"It's the same day as the opening ceremony of the World Experience Exhibition."
Kuroda Biewei put his hands in his trouser pockets and murmured in a deep voice.
Qin Zhibo next to him was stunned for a moment after hearing these words.
Today is July 21st, and three days later it will be July 24th, which is also the exact date for the opening of the World Sports Expo.
If according to Kuroda Hei's statement, the dates of these days are actually consecutive?
…
Tokyo, Shibahama View Hotel.
In the lobby on the top floor of the hotel, a grand banquet for the major sponsors of the Tokyo World Sports Games is being held.
Conan, the three little ones and Mao Lilan were invited by Suzuki Sonoko and also came to the banquet.
On the stage, the publicist of this WSG and the conductor of the vacuum superconducting maglev train were introducing the itinerary of this train to everyone.
It's just that Conan already got first-hand information from Kudo Yusaku yesterday, so this trip arrangement is no longer unusual for him.
Similarly, the three little ones standing next to Conan also silently looked at the two female commentators on the stage, their faces drooped, showing no interest at all.
"What's wrong?"
"It's rare for me to invite you to such an occasion. Why are you brats so depressed today?"
Suzuki Sonoko, who was wearing a black and white waist skirt, pinched her waist and looked at the three little ones, raising her eyebrows and asked.
Next to her, Mao Lilan put her hands behind her back and explained with a smile: "It should be that Xiao Ai and Dr. A Li have gone out to participate in a scientific research activity these days, so these children feel a little bored, right?"
Conan has not yet told Mao Lilan about Haihara Ai's kidnapping. Instead, he made an excuse and told the three little ones not to tell it.
Because he felt that if he told Mao Lilan about this matter, Mao Lilan would definitely become worried because of his kindness.
But in fact, no matter how worried Mao Lilan was, she could not immediately rescue Hui Yuan Ai.
"Ah? Dr. Ali took that little girl to participate in scientific research activities?"
"Don't you feel a little strange?"
Yuanzi complained casually, but did not take it seriously and continued: "By the way, Xiaolan, did you observe the venue carefully just now?"
"Ah?" Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
The corners of Yuanzi's mouth were slightly raised, her eyes were shining, and she whispered into Xiaolan's ear: "I saw a very handsome boy over there just now..."
As Mao Lilan followed Yuanzi, she also turned her gaze in that direction, and sure enough she saw a handsome boy with brown hair wearing a black suit.
The boy's face was somewhat similar to Kudo Shinichi, which made Mao Lilan subconsciously stunned.
However, if you take a closer look, there are still some differences from Kudo Shinichi.
Conan also cast his gaze in that direction and was also stunned for a moment.
This person is...
At this moment, the lights on the ceiling suddenly went out, and the entire venue fell into darkness.
The crowd who were changing glasses suddenly burst into a questioning uproar.
Power outage?
still……
Conan frowned slightly and subconsciously looked around, only to see a blue-purple light suddenly appear among the crowd like lightning.
The moment the light source suddenly appeared, I seemed to see a broad back in a white suit.
What light is that?
Conan, who had a premonition in his heart, immediately turned on the flashlight function of his watch and raised his leg to move in that direction.
When I arrived at the location in my memory, I found that the back figure and light source I just saw had disappeared.
Conan took the light source of a watch-shaped flashlight and shined it around, trying to find some clues.
Suddenly, a big hand quietly approached him from behind and pressed on the young shoulder.
Conan suddenly turned around and shined the light of the flashlight into the other person's face, only to find that this was the person whom Sonoko had just committed nymphomania. Of course, Conan knew this person.
Because he is the high school detective who appeared in the Twilight Annex incident before - Detective White Horse.
"Conan?"
Bai Ma Tanzheng was surprised when the emergency lights on the ceiling suddenly turned on.
All the guests in the venue suddenly exclaimed.
And in this dim light, not far away, a short-haired lady with tear moles at the corners of her eyes was calling to the surroundings.
"Shirou? Where are you?"
"Shiro..."
Conan turned around and immediately recognized the woman as Suzuki Sonoko's mother, Suzuki Tomoko.
The two hurried over, and Hakuba asked: "Mrs. Suzuki, what happened?"
Tomoko Suzuki turned her head and saw that the young man in front of her looked familiar, but she couldn't think of where she had seen him before.
But she didn't pay attention and quickly told her situation.
It turned out that Suzuki Shiro was still standing next to her during the power outage just now.
As a result, the emergency lights are now on, but Suzuki Shiro is missing.
As soon as these words came out, Detective Baima and Conan frowned, immediately thinking of the strange flash they saw in this direction in the darkness just now.
This is also the reason why the two of them came here at the same time.
Could this be...
Conan and Detective Baima raised their chins in unison, and after thinking for a moment, they said: "It's better to call the police first..."
…
After a while, the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section 1 arrived at the scene.
Since the missing person was the president of the Suzuki Consortium, the largest conglomerate in Japan today, Officer Megure personally led the team and quickly sealed off the entire hotel, prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting.
However, despite this, Suzuki Shiro was still not found.
There was no response to the hotel's radio call, and the phone could not be connected.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Officer Megu said with his chin raised: "In this case, it may be a kidnapping case with the purpose of extorting ransom..."
"Go immediately and investigate all vehicles leaving the hotel during this time."
"yes!"
Sato and Takagi accepted the order and were about to leave.
But a figure appeared behind the two of them, blocking their way.
"Mr. Police Officer, I think there is no need to rush to search the outside of the hotel just yet..."
"If my timing is correct, the entire power outage lasted a total of 30.245 seconds."
"The murderer took advantage of the darkness of the entire venue to use a stun gun to stun President Suzuki, and then moved the unconscious President Suzuki out of the venue."
"But in such a short period of time, it is impossible for the murderer to move President Suzuki out of this hotel."
"So President Suzuki must still be in this hotel now..."
Officer Megure, Sato, and Takagi took a closer look and saw a handsome young man in a black suit walking towards them.
He looks a bit like Kudo Shinichi, but if you look closely, he has a different temperament from Kudo Shinichi.
"Who are you?" Sato asked warily.
"My name is Detective White Horse, and I am a slightly famous detective."
White Horse Detective?
When the three of them heard this name, they all felt familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere.
Especially this last name, it sounds like it makes people want to salute.
