Conan: No, why aren't you following the script?

It was like a whisper from the devil.

Hearing Kitagawa Isao's magnetic voice and his burning gaze through his sunglasses, Furuhashi Nian didn't know what was wrong with her, but she inexplicably agreed.

By the time he realized what was happening, he was already sitting down in the coffee shop next door, with a steaming cup of coffee in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Furuhashi Nian immediately frowned and looked up at Kitagawa Isao:

"This... Detective Kurosawa, please get to the point. What brings you here? Today is the last day before the movie theater closes, and it's almost time for our last film to be shown. I know you might not understand, but both this movie theater and my current job have been very kind to me..."

"I know,"

Before Furuhashi could finish speaking, Kitagawa Isao chuckled and said, "Of course I know how much affection Mr. Furuhashi has for this movie theater, which is why I came to you. After all... if nothing unexpected happens, you'll be having pork cutlet rice at the Metropolitan Police Department tonight."

"You, what do you mean?"

Furuhashi was shocked to hear this, but Kitagawa Isao acted as if he hadn't seen anything and continued talking to himself:

"It's just the literal meaning. Mr. Furuhashi is dissatisfied with Mr. Zhang Tian, ​​isn't he? If you kill someone in the movie theater according to your plan, the police will probably be able to track you down as the suspect in just a few hours."

"No, I didn't... You bastard, when did I ever say I was going to kill someone, especially not that rotten bug Zhang Tian? How could I... Someone like me would never..."

Gu Qiao Nian gradually became somewhat incoherent, which is not hard to understand.

After all, if anyone is found to have a murder plan they've never told anyone, and they just panic, it's a testament to their exceptional mental fortitude.

Seeing Gu Qiao Nian at a loss, his whole face was covered in cold sweat.

Kitagawa Isao smiled faintly and pushed the coffee towards him.

"Mr. Furuhashi, please don't be nervous. I meant no harm. What I just said was just a small guess. It seems I guessed wrong. In that case, please forgive my rudeness. The coffee has already been paid. Mr. Furuhashi, you can stay and enjoy it. I... will take my leave now."

After saying that, Kitagawa Isao made a move to get up and leave.

However, before his buttocks could even leave the chair, a large hand suddenly gripped his wrist tightly.

"Detective Kurosawa, I...I need your help..."

After saying this, Gu Qiao Nian seemed to have lost all her strength, and leaned back against the chair.

Seeing this, a smile gradually appeared on Kitagawa Isao's face.

He knew that his strategy of feigning indifference had finally succeeded...

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

More than half an hour passed after Kitagawa Isao instigated Kobashi Nen.

The members of the Junior Detective Club walked into the movie theater hand in hand.

They had originally planned to go to the nearby park to play football and hide-and-seek.

However, when they arrived, they were told that the park was undergoing infrastructure maintenance that day. So, they had no choice but to cancel their football plan. After some discussion, they decided to watch a movie called "Gomera the Monster".

Conan Edogawa was full of complaints about this.

He felt that since they were a group of juvenile detectives, they should watch movies that suited their identity, such as "The Legend of the Demon King Murder Case" or "The Snow Mountain Villa Murder Case."

But as soon as the three children heard Gomera's name, it was as if they had flipped a switch. They completely ignored his advice and even grabbed him and dragged him to the movie theater.

Then came buying tickets, choosing a venue, and reserving seats...

After a series of actions, Conan was not given a chance to refute. By the time he came to his senses, a movie ticket for seat 16 in row 9 had appeared in his hand.

Seeing this, Conan Edogawa was on the verge of tears and tried to find some empathy and comfort from Ai Haibara.

However, to his surprise, Ai Haibara seemed to have a very strong interest in the movie Gomera.

"Oh, I actually think this movie is quite good. It's a story about foolish humans who become obsessed with the power of science and eventually reach their doom... Why would anyone think such a movie is childish? Or is it that our great detective can only see those things in the movie, just the monsters and fights on the surface?"

"I……"

After being inexplicably rebuked by Ai Haibara, Conan Edogawa felt awkward and could only walk into the screening room with his movie ticket and complimentary popcorn, looking quite annoyed.

Although this movie theater is about to be demolished, it still has all the necessary equipment.

There's a cool breeze, and there are handrails...

After searching around, the group sat down next to their seats.

There weren't many people in the screening room. Excluding them, there was only one college student, a young couple, and a thug-like man sitting arrogantly in the last row.

Most importantly, the man was smoking in the screening room.

This made the members of the Junior Detective Club frown, preparing to step forward and argue with the other party.

However, they were eventually pulled back after being persuaded by Conan Edogawa.

"Don't act rashly. If I'm not mistaken, that person should be a member of some local gang."

After pulling the three kids back to their seats, Conan Edogawa began to explain, while also showing off his deduction skills, "There's a faint tattoo on his arm, and although his clothes are ordinary, his eyes are fierce, and his chin is slightly raised... These are all signs of a life of fighting and brawling. We're just kids, and the most important thing is to always be careful to protect ourselves!"

"OK then……"

After Conan's words, the three little ones lost their previous enthusiasm and sat down listlessly to watch the movie's recap and theme song.

Meanwhile, Ai Haibara, after sitting down, casually inquired about Conan's future plans.

She didn't think Conan Edogawa was the kind of guy who would choose to settle things quietly.

Such a reckless person, who never restrained himself when facing the organization, how could he possibly be afraid of an ordinary thug?

However, as soon as she turned around, she discovered that Conan Edogawa had disappeared without her noticing.

Looking back, she finally saw...

It turns out that in that brief moment, Conan Edogawa had already run to the back row and walked up to the thug smoking a cigarette...

Indeed, as always, it didn't disappoint...
