Chapter 399: The Midnight Movie

Saturday, April 26, afternoon.

Conan hung up the phone, sighed, and muttered: "Really, if I could go to the movies with you, I wouldn't ask you to help me go to the tea party." Out of the phone booth, "But then again , Why did it have to be on May 3rd? Is there something wrong on May 3rd? The next day, May 4th, is the day Holmes and Professor Moriarty fell into the Reichenbach Falls. The 5th is Children's Day in Japan, so you want to take me to buy carp? Uh, no, Shinichi is not celebrating Children's Day."

Conan was thinking wildly, and found a police car stopped beside him, and there were Police Department Megure and Police Officer Shiratori inside, "Police Department Megure, Officer Shiratori, good afternoon, what's the matter?"

Megure police department said: "It's just right, Conan, please inform Mao Li to come over tomorrow."

"Did something happen?" Conan asked excitedly.

"Uh, no." Megure Police Department said, "Just to say something."

It seemed that the police were about to let go, and Conan said, "I see."

"Cough!" Police Officer Shiratori said, "Next time, please call the Police Department of Shiratori, please."

"Yes, Shiratori Police Department," Conan said with a smile, "make up."

"Okay, let's go, go home early." Mumu police department smiled.

"Yes." Conan said. ...

Saturday, April 26, afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.

After Conan came back, he told Maori what the Mugure police department had said, and then found that Yamazaki was not there, so he asked Maori, and learned that the office had opened again. Maori asked Yamazaki to go to the top because he wanted to watch TV. Conan secretly laughed twice, went upstairs and gave the invitation letter to Lan.

In the evening, Yamazaki came back with the camera, "Uncle, I'm lucky this time, so I don't need to waste any more time. I've already sent the photo to be processed. It's urgent, and I can get it tomorrow. Here's the list."

"Good job, hard work." Mao Li smiled, "Great, that guy is waiting for the photo to get divorced, this speed can definitely make him pay double."

Yamazaki looked at the time and said, "It's almost time, I'm going back."...

In the evening, the living room of Maori’s house.

At the dinner table, Conan, who hadn't figured out what day May 4th was, pretended to be casual and asked about it.

"May 4th?" Lan laughed. "That's Shinichi's birthday."

"Birthday?" Conan thought, yes, May 4th is my birthday, and I actually forgot about it.

Lan smiled and said, "I plan to go to the midnight movie on May 3 with him, and give him the red casual shirt I bought at twelve o'clock. This will definitely surprise him."

Maori asked, "Watching a movie? What movie?"

"The legend of the red thread." Lan said enthusiastically, "Don't you know? When a man and woman are destined to be together, a red thread will be tied on their little fingers when they are born. This is the romantic love based on this story. Movie."

Her interest, really, Conan grinned, pure love story, can't stand it.

"By the way," Lan took out an astrology book, "Look at this, the lucky colors of me and Xinyi in May are both red, so I decided to watch this movie."

It's useless for you to decide, Conan said in his heart, it's impossible for us to go to the movies together.

Maori asked, "Wait a minute, you just said you were going to the midnight show, didn't you?"

"Yes." Lan confirmed.

"No, no, I'm absolutely not allowed." Mao Li said eagerly, waving his chopsticks, "Young men and women are kissing and kissing all night in a dim movie theater, what are they talking about?"

Lan took Maori's chopsticks, "It's not like that, please don't talk nonsense, okay. Who told Xinyi to forget his own birthday every year, so I have to remind him every year. Otherwise, wouldn't he just grow up a year in vain?"

"But, here," Molly said, "you're all still in high school."

Lan said: "By the way, Dad, let's go to Mr. Teiji Moritani's back garden tea party. The one who was invited was Shinichi, but he couldn't go there." He gave the invitation letter to Mouri.

Conan said in his heart, it's a good way to change the subject.

Mao Li looked at it and said, "Well, it seems that I was not invited."

"Looking at the meaning above, he seems to be inviting a detective. Dad will definitely welcome him when he goes." Lan said with a smile, "Conan should go too."

Conan immediately said, "Well, I'll go."

Maori said, "However, how could I take the invitation letter to Shinichi?"

"Isn't Mr. Teiji Moritani the famous architect?" Conan said, "This is a historic meeting between a famous detective and a famous architect. It's really exciting."

"A famous detective and a famous architect are historic," Maori said with some pride, "Well, it's true."

Conan smiled in his heart, this person is really fooling. ...

Sunday, April 27, morning, Maori Detective Agency.

After returning from the Metropolitan Police Department, Mori talked about express delivery of explosives, and then said to Yamazaki: "During this time, pay more attention to your side and see if there are any suspicious people."

"Understood." Yamazaki said. ...

In the afternoon, after seeing the client come back, Maori said, "Yamazaki, this is yours." He said that he shared 90% of half of the fee, 90,000 yen, to Yamazaki.

"Father!" Lan snatched a 10,000 yen ticket and stuffed it in Yamazaki's hand.

Maori shyly collected the money in his hands, "Don't wait for me to come back for dinner." Then he went out.

"Really." Lan complained. ...

In the evening, Miyamoto's house.

Not long after Yamazaki came back, Belinda called. After greeting her, she said with a smile: "These guys can't be forced. At first, they wanted me to completely sell the technology mixed with state funds. Now it's all right. I haven't said that I plan to give it to you. It took about a year and a half for the Filler Center to be fully renovated, and they took the initiative to give in.”

"Why is that?" Mei Daizi asked suspiciously, "Because the Feller Center is a landmark of the United States?"

Belinda said: "If they really have this heart, the Feller Center will not be in the hands of the Mitsubishi consortium. You want to leave the Feller Center empty for a year or so, and then use some smelly gas to make it even bigger. Wouldn't it be interesting to not be able to enter people for 100 meters? Although I will lose a lot of money and be fined a lot by the environmental department, it will take a lot of time, and I can afford it. Sorry. They have a lot of employees in the Filler Center. If I force them to move out automatically by bypassing the lease contract, it will cost a lot of money just to rent a new office building. They see Now that the military industry is in a downturn, if you want to buy it at a low price for a medium-term investment, if you lose a sum of money first, it will be difficult to recover the investment."

"I didn't have enough bargaining chips. The problem of unknown background they said did exist. Although they and the higher-ups knew that I had borrowed a lot of funds from Good Mood, ordinary people didn't know it. From a legal point of view, there is no problem, but from a legal point of view. Logically speaking, there is a problem, if I seize this point to guide public opinion, the higher-ups will let me withdraw from some national-level projects, but after being accepted by the higher-ups, the distribution will not be covered by the arms companies in their consortium."

"Furthermore, after this behavior of flipping the bottom card, the relationship becomes the worst. For businessmen, everything is for profit. Obviously, these interests are not enough to make them turn against me for this, not to mention that there is also a relationship between them. Corrupting each other is not of one mind, that's why there is talk of peace negotiations. So now it is also for the sake of interests that there are concessions and compromises."

"So that's the case." Mei Daizi said.

Belinda said: "The initial intention has been finalized. Those arms companies acquired some of the technologies and products of those companies at that time, including the technologies and products that were later derived from research and development that were fully invested by the state. The exchange was to facilitate the gradual expansion of private spaceflight. The scope of opening up the industry. The word "completely" is the reason why we have been unable to agree. There are many technologies that the country has invested but rarely, and some are invested by the country but then cut off the investment and used it. Private funds have been researched. Now the transactions involving these technologies can be negotiated separately. Also, some people want to participate in Sith Bank, Sith Department Store, and Degu Petroleum Company. It is estimated that Sith Family and Xue People from Philon Petroleum talked to them."

"If you want to buy these, you can just participate. But after we list them, the assets of these companies can expand several times after listing, so it's too bad to sell them." Miko Miyamoto said, and then asked, "They What is your intention, and what are your plans?"

Belinda said: "They mainly want the electronic system and production line, as well as the launch vehicle. I am going to take this opportunity to throw away the inherited electronic system and part of the production line except the missile production line, including the launch vehicle. The contracting share of the company will be reduced, and then the company will be integrated to start a new merger, and see if it can enter the ground system by the way.”

"Wren is interested in the original Hugh Aerospace Company. Mainly the missile production line and electronic systems. The missile production line is not."

"Lord Corporation expressed interest in the former Kanger Aerospace Company, the former Martin Etta Materials Company, and the original Diss Company. Mainly aerospace materials, electronic systems, and the Julishen series of launch vehicles."

"Sonic is interested in the former Horsho Helicopter Company, the former McGonagall Aircraft Company, and the former Lore International Company. Mainly helicopter production lines, aircraft production lines, electronic systems, and Delta series launch vehicles. Longbow Helicopters, Anne's name in The production lines of McGonagall 90 and Mag 11 in China will not be given, and other production lines including the McGonagall 17 transport aircraft will be given. Mag 92 and Mag 12 are invested by myself, so of course I won’t give them.”

"A few companies such as Pratt & Whitney were originally interested in the original Lockein rocket company, mainly the Lockein 25 engine, but I showed them the latest, low-cost Lockein 68 engine. Because the rocket company will not make profits for a long time after buying it back, they all gave up. Because of the Locke 68 engine, LORD, Sonic, and Wren are planning to establish a joint launch company with me in the future.”

"Knopp is interested in the stake in Neus Shipyard and the electronic systems of the former Western Industries. The Super Hornet is ready, and I am going to give half of my ownership to Knope, plus these that Knope wants. , jointly establish a joint venture company with it, or hold a part of its shares."

"General Dynamics is interested in Remington Arms' existing products. I would like to use it to purchase General Motors' ground military systems."

"The general electric company expressed interest in the existing products of the Avery Engine Company. I am going to exchange the Avery 50 and it for the GE85."

"That's about it," Belinda asked. "Any comments?"

"Not yet." Miko Miyamoto said.

"That's good," Belinda said with a smile, "I won't disturb your meal."...
