At first, Mao Lilan thought it was a prank. For example, the small advertisement thrown on the ground looked like a folded banknote, but when you picked it up, you would find that it was a small card with a messy pattern printed on the back.
But when she pulled the thin golden object out of the chocolate wrapper with suspicion, she was surprised to find that this was probably not a joke from an unknown person.
The feel of the ticket, which was completely different from that of paper, and the sound similar to that of a metal plectrum being plucked that she heard when she fiddled with the gold ticket, undoubtedly proved that this was a genuine and authentic ticket.
Mao Lilan no longer remembered how she came to the living room with the lottery ticket. It all seemed like her fantasy.
When she came to her senses, she was already sitting on the sofa in the living room, and her father was chattering about the golden ticket. The child who came to her house on the first day was also standing on tiptoe and jumping around trying to see the ticket clearly in the man's hand.
"It's actually true!" There was excitement in Kogoro Mouri's voice, and he was even trembling with joy.
He opened his phone and saw a search interface. Naturally, out of disbelief, he searched for information on how to tell whether the golden ticket was real or not.
Since the launch of this activity, there have been many such fraud cases, some of which almost made it to the morning news. If it weren't for the frequent homicides in Rice Flower City, I'm afraid that the TV station's news programs might have really been dominated by this large-scale fraud case.
However, after carefully comparing the characteristics of the golden ticket, Kogoro Mori had to admit that this was a genuine one. Such good luck made him a little unbelievable. After briefly staring at the golden ticket, ecstasy immediately took over his body and mind, and he kept praising luck for being kind to their family.
The boy named Edogawa Conan also seemed to show great interest in the golden ticket, but this was not surprising. After seeing those wonderful advertisements of the Dahl Chocolate Factory, every child would be interested in such an overly dreamy place.
It seems that even a little boy like Conan who looks different from other kids would be like this. Apart from the joy of winning the prize, Mao Lilan somehow turned her thoughts to Conan.
Until this moment, Mao Lilan still had no real feeling that she had won the prize, and her thoughts were scattered in strange directions. This floating feeling made it difficult for her to concentrate on what she should be thinking about.
This is probably the most realistic reaction of an ordinary person when he or she suddenly gets lucky. Faced with this kind of luck, Mao Lilan subconsciously told Suzuki Sonoko about her winning the prize, and this was also the most correct and effective decision that her limited rationality could drive her to make.
As the daughter of a wealthy family, the girl immediately announced the matter to the world in a very generous manner, leaving no chance for someone with evil intentions to kill or rob people, or impersonate the girl without anyone noticing.
Although it is not stated explicitly, this is undoubtedly a way to use the public's attention to protect Mao Lilan.
"It's really unbelievable! Xiaolan is so amazing!" A girl named Suzuki Sonoko said to her friends happily.
"It's okay..." Mao Lilan felt a little embarrassed, but she finally regained her composure, and she more or less understood what this lottery ticket meant to her.
This might be a great opportunity for ordinary people to rise to fame overnight, but for Mao Lilan, even if she won the prize, she had no intention of inheriting the so-called candy factory. For her, this winning might just be a special trip.
"I have blocked some media for you, but your life may still be disturbed a little. But it should be much better after the tour is over."
Perhaps sensing the helplessness in her friend's tone, Suzuki Sonoko spoke very sympathetically.
"Thank you so much, Sonoko. If it weren't for you, I would be at a loss right now," said the girl who was suddenly struck by good luck with gratitude.
But she suddenly seemed to think of something and shyly sent an invitation to her friends: "Ticket
It seems that you can bring a family member with you, I wonder if Sonoko is interested?"
"Damn it," the girl on the other end of the phone muttered quietly for a while, as if complaining about something, but Mao Lilan didn't hear clearly, "I happened to have a plan that day, and my father wouldn't let me suddenly let it go."
"I really want to go, wow wow wow, I heard that the things in the Dahl chocolate commercials were shot for real, I have wanted to go and see it for a long time, but unfortunately Mr. Dahl has always been very mysterious, and it involves industry secrets, even if I ask my father, I can't go in and take a look."
Mouri Ran could feel the girl's resentment through the phone, and she couldn't help but laugh at Suzuki Sonoko's somewhat childish behavior.
She comforted him repeatedly, "It's okay, I will definitely try my best to bring back some souvenirs. I heard that if you attend the event, you can get rich gifts. If it is allowed, I will definitely take some photos and bring them back."
After hearing her words, Suzuki Sonoko was immediately appeased, and her tone became excited again: "Great! It's a deal then! You must have fun."
The young lady, who had always been very upset about a detective who left without saying goodbye, did not forget to secretly advise her friend at the end: "It would be best if you could meet a super handsome guy, and then forget about Shinichi as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Maori Ran was in a dilemma. She was not sure who to invite to go with her. Maori Kogoro happened to have an important dinner with a former client that day, so it would not be a good idea to turn him down at this time. But as for the other friends, it seemed that none of them were particularly suitable to invite.
It would be great if Shinichi was here. The girl couldn't help but think of her lover. If Kudo Shinichi was here, she would definitely invite the boy to go with her. How romantic it would be to have a date in such a dreamy candy factory.
However, the detective is now abroad and is probably busy with some case. Mao Lilan couldn't help but sigh.
Just then, the elementary school student who was staying at her house suddenly started to act coquettishly.
"Sister Xiaolan, can you take me with you?" Kudo Shinichi, who suddenly became smaller, tried hard to overcome his psychological barriers and made full use of the advantages of his face, so that people could not even tell that he was already a high school student.
Perhaps because disguise is probably one of the detective's skills, Kudo Shinichi is surprisingly good at disguising himself as a child.
"Hey, shall I take you?"
When he called her, Mao Lilan was stunned. She couldn't stand the coquettishness of children. And then she thought that such activities might really be suitable for children.
After all, such sweet-sounding itineraries and chocolate factories are what children dream of at first glance. Thinking of Conan's age, Mao Lilan immediately thought it was a good idea.
She had no intention of winning any grand prize; she had gone there with the intention of travelling. It was also nice to bring a child with her. Besides, Conan was very sensible, and perhaps the experience of travelling would help them get to know each other more quickly.
Thinking so, Mao Lilan quickly agreed.
"OK."
“If that doesn’t work… eh eh eh!”
Conan Edogawa originally wanted to write other methods if he was rejected, but he didn't expect that Mouri Ran would agree so readily, making his prepared draft useless.
"I agree. Okay, let's go out and buy some clothes for you in a few days. You should wear something formal for this kind of occasion."
Mao Lilan arranged plans for the next few days very proactively. Amid the cheers of Edogawa Conan, the three people in Mao Li's house all had a good dream.
But other winners were not so lucky.
"Are you done with it, Vodka?" The silver-haired man leaned against the side of the car, his cold tone just like his hair, carrying a gloomy and terrifying aura.
The man whose name was called was wearing black sunglasses and was walking calmly out of an ordinary single-family house.
"The mission was accomplished, brother. He pretended to commit suicide by taking an overdose of drugs and hallucinating." Perhaps thinking that this was not enough, Vodka added, "He
I was originally an addict.”
The man called Big Brother nodded indifferently. It was unclear whether he was satisfied with the progress of his subordinates in completing the tasks.
"Let's go and get the things."
Gin gave the instructions briefly and to the point. Vodka was already very familiar with Gin's character, so he followed him into the car in silence.
After getting in the car, Gin said, "Check it to make sure it's not a fake."
Vodka knew he would say this, and as soon as Gin finished speaking, he took out the loot they found from the man's house.
Vodka wouldn't even remember the name of the person who just died. To them, it was just a tool to achieve their goals.
Or in another sense, the drug addict has probably used up all his luck in life to be able to live like a decent person until now and win the golden ticket.
Gin was very careful and cautious about the inspection of the golden ticket, and even hesitated to let Vodka handle it.
This is no wonder. Since the news of Dahl Candy Company's event was officially released, some counterfeit products have flowed into the market. Countless fools are deceived every day. Gin and vodka naturally do not want to be one of them.
I have to say that the golden ticket is very well anti-counterfeit. Perhaps it is because of the special material used. The pattern symbolizing the candy factory's trademark will change from gold to a color similar to milk chocolate at a certain angle.
If someone compares this with Dahl original milk chocolate, it is not difficult to find that their colors are exactly the same.
Gin and Vodka were also very lucky this time, as they finally did not make a wasted trip like before. After seeing the color-changing logo, not only Vodka showed joy, even Gin, who usually did not like to show his emotions, could not help but raise a fleeting smile at the corner of his mouth.
This is exactly what they desire, and it is something that can make the organization even better. No, it is not just that. Considering those miraculous chocolates that even researchers have not yet figured out the reason for, this may be something that can make the organization soar to fame.
Not to mention the rejuvenation potion that the organization's boss desires. They are determined to win the final prize, even if it means using any means.
************
In a candy company in the UK, a gentleman in a purple velvet tuxedo suddenly opened his eyes in his office. He suddenly fell on the office table made of hard marble chocolate and said thoughtfully: "The qualifications of a candidate have changed..."
As the owner of the golden ticket, Roald Dahl could theoretically sense the existence of the lucky ones who drew the tickets, but just now, the second golden ticket found suddenly changed hands.
Although it is possible that the lottery ticket owner voluntarily gave the ticket away, it is also possible that someone used violent means to seize the ticket.
Such a change gave Roald Dahl a little headache, but only a little. In his own field, he was the only one who deserved to be the uncrowned king.
The world of candy belongs to his kingdom, just as the kingdom of fantasy belongs to Michel Ende. In this place created entirely by him, no one can do anything wrong.
