In the hall on a certain floor, the atmosphere was solemn and solemn, and everyone entering and exiting was wearing black clothes.
At the entrance of the hall, there is a standing sign indicating what kind of activities are going on in the hall.
[Memorial gathering of film director Akira Sakemaki]
The famous American actress, Chrissy Wynyard, is currently holding a wine glass, circling among the crowd, and easily dealing with the people who come to talk to her.
"Yes. Mr. Sakemaki is a giant in the film industry. You can see people from TV stations coming to interview him."
Belmore's face was calm, and he was chatting wordlessly with the eager man in front of him.
"Uh...Miss Chris, do you really have no plans to come to Japan to film? We guarantee that we can offer you a price that satisfies you..."
The man tried to persuade the American Hollywood star in front of him who had specially returned to Japan to attend the memorial service of Director Sakemaki.
"I'm not interested. I won't be filming for the time being. I want to take a good rest for a while." Bellmore refused.
When the man saw this, he had no choice but to return in anger.
Belmode's eyes inadvertently glanced at his companion in this operation, the chairman of the automobile company who faced others with a kind face, and was also a member of the organization code-named "Pisco", Fanshan
Kensan.
She knew that the old man was already prepared for the assassination. What she had to do was to accept Gin's entrustment to ensure that the operation went smoothly.
Because the target they want to assassinate this time, Tonkou Shigehiko, is a politician who is closely related to the organization. However, he caused a lot of trouble earlier because of accepting bribes and is about to be arrested by the police.
Before he exposed the organization, the organization decided to take a preemptive strike by assassinating Tonkou Chongyan and blocking his mouth.
Belmore looked around. She had noticed from just now that there was an inexplicable and subtle feeling of weirdness in this hall.
Although there is only a hint of this uneasy feeling, she has always paid attention to and trusted her intuition as a woman.
But after she carefully scanned every corner of the hall, she couldn't find where that feeling came from.
Suddenly, with sharp eyes, she noticed something strange at the door of the hall.
Several men who were obviously not attending the memorial service walked into the hall and stood at a surveillance distance, their eyes fixed on Zhongyan who was surrounded by reporters.
"Heh... from the Metropolitan Police Department?"
Belmore took a sip of wine and glanced at the policemen and the little boy and girl standing beside them out of the corner of his eye...
Just as he was about to look away, Belmore's eyes narrowed and he looked at the very familiar little boy. The face of another high school student naturally appeared in his mind.
"No way..." she murmured to herself.
At this time, the master of ceremonies' voice sounded from the front of the hall.
"Dear guests, let's now enjoy the slides that Director Shigemaki has collected before."
Belmore refreshed himself and forced himself to look away.
She knew that the time had come for Pisco to take action.
In the darkness, she saw in the direction of Pisco, the figure raised his gun and pointed it at the crystal lamp above his head.
“This is the scene from Director Sakemaki’s multi-award-winning masterpiece, [Rainbow Colored Handkerchief]. And it’s an important shot before the director’s hair thinned out!”
Hearing the host's witty words, the guests burst into laughter, completely unaware of what was happening in the darkness.
"Crack!"
A flash suddenly lit up next to the wall, as if someone was taking pictures with a camera.
The emcee smiled and said, "Ah! I don't know who is taking the photo, but you can't take a slideshow with a flash!"
There was another burst of good-natured laughter.
The slideshow continued to play, but strange sounds began to sound in the dark hall.
"Dang! Cang!"
"Clang!!!"
A loud bang hit the center of the hall, startling everyone.
"What's wrong?"
"What is this sound!"
"Turn on the lights!" someone shouted.
The next moment, the lights came on, and everyone looked in the direction of the loud noise.
Soon, everyone's expressions changed.
"Ah——" A shrill scream pierced everyone's eardrums.
I saw a man lying on the ground, blood splattered everywhere, and his body was pressed against the huge crystal lamp hanging from the ceiling of the hall. He was already dead at this time, and he was actually smashed to death!
"What, what's going on?"
Noisy discussions broke out in the hall.
"Everyone, please be quiet! I am Memu from the Metropolitan Police Department! Please stay where you are and don't move!"
The police who came after receiving the alarm that Shigehiko Tonkou was about to be assassinated gathered around him and worked together to remove the crystal lantern and check on Shigehiko Tonkou.
"No, I'm out of breath..." Takagi looked heavy.
Belmore looked at the crowd discussing the death of Tonkou Shigehiko with a cold look, looking for the familiar little boy in the crowd.
Suddenly, a spotlight flashed crazily at the door, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.
Bellmore had to use the flashlight to see the boy at the door at a glance, but due to the case, she could not go to confirm her suspicions for the moment.
In another location in the hall, Kenzo Pisko saw the face of Haibara Ai under the flashlight. The look of disbelief flashed across his face, and he soon returned to his usual image of a kind old man.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that the newly intruded media had attracted others' attention, he took out his laptop, tapped his fingers on the keyboard, and finally typed "Sherry" and pressed Enter.
On the computer screen, that calm face came into view, and Kenzo Masayama opened his eyes wide.
He remembered that face. When Miyano Shiho was a child, he had a good personal relationship with the Miyano couple and had seen her appearance as a child.
Although he didn't know why she turned into a child, after confirming Shirley's appearance in the organization's files, Masayama Kenzo was convinced that the little girl he just saw must be Miyano, who had escaped from the organization and disappeared.
Shiho!
"No wonder Gin and the others couldn't find her. It turns out that..."
Masuyama Kenzo recalled that before the operation, Gin had informed him that Shirley would most likely go to the Abeido City Hotel where he was currently staying, and sure enough it was so!
At this time, reporters from the media were pouring into the hall. Kenzo Mayama secretly sighed, God help me, quietly soaked a handkerchief with anesthetic drugs, and cautiously approached Haibara Ai in the crowd from behind.
Arriving behind the girl, Kensan Masama stopped her from behind and covered her face with a handkerchief.
Seeing that she fell asleep quickly, Masuyama Kenzo breathed a sigh of relief and took advantage of the chaos to carry her out of the lobby and went straight to the hotel's wine cellar.
He did not notice that beside the wall, a man wearing a TV cameraman's uniform who had been watching his movements lowered his eyes slightly, took steps, and followed closely behind him.
