Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Good morning, Kudo."

Sitting next to Kudo Shinichi with breakfast, Sera Masumi saw Hattori Heiji who was out of place among the Teidan school uniforms.

"I saw you and Xiaolan talking about something and then rushed out of the restaurant. Is there something more urgent?"

Sera Masumi was naturally looking at Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji. After all, the Osaka detective ran away and came back with Kudo Shinichi, which made her understand that the two people should be able to trust each other.

"It's nothing, it's just that Kudo accidentally wet the bed last night, so Xiaolan asked me to bring clean underwear to give to him."

Hattori Heiji made an astonishing statement with a serious face, causing the entire restaurant to fall silent and all look over.

"you……"

Even the somewhat boyish Sera Masumi fell silent and faced Kudo Shinichi hesitantly: "What should I say?"

"Just shut up, thank you."

Kudo Shinichi sat down with his face covered, until no one looked at him openly, and then asked about Sera Masumi.

"Officer Ayanokouji, do you have any clues?"

"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't talk to you." Masumi Sera hugged her chest and said, "Last night in the middle of the night, the second victim appeared."

"Who is it? That curly hair, or the director, it can't be An Chi Keiko, right?"

"No, he's a composer."

Sera Masumi talked about what happened.

Just last night when they returned to the room, because the female student in the same room went to have a private meeting with her boyfriend in the middle of the night, Sera Masumi was the only one left in the suite.

"I was really bored at the time, so I called Miss Anzhi's room through the landline phone. She happened to be awake too, so we started chatting."

"Is she really not sleeping? It's different from what's shown on TV. People actually sleep soundly after being overly frightened." Both Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji looked at Sera Masumi suspiciously.

"It wasn't you who woke her up, was it?"

"That has nothing to do with what I'm about to say."

Sera Masumi punched the air in front of her, and the wind from the punch felt extremely comfortable on Kudo Shinichi's face.

"Miss Anchi and I talked about Yuuji. She said that Yuji was actually quite cute when he was autistic, but after he returned to normal, he became a bit venomous and talkative. When he was being helped by the Kudo family, he always saw his brother getting angry at his younger brother. cry."

Tiger fangs were looming in Sera Masumi's mouth, probably because the topic involved two celebrities from Tedan High School and Junior High School. The students who originally planned to leave the restaurant, as well as the students who had just entered, also pricked up their ears to listen.

"She explained that her elder brother was more than a year older than her younger brother, but he would pee his pants, but his younger brother would not. My elder brother was used to licking his fingers, and the younger brother would spit lemon juice on his fingers.

My elder brother had a crush on a girl of the same age in his old kindergarten, and my younger brother spread the rumor that he actually liked boys. After he was found out, he even criticized his elder brother for not being old enough to fall in love. "

"Yes!"

Kudo Shinichi hammered the table with his fist, gritted his teeth and said, "It's because of that boy that I couldn't stay in my original kindergarten at all. Some boys even came over and said they liked me."

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to the new kindergarten properly and met Xiaolan. In fact, Kudo Yukiko and Fei Eri had not seen each other for two years at that time. After all, Fei Eri was just a housewife at that time, and her husband was an ordinary policeman. They were in two different worlds from the Kudo family.

"Hey, now that I think about it, I still have to thank Yuuji?"

But when he recalled what happened in the past, let alone thanking him, he wanted to tie up this younger brother and throw him into the famous Otori Bar in Tokyo.

"You were really miserable before..."

After hearing this, Hattori Heiji began to feel a little grateful to his parents for not giving him a younger brother.

"Off topic, off topic, what next?" "Then, there was a scream from Miss Anchi, so I rushed up, and in the composer's room I saw a huge tengu's face on the ceiling, which disappeared in the blink of an eye. Gone."

Sera Masumi found a piece of white paper and drew a slightly abstract picture of a tengu: "This is this kind of tengu."

"Where's Mr. Agata, is he dead?"

Kudo Shinichi was biting bread in his mouth. When he saw Sera Masumi shaking his head, he asked, "Is he injured?"

"Except for the two big bumps on Mr. Nishiki's head, there were no other injuries."

"No, it's suspicious no matter how you think about it, right?" Kudo Shinichi picked up the milk: "If Yuuji were here, he would definitely say that this composer is probably the prisoner."

"What's the reason?" Sera Masumi didn't quite understand: "Agata was indeed attacked."

"You forgot that in addition to one freeloader, there are three art workers in his family." Hattori Heiji pointed at Kudo Shinichi: "In TV works, unless Agada Riki is a prisoner, he and the prisoner planned it together. Otherwise, he would not have suffered this kind of injury due to this murder.”

But the reality is not necessarily true. After all, reality does not follow common sense.

"That makes sense." Holding her chin, Sera Masumi remembered the results of Nishiki's room search.

"Not long after you left, they searched the entire room. The blood on the ceiling started from the top room and extended to the bottom, but only the blood in the middle was found to be consistent with Mr. Nishiki."

There are also static labels scattered on the ground. Even if Ximu has the habit of recording important things with static labels, such a quantity of stickers is simply unreasonable.

"Sure enough, I still have no idea. Let's go to Mr. Ximu's room later and have a look."

Xiaolan walked into the restaurant with Kuroba Rise and Sonoko who had just woken up, and sat next to Kudo Shinichi amidst everyone's snickers.

"how's it going?"

Xiaolan, who has just arrived at the restaurant, does not know the latest version spread by Hattori Heiji.

"Um, it's okay."

Kudo Shinichi glared at Kuroba Ryoyo, who was sitting between Xiaolan and himself: "You still don't know the content of Miss Anchi's movie, right?"

Not surprisingly, considering the current situation, the release date of this movie will probably be postponed.

"Actually, Miss Anchi told me the content of this story before. It is a poignant story."

Just as Kudo Shinichi was about to speak, there was a commotion outside the restaurant. A group of policemen in suits began to gradually control all entrances and exits of the hotel, and a policeman was left to manage each elevator.

"Fa...what happened?"

Students on all floors were lying on the glass and looking down. They saw countless police cars parked at the hotel's gate, and even the teachers who wanted to inquire about the situation were blocked back.

"No way, Mr. Nishiki probably isn't famous to this extent yet."

Kudo Shinichi stared, saw the noble police officer appearing in the restaurant, and ran over quickly.

"Officer Ayanokouji, why did you suddenly seal off the hotel?"

"Ahem, there are various reasons anyway." Ayanokouji felt the pet on his shoulder flash in front of Kuroba Riyo again, and the corners of his mouth twitched before sighing.

"Anyway, we are required to investigate this case within two days. The police minister of Kyoto Prefecture is waiting for news, and because he is worried about the safety of the students, he specially asked the police to protect it."

"then you……"

"That's it. Please give me your guidance in the next three days, Kudo Shinichi-kun." (End of Chapter)
