Chapter 146 - Love Arcade
The next day was Wednesday, the last day of the extended holiday, and everyone made an appointment to go to the model airplane exhibition, but Chiba went to the post office first.
"Sister, send this letter!" Chiba handed the envelope to the staff at the post office.
"Ahh "I've learned to send letters at a young age! Come, let my sister see if your envelope is ready. β
Qianyu watched the female worker check the envelope, but her heart was thinking about the movie theater yesterday.
In addition to a printed letter, there was also a check for one million yen.
This million yen may not be much for Chiba's huge fortune, but for such a movie theater with a bleak business and maybe no ten customers a day, it may be a valuable bargaining chip that can save lives and even make a comeback.
As for why a mere 1 million yen can have such an effect, it is necessary to mention the results of the police investigation.
The main reason why Zhang Tian Zhengji paid attention to this movie theater was that he planned to buy it and cooperate with a construction company controlled by his brother to build a movie theater with advanced facilities and sell it for profit. And the object of their sale is Japan's two major chaebols - the Suzuki Foundation and the Nippon Sale Foundation.
Suzuki Cinemas, which is supported by the Suzuki Foundation, has been competing with the Nisupai Consortium's Nippon Cinema Line for years, while Suzuki Cinemas is at a disadvantage in Yonkacho - they do not have a movie theater here. As a result, the Suzuki Foundation has been missing out on this precinct with a population of nearly two million.
So, whether it's the Suzuki consortium, which wants to get a piece of the pie here, or the Nikyoi consortium, which wants to stabilize its grip here, will be happy to get this land.
The reason why this small theater lags behind its peers in the region, who also do not have the protection of large theaters, is not because of hardware problems, but because it can't get good movies. As long as you use the 1 million yen given by Chiba, it should not be difficult for the Suzuki Cinema Line, which is eager to get a strategic support point in the rice flower. As long as Suzuki Cinemas can get the support of the Suzuki Cinema Line and show one or two more blockbuster films, the cinema will be able to firmly establish itself in the top two positions in Rice Flower Town, and the wealth that comes with it means that the cinema will no longer have to worry about going out of business.
Speaking of checks, Qian Yu remembered a pair of brothers and sisters who had also received checks.
I don't know how their lives are now.
Just as Qian Yu was going out, he saw a familiar figure standing next to an ambulance, about to get into the ambulance compartment - he was obviously going to accompany the injured.
"Officer Takagi?" Qian Yu muttered. "Could it be that the wounded are criminals, orβ"
In the back compartment, a flash of orange flashed.
Is Officer Twilight???
The back door of the ambulance was closed by the doctor sitting in the back compartment, and the ambulance started and left.
"What's going on? Officer Twilight was attacked? Qianyu frowned. It's a pity I can't askβ"
Qian Yu swallowed back the words after his eyes touched the sign on the ambulance showing which hospital the ambulance belonged to.
Rice Flower Central Hospital... If you call and ask Gregory, you might be able to get more information. However, there may not be time for this now. If you delay any longer, you won't be able to meet everyone on time to go to the model airplane exhibition.

When Chiba arrived at the bus stop, he saw that everyone else was already in place except for Dr. Asasa.
"Hmm..." Qian Yu glanced at his watch. "It's good that I'm not late...
"Yuantai, are you still eating ice cream?" Mitsuhiko looked at Motota holding an ice cream and said strangely. "You've already eaten two, this is the third, right?"
"What does it matter to you how much I eat!" Yuan Tai said unhappily. "Also, it's dark chocolate-flavored ice cream, so it's an adult's taste!"
"Really!" Mitsuhiko immediately looked at Motota Dark Chocolate Ice Cream with great curiosity.
Chiba glanced at the two of them, and then at Conan. Sure enough, Conan's face was full of lovelessness.
"Qianyu, you're hereβ" Conan said hello when he saw Qianyu, only to see Qianyu raise his eyebrows and look behind him.
Behind Conan, Ash Hara and Ayumi are standing in front of a girly-looking arcade machine, operating something.
"That machine seems to beβ" Conan said, recognizing it. "It should be a popular love luck analyzer right now...
"Tsk," Qian Yu glanced at Conan meaningfully. "How do you know? Could it be that you've played with this machine? β
"Sister Xiaolan once threw all the ingredients to me when she went out with me to buy ingredients, and went to play with this by herself, so I only found out!" Conan hurriedly argued.
"Great!" Ayumi's cheers made all the boys in the detective group turn their eyes.,I saw that the arcade machine was currently on the interface showing the results.,And the result was.γγγ
The machine said, "Ayumi excitedly reads what the arcade displays." "My fate and Conan are very compatible!"
"Huh?" Yuan Tai was taken aback. "That machine can't be broken, right?"
"Yuantai... Mitsuhiko said speechlessly. "That kind of poker fortune-telling arcade machine is unscientific, it's just nonsense! So the arcade turned out to be wrong! β
"These two guys... Chiba looked at Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi with some astonishment. "I see... But Ayumi is quite delicate, and it's normal for them to like her. β
"Ahh "Looks like you're getting better luck than I do."
"Gray Plains, you also tested this arcade machine?" Qian Yu was really surprised this time.
"Can't you?" Gray Plains mourns and rolls his eyes.
"This arcade machine was discovered by Gray Yuan!" Ayumi is clearly in a good mood. "When Ayumi came, Graybara-san, was also testing the relationship index with Conan-kun!"
"What was the result?" Qianyu said curiously.
"Although the road ahead is full of thorns, as long as you have the heart, you can succeed." Ayumi reminisced for a moment, and said before Ash Hara reacted and tried to stop her.
It sounds like it's a notch lower than Ayumi'sββββ I see...
Chiba immediately understood why Ayumi was so happy: Ayumi liked Conan, which had been completely exposed by Ayumi when she was at school. Then, if the fate between Ayumi and Conan in this arcade test is higher than that between Ayumi and Conan, then Ayumi will definitely feel a lot of pressure. And if Ayumi and Conan are more compatible than Ayumi and Conan, it means that Ayumi will think that she can go to the end with Conan, and she will naturally be very happy.
Wait a minute, there seems to be some very subtle slot...
"Hmm-tsk." Qian Yu looked at Conan again, his expression very subtle.
βοΌβ Conan was stunned.
"You and Ayumi's fate are very compatible, and the result with Gray Yuan is also very high," Qianyu played with taste. "Is it possible that you are planning to step on two boats?"
"Hey, hey..." Conan was speechless.
