Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Conan followed Kawasaki Yosuke and found that he knew the way well and didn't look around at all, leading Conan directly to the restroom.

After using the restroom, Kawasaki Yosuke took off his gloves and washed his hands. Conan couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, are you very familiar with this church? You knew where the restroom was right away."

“Hmm? Oh,” Kawasaki Yosuke casually wiped his hands and replied while putting on gloves, “It’s not just me, it’s everyone else too. We used to play here a lot when we were kids.”

"In this church?" Conan asked curiously.

Yosuke Kawasaki nodded: "That's right, there's a square of moderate size near this church."

At that moment, Yosuke Kawasaki received a message on his phone.

Upon opening it, he found a note from Kohei Wada, saying that he had found a strange note and that he should bring Conan over immediately.

The two arrived at the chapel and learned that Yuya and Amuro Tooru had discovered the note and the code.

Yuya pointed to the signature on the note and said, "This place has the name Yasuo Hihara written on it."

Gu Puyu frowned: "It feels a little scary."

The others also looked rather grim—how could a dead person leave a note?

It must have been left behind by the mastermind. It's rather eerie to be secretly watched by someone with such unclear motives, especially in this abandoned church.

Fujita Yorito forced a smile and said, "Could it be a game? The person who called us here probably wants us to attend Ari's farewell ceremony, so they're using this method to involve us?"

Everyone was silent.

Yu narrowed her eyes; this was indeed a possibility.

But don't forget, the purpose of these four people is to find out the truth about Yasuyoshi Nihara's suicide. According to the usual pattern in the world of Detective Conan, there is a high probability that one of these five people is related to his suicide.

It might not be suicide, but murder, and the killer might be among them.

However, they had nothing else to do but wait, so they might as well follow the instructions on the note to find the eulogy and investigate the church while they were at it.

Yuya looked at everyone and said, "So, how should we decide who goes which place?"

Amuro Tooru took out the playing cards he had used on the way: "How about we use these? The person who draws the highest number gets to choose where to go first. If the numbers are the same, we'll decide in the order of hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs?"

"can."

“Wait a minute,” Nishino Sumiya suddenly interrupted, pointing to the playing cards, “the top card has suspicious marks. You didn’t mark it so you’d know what you drew, did you?”

Amuro Tooru was taken aback: "No..." It was just a lottery, he didn't have any particular purpose, was it necessary to do something so complicated?

However, Nishino Sumi didn't believe it either, since the mastermind's identity hadn't been confirmed yet, so he felt everyone was a suspect.

Wada Kohei advised, "It doesn't matter, it's just a game anyway."

Nishino Sumire still stubbornly objected: "Even when playing games, you can't just do whatever you want, right? Cheating is absolutely not allowed."

It's clear that he's a meticulous person.

Gu Puyu suggested, "Then how about we decide by drawing the ghost's foot?"

"Draw the Ghost's Foot" is a decision-making mini-game, often used in scenarios involving drawing lots or assigning combinations.

This time it was Kawasaki Yosuke's turn to object, because the draw for the "ghost leg" was done by drawing lines, and the number of lines drawn could also be used to cheat.

Fujita Yorito then suggested playing rock-paper-scissors.

Unexpectedly, Gu Puyu Hui suddenly laughed. She felt that the current scene was very similar to when they used to play games and choose a team leader. At that time, everyone was also arguing about the method of drawing lots.

The group exchanged glances, but Yu noticed that their expressions were somewhat subtle, not like they were reminiscing about a pleasant past.

Nishino Sumi also spoke up: "In that case, how about we decide using the old method? Kawasaki, did you bring a tissue box?"

Yosuke Kawasaki quickly took a cardboard box out of his bag: "Yes, I just finished using one box."

Yu also glanced sideways. How severe was this person's germaphobia? He used up an entire box of tissues? And judging from how bulging his bag was, there was another box inside?

Conan asked curiously, "The old method? What method is that?"

Gu Puyu Hui smiled and said, "You'll know when you see it."

Yuya and the others watched her actions with curiosity.

Gu Puyu Hui first took out a piece of white paper from her bag, folded it, and then unfolded it again, dividing the paper into nine equal parts. Then, she used Kawasaki Yosuke's cardboard box to press down the white paper and tore it into nine small pieces of the same size, and finally handed it to Nishino Sumiya.

Nishino Sumire also gave everyone a tissue box, asked them to write their names on it, and then put it in the box. He, the former captain, then drew the results for everyone one by one.

Isn't this just a lottery? It's almost identical to Amuro Tooru's method.

However, since the papers with names written on them were made on the spot, there was no opportunity to cheat.

Yuya and the others didn't care and didn't object.

Everyone wrote their names down and then put them into the box.

Nishino Sumire also started drawing lots, following the order of the slips of paper from top to bottom and from left to right. She drew one slip for each room, and whoever's name was written on it would go to that room.

The results of the draw came out quickly.

In order of room number, they are—

Toilet, Kohei Wada; Kitchen, Kanenori Wakita; Warehouse, Toru Amuro;

The reception room is by Sumiya Nishino; the bathhouse is by Yuya; the study is by Gu Puyu Hui.

The priest's room, Yosuke Kawasaki; the nun's room, Yorito Fujita; the chapel, Conan.

After confirming once again that everyone knew which room they had gone to, they prepared to set off to find the eulogy.

Before leaving, Amuro Tooru reminded everyone, "Please be careful during the process, because we still don't know what the mastermind's purpose is in leading us here."

Nishino Sumi laughed nonchalantly, "You don't mean to say that person deliberately set up a trap to avenge A-Zheng who committed suicide here, do you?"

Fujita Yorito also said, "If that's the case, the first person they'll target should be Ari's wife..."

He was interrupted halfway through his sentence by Kawasaki Yosuke, who reminded Fujita Yorito not to tell outsiders about these things.

Yuya narrowed his eyes slightly—as expected, there was some hidden story behind Yasuo Nihara's suicide.

Moreover, speaking of wives, among the nine people present, Gu Puyu Hui was the only woman, so she...

No, if she really was Yasuo Nichihara's wife, she shouldn't be unaware of her husband's suicide, so it must be someone else.

Fujita Yorito's words should be interpreted as follows: if the murderer wants revenge, his first target would be the victim's wife, so they should be safe.

Unless... that wife has already been murdered.

Yuya's gaze was deep—if a revenge killing plot really occurs this time, then at least two people will die, right?

Otherwise, how could a situation arise where you have to choose one of three options?

I just wonder who those two people are?

Why did the mastermind hire detectives, and why did he specifically request that four people come together?

Also, what kind of captain is the captain that Nishino Sumiya is talking about?
