Chapter 2873-2885 [Backstabbed]
Ray Katis uncapped the autograph pen and explained to the host next to him, "Although we don't have any autographs scheduled today, this lady brought laughter to the party, so it's okay to make an exception and sign for her."
"But this is a rare opportunity..." After thinking for a while, Ray Katis returned the autograph book to Mao Lilan. He walked to the side and picked up a commemorative uniform on the table. "Why don't I sign my autograph on it?"
Mao Lilan's eyes lit up: "Thank you so much!" - The star's signature is of course more suitable to be on the jersey than in the autograph book!
The host's eyes twitched slightly when he saw this scene. He whispered to the free foreign star, "That won't do! Have you forgotten that this jersey is a prize for the lottery?"
"It doesn't matter." Ray Curtis waved his hand. "Besides this one, there are three more. It's enough for the lottery."
Vodka: "..." There are so many opportunities in front of you, but you reject them one by one. In a sense, you are really a natural goalkeeper!
The two people were signing their names in whispers, but under the stage, Toyama and Ye suddenly discovered something.
She looked towards the stage and asked in confusion, "No. 8 jersey? I remember that Mr. Ray Curtis is a goalkeeper. Don't goalkeepers usually use No. 1 jerseys?"
Conan came back to his senses from his idol and explained, "Because he originally played in midfield. The reason he became a goalkeeper was because during a World Cup match, the other goalkeepers on his team had problems at the same time. Mr. Lei was forced to take his place, but he showed amazing ability."
"It was because of his outstanding performance that they were able to reach the final. After that, he has been wearing his No. 8 jersey as a goalkeeper."
Vodka, who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up, said: "…" It's fine if adults know about Ray Curtis, a famous basketball star, but this first-grade kid actually knows everything about him...
Sure enough, this football star might have been targeted by that guy.
While the members of the organization were secretly assessing the situation.
The high school students.
Yuanshan and Ye had known Conan for a long time, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She soon discovered another thing: "Why is the baseball star's jersey number 99? A baseball game requires 99 people?"
Hattori Heiji caught a glimpse of Vodka looking over here, raised his hand and interrupted Conan who was about to speak, and said, "That means '99 miles', which is 160 kilometers per hour. It refers to the speed of his previous pitches - this speed is quite amazing, so he chose 99 as his back number, imprinting his peak on his body."
"These stars are so free with their numbers." Suzuki Sonoko also discovered something. "Look, besides the signature, there's also a 4 written on that pair of boxing gloves - what does that mean? Could it be that he has beaten four people to death?"
Vodka: "..." The ferocious guy is worthy of being the scariest minion after that little minion - the 4 clearly means "4th round", because the retired boxer on the stage always defeated his opponent in the 4th round. After being teased for a long time, he simply signed 4 every time when signing...
Just as I was thinking about it, a figure trotted down from the stage - Mao Lilan successfully got the autograph she wanted and happily returned to the crowd.
She looked at the crowd around her, furtively took out a ticket and handed it to Conan: "I remember you are also a fan of Mr. Lei - he just slipped this to me secretly. He has an exhibition match at the Nagai Stadium tomorrow. Shinichi is not here, so I'll give this ticket to you."
"Wow!!" Conan didn't expect such a good thing to happen. He took the ticket happily, and looked so excited that he finally looked like a real first-grade student.
Jiang Xia looked down at the ticket and said, "This Mr. Lei is really approachable."
Hattori Heiji also found it strange: "It's okay to just ask for an autograph, but he even secretly gave you tickets. He's too good to you."
Mao Lilan laughed: "Actually, this comes at a price - you see."
She pulled out a walkie-talkie and waved it at her classmates: “They want to ask me for a favor—after dinner, these three gentlemen will come into the hotel and turn on the lights in certain rooms.
“They wanted to use lights to spell out the letter ‘K’ on the building as a surprise for all the guests coming to the dinner.
"It's not easy to spell in such a big hotel, so in order to make sure there are no spelling mistakes, they asked me to watch from outside and help direct the adjustments."
"Hmm... although it's a bit childish, it sounds fun." Suzuki Sonoko rolled up her sleeves and pulled Jiang Xia and Toyama Kazuha, "Lighting up so many lights is a big project, let's go help too!"
…
Soon, the banquet came to an end.
The guests left the banquet hall in twos and threes and came to the square in front of the hotel building, waiting to watch the three stars' childish feats.
In the chaos, a short and fat American reporter rolled his eyes, walked in the opposite direction, and quietly entered the building.
——A while ago, an anonymous person sent an email saying that he had actual evidence of Ray Curtis taking drugs and asked him to trade here tonight.
The reporter had just spread rumors that Lecardis was taking drugs, and this evidence was very important for him to maintain his status and reputation.
"I don't know who Ray Curtis got the goods from. My efforts actually helped others build a bridge... It's a shameless robbery."
The reporter who was also a part-time drug dealer snorted coldly and cursed inwardly: "Once I get the evidence, I will write a big story about this annoying football star in the next month to make him be nailed to the pillar of shame for drug abuse forever!"
The fat reporter went upstairs cursing and headed for the agreed transaction location.
Behind him, a gloomy-looking man touched the gun on his body, winked at Vodka, and followed him quietly.
Vodka received the look: "..."
He pushed up the sunglasses on his nose, turned around, and followed the crowd out of the building.
When he reached the stairs, Calvados was about to turn around to talk to his companions, but when he looked back, there was no one behind him.
Calvados: “……?”
…
Outside, among the crowd in front of the hotel building.
Vodka's phone buzzed.
"..." Mr. Yamada, pretending to be just an ordinary guest, hesitated for a moment, but finally took two steps to the side and reluctantly answered the phone.
As expected, Calvados's gloomy voice came from the receiver: "The target is right in front of us, and he is acting alone. This is a great opportunity to capture him - where are you?"
