Conan: Another Famous Detective

Half an hour later.

Kumiko reappeared in Hanemiya Akira's sight.

Her expression was normal, but there was a gloomy look between her brows.

"Miss Kumiko." Akira Hanamiya said hello, knowingly not asking about the outcome of the negotiation.

Kumiko smiled: "Detective Hanomiya, thank you for your protection these two days. Please take me home. Once you arrive at my residence, the commission will be completed."

"Okay." Yu Gongming nodded slightly.

Not long after, Kumiko dismissed the other assistants, got into the red Bentley with Akira Hanemiya, and left the charity dinner quietly.

In the car, after a long silence, Kumiko spoke first: "Detective Hanomiya, are you really sure that Toyokawa has been caught?"

Yu Gongming raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said after careful consideration: "Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, I think it is unlikely that the Metropolitan Police Department cannot even verify the identity."

The implication is that the Metropolitan Police Department should not have arrested the wrong person.

Kumiko was silent for a while again, and continued: "Since Toyokawa has been arrested, why? Why didn't President Karasuma choose our company?"

She seemed to have started talking, and without waiting for Akira Hanomiya to answer, she continued: "In the previous bidding, our company has always had an advantage. Even President Karasuma's secretary has privately revealed that he is more optimistic about our company."

"And Toyokawa's series of actions against me seem to confirm this. If the situation hadn't been really bad to a certain extent, how could he have taken the risk and hired someone to kidnap me?"

"Then, thanks to you Detective Hanomiya, I not only successfully escaped Toyokawa's conspiracy, but Toyokawa was even arrested by the police for investigation before the charity dinner for the final competition."

"Logically speaking, the right time, right place and right people should be on my side, but why? Why was I the one who lost in the end?"

Akira Hanamong frowned. He didn't know much about business matters, but according to Kumiko, things were indeed a bit weird.

He was about to say something when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Akira Hanomiya saw that it was a call from Conan and immediately answered the call.

"Hey! Hanomiya, there's something going on!" Conan's slightly solemn voice came from the other side.

"What's wrong?" Yu Gongming asked.

"I saw at Toyokawa Design that a sneaky guy just sneaked into the company's office building. I don't know what he was doing." Conan said calmly.

Yu Gongming's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and he immediately asked: "What is the specific situation? Why are you there?"

"After it was confirmed that Toyokawa was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department, I returned to Toyokawa Design Company, thinking that at least I could cooperate with the Karasuma Foundation, plus Toyokawa's unscrupulous tactics against Miss Kumiko, no matter The exclusion has to do with the organization.”

"Perhaps because the president was arrested, all the lights in their company were turned off before eight o'clock. Just when I wanted to sneak in, I saw that guy."

Yu Gongming frowned slightly: "You didn't follow rashly, did you?"

"No, I was afraid that he had other accomplices watching, so I didn't dare to follow him, so I just watched from the outside of the building." Conan replied.

Yumiya Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Conan has finally grown up, and he has experienced so many things in vain.

After pondering for a while, Yu Gongming said: "Don't act rashly. Pay attention to whether there is anything else when he comes out. My commission is almost completed and I will go to your side soon."

"Okay, I will contact you if there is any new information." Conan responded.

After hanging up the phone, Akira Hanomiya's eyes flickered slightly and he looked at Kumiko: "Miss Kumiko, although it is a bit presumptuous, I would like to ask, did President Karasuma announce the result on the spot?"

Kumiko was startled, then shook her head slightly: "No, he didn't directly announce who got the project. He just asked me to go back and wait for the news. But when I left, the people from Toyokawa Design were still there."

"In other words, President Karasuma asked you to leave alone first?" Akira Hanomiya confirmed.

"Yes." Kumiko replied, her tone unable to hide her depression: "Although he said he was waiting for news, President Karasuma's move is already a tactful expression of his attitude."

"Yes." Yu Gongming responded softly, understanding in his heart.

If Kumiko's company is chosen, she will not be allowed to leave before the people of Toyokawa Company, either emotionally or rationally.

After thinking for a moment, Akira Hanomiya said: "So, did the representative of Toyokawa Company promise any benefits that President Karasuma could not refuse?"

"No!" Kumiko responded without hesitation: "The plan given by the other party is indeed not bad, but our plan, whether it is the samples provided or the details of the cooperation, is also very sincere, even in the quotation Last year we were three percentage points lower."

"I dare not say that my plan is definitely better than Toyokawa Company, but their president is not here. This is a deduction. President Karasuma's choice... I really can't understand it."

Akira Hanamiya remained silent and did not try to comfort Kumiko.

In the final analysis, their relationship was just a commission, and he could not truly appreciate the efforts the other party had put into this project, so it would be inappropriate to comfort him hastily.

Kumiko said some more about the content of their negotiation. After a while, she realized that she had said too much and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I was a little out of control."

"It's okay, I understand." Yu Gongming smiled.

"Thank you!" Kumiko said no more and began to concentrate on driving. Hanemiya Akira and Meng Yu also wisely chose to remain silent.

There was no words along the way, and the red Bentley finally stopped in front of an apartment.

After sending Kumiko into the house and asking her to help confirm that there was nothing abnormal in the house, Kumiko readily took out the check and paid the balance.

Kumiko bowed slightly: "Thank you very much Detective Hanomiya this time. You are indeed worthy of your name."

"Thank you, Miss Kumiko. If there is nothing else, we will leave." Akira Hanamiya said with a smile.

Kumiko nodded slightly: "Yeah! Detective Hanomiya probably has other things to be busy with, so I won't stay any longer."

Saying goodbye to Kumiko, the two left the apartment building and came to a secluded place. Akira Hanomiya took out his mobile phone and dialed Conan's number: "How is it over there?"

"It seems that guy hasn't come out yet." Conan replied.

"Okay! I'm done here. Send me your location and we'll go there right away. We'll contact you directly through the internal communicator." Akira Yumiya said calmly.

"receive."

…………

Akira Hanomiya called a taxi and asked the driver to drive near the location provided by Conan.

It was a commercial district, with brightly lit streets and a constant flow of people. The two people who got out of the car looked inconspicuous.

"Go this way." Meng Yu gestured in a certain direction, and the two of them left quickly.

About ten minutes later, Conan appeared in Hanemiya Akira's sight.
