A photo was auctioned for a sky-high price. Although Kensuke knew that Keiko was deliberately raising the price, he still gritted his teeth and bought it.
While complaining that all the money he had saved to buy the helicopter was extorted, Kensuke painfully supervised the complete deletion of the photos by Shizuo Komemon.
Then……
Xiao Ai took out her mobile phone from her pocket and said that it was her turn to auction. Yansuke rolled his eyelids and lost his temper on the spot.
It was a lively lunch, only Kensuke was unhappy, and everyone else was smiling.
Return to the apartment after dinner.
Komemon Shizuo was sending a message to Kaga Ranmaru, asking him to continue tracing the whereabouts of Busujima Kiriko, and then he met Sonoko in the hall who happened to be here looking for Kyogoku.
"Sister~" Sonoko heard the movement behind her and immediately turned around and ran over, jumping into Ayako's arms.
"Okay, okay, I'm still acting like a child. I can't bear to be hit by you." Ayako nodded her forehead in a funny way, "Are you looking for Kyogoku-kun again?"
"Yeah." Yuanzi nodded vigorously, "The Sindora company my family invested in will hold a press conference in the next two days. Let's go and play together then. It sounds very interesting."
"Sindora Company? What does it do?" Ayako obviously didn't pay much attention to it. There were too many industries involved in her family. Even if she wanted to understand, it would be difficult for her to know them all.
As they talked, several people continued to move forward and entered the elevator.
"A cross-generational virtual game! It will change the current structure of the game industry in one fell swoop! It's the kind of game warehouse in science fiction movies~" Yuanzi said and looked at Xiaoai and Mingmei,
"How's it going? Are you looking forward to it? This thing should attract children the most."
Mingmei smiled politely and wasn't too interested, but Xiao Ai was very interested.
"What is the theme of the game? If it is related to history, I would be interested. If it can achieve dialogue with historical figures across time and space, it would be worth looking forward to."
Yuanzi was stunned by her question, "Ah... I don't know much about this. The confidentiality measures are very good, so I didn't ask too much. I only know that the code name of the thing is Cocoon, and there are five scenes in the game."
As she said that, she suddenly touched her chin, "By the way, Dr. Agasa and Shinichi's father, a mystery geek, are also involved in this project. Maybe it's something related to detectives."
Haibara Ai immediately thought, "Detective theme? Could it be the 19th-century Victorian London where Sherlock Holmes lived?"
"Let's go back and get more experience qualifications. I'm also very interested." Shizuo Komemon suddenly said, and when he heard the virtual game warehouse, he understood what it was.
The Dead on Baker Street.
He was deeply impressed by this theatrical version, and even remembered the ending - the artificial intelligence called Noah's Ark wanted to replace the dead genius young developer, and play a game with other children to their heart's content.
Therefore, he felt that there was no danger, as long as he got rid of the psychotic murderer outside the game in advance.
Yuanzi looked at him in surprise, "Are you also interested in such children's things?"
Ayako, who knew Shizuo Komemon very well, was also surprised, but she was happy to see that the former had something he was interested in, and she took the initiative very happily:
"Jingjun is interested? Then I'll call dad to ask for a few spots."
"No, I remember you don't play video games, right? I've also looked through my sister's book, but I don't remember... hmm!"
Before Sonoko finished speaking, Ayako covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Ah, we've reached the floor, let's get out of the elevator first."
Shizuo Komemon glanced at Ayako strangely and said to Sonoko: "You can tell Kyogoku about it later, he should also be interested."
"Huh?" Yuanzi was finally let go by her sister. She shook her head vigorously when she heard this, "It's impossible. Ah Zhen is not that childish."
Mingmei smiled and said: "It's a fighting game, right? If that virtual game can really resemble the real thing, then it may be a good fighting simulation tool.
Although it can’t exercise the body, it should be helpful in training the brain’s reaction and developing some new moves.”
"Yes, in addition to this, you can also compete with martial arts masters from different eras. Kyogoku will definitely be interested." Shizuo Komemon nodded, and then looked at Sonoko.
"Go and take a look at your head when you have time. I feel like it may be rusty and not as flexible as a child."
Sonoko glared at him, then angrily went to find Kyogoku Makoto.
…
At the same time, the Belmoders were already in the Federation and had kidnapped and replaced Sindora's chief engineer, Tadaki Kenmura.
She faced Kenmura Zhongbin and dialed Bourbon's phone number, "I'm already in place and everything is going well. Didn't you make any mistakes?"
"Itakura-san is already in place and can start working at any time. He was a little uncooperative at first, but I still convinced him.
But he didn’t finish the software that he promised before, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”
"Oh?" Bellmode chuckled, "It seems that he still hasn't seen the situation clearly. Kenmura Tadaki has been transported back to Japan. Let's see who of them knows each other better. If it doesn't work, we can only keep one."
It’s barely enough.”
"It's enough this time, but isn't that so-called software project very short of people? Otherwise Gin wouldn't have mentioned it specifically, right?" Toru Amuro tried.
"Those who have been disobedient several times will only make trouble if they stay. Those who cannot recognize their own situation are better off dying." Bermod said coldly.
"..." Anger flashed in Toru Amuro's eyes, and he couldn't help but think of the Miyano sisters, "I understand."
"That's it for now, I have to go and get busy."
Belmod hung up the phone. She was indeed very busy. Although the technical work was mainly supported remotely by Taku Itakura, she still had to show off and avoid looking.
Fortunately, Jiancun Zhongbin has been working alone in the main control room, which provides her with a lot of convenience.
"You should also prepare some qualification badges... just in case that guy doesn't get it. Well, the information mentioned that he seems to have two nieces, so at least two more should be prepared..."
Belmod compared the information provided by Toru Amuro and analyzed the demand quantity. He always wanted to ensure that Shizuo Komemon could enter and play in the game warehouse, otherwise no matter how hard he planned, it would be in vain.
…
At the same time, the Metropolitan Police Department, the Ministry of Public Security, and Yuya Kazami were conducting pre-action training.
"We have received news that Yusaku Kudo, who is suspected of being the first-generation Kaitou Kidd, will return to Japan with the Sindora Group.
Information shows that he participated in the development of the Sindora virtual game project and will show up at the press conference.
There are many important people present at this press conference. We cannot take action at the press conference. If we arrest people after the press conference, they will probably run away.
Therefore, we cannot wait for the press conference. The ambush location this time is at the airport. When he lands, we will immediately bring him back for a surprise interrogation. Do you understand?"
