Chapter 1703 Invitation to the Black Tea Conference
"I hope there will be a good result."
Looking at the taxi gradually going away, Xiaolan retracted her gaze, turned around and looked at the Black Rabbit Pavilion again, and prayed heartily.
"Don't worry, Sister Lan, everything will develop in a good direction!" Conan said with a smile.
"Yes, it's fortunate that Mr. Amuro is a friend."
Xiaolan originally wanted to say her name, but found that the other party did not introduce herself. After a pause, she continued: "I found out about Mr. Butler's poisoning in advance."
"After all, I'm sitting next to him."
Kizaru smiled and said: "After his glasses were broken, I was afraid that he could not see clearly, so I kept paying attention to his movements.
That's why I immediately discovered that the alarm sound was caused by him.
I think at that time he probably wanted to use the siren to create a little commotion and attract everyone's attention so that he could poison Miss Asakura's wine glass.
But because he was not nearsighted, he didn't see it. I kept paying attention to him and happened to see the whole process."
"So that's it!"
Xiaolan suddenly said: "You are really a caring gentleman. If you hadn't been thinking about the other person all the time and couldn't see it, I'm afraid there would be no way to prevent the tragedy from happening."
"It's just good luck." Tang Ze scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
"Lansang, are you going home next?"
Toru Amuro, who was on the side, saw the conversation between the two and couldn't wait for a long time, so he asked Xiaolan, wanting to distract the other party so that they could talk.
"Yes, we will go back later."
Conan on the side also had the same thought, so he followed Toru Amuro's words and continued: "Brother Amuro, you will have a party later, so let's separate here."
"Yes." Toru Amuro nodded: "Goodbye then."
"Goodbye, you two." Xiaolan smiled and waved her hand after hearing this, and then took Conan's hand and left.
After watching the people leave, Toru Amuro retracted his gaze and turned to look at the frivolous man in front of him: "Can we talk now?"
Amuro Toru's eyes were sharp and scrutinizing: "Why did you come to me all the time?"
"Of course it's a good thing."
Kizaru smiled and said: "To put it simply, I came here to clear up your doubts."
"What do you mean?" Amuro Toru's expression changed, and she stared at the man in front of her and said in a deep voice.
"literal meaning."
Kizaru picked up a cup with a frivolous expression and said with a smile: "Weren't you testing before and this time?
In this case, in order to show sincerity, I plan to invite you to the black tea salon and meet two people.
And they will give you the answer."
"oh?"
Toru Amuro raised his eyebrows: "If you say that, then I'm a little interested. When is the time set?"
"Tonight, now." Kizaru smiled: "It's just you and me, and it's precisely because of this that I will appear there."
"Understood."
When Toru Amuro heard Kizaru's words, he understood the reason why the other party appeared there, which was to catch him "off guard" and stop him from taking Yuya Kazami and others with him.
As for his whereabouts, it is no secret that Conan has a relationship with the other party. Thinking of Conan's previous request to join him, it is obvious that he is preparing for this invitation.
And when the other party does this, he naturally hopes to meet him alone.
However, he didn't have any objections. After all, the other party had expressed sincerity, so naturally he would respond in a reciprocal manner.
As for safety issues, he didn't feel worried at all.
Regardless of what they may have planned in private, cooperation between them is the general trend, so there is no need to worry about teammates stabbing each other in the back.
"Then without further ado, let's go."
Kizaru got up and went out first, while Toru Amuro followed him, and the two cars set off towards their destination one after the other.
Following Kizaru, Toru Amuro looked at the increasingly familiar road conditions and couldn't help but frown.
Because the place the other party took him to seemed to be the Kudo family's mansion.
'Why do we meet here?'
Toru Amuro frowned, but without any hesitation, he parked the car and got out of the car.
"come in."
After knocking on the door, Kizaru opened the door directly, turned around and shouted behind him, then took the lead to enter the room.
Toru Amuro entered shortly after him, and after following his footsteps to the living room, he saw the three people sitting on the sofa.
One of them is Akai Shuichi who has taken off his disguise.
Seeing the other person's face, Toru Amuro would still burst out with instinct like a conditioned reflex, but he would soon calm down.
Because he already knew the truth behind his friend's death, and he also understood that he was just venting his anger.
The other two are a couple. Judging from the seats next to each other and the unconscious physical contact between the two, it is very possible that the two are closely related and are a couple.
"Hello, welcome to Humble House."
Just when Toru Amuro glanced at the three of them and was thinking about how to speak, the elegant man said with a smile: "Please sit down."
"Would you like a cup of black tea?"
The beautiful woman said in a lively tone: "Do you want to add lemon or milk?"
After hearing what the two said, Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment. When he walked to the sofa and sat down, he was still digesting the meaning of the man's words in his mind.
‘Come to the humble house, he is the owner of this mansion’
Toru Amuro's eyes wandered over the two people, and he immediately recognized their identities: 'Mr. and Mrs. Kudo!'
After realizing this, Toru Amuro subconsciously flashed through Kizaru's previous words in his mind.
He thought about the targets of his two investigations, the people he told the other party to bring him to see him sincerely, and the information he obtained from the investigation.
All of this seemed to be confirmed at this moment.
It seems that the truth is the answer to my own reasoning!
But after Toru Amuro realized this, not only did he not feel like the stone had finally fallen to the ground, but he became even more horrified.
Because if this is really the case, then how did Kudo Shinichi become Conan?
Why did a young man who was about to become an adult suddenly become a primary school student?
Toru Amuro, who knew all the secrets of the organization, immediately thought of the drugs the organization was researching, and his thoughts became more and more distant for a while.
But the good Toru Amuro also knew that this was not the place to dwell on these things, so after being stunned for a few seconds, he quickly collected his thoughts and concentrated on the next conversation.
"Add milk, thank you."
At this moment, Toru Amuro had relaxed a little. He smiled at Kudo Yukiko and ordered a cup of black tea with milk.
At this moment, he was no longer so defensive, because after entering the door, the other party had already taken the lead in showing sincerity.
He had been testing it before, but he never got an answer.
But now the other party actually expresses sincerity in this way. This makes Toru Amuro feel that he is further trusted. At the same time, he also becomes more and more curious about the purpose of the sudden invitation.
"Thanks."
Taking the black tea from Yukiko Kudo, Toru Amuro took a sip and said, "Good tea."
"Really? As long as you like it." Kudo Yukiko said with a smile.
Toru Amuro smiled and quickly put the black tea on the coffee table. After looking around at everyone, he said seriously: "Well, now you can tell me why you went to such trouble to call me here."
"The first thing is to further deepen the relationship between us~"
Kizaru's tone was still frivolous: "Of course, it's just a personal relationship between us and has nothing to do with the forces behind it."
When Toru Amuro heard this, his face was calm and his eyes were unperturbed.
This is too normal. If the information they jointly do is leaked, their lives will be lost. Individual cooperation can still be kept secret, but if they lead such a large group of people, these people in front of them will naturally be unwilling.
After all, even Shuichi Akai faked his death to escape, and then cooperated with people from the Zoo organization in order to avoid a traitor and cause the operation to fail.
"What about the second step?" Toru Amuro asked.
"Of course I'm ready and starting to fight back!"
At this moment, Kizaru's frivolous words resounded in everyone's ears, but they seemed so murderous: "This time, we will never allow another failure!"
[Black Rabbit Pavilion Poisoning Case]
Completion: Excellent
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the prop fire extinguishing bomb]
Evaluation: In this case, you participated in the case as someone else, and when the prisoner was about to cause a catastrophe, you prevented the case from happening in advance and prevented things from developing in a worse direction.
After the conversation at the Kudo family mansion.
Tangze drove to the safe house and changed back into his original clothes before returning home.
Since it was already very late after the conversation, Tang Ze and the two went to rest directly after washing up.
It was only then that he had time to open the panel, and what he saw was the settlement of the rewards for this case.
After scanning the evaluations, Tangze found that there were no evaluations related to the main plot, so he set his sights on the rewards for this case.
In fact, when he saw that the completion level was "excellent", Tangze was already mentally prepared that the reward for this case might not be very good.
But what he didn't expect was that after reading the introduction of this system, he felt that the rewards this time were pretty good, even better than the sometimes perfect level rewards.
Of course, this good thing is not about technology, but about practicality.
[Fire extinguishing bomb: grenade-style fire extinguishing equipment, which can extinguish flames within 3 meters]
To put it simply, this prop is a disposable fire-fighting equipment that can extinguish flames.
Technologically speaking, it cannot compare with props above the perfect level, but it has only made great efforts in terms of efficiency and portability.
But it is undeniable that this thing can also save lives.
There are still many bomb cases in Kexue's world, and once there is an explosion, it is inevitable that a fire will break out, and the subsequent fire spread may be even more harmful than the explosion.
Because of this, this thing may become his most commonly used prop in bombing cases in the future.
The key is that the price is cheap enough, only 300 destiny points. It can be said that there are few more affordable and high-quality items in his item list.
After counting the rewards this time, Tang Ze quickly emptied his mind and went to sleep.
After all, I was really tired today. First I acted to prevent the case, and then I took Toru Amuro to the Kudo family mansion for a long talk.
Of course, there are also a lot of gains. Whether the plot follows the original plot or there are some changes that require them to take the initiative, Tang Ze has laid out all the plans in this conversation.
This is why Karasawa still wants to ask the Kudo couple to meet Toru Amuro even though he has changed the relationship between Shuichi Akai and Toru Amuro.
Although they are both "black tea meetings", the contents of the discussions are completely different.
Overall, everything went smoothly and everyone was well prepared for the subsequent battle.
Of course, you have to make preparations for the specific time and find a suitable actual implementation.
These days, Tang Ze is still living his daily life step by step.
But how can a busy man like him be free? After all, he is involved in various fields.
No, there was no case on Karasawa's side, but people from the Mystery Writers Association found him and hoped that he could attend as an award guest to present awards to this year's winners.
Tang Ze's mystery novels have won awards before, so the other party asked him to be the award guest as a inheritance, and it was really difficult for Tang Ze to refuse.
After thinking about it, Tang Ze realized that there seemed to be no urgent matters recently, so he agreed.
And he also specially bought the mystery novel "The Legend of the Wilderness Murder Case" by this year's winner, Mimi Kuwano, to see the level of this year's winner.
"Senior, did you buy a new mystery novel?"
Putting the black tea in front of Karasawa, Koshimi Nanatsuki couldn't help but complain: "Obviously my daily life is like the protagonist in a mystery novel, why do I still love reading mystery novels so much?"
"This is the work that the Writers Association invited me to present awards to this year's winners, so I naturally want to take a look."
Hearing this, Tang Ze rolled his eyes and said, "If the writing is terrible, wouldn't it mean that I would be scolded as well?"
"What's the result?" Koshizui Nanatsuki asked curiously after hearing this: "How was this book?"
"not bad."
Karasawa finished reading the last page and handed the book to Koshimi Nanatsuki: "Although the writing style is a little immature, considering that it is the first book and I am a college student, it is already very good.
No wonder the "Best Mystery Novel Award" will be awarded to him this year."
"Listen to what you say, then I'm going to give it a good read." Koshimizu Nanatsuki took the book from Karasawa's hand and said with a smile.
"If you want an autograph after reading it, let me know in advance." Tang Ze said, "I will go get it for you then."
"Okay, okay." Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded absently, but kept his eyes on the book.
Although she complained that her days spent solving crimes in the Metropolitan Police Department were like a mystery novel, she herself could not escape the law of "really good fragrance".
After just watching the beginning, she quickly entered the perspective of the protagonist and became fascinated by it.
Upon seeing this, Tang Ze did not disturb the other party again. After drinking the cup of black tea, he left the office directly.
Since Koshimi Nanatsuki is sitting in the office on duty, he can skip work directly.
