Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 691 Conversation at the dinner table
"Hey? How do you know?"

For Yuanzi to know about the waiter's situation, Xiaolan asked a little surprised.

"He was staring at us at the gate, so I asked the hotel people."

Sonoko explained.

"Then why is he here to help?"

Seeing the waiter quickly continue to be busy in this restaurant, Xiaolan continued to ask.

"That's probably because the owner of this place and the tile house hotel where we stayed must be the same."

Sonoko glanced at the back of the waiter, and said slightly depressed.

"Huh? Are you staying at the Tile House Hotel?"

However, when Sonoko told her where she and Xiaolan lived, Masahiko Michiwaki couldn't help asking in surprise.

"Yes."

Xiaolan nodded at this.

"Isn't it near here?"

Michiwaki Masahiko smiled and said:
"I live in the Izu Princess Hotel over there. How about we go to the high-end restaurant of the hotel where I live tonight and have a meal, and then go to the fireworks display?"

"Hey! Really! That's great!"

Hearing this, Yuanzi couldn't help but said in surprise.

But for this, Xiaolan felt Masahiko Mowaki's serious attitude towards Sonoko, thought for a while, waved his hand, and said:
"Then... Conan and I won't go. After all, we attended the fireworks display yesterday..."

"Hey? Xiaolan, are you not going?"

Hearing this, Sonoko couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and then bowed his head in silence for a while, then hesitatingly considered whether to go to the fireworks display——

After all, the fireworks display had indeed been attended last night.

"You are talking about the fireworks display near your hotel yesterday, right? That scene is completely incomparable to the fireworks display tonight!"

However, looking at the hesitant attitude of the two girls in front of him, Michiwaki Masahiko added:

"After all, tonight's scene is the highlight!"

"Really!"

Hearing this, Yuanzi couldn't help but feel moved, and saw her clasping her hands together, expecting as if praying.

—— "Oh, you are going to the fireworks display near that luxury hotel?"

However, before Sonoko was happy for too long, a disappointing voice sounded again——

I saw that the waiter before put the fried noodles ordered by Yuanzi on their table, and asked aloud as if he heard the conversation of several people.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Regarding this, Yuanzi glared at the waiter who broke the happy atmosphere just now with a displeased face, and asked in a deep voice.

"No, nothing."

In a flat tone, the waiter explained:

"If you just go there, remember not to run around alone. It's better to go with a few more reliable friends."

"Why?"

Even more displeased, Sonoko asked the young waiter's words like a lecture, as if resisting.

"Haven't you heard of it these days? There was an accident on the beach near that hotel."

The waiter continued to explain in his flat tone.

"Has something happened?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan and Yuanzi couldn't help but looked at each other, feeling a little strange, and at the same time, Conan, who was originally very bored, seemed to be interested in this——

"Oh, speaking of this, I did hear it from the local people."

However, without waiting for the waiter to continue talking, Michiwaki Masahiko seemed to remember what the other party wanted to say, and explained:

"It seems to say that a year ago, a woman with long brown hair was stabbed several times in the abdomen."

"murdering case?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan and Yuanzi couldn't help but seem a little scared, while Conan cheered up.

"Yes."

In this regard, the waiter followed Masahiko Michiwaki's words and said in detail:

"The woman was killed on the way to that luxury hotel. Because there are no witnesses, the case is still under investigation. Since the murder happened a year ago, tourists have already forgotten what happened at that time, and Business at that hotel has not been affected either. But the killer has not been caught, so better go there and be careful."

After speaking, the waiter left.

"Ah, this kind of thing is okay."

However, after the waiter left, looking at the two girls who were indeed intimidated by the incident a year ago mentioned by the waiter, Masahiko Michiwaki couldn't help but comfort him:

"It's not like you two ladies just go there, we're going together, and I'll drive you off. So no matter what, I'll protect you, and nothing will happen to you!"

"Um……"

In this regard, listening to Daowaki Masahiko's words, Sonoko and Xiaolan couldn't help but gradually feel at ease...

……

The sun is sinking--

In the open-air restaurant of the Izu Princess Hotel, Gao Yuan, Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Sayama were sitting at a table, ordered some drinks and meals, and chatted together.

"So, when Mr. A Li came to chat with us, he was actually interrogating us to see if we might be the 'Night Baron'?"

At this time, when the conversation was about the same, Maeda Satoshi asked with a helpless smile.

"Yeah, after all, the suspects have to be ruled out one by one!"

Gao Yuan said seriously.

"But if I have to say it, everyone now agrees that Mr. A Li, you are the most likely candidate for the 'Dark Baron'! Are you trying to get rid of your suspicion by interrogating us like this? ?”

In response to this, Akiko Sayama twirled her fingertips around one side of her hair, showing a handsome expression, and asked Gao Yuan instead.

"Oh, who knows!"

Interestingly, Gao Yuan put his hands on the table, leaned his chin on the folded hands, looked at Akiko Sayama seriously and said——

"Perhaps, from the beginning, this whole event was a hoax!"

So, Gao Yuan stared at Akiko Sayama and said.

Immediately, the atmosphere on the table became a little subtle.

Gao Yuan and Akiko Sayama stared at each other suspiciously, which made Satoshi Maeda look very awkward between the two——

"Ah! No matter whether it is a scam or not, it is an indisputable fact that we have already paid half of the room rate. Even if we are all tricked by that 'Night Baron' in the end, it might be a good thing to come here for a few days , isn't it?"

Regarding this, Satoshi Maeda couldn't help but smooth things over, and then said to Akiko Sayama with a wry smile:

"Mingzi, you are too, why don't you be so serious?"

"so……"

Seeing the attitude of the two, Gao Yuan suddenly smiled, then sat up straight, as if he had just deduced the result, and told a fact in the original work——

"Actually, the person who signed up for this event is Ms. Sayama Akiko... right?"

"Hey?"

Regarding this, Satoshi Maeda couldn't help but look blank, watching Akiko Sayama take a sip of the drink in front of him as if he was a bit defeated, Satoshi Maeda said to Gao Yuan in surprise:
"It's true... Akiko signed up, but she is a loyal reader of Kudo Yusaku, and she especially loves the character 'Night Baron'!"

Helpless, Maeda Satoshi explained with a smile.

"Humph……"

In this regard, Akiko Sayama said with an unconvinced face after drinking the water:
"That's right! When it comes to 'The Baron', I definitely know better than anyone else! For this reason, I even cut my hair like him!"

Saying that, Akiko Sayama brushed her hair back——

"Yes!"

And Gao Yuan nodded in agreement, took a sip of the iced Americano in front of him, and said lightly:
"It was said at the event that the host will dress up as a 'baron' in the past few days to create certain events, and because of this, it would be more appropriate for your hairstyle to be dressed as a 'baron of the night', isn't it?"
