Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 269 Hara Yoshiaki's Good Luck

Hara Yoshiaki looked at the photos scattered all over the ground, his eyes filled with confusion.

He remembered that his code wasn't written like that.

After a while, once the machine had used up all the photographic paper or ink it had stored, it finally stopped spitting out photos.

"My life ten years from now is going to be very colorful."

Qi Ming casually picked up a photo from the ground and sighed to himself.

Nearby, Conan, who had been lying on the ground looking for his own photo, finally spotted a corner of the photo peeking out from under Hara Yoshiaki's feet.

Just as he was about to ask Yuan Jiaming to lift his foot, the machine's surging photos forced Yuan Jiaming to take a half step back, and his own photos were covered by Qi Ming's pile of photos.

Gan!

Why do I always feel like this machine is working against me?

"I'm so sorry, there must be a problem with the machine."

Hara Yoshiaki scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, checked the time, and said to Sawaguchi:

"Zekou, why don't you take them to see the other products first? It seems that my product still needs some optimization."

"Ok."

Sawaguchi covered his mouth and nodded.

"Uncle, let us help you."

Ayumi stepped forward and smiled, then squatted down to pick up the photos.

Seeing this, Mitsuhiko and Genta also came forward to help.

In the end, even Conan and Ai Haibara joined in.

It wasn't that I wanted to appear as a sociable person.

Ai Haibara is simply cleaning up her silly brother's mess, but Conan's intentions are not so pure.

He simply wanted to find his own photo.

"Oh, thank you so much, you're such good kids."

Hara Yoshiaki glanced at the children who were squatting on the ground, busy with their tasks, with a broad smile on his face.

A moment later, as if remembering something, Hara Yoshiaki bent down and smiled at the children:

"By the way, do you kids really enjoy games?"

"Yes, I like it!"

Upon receiving a response from the children, Hara Yoshiaki adjusted his glasses and said:

"I happen to be developing a new game recently. If it's okay, would you like to come to my house to try it out and give me your feedback?"

Upon hearing this, the children looked up, excitedly exclaiming, "Yay!"

Qi Ming couldn't help but marvel once again at how incredibly carefree these three children were.

Perhaps because they thought about playing a new game, the three children picked up the items even more enthusiastically, and didn't even need Hara Yoshiaki's help.

Hara Yoshiaki smiled helplessly, glanced at Sawaguchi who was introducing other products to the adults not far away, and then looked at the busy children at his feet.

After a moment's thought, Yuan Jiaming came to Qi Ming's side, took out two cards from his pocket and handed them to Qi Ming, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.

"Lord Madeira, please accept this bank card and this card. The PIN is already on the bank card."

"Then with this other card, you can get free shopping or hotels under the Tokiwa Group."

Oh ho, there's an unexpected surprise?

Qi Ming raised an eyebrow and waved his hand with a deliberately serious expression.

"Hey, Kohara, what do you mean by this? It's inappropriate."

Seeing Qi Ming's attitude, Yuan Jiaming's eyes lit up, and he didn't pull his hand back from holding the card.

"It was an honor to meet Lady Madeira today; this is just a small token of my appreciation."

"Hey, fine, fine, I'll take it then."

Qi Ming silently accepted Yuan Jiaming's gift, then patted Yuan Jiaming on the shoulder.

"Hey, Kohara, if you need anything in the future, just let the organization know my name."

"Okay, okay."

Hara Yoshiaki nodded and bowed, feeling even more at ease after his initial relief.

I don't know if it's because people in the organization are making wild claims, but at least right now, Madeira doesn't seem to be associated with the word "cold-blooded," does she?

On the contrary, they are quite easy to approach.

But it is true that Madeira slaughtered everyone at the base, and many members of the organization knew this.

Hara Yoshiaki began to suspect that the organization's higher-ups thought highly of him and were deliberately creating hype to cultivate his public image.

Yuan Jiaming was unaware of the inside story, but the joy on Qi Ming's face seemed genuine.

That's a pretty sunny smile, isn't it?

And these people around him must be his friends.

A few ordinary elementary school students, an ordinary dark-skinned youth, and an ordinary high school girl.

It seems that Madeira, like myself, must be able to balance organization and life.

Based on his current understanding, Yuan Jiaming believes that Qi Ming is a person who values ​​human relationships.

In short, it's definitely the right thing to do to curry favor with this person now.

Jingle Bell--

After a while, two phone calls rang at the same time, one from Qi Ming and the other from Zekou on the other side.

Qi Ming glanced at the name on the caller ID, but didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Yuan Jiaming.

However, before he could speak to Hara Yoshiaki, Sawaguchi arrived with Kogoro Mouri and the others, and said first:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Director Tokiwa's meeting has concluded. Please follow me to the banquet hall on the 75th floor."

"Please follow me, the elevator is this way."

"and many more."

Qi Ming shouted, then waved to the crowd.

"You guys go up first, I'd like to have a chat with this Comrade Xiaoyuan."

Comrade Obara?

Upon hearing Qi Ming's address, everyone was momentarily stunned.

This Mr. Xiaoyuan seems to be older than you, doesn't he?

No, putting aside the issue of titles, Hara Yoshiaki was a conglomerate director and engineer...

Why didn't you object at all when you heard Qi Ming called him that?

"...You guys go up first, we'll catch up in a bit."

Yuan Jiaming was somewhat surprised as to why Qi Ming had called him back, but considering that Qi Ming had never shown any murderous intent towards him during their long time together, he relaxed.

"See you later, Brother Qi Ming! And Uncle will take us to play a new game later too."

"Okay, okay, I'll remember."

Hara Yoshiaki waved and smiled at the children.

Only when everyone got on the elevator and only Yuan Jiaming and Qi Ming remained on the floor did Yuan Jiaming nervously approach Qi Ming.

"Lord Madeira, is there anything I can help you with?"

Yuan Jiaming swallowed hard and carefully asked Qi Ming.

Although he had tested Qi Ming many times, this sudden act of leaving him alone here was really frightening!

"Hey, Kohara, how long have you been in our organization?"

Qi Ming sat in the chair, pointed to Yuan Jiaming's pocket, and then waved.

Hara Yoshiaki was taken aback, but wisely took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket.

"It should be about two and a half years at most."

After offering Qi Ming a cigarette and lighting it, Yuan Jiaming said with trepidation.

He really couldn't guess what Qi Ming was thinking right now.

"Two and a half years! You haven't been promoted in such a long time. You've failed a bit."

"But since you've shown me kindness, I have no choice but to help you out."

Qi Ming pointed at Yuan Jiaming, then took out his phone.

The screen lit up, displaying a missed call—a call he had saved but hadn't answered.

Gin.

"Do you know Gin? He's in the same grade as me. You're lucky, kid. I'll have a good talk with him today and help you get a codename to play with!"
