Although they said so, in fact, they were basically listening to Carly talking endlessly about the gossip among colleagues in the company, some gossip that had no nutritional value other than attracting attention.
Just as Carly said before, El Pharmaceuticals happened to be on holiday today. Most of the employees in the company were not there, and only a very small number of employees stayed.
After registering at the security booth at the gate, Maori and his companions followed Carly to the company building.
"However, even though the company is closed today, our boss is still here!" Carly said excitedly as she walked in front.
"Hey? Mr. President, don't you take a holiday yourself?" Mao Lilan asked curiously.
"No, our boss is a very strict person with himself. He comes to work earlier than us and leaves later than us every day. He even rarely takes a day off. He is simply a workaholic!
There isn’t much work in our company to begin with, and our boss works so hard, so we often don’t have much to do in the company. It’s really frustrating…”
[So what is the purpose of your boss hiring you? To accompany the class? ]
Looking at Carly's happy face, Conan kept complaining in his heart.
He roughly understood that Miss Carly was a simple-minded social terrorist, eloquent and with pure thoughts. It was basically impossible to get any valuable information from such a person. All that could be obtained was gossip.
It would be better to find a way to send her away first. Otherwise, if they really followed her around, Conan estimated that they would be sent away without getting any useful information.
"Ah, Hanazawa!"
Just as Conan was thinking this, several people walked into the company building of El Pharmaceutical, and Carly hurriedly walked towards a young woman behind the front desk.
The young woman was very beautiful and dressed elegantly. She was originally lying on the front desk in a daze, but after hearing Carly's voice, she came to her senses and looked at the few people curiously.
"Carly, are they the guests who are coming to visit today?"
"Yes."
Carly nodded, then leaned close to the ear of the woman named Hanazawa. After the two whispered a few words, Carly suddenly turned around.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Yoko!"
"Wait, stand still..."
After saying this, Carly nimbly dodged Hanazawa Yoko's attempt to grab her hand and ran away.
This guy! "
Sighing helplessly, Hanazawa Yoko looked at the confused Maori and the others and replied apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Carly suddenly had something urgent to do. If you don't mind, can I show you around?"
[Is there something urgent? ]
Conan frowned when he heard that, but before he could think about it, Maori Kogoro nodded quickly and said with a grin, "No problem at all! What's your name, young lady?"
"Hanazawa Yoko, just call me Hanazawa. You are the one named Maori who said you would come to visit before..."
"My name is Maori Kogoro!"
"Yes, that's the one called Maori something..."
"It's Kogoro Mouri." Mouri Ran couldn't help but remind him with a smile.
Why does she feel that the employees in this company seem a little weird?
"Yes, it's that Kogoro... eh?"
As if she had finally reacted, Hanazawa Yoko looked at Maori Kogoro in front of her with a little surprise and asked:
"Are you the famous Maori detective?"
"That's right." Kogoro Mori nodded lightly.
"I see..." Hanazawa Yoko looked at her suspiciously with a different expression and asked, "Mr. Maori, are you here to investigate a case today?"
"Ah? Well... sort of."
"Is it about Kaito Kid?" Hanazawa Yoko asked.
"Kidd?"
After Carly, the three heard this name from Hanazawa Yoko.
"Hey, Sister Yoko, I heard that Kid left a notice in your company, is that true?" Conan suddenly spoke in a cute tone.
"It seems to be true..." Upon hearing this, Hanazawa Yoko nodded uncertainly.
"like?"
“Because we haven’t seen the notice, and it seems that the president has kept it… I’m not sure, but that’s what everyone in the company says.
So, Mr. Maori is here to investigate Kidd today too?"
"Of course, a difficult thief like Kidd needs a detective like me to take action."
With the calm smile of a middle-aged man, Kogoro Mori nodded lightly.
"Sure enough!" Upon hearing this, Hanazawa Yoko became excited on the spot and nodded in agreement:
"I knew it! A troublesome person like Kidd, who is extremely intelligent, handsome, and charming, needs a famous detective like you to come forward!"
"Haha, Miss Hanazawa, thank you for the compliment..." Although he felt like something was wrong, Kogoro Mouri still smiled happily.
"No, no, I'm telling the truth~"
Also laughing, "Hanazawa Yoko"...or rather, Kuroba Kaito's gaze secretly glanced at Conan next to Mouri Ran.
[You're here too? This company... is really special. ]
Chapter 2 A little later
Chapter 184 I don’t know anything
At Mika International Hospital, Bai He sat quietly in front of the nurses' station, carefully recording the conditions in each ward.
Near noon, people were coming and going in the aisle next to her, and one of them walked straight in front of her.
Bai Hejing stopped writing and looked up. She saw a woman with short hair and a capable appearance.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Bai Hejing looked at her and asked.
She had some impression of the short-haired woman in front of her. She remembered that she had seen her at a party of Aide Company before. She was a police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department. Her name seemed to be Sato...
"Hello."
Sato Miwako also looked at the somewhat cold female nurse in front of her, and said with a smile: "My name is Sato Miwako, a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department. I am here to see two special patients today. The police should have informed you in advance..."
As she spoke, Sato Miwako took out her ID and handed it over.
“Well, we did receive such a notification.”
After handing her ID back, Bai Hejing closed the book, stood up and said:
"Come with me, I'll take you there."
"Sorry for the trouble."
[It's someone from the Metropolitan Police Department.]
Shirakawa Jing knew from the beginning that the police would send someone over, so there was nothing surprising about it.
After all, the police did not find any identity documents on the bodies of the FBI last night. Therefore, in the eyes of the police now, Judy and James are still just suspected unidentified foreign friends of the FBI.
Only by clarifying the identities of these two people can the police make follow-up arrangements.
"It's here." Walking to a ward, Shirakawa Shizuka opened the door and walked in with Sato Miwako.
In the ward, Judy had an IV on the back of her hand. After hearing the sound, she turned around from leaning against the head of the bed and looked over.
"You are……"
"Police from the Metropolitan Police Department, you can just call me Sato." Sato Miwako said with a smile, taking a chair beside her and sitting down beside the bed.
Behind her, Bai He quietly retreated and closed the ward door. She returned to the nurse's station and sat down again. She glanced around, took out a headset from her pocket and put it on.
"What's your name?" The voice in the headset was Sato Miwako's.
"Judy Starling."
In the ward, in response to Sato Miwako's question, Judy replied in a calm tone: "It's the English teacher at Teitan High School."
"Hmm..." Taking out a notebook and writing down everything Judy said, Sato Miwako continued to ask: "Ms. Judy, how long have you been in Japan?"
"I have been here on and off before, but I really started looking for a job and settling here more than a month ago."
"Why do you want to settle in Japan?"
"I like Japanese culture." Judy replied calmly.
"This, this is it..."
The writing hand suddenly paused, and Sato Miwako's expression was almost out of control.
My goodness, she actually encountered this kind of line that only appears on TV? Is this true?
"Then Ms. Judy, can you describe to me what happened last night?" Taking a deep breath, Sato Miwako asked.
[Could this woman in front of me be the FBI? ]
Although the superiors have issued a gag order, the fact that the police rescued two suspected FBI agents last night has actually spread privately within the Metropolitan Police Department.
A mysterious alarm call, an explosion scene that looked like hell, and corpses of foreigners all over the ground.
Although Sato Miwako didn't go there last night, she knew it clearly just by listening to the descriptions of her colleagues.
Senior police officials were holding a small meeting this morning to discuss how to deal with this matter.
The purpose of her coming here today was actually to test the true identity of this woman according to the instructions of her superiors.
It would be best if you could ask something, but if you can't, it doesn't matter, just treat it as a normal inquiry.
"I actually... I'm not too sure..." Facing Sato Miwako's direct question, Judy lowered her head and replied with difficulty.
"Not sure?" Sato Miwako frowned slightly.
"Well, I happened to pass that intersection when I was going home last night, and then I don't know why there was an explosion around me, and my car was suddenly overturned...
When I climbed out of the car, I found that several cars around me had exploded. I was very scared and tried desperately to escape. But after I ran just two steps, I heard a strange sound, and then my car exploded. After that, I don’t know what happened..."
As Judy recalled and spoke, her body trembled slightly, and her face had a complex expression of fear and pain, which looked as if it were real.
"I see..." Miwako Sato looked at Judy with her eyes slightly narrowed.
