Chapter 373: Just a father-son game?
"So... it's really a father-son game?" A few minutes later, Conan crossed his arms and looked at the two people who had just won the game. Not far from him, Shiho also shook her head helplessly, and looked at the two figures on the stage, one big and one small, who were staring at each other.

About three minutes ago, Mio Tokiwa started the game called "Guess the 30-second time". The participants handed in their phones and watches, and each took a small flag to prepare for the game. Before I joined the game, I had already put my phone and watch into my necklace, and only handed in the watch with a lighting system that each member of the detective team had. After that, I took the flag and started preparing for the game. Conan and Shiho on the side did not participate, because they knew that with me, who could accurately time the bomb, there was no need for them to waste that time.

In this way, the game began. In my mind, it seemed as if there was a clock ticking. Soon, people raised their flags one after another, but they were too early. A few seconds later, I raised my flag too. The time was exactly thirty seconds, and the father who had just been slapped by a baby raised his flag at the same time as me. Thus, a tense and exciting game of rock-paper-scissors to compete for the father and son began.

"Kula! You little brat, why are you arguing with me?" Before the game, it was the familiar trash talk. My dad pointed at my nose and said in a trembling voice. "Hurry up and get off the bike, or you won't have dinner tonight, and you won't have dinner in the future!"

"No, I promised my friend that I would win this car." On the other side of the racing field, I smiled at my dad.

"You, you little loser. You want to give away such a nice car... You..." Dad was so angry that his nose was snorting. "Well, if that's the case, then I'll win the car back in a fair and square way! Ahhhhh!!!" As if gathering strength, Dad stared at his clenched fist right hand, as if he was trying to gather all his luck.

"By the way, uncle." On the other side, I spoke without any pressure. "You just mentioned dinner, do you remember what Sister Xiaolan made for us last night?"

"Eh? Dinner? Yesterday? What did you eat?"

"Rock, Paper, Scissors!" Seeing my dad suddenly stunned, I raised my lips slightly. I immediately ended the trash talk and went straight into the game. The winner was decided in one round!
And the result...

"Woo woo.. woo wow wow wow!!! My supercar!" Within five seconds, my dad squatted aside in regret, looking at the scissors he had just made. Then he glanced to the other side with tears in his eyes, looking at me who was walking towards the supercar step by step.

"Really? You guys are so mean when you use tricks." Conan in the audience complained helplessly while holding his forehead with his hand as he watched me win easily.

"Huh? Kid, what do you mean by that?" Yuanzi, who was applauding me on the side, squatted down and asked.

"Huh? Don't you know?" Conan looked up at Sonoko. "Just now, Kaoru used a little trick of psychology. Before the game of rock-paper-scissors, she interrupted her opponent's thinking with an irrelevant topic. At that moment, the person who was not prepared had a 70% chance of using scissors in the next game of rock-paper-scissors."

"Is this true?" Yuanzi asked in disbelief.

"It's true." Shiho said on the side. "And Kaoru has a special rock-paper-scissors technique. Once you get into his rhythm in the first round, you won't be able to win next time."

"Hmm... this kid should not be underestimated." Sonoko said, pulling her chin in deep thought. But it was obvious that thinking was not suitable for her, and soon Sonoko became cheerful and said, "But he is still quite powerful. Haha, he made that confused uncle fool around!"

"..." Conan couldn't help but twitch his lips and started to complain. "Yeah, the so-called powerful kid you mentioned was still thinking about how to sell you out just over ten minutes ago."

Of course, I definitely don't know Conan and the others' conversation. I walked around the sports car and saw the car key still hanging in the socket. I thought there should be gasoline in the car. I guess it was filled up during the test drive and it didn't run out.

"Here, keep it." I pulled out the car keys and threw them into Shiho's hands.

"Is it really okay for you to cheat your father like this?" Shiho took the key and made a rare complaint.

"I've already bought him one, so he doesn't care about this~" I laughed and looked at my father who had a regretful expression on his face. "This car is not bad. If it is converted into a bag, it should be okay..."

brush...

Before I finished speaking, the lights in the hall suddenly went out, which made me alert instantly. However, soon a music announcement sounded, and I was relieved. It was not the organization that turned off the lights, but it was just an item in the banquet program. The purpose of turning off the lights was to display the famous Mount Fuji painting stored here by Kisaragi.

"Conan, keep an eye on the garden." I whispered to Conan from the side.

"What about you?" Conan looked around and didn't sense any danger. He didn't understand why I didn't take care of the garden myself.

"I'll go somewhere else." In fact, I was planning to take advantage of this dark environment to kill Tokiwa Mio directly, so that we can get the shares of Tokiwa Group at the lowest price. It's a pity that Tokiwa Mio's company is in collusion with the organization, otherwise, I wouldn't have to kill her.

"Somewhere else?" Conan was a little confused. "Isn't Sonoko's safety the top priority at this time? Why are you..."

"Okay, I really have something to do." I interrupted Conan and walked out on my own. This opportunity was fleeting, I had to seize it well, but Conan seemed to have known my plan for a long time and pulled me back to where I was.

"So you want to do something while guarding against the organization?" Conan said with a little dissatisfaction. "Let me tell you, today is..."

Ah ah!!!!!
Before Conan finished speaking, a female scream was heard from the front of the stage. Looking up, in front of a painting of Mount Fuji in spring snow, Tokiwa Mio, wearing a black dress, was like a glaring dividing line, hanging straight in the center of the painting. And she... also lost her breath.

"Hurry up and put Mio down! Draw the curtain!" Dad jumped onto the stage immediately after seeing this, and told Sawaguchi to put Mio down. Conan also gave up trying to fight me and chased after me.

"Hu..." On the other side, seeing this scene, I whistled softly. "It seems that keeping Ruyue is still useful, at least... Oh, it's really sad."

———————————Detective Conan the Movie 5 & Countdown to Heaven——————————

Soon, the police who had been waiting downstairs came up, but unfortunately, Mio Tokiwa insisted on not letting the police officers come up to disturb the party, otherwise she might still be alive now... Well, live a little longer.

The scene was cordoned off. Conan and his father were running around investigating the case, while I was thinking, since Tokiwa Mio is dead, I only have one purpose left here. To give Gin a surprise. But now with so many guards, I guess Gin can't be killed. The only thing I can do is to force Sherry into his sniper field of view, and now Sherry... I looked at Sonoko who was a little overwhelmed and frowned slightly.

"Shiho, be careful next time. I have a feeling the organization will take action soon."

"..." Although Shiho's face showed no expression, her heartbeat suddenly quickened and her stiff movements betrayed her. "What are you going to do?"

"Wait, let me find a chance to give Gin some fun." "Can you promise to kill him?" Shiho asked softly.

"If he dares to come to the scene, he's dead." I said disdainfully. "But if I were to snipe from 400 yards, I might not be able to stop him. He's very alert. Besides, I can't kill him now."

"Yes." Shiho nodded gently and didn't ask too much of me. She also knew what level of person my next opponent was, and she also knew that there were people waiting for me in that dark place. "Is there anything I can do?"

“Be with the kids.”

"Eh?" Shiho looked at me in surprise, her big eyes full of question marks.

“It’s safest to be with them.”

"What about you?" After thinking for a while, Shiho asked again.

"I have to think about how Gin plans to force Sonoko out. What method would be more appropriate..."

"What if it was you?" Shiho tried to get me to think in reverse. "What would you do?"

"Of course, walk into the meeting and hand the target a glass of champagne filled with slow poison. Nothing is more efficient than this."

"...That's right. You have a face like a jerk. If you work as a waiter, no one will recognize you. You can also completely attract Sonoko's attention."

"...one word wins the day."

"Is there any place that would be a perfect entry point for Gin?" Shiho entered the analytical state again.

"Actually, I found a few sniper spots when I came here. These locations are very likely, so as long as Sonoko doesn't get close to the window, she won't be in danger. But if Gin uses bombs to force people to go out..."

Boom. Boom.

Before I could finish my words, I heard several heavy roars, and then the whole building began to tremble. The lights of the banquet went out instantly.

"What's going on!" Inspector Megure asked the police officers at the scene. But the only answer he got was the police officers looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What! The power room on the fourth floor underground exploded? And the computer room on the 40th floor?!" The first person to receive the report was the building's designer, Kazama.

"How did it explode?" Officer Megure asked hurriedly.

"I don't know. Not only was there an explosion, but there was also a serious fire on the 40th floor. We'd better evacuate quickly." Fengjian said.

"The power room exploded, the power should have been cut off." Officer Shiratori reminded.

"So, all the elevators have stopped working?" Officer Megure asked Kazama.

"Yes, but the observation elevator can still be used. It uses a backup power supply." Fengjian thought for a moment. "However, this elevator can only bear the weight of nine people at a time."

"Inspector, there are too many people and the speed is too slow." Shiratori said hurriedly.

"Is there any other way of escape?" Inspector Megure's face was serious. There were dozens of lives at stake here.

"Yes, we can also take the escape ladder to the 60th floor and go directly to Building B for shelter."

"Okay, then, all the elderly, women, and children take the elevator and leave. The rest of you follow the police to the 60th floor and enter Building B."

"Oh, I found it." Listening to the conversation between Inspector Megure and designer Kazama, I immediately found the direction of Gin's attack. It seems that Gin wants to force Shiho into the only movable elevator, and then shoot her with a long-range sniper. Another possibility is to ambush on the road that people must pass. Both situations are possible. But with Gin's personality, the task of standing in the corner to ambush people should probably be left to Vodka, right? Gin's words... "Oh, it seems that my mouth is blessed, and I can explode as soon as I say it." I pulled Shiho, but I was making an inappropriate joke.

"As expected, explosions and fire attacks?" Shiho frowned. Although the person standing next to her gave her a lot of security, she still trembled a little when she thought of the organization's style.

"You and the kids take the elevator down. But don't take the same shift as Sonoko, let Kudo go with her." I raised my lips slightly. It's time to find some fun for Gin.

"why?"

"..." I didn't say anything. I just looked at Shiho silently, then raised my head and looked at the elevator door that had opened not far away.

"...Can you please not give up..." Shiho increased the strength of her grip on my clothes, but unfortunately I interrupted her before she could finish her words.

"...Go ahead." I took Shiho's hand and pushed her forward, pushing her to the side of the children. Shiho was also squeezed by the crowd rushing into the elevator, and when she turned around, the boy with gray hair had disappeared.

　Happy Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas to all the grandpas!
