In the guest house, in a harmonious atmosphere, the banquet officially began.
"Look! Ms. Igarashi is on stage!"
"Dear guests, I'm sorry to interrupt everyone's conversation."
At the front of the reception hall, as the red curtain slowly opened to both sides, the spotlight focused on the stage. Kiyoko Igarashi, wearing a black dress, stood in the circle of light, looking at the people in the audience with a smile. .
"Welcome to Miwa Edo Street and our guest house. I sincerely hope that you can enjoy the wonderful time of having a banquet in this charming street and the guest house in the coming time.
During this period, if you have any needs, you can ask our staff, and we will try our best to provide you with the most comfortable service.
Having said that, you may have noticed it..."
After the simple opening remarks, Igarashi Kiyoko quickly got to the next topic.
"At this banquet, we gathered many famous detectives, mystery writers, reporters from mystery magazines, and even idols and entertainers who have appeared in detective movies and TV series.
We invite everyone who is related to the word 'reasoning' not only because you are very compatible with the theme of our mystery in Yoneka Edo Street, but also because you are related to the activities we are going to hold next. related……"
When Igarashi Kiyoko was introducing on the stage, everyone in the audience was also discussing with each other in low voices.
"Sure enough, there is a special reasoning activity..."
Mouri Kogoro, whose face was slightly red, drank all the red wine in his glass and took a long breath of wine.
"I just don't know if there will be any rewards..."
"dad……"
Mao Lilan looked at him helplessly and sighed deeply.
"Please pay more attention to your image..."
"Ah, there is a reasoning activity~" On the other side, after hearing what Igarashi Kiyoko said, Okino Yoko suddenly leaned his head towards Hoshino Terumi next to him and asked with a smile: " Terumi, I’ll have to wait and see what you do later?”
"Why do you say that?" A little uncomfortable with Okino Yoko's particularly intimate behavior, Hoshino Terumi moved a little to the side and asked aloud.
Her voice was very cold, and there was no extraneous expression on her face, giving people a feeling that she was not easy to approach.
"Because~ Terumi, aren't you a professional in detective dramas? Having acted in so many dramas, you must have learned a lot of reasoning skills, right?"
"Those are just for acting. I'm not a professional detective." Hoshino Terumi glanced at her.
"Even so, doesn't Terumi-san still know that very powerful little detective girl? We will ask her to help us secretly when the time comes..."
"Xiaoying?"
Knowing who Okino Yoko was talking about, Hoshino Terumi subconsciously took out her phone and clicked on the chat software to take a look.
[Xiaoying, are you going back to Japan? 】
[Come on, I have been to the hospital to visit a troublesome guy in the past two days. I am really exhausted...]
[Well, come back soon. 】
"She probably still has something to do in the United States, and I don't want to trouble her at this time."
Saying that, Hoshino Terumi put away her phone.
"It's really amazing. I didn't expect you two to have such a good relationship..." After quickly glancing at the content on her phone, Okino Yoko's tone was a little surprised.
Hearing this, Hoshino Terumi suddenly turned around and stared at her suspiciously.
"Yoko, why do I feel like you mean something behind your words?"
"No way~ It's Terumi, you are too sensitive~" Okino Yoko replied with a smile.
While the two men were talking, the young detective team who had gone to chat with Toru Amuro squeezed through the crowd and returned to Haibara Ai, who was standing quietly behind Maori and his daughter.
"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai, let me tell you, Brother Amuro and Sister Amamiya just told us something very important." Ayumi leaned into Haibara Ai's ear and whispered.
Her expression was a little nervous, not just her, but Mitsuhiko and Genta as well.
"What's going on?" Haiyuan Ai asked, taking a few steps to the side.
"Brother Amuro and the others came to this banquet just because they were invited..."
"Brother Amuro actually accepted a commission! I heard that there is a very scary fugitive who quietly ran into this rice flower Edo Street. Brother Amuro is here to catch this fugitive this time!"
"ha……"
"It's true!" Genta also stepped forward and said excitedly: "Brother Amuro is here to catch the criminal, and sister Amamiya is here to help brother Amuro!"
"This, this is it..."
【Catch a fugitive? It's a shame the two of them figured it out. 】
Seeing the extremely confident expressions of these three little ones, Hui Yuan Ai nodded silently and said nothing more.
[Those two people really have a way of coaxing children...]
What to catch a fugitive?
This is a matter for the police. No matter how useless the Metropolitan Police Department is, it is impossible to leave such a matter to a detective. He is still a "detective" who is "not famous".
It can only be said that these three children are really naive and do not understand the twists and turns involved, so they were easily fooled by those two people.
Even if Toru Amuro really received such a commission, it could only be a task he received as a Japanese public security officer.
If this was the case, then it would be even less possible for him to tell these three little ones about such a thing.
But the facts before us were the other way around.
Toru Amuro, Rena Minami...what's your reason for doing this? Do you really just want to tease these three little ones?
still……
"Xiao Ai, how about we tell Conan about this?" Suddenly, Mitsuhiko's voice interrupted Haibara Ai's thinking.
"Yeah!" Genta nodded quickly in agreement, "We also want to help Brother Amuro. If we tell Conan about this, then we can let Conan come together to help us catch the criminal!"
"But Conan's cold hasn't gone away yet..." Ayumi's face was filled with worry and worry.
"It's okay! It's just in case. We don't need Conan's help for everything!"
【I see……】
Listening to the discussion of these three little ones, Hui Yuan Ai suddenly had an idea in his mind.
[Edogawa Conan... So this is the purpose of the two of you? 】
"Xiao Ai, what do you think?" Suddenly, Guangyan looked at Haiyuan Ai and asked.
"...Okay." After nodding, Hui Yuan Ai looked up at the three little ones and said, "I will contact Conan now and tell him about this matter."
"Great!"
"By the way! We don't seem to know what the fugitive looks like yet?"
"Why don't you go find Brother Amuro and ask?"
"good!"
The three little ones ran over happily again, while Haibara Ai stood there, took out his mobile phone, and clicked on the contact information marked Edogawa Conan, frowning.
She felt a little uneasy. Those two people... had they noticed something?
