"Speaking of which, Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi is really slow. What is he doing?"

Inside the restaurant, everyone was sitting at the table waiting, but it was clear that some people were getting impatient.

"what!!!"

Just as Nana was complaining, Mr. Peter Ford, who was sitting next to her, suddenly screamed and clutched his neck tightly with both hands.

"Hey hey hey!!! What...what are you doing! What's wrong with you?!"

As expected, everyone was startled by this sudden turn of events and turned their attention to him.

"Ah...hahaha! I was just kidding, hahaha, don't be so nervous."

Just as everyone was about to go up and check the situation, the man suddenly laughed again and raised his head to indicate that he was just joking.

【Don't scare me to death!】

[Fatty, you're in danger!]

[You're really asking for trouble, aren't you? You'll be the one who dies soon enough.]

"Really..." Conan muttered under his breath.

"This person is really wicked." Even Miyano Akemi, who rarely talks about others behind their backs, was startled by this wicked prank and couldn't help but say.

"Mr. Ford, please stop joking around at a time like this!" Officer Shiratori said sternly.

"Oh, by the way, everyone, what are your reasons for coming here today?" To avoid making the atmosphere too awkward, Inspector Megure began to change the subject.

"His secretary called me. He said that Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi admired my work and wanted to meet with me to have a good talk. I think maybe he wants me to promote this place," Mr. Yongming said while drinking.

"As for me, my secretary also received a phone call with a similar invitation to his," Mr. Ford explained.

“I’m different, though. I also received a gift, this bottle of nail polish. It’s from France, and it’s not cheap.” After saying that, Nana Koyama shook the bottle of nail polish in her hand, looking quite proud.

"Mr. Nishina, are you like this too?" Officer Shiratori asked Nishina, who was sitting alone to one side. It was clear that he was still angry about what had just happened.

"Yes, that's right." Although he was angry, he wasn't about to ignore the police.

“This is… Oh, Mr. Zeki, this is for you. It just fell on the ground.”

While everyone was still discussing among themselves, Ford looked down and saw a piece of paper lying on the ground. After reading what it said, Ford handed it to Sawaki Kohei.

"Well then, let me see... Mr. Sawaki Kohei, my letter may be late, but there is your favorite wine on shelf M18 in the wine cellar. Would you please go and get it to share with everyone? The key is on the counter. Thank you for your help. — Asahi Katsuyoshi"

After reading the contents of the paper, everyone understood that it was a letter left by Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi for Sawaki Kohei.

"Brother Asakawa, we didn't seem to see this piece of paper when we picked up the juice that fell on the ground, did we?"

Feeling a little strange, Conan asked Asakawa Yu.

"Maybe we just didn't notice."

Asakawa Yu brushed it off like that. Of course he knew there wasn't this piece of paper on the ground. It was obviously a play that Sawaki Kohei had directed and acted out, but he didn't want to make a move yet.

For some reason, no matter how hard Asakawa Yu tried, he couldn't arrest the culprit until the case was nearing its end.

Now he understands that the best time to make a move is when Conan's case is almost solved, otherwise who knows what other unexpected trouble might arise.

"Is that really the case?" Hearing Asakawa Yu's answer, Conan began to doubt whether he had just missed something, since he didn't believe that Asakawa Yu would lie to him about something like this.

"Hey! I want to check out the liquor shelves too!" Upon hearing that she could see the liquor shelves, Nana Koyama became excited instantly.

"I want to see it too!"

"I want to go too, to see what good wines they have here."

Everyone seemed even more enthusiastic than expected. "Okay, let's go together then."

In the end, everyone decided to go together.

After opening the door and groping around in the dark for a while, I finally found the light switch.

Once opened, the surroundings instantly became bright and clear.

What comes into view is a large area of ​​neatly arranged wine bottles, each one looking so valuable.

"Wow! That's incredible!" Inspector Megure exclaimed.

"But it's so cold here." After a while, Xiaolan suddenly hugged her arms and said.

“Yes, I think so too.” Akemi Miyano agreed.

"You're wrong, it's too hot here. The ideal temperature for storing wine is between 10 and 14 degrees Celsius. It's best to stay within that range, but it's 17 degrees Celsius here, which is a little too high," Sawaki Kohei explained responsibly.

[Are they planning to wipe them all out at once?]

This is just the right size to store a corpse!

[High-energy warning ahead]

"How are you feeling? Why don't we go outside and wait?" Seeing Miyano Akemi and the others rubbing their arms to warm them up, Asakawa Yu couldn't help but go over and ask, since, to be honest, he wasn't really interested in alcohol.

"It's okay, boss, I'm fine, it's just Ai..."

"I'm fine, this temperature is nothing to me."

Before Miyano Akemi could finish speaking, Haibara Ai interrupted her, arrogantly declaring that she had no problem.

"Hehe, is that so? Okay then, but if you guys can't stand it later, you can leave first, is that alright?"

"Yeah, no problem."

To be honest, Asakawa Yu had considered things before letting them act on their own. After all, Miyano Akemi was a former member of the Black Organization. Although she didn't have a code name, the fact that she could join the Black Organization and work for them proved that she had some ability and was more than capable of protecting herself and her sister.

If Sawaki Kohei were to target them, it's uncertain who would end up in trouble.

After explaining the situation, Asakawa Yu walked towards Inspector Megure and the others...
