"I think there's something wrong with her."

Conan said cautiously:

"Didn't you notice that she was looking at Subaru Okiya?"

Conan's voice attracted the attention of Miss Miyano and Kid. They all looked back and found that the waitress was indeed a little strange.

The problem is not just her actions, but also her eyes. Admiration is mixed with a hint of... pride?

If the admiration is because of Okiya Subaru's good looks, it can be explained, but the pride must be because of the people related to him.

"Looks like it's time for me to take action."

Kidd said seriously:

"No woman in this world can resist my charm."

"Nonsense, there's one right in front of me."

Conan poured cold water on him mercilessly.

"... Stop talking nonsense, I'll go up and chat with you after the press conference is over!"

Two hours passed in a flash, and after the press conference, the reporters left one after another with satisfied smiles on their faces.

After seeing off the guests, the waitress rubbed her sore shoulders and was about to take a break when suddenly her eyes blurred and a figure blocked her way:

"My beautiful lady, are you free tonight?"

Kidd leaned against the door frame, took the waitress's fair little hand, and said with a smile:

"My name is Nakamori Aoto, and I would like to have dinner with you."

The waitress was stunned, and Okiya Subaru, who was about to leave the stage, was also stunned. The two of them, one in front and one behind, looked at Kidd stupidly, their eyes seemed to say...

You are kidding, kid.

"Wouldn't you like that?"

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Kidd added:

"I know a really good Italian restaurant that serves some killer lasagna."

"OK."

With a turn of her eyes, the waitress readily agreed:

"I don't have any reservations tonight, so let's go eat together."

"It's my pleasure. I'll be waiting for you at this restaurant at 8 o'clock tonight."

Kidd put a business card into her hand.

As an elegant 'gentleman', Kidd is very clear about the etiquette of inviting ladies. He should not push too hard and should give the other party enough space. For example, when inviting a lady to dinner together in the evening, the other party may need to put on makeup, which takes time.

“By the way…”

After walking a distance, Kidd suddenly turned around and remembered something:

"I haven't asked you your name yet..."

"Um... My name is Sakamoto Otome, you can just call me Otome."

The waitress winked at Kid.

"Otome, what a nice name, but I feel like I've heard it somewhere before..."

While recalling, Kid returned to Conan and the others and told them that his invitation was successful.

"Otome Sakamoto?"

After listening to Kidd's narration, Miss Miyano said in surprise:

"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Sakamoto Otome is the sister of Sakamoto Ryoma! The Meiji Restoration hero Sakamoto Ryoma! You can often see him on TV!"

"Depend on!"

After slapping his head, Kidd finally remembered:

"I was wondering why this name sounded so familiar! Is there really someone in the world who dares to call herself Sakamoto Otome? She couldn't be kidding me!"

"Why don't you check it out and find out?"

Osaka Black Chicken suggested:

"Let's go ask the manager if there is a waitress named Sakamoto Otome. We can also check her background while we're at it."

“That’s a good idea.”

Miss Miyano, Kid, and Osaka Kuroneji walked out of the conference hall together. After the press conference was completed, there were still some miscellaneous matters to deal with, so Yasuteru Domon would not leave so quickly. They had enough time to investigate the waitress.

Conan walked at the back, his hand under his chin, looking thoughtful.

Compared to Kidd, he has a deeper impression of the name Sakamoto Otome. The reason is very simple. His mother, Kudo Yukiko, became popular for playing the role of Sakamoto Otome in a TV series. It was through that TV series that Kudo Yusaku got to know Kudo Yukiko....

In other words, the image of Kudo Yukiko has merged with that of Sakamoto Otome. When mentioning Sakamoto Otome, Conan naturally thinks of his own mother.

"It must be an illusion..."

Shaking his head, Conan threw away this unrealistic idea.

............................

A few minutes ago.

"Mr. Okiya?"

After walking down from the podium, Yasuki Domon noticed that there was one person missing. He turned around and saw Subaru Okiya standing there, staring at Kidd, who was talking and laughing with the waitress, and asked in confusion:

"Is there anything strange?"

"No, I haven't."

Okiya Subaru pushed his glasses and looked away:

"Let's go."

Noticing his strange behavior, Sakaki Makoto also set his sights on the waitress. When he saw that it was Kid who approached him...

Suddenly I understood.

It is estimated that Conan and his friends have made some new discoveries, and it is not difficult to tell from Okiya Subaru's reaction...

Right in the heart.

Back in the lounge, as soon as everyone sat down, the secretary came in with a cell phone and said excitedly:

"Mr. Domon! Good news! Your approval rating is starting to rise!"

"Oh? So soon?"

Yasuteru Domon took the phone in surprise, and the real-time updated support rate on it did not continue to decline, but instead increased by 1%.

This is excellent news. His approval rating has been declining since the past few days, with no sign of recovery. Now, after the press conference, the people seem to have realized who can lead them to a better life, so they voted for Yasuteru Domon.

Just when Yasuki Domon was about to share his joy with Makoto Sakaki and Subaru Okiya, the cell phones of Makoto Sakaki and Subaru Okiya rang at the same time.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to different corners and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Boss?"

Makoto Sakaki vaguely knew the reason why Gin contacted him. After watching the press conference, it was estimated that no one could sit still.

"Who is that squinty-eyed person who appeared next to Domon Yasuteru?"

Gin's voice was gloomy, and he got straight to the point:

"Did he help write Domon Yasuteru's speech?"

"yes."

Sakaki Makoto looked back at Okiya Subaru who was also standing in the corner, and answered truthfully:

"He was introduced by Domon Yasuhiro's father-in-law. I checked his information. Although there is nothing wrong with him on the surface, I always feel that he was sent by the FBI."

"Oh...."

Gin sneered:

"The people who came forward to help Domon Yasuhiru at this critical moment are 100% from the FBI! They really are not that honest... If nothing unexpected happens, Senzu Junji's defeat is a foregone conclusion. We have to take the final measure."

The ultimate means, naturally, is assassination. Seeing that they could not stop Yasuteru Domon from running for parliament, the Black Organization had no choice but to kill him to eliminate future trouble.

"Understood, do you need me to do it?"

After a long silence, Sakaki Makoto said:

"I had plenty of opportunities to strike."

"No need. The possibility of you being exposed is too high. The organization needs to implement a perfect plan. You should come to the institute tomorrow morning."

"receive."
