Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

The banquet began soon.

Yuya and his friends naturally sat at a table, savoring the exquisite dishes with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Mao Lilan patted her stomach and breathed a sigh of relief: "This is so delicious!"

The delicious food quietly dispelled the shadows in Sera Masumi's heart. She smiled and said, "Yes, it's time for dessert, right?"

Suzuki Sonoko had a vague guess: "It should be the birthday cake I mentioned earlier, right?"

It seems to have been made by the pastry chef named Chu Gen Ji Nan.

Yuya propped up his chin and speculated, "Do you think it will be like the giant cake with dozens of layers in the movie?"

Suzuki Sonoko's mouth twitched slightly. "I don't think so. That kind of cake is very expensive and very troublesome to make. Besides," she looked up at the ceiling of the cafe, "there's no room for such a tall cake here."

Yuya was a little surprised: "You know a lot, Sonoko?"

Suzuki Sonoko snorted complacently, lowered her chin, and said, "That's right, don't you see who I am?"

Everyone chuckled softly.

They all knew that Suzuki Sonoko was not showing off her family background, but simply proving that she really understood this kind of cake.

At this moment, the lights in the store suddenly went out and the surroundings suddenly became dark.

A bright light appeared, and Hsune Tsuneo walked in slowly, pushing a food cart with a huge square cream cake on it.

Someone started to hum the tune first, and everyone followed suit:

"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to Rimi and Yumi~Happy birthday to you~"

As the singing lingered, the cake was slowly pushed in front of the Guan Ze sisters.

The candlelight flickered, and the two sisters looked at each other, the same joy reflected in each other's eyes, and they smiled at each other.

After the song, they both stood up and blew out the candles together.

Everyone applauded and congratulated them.

Guan Ze Limei suddenly noticed that Huaqi Junrui's glasses were glowing, and she exclaimed, "Why are your glasses glowing?"

He raised his eyebrows at Sekisawa Rimi and said proudly, "How about it, isn't it cool?"

The room was dim and she couldn't see his face at all. She only saw a pair of glowing glasses swaying gently in the air.

"How funny!" Sekizawa Rimi laughed out loud.

Chu Gen Ji Nan started cutting and distributing the cake.

A man who looked like an emcee stood in the center, with a projector on the table beside him. He held the microphone and said, "Dear guests, while we are dividing the cake, let's enjoy the images collected by the sisters Satomi and Yumi."

pat!

The huge screen lit up instantly, and old childhood photos appeared one after another.

Because it was a birthday party for the two of them together, the photos displayed were naturally clips of the two of them together.

From the time Youmei was still in swaddling clothes to the time she took her first steps, every scene was presented.

The sisters, who have now grown into beauties, were naturally very cute when they were young.

People always have great love for cute human cubs, and everyone watches with gusto.

Chu Gen Ji Nan brought the cut cakes to the guests.

Zhishan Ren's phone vibrated. He said "excuse me" out of habit, stood up and walked to the side to answer the phone.

Rimi Sekizawa took the cake and tasted it, but accidentally dropped the strawberry on the table. She quickly picked up the strawberry and put it in her mouth.

Seeing this scene, Guan Zeyoumei frowned and said: "Sister, what are you doing! It all fell on the table."

Sekisawa Rimi swallowed the strawberry and said with a smile: "Three-second rule~"

Yumi Guanze naturally also knows what the three-second rule is. Food can still be eaten if it falls on the ground or on the table within three seconds. The reason is that bacteria will not occupy food within 3 seconds.

She shook her head helplessly and could only keep smiling.

Suddenly, Huaqi Junrui next to him covered his throat and screamed, then fell to the ground with a thud.

At the same time, the projector suddenly lost power and the entire cafe was plunged into darkness.

Yuya's heart tightened: "Did someone just fall down screaming?"

Conan said in a deep voice: "From the sound of it, it seems to be that hairdresser?"

Yuya:... Well, something really happened, but it has nothing to do with him. It wasn't his curse. If you want to blame someone, blame Conan's death physique.

Just when everyone was getting nervous, there was a sound of glass breaking suddenly, and the unknown situation made the crowd start to panic.

A waiter shouted, "No, sorry, a bottle of red wine was broken. Please don't come near here!"

Although the waiter shouted at them not to come near, the store was dark and no one knew where the wine had broken, so no one moved for a while.

"Turn on the lights!" someone shouted.

Yuya followed his memory, reached out and held Miyano Shiho's hand in the darkness, and whispered, "Don't be afraid."

Miyano Shiho's voice was very calm: "I'm not afraid." Is she treating me like a child?

Conan looked around, but the store was dark and he could not see anything. Suddenly, he noticed a light on the ground. He turned around and saw that it was a pair of glowing eyes.

So, the person who fell was indeed Citi Junrui?

The light flickered, and Conan immediately realized that there was someone next to Huaci Junrui's head, but he didn't know what that person was doing.

At this moment, a strong light pierced the darkness, and everyone instinctively closed their eyes.

But when they opened their eyes again, they suddenly heard Kazawa Rimi's terrified scream.

The person who just fell down was Huaqi Junrui, but at this moment his eyes were closed, his hands were twisted and placed in front of his chest, motionless.

On his forehead, two Chinese characters were written crookedly in black marker:

Curse!

···

After receiving the alarm, Inspector Megure quickly rushed to the scene with his subordinates.

He looked around the birthday party venue, feeling helpless: What's wrong with people these days? Can a birthday party lead to a murder?

But when he glanced at Yuya, Conan and Sera Masumi, he suddenly realized - these three people are more weird than each other, so it is not surprising that the case happened with them.

Despite all the complaints, Inspector Megure remained calm as he directed the personnel to protect, investigate and inquire about the scene, and they soon understood what had happened.

The victim, Huati Junrui, died on the spot after eating a cake laced with cyanate poison while a photo was being played on a projector.

After he fell down, the projector suddenly lost power. Someone used the luminous glasses he was wearing to confirm the position of his head, and then wrote the words "Heavenly Punishment" on his forehead in the dark.

The handwriting is crooked, probably because the person who wrote it used a different hand.

It seems that the person who wrote this is the murderer who poisoned Huaqi Junrui.

And judging from the content of the words, this person has considerable resentment towards Citi Junrui.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have written the words "Heaven's Punishment".
