Conan: Tennis Boys' Scripted Murder

Miyano Osamu and Yukimura Seiichi have the same idea. As long as Conan is there, Kirihara Akaya's safety can be guaranteed, and they can escape danger no matter what happens.

Miyano Osamu immediately forgot about the fact that Kirihara Akari was not at home. The most important thing now was to ensure that he would not get food poisoning.

"Jingshi, let me cook."

As soon as he said this, he saw an unusually bright smile on Yukimura Seiichi's face, and he seemed to see blooming lilies behind him.

Kirihara Akaya, who was mentioned by them, had no idea that his senior Miyano was struggling for survival.

The Young Detectives were driven by Clock to the Angels' Hall, where there were four angel statues in the east, south, west and north.

The faces of these four angel statues are very similar to Yuriko Matsunaka's great-grandmother. Ise Sangokawa specifically asked the designer to do this in memory of his deceased wife.

As the executor of the will, Zhong Shi introduced the situation here to the young detectives.

"The building behind the South Angel is called the South Pavilion. This is where the old gentleman stayed when he was dying. The West Pavilion is where the master usually handles his work, and the North Pavilion is where servants and children live."

There are four directions in total: east, south, west and north, but the clock only missed the introduction of the East Hall.

Ai Huihara pointed at the house and asked, "Is that the one that looks like a haunted house the East Building? What is it used for?"

Zhong Shi shook his head. "Before he died, the master told us not to allow anyone to approach the East Hall, so we didn't clean it up. I don't know what they did specifically."

In addition to four angel statues, this Angel Hall also has many bronze statues related to cows.

Now Kirihara Akaya and the others are standing in front of the South Pavilion, and in front of them there is a bronze statue with a human body and a bull's head.

"What is this guy?"

Huiyuan Ai knew this very well, and explained calmly: "A minotaur. In the stock market, a bull is a symbol of power. There is also a bronze statue of a bull on Wall Street in New York, the financial center."

Conan recalled the story of Ise Sangogawa's rise to wealth, and nodded in agreement: "It makes sense that he likes bronze statues of cows. For people who play the stock market, cows are the guardian gods."

The sun had already set, and they were suddenly aware of a blinding light.

The clock explained to them: "This is one of the security systems arranged by the master before his death. It will automatically turn on when the time comes."

Haibara Ai turned around and asked, "Even if Mr. Ise-san passes away, should we continue?"

"Yes, the treasure that the master placed here has not been taken away, so the security system has been turned on all the time. And not only the security system, but also me, cannot leave the Angel's Hall casually."

At this time, Yoshida Ayumi put her hand on Edogawa Conan's shoulder and said, "Conan, this angel statue has become so scary!"

As she said this, she trembled involuntarily, and the children's eyes were focused on the angel statue above their heads.

Kojima Genta swallowed subconsciously, "Gudong... It's really scary."

Huiyuan Ai actually became interested. "It's an angel's house during the day and a witch's house at night. Interesting."

Kirihara Akaya was not afraid of the scene in front of him at first, but when he noticed that his friends around him were all frightened, he suddenly got goosebumps.

"Is there something unclean here? Doesn't the clock say that Ise-san died here?"

Seeing that these children were really scared, Zhong Shi quickly took them to the fifth house in the heart of the entire Angel House - it was called the Bull House.

So as soon as they entered, Ayumi Yoshida was startled by the statue standing in the center, and she grabbed Conan's little hand.

Genta Kojima and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya performed well this time. They overcame their inner fears and stood in front of Ayumi Yoshida.

"Ayumi, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

"Me too. Although I am a little overwhelmed, I will try my best."

There were four little boys in total. Conan, Kojima Genta and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko had all overcome their fear. Only Kirihara Akaya was holding onto Haibara Ai's sleeve.

"Haibara-san, is that statue scary? If it's scary, I won't look at it."

The corners of Haibara Ai's mouth twitched. Why didn't she realize that he was so timid before?

Summarizing what she saw and heard along the way, Yuriko Matsunaka really couldn't imagine that her gentle and kind mother had lived in this place since she was a child, so she asked if she didn't understand.

Zhong Shi was obviously quite familiar with her family's situation. "Even though Miss Yuriko's mother moved away with her parents, she often came here to visit the master because she missed him."

Conan didn't really want to know the details; he was more focused on the puzzle.

"Uncle Clock, can you tell us the riddle that Mr. Ise-san posed?"

Clock glanced at his watch, "Sorry, it's not time to announce the puzzle yet."

Conan keenly caught this point and asked: "Since you said so, the puzzle has a lot to do with time, right?"

Clock smiled and avoided the question.

"It's getting late. I'll take you to where you'll be staying for the next two days and let you have a meal. Please follow me to the North Building."

Conan curled his lips. Since the other party was unwilling to tell him, he could only wait.

All I can say is that the chef at Angel's House has great skills. With just one meal, he has captured the hearts of most of the Young Detective Team.

Kojima Genta held his round belly and sighed, "Ah, I'm so full!"

Just then, a reminder sound came from the large clock in the restaurant.

The clock also announced that the time had come.

"Next, I will reveal the riddle to you. When the horns on the bull's head disappear and the tail becomes the head, an angel will descend from the sky and play a flute. That tone is where my treasure is."

Kirihara Akaya and the others were confused and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all.

Kojima Genta was the first to ask: "Are these the only few words?"

"Yes."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya took out a notebook and wrote down what he had just heard. His memory was pretty good, so Haibara Ai reminded him of the last half of the sentence.

Conan stared at his watch subconsciously, thinking to himself: "From now on, I have to complete the deduction within 24 hours, that is, before 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. But which cow is he referring to?"

There are many bull-head statues in the Angel's Hall, and it is unlikely that they can eliminate them one by one.

Before they acted, Zhong Zhong kindly reminded them, "Everyone must be cautious when they act, because the security devices installed by the master during his lifetime are even more terrifying. Among those who came to challenge him before, some were seriously injured, and some are even missing."

No, are you sure this is a hint and not a threat?
