Chapter 17611768 [Award Ceremony Begins]
Gin thought about it for a moment, and finally decided to pretend that he didn't notice it and said nothing.
If it was someone else, he might still intervene, but this time, Councilman Takata, who was targeted by Uzo, happened to be the target of the organization, and even if he died, it would not affect the organization's plan.
What's more, Wuzo has been preparing carefully for so long. Even if he is forbidden to kill people at this time, can he really be prevented from succeeding?
Rather than letting him knowingly commit a crime, it is better to pretend that everything was an accident. As for the unlucky guy who also wanted to assassinate the congressman... the organization members are so secretive that it is normal for Uzo to accidentally hurt one or two of his colleagues because he could not recognize them.
…
On the other hand, someone was also working hard on this banquet.
Curacao originally planned to take action against the congressman in the next few days, but unexpectedly there was a plane malfunction and a sudden commendation meeting interrupted it.
Therefore, according to the above requirements, the assassination was postponed until after the commendation meeting was over and Wu Zuo left, in order to avoid the situation where Wu Zuo, the detective, would arrest the assassin for the sake of justice, or the assassin would escape and damage Jiang Xia's reputation as a detective.
But it couldn't be delayed too long. The commendation meeting was the end of Jiang Xia's live broadcast, but it was just the beginning of his propaganda activities for the congressman. According to Rum's request, it would be best to kill the congressman that night and not let him see the sun tomorrow.
"It's not difficult to kidnap the congressman. The only problem is that I have to take a risk and show up in the banquet hall."
Curacao thought for a moment and decided to act according to the plan: "The banquet hall is in full view of everyone. It is impossible for Uzo to contact me in person, let alone act rashly. Besides, it may not be a bad thing to contact him at this time.
"Anyway, once this mission is over, I will immediately stay away from Uzo and cut off all contact with him. His assassination methods require a certain amount of time to prepare, and judging from the situations of Ireland and Bourbon, as long as one is skilled enough and alert, Uzo's killing moves are not all killing moves. Rather, they are more like some small games where death is used as a means of punishment..."
As the sky darkened and the recognition ceremony approached, Curacao began slapping disguises on his face.
As she was taking the photos, she couldn't help but sigh. She didn't know why she sighed. It might be because the lesson learned in Ireland was too tragic: "..." I hope everything goes well.
…
At night, the magnificent hall lights up to welcome the distinguished guests.
Jiang Xia was also among the guests.
Although he came, he certainly didn't come alone. As usual, he brought his three good classmates with him.
Suzuki Sonoko was not very interested in this kind of banquet attended only by old men, but fortunately the meals prepared this time were quite good. She walked around and brought back a plate of delicious food. She was eating it casually when she suddenly noticed that Mouri Ran seemed a little restless next to her.
Suzuki Sonoko wiped her mouth and looked at her in confusion: What's wrong?
Mao Lilan touched the autograph book in her arms, and then looked at the guests attending the dinner: "There must be a lot of big names here, but unfortunately there are very few public figures, and they all look too serious. I am embarrassed to go over and ask for autographs."
Jiang Xia thought she should be bolder: "Although there are not many public figures, there are still some. It's rare to meet one, and it would be a shame not to collect their signatures - I don't think they would mind."
For many people in the hall at this time, the banquet was not a pleasure, but more like work and socializing. They must be feeling bored at this moment, and a cute high school girl fan suddenly appeared next to them at this time, which was more interesting than talking to old men and women of the same age.
Mao Lilan was moved by what he said. She turned her eyes slightly and began to look for a suitable target in the hall.
But before they could find it, someone came towards them.
A young woman in formal attire came to their table and smiled at Jiang Xia: "Hello, are you Jiang Xia? My name is Sachiko Tanaka, and I often watch your show these days. Those cases are very exciting."
Before Jiang Xia could reply, someone in the distance who was paying close attention to the place twitched his ears.
Curacao couldn't help but glance over here: "..." The case is very exciting? Although I know that this woman wants to praise Jiang Xia for solving the case quickly, this statement is almost as if she knows who is the leader of those cases...
However, after a quick glance, Curacao found that except for himself, who knew the inside story, no one seemed to think in this direction.
Even the pretty young person who was trying to talk to her didn't realize that her choice of words was a bit subtle. She continued to say to Jiang Xia, "Can I take up a moment of your time?"
Jiang Xia was always easy to talk to in this regard. He put down the fork in his hand and said, "Of course."
Sachiko Tanaka smiled and raised her hand to signal him to go to the other side.
As they walked towards the destination, they heard Sachiko Tanaka introduce herself: "I am the secretary of Mr. Seiji Ishimoto. Mr. Ishimoto is the president of Ishimoto Seiki. Actually, we have recently been interested in developing in the aviation field, so we were also invited to attend this banquet."
Conan thought of the various cameras surrounding Jiang Xia recently and was silent for a moment: "You guys are not going to ask Jiang Xia to shoot a commercial, are you?"
Although Jiang Xia is indeed closely related to "airplanes" recently, to be precise, he is related to "plane crashes"... Isn't this president afraid of bringing bad luck by doing this?
The female secretary smiled and said, "That's a great suggestion. However, this time we're not discussing advertising. We have something else that we would like to entrust to Mr. Jiang Xia."
Curacao was smiling and chatting with the customer in front of him, while listening to the noise here at the same time.
As I listened, I felt the sounds getting closer.
Her eyes moved slightly and looked towards the reflective wine cabinet in front of her, and then she happened to meet a pair of eyes in the wine cabinet - Wu Zo was actually looking at her through the reflection!
“…”
There was no change on Curacao's face, but his body tensed up silently.
…
Just a glance, the sweet aloe vera juice came out. Jiang Xia was in a good mood, took a drink from the tray of a waiter passing by, and drank it slowly with the aroma of aloe vera.
Then he retracted his gaze and looked at the middle-aged man opposite him: "Hello."
President Ishimoto, who asked his secretary to find Jiang Xia, looked to be around fifty years old. He had a resolute face that had been through many hardships, and a huge beer belly that was as bulging as if he was pregnant after ten months.
Curacao couldn't help but move his gaze to President Ishimoto: "..." I always felt that Uzo was in an abnormally good mood. Could he be trying to find something to do at this banquet?
She first quickly sorted out the several evacuation routes she had arranged in her mind. Yes, there were several - if it were under normal circumstances, she would not come up with so many alternative plans, but this time, Curacao did not dare to take it lightly.
