After that, although there were some twists and turns, the wedding was held smoothly in the end.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, it was just the bride being a little shy. But for Lan, Yuanzi, and the others who knew the inside story, they had mixed feelings when they saw Teacher Koyuri happily hugging the man who had tried to poison her.
Fangzheng's relationship with Manager Matsumoto also became a lot closer because of this. After all, if he had not seen through Takasugi Toshihiko's method and stopped him from committing the crime, Manager Matsumoto's daughter might have been dead by now.
After the wedding, Takasugi Toshihiko decided to turn himself in. Although the person involved had forgiven him, he had wanted to kill Koyuri. Perhaps Takasugi Toshihiko felt that he could not accept the fact that everything was over and continue living as if nothing had happened. So, after discussing it with Manager Matsumoto, he decided to turn himself in.
In the end, Takasugi Toshihiko was detained by the police on suspicion of poisoning, but because no one was killed, he was only sentenced to three months' detention. During these three months, Miss Koyuri visited Takasugi Toshihiko in the detention center every day. The newlyweds were fed a lot of dog food in the detention center, which was quite depressing.
Fangzheng really suspected that if this went on, there might be some single people in the detention center who couldn't take it anymore and ended up committing murder to vent their anger …
For example — "The Case of the Single Dog Murder in the Rice Detention Center (Prequel)".
By the way, after that, Fangzheng was also targeted by Conan.
It was not that Conan suspected Fangzheng of being a member of some underground organization, but that he was very interested in Fangzheng's microexpressions and criminal psychology. Taking advantage of the opportunity that Fangzheng often went to Dr. Agashi's place to communicate with him, he would act cute in front of Fangzheng all day, hoping to learn some knowledge in this area.
However, Fangzheng would definitely not teach this kind of knowledge to Conan. After all, microexpression teaching was actually a very complicated topic, and it was quite subjective. The reason why Fangzheng was able to combine and use them was firstly because he had superhuman five senses. Secondly, as a battle-hardened warrior, Fangzheng was very sensitive to murderous intent and death aura. It was because of these two foundations that he was able to use micro-expressions and criminal psychology appropriately.
Although Conan was the Child of Soul of this world, his five senses were still at the level of a mortal. There was no benefit in teaching him. On the contrary, it would only make him overthink things. Therefore, Fangzheng decisively rejected Conan's request, saying that it was impossible to teach this kind of thing to a child.
But Conan obviously had no intention of giving up just like that. Just like now …
How troublesome …
Sitting in the van, Fangzheng was rendered speechless as he looked at the group of tourists who were engrossed in conversation.
The reason he went out this time was because … he had been targeted by the Grim Reaper!
That's right!
The cause of this incident was that the little devil Conan had signed up for a Sherlock Holmes travel group. Fortunately, he was selected, and so he wanted to attend this party. Originally, a kid like him could not attend without a guardian. Mao Lilan was also a minor, but Mōri Kogoro was bored and had no interest in Sherlock Holmes, so he did not intend to attend. So Conan targeted Fangzheng and went to Dr. Agashi's house to act cute. Then, under Dr. Agashi's persuasion, Fangzheng reluctantly agreed to take Mao Lilan and Conan to attend the Sherlock Holmes fan club as Mao Lilan's guardian ….
But … you actually took the initiative to blackmail me?
Fangzheng's eyes turned cold as he looked at Conan, who was happily discussing with his fellow passengers which of the Sherlock Holmes series was the best. Of course, he could guess what the kid was up to. He was just unwilling to teach Conan, so Conan intended to learn from him through practical experience.
You're using me as a tool?
Hahaha, I didn't want to scheme against you, but you're scheming against me? Do you believe I won't flirt with Lan in front of you and make you wear a green helmet?!
The kind that can't be taken off?
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Fangzheng. I have to trouble you to come with us …."
Compared to the darn brat Conan, Xiaolan clearly knew how to conduct herself. At that moment, she came to Fangzheng's side and apologized softly.
"It's nothing. I have nothing to do anyway."
Fangzheng only smiled at Xiaolan.
"Besides, it's good to come out occasionally."
"Is that so …. I heard from Yuanzi that you're the president of a big company, so I thought you'd be very busy."
Seeing that Fangzheng did not seem unhappy, Lan breathed a sigh of relief. After the wedding, Lan also heard a lot about Fangzheng from Yuanzi. After all, Fangzheng was a young and promising talent in this world. He often represented the company at balls and had connections with the Suzuki consortium. Therefore, Yuanzi Suzuki and Fangzheng had some connections.
"It's because I'm the president that I have time to slack off. After all, I only need to preside over the big picture. The rest will be done by the slaves … .the subordinates."
"Is that so …. But thank you for your help. To be honest, I'm relieved to see Conan like this."
"Oh?"
"Because Conan usually looks very calm. He doesn't look like a child at all. Now that I see his innocent look, I'm relieved …."
As she spoke, Lan looked at Conan, who was happily discussing the plot of Sherlock Holmes with the passengers. Seeing this, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly.
"Miss Xiao Lan, did you think of someone?"
"Huh?"
Lan was taken aback when she heard Fangzheng's sudden question. Then, she smiled embarrassedly.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I'm thinking of a friend of mine. He also likes Sherlock Holmes very much. He's also an avid mystery fan …. Speaking of which, if he knows about this tour group, he'll definitely want to sign up."
Lan looked at Conan again with a smile on her face and remained silent. Fangzheng chuckled in his heart and retracted his gaze.
You little brat, you schemed against me, and I schemed against you. Now that there's no Kid and there's no Grief, let's see who can take the blame for you after Lan finds out your true identity!
In the evening, the group finally arrived at the hotel. The hotel owner, Kaneko, who was dressed as Sherlock Holmes, came to greet them in person. Not only that, Fangzheng and his party also met the famous detective from Osaka, Heiji Hattori …. Of course, the other party's target was Kudo Shinichi.
After that, Kaneko announced the next schedule: Tomorrow will be a day of free activities, and after dinner, there will be a super difficult mystery quiz. Those who can answer all the questions correctly will receive a prize – the first edition collection of Conan Doyle's "A Study in Scarlet"!
This prize naturally made all the Sherlock Holmes fans excited, but soon, Kaneko poured cold water on everyone's enthusiasm. He gave everyone a thick answer sheet called "Sherlock Holmes Quiz: A Thousand Questions", and said that only those with a total score of 990 or more would be eligible to participate in the quiz after dinner.
Hearing this, Fangzheng was certain – this guy was just messing with them!
After all, a thousand Sherlock Holmes questions was a joke, wasn't it? If you wanted to say it, a hundred questions would be enough, but a thousand? Are you trying to make things difficult for me, Fat Tiger?
After that, Kaneko expressed that to prevent cheating, he hoped that everyone would hand over their mobile phones and reference materials. Everyone naturally handed them over according to the boss's request. But when it came to Fangzheng's side ….
"I'm sorry, I'm only accompanying the main character to participate in this tour group as a guardian. Can I not take this test?"
Looking at the tray in front of him, Fangzheng decisively chose to refuse.
"Hmm …. That's not a problem, but if you're found cheating, you'll be kicked out of the hotel."
"That's not a problem. Boss, didn't you say that there are cameras and listening devices?"
"This …. Fine."
Kaneko was obviously a little unhappy with Fangzheng's refusal to cooperate, but as Fangzheng said, since Fangzheng did not intend to take the test, he naturally did not need to hand over his mobile phone.
After that, everyone else took their papers and went to answer the questions. Apart from sleeping, Fangzheng stayed in the restaurant and typed some code on his laptop.
There were mountains and rivers here, and the sea was just outside. The scenery was not bad. As for the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet", Fangzheng had no interest in it at all. If he wanted to, he could even easily get a picture of Sherlock Holmes' granddaughter bathing. What was a mere book to him?
"Ah, Mr. Fangzheng."
Just as Fangzheng was typing the code, he saw Xiaolan arrive at the restaurant. When she saw Fangzheng, she hurriedly walked over and greeted him.
"Are you working?"
"More or less, but it's all over now. Do you want to sit for a while?"
"Of course."
Xiaolan nodded in response to Fangzheng's invitation. Although it was a trip, she was the same as Fangzheng. She didn't fit in with these people. Most of them were holed up in their rooms, thinking hard about how to answer the 'Sherlock Holmes Quiz'. Even Conan was no exception. Therefore, the bored Xiaolan came to chat with Fangzheng.
"Mr. Fangzheng, what are you doing?"
"This is the surveillance system we plan to promote throughout Tokyo."
Fangzheng pointed to the screen and introduced it to Lan.
"I named it the Skynet System. It can monitor, filter, and store information. No one's every move in public space can escape the eyes of this system. "
"It looks like a science fiction movie …."
"Science fiction is human's imagination of the future. With this system, the crime rate can be greatly reduced, making it easier for the police to lock and track criminals. Once there is an accident such as a traffic accident, the police can also confirm the situation at the time of the accident through the surveillance. "
"I see. It sounds really awesome …."
"Of course, there are people who object to it. People often protest that this surveillance system violates personal privacy …. Haha, I just want to know, what kind of personal privacy is there in public? If you really want to protect your personal privacy, shouldn't you go to your personal space? Why do you have to emphasize personal privacy in public? "
"Hmm …. If that's the case …."
While Fangzheng and Lan were chatting, Conan also came over. He originally planned to find a place to calm down, but when he saw this scene, he was also stunned.
What's going on?
Why would Xiaolan be with Mr. Fangzheng?
Hmm …. Should I go and take a look?
Seeing the two talking happily, Conan hesitated for a moment. Finally, he looked at the answer sheet in his hand.
A thousand questions …. I haven't even finished answering them.
I should go and answer the questions first.
After thinking for a moment, Conan turned around and returned to his room.
But for some reason, he felt his head was a little heavy ….
Just like that, another day passed. Soon, it was evening again. After dinner, everyone except Fangzheng and Lan waited for Mr. Kinggrain to appear for the final reasoning test. However, to everyone's surprise, they waited until midnight, but Mr. Kinggrain did not appear.
Some people felt that they had been deceived and left angrily, while Conan, Hattori Heitji, and a few others continued to wait. They waited until three o 'clock in the morning. One of the guests inadvertently looked out the window.
"Huh? What's that? It's the innkeeper driving. "
"Oh? Is the reasoning test finally about to begin? "
Hearing this, the originally sleepy crowd hurriedly woke up and went to the window. They saw Mr. Kinggrain driving slowly forward.
"Wait, there's a cliff in front!"
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Hattori Heitji and Conan's expressions changed drastically at the same time. They pushed open the window and rushed directly to the car that was slowly driving towards the cliff.
"Hey, uncle, what are you doing? Stop the car!"
Hattori Heitji rushed to the window and knocked hard on it, shouting at the innkeeper inside. However, the innkeeper did not move, as if he did not hear Hattori Heitji's words at all.
"Hey … Hey …!"
"Get out of the way!"
Just as Hattori Heitji was knocking on the window anxiously, Fangzheng's voice suddenly rang out. Hattori Heitji saw Fangzheng suddenly rush to the window, raise his elbow, and smash a hole in the window. He quickly reached out to open the door from the inside, got in the car, pulled out the key, and pulled the handbrake in one go. Finally, just before the car was about to fall off the cliff, it slowly stopped.
"Phew …."
Seeing the car stop, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment, they found that it was not time for them to relax yet.
Because Mr. Kinggrain, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was dead!
After hearing the news of Mr. Kinggrain's death, everyone in the hotel gathered together. Hattori Heitji and Conan also began to check the traces and body. Judging from the body, there was no doubt that Mr. Kinggrain was killed by him. But who exactly killed him? And why did he disguise it as a car accident scene?
While the two were thinking hard, searching for clues, Fangzheng silently passed by them.
"The culprit is Mr. Kenji Toishi."
"…."
"… Huh?"
Hearing this, the two raised their heads in surprise and looked at Fangzheng.
"How did you know?"
Hattori Heitji looked at Fangzheng doubtfully.
"I saw it.
"I saw it. When I stopped the car, only Mr. Toshi looked surprised, and when he saw Mr. Kaneko's body, he was obviously very anxious. His original plan was for Mr. Kaneko to fall off the cliff with the car, but he didn't expect someone to force the door open and ruin his plan. That's why he panicked."
"Do you have any evidence?"
"No."
Fangzheng silently glanced at Hattori Heitji.
"I'm not a detective. I don't need evidence. I just need to see the problem from his expression and actions. Isn't it the detective's job to find evidence and clues?"
"Well, that's true …."
Hearing this, Hattori Heitji was completely speechless.
Although that's true, don't you dare spoil the story! If you spoil the culprit, what fun is there for us to speculate about!!
