38. Haruyuki Fuji
On the stage, Mio Toba continued: "However, if two people guess, they will decide based on rock-scissors. The loser will have to just sit and ride this off-road mountain bike with a hard helmet."
Everyone in the venue smiled knowingly.
"That's great, Mitsuhiko!" Yuanta slapped his friend.
"That's right, we don't have to be afraid of Arimi anyway." Mitsuhiko couldn't hide her excitement.
Because Arimi is best at guessing time and never makes any mistakes, these two kids have completely regarded the sports car as their pocket.
Ai Mei, who was expected by them, was not thinking about adding new equipment to the team at this moment, but was looking around and looking for Conan's figure.
At the same time, Mio Toba smiled and said, "Next, those who want to participate in the game, please send your watch first. We will give you an equivalent gem according to the value of your watches later."
"She is talking about gems?" Ran Maori said in surprise.
"Huh?" Yuanzi held her chin and pondered: "Changpan Group is really a big deal."
When Yuanta and the other two were excited to participate, they saw Conan and Ai Haibara standing there.
"Conan, don't you play?" Mitsuhiko asked.
"No, you can join." Conan chuckled.
Azumi looked at the two who were standing together and were very right, and could not hide her loss for a moment.
"Don't you participate?" Haibara Ai looked up at Chen Xing.
"I don't bring a watch." He lit up his smooth wrist.
"Old and old." Haibara Ai teased.
The people who placed the watches all sent a small flag. Mio Tobata said the rules, "After Secretary Zekou said that it was started, please raise the flag when you count to 30 seconds."
"Okay, come on!" Kogoro Mouri was eager to try.
Chen Xing joked: "If you are an uncle in sleepy mode, you might have a chance."
"I'll surprise you later." Kogoro Mouri hugged his arm and was full of confidence.
Secretary Zekou pinched his stopwatch and shouted: "Prepare, start!"
After the words came, the people participating in the audience began to count silently. For a moment, the quiet scene rustled and muttered to themselves.
"25,26,27..." Kogoro Mouri closed his eyes and looked serious.
This was the first time that Chen Xing saw him so serious, which was much more focused than when solving a case.
At this moment, a child in the arms of a woman beside them was naughty and slapped the detective on the back of the head.
Kogoro Mouri was startled and opened his eyes suddenly, looking dull.
Of course he wouldn't bother with a child, but he looked depressed, "Oh no, I forgot where I just counted."
"It seems to be 27." Chen Xing whispered.
"I'm fine." Dr. Agasa raised the flag.
Soon, people raised flags one after another.
Kogoro Mouri looked nervous, wanted to raise the flag but hesitated. It happened that the troublemaker who accidentally slapped him before was blamed by the woman for a few words, and suddenly cried.
The detective relaxed his tense heart, subconsciously raised the flag and shouted "Okay".
The next second, Mio Toba on the stage reached out and signaled, "That guest holding the blue flag, congratulations, you are the lucky ones, please come up to the front."
Kogoro Mouri pointed at himself in disbelief, as if confirming.
"Really or not?" Conan felt unbelievable than him.
"It's my dad!" Ran Maori said happily.
Chen Xing blinked. Although he didn't participate in this game, he was counting in his heart just now. Is it really exactly 30 seconds?
"Look at it." Kogoro Mori grabbed his shoulder and shook it excitedly, "I said it will surprise you, boy, you will learn it in the future!"
"Uncle is amazing." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Hmph." Kogoro Mouri proudly tidied up his tie, coughed low, and went upstairs with his head raised.
"So it's Senior Maori, please come here." Mio Tobata chuckled.
Kogoro Mouri scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and looked a little shy when standing on the stage.
"Everyone, the winner is the famous detective Kogoro Mouri. Let's ask him to say a few words." Mio Tobaya turned the microphone towards him.
Kogoro Mouri smiled silly, "I can finally say goodbye to my car rental career."
There was a burst of kind laughter from the audience.
"What a pity." Mitsuhiko sighed.
"Yes, I've only counted to 25 seconds." Ayumi was also a little depressed.
"I've only counted to 12 seconds." Yuan Tai's mouth twitched.
Mitsuhiko looked at him speechlessly, are you so different?
After a while, the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed, and then a spotlight fell on the male host on the stage.
"Everyone, what I want to introduce next is the work of Yuefengshui, a master of national treasure in my country."
Paintings of Mount Fuji flashed on the screen, and it was obvious that the male host had put in some effort before. When he explained it, he was very knowledgeable and almost every painting was described as a treasure in the world.
"Mr. Ruyue likes Mount Fuji in particular. He spent more than 30 years depicting the majestic posture of Mount Fuji. This time, in order to celebrate the completion of the Twin Towers Skyscraper of his student Mio Tobata, he specially presented a new work of him. Let me introduce it to you..."
The host coughed lightly and said passionately: "Spring snowy Mount Fuji!"
The curtain slowly opened, the lights gathered, and the eyes of everyone present looked at it, and then they saw the hazy painting of Mount Fuji and the figure hanging on the painting.
This scene undoubtedly shocked everyone, and there was a riot in the venue, and the timids couldn't help but scream.
"Damn it!" Kogoro Mouri didn't think much at all and rushed over first.
"Put it down, put Miss Mio down." He shouted to Secretary Zeguchi: "And the curtains should be pulled up!"
"Yes!" Secretary Zekou responded subconsciously and was completely frightened.
After Kogoro Mori hugged Mio Tobata, he reached out to the side of his neck and clenched his fists tightly.
"No," he said sadly.
Chen Xing looked down at Changban Miho's neck, which had clear marks on it. It was a pearl necklace with piano threads. The piano threads were entangled with the painting hanging in the air, so the whole person would be hung there.
"That's..." He paused.
A small wine glass quietly clasped at Mio Tobashi's feet, but this time it was not divided into two or broken, but intact.
...
Police Officer Megu and others rushed to the scene quickly because of the previous murder case.
After the police blocked the scene, they began to direct the painting hanging in the air.
Kogoro Mori held the pearl necklace of Mio Tobata in his hand and said in a deep voice: "In other words, the necklace worn by Mio was hooked by a hooked piano thread. When the piano thread that was passing through the rear was lowered, Mio was pulled up to it."
Chen Xing stood beside him and could clearly see that in addition to sadness, his expression was more serious and angry.
And that's true. Kogoro Mouri was extremely angry at this time, but he still had to force himself to calm down.
In addition to Mio Tobashi being his schoolmate, he also gave him the respect and attention he rarely felt.
