Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

"No! I don't know him! But he's quite skilled, and we sensed each other. It's a rare encounter, so we made an appointment to practice some moves with each other.

As for how he knew we were from Tokyo, that is unknown. I can ask him next time I meet him and discuss things with him.

Hey! He just said he wanted to practice with me, but he didn't leave any contact information. I'll give him my phone number later, and I'm sure he'll contact me.

Fujiwara Hiroshi said, and then he remembered that he forgot to leave his contact information. How could he make an appointment without the contact information? This must be something he needs to pay attention to later.

"Good skills?" Xiaolan thought about this sentence over and over again. She always felt that she had seen Kyogoku Makoto somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a moment. Instead, Sonoko on the side spoke softly.

"Of course we've seen him! He's the owner of the hotel we're staying at! I heard he came back to help out during the summer vacation."

As Sonoko spoke, she arched her eyebrows and looked at Kyogoku Makoto who was moving beer boxes over there.

"How do you know something like this?" Now it was Xiaolan's turn to be curious why Sonoko knew so much about Kyogoku Makoto's situation.

"He kept staring at us at the door yesterday, so I asked the people in the hotel." Sonoko answered directly because Kyogoku Makoto's behavior yesterday caught her attention.

"He is the owner of a hotel. Why would he come to this store to help?" Xiaolan continued to ask in confusion.

"I think this place must have the same owner as the tile-roofed hotel we stayed in!" Sonoko continued to analyze and answer Xiaolan's question.

"So you're staying at the Wawu Hotel?" Dokie Masahiko saw how the topic had been diverted to the waiter with a bad attitude, and quickly brought the subject back.

So, while Yuanzi mentioned the Wawu Hotel, he quickly took over the topic and focused their attention on himself again.

"Yes! That's right!" Xiaolan replied.

"Is that so? Then I'm near the hotel where I'm staying! How about this, let's go to that nice restaurant by the sea tonight for dinner! I'll drive over to pick you up then!"

Daoxie Zhengyan took the opportunity to invite them to dinner, and also emphasized that he would drive over. In his opinion, people who stayed in such a shabby hotel probably didn't have much money.

Who among the rich would stay in such a shabby hotel? So he seemed particularly confident when he mentioned that he had a car and could drive over to pick people up.

"Is it true?" Sonoko looked eager to try, and everything fell into Daoxie Masahiko's eyes.

What Sonoko meant and how excited she was was because a handsome guy was willing to pick her up to have dinner together, so she was moved by herself and was already dreaming of a date.

Michikyo Masahiko was also very satisfied with Sonoko's performance. He thought to himself: They are really a bunch of poor people. When they heard that they were coming to pick them up, their eyes lit up.

It is indeed hard to imagine that there would be a day when Suzuki Sonoko and Fujiwara Hiroshi would be regarded as paupers by others.

I even thought that Sonoko would be so excited just to go for a car ride on a date! It really proves the old saying: Ignorance is bliss!

Dokyo Masahiko saw that he had almost laid the groundwork and knew it was time to insert his key points, so he immediately spoke to Sonoko.

"But remember! Don't forget to bring your camera!"

This turn of events was so abrupt and inexplicable that not only Fujiwara Hiroshi and Conan, but even Sonoko was baffled! She asked directly.

"why?"

"I just asked the locals here, and they said something happened on the beach near that seafood restaurant."

Mikkyo Masahiko himself was of course laying the groundwork for this, so it was natural for him to bring up this topic for discussion.

"Has there been an accident?" Yuanzi asked again. Now she was even more confused. Why would they go to a nearby restaurant where an accident had happened to eat?

"Yes! Exactly one year ago, a woman with long brown hair was stabbed in the abdomen and murdered there."

Daoxie Zhengyan deliberately brought this matter up to pave the way for his next plan.

"A murder case?" Sonoko and Xiaolan exclaimed almost at the same time.

"Yes, that lady, I heard that she had an accident on the way to the restaurant. Due to the lack of witnesses, the case is still under investigation.

A year had passed since the incident, and tourists had almost forgotten about it, and the restaurant business was booming again.

What’s troubling is that the lady seemed to like that restaurant very much. I heard she still goes there often.”

Daoxie Zhengyan began to make up nonsense, first using a ghost story, which could both scare the two timid girls and set some foreshadowing for his subsequent actions.

"Brother Fujiwara, I'm increasingly starting to feel like there's something wrong with this guy. He was so abrupt in changing the subject just now, forcing the conversation back to this ghost story.

Moreover, he knew that the other party was two girls. Generally, female high school students are timid. What was his purpose in deliberately mentioning this story that would scare them?

In addition, his impure motives were undoubtedly exposed. Just think about it, knowing that this seafood restaurant had so many problems, why did he try to lead us there?

From the above aspects, any single situation would be questionable. With so many options intertwined, I refuse to believe there is any ulterior motive! "

Conan whispered his analysis to Fujiwara Hiroshi.

Fujiwara Hiroshi was speechless after listening to Conan. "Conan, you are so proud of yourself! You are not hiding anything now and are analyzing everything in front of Fujiwara Hiroshi."

You really don't treat Fujiwara Hiroshi as an outsider! You are too lazy to even try to hide the little bit of it now. As for these long speeches above, do you think a child like you can analyze them?

"Conan, is your analysis comprehensive? But I still say, don't panic at all. No matter what evil intentions this guy has, he can't make any waves under my nose!

But what surprised me even more was you, Conan. You, a kid, could analyze and deduce something like this. It really impressed me. It seems that Brother Maori has taught you a lot. You've learned very well!

Fujiwara Hiroshi is actually giving Conan a series of warnings, meaning that he is telling you directly, Conan, that you are being too arrogant now, and if you don't be careful, your identity will be easily exposed when you face Xiaolan later.

"Haha...haha...it's all thanks to Uncle Maori's teaching. I usually follow Uncle Maori and learn a lot, so I can see the essence of things through superficial behaviors!"

When Conan heard that he was getting too proud of himself, Fujiwara Hiroshi started to suspect him, so he quickly tried to fool him by laughing it off.

Fujiwara Hiroshi also stopped at the point and did not dwell on it too much. It was enough to just give a reminder. He was too lazy to point out Conan's identity.

There is no benefit for him in asking Conan to reveal his identity as Kudo Shinichi, and Fujiwara Hiroshi is unwilling to do such a thankless task.

Let Conan and Xiaolan deal with their own affairs. In fact, Conan didn't know that the Black Organization had been severely damaged by Fujiwara Hiroshi's Dragon Group during this period.

Conan's story has come to an end. As long as Fujiwara Hiroshi can be sure to protect Sonoko, that's enough. If he likes to make trouble, let him do it!

However, only Sonoko and Xiaolan were listening attentively, and were completely drawn into the atmosphere of the ghost story by Daoxie Masahiko.

"You still go there often? But didn't you just say that the long-haired girl was stabbed in the abdomen and killed? How can she still go to the restaurant then?"

When Sonoko heard this, she started to feel unwell. Obviously, after listening to Dokyo Masahiko's description, she felt that the story was going in a bad direction.

"It's said that in the photos taken in that restaurant, the murdered girl once appeared as a strange ghost in the photos taken in that restaurant."

When Daoxie Masahiko described this, he deliberately switched to a gloomy and terrifying voice to describe this matter.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Sonoko and Xiaolan both widened their eyes with expressions of horror, and their bodies leaned back obviously, showing a state of rejection.

"So, I wanted to try and see if I could really take a photo like this?"

Seeing that the story was almost over, Daoxie Masahiko pretended to be humorous and said that he wanted to explore whether it was possible to take such a photo.

Of course, these stories, including the creation of atmosphere, are ultimately foreshadowing for the photos in the camera. Obtaining the negatives of the photos taken by Sonoko is Michikyo Masahiko's real purpose.

"Xiaolan, what do you think? We seem to have about ten films left." Sonoko was a little afraid of such places and deliberately asked Xiaolan for her opinion. This is actually a kind of attitude.

Because Sonoko firmly believed that Xiaolan was too timid to go, asking her for the answer to such a question was hoping that Xiaolan would answer that she couldn't go out.

"No, absolutely can't take it!"

Ran was still terrified, but when she heard Sonoko mention that she wanted to bring the camera with the film still on it, she immediately came to her senses. She crossed her arms over her chest and refused directly.

"But if Shinichi takes a look, maybe he'll figure it out. Then I can develop the photo in this camera and show it to him."

Sonoko raised the camera in her hand and said.

"Please! Stop it! You can't tell who is in the photo? Why show it to him?" Xiaolan said loudly to Yuanzi with a blushing face.

Conan was also speechless for a while. Okay, I was there, I definitely know who it was, I've seen it all.

"I think with his reasoning ability, he should be able to tell who it belongs to at a glance!" Sonoko continued to say to Xiaolan playfully.

"Sonoko!!" Xiaolan was on the verge of exploding again, but this time Daoxie Masahiko started to interrupt again.

"Reasoning ability?" Daoxie Zhengyan suddenly became a little nervous. As the saying goes, a guilty conscience always makes the thief feel guilty. He was particularly sensitive to this term.

"It's her boyfriend, a detective!" Sonoko pointed at Xiaolan and answered Michikyo Masahiko.

"Oh, is that so!" Daoxie Zhengyan pretended to be calm, but in fact, when he heard that it was a detective, he was panicked!

Because Dokyo Masahiko had already started to imagine, he thought that the person in the photo that Sonoko and Xiaolan were discussing was him.

Michikyo Masahiko's heart sank again. The result he least wanted to see happened. When he committed the crime last night, Sonoko still took a photo of him.

And, from what Sonoko said, although the two of them couldn't tell who it was, Xiaolan had a very good detective boyfriend who could deduce and identify it.

By then... by then, he would be finished. The moment of the murder would be captured on camera, and he would not even have any excuses.

No! They had to get the camera film before they came into contact with the detective. Fortunately, they didn't capture his face, otherwise he would have run away long ago.

"What photo are you talking about?" Daoxie Masahiko deliberately leaned his head very close to Sonoko's head and asked.

Daoxie Zhengyan had no choice but to use his beauty trick. This distance had already broken the normal safe distance between people. It was equivalent to actively exploring the other person's safe distance and making a tentative response.

As long as Sonoko doesn't object, then Dokyo Masahiko will have a better chance of success. He can take the opportunity to get the film back when Sonoko is completely fascinated by him.

"Sonoko!" Seeing that Sonoko was about to betray her friend, Xiaolan could no longer sit still. She roared and screamed loudly.

And Sonoko also did not disappoint Dokyo Masahiko. She was ready to answer whatever he asked. Sonoko was not averse to this reaction that broke the safe distance.

Michikyo Masahiko immediately felt relieved. That was great. As long as there was no objection, then everything would be fine. Moreover, Sonoko took the initiative to move close to his ear and prepared to tell him about the photo.

When Daoxie Zhengyan saw this situation, he couldn't contain his inner joy, and felt that the password of the photo was about to be within his reach.

However, Michikyo Masahiko's dream was shattered in an instant, because Kyogoku Makoto appeared again, holding the plate and placing it directly between Sonoko and Michikyo Masahiko.

In just a moment, the two people who were originally very close to each other were separated.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. The fried noodles are ready! There are still customers waiting to eat. Please finish your food as soon as possible, okay?" Kyogoku Makoto said this and left without looking back.

Everyone stared at Kyogoku Makoto's receding back, feeling extremely surprised by his behavior of driving people away!

Only Fujiwara Hiroshi understood at this time that Kyogoku Makoto was jealous, and this was his outward manifestation of jealousy. Now was not the late Kyogoku Makoto.

The current Kyogoku Makoto still has that unapproachable and cool image, which is in stark contrast to the sometimes funny image of Kyogoku Makoto in his later years.

However, it was Kyogoku Makoto's interference that directly interrupted and blocked the secret of the photo that Michikyo Masahiko was about to obtain, leaving Michikyo Masahiko feeling resentful.
