Chapter 107 Conan Becomes a Big Enemy
Rice Flower Central Building, top floor observation restaurant.
Yuya, Mao Li Ran, Conan, Miyano Shiho, Miyano Akemi, four big people and one small one sat around a round table.
Mao Lilan looked around and whispered to Yuya, "Shinichi, this place is very expensive, right? Why did you invite us to eat here?"
You smiled nonchalantly and showed a gold card: "It's okay, I brought You... dad's gold card."
Mao Lilan rolled her eyes and said with disdain, "You loser!"
Yuya: "Come on, they are the ones who are only concerned about traveling abroad and leaving their son at home. What's wrong with me swiping the card a few times?"
Mao Lilan chuckled, looked at Yuya and then at Conan who was concentrating on eating the cake, and whispered: "To be honest, I have been thinking that you are Conan recently."
Yuya smiled awkwardly.
Mao Lilan propped up her chin and said, "I have always thought that you were involved in a very troublesome case. In order to hide your identity, you asked Dr. Agasa to make a medicine to shrink your body." As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing, "Am I really imaginative?"
Youye laughed dryly. It was not a far-fetched idea. His guess was almost right. He coughed and said, "You idiot, there is no medicine that can make the body smaller. Do you think you are acting in a movie?"
Mao Lilan looked at Yuya, then looked at Conan who was eating the cake seriously, and said: "But you two are really alike. I still feel like Conan is you."
Yuya and Conan froze at the same time. No way, could they feel this?
Yuya quickly took a sip of his drink and said, "Maybe it's because we're both detectives."
Mao Lilan tilted her head: "Is that so?"
Yuya laughed dryly: "Yeah, doesn't Conan like to play detective games? He investigates cases on the spot like Uncle Maori or Yuya."
Mao Lilan thought about it and nodded suddenly: "Hearing you say that, it seems to make some sense."
Youya wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in his heart, at least he managed to fool it.
Mao Lilan looked at Miyano Akemi and couldn't help asking: "Yuya is so quiet today, don't you usually quarrel with Shinichi?"
Miyano Akemi was stunned for a moment, coughed lightly, and a sly smile appeared on her face: "I don't want to disturb you two from being so affectionate."
Mao Lilan's face suddenly turned red: "What are you talking about!"
Conan and Miyano Shiho couldn't help but see veins bulging on their foreheads.
Miyano Shiho: Sister, are you still my sister?
Conan: Damn it! I shouldn't have treated them to this meal. It costs me money and I have to watch them chat from the sidelines!
Conan raised his head and looked at Mao Lilan: "Sister Xiaolan, you won't abandon me because you have Brother Shinichi, right?"
Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, her face turned even redder, and she said with a smile: "Conan, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"That's right," Conan forked the cake in front of him vigorously, "You kept talking to Shinichi brother and ignored me."
Mao Lilan quickly touched Conan's head and comforted him: "Okay, I won't talk to Shinichi anymore, I'll talk to you, okay?"
Conan immediately showed a bright smile: "Okay~"
Youye suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned his head sharply, but found nothing. A trace of suspicion flashed across his face.
I always feel like someone is watching me from behind... Could it be Vermouth? Has she started investigating Conan?
But since Conan and I appeared at the same time, she should be full of questions now, right?
Seeing Yuya's strange look, I couldn't help but ask, "Shinichi, what's wrong?"
Yuya shook his head: "It's okay."
Mao Lilan thought for a moment and said, "Come to think of it, there is a new English teacher in our class."
"English teacher?" Youye was stunned. Could it be Judy?
Mao Lilan nodded: "Yeah, I heard it's a foreigner."
"Eh? Is she pretty?" Kudo Shinichi immediately became interested.
"Hey, hey," Mao Lilan lowered her eyes with contempt, "How do you know it's a girl?"
Youye laughed dryly: "I guessed." The woman, it must be Judy.
So, Niide Tomoaki has been replaced? But that's not right. When he swapped roles with Niide Tomoaki during the day, he didn't notice any flaws.
Could it be that Vermouth's disguise skills were so strong that even he couldn't see through them? But that was true. He and Aida Tomoaki were not familiar with each other, and it was indeed difficult to tell them apart just by looking at their appearance.
I can't just pinch it, right? I'll just find a chance to test it.
Mao Lilan rolled her eyes and muttered quietly: "All boys are the same."
Yuya coughed awkwardly and pretended to continue eating.
Conan rolled his eyes, looking unhappily at Mouri Ran and "Kudo Shinichi" who were talking and laughing. He turned around and wanted to say something bad to Miyano Shiho, but saw her talking and laughing with "Kamiya Yuya".
"A couple" on the left, "a couple" on the right, Conan suddenly felt like he had become a big victim.
So why did I have to ask Youya to pretend to treat me to a meal today?
···
A fairly pleasant dinner ended. Except for the big enemy Conan with a gloomy face, the other four people walked towards the elevator talking and laughing.
If it were usual, Mouri Ran would definitely notice Conan's abnormality, but unfortunately today her attention was on Kudo Shinichi.
"Ah!!!" Suddenly, a terrified scream was heard.
The five people were startled. Yuya and Conan ran over subconsciously. Miyano Akemi was stunned for a moment, then remembered that she was Kamiya Yuya today, and hurriedly followed.
A man and two women slumped in front of an elevator, looking inside with horror on their faces.
Seeing that the elevator door was about to close, Youya rushed forward quickly and pressed the outbound call panel, and the elevator door opened again.
A fat uncle was sitting in the elevator with his eyes wide open in fear. He was shot in the head between the eyebrows. It was a murder scene.
···
Inspector Megure, the hard-working model worker in Beika Town, arrived with a group of police officers.
He was surprised to see "Kudo Shinichi": "Brother Kudo, why are you here?"
Yuya was a little helpless, and greeted with a smile: "Inspector Megure, I came out to have a meal with my friends."
Inspector Megure glanced at Ran Mouri, Conan, Shiho Miyano and Yuya Kamiya behind him and nodded in realization.
"So what's going on?" he asked.
Yuya explained: "When we finished eating and were about to go downstairs, we heard screams, and when we came over, we saw this scene."
"We have roughly asked around. The deceased is Taiji Chenmi, 58 years old, and the president of a game company. The three people who found the body are also employees of this company." Youya pointed to a man and two women in the back who still looked terrified. "They came to get something they forgot, and found the body when they were in the elevator."
"Forgot something?" asked Inspector Megure.
Yuya nodded: "Yes, their company held a 20th anniversary celebration in the restaurant, and the thing they forgot was the bouquet for the party. Their company is located on the 24th and 36th floors, a total of 13 floors, and this elevator is also a company-only elevator."
"According to them, the president was not feeling well today and said he had to go to the company and left early."
Inspector Megure nodded. Although Brother Kudo had been missing for a while, he was still as reliable as before. He had already sorted out the basic information before they arrived.
He glanced at the dead man in the elevator and said, "The dead man's clothes are so messy. It seems that the criminal's target is money, right?"
"Hmm?" Inspector Megure suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity and asked Takagi Wataru, "Has a similar case happened here before?"
Takagi Wataru had a face full of question marks.
Inspector Megure stroked his chin and recalled: "I remember that I was still a rookie detective at that time. There was a strange young man who kept muttering..."
Takagi Wataru smiled bitterly: "Inspector, I was probably still in elementary school at that time, right?"
"I'm afraid this case is not about money." Suddenly, a voice sounded.
Inspector Megure suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, that's the feeling."
