"Children, please come to the front where you can see more clearly!"
Mio Tokiwa said thoughtfully.
Ayumu, Taimitsuyan, and the other three children followed the other children to the front of the host table. At a glance, they saw Yuan Huaiyu who was devouring food at the table next to him, and Conan and Haibara Ai, who were watching them quietly.
"Eh? Conan, Haibara and Mr. Yuan, aren't you going to play?"
Yuantai asked doubtfully.
"They don't play, I play." Yuan Huaiyu turned sideways, revealing half of the red flag in his pocket.
Tokiwa Mio's voice sounded through the speakers placed in the four corners of the venue:
"Then the game is about to start. After she says it starts, everyone counts to sixty seconds and please raise the flags in your hands."
Secretary Sawaguchi, who was pointed at by her, was holding a stopwatch:
"Ready...start!"
There was almost no sound in the hall at this time. Most people were counting the seconds silently in their hearts. A small number of people who were not involved in the game also kept quiet for fear of disturbing the seconds of others around them.
Conan glanced at Yuan Huaiyu, who was still chewing Yun Dan Feng Qing, and his face twitched.
Sixty seconds is a short period of time. Soon someone counted sixty in their hearts and raised the flag in their hands high.
Throughout the venue, colorful flags were raised one after another, but obviously, they were raised too early, and the current timer did not reach sixty seconds.
Yuan Huaiyu put the last piece of tender and juicy beef on the plate into his mouth, put his fork on the plate, and took out the small red flag from his pocket with his free right hand.
He burped and raised the red flag in his hand.
"Okay! The guest over there with the blue flag, and the guest next to me with the red flag... please come to the front!"
The moment Mio Tokiwa saw Secretary Sawaguchi giving him the time signal, he saw two flags, one blue and one red, raised at the same time.
Everyone immediately understood that these two people were the participants who had accurately counted to sixty seconds, and looked at these two people either calmly or in annoyance.
"Dad! Mr. Yuan!"
Xiaolan exclaimed. She didn't expect that the winner of this game would be these two people.
"It's a lie... wasn't he eating all the time just now..." Conan looked at Yuan Huaiyu who slowly lowered the flag in shock, his eyes widening in disbelief.
In his eyes, his teacher, Mr. Yuan, could accurately count seconds even after the timer started without stopping his mouth movements. He felt that even Uncle Mouri's ability to count pairs was not so surprising.
"You're blind, you're lucky." Yuan Huaiyu glanced at him with a smile, wiped his mouth, and walked towards the host's stage.
On the other side, Mouri Kogoro also walked out of the crowd and was stunned when he saw Yuan Huaiyu holding a red flag in his hand.
"Mr. Yuan?"
His momentum, which had been so full of energy that he must win the guessing game, stagnates.
"Ah, Detective Maori, it turns out it's you." Yuanhuaiyu pretended not to know that Kogoro Maori would become the lucky one and said hello to him.
"Okay, we now have two winners, so who can win the sports car? Let's wait and see..."
Mio Tokiwa watched the two people standing beside her, one on the left and one on the right, skillfully adjusting the atmosphere and turning the guests from disappointment to curiosity about who was the final winner.
Yuan Huaiyu and Uncle Maoli were pulled by her to stand face to face on the podium, about to begin a decisive game of guessing.
"Rock, scissors..."
Suddenly, Mouri Kogoro heard Yuanhuaiyu's subtle and rapid voice ringing in his ears:
"You give me scissors and I give you paper!"
"Cloth!" Tokiwa Mio ordered.
Distracted by Yuan Huaiyu's words, Maori Kogoro subconsciously followed Yuan Huaiyu's words and showed off his scissors.
Before he could react, he looked up and saw Yuan Huaiyu on the opposite side with his fingers spread wide. It was astonishing that the cloth was coming out just as he said.
"We congratulate the famous detective Mr. Kogoro Mori for winning our grand prize, a sports car!"
She looked at Yuan Huaiyu again: "This gentleman is very sorry."
"It's okay, congratulations to Detective Maori." Yuanhuaiyu's expression showed no regrets at failing to achieve success, but instead he sincerely wished Maori Kogoro.
"Ah...ah?" Uncle Maori finally came to his senses and found that he had become the owner of a sports car inexplicably.
He looked at Yuan Huaiyu and found that the young man was just looking at him with a smile, as if the words he just said had not been spoken.
Mio Tokiwa, who was closest, looked as usual, and it seemed that she did not hear what Yuan Huaiyu said.
【What a good young man who is indifferent to fame and fortune!】
At this moment, Maori Kogoro figured out a lot - Yuanhuaiyu was willing to hand over this sports car to his more needy senior, rather than choose to fight with him for a 50% chance.
His evaluation of Yuanhuaiyu instantly rose by several levels.
"Now, please, Mr. Mori, please give your acceptance speech!" Mio Tokiwa handed the microphone to her senior.
Mouri Kogoro rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment: "Now I can finally say goodbye to my car rental career..."
On the other side, Yuan Huaiyu stepped down from the stage, and Bu Meiyu, Tai Guangyan and three others immediately surrounded him.
"Ah! Teacher Yuan, what a pity!"
"Yeah, yeah, we're just close to getting a sports car!"
"Damn it, that uncle is so lucky!"
Conan looked at the three people who were trying to comfort Yuan Huaiyu, his eyes twitched, and he thought: "Huh... For this person, having one more sports car and one less sports car doesn't seem to have any impact..."
Yuan Huaiyu pretended to be sorry and talked to the three little ones, but he was laughing in his heart.
[This sports car... I remember that it will complete its important mission tonight and then be scrapped immediately...]
[If it really belongs to me, then I won’t have to worry about it for a while...it’s better to just get the mountain bike safely.]
He was thinking a little bit evilly.
Finally, the game came to an end, and the banquet continued, and was about to advance to the next program, which was to display Ruyue Fengshui's latest paintings.
Previously, Tokiwa Mio also boasted about Haikou, saying that you can see Mount Fuji at night from the Twin Towers. She was referring to this Japanese painting of Mount Fuji created by her teacher.
It was this painting that would have killed her.
In the darkness, Minesui Kisaragi changed the pearl necklace around her neck to an identical pearl necklace hanging on a hook, and then followed the whereabouts of the picture of Mount Fuji and was hanged in front of the painting.
The upright corpse divides Mount Fuji in the painting into two, which is a metaphor for the twin skyscrapers that block the view of Mount Fuji.
Fortunately, that scary and absurd scene should not happen today.
Yuan Huaiyu felt that he could hold the bicycle with ease.
