Detective Conan: Beika Town's Complete Transformation into Los Santos

Page 55

To prevent Gin from worrying that the cracking method had been leaked and thus altered the encryption and added viruses, it would be best for Hara Yoshiaki to die after he had used the method.

Throughout the process, it's best to avoid letting Gin make any associations with USB drives.

In fact, Lin Che really wanted to keep Yuan Jiaming by his side, after all, he was a highly capable person, and it would be a pity if he died.

However, if Hara Yoshiaki survives, Lin Che will be implicated and targeted by Gin in greater intensity.

The trade-offs involved have not yet been fully considered.

If Hara Yoshiaki can demonstrate value beyond the risks later on, then finding a way to save him wouldn't be a bad idea.

Lin Che quickly went through everything that had just happened in his mind, and a new hidden mission was thus initiated.

[Organization USB Drive (Hidden): Unwilling to give up on any clues, you rely on various intelligence sources to track down organization member Hara Yoshiaki. You devise a way to hack the USB drive and obtain the data within.]

[Task Reward: 2 experience points.]

It's purely an experience reward, but it's quite substantial.

Lin Che adjusted his state and returned to the 3rd floor.

The technology exhibition area was still nearly deserted, and the receptionist kept yawning; she was basically just killing time.

"Ah...you're back. Did you find Mr. Yuan?" The young lady was quite cute, with fair skin and chubby cheeks.

Lin Che nodded, "Working for people like them is a quick way to make money. You can easily earn 50,000 yuan just by running an errand. How about I treat you to dinner later?"

The young woman's eyes lit up. "Okay, okay, I'll bring you a homemade bento box tomorrow as a thank you."

The relationship has become close enough.

After a few casual words, Lin Che got to the point, "I heard that Miss Tokiwa is coming to inspect today?"

The young woman looked thoughtful. "Hmm, and it seems like I'll be with Representative Oki as well."

She covered her mouth with her hand and lowered her voice, "I heard that in order to ensure the completion of the Twin Towers skyscraper, President Tokiwa has secretly become Representative Ōki's mistress."

I don't think so; it seems to be just a monetary bribe.

Moreover, given Tokiwa Mio's status, even if she wanted to engage in erotic bribery, she wouldn't do it herself. At most, she would just use that kind of thing to keep Oki Iwamatsu on the hook.

Lin Che quickly asked about similar rumors.

In fact, these kinds of rumors are often quite reliable.

Those below not only had heard about Tokiwa Mio's bribery of high-ranking officials, who she associated with, and what she was plotting, but they also had their own understanding of it.

High-profile corrupt officials like Daiki Iwatsu are even more like "sieves." Everyone knows all the bad things they do behind the scenes, including when, where, and to whom they did what. They all act as if they were there at the time.

However, such statements can only serve as a source of information. It is absolutely impossible for the police to convict Oki Iwamatsu based on these statements, because there is no evidence.

"When are they coming today?" Lin Che asked after reviewing the clues.

The young woman pointed outside and said, "Listen carefully, we should be downstairs by now."

The window wasn't closed, and some of the noise from downstairs had already drifted in on the wind.

Lin Che straightened his hat. "Hey, I'm going down to see what's going on. I'll come back to find you at noon."

Come downstairs.

Wearing a red dress, Tokiwa Mio was speaking passionately to Oki Iwamatsu, almost pressed against him, completely oblivious to the stares of those around them.

They really are willing to go all out.

They would rather endure gossip than fail to provide Oki Iwatsu with emotional support on crucial occasions.

Lin Che could clearly see the smug look on Da Mu Yansong's face.

Perhaps in the other person's eyes, Tokiwa Mio, a stunning beauty who is top-notch in both wealth and looks, has completely submitted to him.

This kind of desire to conquer is something that no woman or money can give him.

Men and women surrounded the two but kept a safe distance, following closely behind.

Lin Che knew what was going on as soon as he glanced at the scene.

Oki Iwamatsu's bodyguards numbered only four, and they didn't seem to be of very high quality.

However, there were still quite a few people waiting a little further away. Lin Che guessed that those were the black cars with people sitting in them on the roadside.

They would rush out immediately whenever Oki Iwatsu was attacked.

Security forces may change, but the number will remain roughly constant.

"There are about twenty people in total?"

Lin Che didn't think this was a big threat.

Even if the bomb didn't kill Oki Iwamatsu and he had to do it himself, he could easily handle being surrounded by 20 people.

After all, not everyone can be like vodka, able to withstand five shots to the stomach without any problem.

With the help of the disguise face, Lin Che no longer needs to think so much when doing things, and can take the simplest approach to handle them.

While they were thinking, Tokiwa Mio and Oki Iwatsu had already entered the building surrounded by a large crowd.

"Your Excellency, this is the last inspection today. Please take a good look. Our Tokiwa Foundation's buildings are absolutely free of any safety hazards."

Tokiwa Mio's smile was heartwarming. "You granted me the permit to build this super-standard twin-tower skyscraper here, so naturally I wouldn't want to embarrass you."

"Trust me, this is definitely the right choice!"

Oki Iwatsu said arrogantly and smugly, "That's all talk, but I'll have to see for myself to know for sure. President Tokiwa, don't be too sure of yourself, something unexpected might happen."

Upon hearing this, Tokiwa Mio was already cursing in her heart.

They're almost finished and they still have to create trouble for themselves!

I don't know how much money I've given away over the years.

Looking at the lecherous look in Oki Iwatsu's eyes, she felt that this final shudder might have to be made tangible, and she had to actually make Oki Iwatsu shudder over her before it would be over.

Tokiwa Mio tried her best to maintain a smile. "If there are any unexpected events, then I will have to ask for your help, Member of Parliament."

"After the project is fully completed in a few days, I will organize a banquet for social elites. Please remember to come, Mr. Councilor."

The two had already walked past Lin Che while they were talking.

Lin Che watched silently.

After the two entered the elevator and disappeared, he took out his phone and sent an email to Lisael to inquire.

[Target found. I only have two trial packs left, which might not be enough. Hurry up and deliver the bomb to me. I'll be tracking Oki Iwatsu from now on.]

Lisa replied quickly.

[No problem. Where is Oki Iwatsuki now? If conditions are right, we can definitely try blasting him first.]

Do you think I'm here to play cards?

They even dropped a bomb to test the waters.

If it doesn't work out, how much trouble will we have to go through afterwards!

[In the Twin Towers skyscraper, with so many people and eyes watching, two sample bottles couldn't possibly collapse the building. The only feasible option was to put a bomb in the elevator, but he was in the VIP observation elevator, which I couldn't access.]

Something unexpected happened.

Lisael's words were filled with excitement.

"Then wait for me to act together. The twin towers... I'm going to blow them up too."

Chapter 67 Camping, Lissier, Bomb

They all exploded?

If we blow up the Twin Towers skyscrapers, what will Gin do then?

Lin Che felt that things were spiraling out of control, but he didn't want to stop them.

It would be so boring if the plot just went exactly as it was supposed to.

Moreover, he was really looking forward to Lisael going head-to-head with Gin. This mysterious woman was of a very high level, and might even be a terrorist.

If these two face off head-on, at the very least it will be a lose-lose situation, and he might even be able to pick up a bargain then.

"It'll be a good opportunity to see what you're really capable of."

Lin Che gave Lisa Er a reply of agreement.

Then we don't need to think about how to kill anyone today; we just need to focus on the surveillance.

The publicly announced schedule of Oki Iwatsu is completely unreliable; you can only follow it closely.

......

Dr. A Li's house.

Ai Haibara was helping to pack when she reminded him, "Doctor, you won't forget to bring the tent again this time, will you?"

Dr. Agasa scratched his head. "The first thing I packed this time was the tent. It's already in the car. I definitely won't forget it!"

Another camping trip is on the horizon.

Last time we went camping, we forgot to bring our tent and ended up accidentally wandering into a blue castle, which led to a rather thrilling night for everyone.

Conan was hit hard and almost suffered a concussion, Professor Agasa was also hit, and Ai Haibara spent the whole night playing escape room games with the three kids.

Ai Haibara still finds it thrilling when she thinks back on it.

She stuffed the clothes into her backpack. "If Mr. Lin had been with me, it wouldn't have been so dangerous last time."

Professor Agasa chuckled, "Then I'll invite Mr. Hayashi. Ai, do you two get along well?"

Ai Haibara paused for a moment, "Why do you say that?"

"It's just... you two don't interact much, but it feels like you have a very good relationship." Dr. Agasa carefully chose his words. "You don't have that feeling with Shinichi."

The little girl rolled her eyes at him.

We haven't had much contact yet?

We've already developed into a superior-subordinate relationship, and Lin Che still pays me a salary.

And why does she seem to have a very good relationship with Edogawa?

He's clearly a smart person, but when it comes to things related to the organization, he becomes muddle-headed and acts recklessly like he's lost his mind.

Not to mention that Edogawa never truly trusted her.

As expected, Mr. Lin was more reliable. He was calm, collected, courageous, and resourceful. Even though he knew she was a defector from the organization, he still trusted her unconditionally and handed over such an important thing as the USB drive to her.

If it were Edogawa, he would definitely have held onto that USB drive tightly.

Ai Haibara didn't continue the conversation, but instead steered the topic back on track, "Mr. Lin probably doesn't have time lately, so it's best not to bother him."

"So, where are we going this time?"

Professor Agasa said in a strong voice, "It's a large campsite in Nishitama City, and they're going to hold a fireworks festival soon."

"Although that place is also deep in the mountains and forests, the facilities are well-developed and many people go there. It is impossible for us to encounter something like the Blue Castle again this time!"

He leaned closer to Ai Haibara as if to boast, "After the camping trip, we can take a slightly longer route to see the twin skyscrapers that are almost finished over there."

"It is said that this is currently the tallest twin-tower building, and it will be completed in a few days. This kind of landmark building is definitely a must-see."

"So, how about it? Wasn't my arrangement perfect this time?"

Ai Haibara clapped her hands and said, "Great job! You really worked hard this time. You can relax a bit with the food."

At the same time, Lisael also said goodbye to her fiancé and left.

Once she got into the car, her gentle expression vanished instantly, replaced by a look of agitation and ruthlessness.

"Twin tower skyscrapers, why didn't I think of that before?"

"The collapse of this iconic landmark under the glare of the two-tone bomb is far more in line with my expectations than the killing of a member of parliament."

Besides these considerations, another reason for choosing to personally visit Nishitama City was the irresistible urge to try it out.

Bomb sales... were far from ideal.

Those that were rarely sold were either due to user error causing them to blow up themselves, or they were simply used as regular C4.

The latest buyer used up all the bombs without even a news report.
