Chapter 371 Victory Points
Chapter 371 Victory Points
In the remaining days, I returned to my home and started my daily life again with my father Xiaolan. In the past week, Ningxue and his team who were scattered around my home to monitor did not find any traces of the organizers, not even a suspicious person. Everything was very peaceful. Tokiwa Mio was also calm for the time being until Friday.
"Mr. Liufeng, we already have a lot of intelligence about the Tokiwa Zaibatsu. To be honest, as long as we want, we can get at least 30% of Tokiwa's shares within a month. If we use some tricks, 40% will not be a problem." On Friday evening, I stood on the rooftop of my own detective agency, holding up my cell phone and listening to the unpleasant but very excited voice of Skinny Wolf.
"Keep your voice down, I can hear you clearly." I scratched my ears with disgust. "Only 40%? With so much intelligence and documents, can't we take at least 51%?"
"It's possible, but..." Skinny Wolf smiled awkwardly, "We don't have that much money anymore."
"This..." Skinny Wolf's words gave me a headache. That's right. After I had a fight with that man named Mingyue some time ago, although I got some favors from the government and took a lot of pirate spoils, compared to the huge Elcatraz, the funds brought by those spoils can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. Although it allowed the tight funds to be turned around, in fact it was still far from enough. The establishment of an island is not as simple as finding a flat land to build a house. From the design of the island, the paving of the road, the foundation to the establishment of high-rise buildings, as well as greening and the environment, we need to consider all aspects. Sister Jingliu and Sister Mingmei are really too busy to handle it. Manpower, materials, etc. all cost money. In addition, the Tokiwa Zaibatsu is indeed a big family, and it is almost impossible to swallow it all in one go.
"Okay, I'll send Tokiwa Mio away first, and the rest is up to you. Take as much as you can, we're in urgent need of expanding ourselves."
"Ah." Skinny Wolf nodded. "But I do have a good idea about taking over the Tokiwa Zaibatsu."
"Huh? Tell me?"
"The Tokiwa Zaibatsu spent a lot of effort to build the twin towers, and they also owed a lot of loans to finance it. Maybe we can think of a way to do that."
"...blew up the building?" I thought about what Skinny Wolf meant.
"It's okay to burn it. We won't need it anyway." Skinny Wolf's smile became even colder.
"...I'll think about it." Seeing that Shoulang was serious, I couldn't help but twitch my lips. Let's wait until we finish attending this banquet. While I'm there, I still need to find a way to kill Tokiwa Mio, and then I have to guard against the organization, or should I say, guard against Gin. Hmm... It doesn't seem accurate to use the word "guard", it should be said that I am preparing to do something bad to Gin. After that, I will blow up the building, that's the order.
"Okay, then I look forward to Mr. Liufeng's good news." Shoulang hung up the video call. I took out the laptop from the necklace and started planning Saturday's layout.
"The Twin Towers are located on a high slope. Building A and Building B are 319 and 294 meters high, and 50 meters apart. There are three tall buildings within a radius of 32 yards, located at due north, due east, and 120 degrees southwest. For sniping, these three locations face the sightseeing elevator in the front, the freight elevator in the back, the corridor on the side, and all floors within a 3-degree angle. Taking into account the organization's weapons and equipment, and with night vision goggles, there are basically no blind spots if you want to snipe at all floors... No, the top two floors of Building A and the distance between the two floors form a blind spot because of the obstruction of vision between the two floors. So if it is a defensive posture, the top floor of Building A is an excellent position for sniping, and the rooms and corridors between Buildings AB become the best places to hide." On the computer, I sat and marked the D map while thinking to myself. "There are two bridges that must be passed in the east and west, and then we will drive on the main road. Once the bridge is blown up, it will take at least two days to repair and open it. Well.. Isn't this trapping me here? Blow up one and ambush another?" I thought about the people available at hand, and finally gave up this idea. Relatively speaking, it is safer to plant bombs. Whether it is the three sisters of the Ning family or Xunji, I must send them nearby this time, because I want to ensure the safety of my father and Xiaolan as the top priority. At least one of the three girls of the Ning family must be with Xiaolan and my father. The other two people, one is responsible for sniping cover, and the other needs to be responsible for support. As for Xunji, it is better to spread out to both ends of the bridge to help monitor and remotely control the bombs. If they are asked to fight the organization head-on, it is no different from exposing themselves. Xunji is different from Night Crow. They are listed on the killer list and show their faces. Although Night Crow is famous, no one knows their true identity. After all, they are the backup left by Skinny Wolf for himself. Even if they are questioned about their origins, they can't tell the reason.
"The location of the bomb has been determined, and the next step is emergency response measures..."
"Kaoru!"
I was still thinking. Suddenly, someone called me from behind. I turned around and found that it was Conan who had reached the rooftop.
"What are you doing here?" Conan saw me standing up while putting away my computer.
"Making a video call with Xiao Ai." I lied with an unhappy look on my face.
"Um... do we need to look at a map?" Conan must have glanced at my computer screen. "Looking for a hotel?"
"Hey, Conan, are you itching for trouble because I haven't punished you recently?" As I said that, I started to roll up my sleeves.
"Haha, I was just kidding." Conan begged for mercy. "Xiaolan told you to take a shower and go to bed."
"Really... okay." Seeing that Conan was not bothered by what I was doing, I quickly left his sight. It's better to hide at this time. I can think about the rest when I get back.
However, where I couldn't see, Conan was looking at the gate I had just walked back to with a serious expression, muttering to himself.
"This kid is not thinking..."
———————————Detective Conan the Movie 5 & Countdown to Heaven——————————
"Xiaoxun, Conan, hurry up." The next afternoon, our family gathered downstairs. Of course, in addition to us, the doctor also drove the children to the detective agency, ready to go with us.
"Coming, coming." Conan and I walked down the stairs one after another.
"Ah? Xun, what are you wearing today..." The children who were waiting for us downstairs looked at me. When they saw my clothes, they all showed surprised looks. Even Shiho's expression seemed a little stunned.
"Hey~~Xiaoxun, this is the first time I see you wearing white clothes." Xiaolan also bent down and looked at me with a smile.
"Ah, I just suddenly wanted to change my style, ahaha, ahahaha." I scratched my head and laughed.
"Is this the gift that boy gave you?" Shiho came over and looked at my new outfit, a white windbreaker. "Yes." I nodded. The boy here is of course Kaito, but I can't say it openly. Otherwise, Conan next to him will definitely get mad. Although I think he can guess it.
"Is there anything different about this?" Shiho circled around me.
"It's just a white hooded windbreaker." I said lightly.
"Is it that simple?" Shiho asked suspiciously, but soon gave up her curiosity. That's right, Kaito only came to the island to discuss some things with me that day, so there's nothing wrong with giving me this dress casually. At best, it's just a special dress that allows you to take out a flower, flash bomb, smoke bomb, etc. at any time.
"If you have nothing else to do, get in the car. It's almost time to leave." The old man next to us looked at his watch and said to us. "Hey, Lan, wait until I finish this cigarette. If that rich lady doesn't come, we'll have to leave first."
"Dad~" Xiaolan yelled with a smile. Then she looked at the watch on her wrist. "Sonoko just said we'll be there soon!"
"Hey, kids, come up first." Dad said to Xiaolan while lighting a cigarette.
"That young lady..." When I thought of Yuanzi, I couldn't help but complain. She could have taken her own luxury car, but she insisted on squeezing into the car with us. I really don't know why.
"Regarding tonight's plan... are you sure?" Shiho, who got into the car with me, whispered to me when no one was in the car.
"Ah, I have already done everything I could think of. Not long ago, I also received news from Ningxue that more than 80% of the core project information of the entire Tokiwa Zaibatsu has been obtained. I have also taken some precautions against whether the organization will send people tonight. Unfortunately, I did not find a winning point that could trick Gin. Otherwise, it would definitely be enough to make that old guy drink a pot."
"..I'll go after all..."
"No~no." I shook my head decisively. "Our purpose this time is to prevent > escape > profit > assassinate members of the organization. So the place where bait is needed is not the key, so I will never let you show up. Even if there is no victory point, I will..."
"Hi~boys and girls~"
As I was talking, a slightly boastful female voice reached my ears, and I looked outside the car. I saw...
"Fuck!"
"Nani!"
"...Eh?"
The female voice just now was someone we were familiar with. Yes, it was Sonoko, the second daughter of the Suzuki family, but her appearance made many of us open our glasses wide, especially me, Conan, and Ai who was sitting next to me.
"Sonoko...your hair." Xiaolan had just had a visual shock from my new clothes. Unexpectedly, she felt it again from Sonoko.
"New hairstyle, new feeling~" Sonoko said with a smile. Yes, at this moment, Sonoko no longer has the short straight hair that exposes her forehead, but has a perm with clear waves. It's like...
"Yes, I permed it like your girlfriend." Sonoko poked my forehead through the car window. "How is it? Does it look good? Are you fascinated by me?" Sonoko brushed her freshly permed hair. "Oh, look, the brat over here is already stunned."
"..."
"..." Sonoko's words were met with silence from Conan and me.
"Hey, you two brats seem to have something to say. What, are you dissatisfied with my new look?" Seeing our silence and stunned expressions, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. He thought we were looking at idiots.
"Ah, no, no." Conan smiled. "It's just that I felt like I saw another person."
"What about you, little brat?" Yuanzi turned her dissatisfied gaze to me.
"I seem..."
"As if?" Sonoko tilted her head. "Did you see what your girlfriend will look like when she grows up?"
"I think... I found a winning point."
"...Hi?"
