Chapter 2412 2424 [Love Place]
Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi entered the building together.
After their figures disappeared in the elevator, two shadows, one tall and one short, walked over.
Huiyuan Ai pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose, looked up at the luxurious building, and breathed a sigh of relief: "You are quite good at choosing a place."
As far as she knew, this was not a place that the organization's cadres liked to go, so the possibility of meeting Gin was reduced.
Next to him, the organization cadre who loved to go everywhere lowered his hand and patted the defecting organization cadre who was distracted: "Let's go, it's time for dinner, we should go in and eat."
Haibara Ai nodded, and the two of them walked into the hall side by side.
Not long after, another figure walked over from behind them.
Kuroba Kaito pushed the baseball cap on his head and looked up at the building. He estimated its approximate height and then looked at another tall tower that was vaguely visible in the distance.
"Should we start from the rooftop of this building tonight, or go directly to the rooftop of Tokyo Tower and squat there?" The dedicated Phantom Thief scratched his hat, struggling with the question, "It's a little far away, and the wind direction isn't very good, but it's a good retreat plan... We still have some time, so let's go to the rooftop first. If it works, we'll use it as plan B, and if it doesn't, we'll just treat it as a sightseeing trip."
He pretended to be an ordinary guest and walked into the hall, all the way to the top. On the way, Kuroba Kaito rummaged through his pockets and took out a small piece of paper the length of a knuckle.
This is what he found on the gem after he stole it last time.
On this mini-teaser letter, someone wrote in a very thief-like language:
[Kaito Kidd, it’s my turn next.
On Saturday night when the moon is late, I will seal the gem in your hand on the spotless pile, and repay the grudge of 18 years ago.]
"No matter how many times I watch it, it's still confusing." Kuroba Kaito frowned. "The time and place are easy to explain, but what is the grudge from 18 years ago... Is this person coming for the previous Kaito Kidd?"
Although things seem a bit strange, Kuroba Kaito still came. Just as a letter of commission with cash can definitely hire a high school detective, a confusing letter of warning can definitely attract a high school thief.
Besides, the previous Kidd was his father who was suspected to have passed away. The matter was related to him, so he couldn't not come.
After re-reading the poorly written notice letter, Kuroba Kaito put it away and continued to rush to the rooftop.
…
The rooftop observation restaurant.
The magnificent hall was grand and majestic. There were not many guests at this time, and occasionally there were business people dressed formally walking by in twos and threes.
Mao Lilan looked at these social elites, and then looked at herself and Kudo Shinichi, who had completely different styles, and couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable: "Why did you choose such a high-end hotel? It's just dinner, just eat something casually."
Kudo Shinichi stretched himself comfortably: when he was "Conan", he couldn't spend too much because of the attention of his two guardians. But now that he has become a high school student again after a long time, of course he has to enjoy himself. Moreover, this hotel has a special meaning to him, so the consumption level is secondary.
Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi smiled generously: "It's my dad's card, it would be a waste if I don't use it."
Huibara Ai, who was eavesdropping from a distance: “…” Prodigal son.
As she thought, she ordered all the dishes on the menu that Jiang Xia had glanced at a few more times: It just so happens that they have sold a few new patents recently, and the food in this hotel is really good. It's a rare opportunity to come here, so I should try all of them.
…
At another table, Mao Lilan also expressed the same sentiment: "You are so filial."
Kudo Shinichi could tell she was being sarcastic and snorted, "There's a loving couple who abandoned their son and went abroad to enjoy themselves. What's wrong with me being a little filial to them?"
Mao Lilan was amused: "You are really like Conan. The child's parents also went abroad."
Kudo Shinichi: “…”
Kudo Shinichi closed his mouth and cold sweat broke out.
He stretched out his hand stiffly and dragged the menu aside: "Um, order food! Yes, let's order food first!"
When Kudo Shinichi carefully avoided the deadly minefield.
In the distance, in a dim corridor.
Three office workers surrounded a pot-bellied president, and the four of them walked towards the VIP elevator together.
One of them asked in surprise: "You are not attending the reception today?"
"Well." The president twirled his mustache, "I suddenly feel unwell. You will give the speech today in my place."
After saying that, he frowned and glanced at his ceiling: "Is the light here broken? Why is the light so dim?"
The tall minister quickly explained in a low voice: "This is specially adjusted for today's performance."
"Oh!" The president suddenly realized it and smiled mysteriously, "Okay, I'll leave it to you guys then."
After saying that, he pressed the button and the elevator door opened with a bang.
With the three people bowing to him, the president walked in. He pressed the door closing button and the elevator door closed again.
As the lights in the corridor dimmed again, the three office workers breathed a sigh of relief: Although the president had a good temper most of the time, being with the boss always made people feel stressed.
Now that the source of pressure is gone, the three of them plan to leave and go about their own business.
Just then, with a series of crisp clicking sounds, a beautiful young lady in high heels trotted towards them.
"I seem to be late." Tatsumi Sakurako looked at her watch and asked apologetically, "Where is the venue for today's meeting?"
"Ms. Sakurako?" All the office workers knew the president's daughter.
Just as the father left, his daughter came back. They couldn't neglect her, so they pointed in the direction of the restaurant: "It's the Italian restaurant over there."
"I see." Tatsumi Sakurako suddenly saw the minister next to her, and she greeted him in surprise, "Mr. Oba!"
Her eyes were almost glued to him. The other two looked at each other and said goodbye very sensibly: "We still have some work to do at the venue, so we'll leave first."
Minister Ohba nodded at them politely and said, "Okay, I'll be there as soon as possible."
The two middle-aged office workers turned and left.
After they left completely, Tatsumi Sakurako happily trotted towards Ohba Satoru: "I'm here!"
"You're late." Ohba Satoru sighed and looked at his watch. "Didn't we agree to meet here at 8:30 at the latest?"
"Sorry, sorry." Tatsumi Sakurako blinked her eyes cutely, "You know, every time I see you I want to dress up better, so it took me a little longer."
“…”Ooba Satoru was unmoved and still looked unhappy about her being late.
