The press conference ended abruptly, and Sindora was finished.
Just as Fangzheng thought, Sindora was completely defeated this time. After all, the AI that invaded the virtual reality system and kidnapped the children was created by Sindora, and the virtual reality system was also created by Sindora. So, the responsibility was all on Sindora. Well … for now, bankruptcy was their only option.
But this had nothing to do with Fangzheng. In fact, he was currently on vacation with Ming Mei and Xiao Ai.
Of course, although it was a vacation … .it was more like a business trip.
"Did that guy really say that?"
Fangzheng asked coldly as he drove on the road. Ming Mei nodded.
"Yes, Mr. Kirisaki said it wasn't his responsibility …."
"If it wasn't his responsibility, then who else could it be? As the director of the hospital, he should at least be responsible for poor management. Don't forget, Umbrella spent a lot of money to settle the public opinion!"
Having said that, Fangzheng was extremely pissed. The reason was that a medical accident occurred in a hospital under Umbrella some time ago, resulting in the death of 14 patients. The media focused their attention on the director of the hospital, Tetsuro Kirisaki, believing that it was his surgical error that caused the deaths. He himself insisted that the medical accident was caused by a mistake in the medication given by the hospital's nurses.
Of course, Fangzheng did not care about the truth of the matter. After all, so many patients had died, so he had to replace them. But he did not expect this guy to have such a strong desire to live. He swore to Fangzheng that there was absolutely nothing wrong with him. Of course, it would have been best if the nurse could testify against him, but unfortunately, the nurse had died in a car accident, so ….
"How stupid is he? He thinks I'll believe in summoning souls?"
Thinking back to the invitation letter Ming Mei had sent him, Fangzheng was so angry that he almost laughed. In order to prove himself, Director Kirizaki had actually invited him to participate in a summoning ritual, saying that he would summon the spirit of the dead nurse to prove his innocence …. From a certain perspective, this guy was really desperate, using any method he could think of.
"Even so, aren't you going to go?"
Xiao Ai flipped through the magazine in her hand and complained silently.
"That's because there's a famous tourist area nearby. If there's a chance to take a break from work, why not take advantage of it? By the way, remember to book the hotel and plan our tour route. This time, we're going to have fun outside for a few days. "
"Understood."
Hearing Fangzheng's instructions, the corners of Xiao Ai's mouth curled up slightly. She reached out to pick up a pen and drew a circle on the travel magazine in front of her. This was a rare opportunity for the two sisters and Fangzheng to go on a trip, so they naturally had to enjoy it. As for the ritual, neither Ming Mei nor Xiao Ai took it to heart. After all, Fangzheng had already said that even if it wasn't Tetsuro Kirizaki's fault, as the leader of the hospital, he would still have to bear the responsibility of mismanaging the hospital. He definitely couldn't be the director of the hospital. Not to mention the undead, even the Heavenly King wouldn't be able to help him.
Besides, as a scientist, Xiao Ai did not believe in ghosts and gods, but … it was good to watch the fun occasionally. After all, she had only heard of psychics, but she had never seen one with her own eyes.
"Ah, Mr. Fangzheng, if we turn around here, we'll reach the warehouse."
Ming Mei glanced at the map, then immediately started the manual navigation.
"This really is a remote place. Don't tell me that guy is about to be dismissed, so he's trying to find an excuse to get rid of us …. Hmm?"
"What's wrong? Mr. Fangzheng? "
Ming Mei asked curiously when she saw Fangzheng's expression change slightly. Fangzheng shook his head.
"Nothing, I just think the scenery here is pretty good."
"Is that so?"
"That's right …"
As he spoke, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the surrounding mountains. On the surface, this was just a remote mountain forest. However, Fangzheng could sense it. Just a moment ago, he acutely sensed that there was a faint Spirit Qi in this region.
That's right, aura!
Although the aura here was quite thin, and Fangzheng could not even cast a decent spell, it was enough to surprise Fangzheng. Didn't they say that Detective Conan was a Ke Xue world? Why is there aura here? Although many of the murders in Detective Conan were committed in the mountains and forests under the guise of myths and legends, they were all Ke Xue in the end.
Could it be that Detective Conan has an anti-magic aura?
Of course, Fangzheng was just complaining. Although there was aura in this place, the aura was extremely thin. If the aura in other places was 0, then the aura here was 0.5, not even level 1. The aura in a place where even level 0 spells could not be cast was not very useful except for being good for the human body. It was even more impossible to kill people like in the magic world.
Following the village road, the group drove all the way and soon arrived at the barn.
"This place is really grand."
After getting out of the car and looking at the tall house and courtyard in front of him, Fangzheng could not help but sigh. He heard that this was the residence of a famous spirit medium sect, and it seemed like it was the case.
"There shouldn't be any murders today. This place looks like it's going to happen."
At this time, Xiao Ai also walked to Fangzheng's side and complained silently. After hanging out with Detective Conan for a long time, she was also as "experienced" in this aspect as Fangzheng.
"Hahaha, absolutely impossible."
Faced with Xiao Ai's complaints, Fangzheng waved his hand.
"Didn't you find out that Detective Conan and the others went to the seaside? People might die at the seaside, but they definitely won't die here. In order to avoid meeting them 'accidentally', I specifically chose this opposite direction to come here. Unless Detective Conan takes a supersonic plane, it will be extremely difficult for him to appear in front of us. Since Detective Conan is not here, no one will die. Don't worry. "
Fangzheng was very calm. There was absolutely no problem!
"I hope that's the case … Huh?"
At that moment, Fangzheng saw Xiao Ai suddenly turn her head and look at the grass next to her.
"What's wrong?"
"I feel a gaze."
"It's a little girl."
With Fangzheng's height, he could naturally sense the truth behind the gaze.
"She should be a resident here. She looks a little younger than you. Maybe she wants to play with you?"
"I'm not interested in playing with children."
Hearing Fangzheng's suggestion, Xiao Ai replied with a snort, "Why are you so serious?
I see that you get along well with the children in the Detective Squad, don't you? "
"But it's tiring, so I want to come out with you to relax. I still have to take care of the children, so please spare me."
At that moment, a bus drove over and stopped at the bus stop next to them. Two men got off the bus.
"Ah, President! Miss Hayahara! "
Upon seeing Fangzheng and the others, the leader of the group, a man with black and white hair, wearing a brown suit and tie and glasses, hurriedly stepped forward and held Fangzheng's hand.
"President! Don't worry, I'll definitely prove my innocence! I'll summon the spirit of the nurse who died so casually and make her write a confession of 'it's all my fault'! When that time comes, President, you'll definitely know that I'm innocent! "
"… Haa …"
Faced with the excited Tetsuro Kirizaki, Fangzheng, Ming Mei, and Xiao Ai looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Do you really think you have any hope in this?
Forget it, it's only a few hours before he's dismissed anyway. Let him do as he pleases. It won't be too late to ask Fangzheng to dismiss him after he's done.
"This is …"
Fangzheng didn't feel like talking to Tetsuro Kirizaki, so he directly changed the topic. He looked at a man wearing a blue suit and combed his hair back. He looked a little weak, like a person who wasn't trustworthy. Fangzheng glanced at the badge on his chest, then quickly retracted his gaze.
"Oh, this is the lawyer, Mr. Cheng Butang."
"Hello, I'm Cheng Butang, Long Yi."
At this moment, the man named Cheng Butang also came forward and handed over his business card with a smile.
"Nice to meet you for the first time."
"Hello, I'm Fangzheng. This is Hayahara Akimi and her younger sister Hayahara Sorrow."
Fangzheng said as he took out a business card from his bosom and handed it over. Cheng Butang took the business card and looked at it. He was stunned for a moment.
"This is … really surprising. I didn't expect Mr. Fangzheng to be so young …"
"Well, let's not talk about this now. Let's go in quickly."
Fangzheng waved his hand, interrupting Cheng Butang and Long Yi's commercial exchange. After that, they walked towards the gate of the warehouse.
At the gate, they met a woman wearing a black kimono. Her hair was coiled into a funny ball. She claimed to be Kimiko Rinri. She was the aunt of the spirit medium, Rinri Masako. As for the little girl who had been hiding in the grass and secretly observing them, she was also a member of this family. Her name was Rinri Harumi. She was also a very cute little girl.
After that, everyone went to the inner courtyard under the lead of Kimiko Rinri. But unlike what they had imagined, the soul summoning ceremony was held in a closed room. Moreover, only that spirit medium called Rinri Masako and Tetsuro Kirizaki were allowed to enter. After that, the entire room was locked from the inside. As for the others, they had to wait in another room.
This greatly disappointed Ming Mei and Xiao Ai. Originally, they thought that they would see a soul summoning ceremony like those in TV or movies. As a result, they couldn't see anything here. They could only wait outside like fools.
However, compared to them, Fangzheng appeared very calm. He even frowned.
"What's wrong? Mr. Fangzheng? "
Looking at Fangzheng's appearance, Xiao Ai also curiously asked.
"No, I always feel that the name Long Yi of Cheng Butang seems to be familiar …"
Fangzheng thought for a moment and hesitated. When the other party first introduced himself, Fangzheng didn't feel anything, but after seeing the name "Long Yi of Cheng Butang" written on the business card, Fangzheng felt that this name was a little familiar as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Huhuhu, but the surname of this Mr. Cheng Butang is really interesting."
At this time, Ming Mei also interrupted with a smile.
"Surname?"
"Yes, isn't the pronunciation of Mr. Cheng Butang's surname like this? So we can also call him Mr. So it's like this. "
"That seems to be the case."
Hearing her sister's words, Xiao Ai nodded. At this moment, Fangzheng's complexion changed slightly.
At this moment, he finally remembered where he had seen this name before!
F * ck!
Is it too late for me to leave now?!
However, just as Fangzheng stood up, all of a sudden …
Bang!!!
A muffled gunshot suddenly rang out, breaking the silence.
