I'm writing a novel in Ming Ke, if you mess with me, you'll be the heroine

Maori Kogoro quickly comforted Zeli Xun: "Don't be impulsive, have you encountered any difficulties?"

"I……"

Before Sawakuri Isao could speak, the phone at the detective agency rang. He looked unhappy, but still motioned for Maori Kogoro to answer the phone: "You should know what to say and what not to say, Mr. Maori."

Kogoro Mouri nodded repeatedly and answered the phone. It was Azusa Enomoto from the Poirot restaurant downstairs. She heard what seemed to be gunshots upstairs and asked if something had happened.

Kogoro Mouri quickly made an excuse that the remote control was broken when he was watching TV, causing the volume to suddenly become extremely loud.

After hanging up the phone, Ze Lixun curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction. Just as he was about to state his request, he heard a red flip phone among the pile of mobile phones that had just been handed in, with the light of an incoming call flashing.

Xiaolan looked over and said, "That - it seems to be my cell phone..."

Ze Lixun was furious: "Why didn't you turn off your phone just now!!!"

Seeing that he seemed to want to hang up directly, Shiliang suddenly thought of something and quickly reminded him: "Hanging up the phone suddenly and turning it off will arouse suspicion."

Sawakuri Xun looked as straight-headed as vodka. Hearing this, he looked up at Sera and asked, "Why?"

Sera began to lead the way: "Because if the call doesn't go through, the other party might come over to see you out of worry, so I think it's more appropriate to answer the phone now and deal with it, just like Detective Mori did just now."

As she said that, she pushed Xiaolan towards the table. Zeli Xun might have remembered the beating he had just received from the two men. Seeing the two men passing by him, he subconsciously took a step back and said, "You can answer the phone, but if you say something you shouldn't, don't blame me for being rude."

Xiaolan picked up the phone and answered the call at the kidnapper's eye signal.

"Sister Xiaolan..." As soon as the call was connected, Conan's voice came out, "Is it not the right time for me to call?"

Xiaolan subconsciously looked at the kidnapper and denied, "No, I was in the kitchen just now and my phone was not beside me, so I was slow to answer. What happened when you called me?"

"It's actually nothing serious..." Conan's voice sounded particularly awkward, "I just heard from Genta and the others that Xiaolan was walking on the street with a boy she didn't know after school that night..."

Xiaolan was somewhat surprised and was amused by Conan's weird thoughts: "It's not some unfamiliar boy, he just transferred to our class today--"

Before Xiaolan could tell Sera that she was actually a girl, Sera snatched the phone away: "That's me they saw! Okay, you already know who it is, so let's leave it at that for now and enjoy camping tomorrow!"

After saying that, she closed the screen of her phone and smiled at Ze Lixun: "This should be fine, right?"

She put the phone back on the table and silently pushed Xiaolan back.

Sawakuri Xun didn't notice it, but Chu Ming saw it clearly. Sera didn't hang up the phone at all. While she closed the screen of her phone, she stuffed the sea cucumber man pendant on Xiaolan's phone between the screen and the button to maintain the call.

After she brought Xiaolan back to their original position, she found that Zelixun did not suspect anything, so she urged: "What exactly do you want Detective Maori to do?"

Sawakuri Isao didn't even notice that his phone was still on. He threw a stack of information in front of Maori Kogoro, with a trace of grief in his eyes: "My sister, Sawakuri Miku, is a best-selling author who won the Naoki Prize at a young age, but the police said that she committed suicide in a hot spring hotel some time ago. But I don't think so! She must have been killed by one of the three people who took a hot spring bath with her! These in front of you are the information I collected, and I need you to help me deduce who killed my sister!"

Chu Ming blinked. Naoki Prize, it sounds familiar. Wasn't there someone who won the Naoki Prize before? I think his name was -- Imatake Satoshi? He also became famous after winning the prize.

Tsk tsk tsk, this award is like a death notice...

But he could have just come directly to Kogoro Mori to commission an investigation, so why did he have to make a bomb?

Is it because you don’t want to pay the commission fee?

Ze Lixun seemed to have been trapped in the sad news of losing his sister. He held the bomb trigger tightly and swept his bloodshot eyes over the three ladies behind him: "Mr. Mao Li, you don't have to worry. You just need to point out who killed my sister, and I will kill the murderer and avenge my sister. As for me, after helping my sister to avenge, I will naturally disappear from this world."

"However, my patience is limited. If you delay too long, my bombs will explode..."

Time passed minute by minute, Chu Ming yawned silently, and his body, which was originally sitting upright, gradually tilted until he collapsed on the sofa like Ge You.

Maori Kogoro was flipping through the documents brought by Sawakuri Isao one by one, frowning, "But from the information you provided, it is obvious that the scene is a completely secret room, and the person who confirmed this happens to be you, the first person to discover it, so why do you think this is a murder case?"

"Because I heard it! When I found my sister lying next to the bathtub, I was about to take out my phone to call an ambulance, but at that moment I heard a slight popping sound. When I ran out to see, I found some tiny glass fragments on the balcony. I broke the door from the balcony to save my sister, but if you break it from the outside, the glass fragments will only fall inside the house, how could they fall on the balcony? The murderer must have been hiding somewhere in the house at the time, and when I went into the bathroom to see my sister, he took the opportunity to walk out through the glass I broke. These fragments must have been stuck to her feet!"

"And here, look!" Sawakuri Isao took out one of the photos and placed it in front of Maori Kogoro. "This is the photo I took at the time. You can clearly see a bloody handprint on the mat at the bathroom door. This must be what my sister grabbed when she was struggling to run out after the murderer cut her wrist. Otherwise, why would there be bloodstains here!"

Maori Kogoro actually had no clue at all. He frowned and flipped the photos of the scene in his hand back and forth, trying to find some clues in the photos, but to no avail. He scratched his head and said, "Even if your sister didn't commit suicide, how can you be sure that the murderer is these three people?"

"Because at that time, only these three people entered and exited my sister's room! They all said they were looking for my sister's autograph, so I specially asked them to bring the book with them this time." At this point, Ze Lixun turned around suddenly, pointing the gun in his hand at the three people behind him, his eyes full of murderous light, "Did you bring it?"

The three men trembled when the gun was pointed at them, and they quickly took out the books from their bags.

Even Vodka was frightened by his suddenly raised voice. He sat up straight from his slumped body on the sofa, and was poked back by Chu Ming's elbow.
