Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

stab-

"Hey, your phone is smoking!"

Following Henggou Chanwu's terrified voice, Yun Xianhe quickly removed the battery from his phone.

The display screen half hanging above was slowly emitting black smoke.

After the heat of the phone subsided, Yun Xianhe put the battery back.

When I turned the computer on again, a large black stripe appeared on the screen.

Zizi——sizzle!

Seeing that something was wrong, Yun Xianhe made a quick decision and threw his phone into the corner of the room beside him!

The phone fell to the ground with a crisp "pop!" sound, and a large amount of black smoke came out, and it was completely scrapped.

This gave the rest of the people a big fright.

Yun Xianhe wiped his face helplessly and complained:

"This model of phone is really not usable..."

Everyone who heard what he said twitched their lips.

Not resistant?

...why don't you look at what you are saying.

As he spoke, everyone saw him stand up and pull out the memory card and phone card from the pile of debris in the corner, then he took out a seemingly intact mobile phone from his pocket and fiddled with it to put the cards in it.

Henggou Chanwu silently moved a little further away.

"What was that sound just now?"

Shiratori, who was stunned, was brought back to her senses by Ayanokouji's voice on the phone.

He said quickly:

"Nothing. You just said that two hours ago, Hattori Heiji also asked the same question, right?"

"Yes, you can try to give him a call, you may get something unexpected."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Shiratori Renzaburo exchanged a few polite words with Ayanokouji and then hung up the phone.

It just so happened that Yun Xianhe successfully activated the backup mobile phone.

"Leave the task of calling Hattori to me."

Inspector Megure took a look at Yun Xianhe's phone, and after making sure it would not explode directly, he nodded in agreement.

The call was quickly connected, and Yun Xianhe took the initiative:

"Hey, good afternoon, Hattori."

"Xianhe, what's the matter? Why did you remember to call me? Could it be that you are also here for that case?"

"You guessed it right. I'm with Inspector Megure and the others right now. They want to ask you if you investigated that case two hours ago."

"Yes, I am a little interested in that case. By the way, didn't Conan send you the information?"

Hattori asked with some confusion.

When they finished the phone call not long ago, Kudo said he would give the message to Yun Xianhe.

Yun Xianhe glanced at the mechanical debris in the corner and said calmly:

"I sent it, but the phone exploded, so I can't show it to Officer Megure and the others as evidence."

"…Huh? What exploded?"

"That's not the point."

"..."

This is the key point.

Hattori Hangetsu on the other end of the phone glanced at the microphone in his hand, and then complained:

"You must have done something shocking again, right? You're not hurt, right? No, you must be hurt, right? Is it serious?"

It has to be said that as one of Yun Xianhe's rare friends, Hattori knows his extraordinary friend very well.

After all, jumping off a cliff or something like that... leaves a pretty deep impression.

The hero, whose current situation was directly guessed, laughed dryly and chose to hang up:

"Hahaha…I'll explain it to you when I have time. We still have to continue our meeting. Let's talk later, Hattori."

If you say a few more words, your family background will be guessed.

"Hey, wait a minute! I recently found a really delicious teppanyaki restaurant, remember to come and eat with Conan when the time comes!"

"Next time, I'll find you and we'll eat together."

"It's agreed."

"Uh-huh, bye--"

Hattori looked at the hung up phone in silence, and after a while he let out a long sigh.

"Really..."

Take care of your health.

After hanging up the phone, Yun Xianhe looked at everyone:

"Hattori said he did check it out."

You didn't say anything else, did you? What did the other party say? Why did you hang up so quickly?

Shiratori Renzaburo chose to hint with his eyes.

Yun Xianhe, who didn't understand the other party's gossiping mentality, said directly:

"Let's sort out the intelligence, Officer Shiratori."

Shiratori, who didn't get to eat the melon, also realized that he had gone off topic.

He coughed lightly, adjusted his attitude, and began to repeat what Ayanokouji had just said - about the fire in the hotel in Kyoto two years ago, and the death of Nanako Motogami.

"Ayanokouji said that the person who died in the fire, Nanako Motogami, was a very young girl. Her boyfriend, Kousuke Mizutani, also went to investigate the fire a year ago."

After saying that, Bai Niao looked at Yun Xianhe.

The latter nodded and added:

"Hattori said the same thing just now. Moreover, Conan visited Mr. Mizutani's neighbors and Miss Motogami's relatives not long ago. According to Miss Motogami's brother, Mizutani sent a bouquet of flowers to the Motogami residence this morning and left some unclear words - 'There are eight unforgivable people, and there is only one left.'"

Everyone's eyes froze upon hearing this.

Megure said in a serious tone:

"That means the murderer is planning to kill one more person, right?"

"Sir, the murderer should be Mizutani Kousuke, right?"

Ogino Ayami said in the audience.

Hearing this, Matsumoto Kiyonaga glanced at the documents spread out on the table:

"Well, it should be almost certain. But who is the remaining person..."

"Mr. Xianhe has just explained that the letters on the back of the mahjong tiles represent the astrological signs. So what is this black line?"

Takagi on the side frowned as he looked at the information in his hand.

Yun Xianhe recalled the message he had seen on the exploded phone not long ago, and began to explain:

"The elevator door."

"Elevator door?"

"Well, that's what Hattori speculated. Because the elevator of the hotel that caught fire at the time was limited to seven people, and there were eight passengers on the entire sixth floor at the time. In order to survive, the others pushed Motogami Nanako, who was originally on the elevator, out."

Everyone who heard this suddenly understood.

Having sorted out his thoughts, Yokomizo Shigego said:

"I see. In this case, the murderer's motive is very clear."

At the same time, the possibility that the murderer is Kousuke Mizutani is greater.

But Yun Xianhe always felt something was strange.

[Sir, those children have come to the woods. ——09]

The robot team chat box in the system suddenly popped up.

Yun Xianhe pretended to be thinking seriously and lowered his eyes to look at the message from the other party.

In the surveillance camera footage left at the entrance of the woods, the three detective team members excitedly ran into the woods where the real Matsumoto Kiyonaga was imprisoned.

Mitsuhiko, who was walking in the middle, was holding an insect box containing rhinoceros beetles in his arms.

Judging from the fact that they were walking in a purposeful manner and looking around from time to time, they must be looking for something.

Could it be that these children also discovered the meaning of the tape on the rhinoceros beetle?

Thinking of this, Yun Xianhe replied:

[Hand over to Qilichu, and take care of him to prevent him from meeting the winery. If necessary, let Qilichu come forward and try to persuade them to leave until I send you a message. - Brave]

[Understood. —09]

[How are the people? — Brave Man]
