Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Banquet
Although Senichi was in a good mood due to his love affair, he did not forget about the main task.
After bidding farewell to Ayako, Senichi returned to the Beika City Hall once again.
Yes, the place where they watched the movie for their date was none other than the Beika City Hall, which Senichi had previously manipulated to prevent it from being destroyed by Moriya Teiji.
As for the movie they watched, it was naturally the recently popular "Legend of the Red Line," which was indeed suitable for couples to watch together.
By the way, Shinichi's movie date with Ran was canceled.
Kogoro was very angry, because thanks to that kid Shinichi, Ran was almost involved in danger.
Although the culprit had been caught early on, the thought of the criminal using his own daughter as bait for revenge against Kudo Shinichi made him both frightened and furious.
However, Kogoro couldn't vent his anger on the captured Moriya Teiji, so he refused to let his dear Ran get close to Shinichi recently, citing concerns for her safety.
It was also a way to teach that arrogant kid a lesson and vent his frustration!
However, Senichi always felt that Kogoro was using this as an opportunity to prevent Ran from getting close to Shinichi and go watch a midnight movie with that "Cabbage pig Thief"...
What if he didn't come back at night... Well, cough cough...
Well, Kogoro's "Cabbage pig Thief," whom he was wary of, happened to be on the same side as him this time, so his efforts were in vain.
When the father of the cabbage and the pig stood on the same front line, the cabbage that came to them voluntarily really had "nowhere to go."
Conan also spent a lot of effort persuading Ran, and finally convinced her to give up on the date. But Conan also kindly bought a gift for Ran, so they managed to overcome the "meeting crisis."
As for why Senichi returned, it was simply to gather information.
For his future grand plan, he had a feeling that the day would come soon, and before that, he needed to perfect his strategy and make thorough preparations.
...
The daily work was so boring without Conan's interference.
It was said that Conan recently received an invitation from his good friend Heiji Hattori, and he went to Osaka with his wife and father-in-law to cause trouble. This made Senichi feel much more relaxed.
Although being a detective brought a lot of convenience, it was inconvenient in cases that spanned different regions, unless you took leave.
But it was not possible to take leave every time, so Senichi agreed to Haruka Getsumei's request and became a "famous detective" in the Metropolitan Police Department, while also obtaining the identity of a writer.
Anyway, I'm currently just an eternal intern police officer, at best I'll be promoted to inspector and it will just go in circles. So for now, I don't seek promotion, I'll pursue privileges first.
If he became famous in the future with the identity of a writer, it would also be a "face" for the Metropolitan Police Department, and he would have more privileges at that time.
That was also the reason why Senichi agreed to Haruka. After all, detectives can work outside, but there are still significant restrictions.
If he wanted the rewards for the cases happening in other areas, he needed enough capital to support him so that he could move around without restrictions.
In simple terms, the greater the reputation, the higher the privileges. Coupled with his abilities, he didn't have worry that the higher-ups wouldn't grant him special privileges.
By relying on his clearance rate and saying he was going out for inspiration and solving cases in various places, he could eventually officially leave the "fixed" position of a detective.
Only at that time would the effects of the part-time "writer" position become apparent.
Thanks to the "grim reapers" in this world, they pushed the development of the Metropolitan Police Department and made this world more focused on abilities.
And he was still in the career group, so it was normal to have these privileges with his abilities.
Perhaps he could even achieve the title of "the youngest detective in the Metropolitan Police Department"~
Tokyo was temporarily peaceful for a while. After Conan, who is a chaos creator, was out of town.
With the passage of time, the day agreed upon by Senichi and Ayako quickly arrived.
EVENT HALL Hotel.
This was the venue for today's banquet. As they arrived at the entrance, the hotel's exterior was adorned with magnificent lights, and various cars were parked in designated parking spaces.
Unlike the usual towering square buildings, the hall beneath the EVENT HALL hotel had an additional triangular-shaped roof, and behind it was the main building of the hotel.
But judging from its appearance, it displayed the class of the hotel.
After Senichi and Ayako met in the lounge area of the hall, they entered together with their invitation tickets.
Today was a celebration for the victorious sumo wrestler Iwato Kaze, and there were many figures from the business and political circles coming and going. The elites held their glasses, chatting and laughing together, using this gathering to expand their networks.
As today's sumo wrestler and this year's winner, Iwato Kaze naturally had many guests surrounding him, holding autograph boards, hoping he would sign for them.
Senichi asked Ayako to go and choose some food first, while he waited in line patiently. It didn't take long for his turn to come.
"Thank you, congratulations on your victory this year." After receiving the autograph handed over by the tall and burly Iwato Kaze, Senichi thanked him and prepared to go and join Ayako.
"Excuse me, excuse me!!"
Just as Senichi was about to leave, a figure emerged from the crowd. It was none other than Kogoro Mouri, holding an autograph board. "Could you also sign for me? I've always been your fan, Mr. Kazuto Iwao~"
Surprised by the appearance of the other party, Senichi couldn't help but sigh when he heard his words. "Hey, even if you want to come and get autographs, at least do some research beforehand. You can't even remember the name, and you don't even look at the answer right in front of your face..."
On the wall of the banquet hall hung a banner that read "Congratulations to the victorious wrestler Iwato Kaze." He was truly speechless that Kogoro Mouri could still get the name wrong.
Sure enough, the peaceful expression on Iwato Kaze's face turned terrifying as he accompanied his large physique, glaring at Kogoro Mouri and angrily said, "My name is Iwato Kaze, you got it wrong!!"
"Uh...!!"
Kogoro Mouri's expression instantly twisted in embarrassment, cold sweat dripping from his face. Then he awkwardly rubbed his head and apologized, "I apologize for the rudeness..."
Iwato Kaze snorted coldly, and left straight away, with the people seeking autographs quickly following him, leaving behind Kogoro Mouri and Senichi standing in their original positions.
"Detective Mouri, you really have no sense of caution." Senichi approached with a smile, "The banquet was clearly organized by someone else, and yet you came to seek autographs without even bothering to find out the name."
"What's it to you..." Kogoro Mouri turned his head impatiently, but to his surprise, when he saw Senichi, he couldn't help but be stunned. "Why is it you?"
