Chapter 60 Charity Dinner

Chapter 60 Charity Dinner
"If it was an ordinary dinner party, she would not be invited."

Conan looked at her and said, "You should know who 'she' is, right?"

"Chris? Isn't she the daughter of the famous star Sharon?"

Conan's mouth twitched: Did you hear this information from somewhere and then try to scare me?
"Is not it?"

Qinghai Chuantang was puzzled for a moment, "If you mean Belmode, I might know."

"But since it says 'Chris', then she is just 'Chris', not Vermouth."

She distinguished the two clearly.

It's like Kudo Shinichi and Conan are the same person.

But for Qinghai Chuantang, when Conan's body appears, he is Conan; when Kudo Shinichi's body appears, he is Kudo Shinichi.

If you confuse the two, the first thing you think of is a child who looks 6 or 7 years old, but has the soul of a 17-year-old boy, and then acts cute and coquettish in various ways.

Just thinking about it gives me a chill.

Conan put on a serious expression. After all, he had to be fully prepared to face the Black Organization.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may easily fall into danger.

"Sister Xiaotang, you once said that you were from that organization. Since you didn't attack us, you must have defected from that organization, right?"

"If that's the case, then you and Vermouth should have met before. So, could this be a conspiracy?"

After all, the organization has never been tolerant of traitors.

This is the truth that Conan summed up.

"So what you mean is that Mr. Aoi is also a member of that organization? Because he knew that I was a traitor, he specially invited me to go?"

Conan nodded, "It's possible. But I don't feel the feeling of a member of the organization in him."

"So inviting you might just be a coincidence, and their target is someone else."

Qinghai Chuantang comforted him: "Since we are here, we should make the best of it. Moreover, although Vermouth and I know each other's code names, we have never met each other."

"So their target will not be me. And in their eyes, my identity should be in a state of 'dead'."

Besides, you once saved Vermouth, so even if something really happened, she wouldn't have the heart to harm you.

But if it were someone else, it wouldn't be the same.

It is actually very easy for a child to sneak into a dinner party, not to mention that Conan has the advantage of height.

Qinghai Chuantang, relying on the fact that he had never met Vermouth, walked around the venue in a swagger, tasting the exquisite little cake on the table.

"Ms. Tang, you look very beautiful today. No, I mean, you seem to be more charming than before."

After all, the difference between clear soup noodles and red soup noodles is more than just in appearance.

A little makeup is the best way to enhance your appearance without covering up too much and making it look fake and exaggerated.

"Write more praises from Mr. Aoi."

Qinghai Chuantang smiled and held up the cake. "This time the tiramisu is just the right amount of sweetness. Very good. Thank you."

After looking around, Qinghai Chuantang felt something strange.

"Didn't they say that the daughter of the famous star Sharon would come? But I didn't see her."

"It seems that I have something urgent to do, so I can't come. But the person who will give a speech later is a very famous novelist recently. You may also be interested in it."

"A famous novelist recently?"

Akagawa Aoi smiled and nodded, "Yes. His latest book is called "The Collision of Red and Black", and it became a bestseller as soon as it was put on the shelves. It's a pity that it's hard to find a copy now, otherwise I would also like to buy one and read it."

The author of the book "The Collision of Red and Black" is Shungen Tomita.

The book tells the story of how a traitor to an organization successfully faked his death and escaped with the help of a detective.

"Although I'm not a detective fan, I like to read all kinds of books. It enriches my reading."

At this time, a man came over and whispered something in his ear.

"I'm sorry Miss Tang, I have to continue preparing the cake now, so I'll excuse myself first."

And that man was actually a clerk at SMW cake shop, after all, they were both wearing the same clothes.

Shortly after the two left, Qinghai Chuantang received a message from Conan -

"I know who their target is. It's the novelist."

Thanks to the bug placed on Qinghai Chuantang's clothes, he heard it all.

As one of the participants, Conan naturally understood the outline of the story.

This is not a simple story, and it is obvious that the novelist named "Shungen Tomita" knows something.

If they cannot win over the other party, the Black Organization will usually kill them.

But, if the content inside is really what he thinks, then wouldn’t Mr. Akai be in danger?

Conan used his mobile phone to search for information about the book on the Internet, but all he got was a message that the book was sold out.

The product picture shows a thick-looking book.

The cover has a contrasting red and black color scheme, and the name of the book is printed on it, which fits the theme of the title very well, and the two really do collide with each other.

But the question now is how they will do it.

How can he save him? It's not good to just run up to the other party and say that someone wants to kill him, right?

What's more, it was just a child's words, and the other party would just treat it as a prank.

The lights suddenly dimmed.

No one was surprised by this situation.

The spotlight shone on the stage, and a man wearing black round-frame glasses and looking somewhat plump walked onto the stage and stood in front of the microphone.

The slicked-back hairstyle made him look taller.

But compared with his body shape, it seems a little disproportionate.

"Good evening, dear guests and friends. I am Shungen Tomita, the author of the novel "The Collision of Red and Black"."

"This book has been very popular among readers recently. I am also honored to be invited to be the special guest of this charity dinner today."

"So, I decided to donate all the proceeds from my debut novel to help those in need."

There was warm applause from the audience.

Qinghai Chuantang couldn't help but applaud him. He didn't know whether he had a mine at home or was just too kind.

"Because writing is just a hobby, I don't care how much I get paid."

"I have decided to donate all the royalties from my next book to charity to benefit the public."

“I hope you will support my new work, “The Shrinking Detective”. It tells the story of a famous detective who is fed an unknown drug and becomes smaller.”

"Although it contains a bit of fantasy, the plot is based on the lines of a mystery novel."

"After all, my idol is the world-famous mystery novelist 'Yusaku Kudo'."

This is not a charity party at all, and their target is not even Shunyuan Tomita.

Because their target is the famous detective who has become smaller, former Kudo Shinichi, now Edogawa Conan!
run!
run--

Conan felt as if his whole body had fallen into an ice cave. He couldn't move at all, as if he was fixed there.

The only thing to be thankful for is that where I am now is safe.

If his reasoning was correct, then Akagawa Aoi was the member that had not yet been revealed: Malt Whiskey.

Single Malt Whisky, abbreviated as SMW.

And this happens to be the name of his cake shop.

From the very beginning, he made his identity known and even showed up in a swagger.

The Shungen Tomita on the stage might not be himself, or the name and identity might be fabricated.

The actress Chris did not appear at the scene. So it is very likely that the character Shungen Tomita was actually played by Vermouth!

"Run! Danger!"

Conan sent a text message to the other party's mobile phone.

But in this kind of situation, everyone's cell phones are on silent.

The screen lit up instantly and then went out quickly. Because the phone was in the pocket, no one noticed this.

Otherwise, it would be particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

trap
From the moment the postcard was sent, it was a trap.

Conan realized that something was wrong and prepared to contact Dr. Agasa for rescue.

But at this moment, I suddenly received a text message.

"Little Conan, the event is over, it's time to go home."

There is also a smiley face with emoticon at the end.

Comparing the text messages the other party had sent him in the past, Conan was somewhat suspicious that this was not sent by her.

"hateful!"

Conan lowered his voice. The bug seemed to have been destroyed, leaving only noise.

So could it be that she has been?
"Little Conan, are you sure you don't want to come out? If you don't come out, I'm going back."

"Nothing happened here, except that the novelist forgot he was allergic to strawberries and accidentally ate the strawberry cake and was sent to the hospital."

"And I just happened to take this opportunity to leave, since I had already eaten my fill of cake anyway."

A long string of words, and the tone was more like Qinghai Chuantang.

So, am I just overthinking it?

Conan fell into self-doubt.

But the outlines of those two books are so similar to my own experiences.

If all the details could be matched, it would be extremely terrifying.

This is definitely not a coincidence!

"Do you know which hospital Mr. Shunyuan was taken to?"

"Beihu Central Hospital. Since you won't come out, I'll leave first. If you want to go to the hospital to see him, you'd better be careful. What if it's a trap?"

The detective's curiosity, thirst for knowledge and exploration of events are all utilized to appropriate advantage.

Conan's persistent attitude towards the Black Organization was also captured just right.

So at the beginning, it was really just a game.

Moreover, it was Conan who came to the door obediently.
