag just now, it seemed that he was picking up a box from Mantiantian, but Mr. Nakajima clearly said that he was not an employee of Mantiantian."

Nobuhiro was choosing his favorite drink. When he heard this, he just paid attention to Tequila with his peripheral vision: "Maybe he is Mr. President's secret bodyguard. He has been operating in the dark before. Today, at such an important moment as the new product launch conference, he invited the God of Death again." Come and participate, let him go out into the open to ensure safety."

"Hey, Death?"

Conan waited for a second, but didn't wait for Nobuhiro's explanation.

However, putting aside the unknown factor of "inviting the God of Death to participate", he suddenly felt that Nobunaga's words made sense.

While they were communicating, the tall man in black had already walked to the landline opposite the self-service vending machine. He didn't even look at Nobuhiro and Conan the whole time.

However, Nobuhiro didn't look at him strangely until Tequila picked up the receiver.

Tequila had a mobile phone, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to send him emails before. But at this time, he did not hesitate to risk being discovered and came to call the landline... Is it really the mysterious scientific development in the world of Ke Science that is causing trouble again?

Tequila picked up the receiver but didn't press the dial button. He glared at Xinfan in an extremely "secret" manner, with strong vigilance in his eyes.

Nobushige: ...I understand.

"Okay, let's go there. If we delay any longer, we will really hit Tokyo's evening rush hour."

Conan hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold back his curiosity: "But I also want to see other drinks!"

Nobuhiro smiled helplessly: "Here's the change for you, remember to hurry up." As he said that, he had already taken the drink and walked in the direction of Mao Lilan.

"Um!"

Tequila watched silently as the man just moved away, and then pressed a series of numbers with confidence.

As for the children - they are just children.

"Hey, it's me, Tequila." He lowered his voice deliberately, and his whole temperament became darker again, "Why is it you, Gin?"

The new code name of the wine only made Conan alert, but as soon as the name "gin" came out, Conan was immediately shocked and frightened, and the coins in his hand were scattered on the floor.

However, at this time, his understanding of the organization was still very limited, and he failed to realize the true terror of the transnational criminal group. Although Conan was a little scared, it was far less frightening than when he and Haibara Ai were together later, as if they were seeing the end of the world.

Tequila glanced at him: "It's a kid who left coins all over the floor... Gin has other tasks, won't it be confusing if he follows up on so many tasks at the same time... Yes, I'm with him Mescal acted together, but I don’t know if that guy came to the scene... Don’t worry, Mescal asked me to stay and evacuate now for this reason, I will join you soon."

At the same time, at the contact point of a nearby organization——

Gin finally put down the phone in his hand. He turned to Vodka and said, "Let him find a place nearby to check the things."

"Yes, boss."

…

After hanging up, Tequila put one hand in her pocket and held the box in the other, preparing to find a private and hidden place to end today's mission.

Although I don't know why the list is so heavy, it doesn't rule out that Nakajima Hideaki carefully compiled the information of those people in order to cooperate deeply with the organization.

"Wait a minute! Uncle!" Conan suddenly shouted and squatted down, "You stepped on my coin!!"

"Get away!!!"

Tequila unceremoniously kicked Conan's frail body and kicked him aside.

Conan clutched his absolutely injured stomach and stared at Tequila's retreating back. Those eyes had completely lost their childishness at this moment, leaving only calmness and prudence.

That man is a member of the organization that turned him into what he is now. He must have an ulterior secret to be here today.

damn it! ! He must let the police discover the hateful face of this organization, and then kill them all! !

But...that guy probably doesn't know that a child can install bugs on the soles of his shoes, right?

It feels like Conan's excuse is really an excuse. Tequila is leaving, and even if he steps on a coin, he will let go at the next step.

Emm, anyway, the organization is stupid when it comes to Conan.
