Ke Xue: Miss Huihara wants to attack the police again today?

After the two of them had a meeting, they had a meeting.

After not finding anyone in the restaurant, Mao Lilan and Conan stayed in the hotel lobby.

Not long ago, Conan tried to join the case-solving group chat, but was forced to disconnect by Mao Lilan.

The two of them went straight to the sparsely populated hotel lobby like "runaway princesses" and talked in private for a while.

There was nothing ambiguous about the private conversation, and the main topic was "don't talk nonsense".

After all, both of them are quite shy. Conan had previously firmly said that he wanted to advance the relationship with Mao Lilan, but now he is still maintaining the status quo.

Seeing Dong Ye Ning and Xi Yingli coming over, Mao Lilan seemed a little nervous and uncomfortable.

Especially the look in Higashi Eri's eyes, which made her feel that her "underground romance" with Conan had been discovered.

In this situation, Conan was still relatively calm. He spoke first, "Inspector Higashino, Auntie, has the investigation yielded any results?"

He was naturally concerned about the progress of the case.

In his opinion, with the ability Higashino Ning had shown before, at least half of the case should have been solved, not to mention completely solving it.

This was indeed the case.

The suspect's target had been basically determined, and even the motive had been found, only decisive evidence was missing.

Conan felt a little itchy when he heard the news.

Seeing Higashino Ning so frantically solving the case, he also wanted to get involved.

Of course, Conan was also secretly thinking, if he participated in the investigation throughout the process, would the case have been solved by now?

Higashi Eri did not notice the abnormality between Conan and her daughter. She sat down next to Mao Lilan, "What did Conan eat?"

Conan was still holding a spoon in his hand, and there was sauce at the corner of his mouth.

Mao Lilan subconsciously answered for Conan, "It's beef and onion rice."

You really ate it?

Dong Ye Ning was narrow-minded, he couldn't stand others doing well, so he looked at Conan and got angry.

I want to eat it too!

Dong Ye Ning raised his hand and called the waiter over, "Beef and onion rice, one serving per person."

The waiter nodded and turned to leave, but suddenly turned his head and looked over, "Mr. Police Officer, by the way, I suddenly thought of something."

"Oh? Please tell me in detail." Dong Ye Ning became interested, usually when there are important clues.

The waiter pondered for a while and said, "It's just that the room where the murder took place is a little strange."

Mao Lilan, who was originally curious, suddenly became nervous, with a scared expression on her face, "Could it be haunted?!"

"No, no," the waiter waved his hand quickly, "Yes... Oh, anyway, Mr. Police Officer, just listen to me."

He immediately started to recall and simply told everything he had seen and heard.

Simply put, the lawyer Lin who did not show up had called the hotel twice, hoping to be transferred to the deceased.

When the waiter went there for the first time, no one answered the door when he knocked on it.

When he went there for the second time, there was a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door handle, and a note was attached, saying "Sorry, please tell him I will give him the money."

The waiter felt a little puzzled, so he told the lawyer Lin the original words, but the lawyer Lin was also confused.

After listening to the waiter's words, Tono Ning and Kisaki Eri looked at the beef onion rice in front of Conan at the same time, and then smiled together.

The reason... is also very simple.

The note that was searched from the trash can just now actually said "Meet with Lawyer Lin at 2 o'clock."

However, the Japanese word "林" can also represent "beef onion rice".

In other words, when Saku Hoshi committed the crime in the room, he saw the waiter and mistakenly thought that the deceased ordered rice with toppings. In order to avoid the waiter disturbing him from setting up the secret room, he hung a sign and a note on the door.

At present, only this is reasonable.

"Is the note still there?" Dong Ye Ning looked at the waiter.

The waiter nodded and took out a folded note from his pocket, "I took it and put it in my pocket."

Dong Ye Ning took it and looked at it. The handwriting on it was very abstract, and there was no hope for handwriting comparison.

So from what angle can we do something fancy?

"Secret room... alibi..."

Dong Ye Ning suddenly thought of a more suitable angle.

He doesn't need to find evidence that the other party has killed someone now, he just needs to prove that the other party has entered the room of the deceased in advance.

After all, the deceased never came out after dinner, and died during that time.

OK, the plan works.

Dong Ye Ning clapped his hands, "Everyone, listen to me."

He expressed his idea, and Kisaki Eri and others thought it was feasible.

Let's do it!

Dong Ye Ning immediately walked to the side and called Yamamura Cao.

As a result, the phone was just connected, and the angry voice of Saku Hoshi came from the other side.

"How can you police detain me without any evidence like this!?"

Dong Ye Ning: "..."

Brother Cao, I asked you to keep an eye on him, not to guard him.

What's the point of detaining someone!

"Mr. Inspector! What should I do now?"

"The suspect is too stubborn, I can't talk to him, why don't you come back and talk to him?"

Dong Ye Ning has nothing to say now.

I was defeated by you after all my tricks?

Now that Saku Hoshi knows that he is the primary suspect of the police, he will definitely be 100% vigilant.

In this way, the fishing enforcement plan he had just envisioned was instantly bankrupt.

In the future, I'd better keep Yamamura So by my side. Whether he leaves my sight or not will cause trouble for me. At least I can respond in time if he is by my side.

What should I do now?

Dong Ye Ning hesitated and said, "Officer Yamamura, please bring Mr. Mori and Mr. Saku here now."

Let's not talk about other things for now, at least Yamamura So is obedient.

Putting away his phone, Dong Ye Ning looked at Kisaki Eri and others, and said regretfully, "The plan failed, let's think of other ways."

Kisaki Eri and others were dumbfounded.

It's just a phone call, and the plan has failed?

Is it so abstract!

Conan felt that this was the moment when Dong Ye Ning needed him the most, and immediately pulled up his brain power to think of a new fishing plan.

Time passed little by little.

Yamamura So came back with his people.

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Inspector! I brought the suspect here, and my camera, please start reasoning immediately!"

I can't make any sense!

With a polite smile, Tono Ning walked up to Saku Hoshi, "Lawyer Saku, please go to the deceased's room and wait for me. I still need to prepare something."

Saku Hoshi had adjusted his mentality on the way and snorted coldly, "Forget it, Mr. Officer, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it here, so that you won't secretly abuse me."

Tono Ning shook his head, "It's okay, Lawyer Fei and others will go together later. We just need to make some preparations to replicate your secret room technique. It won't take too long."

Having said this, Saku Hoshi couldn't continue to refuse the police's request. After all, this was to ask him to cooperate with the investigation, not to restrict his personal freedom.

Moreover, Saku Hoshi had already carefully recalled that he didn't think he had anything left to deal with, so he nodded and agreed after hesitating for a moment.
