Stay away from Conan

Chapter 691 Conversation at the Dinner Table

"Huh? How do you know?"

Xiaolan asked slightly surprised that Yuanzi actually knew about this waiter.

"He kept staring at us at the gate, so I asked the people at the hotel about it."

Sonoko explained.

"Then why is he helping here?"

Seeing the waiter quickly continue to be busy in the restaurant, Xiaolan continued to ask.

"That's probably because the owner of this place and the Tile House Hotel where we stayed must be the same."

Yuanzi glanced at the waiter's back and said slightly depressed.

"Huh? Are you staying at the Tile House Hotel?"

However, when Sonoko told her and Xiaolan where they currently lived, Michioki Masahiko couldn't help but asked in surprise.

"yes."

Xiaolan nodded to this.

"Isn't it nearby?"

Michowaki Masahiko smiled and said:

"I'm staying at the Izu Princess Hotel over there. How about we go to the high-end restaurant of my hotel to have a meal together tonight, and then go to the fireworks display?"

"Hey! Really! That's great!"

Hearing this, Yuanzi couldn't help but said in surprise.

But in this regard, Xiaolan felt that Masahiko Michowaki was serious about Sonoko. After thinking for a while, she waved her hand and said:

"Then...Conan and I won't go. After all, we already participated in the fireworks display yesterday..."

"Hey? Xiaolan, you're not going?"

Hearing this, Yuanzi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, then he lowered his head and was silent for a while, then hesitantly considered whether to go to the fireworks display or not -

After all, the fireworks display was indeed attended last night.

"You are talking about the fireworks display near the hotel where you stayed yesterday, right? That scene is completely incomparable to the fireworks display tonight!"

However, looking at the hesitant attitude of the two girls in front of him, Masahiko Michowaki added:

"After all, tonight's show is the highlight!"

"Really!"

Hearing this, Yuanzi couldn't help but feel excited. She clasped her hands together and said in anticipation as if praying.

——"Oh, are you going to the fireworks display near that luxury hotel?"

However, before Yuanzi could be happy for too long, a disappointing voice sounded again——

I saw the waiter before putting the fried noodles that Sonoko ordered on their table, and seemed to have heard the conversation between several people, and asked aloud.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

In response, Yuanzi glared at the waiter who broke the happy atmosphere with an unhappy expression, and asked in a deep voice.

"No, it's nothing."

In a calm tone, the waiter explained:

"If you just go there, remember not to run around alone. It's better to go with a few more reliable friends."

"Why?"

Even more displeased, Yuanzi asked with some resistance to the young waiter's preaching words.

"Haven't you heard about it these days? Something happened on the beach near that hotel."

The waiter continued to explain in his calm tone.

"Has something happened?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan and Yuanzi couldn't help but look at each other, feeling a little strange. At the same time, Conan, who was originally very bored, seemed to be interested in this——

"Oh, speaking of this, I did hear the local people talk about it."

However, before the waiter could continue speaking, Michiowaki Masahiko seemed to have remembered what the other party wanted to say, and explained:

"It seems to be talking about the murder of a woman with long brown hair who was stabbed several times in the abdomen a year ago."

"murdering case?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan and Yuanzi couldn't help but look a little scared, while Conan cheered up.

"That's right."

In this regard, the waiter followed Michiwaki Masahiko's words and said in detail:

"The woman was killed on the way to the luxury hotel. Since there were no witnesses, the case is still under investigation. Since a year has passed since the murder, tourists have already forgotten what happened at that time, and The business of that hotel has not been affected, but the murderer has not been caught yet, so it is best to be careful when going there.”

After saying that, the waiter left.

"Ah, this kind of thing doesn't matter."

However, after the waiter left, looking at the two girls in front of him who were really frightened by the incident a year ago mentioned by the waiter, Michowaki Masahiko couldn't help but comfort him:

"I'm not asking you two ladies to just go there like this. We are going together and I will drive you there. So no matter what, I will protect you and nothing will happen!"

"Um……"

In this regard, listening to Masahiko Michowaki's words, Sonoko and Xiaolan couldn't help but gradually felt relieved...

…

The setting sun gradually sets——

In the open-air restaurant of the Izu Princess Hotel, Takato, Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Sayama were sitting at the same table, ordering some drinks and meals and chatting together.

"So, when Mr. A Li came to chat with us, he was actually questioning us to see if we are the 'Night Baron', right?"

At this time, when the conversation was almost finished, Maeda Satoshi asked with a helpless smile.

"Yes, after all, the suspicions have to be eliminated one by one!"

Gao Yuan said slightly seriously.

"But if I have to say it, now everyone agrees that Mr. A Li is the most likely candidate for the 'Night Baron'! Are you asking us to cross-examine you like this to clear your suspicions? ?”

In response to this, Sayama Akiko, who was standing by, twirled her fingertips on one side of her hair, showed a handsome expression, and asked Gao Yuan instead.

"Oh, who knows!"

Meaningfully, Gao Yuan put his hands on the table, rested his chin on his folded hands, looked at Akiko Sayama seriously and said -

"Perhaps, this whole event was a scam from the beginning!"

So, Gao Yuan stared at Sayama Akiko and said.

Suddenly, the atmosphere on the table became a little subtle.

Takato and Sayama Akiko stared at each other with suspicion, which made Maeda Satoshi very embarrassed to be sandwiched between them——

"Ah! Regardless of whether it is a scam or not, it is an indisputable fact that half of our room fee has been paid. Even if we are all tricked by the 'Night Baron' in the end, it might be a good thing to come here for a few days. , isn’t it?”

In response to this, Maeda Satoshi couldn't help but smooth things over, and then said to Akiko Sayama with a wry smile:

"Mingzi, you do the same, don't you want to be so serious?"

"so……"

Looking at the attitudes of the two people, Gao Yuan suddenly smiled, then sat up straight, as if he had just deduced the result, and told a fact from the original work——

"Actually, the person who signed up for this event is Miss Sayama Akiko...right?"

"Why?"

In response to this, Maeda Satoshi couldn't help but look confused. Seeing Akiko Sayama taking a sip of the drink in front of her as if she was defeated, Maeda Satoshi said to Gao Yuan in surprise:

"Indeed... Akiko signed up, but she is a loyal reader of Kudo Yusaku, and she especially loves the character 'Night Baron'!"

Helplessly, Maeda Satoshi explained with a smile.

"snort……"

In this regard, after drinking the water, Sayama Akiko said with an unconvinced look:

"That's right! When it comes to 'Baron', I definitely know it better than anyone else! For this reason, I even have the same haircut as him!"

As she said that, Sayama Akiko flicked the back of her hair——

"yes!"

Gao Yuan nodded in agreement, took a sip of the iced American coffee in front of him, and said lightly:

"It was said in the event that the organizer would dress up as a 'Baron' in the past few days to create certain incidents. Because of this, it would be more appropriate to dress up like a 'Night Baron' with your hairstyle, right?"
