Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1169: About the Chestnut

Ooka Hongye couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?"

Before Hattori Heiji could answer, Toyama Kazuha's roar came from the phone: "Heiji, what's going on? I think I heard Hongye's voice?!"

Ooka Hongye smirked, snatched Hattori Heiji's phone, and said into the receiver, "Xiaoye, how are you doing recently?"

"Red..." It was indeed red leaves. Yuanshan Heye was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Didn't that idiot Heiji say he had a cold? Why was he with Momiji? Did she go to Heiji's house to take care of someone?

No, that's not right. She just saw Heiji on the news and he wasn't home.

Are these two people dating?!

Ooka Momiji heard that Hattori Heiji was pretending to be sick, but she didn't hear that Toyama Kazuha had already discovered that Hattori Heiji had run away, so she deliberately said, "Leave Heiji to my care, and you can just study hard in school without worry."

"How could I possibly give it to you! Idiot!" Toyama Kazuha instinctively retorted loudly, but Ooka Momiji hung up the phone after saying that.

She stared at the beeping phone in a daze.

The students nearby were startled by Yuanshan Heye's sudden shouting. One of the girls asked timidly, "Well, if you don't leave it to us, Heye, are you planning to clean up by yourself?"

Yuanshan and Ye were stunned and quickly explained: "I am not, I didn't..."

She was already irritated by Ooka Momiji, and if she had to take care of the classroom cleaning by herself again, she would probably treat it as if she were dead.

Hattori Heiji was speechless by Ooka Momiji's words, but he didn't take it too seriously. Anyway, with Toyama Kazuha's personality, as long as he explained everything clearly later, he would be forgiven soon.

On the side, Mouri Ran and Miyano Shiho were whispering, discussing how Ooka Momiji seemed to have not given up on Hattori Heiji yet.

Suzuki Sonoko joined in with curiosity, and soon a gossipy expression appeared on her face.

After the on-site inspection was completed, Isamu Hayabusa's body was also taken away.

Another person was killed, and Ayanokouji knew he couldn't continue to live so leisurely.

He looked at the remaining three people and said in a deep voice, "Next, let's sit down and have a good chat. What is the relationship between Chu Li, who came up with this code, and you?"

Everyone returned to the room they had originally booked.

After some explanation, Chu Li's identity became clear.

He is a classmate of the same university as Keiko Kurachi and the other four, and they are all members of the Tokusatsu Film Research Club.

Izuri himself is a fine arts major, responsible for the design of monsters and costumes, and also participates in the manga research club;

Keiko Arachi and Hayamori Ii were also majoring in drama performance, so they were naturally responsible for the performance;

Ma Shanfeng is a film major and is responsible for filming the movie;

Agata Riki is a music major who is responsible for composing film music and occasionally helps Izuku with some comic production when Izuku is too busy.

The previously murdered screenwriter Ximu was a literature major and was responsible for writing the script.

"So, about that," Yuya asked, pulling up the details page for the graduation project "Red Shura Tengu." "This movie is said to be adapted from your graduation project. May I ask why Ikuri's name isn't listed in the credits?"

These five people plus Chu Li are obviously a group that often works together. It is very unnatural that Chu Li's name is the only one missing from the list.

Upon hearing this question, the three of them changed their expressions at the same time and fell silent for a while.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but ask: "Why are you all silent?"

Agada sighed and said slowly, "Actually, at that time, Ximu had no inspiration for the script of his graduation project. Later, he saw a manga by Dekuri..."

Arachi Keiko said with a look of sadness and nostalgia: "That is a very good fantasy work."

Yuya understood something: "Is it this red Shura Tengu?"

Ma Shanfengren nodded. "That's right, but Chuli said that this comic is the work he plans to publish after becoming a professional manga artist, so we can't use it."

Agata Riki: "But we thought that after seeing the final result, Ikuri would definitely accept it, and as long as Ikuri's name is added to the list, it can also be his graduation project, but..."

The idea was good, but the results were very different.

According to them, Izuri flew into a rage after seeing the finished film, saying it was not his work at all and strictly forbade them to add his name to it.

Anzhi Keiko lowered her head. "Later, this work was widely praised. Besides him, we also became famous in our respective fields..."

Hattori Heiji taunted, "He must hate you guys, right?"

His future work was used without his permission, and he angrily refused to add his name to it. However, other people also became famous because of this work. Anyone would feel resentful.

"But," Ma Shanfengren quickly explained, "when we announced we were going to remake the film, Izuri suddenly called me."

"He said he had given up his dream of becoming a cartoonist and was now working for a design company. He also said he'd like to add his name to the list if possible."

Yuya asked, "But, I don't seem to see Izuri's name on the list."

Agata Riki said grimly, "We originally wanted to add it, but something went wrong... At the premiere, Ikuri didn't see his name on the list, and he committed suicide out of disappointment."

Ma Shanfengren: "Originally, we were planning to cancel the film's screening after this incident, but we really can't explain this to the sponsors..."

Youye pondered. He originally thought that Ikari would be the murderer, but he didn't expect that Ikari had committed suicide long ago. Things were indeed not that simple.

From this point of view, the murderer was most likely seeking revenge for Chu Li, otherwise there would be no need to leave a secret code with the Chu Li mark at the crime scene.

They have already deciphered the content of the code, but they still have no clue about the bloody well and bloody footprints in Nishiki's room, and the Tengu head that appeared in Agata's room.

Thinking of this, Yuya winked at Ayanokouji.

The latter understood, and the two left the room together.

Shinichi Kudo looked back, thought about it and decided to call his mother who was far away abroad to ask her about Keiko Kurachi.

In the room, Sera Masumi supported her chin and looked at Hattori Heiji with interest.

"Your name is Hattori, right?"

Hattori Heiji felt a little alert: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Sera Masumi asked curiously, "You and Kudo seem to have a good relationship. How did you meet?"

Hattori Heiji thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide about this matter, so he briefly recounted the first time they solved a case at the diplomat's house.

"Oh," Sera Masumi raised an eyebrow. "You mean, Kudo suddenly appeared, but knew everything about the case very clearly? And then, when the case was almost over, he suddenly left?"

Hattori Heiji nodded hesitantly: "Yes, it seems that Kudo has a good relationship with Conan. That little brat told him." Is there anything wrong with what he said?

"Is that so?" Sera Masumi smiled meaningfully.
