Since in the Metropolitan Police Department, Officer Megure summoned everyone and had a comprehensive understanding of the situation that day, he found nothing more. Therefore, Officer Megure did not stay with everyone longer and let everyone go back.
Just like that, in the afternoon, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, who had secretly made an agreement in the meeting room of the Metropolitan Police Department in front of Mihua Station, gathered here to prepare for their actions——
"Misuhiko! Here!"
Since Mitsuhiko arrived a little later than the other two, Ayumi and Genta, who had been waiting here for a long time, waved towards Mitsuhiko who had just arrived, gesturing for Mitsuhiko to come over.
In response, Mitsuhiko, who was trotting over, saw that the current time seemed to be a few minutes earlier than the agreed time limit, and couldn't help but said in surprise:
"It's too early for you two!"
"Because I feel so excited!"
Facing Mitsuhiko's inquiry, Ayumi raised her hands in front of her body with her hands lightly clenched and said excitedly.
"I feel so happy when I think of taking action one step ahead of Conan!"
Similarly, Yuantai also had similar emotions. They seemed very happy that they and others started investigating the incident earlier than Conan this time -
In this way, you don’t have to worry about Conan taking all the credit!
"Who do you think you are one step ahead of!"
However, as soon as the three people gathered here, they heard Conan's voice coming from the side, his tone seemed a bit serious, and he asked the three people.
Suddenly, upon hearing Conan's voice, the three young detectives who had originally conspired to come here were stunned, showing expressions of surprise, and looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw that Conan seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, walking out of the convenience store next to the three of them——
"Ah! Appeared!"
They had no idea how Conan came here. The moment the three of them saw Conan, they seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying. They were all startled and took a few steps back——
"You, how did you know!"
Surprised, Mitsuhiko pointed his finger at Conan, looking very scared and wondering.
In this regard, Conan said with a serious face and matter-of-factly:
"It's so obvious! Just what you are thinking... you must be thinking that if you want to investigate on your own this time, I will definitely stop you because of the danger, right?"
Conan said this, fully understanding the characters of the three children in front of him.
After hearing that Conan had exposed his thoughts, the three of them could only smile helplessly and replied:
"bingo……"
In this regard, looking at the attitude of the three children in front of him, Conan also knew that it would be difficult to persuade them to go back directly, and it was very likely that even if they were allowed to go back, they would probably sneak out again.
Therefore, Conan could only preach seriously but helplessly:
"Anyway, let's forget it this time. You can't act without permission in the future..."
Immediately, listening to Conan's words, Mitsuhiko first realized something——
"So, it's okay as long as you don't act without permission?"
As Mitsuhiko's words came out, Ayumi and Genta also understood the meaning, which meant that Conan should not be hidden and everyone could act together.
As a result, the three people immediately responded happily and loudly:
"knew!"
Seeing this, Conan just felt helpless and thought:
"Do they really know..."
In this way, knowing that he could only follow them to investigate today, Conan had no good way. In addition, he also wanted to participate in the investigation, so he took these three children and prepared to set off for the investigation. ——
"Then who are you going to investigate?"
First of all, before setting off, Conan asked the three children about their original plans.
"Mr. Kazama and Mr. Kisaragi, we will go to Mr. Yuan's house tomorrow."
Upon hearing Conan's question, Ayumi first answered happily and gave an explanation:
"Although Mr. Kazama's home is in Setagaya, he has a studio on the Asahino side of Nishitama Station, one stop before it. It seems that he will be there until the Twin Towers skyscraper is officially opened."
"Mr. Kisaragi is single. He built a studio and living house in Asahino three years ago, so the two of them can visit today."
Mitsuhiko explained.
"Oh? Did you investigate it very carefully?"
Conan said in surprise when he heard that several people actually had such detailed itineraries.
"Haha, it was mainly Haiyuan-san who helped me."
In this regard, Mitsuhiko said with some embarrassment.
"If I had known this, Haibara-san would have come with us."
But Ayumi couldn't help but say this.
"Ah? You also invited Huiyuan?"
Hearing this, Conan couldn't help but be surprised——
Just hide it from me, right?
"Yes, but Haiyuan-san didn't come because he had something to do."
Ayumi said.
In this way, without continuing to talk about this topic, a few people took the train and came to Asahino Station. Through the information of the preliminary investigation and the help of Conan, they first found the apartment where Hidehiko Kazama's studio was located.
And it happened that Hidehiko Kazama was in the apartment today, so after Conan and others knocked on the door, Hidehiko Kazama opened the door and saw the children he had met in the Twin Towers skyscraper before, so he invited them Entered the house.
At this point, after some simple chats, several members of the Young Detective Team got down to business and began to ask some questions about Oki Isomatsu, but they did not get any useful answers. They just said that for Hidehiko Kazama, Oki Isomatsu is a nasty middle-aged man, but based on his behavior of amending the Municipal Act, he got the job of designing the twin tower skyscraper. Therefore, Kazama Hidehiko has no hatred for Oki Isomatsu.
So after bidding farewell to Hidehiko Kazama, several members of the Young Detective Team went to Ruyue Fengshui's residence on a hill not far away.
But here, several members of the Young Detective Team unexpectedly discovered that someone had actually come here to visit Mr. Kisaragi Hosui one step ahead of them—
lofty!
After entering the inner room, in the spacious hall, Ruyue Fengshui was drawing on a drawing board spread out on the ground, while Gao Yuan was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with the curtains drawn on one side of the hall, stopping there quietly. , seems to be thinking about something.
In this regard, when several people from the Young Detective Team arrived here, they felt a little strange when they saw such a scene, especially since the two of them had no intention of talking here——
"Brother Mingzhi, why are you here?"
Curious, after seeing this scene, several members of the Young Detective Team couldn't help but ask.
Especially Conan. He didn't see Gao Yuan when he was at the Metropolitan Police Department in the morning, but he actually appeared here. Is it because there are some clues here.
In response to this, Gao Yuan still stood by the window and replied with a little meaning:
"I'm just trying to feel some of the special thoughts of a master of Japanese painting that have the characteristics of an artist..."
After saying that, Gao Yuan asked several people from the young detective team who came here, saying:
"By the way, why are you here?"
"us……"
Hearing this, Mitsuhiko and Genta were a little embarrassed, but Ayumi replied:
"We are here to investigate the murder of Mr. Oki."
However, as soon as these words came out, Ruyue Fengshui, who was painting, said sternly:
"What case can a child do if he doesn't want the police to handle it?"
In this way, being questioned by such a stern elder, the momentum of the young detective team suddenly weakened, and they did not dare to ask Ruyue Fengshui any more questions.
But Ruyue Fengshui saw that several children took the trouble to come here to find him, so he finally drew a portrait for each of them with his name signed by Ruyue Fengshui, and then let these children go back.
Under such circumstances, Conan originally insisted on asking something, but after being signaled by Gao Yuan's eyes, and it was getting late, Conan took the children and left.
In this way, in Ruyue Fengshui's residence, only Gao Yuan and Ruyue Fengshui were left——
"It's already so late. How long will Mr. Akechi stay?"
At this moment, because Gao Yuan has been here for a long time, and Ruyue Fengshui has just sent away several people from the Young Detective Team, Ruyue Fengshui, who was originally in a relatively stable mood, is a little impatient, and wants to let Gao Yuan go. leave.
"Mr. Kisaragi, didn't I say that I want to understand and feel your thoughts..."
But in this regard, Gao Yuan still stood in that position and said lightly:
"But I've been feeling it for a long time, but I still can't understand it..."
As he spoke, while the sky was still not completely dark, Gao Yuan opened the curtains that had been drawn up, revealing the scenery reflected by the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in front of the Ruyue Peak -
That picture is a view of Mount Fuji split in two by the twin-tower skyscraper towering in Nishitama City... (End of this chapter)
