Chapter 474 End of Round 1
Before anyone else could ask in detail, Tsuchio Hiroo suddenly slammed the table and stood up. Everyone looked at him in surprise.
Hiroo Tsuchiwei looked very unhappy, with sweat on his forehead. He stood up and walked towards the door.
"What's wrong with you?" Hattori Heiji asked hurriedly.
Hiroo Tsuchio gave a dry laugh and said, "Well... I forgot my cigarette in the room." After that, he closed the door and disappeared.
Their train of thought was suddenly interrupted, and everyone lost interest in continuing the discussion.
Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes: "This uncle is indeed suspicious."
Conan nodded in agreement and said, "It seems that after hearing about the incident at Lavender Villa, he was sweating profusely."
Bai Ma pinched his chin and asked, "Could he be one of the insiders?"
Yuya stroked his chin: "Same secret room, with lavender placed everywhere. Could it be that the mastermind behind this Detective Koshien has something to do with this case?"
Nanatsuki Koshimizu remained silent. She always felt that the development of things seemed a little beyond her expectations.
Tokatsu Junya's expression remained unchanged, as if he was listening attentively, but his hands under the table were already clenched tightly.
···
After everyone finished their meal, they waited in the restaurant.
Renzo Kotani took away the reasoning process written by Yuya as the answer for everyone.
Yuya complained about this: "No, can't you write it yourself?"
Hattori Heiji laughed and said, "What does it matter? Our reasoning is the same anyway, so there's no need to waste energy."
Yuya propped up his chin and looked at Hattori Heiji with contempt: "I say, is it because your academic performance is too poor that you are afraid that you can't write the reasoning process in detail, so you make such an excuse?"
Hattori Heiji was immediately furious: "What did you say?!"
Of course, Yuya said this purely as a joke. He wasn't saying that fools couldn't be detectives, but... he hadn't met any high school detective with poor grades so far. They were all among the best.
Bai Ba Tan suddenly laughed and said jokingly: "Indeed, looking at his reckless appearance, it is hard to imagine that he can calm down and study hard."
"Hakuba, you bastard!" Hattori Heiji's face turned even darker, and for a moment he couldn't be sure whether he had become red-hot - or black-hot?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
It's raining heavily outside.
Hiroo Tsuchiwei suddenly pushed the door open, almost soaked.
Yuya pretended to be surprised and asked, "Uncle, why are you soaked all over?"
Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle, there's no need to get yourself into this state just because you're smoking a cigarette, right?"
Hiroo Tsuchio smiled awkwardly: "I went out for a while, but I didn't expect it to rain heavily suddenly..."
Tokatsu Junya suddenly stood up and everyone couldn't help but look over.
He put his hands in his pockets and said, "I'm going back to my room first. It's too boring to sit here."
Yuya reminded: "But the window of your room is taken down, right? I guess..."
Tokatsu Junya was stunned and rushed out of the restaurant.
Everyone thought something had happened, and their detective instinct drove them to follow.
I ran all the way to Tokatsu Junya's room and heard his wailing from inside.
"My bed, my quilt, and my luggage!"
The others leaned their heads to look inside and immediately saw a horrific scene - because they did not put the window back when they left, they just casually leaned it against the window hole, and unexpectedly the wind was too strong, and all the rain poured into the room.
Not only was the bed wet, the whole room was soaked, but even Tokatsu Junya's belongings didn't seem to be spared.
I'm busy cleaning up now.
Hattori Heiji and the other two couldn't bear it and stepped forward to help.
Yuya and Nanatsuki Koshimizu stood there without moving.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at Yuya with some doubt: "Aren't you going to help?"
It was inconvenient for her as a girl, and there was a lot of wind blowing in the room. It would be embarrassing if her clothes got wet.
More importantly, she had short hair that barely covered her ears. If the wind blew her hair up, it would be a disaster for others to see something they shouldn't see.
Yuya glanced around the room, not moving his feet at all: "I'm alone, and what if I catch a cold from the rain? My girlfriend will be sad when I go back."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu was stunned: "You have a girlfriend?"
Yuya pretended to be unhappy: "What's wrong? It's unreasonable for me to be so handsome without a girlfriend, right?"
Nanatsuki Koshimizu was a little speechless, but now she calmed down and observed Yuya's profile, and found that he was not bragging. He could easily deceive many girls with just this face.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu said with hollow eyes: "You are not a scumbag, are you?"
Yuya was stunned: "Why do you ask that? Do I look like that kind of person? I'm very loyal, okay!"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki choked and looked away, not intending to continue the topic.
She was thinking that she couldn't kill anyone for the time being, since there was still a lot of time until tomorrow and she could find other opportunities.
The most important thing right now is to come up with questions for the second round as quickly as possible, otherwise these detectives might become suspicious.
Moreover, Kamiya Yuya was carrying a satellite phone. If they called Nichimi TV to inquire about the situation, wouldn't this operation be exposed? Where can they find such an opportunity in the future?
Yuya glanced at Nanatsuki Koshimizu and immediately guessed what she was thinking. He said casually, "I wonder what the topic of the second round is?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked over subconsciously.
Yuya continued, "The first round's question is to solve a locked room similar to the Lavender Villa, so will the second round's question also be related to that incident?"
Nanatsuki Koshimizu forced a smile: "I don't know, I'm just a high school detective who was invited to participate." But Yuya's words gave her a reminder, maybe...
Youye smiled faintly and said nothing more, his eyes casually sweeping across her ears.
Tokatsu Junya and the others packed up their things and moved to another room.
Halfway through the journey, Nanatsuki found a random excuse and left.
She returned to the room and locked the door, then took out a thick file bag from her luggage bag. Inside was a set of files about the Lavender Villa secret room murder, which was a printed copy that she had obtained with great effort.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu flipped through the files and murmured, "A topic related to the lavender villa... maybe it could be this..."
Time passed quickly.
Kotani Renzo suddenly gathered everyone in the restaurant.
He took out a file bag and placed it on the table, then said: "First of all, congratulations to everyone. The reasoning you provided is completely correct, so everyone has passed the first round of Detective Koshien."
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the file bag.
Hattori Heiji asked tentatively: "What's in here..."
Kotani Renzo said: "It contains information about a murder case in a locked room - so the second question of Detective Koshien is to find out the truth of this case!"
Hattori Heiji couldn't help but mutter, "Another locked room murder? Isn't the theme of this episode about high school detectives?"
Youya smiled and said, "Maybe the director of this show likes the locked room murder case?"
As he spoke, he picked up the file bag, opened it, and pulled out the documents inside.
Yuya flipped through a few pages casually, revealing a somewhat surprised expression: "Is this the file on the murder in the secret room of Lavender Villa?"
The others immediately showed surprised expressions - Tokatsu Junya's hands were shaking with panic.
Hattori Heiji came up immediately and said, "Let me see!"
