I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

On the other side, Sera Masumi, who was the first to arrive at Anchi Keiko's room, had already begun to decipher the code on the letter.

"Huh? Why haven't those two guys arrived yet?"

Sonoko stuck his head out from the door and looked in the direction of the corridor. He didn't see Shinichi and Xiaolan, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Chapter 4 Please don’t be the Riddler!

　　"What do these words mean?"

"There are also these four small black squares, so strange!"

When Shinichi and Xiaolan arrived at the door of room 1506, they saw the two girls who were traveling with them sitting at the table, looking like they were thinking hard.

Faced with such a series of clueless codes, Yi Shiliang's pure mind was at a loss for a while.

Yuanzi, on the other hand, based on the principle of strength in numbers, offered to help think together.

Although it didn't help much.

The owner of the room, Anchi Keiko, looked at the two of them with a smile. She sat on the edge of the bed and chatted with a mature beauty with a ponytail next to her from time to time.

Since they had met once at the K3 Hotel in Osaka, Shinichi immediately recognized this person's identity.

Kuraki Mai, a popular singer and a good friend of his unreliable mother.

"Ah! You are here!"

An Chi Jingzi, who was facing the door, was the first to see the two figures and stood up to greet them.

"You two are too slow! Did you do something bad?"

Compared to Sera Masumi who was still focused on deciphering the code, Sonoko simply gave up thinking and asked with a strange expression.

She always felt that these two people had done something behind her back.

Faced with such doubts, Xiaolan naturally did not have the confidence to refute, and hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Somehow, she also felt like she had betrayed her good sister.

"Ha! You hesitated! Sure enough! Tell me! What did you just do!"

Second Miss Suzuki keenly caught the hesitation of her best friend, and immediately rushed over, trying to find out the reason.

While the two were playing around, Shinichi also said hello to Anchi Keiko and Kuraki Mai.

As a junior, the etiquette should be indispensable.

Most of the elders in the world have the same 090 content. Even famous singers who are gentle and gentle in front of their fans will inevitably ask questions like an old aunt.

Kuraki Mai asked almost all the questions about the shortcomings of the parents, and Anchi Keiko also kept echoing the question.

During the day on the Qingshui stage, Anchi Keiko restrained herself a lot because she was afraid of being recognized by others.

Now I can finally have a good release.

Anyway, there were no outsiders in the room. Like a strange aunt, she began to rub Shinichi's cheeks with her hands uncontrollably.

"Hey hehe~ Young people have good skin~"

After all, she and Yukiko are the same age, but she is still single and has no children.

When she visited Xinyi's family in the past, she had always taken care of little Xinyi as her own child. Changing diapers was not just a matter of talk.

Anzhi Jingzi looked crazy, completely immersed in someone's happiness.

It wasn't until Kuraki Mai shouted in her ear that she came back to her senses.

"Keiko! You almost made Xiao Shinichi's face swell!"

"Ah! Sorry!"

Anzhi Keiko, who suddenly woke up, quickly took back her hands, covered her mouth in surprise, and apologized repeatedly.

"It's okay~"

Shinichi rubbed his face to make sure that nothing had deformed.

Although he was a little uncomfortable with it, he didn't have any objection to An Chi Keiko's actions.

After all, he is his elder, so if he just pinches his face twice, it will be fine.

It just so happened that I had something to ask them, so I took it as payment.

"You are so gentle! You are so handsome, there must be many girls who like you~"

As Kuraki Mai spoke, she glanced at Xiaolan and the others with a vague look, (badd) the teasing tone was palpable.

"It's great to be young! Let's go on a four-person date or something while we're on a school trip~"

Foursome date?

Shinichi raised his eyebrows, feeling that this singer with an aunty smile seemed to have made something wrong.

"Well, Serang is actually a girl."

Considering that a Huya girl was often misgendered because of her tomboy appearance, Shinichi gave a concise explanation.

"Ah? I know this!"

Kuraki Mai had a strange expression on her face.

Having been in the entertainment industry, she has seen too many people of unknown gender, how could she admit her mistake.

What’s more, the tomboy next to me is so cute!

"then you……"

Halfway through her words, Shinichi patted his head and immediately understood the meaning of her words.

Does co-writing four people dating mean that he is dating three of them?

"Hey! Kudo! Come and take a look at this!"

Just when he was thinking about whether to continue explaining, Sera Masumi at the table waved to him, his eyes still fixed on the string of codes.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi stopped playing around at some point and sat next to them, studying the code on the letter.

There is also a dried leaf of an octagonal gold plate placed next to the letter.

"There are too many vacancies in this code, right?"

"The arrangement of the words is also crooked!"

"I think the space between these words must have some meaning, Kudo, what do you think?"

Raising his head and looking at Shinichi who was walking beside him, Sera Masumi asked seriously.

She has fully devoted herself to this commission and started serious detective mode.

"And more! I think the leaves of this octagonal golden plate also imply something!"

Yuanzi also pretended to be serious, holding a leaf in his hand.

In the legend of Sakura Country, the leaves of the octagonal golden disk are the representative of the great monster Tengu.

It just so happens that the movie starring Anachi Keiko and her friends this time is called "Red Shura Tengu".

Even the arrogant Sonoko wouldn't believe it if there was no connection between the two.

"Tiangu..."

As soon as these mysterious things were mentioned, Xiaolan seemed a little scared and hugged Shinichi's arm and refused to let go.

"Don't worry~"

Patting the little angel's little hand for comfort, Shinichi did not look at the string of codes, but pointed to a poster on the table.

"Speaking of which, this is Aunt Keiko...sister, the movie starring you will be released this weekend!"

Under Anchi Keiko's sharp and murderous gaze, Shinichi suppressed the word aunt.

He almost forgot that since he could become good friends with his unreliable mother, they must have the same temperament in some aspects.

"That's right! It's the movie "Red Shura Tengu" with my performance as the biggest selling point!"

Before Anzhi Jingzi could speak, a voice from outside the door had already answered for her.

A middle-aged man with dark skin and a mustache walked in and said politely.

"No, no, no! This movie still depends on my skills as a director!"

Another man with a goatee and glasses walked in almost at the same time and choked.

"No, no! The music I created is the soul of this movie!"

Behind the two people, there was a man with gray hair standing.

The three of them didn't even have time to introduce themselves before they got into a heated argument about it.

When the screenwriter who arrived later joined in, the intensity of the debate escalated to several levels.

"Hahaha, that's probably the case~"

Anzhi Jingzi didn't expect that her companions were so unreliable, so she could only laugh twice to relieve her embarrassment.

"Actually, this movie is a remake of Keiko's and his five college-era works, and the posters also follow the style from that time."

It was Kuraki Mai who explained it for her.

In fact, as a singer of the theme song, Miss Diva should have had a place on the poster due to her popularity.

It's a pity that a few grown men always argue over who is more important. The layout of the poster is also ordered by the producer and cannot be easily changed.

In addition, Kuraki Mai didn't care much about this, so she didn't mention it.

"Five people? Isn't it six?"

Shinichi smiled slightly, pointed at the poster, and asked.

"Huh?!"×5

This sentence caused the four people in the argument to stop immediately, and even Anchi Keiko cast a surprised look.

"Indeed, we had a friend in college, and he also created this movie, but how did you know about it?"

Agada, who is the film's composer, asked in confusion.
