Conan Moslin

Chapter 272 Video Game Building (1) Number

The game launch conference of Mantiantang will be held this Sunday at the Rice Flower Hotel.

Although the weather outside was a bit gloomy, the interior of the hotel was as bright and spacious as usual. The "Mantangtang New Tour Release" sign at the door and the banners in the lobby were very eye-catching.

The waiter in a white shirt and black trousers led everyone to line up at the baggage check-in counter with a smile on his face, and the front desk lady in a brown-red uniform respectfully handed the number in her hand to the guests.

"Ma'am, this is your number plate. Please keep it carefully."

Li An lowered his head and took the yellow number tag in his hand. He said thank you with a smile and carefully put the tag into the pocket of his thin coat.

She watched her bag being put into the storage compartment, quickly left the front desk, and walked around the main venue.

There were many video game consoles scattered around the venue, and some people were already gathered around to watch the game.

On the big screen in the center of the main venue, the theme of this game - "Detective Mouri Kogoro's Mystery Mansion" was displayed.

This work was planned and developed by Hideaki Nakajima of the Mantan Paradise Video Game Development Department. At this press conference, he will serve as the host to introduce this game and explain the features and gameplay of the game.

But he hadn't arrived yet, and neither had Kogoro Mori, who was also invited.

When Li An walked out of the venue, there were still quite a few people in the queue at the front desk.

Although both the front desk staff and the waiters outside were not in a hurry, they did not have the ability to record every guest who came here. They just diligently led the guests to different front desks.

Li An immediately saw Conan standing outside the line.

There's no other reason. The kid has no luggage to store, so he definitely can't be in the team.

She walked straight over.

Kogoro Mouri stood in the team with a pale face, and behind him was Ran Mouri, who looked dissatisfied and worried.

"Dad! I told you last night not to drink so much!"

"..."

Maori Kogoro covered his mouth to suppress the nausea, then he weakly counted his fingers and said, "I only drank five or six glasses. Look, gin, vodka... and bourbon whiskey..."

Conan, who was squeezed outside the team, heard the name of the wine that Kogoro called out with his five senses and quickly fell into an emotion of PTSD caused by the name of the wine.

So far, Conan has only recorded four people who use wine names as nicknames.

Gin, vodka, cashew, sherry.

In addition, there is Kenzo Masuyama who appeared in the Moriya Teiji incident, Castagna who appeared in the cake shop incident, Shiho Miyano who inexplicably lived in the Trojan Manor, and "Masami Hirota" who died in the explosion...

The names of these people wrapped around him like a big net, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Conan tapped his head.

Damn it! When will they show up?

"Conan?"

Li An greeted Mao Li and the others, and grabbed his hand that was knocking his head.

"Aren't you here to play video games? Your expression is so ugly that you look like an adult."

Conan took his hand back and immediately put on a smiling face: "Sister Li An, you came so early? Have you stored your bag?"

The speed at which his expression changes is worthy of being Uncle Yukiko... Senior Sister Yukiko's child.

Li An nodded and waved the number plate in front of the others: "Well, I didn't see Uncle Maori in the venue, so I just walked out."

Speaking of which, the names Mr. Maori just mentioned are all very interesting.

It's no wonder that he is in this state today after drinking a mixture of several strong liquors with high alcohol content.

But these wine names... could it be a coincidence?

How can there be so little wine to drink?

Kuroba Kurian might use coincidence to explain some big and small things, but she hardly believes in coincidence.

At this moment, within a few steps, someone initiated a conversation with Kogoro Mori.

"Is this Mr. Maori?" The man had a barely handsome face and was wearing a light brown suit. He smiled at the protagonist of today's project and said, "Hello, I am Nakajima Hideaki from Manten. I planned the video game for the famous detective Maori Kogoro's reasoning mansion."

"Thanks to Mr. Maori, I was able to complete a great video game software."

Kogoro Mouri's face actually looked a little better than before. Just as he was about to say something polite, someone interrupted him at an inopportune time.

"Nakajima, you are really excellent...if that video game software was really planned by you."

Nakajima turned his head: "Ueda?"

With a contemptuous tone, Mitsuru Ueda dumped out all his past events without any hesitation.

"I accidentally leaked the fact that you can make a lot of money by using the Maori detective to design video games."

"Three days later, you submitted a proposal for the same topic, and the press conference was held in the blink of an eye."

This secret was told by Ueda in public, which made Nakajima Hideaki very angry.

Yet this thing was probably true, for he made no objection at all.

"You're a genius at plagiarizing other people's stuff! Both work and women are..." Ueda pulled the person behind him, "Don't you agree? Takeshita."

"Yes... yes, but... that was when I was in college." The thin-browed man with glasses, Takeshita Yushin, drooped his eyebrows and smiled reluctantly, "I have forgotten it a long time ago."

Ueda turned around with an even more sarcastic expression: "Okay? As for what happened this time...just pretend I didn't see it. I always feel like you're being forced into a corner by the underground money lenders..."

Nakajima gritted his teeth secretly.

As they were talking, the line had already reached Kogoro Mori's end.

"Thank you. Here is the identification number tag for your belongings."

Maori Kogoro glanced at the sign: "Number 96?"

"Oh no! It's getting late!"

The three people who had just talked joined the line ahead of time to ensure they would not be late, but they were caught by the boss for complaining about the unified company label.

Several people grabbed the number plates in their hands and almost ran away with their heads covered.

Mao Lilan, who was squeezed behind them, was lucky enough to get the number 100.

……

The distribution process of "Mystery Mansion" was relatively smooth. Although Kogoro Mori still looked pale at the press conference, overall there were no problems.

When Kogoro was forced to work, Ran Mouri took Conan and followed Kurian to play at various video game machines.

"Huh? Is there a mahjong game here too? Let me try it!"

Mao Lilan came to a machine and started to work happily.

So Kurian and Conan watched helplessly as Mao Li Ran won one game after another with her unparalleled luck.

"Yeah! We won again! Let's play one last round!"

Looking at Mao Lilan who was addicted to mahjong, Li An had no idea what was going on.

It’s fine that Ai has been playing games with Aso Jun these days, but how come even Xiaolan has been involved... ?

"Conan, how did Xiaolan suddenly fall in love with the mahjong game?"

“Ahahaha… well…”

Conan touched his head, looked up at the ceiling of the game hall, then looked down at the clean floor, but he didn't look at Li An's face full of question marks.

He...can he say that when Xiaolan was going home from visiting Uncle Kogoro yesterday, her uncle dragged her to play mahjong, and she was lucky enough to win the whole night before the incident happened?
