Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Chapter 42: Kid, You Are Suspicious

"Okay, now please hand in your completed test papers to Miss. Please wait patiently for a moment. We will start the reasoning question and answer session later."

After dinner the next day, the hotel owner took everyone's test papers back to the room to correct them as promised.

Those who stayed behind began to discuss what problems might arise in the subsequent reasoning quiz.

"It should still be something related to Sherlock Holmes, right?"

"Maybe it's an adaptation of the case in the original book."

"Yesterday's test was very difficult."

Yun Xianhe and Hattori Heiji, who hadn't had a good rest all day, stood at the back of the crowd and yawned, causing Xiaolan to look at them several times:

"Didn't you get enough rest?"

"it's okay no problem."

Hattori Heiji laughed when asked.

Yun Xianhe responded vaguely, and his heterochromatic eyes calmly swept over everyone present.

I looked at the four enthusiastic Sherlock Holmes fans.

The boy finally fixed his gaze on Toba Kento, who was wearing glasses and looking a little absent-minded.

Is this the person? I can't be sure, it's just a guess.

Fujisawa glanced at the time on the wall, smiled and told them that he was going to the bathroom and left.

"Hattori."

"Really? You have to treat me to ramen when we get back."

"Hai Hai Yi——"

Kento Toba in the crowd glanced at Hattori Heiji who followed him out and raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't think much about it.

"Hey, big brother, how long did it take you to finish the test paper?"

"Ah, as for me, it took quite a lot of effort. I just finished writing it before dinner."

"Hey? Didn't big brother write last night?"

"No, because I felt a little uncomfortable after sitting in the car for a long time, so I rested early."

"That's it."

The little detective cleverly obtained information from everyone present by acting cute.

After getting Kento Toba's answer, Conan lowered his head slightly and smiled, with the light of truth reflected on his glasses.

Found the most important suspect.

"Yanren, you write really slowly."

"Hahaha, Ayako, please stop making fun of me."

boom!

A loud explosion was heard from outside.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment and looked at each other.

"What was that sound just now?"

Kogoro Mouri, who was standing by the window, immediately opened the window and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a raging fire coming from the garage.

“The garage is on fire!”

There were hurried footsteps in the corridor.

Conan ran over to open the door, and saw Hattori Heiji running out hurriedly with a fire extinguisher.

"Ms. Iwai! Where are the other fire extinguishers!?"

"Here, I'll get it!"

Several people quickly followed outside to put out the fire.

Yun Xianhe, who was walking at the back, noticed a hint of pleasure and excitement in the micro-expressions of that group of people.

Everyone worked together to put out the fire.

The hotel owner who arrived late felt his hands and feet go cold when he saw the garage that was burned beyond recognition.

He subconsciously glanced at Yun Xianhe, who shook his head slightly at him, indicating that it was not the right time yet.

After inspection by Kogoro Mori, he found that a big hole had been dug in the fuel tank of the car.

It can be determined that the fire was man-made, but the cause of the fire is still unknown.

"Fortunately no one was injured..."

Xiaolan sighed.

"What's going on? Why is everyone gathered here?"

Mr. Fujisawa, who had just come out of the bathroom, obviously missed the most crucial plot.

When hearing his voice, Yun Xianhe clearly saw that Toba Kento showed an expression of disbelief, but it was quickly suppressed by the other party.

The other person glared at Mr. Fujisawa fiercely from behind his lenses, but his face remained calm.

However, when he learned that the garage was on fire, the expression on Mr. Fujisawa's face became very terrified.

Obviously knows something.

"All in all, it seems that someone among us wanted to commit a crime, but this shoddy trick failed."

There was some anger in Kogoro Mori's voice.

I don’t know if his words irritated someone, but the other person’s hands hanging at his sides tightened fiercely.

The young man standing at the edge of the crowd narrowed his eyes slightly and put an energy tablet into his mouth.

found it.

After something like this happened, no one dared to act alone and all gathered in the restaurant to discuss the matter.

I hope to figure out how the whole thing happened before the police come.

At the same time, it also prevents the murderer hiding in the crowd from committing crimes again.

For safety reasons, the innkeeper did not return to his room alone.

He took the test papers directly to the site to correct them, which can be regarded as true openness.

After saying hello to Xiaolan, Conan ran over to find Yun Xianhe and sat obediently next to the boy.

Together with Hattori Heiji next to them, the three of them began to exchange information.

"That person's timing is off."

"You look wrong."

Hattori Heiji, who had just washed his hands outside, snorted coldly, looking a little angry:

"Fortunately, I went there first."

Of course, the fire could not have been started by themselves. This attempt was obviously not only risky but also expensive, but Fuyun Group could afford the loss.

Hattori Heiji glanced at a certain hidden rich man, put his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair:

"I smelled the gasoline smell as soon as I entered the garage. It was abnormally strong."

"Destroying the body is a good method."

Yun Xianhe commented calmly.

"What to say next?"

"If he fails to succeed in his next move, he will definitely not give up. Even if we are sure now, we don't have any concrete evidence, right? Everything is just speculation."

"That's true...but why did you bring him with you?"

Hattori Heiji looked at Conan, who was sitting between him and Yun Xianhe, with half-moon eyes, and always felt that something was wrong.

The last time he came to look for Kudo Shinichi, he discovered Conan.

When the other party was looking for clues with him, he just thought they were just kids playing around.

But just now, before he left, he saw this guy trying to get information with his own eyes.

And the calmness he showed when he was sharing the information with them just now.

A little child...

It's just too suspicious.

Osaka Chocolate half-bent over and stared at Conan, making the other man break out in a cold sweat.

After taking a look at the calm Yun Xianhe, Hattori Heiji moved closer to Conan and lowered his voice:

"Little boy, you are suspicious."

Still looks like a villain.

"Ahahahahaha...what's wrong, Heiji-nii?"

Conan raised his hand to stand between the two of them, smiled awkwardly at Hattori Heiji, and quietly moved towards Yun Xianhe.

Could it be that this guy has noticed that something is wrong with him?

Damn it, where did he get exposed?

The young detective, who is totally unaware of his inconsistent acting skills, is trying to figure out how to get away with it.

"I think I'll go make everyone some coffee."

"Then I'll help too."

The three ladies present stood up.

Seeing that Oki Ayako was also going, Kento Toba naturally followed.

"Hattori-kun."

"Really... count me in as one of the troublemakers."

"Hey? Hattori, are you coming too?"

Xiaolan looked a little surprised when she saw Hattori Heiji standing up.

Yun Xianhe, who was drinking hot water at the side, took out a packet of powder from his pocket and handed it to Hattori Heiji.

"Excuse me, Hattori-kun."

Your weak and pitiful friend has sent you a request for medicine.

Hattori Heiji took the bag of powder and looked at it carefully. The ingredient list was full of names of Chinese medicinal herbs.

Died of laughter, totally don't understand.

"Do you want me to add some sugar to it?"

Yun Xianhe twitched his lips and politely refused:

"Thank you, but no need."

He was really afraid that the other party would add a can of sugar to his mixture. After all, this stuff smelled very bitter.

Hattori Heiji shrugged and didn't force it. Who knows, the other party might like this taste.

Seeing Hattori Heiji being sent away, the nervous Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your acting skills need to be improved, Conan."

Yun Xianhe whispered and winked at Conan, who held his chin helplessly:

"understood."

There's nothing I can do about it, after all he is just a 17-year-old high school student.

I have long forgotten what I was like as a child, how can I possibly adapt?

Seeing that Conan seemed a little unconcerned, Yun Xianhe lowered his voice and added:

"You are just attracting the attention of a good person. If those people hiding in the dark suddenly discover you, a fake child who looks like a child prodigy..."

The young man sneered.

"Even if they are not sure whether you are Kudo or not, do you think an organization like theirs would want to kidnap a child and train him into a high-IQ criminal?"

"After all, in the eyes of most people, children are very easy to influence and change."

After Yun Xianhe said this, Conan swallowed back all the words he wanted to say in rebuttal.

He remembered what the other party said about dormancy.

Before you have the strength, any abilities that are far beyond ordinary people that you display may be targeted by others.

His identity is too sensitive.

"By the way, I asked Mr. Guang and the others to get you an ID for Edogawa. Your guardian is still your real mother."

Conan seemed quite happy listening to the first half of the conversation, but his smile froze on his face in the second half.

"Xianhe, you must never do such dangerous things in the future."

The young detective spoke very seriously, and Yun Xianhe answered very perfunctorily.

Just kidding, if something really goes wrong during the mission that is irreversible or has a huge impact, then that knife is absolutely necessary.

Restart quickly and do it again, try to make it perfect. If the score is high, the salary for completing the task will also be high.

Although he has accumulated enough energy to restart the world and maintain it,

But who would complain about having too much of that kind of thing?

After all, you are prepared for anything.

'Last time you said double the salary?'
