Conan: Tennis Boys' Scripted Murder

Chapter 23: Encounter in Osaka (2)

Miyano Osamu also saw the dark-skinned boy. He sighed and said, Hattori Heiji is here today, so it seems that today's case will not be small.

With two high school detectives working together, this case will only become more serious.

At this time, Yukimura Seiichi walked out of the bathroom, and Mouri Ran and the others also noticed this handsome young man.

"Hello."

He smiled and greeted everyone.

"Hello there!"

A blush floated on their faces, and Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha looked a little shy. Although they were not as exaggerated as Suzuki Sonoko when they met handsome guys, they also liked to look at handsome guys.

Hattori Heiji on the side and the smaller version of Kudo Shinichi who was holding a small cake on the other side noticed the expression of their own Qingmei and both showed half-moon eyes.

They were both jealous and thought to themselves, "How can this guy be handsome? He looks like a pretty boy."

Conan Edogawa left Kintaro Toyama who was immersed in the sea of ​​cakes and walked forward.

"Teacher Yukimura, why are you here too?"

"So this gentleman is Conan's teacher!"

"Yes, Sister Xiaolan, he is our art teacher."

Although he seemed to be explaining to Mao Lilan, in fact his detective radar was activated again, and he began to doubt the relationship between the people in front of him.

Yukimura Seiichi explained calmly, "Shiraishi and I both like gardening. We happened to be in the same communication group and became friends. This time we are here to discuss things about plant cultivation. We heard that this store is about to open, so we came to join in the fun."

They had thought of this reason in advance, and after carefully analyzing the intersections between the two of them, they found that gardening was the best shield.

Their U17 dormitory is nicknamed the "Plant Group".

“But doesn’t this restaurant only invite celebrities for trial operation?”

Mao Lilan forgot to lower the volume of her mumbling to herself, and everyone present heard it. The two detectives focused their eyes like searchlights on the three people opposite them.

Shiraishi Kuranosuke waved his hand and said, "I am not very talented, but I have published an essay about food, which is quite famous."

He didn't lie this time, he really received the invitation for this reason.

Miyano Osamu leaned close to Yukimura Seiichi's ear and said, "Why do I feel like Shiraishi is a bit cocky?"

"Maybe Kuranosuke was a little excited?"

After Shiraishi Kuranosuke met Edogawa Conan, his behavior was a little different from usual, which made his two good friends who knew him notice his difference.

While everyone was chatting, the host began to adjust the microphone. Everyone present realized that the restaurant owner was about to appear, and they all became very excited.

Most of the people who attended the opening ceremony were fans of the three bosses, including Edogawa Conan.

The host took the microphone and introduced the owners of 3K restaurant to everyone one by one.

The first is former boxer world champion Ricardo Barre, the second is 160kg Western Trophy thrower Mike Nord, and the last is Lekaitis, known as the "strongest steel fortress in Europe".

The moment the middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes appeared, Miyano Osamu keenly felt Edogawa Conan's inhalation.

"Conan likes Lekatis? This is not a good sign. The chances of him being the murderer or the victim increase dramatically."

The host's introduction continued, and not long after, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked to the front.

"I think the K in 3K is the dirty K. You three are surrounded by scandals. Are you here to make money?"

He is a notorious reporter, Ed Mack, who fabricates scandals about athletes to attract public attention.

After listening to Edogawa Conan and others' comments on that person, Yukimura Seiichi and others couldn't help but frown. They were all athletes before, and they hated this kind of people the most.

The public tends to follow trends, and even if the news is not true, it will be discussed by the public, and some people will even come up to them to "ask for the truth", which is a very annoying thing for athletes.

Miyano Osamu and Shiraishi Kuranosuke looked at each other. The two who knew the plot had already guessed who the deceased was in this case. With such a foul mouth and many enemies, it seemed normal for him to be murdered in the Conan world.

The first suspect has been identified, and that is Conan’s idol Lekatis.

However, neither Miyano Osamu nor Shiraishi Kuranosuke had any intention of intervening. They had received prompts from the system before that they still had the possibility of changing important NPCs, but these minor characters were not objects they could touch at will.

If they act rashly, they may be punished.

Besides, the murderer in this case most likely had some unavoidable reasons, so they didn't want to intervene even more.

Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?

Because of the disruption caused by the reporters, the atmosphere at the scene was no longer as cheerful as before.

The host showed good professionalism and immediately moved on to the next step, diverting everyone's attention as if nothing had happened.

"If you want to ask questions to the three bosses, please raise your hands."

The next second, Mao Lilan immediately raised her hand. It turned out that she wanted to ask for an autograph from her idol's childhood friend Kudo Shinichi who "didn't come". She also received a task from Lecates.

Everyone walked out of the hotel and went downstairs according to the host's instructions.

The three sports owners wanted to use lights to print a capital "K" on the building, which was his gift to everyone.

Mao Lilan used the intercom to communicate with the three people, telling them which direction the lights in the room were not turned on and the curtains were not drawn.

After the curtains of the last room were opened, three seconds later, a gunshot was heard.

"What's this?!"

Three detectives ran into the building first, including the dog-headed detective Kogoro Mouri.

Miyano Osamu sighed and chased after him, after all he was a policeman!

Afterwards, other people also ran in; they had a herd mentality.

They ran to the third room on the second floor and found that the reporter who had left early had been shot and fell to the ground.

The three detectives told their closest people, "Everyone stay away from going in. Sister Xiaolan/Heye/Xiaolan, call the police!"

Not long after, the police arrived at the scene. This was Osaka, and the main police officer was Officer Otaki, an old acquaintance of Hattori Heiji.

"What's going on, Heiji?"

Officer Otaki chose to question the person he was most familiar with.

Hattori Heiji clearly introduces the identity of the deceased and the relationship between the three owners of the 3K restaurant.

Rica Barre was falsely accused by reporters of cheating during the game, Mike Nord was exposed to have an affair, and Lekaitis was involved in a drug scandal.

The three men won the lawsuits against the reporter, proving that the charges were all false, except for Mike Nord.

Miyano Osamu, Edogawa Conan and Hattori Heiji all found that the deceased's posture before death was somewhat strange, and thought that this was the pre-death message left by the deceased to identify the murderer.
