Chapter 468 One extra person
The three of them entered the cabin and found two other people sitting inside, a man and a woman, who looked to be about the same age as Yuya and the others.
The boy was concentrating on playing the handheld game console, and he didn't even look up when the three people came in;
The girl had short hair and wore headphones on her head. She crossed her legs and seemed to be listening to music. When she saw the three people come in, her eyes behind her sunglasses stayed on Youya for a moment.
Yuya immediately realized that the girl who was dressed very similarly to the boy was Nanatsuki Koshimizu, and the one playing the handheld game console was the potential victim, Junya Tokitsu.
As for Nanatsuki Koshimizu, Youya remembered that netizens in his previous life had mixed reviews about her.
She has a sense of justice that a detective should have. At the same time, Nanatsuki Koshimizu can be said to be one of the most beautiful criminals. Her beauty makes people feel that she should not be a villain.
However, the death of her best friend caused this person who originally had a bright future to fall into extremes, and from the moment she decided to kill someone, she lost her qualifications as a detective.
Especially her behavior of trying to drag both Hattori Heiji and Conan into the water at the end made people feel that she deserved it.
Therefore, Nanatsuki Koshimizu became the most controversial murderer.
However, since Youye is here, he will not let the other party go down a path of no return.
At the same time, with the inspiration he got from Toru Amuro, Youya felt that he might be able to set up a detective agency, be the boss behind the scenes, and let the detectives in the agency help collect intelligence.
But if I open an office, it will be more troublesome to deal with all kinds of things. It just so happens that Amuro Toru is the only one there, so maybe I can introduce Koshimizu Nanatsuki to him...
The people on both sides didn't know each other yet, so neither of them had the intention to say hello.
After Yuya and the other two sat down, Hiroo Tsuchio explained the precautions of this program, especially reminding them that after arriving on the island, they must not leave the room before dinner.
Obviously, the program team needs time to prepare the questions.
Finally, Kuwei Guangsheng said: "Of course, even if something happens, it will happen after dinner, but everyone should not be careless. The victory or defeat of the game begins when we land on the island."
"no problem."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Tokitsu Junya responded weakly, and didn't seem to care much about what the director said.
Yuya and the other two looked at each other.
Hattori Heiji whispered, "That's strange. Why did he say the race only started when we landed on the island? Didn't it already start before we got on the speedboat?"
Conan was also a little confused.
You smiled nonchalantly: "Maybe it was a slip of the tongue. I can smell alcohol on this director. Maybe he's still hungover and hasn't fully sobered up yet?"
Hattori Heiji nodded suddenly.
The boat was moving forward on the sea. Hirosheng Chuiwei looked a little ugly and he retched from time to time.
Shi Jinjun looked at him for a few times and asked in surprise: "You are not seasick, are you?"
Hiroo Tsuchio smiled sheepishly: "I'm hungover. I worked very late yesterday and went out drinking with other colleagues. I got drunk accidentally."
"Yeah, I see." Tokatsu Junya suddenly laughed, "Then, should we have reached a limit?"
"The limit?" Hiroo Tsuchio was confused. "Ah, that's right. The prices in that store are indeed a bit high."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu supported her chin and suddenly said, "Uncle, this is really annoying. Please smile. Isn't this too inconsiderate?"
Hiroo Tsuchio was even more confused: "Eh? Smile? I have no tolerance? Ah, this has something to do with the height and limit just now? Hahahaha..."
Hiroo Tsuchio didn't understand the inexplicable question from Nanatsuki Koshimizu at all, and could only laugh it off.
The three of them just laughed awkwardly.
"Wow," Hattori Heiji showed an interested expression and whispered to his two friends, "These two seem to have some skills."
Conan nodded slightly. It seemed that this time, in addition to Yuya and Hattori Heiji, there would be two more opponents.
But that's what makes it interesting, isn't it?
Youye said calmly: "Of course, they are representatives from other regions after all. How can they not have some real skills?"
Towards evening, the ship arrived at an isolated island.
An old man in his fifties with squinting eyes was waiting at the dock.
"Hello everyone, my name is Kotani Renzo, and I'm the person in charge of taking care of you this time. Please give me your guidance."
Kotani Renzo looked at everyone and asked in confusion, "That's strange. Didn't they say they were inviting four detectives this time? Why are there two more?"
Hattori Heiji quickly said: "This child is my assistant."
Jia Gu Lian San nodded slightly: "Then there is still one more person?"
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.
"What's going on?" Hiroo Tsuchio was a little confused. "I did pick up four people."
Kotani Renzo said, "In fact, a high school student detective arrived early this morning... He said he was a representative from overseas and his name was Hakuba Detective."
Hattori Heiji was confused: "Overseas representatives?"
Conan exclaimed, "Hakuba-tan?"
Hattori Heiji looked at Conan: "Do you know that person?"
Conan nodded heavily: "I just know his name. He is the only son of the Chief of Warning of the Hakuba Metropolitan Police Department. He has been studying abroad and rarely returns to Neon. I didn't expect to see him here."
"Huh? The only son of the Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner?" Hattori Heiji became interested. He wondered how he compared to him, the son of the Chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.
···
Everyone came to the two-story cabin at the Koshien show site and met Hakuba Tan.
Hakuba Tan looked at Yuya and smiled, "Long time no see, Kamiya-san."
Yuya smiled back, "Yeah, it's been a while."
The others looked at the two in astonishment: "Do you know each other?"
Yuya explained, "We worked together briefly before because of an incident."
"What incident?" Hattori Heiji asked curiously.
Bai Ma thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Have you heard of Twilight Villa?"
Hattori Heiji frowned and thought: "Is it the villa that is said to be made entirely of gold?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki and the others were confused: "What is Twilight Villa?"
Yuya said in a deep voice: "If you don't know, don't ask. Although this case is just an ordinary serial murder case, the Twilight Villa involves a relatively large background force, which even the police are troubled by, so..."
The series of murders that occurred in the Twilight Villa was one of the cases that Yuya had solved in the past. Although he solved the secret and discovered that the so-called Twilight Villa was actually a Golden Villa built of gold.
The owner of the Twilight Villa was a man named Karasuma Renya, who was a wealthy man half a century ago with unfathomable wealth. According to existing information, Karasuma Renya died at the age of 99.
Since then, his descendants seemed to have disappeared from this world, and there has been no news of them since.
Although no descendants of Karasuma Yeren have claimed the Dusk Annex, the Neon police did not dare to make a decision on their own. After reporting the matter to higher authorities, the Dusk Annex has not been properly handled until now.
If Yuya hadn't met Hakuba Tan today, he would have almost forgotten about this matter.
The expressions of Nanatsuki Koshimizu and others changed slightly, and seeing that You had no intention of explaining in detail, they did not ask any more questions.
Although these detectives like to find out the truth, they are not really fools. Since the incident has been solved, there is no need to meddle in it.
Kuiwei Guangsheng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the previous events. Let's introduce our selves first, okay?"
Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked around and said, "It's okay for me..."
Tokatsu Junya continued, "The cameras haven't arrived yet, right?"
Hattori Heiji took over the conversation: "In other words, apart from you, I didn't see any TV station staff at all?"
Hiroo Tsuchio explained: "The staff and the host are scheduled to come tomorrow. I specially arranged for you to come a day earlier. After all, you are not professional actors."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu took off the headphones she had been wearing and spoke first, "Let's start with me. My name is Nanatsuki Koshimizu, I'm a third-year high school student, and my hometown is Fukuoka.
Although I was selected as the high school representative for the southern region, I have only solved about a hundred cases so far. I am a novice, so please go easy on me."
Tokitsu Junya half-closed his eyes, looking mysterious: "My name is Tokitsu Junya, although I was born in Tokyo, I was selected as the representative of the northern part because I grew up in Hokkaido.
I have participated in about 300 incidents, and arrested more than 250 criminals in those incidents. Well, it is inevitable that there will be cases of escape or suicide. "
After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless.
Yuya observed Nanatsuki Koshimizu out of the corner of his eye and found that when Tokitsu Junya mentioned the criminal's suicide, there was a hint of unnaturalness in her expression.
Obviously, she was deeply hurt by the fact that her best friend committed suicide after being wrongly accused of murder.
Hattori Heiji shook his hair in a casual manner - although his short hair would not look elegant when he shook it, "My name is Hattori Heiji, and I am a well-known detective in the Kansai area. As for the cases I have solved..."
He spread his hands and said smugly, "Sorry, I haven't kept track of it since it exceeded one thousand."
"One thousand?" Tokitsu Junya and Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Hattori Heiji in surprise. Koshimizu Nanatsuki was so surprised that her sunglasses almost fell off.
Shi Jinjunya showed false admiration: "This is really, quite amazing!"
Conan lowered his eyes and said disdainfully, "Hey, there should be a limit to your bragging, okay?"
You are just like a cow riding a plane, you are so awesome!
Hattori Heiji bent down and said with a wicked smile: "I'm telling the truth - of course, if you include things like helping to find cats when I was a kid."
Conan was speechless. Could that kind of thing be considered an incident?
Hakuba Tan chuckled, "I see, you are Hattori Heiji-san. I often hear my father mention you."
Hattori Heiji looked at Hakuba Tan with burning eyes: "I heard about you on the way here. You are the only son of the Director of Warning, right?"
Hakuba Detective smiled slightly: "Yes, you and I have a similar background as your father is the chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters."
Hattori Heiji made a long "huo" sound in a strange accent.
Tokatsu Junya asked curiously, "By the way, how many cases have you solved?"
Bai Ma pinched his chin and pretended to think: "Let me think, maybe about five hundred?"
Hattori Heiji showed a triumphant expression: "Only half of mine."
Hakuba Tan didn't care about Hattori Heiji's attitude at all, and said, "Ah, actually these are calculated based on cases that happened in Japan. Because I studied abroad for a long time, I only came back to Japan occasionally, but my mother-in-law always took the commission for me without my permission."
"By the way, since I'm away from Japan for a long time, I'm participating in the competition as an overseas guest this time."
Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched slightly. He had just returned to Japan and solved 500 cases? Didn't this instantly surpass everyone else?
Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who solved the fewest cases, muttered, "Didn't they say they only invited four detectives from the east, south, west and north? Why did one from overseas show up?"
Bai Ba Tan smiled and said, "Actually, it's because my mother-in-law received a call from Director Tsuchio, asking if I could represent Kudo Shinichi, who couldn't be contacted, and participate in the Detective Koshien as a representative of the East.
Although I was a little dissatisfied with the excuse of replacing someone else, my mother-in-law begged me with tears in her eyes, saying that she wanted everyone to know that there was someone like me in Neon, so I had no choice but to rush back from England. "
"And, if we really want to talk about the representative of the East, I personally think that Kamiya Yuya is more worthy of this title than Kudo Shinichi."
Everyone subconsciously looked at Youya.
Yuya smiled and said, "My name is Yuya Kamiya. I'm a well-known detective in Tokyo. I'm participating in this competition as a representative of the East."
Tokatsu Junya's expression changed slightly. He had obviously heard of Yuya's name. He asked tentatively, "How many cases have you solved?"
Yuya glanced at him and said calmly: "For me, rather than the number of cases, I value finding out the truth behind the cases and not letting the real murderer go unpunished. Therefore, I have never counted how many cases I have solved."
"But, allow me to be a little complacent here. So far, my case-solving rate is 100%, and all the cases have complete clues and absolute evidence to prove the murderer, so there has never been a case of false conviction or wrongful conviction."
Tokatsu Junya's face suddenly turned ugly, but he covered it up very well.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu was slightly shocked and asked subconsciously, "Nothing at all?"
Yuya nodded very firmly: "Not a single one."
Everyone suddenly fell silent; even Hattori Heiji, who had just boasted to the sky, stopped smiling and became serious.
Not to mention Yuya's 100% crime-solving rate, the awareness of his opening remarks alone was much higher than that of everyone else present.
They are still calculating the number of incidents, but their focus is always on finding the truth.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at Yuya deeply: "You are really... amazing."
If you were the detective who solved the case, would the ending be different?
