Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 159 There is only one truth

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to take the time to participate in the opening ceremony of the Tokiwa Foundation's twin-tower skyscrapers. Thank you very much."

Just as the day was getting dark, Mio Tokiwa, wearing a black evening gown, walked to the stage in the hall. She held the microphone and thanked everyone generously.

"Here, as a sideshow, we want to play a small game with you." Tokiwa Mio pointed to Miss Sawaguchi below the stage, signaling everyone to pay attention to the stopwatch in her hand.

"This game came from my father, Tokiwa Kanari, and because the Tokiwa Foundation has been established for 30 years, we thought of playing a 30-second guessing game."

"Hey... guess 30 seconds..."

Putting his hands in his pockets, Yuji looked at Yuzuki and Kaori beside him while holding the coffee: "Do you want to play?"

"But Ms. Tokiwa said that we need to provide a watch." Yuzuki showed her wrist and looked at Kaori again: "Neither Kaori nor I are wearing watches."

"What's the matter?" Yuji took off his watch, put it on Yuzuki's hand, and took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Kaori.

"Yuji-san, what is this?"

Kaori took the box, but the girl didn't open it until Yuji answered her question.

"Before leaving the house, a courier just arrived." The young man stretched his waist, "It's a peripheral watch from the animation club. I just put it in my pocket."

Kaori nodded, she gently unlocked the watch box, looked at the brand-name watch co-branded with Edogawa III inside, and put it on her hand.

"Okay, let's play, I'll go find Conan!"

After waving his hand, Yuji bent over and stared at the elementary school student who was rubbing his head mischievously.

"Kudou-san, I really like Conan..."

"Yes…"

.........

"Oh, great detective!"

Yuji flicked Conan's forehead: "Why didn't you stick to Sister Xiaolan's side?"

"What a shame!" Conan put his hands in his pockets and looked at the crowd over there who had started playing games.

"Uncle is also participating." Yuji picked up a biscuit and said, "Ah, uncle is confused."

Just when the two of them thought that Uncle Mouri was definitely losing, as he raised his hand and Miss Sawaguchi shouted, Kogoro Mouri became the winner of the game.

"Hey, didn't Kaori-san and Usami-san participate in the game?" The boy looked at the girls standing there and pulled Conan towards the stage.

"We are very poor at heart, so we don't plan to participate." Yuzuki touched the watch on her wrist and looked at Kaori who made the same move as her.

"Excuse me, where is the toilet?"

A mother holding her child walked up to the girls. After the girls pointed out the direction to her, she and an old woman left the hall.

Below the stage, Yuji looked at Uncle Maori, who was invited to the stage to give a speech, and smacked his lips.

Rather than owning your own car, uncle is really more suitable for renting a car...

"Oh, what a blessing! I can finally get out of the rental car business!"

The phone rang from his pocket, and under Conan's suspicious eyes, Yuuji looked at the text message from Miss Chris, and his expression was a little strange.

[Gin went to the Twin Towers skyscraper. 】

Why?Even though Miyano Shiho was not exposed this time, the organization still wanted to blow up the building?
Yuji suddenly remembered Yuan Jiaming's identity and the doubts Conan recorded in his notebook.

【Yuan Jiaming's computer was emptied】

Gin suspected that he hid important information in the central computer of the Tokiwa Consortium!That's why the bomb was installed in the twin-tower skyscraper. From the very beginning, the bombing of the building had nothing to do with Hui Yuanai.

Yuji put away his phone and walked to the back of the stage.

At this time, Mio Tokiwa can only dissolve the banquet, lest people here cannot escape.

The anxious Yuji didn't notice Conan following him. He walked through the curtain of the banquet and walked backstage.

In front of the banquet, the lights in the hall were suddenly turned off, leaving only a white light on the stage, and the host replaced by Mio Tokiwa held the microphone.

"Everyone, please allow me to introduce the important guest of this banquet, the master of Japanese painting who is a national treasure of our country, the picture of Mount Fuji drawn by Mr. Tsukimine Mizu for the opening ceremony of this building!"

.........

Yuji heard Tokiwa Mio walking down the stairs after finishing her speech. Just as he was about to step forward, he realized that Kisaragi Hosui seemed to have something to say to her.

The young man hesitated for a moment, planning to wait until the master and apprentice had finished speaking before asking Mio Tokiwa to dissolve the banquet.

But when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of Ruyuefengshui who unwrapped Mio Tokiwa's necklace from the corner of his eyes, and he stopped in his tracks, approaching the two of them gently.

"Ah, my necklace fell off."

Just as Mio Tokiwa was about to bend down, he was interrupted by Kisaragi Hosui. He patted his disciple on the shoulder and said in a very kind tone: "Okay, I'll help you."

The old man pretended to bend down and took out an identical necklace from his pocket. He grabbed the cable of the computer screen hanging from the back, hung the rope on the necklace, and wanted to wear it around Mio Shiba's neck.

"Mr. Kisaragi, what do you want to do?"

The question came from the right. The two looked at the two white lights in the darkness and jumped closer to them. When they were not far away, they discovered that it was a young man wearing glasses.

Mio Tokiwa saw the same necklace on the ground and in the teacher's hand behind her. She walked away and asked Miss Sawaguchi to turn on the lights backstage.

Yuji squinted his eyes, turned off the light-up button of his glasses, and then took them off: "You were the one who killed Representative Ohgi before, right?"

Seeing the exposure, Ru Yuefengshui stared at Tokiwa Mio silently, with indescribable hatred in his eyes.

Now that things have happened, Miss Tokiwa also understands what Yuji means.Just now, she almost died.

"Teacher, what did I do, you are so..." Tokiwa Mio took a few steps back, leaning against the wall and trembling.

"What did you do, don't you know!"

Ruyue Fengshui picked up the mop soaked in the bucket on one side, looked at the picture of Mount Fuji hanging on the back, and wiped hard in the middle to separate the picture from the middle.

"That's how it is. It's because the Tokiwa Consortium built a skyscraper with twin towers, so that your home, which could have been able to see the situation, can only see the split Mount Fuji."

Conan walked out from behind Yuji and looked up at Kisaragi Fengshui over there.

The curtain in front of the stage rose upwards, and what was revealed in front of the guests was not the picture of Mount Fuji mentioned by the host, but Yuji, Conan and Kisaragi Hosui looking at each other.

Yuji glanced at the audience, walked to the stage and snatched the microphone from the host.

"You hated Oki Iwamatsu who revised the laws and regulations, and Mio Tokiwa who built the Twin Towers skyscraper, so you killed him. The broken wine glass probably refers to the divided Mount Fuji."

While moving his footsteps, the boy quietly kicked Conan back where no one could see him.

"If I'm not wrong, you should still have an intact wine glass on your body at this moment, right. Just plead guilty and obey the law. Mr. Ruyue, you can't escape because..."

Yuji stretched out his hand, pointed at Kizuki Peak Water with wide eyes.

"there is only one truth!"
