Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

At night, when he came to the dinner table and saw Hu Ju, Conan remembered something:

"No, I'm quite clear about the murderer's methods and motives, but the question is, what's the evidence? I can't just say, as in the original novel, that he didn't answer the questions or read the test, so he killed someone!"

Speaking of which, this evidence in the original book is very funny. There are many reasons for not answering the questions, such as not wanting to answer, or something else. But this Hu Shi just pleaded guilty because he didn't answer the questions?

No, buddy, you're someone who can kill people with your own hands, forge your own alibi, and even kill your own girlfriend without batting an eyelid. Why are you so fragile?

Looking at Tojuken who was eating nearby, Conan rolled his eyes in his heart.

A murderer who killed two people without batting an eyelid and even wanted to kill a third person, actually chose to confess just because he didn't answer the question, for such a simple reason?

"It's the world of science, after all! There's no logic involved in reasoning. As long as there's even a possible piece of evidence, the murderer will definitely kneel down and confess, right?"

Thinking of this, Conan sighed helplessly.

"By the way, where's the shop owner? Isn't he supposed to be grading our exams? Why haven't we seen him in such a long time?"

After eating and drinking, Fujisawa spoke with a puzzled look on his face.

According to that guy, he would grade their exams tonight, and then invite those who passed the test, as well as the three detectives, to participate in the evening reasoning meeting, right?

But why, until now, he hasn't shown up?

"Well, I don't know. I just know that the boss wants me to entertain you all, and he won't come over until after dinner."

Ms. Iwai also spoke with some doubt.

Although she knew that the boss had always used the first edition of the book as a gimmick to invite other Holmes fans to show off the book, he had never been as late as he was now?

"Perhaps something happened while the boss was preparing the puzzle, causing a delay. Please be patient, I'm sure the boss will be here soon."

Seeing the somewhat impatient expressions on everyone's faces, Iwai said apologetically.

"I see, maybe he's planning to show up suddenly and scare us~"

"Haha, maybe that's the case. Maybe the boss is planning to pretend to be dead so that we can solve the case."

"How is that possible! Didn't he say he had to grade the papers first?"

While everyone was chatting, Conan and Kudo were looking at the smiling Maria Toda, with a strange look on their faces.

Is he truly worthy of being called an astrologer? His predictions were so accurate! Indeed, the boss was indeed dead. His body was practically limp!

"That's fine. Since the boss has the leisure time, we'll just wait for him here. Ms. Iwai, could you please pour me another cup of coffee~"

"Ok!"

Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, Iwai smiled and nodded, then started making coffee for everyone.

......

As time passed, it quickly passed midnight. The smiles on the faces of everyone who had been sitting in the restaurant for over four hours completely disappeared, replaced by anger!

"Damn it! What the hell was that bastard thinking? I could accept his delay, but it's already been four hours! Could he still not be ready?!"

Ms. Iwai, didn’t your boss tell you anything? ! "

Looking at Fujisawa with a hint of anger in his eyes, Iwai swallowed nervously.

"I don't know either. I tried to contact the boss before, but I couldn't get through to him!"

"Contact the boss? How do you contact him?!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Shi, who had been as steady as an old dog, suddenly stood up. Didn't he destroy all the phones that had been collected? Could it be that this employee still had a way to contact the outside world?!

Thinking of this, the look in his eyes when he looked at Iwai became dangerous.

"?"

Noticing that something was wrong with Toju's expression, Hattori looked at him with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

Well, Conan doesn't need it because he knows about the spoilers, and Bayonetta doesn't need it either because Toshi has been marked as a dead man in her mind, and now she just wants to watch the clown show performed by this dead man.

As for Maori? Although he was also curious about Tojukento's behavior, he didn't pay attention to him after all.

After all, he didn't feel that this guy had any ill will towards him or Xiaolan.

However, Hu Ju, who was at the center of the storm, did not notice everyone's gaze. He stared at Iwai with a serious face and asked.

"Huh? Um, well, inside the hotel, I usually use the intercom to contact the boss. But today, for some reason, I can clearly connect to his intercom, but no one is talking."

"Is that so? That's good... No, I mean, this is really too regrettable!"

Upon hearing this, Tojuken first breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed Hattori and the looks of the others, and quickly changed his words.

Hattori, though he felt he was a bit strange, didn't say much. After all, in his eyes, nothing had happened yet. Therefore, he just paid a little more attention to Tojukento.

"Wait, since the boss has a walkie-talkie on him, why don't we just follow the sound of the walkie-talkie? Maybe we can find the boss's whereabouts!"

Suddenly, someone suggested that although they didn't know what the boss was up to, since he hadn't shown up in so long, they might as well take the initiative and go find him.

"Don't... I mean, let's not go. What if the boss is making arrangements? We'll just cause trouble for him if we go!"

Hu Shi hurriedly stopped him, but feeling the gazes on him, he just laughed it off and made up an excuse on the spot.

Hattori looked at his behavior and frowned slightly. This guy, why does it feel like he is hiding something?

However, he didn't know what happened and had no evidence, so it was difficult to trouble him. Moreover, this suggestion was impossible to implement:

"Unless the volume of an intercom is adjusted, it's not very loud. Even if we use the intercom on Ms. Iwai's body, we may not be able to find the boss's whereabouts. Therefore, this idea is not feasible."

"Damn it! Is that guy really just like the rumors say? The so-called gift of first edition books was fake, and his real purpose was just to show off?!"

Finally, the hot-tempered Fujisawa and his companions cursed a few times with unhappy faces and went back to their rooms to rest.
