Chapter 473: Koshien Problem 1 Solved
Tokitsu Junya was surprised, but after carefully observing Yuya's expression, he found that he really seemed to be just praising himself.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Yes, Kamiya Yuya's main activity area is in Tokyo. Although I remember that there were a few cases outside of Tokyo, there was no news that he appeared in the south, especially in Shikoku Island where the case occurred.
Tokatsu Junya smiled and said, "Kamiya, you are joking. I just happened to come across a similar case. But I am surprised that you, Kamiya, figured out the method so quickly."
Yuya smiled faintly: "Now that the northern representative's reasoning process is over, let's take a look at mine."
He then opened the envelope and took out the paper with his reasoning process written on it.
Tokatsu Junya and Koshimizu Nanatsuki took a closer look and glanced through it, and found that the content was almost the same as Tokatsu Junya's reasoning.
Tokatsu Junya said with some admiration: "It is exactly the same as my reasoning. It seems that we will definitely be the first two to enter the second round."
Yuya smiled, looked at Koshimizu Nanatsuki and asked, "Where's Koshimizu-san?"
Nanatsuki Koshimizu also came up with her own reasoning process, which was exactly the same as those of the other two.
This was something she specially prepared just in case when she saw that Kamiya Yuya was actually invited.
Youye smiled and said, "It seems that this first question is relatively simple. I think the others should have figured out the method of the secret room by now, right?"
Tokatsu Junya was a little discouraged, and the arrogant expression on his face also faded a little. He thought he could have some advantages by virtue of his status as a "prophet", but he didn't expect that the others were not simple.
Not to mention Kamiya Yuu, it was not surprising that he could solve Tokitsu Junya easily; but I did not expect that this rookie detective, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who had only solved a hundred cases, could crack the secret of the locked room so quickly.
It seems that the people who came to participate in Detective Koshien to compete for the No. 1 Detective in Neon all have some skills!
Shi Jin Runya sighed and said, "Let's go to the restaurant?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki was a little confused: "Are you not going to continue setting up the secret room?"
Tokatsu Junya shook his head: "I thought I was the first to solve the secret room, but I didn't expect that you two were not slower than me. No, you might even be faster than me."
Thinking of the rumors outside that Kamiya Yuya was very fast, Tokatsu Junya couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that Kamiya-san saw through it as soon as he entered the room?"
Yuya smiled slightly and didn't answer, but the implied meaning was obvious.
Suddenly, only the last trace of pride on Tokatsu Junya's face remained stubbornly - it was too big, really too big.
The difference is too big!
Koshimizu Nanatsuki bit her lip.
What should I do? According to my original plan, after confirming my target, I would use this method to kill him.
Her goal was to avenge her best friend, and she didn't even consider what would happen next. What would she do with the subsequent competitions?
Now that You is here, she has no way to do anything; it may be too late to think of a puzzle at the last minute. With the ability of these people, ordinary questions will not be difficult for them at all.
Yuya glanced at Nanatsuki Koshimizu and vaguely guessed what she was thinking, but did not point it out. Instead, he said, "Let's go have dinner and see if anyone else has solved the secret room trick."
The three of them walked towards the restaurant together.
Youya noticed that Nanatsuki Koshimizu was in a low mood, and thought to himself: There is no need for you to sacrifice your future for someone like that.
Besides, killing is the lowest form of revenge against someone.
Sometimes...living can be more painful than dying.

The three of them came to the living room and everyone was a little surprised to see them.
Bai Ma Tan asked doubtfully, "Northern Representative, have you finished decorating your secret room?"
Hattori Heiji and Conan also looked at him inquiringly.
Tokatsu Junya shook his head and looked at the two people beside him helplessly: "There is no need to arrange it. These two representatives have already solved the secret room. The method is exactly the same as my reasoning. It is a waste of effort to continue to arrange it."
"I see."
The three of them nodded suddenly.
Seeing that they didn't look surprised at all, Nanatsuki couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that you have also figured out how to unlock the secret room?"
Hakuba Tan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other, and Hattori Heiji snorted and turned his face away.
Yuya suggested, "How about this, the three of us have already checked the answers, so the two of you can each say a keyword and see if they are the same? This will save some time and allow us to move directly to the second question."
As for why there are only two, it is because Conan plays the role of Hattori Heiji's assistant this time.
The two did not object.
"Let me go first," Hattori Heiji said first, "The keyword I gave is window."
Bai Ma Tan smiled and said, "In that case, my keyword is screw."
"How about reasoning with you?" Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows.
Yuya smiled slightly: "It seems that the answer is obvious."
Several people compared their reasonings and found that they were exactly the same.
Hattori Heiji poked the fried egg on the plate with a fork in boredom and said, "But I didn't expect that we would solve the first round of questions so quickly? It feels a bit boring."
Bai Ma Tan chuckled and said, "After all, it's only the first round. It should just be a warm-up for us."
Youye forked a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. After chewing for a while, he said, "However, have you noticed that the method used in this secret room is somewhat similar to that of a certain case?"
The others looked at him in confusion, while Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Tokitsu Junya were shocked.
But one person was just surprised, was Yuya going to bring up that case? The other person was subconsciously nervous.
Hattori Heiji asked: "What case?"
Yuya glanced around and his eyes fell on the corner of the restaurant where there was a pot of pale purple lavender.
"Have you noticed? There's lavender everywhere in this cabin."
"Lavender?" Everyone subconsciously looked towards that corner, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu pretended to have thought of something, pinching her chin and said, "Secret room, lavender, the only thing I can think of is the Lavender Villa secret room murder case that happened a year ago."
Bai Ma Tan was a little confused: "Why do you say that?"
Conan thought for a moment and said, "Now that you mention it, the method used in this secret room is indeed somewhat similar to that used in the murder case."
Detective Bai Ma: "What exactly happened?" Because he has been overseas for a long time, he doesn't have a clear understanding of the cases in Neon.
Yuya explained, "It was a case that happened a year ago in a villa full of lavender on Shikoku Island. If I remember correctly, the victim was the daughter of that family.
She and a maid were the only ones at home at the time, and she was found hanged in her room. The police initially announced that she had committed suicide.
But half a year later, they suddenly said it was homicide, and the method of murder was to set up the scene into a secret room in the same way. "
Bai Ma Detective asked quickly: "Then where is the murderer?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki suddenly said, "He committed suicide before he was arrested. That's what I heard."
