A grand cocktail party is being held at a five-star hotel called Mancai next to Kabukicho.
The reception was a charity foundation organized by a respected congressman, but there was no need to think too much... There would be no problem with this foundation if the word "charity" was removed from the front.
But at this reception, most of the prominent figures in Tokyo circles were already present, ranging from representatives of various financial groups to dignitaries from various organizations in Tokyo.
Hoshino Mirai was also dragged to this boring cocktail party because of her mother's entertainment.
However, she did not follow her mother everywhere to chat. Instead, she hid in the corner of the reception and secretly exchanged some important information with Hyakukiin Ikuyo.
Hyakkiin Ikuyo came here just to drink wine, while others were holding wine glasses there while chatting and sipping them elegantly.
Miss Ikudai took a whole bottle and poured it into her mouth, just like a drunkard.
Hoshino Mirai respects this senior...part of the reason is that Hyakkiin Ikuyo has reached a level in the detective profession that Hoshino Mirai has not been able to reach.
That is the psychic level, or the inspiration level.
This level is an extra level above the existing detective level. Basically, detectives who can get this title have solved one or two unsolved mysteries in the world.
"Then he should at least try, right?"
Ikuyo Hyakkiin added some explanations and then motioned to Hoshino Mirai to continue looking at the following photos.
Hoshino Mirai waved goodbye to Hyakukiin Ikuyo and said.
The technological development of this world is very strange, which can be seen from Nobuo Aozaki's ability to extract the dragon's blood brain-refreshing potion.
Hyakkiin Ikuyo took another sip of expensive whiskey and continued.
After that, they announced a plan called "Quick Adult". Unfortunately, this plan was too ethically challenging and its success rate was too low. It was unable to be mass-produced and died prematurely.
This is what the Black Sea Biotechnology Association published in the early years... "What will happen if the human growth cycle reaches the same level as that of dogs, cats, and cows?" to the outside world.
"I will find a suitable opportunity to ask, and I care more about what that guy is doing now than this..."
Hyakkiin Ikuyo shook his head and rejected Hoshino Mirai's speculation.
"Miss, Madam asked you to come over... there is an important official from the Metropolitan Police Department who wants to see you and wants to talk to you about Mr. Hayato Koba."
"The "Black Sea Biotechnology Association-Quick Adult Training Plan", wasn't this plan stopped ten years ago?"
“Very marketable…”
When Ikuyo Hyakkiin said this, he pointed at Hoshino Mirai and asked like a big sister on a quiz show with prizes.
Most of the photos placed in the file bag are photos related to Ye Shun. To be precise, they are photos of Xiao Ye Hayato when he was in high school.
"Then this is what happened when classmate Xiaoye killed the four congressmen. Although the four congressmen were in the VIP room of the opera house when they died, there was only one exit, so it was considered a secret room murder."
It can be seen from these photos that Hayato Koba's physical fitness is definitely not what an ordinary male high school student should have.
"During the past two hours, Xiaoye did not choose to run away. Instead, he stayed in the private room as if nothing was wrong, waiting until the security guards and the police noticed something was wrong."
"Is it possible that the security outside was too tight, so he gave up?"
"He served as secretary of the student union during his two years of high school. He is also very low-key in school. This low-key seems to be deliberately concealing his... unusual physical fitness."
“Now let’s take a guess, which industry is the most profitable for such a ‘commodity’?”
"The killer...and..."
Out of kindness, Ikuyo Hyakkiin also reminded Hoshino Mirai not to believe too much in such illusory information.
"But the strange thing is that there was a gap of two hours between Xiaoye's murder of the four congressmen, the congressman's security personnel, and the police finding out."
Hoshino Mirai had heard about this terrible plan.
Hoshino Mirai listened silently to the senior's case narration, and briefly thought about why Koba Hayato didn't run away.
"When the police arrested him, he didn't even resist, as if he had accepted his fate... Or maybe he felt that his life had come to an end?
Hoshino Mirai quickly thought of this possibility, but the reasoning queen followed the clue of the killer and thought of a more terrifying possibility!
That's what the detectives would solve if murder became a business...
In Ye Shun's original world, technology that seemed like science fiction no matter how you think about it, has already entered the category of 'experimentation' in this world.
Hoshino Mirai looked at this plan report that touched on the concept of ethics in life.
Moreover, Hayato Kobayashi in these photos was taken accidentally, rather than specifically shooting him.
Now I specially bring it here to share it with my juniors who are also interested in Ye Xuan.
Two of them are photos of Koba Hayato's ascension to help the president standing on the podium block a volleyball during the sports festival, and the moment when he was participating in a borrowed object race and could easily jump to a height of one and a half meters.
As a senior detective, Mirai Hoshino considers such cruel scenes to be childish.
“Is sports universal…?”
"What's the motive?" Mirai Hoshino still couldn't figure it out. Even though Hayato Koba was living such a happy campus life, why did he choose to kill someone?
"I can't figure out the motive, but some of the information behind it can give a possible result, but don't believe it all in the future, because this is just a possibility I guessed." Hyakkiin Yushiro didn't have it either.
Draw a conclusion on Hayato Koba's motive for committing the murder.
But Hyakkiin Ikuyo handed this information to her, which shows that this plan may still be carried out secretly.
In this unexpected situation, Ikuyo Hyakkiin found some very interesting photos.
Maybe the success rate is extremely low and mass production cannot be achieved on a large scale, but even if it can only be cultivated on a small scale...
Hoshino Mirai hurriedly looked through the intelligence documents at the back, and what he saw... made Hoshino Mirai experience what is called an "information explosion".
Unfortunately, before Hoshino Mirai could reason out this possibility, her assistant and part-time housekeeper of the Hoshino family, Mr. Fangtian, came over.
Ikuyo Hyakkiin recently conducted an in-depth investigation into Hayato Koba's life in high school, and found many interesting details.
The photo at the back is the murder scene when Hayato Koba committed the crime. The photo is full of corpses and blood-stained scenes.
Ikuyo Hyakkiin handed a document bag to Hoshino Mirai. Hoshino Mirai did not dare to neglect and took the document bag and carefully looked at the contents inside.
"Don't be too insistent, little Mirai. Let me say it again, this information may not be true. If you really want to know the motive of Xiaoye's murder, just grab him by the collar and ask him when you have time.
"
Hoshino Mirai opened these photos and took a look. Most of the content in the photos were taken during the school festival and sports festival.
"..."
"Little Future... almost all the things you asked me to check are here. Although I can't make a conclusion yet, at least I can sort out a thread."
"Maybe it was just officially stopped? On the one hand, it may be due to the production volume, but this thing is very marketable now..." Ikuyo Hyakkiin said, taking another sip of the whiskey in his hand.
Upon hearing these words, Hoshino Mirai's originally inspired expression suddenly dropped.
"Ikuyo-senpai...I will study the information you gave me carefully when I get back." Mirai Hoshino said after handing the document bag to his assistant.
"It only takes three years from birth to grow into... an average person's appearance of sixteen or seventeen years old, and the appearance and physical performance can be fixed at the peak of youth and strength. The price is that the average life span is only ten years."
"Maybe I can find out about it from my mother. I'll see you next time, Ikudai-senpai."
Hyakkiin Ikuyo narrowed his eyes and waved goodbye to Hoshino Mirai.
After Hoshino Mirai left, Ikuyo Hyakkiin looked at the big shots in Tokyo who were still enjoying themselves at the banquet. He opened another bottle of expensive red wine for himself and turned his head... looking out the huge floor-to-ceiling window at the neon-lit night view of Kabukicho and murmured.
