Chapter 994 1002 [The Remains of Moriya Teiji]
Ai Huiyuan grabbed Jiang Xia's clothes and looked at the retreating naughty kids, secretly breathing a sigh of relief:
Although she didn't know whether the "time machine" was real or not, she was not curious at all about her "ten years later" - because she had seen it many times.
On the contrary, if the machine took a picture of "Sulli", things would undoubtedly become very troublesome. Who knows if the data left in the machine will be seen by the organization one day.
Haibara Ai, who has been in the organization since she was a child, knows very well that the demons lurking in the darkness must not be underestimated. Their tentacles are often much longer than many people think, and they always appear suddenly when you least expect them.
…
In the exhibition hall on the second floor, a group of people were having fun.
At this moment, the secretary Chinami Sawada's cell phone suddenly vibrated.
She walked to the side and answered a phone call.
Then he greeted the guests with a smile and said, "Please follow me to the banquet hall on the 75th floor. The chairman is waiting for you there."
The span from the second floor to the 75th floor was so huge that they did not take the escalator inside the building.
Instead, under the guidance of Chinami Sawada, they found the sightseeing elevator.
This type of elevator is installed on the outside of the building. Except for the elevator door, the other three sides are made of transparent materials, making it very convenient to enjoy the scenery.
"It's so beautiful." Mao Lilan happily walked to the window and looked outside along the transparent curtain wall. As the elevator rose and quickly retreated to the ground below, it made people feel like they were flying. "Can this elevator go all the way to the 75th floor?"
"Yes." Sawada Chinami nodded. "This is a VIP-only elevator. You can choose any floor you want to go to. However, if you want to take it from the outside, you can enter from the concert hall on the 66th floor."
Jiang Xia listened and looked across.
——The elevator was facing a building nearly 100 meters away. Compared to this elevator, it was a good sniping point.
Just as he was thinking, Ayumi beside him looked at the increasingly magnificent scenery and couldn't help but smile: "It's so beautiful, it's like I'm stepping towards heaven!"
Jiang Xia: “…” This is probably a little prophet.
…
Not long after, the elevator reached the 75th floor.
The door slid open silently to both sides, and the vast banquet hall appeared before everyone.
The decoration here is exquisite, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows make the room very bright. However, because the Tokiwa Foundation is preparing for the opening ceremony of the building, the hall is currently a bit messy, with decorative materials piled everywhere on the ground, and staff members walking back and forth, discussing plans in a low voice.
In front of the most conspicuous stage, several celebrities were standing there chatting. At a glance, they were all talents from all walks of life. Chairman Tokiwa was also among them.
Chinami Sawada led the guests over.
Before the group of people approached, the people who were talking had already noticed their movements.
Tokiwa Mio glanced over here and walked over with a smile: "Mori-senpai, long time no see."
"Haha, long time no see." Maori Kogoro glanced at the group of people who were using the building behind him, feeling a little embarrassed. He whispered to make amends, "I wanted to come here by myself, but there are too many children at home, so I had to come along... Um, this is my daughter, these two are her classmates, and these are..."
He gritted his teeth and introduced them one by one.
No matter what Tokiwa Mio was thinking, she always maintained an elegant smile on her face.
After Kogoro Mori finished speaking, the shrewd chairman smiled and introduced several people around him to the guests.
She first gestured to the person closest to her. He was an elderly man in a kimono, not tall, but with a very majestic aura: "This is my painting teacher, a famous Japanese painter - Kisaragi Minemizu."
"Oh! I've heard of it." Suzuki Sonoko knew a lot about this. "It's the famous painter who painted 'Mount Fuji', right?"
"That's right." Just as she finished speaking, a drunken man with a beer belly came over. He reeked of alcohol and smiled at her flatteringly, "The daughter of the Suzuki Group is here too. Nice to meet you!"
Suzuki Sonoko lowered her head and looked at the man's hand that was grabbing hers: "..."
Although at this moment, it seems that you should politely shake hands with others.
But seeing that fat face, those narrowed eyes, and especially the choking smell of alcohol...
By the time Suzuki Sonoko came to her senses, she had already instinctively teleported away, moved a step, and hid behind Jiang Xia.
The middle-aged man grabbed excitedly, but in the end he only held Jiang Xia's hand.
Jiang Xia was startled, withdrew his gaze from the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at him.
After hesitating for a moment, he continued what the man had just said: "...Nice to meet you?"
"Hmph!" Damu Yansong pushed him away in disdain. He glared at Jiang Xia, the obstacle, and suddenly touched his chin in confusion, "I seem to have seen you somewhere before, have you been to our house?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Xia looked at him carefully, but didn't have any impression of this face. "No."
Tokiwa Mio felt the awkwardness in the air.
She smiled and interrupted the conversation between the two, introducing the drunk to Jiang Xia and the others: "This is Mr. Oki Iwamatsu, a councilman from Nishitama City. This building could only be built thanks to his great help."
Hearing this name, Jiang Xia's eyes flashed with sudden realization: "!"
...Speaking of "Damu", it seems that he did have a client with the surname "Damu".
The lady had a Border Collie at home, a beautiful and clever dog. When it got lost, it would run directly to the door of the detective agency and squat there. Every time Jiang Xia opened the door, he would find it, which made things easier.
Councilman Oki was not interested in Jiang Xia and did not notice the change in his expression.
Tokiwa Mio has also shifted her attention to the next person to be introduced.
She raised her hand to signal the person behind her: "Speaking of 'building the building', this gentleman also made an invaluable contribution..."
This time, before Tokiwa Mio could finish her words, the tall man took the initiative to step forward.
He stared at Jiang Xia with his eagle-like eyes and introduced himself: "I am the designer of this building, Fengjian Yingyan."
After a pause, Kazama Hidehiko glanced at Councillor Oki, then looked at Jiang Xia, and said with a smile: "I think I've seen you before - you're the detective who was accused of assault by Moriya Teiji.
"It's just that there was no evidence for the 'beating' incident, and no media was willing to report it. In addition, he was a dangerous antisocial criminal, so no one took it seriously. And Moriya Teiji himself... he heard that if he sued, he might have to appear in court to confront you in person, so he didn't insist. In the end, the matter was left unresolved."
After recalling the past, Fengjian Yingyan suddenly said with a mysterious tone: "I am a disciple of Moriya Teiji."
