Chapter 89 Crossing the Dust (4)
The breath of organization.
As soon as she entered the venue, she felt the aura that disgusted and scared her.
The people from the organization were among the group of people in front of her.
Although he had known this for a long time and had prepared himself mentally, Haiyuan Ai still couldn't help but become afraid.
The dream scene came to mind again.
"What's wrong, little sister?" The waiter at the entrance noticed that she was frozen in place. "Did you get separated from your parents?"
She leaned forward and her voice was gentle, but it still startled Hui Yuan Ai.
"Um…"
Subconsciously turning his head to look at the waiter, Huiyuan Ai replied quietly.
"Yes, we are looking for you." Fengyuan came to the rescue and took Haiyuan Ai's hand to leave, "Let's go, Mei Yi."
The venue was full of famous people, either top movie stars or wealthy investors.
For them, the memorial service was not only an occasion for reminiscing, but also an occasion for them to socialize, so no one paid attention to the two seemingly ordinary children.
"...Who is Mei Yi?" Hui Yuan Ai couldn't help but ask after being led to the corner. She didn't wear a mask because she thought it looked too strange and might attract attention.
"It's just a random name, don't worry about it. Is this place also in your nightmare?"
"...No." Hui Yuan Ai replied, then hesitated, "I was discovered by them in my dream, but you were not there..."
That’s how it turns out…
No wonder her first reaction after seeing the snow today was to look at herself.
The protagonist happens to be absent on a crucial occasion, and then the supporting character encounters a huge life-and-death crisis...
Quite a clichéd plot.
I just don’t know if I am the protagonist or a supporting character.
"I will not miss such an important occasion."
Maplehara said seriously, and then prepared to contact Conan.
Hui Yuan Ai was silent for a moment.
She didn't actually mean it.
In her dream, Kudo, who is standing next to her now, was probably not there from the beginning. Maybe it was because Kudo Shinichi did not become two people after taking the medicine...
In that blurred dream, my sister probably wasn't saved either. She encountered Gin, first Edogawa was shot and killed, and then she was annoyed and miserable...
"Haiyuan?"
The voice was very soft, but it still interrupted Haiyuan Ai's thoughts. She raised her head and looked at Fengyuan.
"Don't worry," Fengyuan comforted, "I will always be here."
"…Um."
"I've already been on the phone with Conan."
"Conan believes that the target is the man currently surrounded by reporters at the entrance. The politician who made news for accepting bribes is Yankou Shigeyan."
"He's probably going to be arrested by the police tomorrow, so these guys are going to finish him off here and shut him up."
"Conan is on the other side now, but he plans to separate from us," Maplehara continued, "He has already called the police."
While he was talking, the familiar Memu Police Department opened the door of the venue and walked in. He stood next to Congressman Tunkou who was surrounded by reporters and whispered a few words to him.
Naturally, the purpose of calling the police was to make it more difficult for Pisco to assassinate Congressman Tunkou, and also to control dangerous elements like Pisco as soon as possible.
Haihara Ai hummed slightly to show that he heard it. Compared with just now, she no longer shivered, and seemed to be barely used to the intensity of the atmosphere of the organization members present.
However, she seemed to be worried, and Fengyuan didn't know if she heard what she just said.
"Dear guests," at this moment, the emcee at the scene took a microphone and spoke to everyone, "let us now enjoy the slides that Director Shimonaki has collected before."
This was obviously part of a memorial service, and in order to match the slide show, the lights were turned off. Only the front projector emitted light and the slides were displayed on the front screen.
Most areas of the scene were also plunged into darkness.
Maple Plains is no exception. The moment the lights were turned off, he felt his wrist being held tightly by Haiyuan Ai.
After thinking for a moment, Fengyuan made no move.
He was not interested in saving Councilor Tunkou, a politician who had connections with the organization. The most critical thing is that he doesn't have enough time and a suitable entry point to save him.
Going recklessly to save Councilor Tunkou would not only make him look like a prophet, but would also put himself and Huihara Ai in danger.
He couldn't afford this outcome.
So even though he had some impressions of what was happening and what was about to happen, he still chose to stay with Haihara Ai.
The slide show continued.
"Dear guests, does anyone know when this film was made by Director Shigemaki..."
The emcee's voice and slides attracted the attention of everyone present, and Feng Principle looked at the crowd.
Just as the emcee finished speaking, a flash of light caught the emcee's attention.
Then Fengyuan heard the gunshot with a silencer hidden under the voice of the emcee.
Next came the sound of metal hitting and chains breaking.
Then there was the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground and the sound of glass breaking.
The crystal lamp in the middle suddenly fell down.
And directly below it, at the dining table with food, Councilor Tunkou stood there. He was smashed and killed on the spot.
The scene suddenly became noisy.
Something seemed to have happened, and the staff responsible for on-site arrangements quickly turned on other lights. Noticing the scene in front of me, the noise at the scene was getting louder.
"Everyone, please be quiet! I am the head of the Metropolitan Police Department!" The Eyepiece Police Department took out his ID and showed it, and at the same time commanded the scene, "Please stay where you are and don't move!"
"How is it?" After saying that, the Megure Police Department looked at Officer Takagi who was checking on the situation of Councilor Tunkou.
"No, I'm out of breath."
"You guys got here pretty quickly." said a man next to him. He is the owner of a professional baseball team, Sanbo Yasuo.
"Because someone reported that there will be a murder here tonight." The Memu Police Department looked back at him, "It is said that someone is going to kill Councilor Tunkou here."
"Oh I got it."
"When the chandelier fell, were you the ones closest to Councilor Tunkou?" Megure Police Department asked the people nearby, "Were there anyone acting suspiciously at that time?"
"That's not true, but I was almost affected," university professor Tato Yoshiharu replied, showing the clothes on his left chest to the Megure Police Department, "Look, my shirt is scratched."
"She also said she didn't see anyone suspicious." The police officer responsible for questioning foreign actor Chrissy Wynyard reported the results of the interview to the Megure Police Department.
"It was an accident," said music producer Tarumi Naoya who spoke. "The crystal lamp fell off due to an old chain, and Senator Tunkou happened to be underneath."
"But, didn't someone report that there would be a murder? How do you say that?" Kenzo Masayama, the president of an automobile company, asked, "Before investigating us, we should first find out who the reporter is, right?"
"The messenger's voice has been changed with a voice changer, and it's impossible to tell whether it's a man or a woman..."
"Someone must be playing a prank. Councilor Tunkou is involved in a case, which has caused a lot of resentment..."
"That's it, it's just a prank that happened to run into this accident," Sanpin Yasuo said while eating a plate of fried rice he just got near the body, "So if you don't do bad things, there will be retribution -"
Click.
"Bah, bah." Sanpin Yasuo seemed to have eaten some foreign object. He quickly spit the foreign object on the ground, and then shouted loudly for the chef to come over.
Under Feng Yuan's gaze, a small hand holding a napkin poked out from under the tablecloth of the table next to it, and picked up the foreign object that happened to fall nearby.
No wonder I didn't see this guy Conan just now.
Feng Yuan thought to himself.
"Edogawa?" Haibara Ai asked in a low voice. She didn't notice what was going on there, but she noticed that Feng Yuan was looking over there.
"Um."
"Don't you go and take a look?"
As long as the case is solved, Pisco can be found to take action.
"No," Maplehara said after glancing at the foreign actress who had just been questioned by the police. "They might be over there. It would be too dangerous for you to go there. Besides, there is no need to go there."
