After that, everyone went to do their own things.
Since there would not be any new guests coming to the hotel today, Kogoro suggested that the hotel chef, Miss Minobu, who was scolded by Chizuru Kobayashi last night, go out for a walk. As for himself, he planned to stay in the hotel for a day and watch Yoko Okuno's concert and TV series. He was a typical otaku.
In the end, Kogoro Mori, the Shimasato sisters, and Chizuru Kobayashi stayed in the hotel. Fangzheng, Lan, Conan, Mouri, the hotel manager, Mr. Arimori, and Miss Minobu Kobayashi went to the plateau to relax. Chizuru Kobayashi's husband, Mr. Seishimoto, planned to go fishing with the president of the entertainment company.
Manager Arimori gave the master key to Kogoro Mori for safekeeping. After all, he was a famous detective.
Everyone decided to go out for a day and come back for barbecue in the evening.
Miss Minobu Kobayashi drove Fangzheng, Lan, Conan, and Mouri to the plateau, while Mr. Arimori followed them in another car. That was the start of the day's journey.
It had to be said that if there were no murders, going out for a trip would be a very relaxing thing. Fangzheng had already come to terms with it. Regardless of when someone died, they still had to enjoy what was meant to be enjoyed. Look at how good Lan and Conan were. Basically, every time they went out to play or eat, someone would die, but they did not go out at all...
Lying on the soft grass and looking at the azure sky, it was indeed a pleasure to let go of one's soul.
"By the way, you don't seem to be interested in developing an antidote."
Thinking of this, Fangzheng could not help turning his head to look at Asahara, who was lying beside him. He remembered that in the anime, Asahara seemed to have been studying how to turn herself back into an adult. Although she had not succeeded in making an antidote, she had also made a medicine that could be used.
But in fact, Fangzheng found that Asahara did not seem to be interested in making an antidote. She was also enjoying her current life.
"What's wrong with that? If I turn into a child, it won't be easy for the organization to find me. "
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Asahara stretched her back and exuded a strong smell of salted fish.
"Besides, regaining youth is every girl's dream. You don't know how envious my sister is. At least now, I don't have to count the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes in the mirror every morning."
"…"
Wah, if you say this in front of Ming Mei, I'm afraid that we won't even be sisters anymore. We'll fight on the spot.
"Moreover, I've always hoped to be able to live like ordinary sisters with my big sister. Isn't this not bad?"
"Oh …"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng more or less understood Little Grief's thoughts. In the anime, Little Grief was helpless because her sister was dead and she was wanted by the organization. As a child, she wanted to return to her original state as soon as possible. But now that Miyano Akemi was still alive and he had found a backer, he naturally became a salted fish.
He recalled that Little Grief had also said that because their parents were members of the organization and because the two sisters had basically grown up under the organization, it was naturally impossible for them to live an ordinary life. Now that there was such a chance to make up for her regret, Xiao Ai would not want to return to her original state.
Right at this moment, Xiaolan also called out to the two of them.
"Xiao Ai, Mr. Fangzheng, come and play with us!"
"Forget it. We have nothing to do anyway. Let's enjoy ourselves."
Fangzheng stood up and walked over to Xiaolan and Conan with Xiao Ai.
"Do you want me to tell you a story?"
"…"
Hearing this, Xiaolan and Conan's expressions changed slightly, and they shook their heads at the same time. What a joke. Tell a story? The psychological trauma of the last time at the mansion was still there, especially Xiaolan. After that, she was scared to death every time she saw a caterpillar …
"No, no, no, Mr. Fangzheng, why don't we … play badminton?"
"Sure."
After that, Fangzheng and Xiaolan played badminton, while Xiao Ai and Conan watched from the side. Miss Zimon was the referee, while Manager Arimori prepared lunch.
At first, the two sides were just playing around, but soon, Xiaolan became serious. After all, she was the captain of the Karate Club, so she had good athletic ability. Seeing that her spikes were easily blocked by Fangzheng several times, Xiaolan's competitive spirit was aroused. She quickly sped up. Then, the two of them played with each other.
"Come on, Sister Xiaolan!"
Conan was cheering for Xiaolan from the side, but right at this moment, Xiao Ai came to his side.
"Edogawa-kun."
Hearing Hayawara calling his name, Conan turned to look at her in confusion. Unlike in the anime, Conan did not know the true identity of Hayawara. However, he did notice that the girl named Hayawara was a very mysterious and calm person. She was also quite smart. Conan had to admit that he got along quite well with her.
"Hayawara? What's wrong? "
"Don't you think they're very similar?"
Xiao Ai looked at Conan with a smile, then turned to look at Xiaolan and Fangzheng, who were playing tennis.
"I think Sister Xiaolan seems to like Brother Fangzheng."
"… ….."
Conan's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
"Hahaha, that's impossible …."
"Maybe Sister Xiaolan will become Brother Fangzheng's bride."
Xiao Ai was not afraid of making things worse. She looked forward again. Conan let out a hollow laugh and turned his head back. But unlike before, this time he observed carefully and found that Xiaolan seemed to be quite happy …. No, it's because they were playing together on the plateau that Xiaolan was so happy. It can't be because of Fangzheng, right? After all, they ….
Huh? Come to think of it, Xiaolan and Fangzheng were very familiar with each other, and Fangzheng was very enthusiastic every time he saw Xiaolan. Besides, he was very handsome. Xiaolan seemed to have said that Fangzheng was very popular ….
Thinking of this, Conan suddenly felt his head sink.
"Sister Xiaolan, I want to play too!!"
The next moment, he raised his hands and rushed at Xiaolan while shouting.
Xiao Ai looked at Conan's back with her hands behind her back. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile.
For her, observing the shrunken high school detective Kudo Shinichi had almost become a kind of pleasure.
He was much more interesting than being a lab rat.
After that, they enjoyed lunch on the plateau, then took a short nap. They only left when the sun set. Mr. Arimori had a problem with the car's engine, so he had to wait for a while.
When they returned to the hotel, it was already evening. Mouri Kogoro was still sitting in the hall, shouting at Yoko Okino's concert non-stop.
"Dad, we're back."
Xiaolan also greeted Mouri Kogoro.
"The plateau is really interesting, and we found a strange butterfly …."
But before Lan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mouri Kogoro, saying that he had disturbed his concert. Looking at Kogoro at this moment, Fangzheng was reminded of the children in his previous life who were called to dinner by their parents while watching cartoons …
They were all the same.
After that, Mr. Seiji and the president, who went fishing, also returned to the hotel. They returned with a full load. Mr. Seiji went to call his wife, while Fangzheng planned to take Xiao Ai back to the room on the second floor to rest. However, when they reached the door of their room, they saw Mr. Seiji knocking on the door anxiously.
"Hey, Chizuru, Chizuru, did you hear me? Answer me! "
"What's wrong? Mr. Seiji? "
Seeing this scene, Fangzheng came over with Xiao Ai. Mr. Seiji also looked at the two of them.
"Ah, Mr. Fangzheng …. Something's not right. There's no response from inside …."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng pricked up his brows.
"I'm going to ask Mr. Mouri for the master key."
After saying this, Mr. Seiji hurriedly ran downstairs. Watching him leave, Fangzheng and Xiao Ai looked at each other.
"It can't be …."
"It should be the one you're thinking of."
Fangzheng shrugged and yawned.
"I knew something would happen. Just wait."
"…."
This time, Xiao Ai did not say anything. She just stood there quietly. Then, Mr. Seiji came back again, sweating profusely. He opened the door with the master key, but … the door was locked from the inside!
"Chizuru? Chizuru, are you there? Answer me! "
Mr. Seiji knocked on the door hard and shouted again, but there was still no response from inside.
"Let me do it."
At this time, Fangzheng came over and signaled Mr. Seiji to step back. He then kicked the door hard.
"Bang!!"
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open. Then, Fangzheng walked into the room and looked inside. Then, he saw the corpse of Qizuru Beisen hanging from the ceiling.
Hmm … it's a trap.
"Chizuru!"
At this time, Mr. Seiken also rushed into the room and looked at Qianhe Bei Zen hanging from the ceiling. He was also shocked. Fangzheng stepped forward and reached out to check Chizuru's pulse and neck.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Seiji. She's dead."
"How …."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Mr. Seiji took two steps back and sat on the ground.
"Hey, what happened?"
At this time, Mouri Kogoro, Conan, and the president also ran up when they heard the noise. When they saw Chizuru's body in the room, they were also speechless.
"Let's call the police first."
While saying that, Fangzheng took out his mobile phone.
It was a little different from what he expected, but … a trap is a trap after all.
After Fangzheng called the police, it didn't take long for the police to arrive. They began to investigate the scene and perform an autopsy. The autopsy showed that he had died from compression of the neck. From this point of view, it was definitely suicide.
Fangzheng also revealed his identity and told the criminal police in charge of the investigation what happened.
"Do you think it's suicide or homicide?"
After Fangzheng finished explaining the situation, Xiao Ai also came over and asked doubtfully. Fangzheng shrugged.
"It's 100% a homicide disguised as suicide. Why don't we guess who the murderer is?"
"Is there a need to guess? You should already know who the murderer is. "
Xiao Ai also knew about Fangzheng's superb ability to analyze micro-expressions.
That was why she said that. However, Fangzheng shrugged.
"If the murderer was here, then I would definitely see through it. Unfortunately, the murderer isn't here."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ai was stunned.
"Isn't it Mr. Seiji? I thought he couldn't stand his wife's tyranny, so he killed her. "
"That's indeed the motive, but unfortunately, I guessed wrong."
Fangzheng shook his head. When the body was first discovered, Fangzheng also observed Mr. Seiji's expression. His shock and grief at that time were real. Moreover, if it was really the murderer, when the body was discovered, the murderer would instinctively show joy, nervousness, or worry. However, Seiji did not have such a reaction at all.
Not only him, the president who came up later was the same.
Therefore, Fangzheng confidently said that the murderer was not among them!
