Conan: Developing business in Kexue World

Chapter 172 - A Moment of Life and Death - President is a Dangerous Profession

A little earlier, in the dark corridor dedicated to relations, a group of four walked and chatted.

"What, President, you don't want to attend today's reception?" A fat cadre asked with concern.

Walking in the front of the crowd was President Taiji Tatsuya, who said, "I suddenly feel uncomfortable, so you can tell everyone for me, I hope everyone can do their best for the company in the future."

A group of people turned a corner and walked to the elevator room. President Chen Ji pressed the elevator button and asked, "Why is this elevator room so dark today?"

At this time, a tall figure in the crowd hurriedly came out to explain, his name was Wu Dachang.

Satoru Oba was a little short, and whispered in his ear to President Tatsuya, "President, I specially asked someone to dim the lights for 'that' performance."

"Oh, that's it." President Chenji was relieved, when the elevator room opened, he walked in and said, "Okay, I'll leave the matter to you."

"Thank you for your hard work, President." The remaining three people bowed and said goodbye one after another.

Afterwards, a girl came late, and was a little surprised when she saw the remaining people, and asked, "Excuse me, where is the venue for today's reception?"

"Oh, it's the eldest lady. The venue is the Italian restaurant inside." A middle-aged cadre said.

The girl is the daughter of President Chen Ye, Chen Ye Yingzi.She has short hair with half exposed ears, the right ear is covered by the hair, and the left ear is exposed. Under the dim light, the earring on the right ear still has a glimmer of light.Wearing a wine red dress.

"Really." She turned her head and saw Satoru Oba, and happily came to him, "Mr. Oba."

Oba Satoru said to the other two cadres: "Excuse me, I will accompany Missy to greet everyone first."

The remaining two were savvy and left.

Before leaving, the middle-aged cadre said: "I think the reception is about to start, so don't be late."

"Okay." Oba Satoru replied.

Sakurako Tatsuya peeked around the corner, confirmed that the two had left, then put on a smile and said softly, "Mr. Oba."

But she didn't notice that Satoru Ohba took the opportunity to pull out something from his bosom.

Oba Satoru looked at his watch and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so slow? Didn't we agree to meet here before 8:[-]?"

Chenji Yingzi hurriedly clasped his hands together, closed one eye, and begged for mercy: "Sorry, I took a little longer to tidy up."

"Don't talk about that for now." Cherry Chen threw herself into Wu Dachang's arms and asked, "Did you mention our matter to my father?"

"Of course." Oba Satoru said happily. "I thought he would object. Who knew that he agreed immediately, and said that he was very relieved to hand over his daughter to someone as motivated as me."

"Then we can be together."

"Yes. Do you have any rewards for my courage?"

Ohba Satoru hugged Sakura Tatsumi, with his back to the elevator door, the thing in his right hand poked the elevator button, but he said something irrelevant in his mouth, "Honestly speaking, I would be willing to have your kiss. "

The two immediately kissed each other, and Yingzi Chen was completely immersed in the breath of love, and she didn't notice that the elevator door opened behind her.

And Oba Satoru also raised the pistol with the silencer in his right hand, and the president Tatsuya in the elevator was startled by this scene and lost his voice.

Before he could shout, Satoru Ohba had already pulled the trigger.

puff~
The silenced pistol was fired, and at the same time, the people at the reception just fired the celebratory hand cannon, and the sound was perfectly covered up.

The elevator door closed, and Satoru Ohba let go of Sakura Tatsuya.

I heard that there was a husband's former criminal, but Dachang Wu had a father's former criminal, and after the incident, a murderer came to kill his father, which is really ruthless.

Chen Ji Yingzi didn't know at all that her father was killed in the elevator next door, and she was still concerned about the reception.

"The reception seems to have already begun."

Oba Satoru glanced at his watch and said, "Sure enough, it's on time. It starts as soon as 8:[-] arrives."

"Before we go back to the reception." Oba Satoru took out a gift with his left hand and said, "Look, I'll give you a gift first."

Chen Ye Yingzi took it in surprise, "What is it?"

Ohba Satoru raised his left hand, stroking the pearl next to Tatsuya Sakurako's left ear, "A pink pearl necklace that fits perfectly with your earrings."

"Thank you."

Ohba Satoru looked at her condescendingly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "What is this little gift? You forgot, today is a memorable day when we are sure that we can be united."

Chen Ji Yingzi did not hear anything unusual.

Afterwards, the two went back to the reception.

After a while, someone found Mr. President who was killed.

After a while, police officer Meguro led a team to the scene.Shinichi also came to the scene to investigate.

The police put up a cordon to prevent unrelated people who joined in the fun from approaching.

Officer Meguro asked, "Who is this deceased?"

Takagi replied: "Yes, his name is Tatsuya Taiji, he is 58 years old, and he is said to be the president of an amusement equipment company."

Takagi turned his gaze to the side, "Those three people found the body. They are all employees of this company. They originally wanted to take this elevator and go back to the company to get some forgotten things, so they found the body."

"Forgot something?"

"According to what they said, today this restaurant held a reception for the company's 20th anniversary. The thing they forgot was the bouquet for the party. Their company is distributed from the 24th to the 36th floor, 13 floors. As for this elevator, it is the company's A dedicated elevator. They said that the president is not feeling well today, and they said that after going to the company, they will go back to rest first."

In the elevator, President Chen Ji was shot in the head, still maintaining the shocked expression before his death.The suit jacket is open, the tie is pulled down, and the shirt is opened to the second button.With his back against the elevator, he slid on the elevator floor, with a long bloodstain trailing on the elevator wall behind him.

Police officer Mu Mu looked at the deceased, frowned and thought: "His clothes are so messy, the murderer's goal should be money?"

Officer Megure thought of something, and asked Takagi: "Hey, has a similar case happened here before?"

"Eh?"

Mu Mu held his chin, thinking: "Yes, I remember that time, when I was a rookie policeman, there was a strange young man who kept muttering."

Takagi blushed, "Officer, I was still in elementary school at that time."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. In my opinion, the gangsters didn't commit crimes for money." A young man interrupted suddenly.

"Yes, yes, it's like this." Officer Megure pointed to the young man who spoke just now, and said that it was like this at that time.

"Hey, Brother Kudo!!" Police Officer Megure and Takagi were very surprised that they saw Kudo Shinichi again in such a short period of time, and they often didn't see anyone in the past few months.

Xindao: "If the gangster threatens with a gun for the purpose of looting money, he should take his prey to a sparsely populated place, because after killing a person, he wants to search for the money on the victim. An elevator with people in it is arguably the worst option."

Shinichi pointed to the dead man's wrist again, "Besides, if the gangster wants money, he doesn't need to loosen the collar of his shirt. In addition, the unbuttoned collar and the pulled down tie all show that the deceased should I untied it myself to relax my body. Right, Officer Megure?"

"Brother Kudo!" Officer Megure was very happy.

"Shh! Don't say my name, okay?"

"It's the same set again." Police officer Mumu complained with squinting eyes.

Takagi asked: "No, why are you here?"

Xindao: "I invited Xiaolan to this place for dinner."

Mu Mu blushed: "My God, two high school students actually came to this kind of place to eat."

Xinyi blushed, "Actually, we chose this place for a special reason."

"Dad, Dad, Dad~" Chen Ji Yingzi rushed over anxiously after hearing the news.

Gao Mu hurriedly stopped him.

Chenji Yingzi finally saw the situation in the elevator, broke down and cried, "Oh my God, why? Why is it Dad?"

President Chen Yi's three senior cadres also came to the scene.

The middle-aged cadre was incredible, "When we broke up here just now, he was still alive and well."

Mu Mu asked: "So, you are the one who saw President Chen already last?"

The fat cadre replied: "Just now the president boarded the elevator and said goodbye to him. It was indeed the three of us."

The middle-aged cadre said: "Not long after that, the eldest lady also arrived." Then he looked at Wu Dachang.

Oba Satoru explained: "The two of us, after discussing the congratulatory speech here, we went to the reception venue."

Mu Mu asked: "During this period, has anyone ever taken this elevator?"

Ohba Satoru: "No one."

Mu Mu: "Do you know what time it is?"

Oba Satoru: "This..."

"It's 8:8!" Cherry Chen stopped crying, raised her head and said, "I heard the paper firecrackers going off at the reception, and the hour hand was pointing in the direction of [-] o'clock. It was absolutely unmistakable."

Shinichi raised his head slightly and looked at Chenji Yingzi.

Takagi asked a question: "But, I see that you are not wearing a watch?"

Chenji Yingzi said: "I happened to see the numbers on Mr. Oba's watch, and he just reached out to touch my earrings."

Mu Mu asked: "Touch your earring?"

Chenji Yingzi said: "He gave me a gift here, saying it was that necklace, which just matched my earrings as a complete set. Who knows... woo~"

Chenji Yingzi burst into tears again.

"Miss~" Oba Satoru hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, pretending to be a nice gentleman.

The middle-aged cadre will say: "Then, we have to convey this unfortunate news to the staff currently in the venue." Say goodbye.

Mu Mu nodded, and the two cadres left.

"Come on, miss, let's go too." Ohba Satoru pushed the crying Tatsuya Sakura away.

"Officer Takagi, what they said just now is not quite right." The new pair of Takagi whispered.
