"Sorry, sorry, I seem to be a little too leisurely."
Nanatsuki Koshizui apologized while remembering the scarf around her neck. She was wearing a dark blue dress and was completely different from the tomboy she wore before, as if she was a different person.
"This guy...is actually a girl?" Hattori Heiji looked at the greatly changed Koshimizu Nanatsuki and asked in surprise.
"You, you are too slow, you are not qualified as a detective."
Tang Ze said with a narrow look: "Well, that's right, after all, you only have a certain girl in your eyes, and you don't care much about other girls.
What's more, the other party does dress like a man, which is understandable."
"Asshole, don't talk nonsense!"
Hattori Heiji blushed when he heard Karasawa's teasing and shouted: "I was simply fooled by her disguise, mainly because I didn't have close contact on the ship!!"
Seeing that Hattori Heiji even admitted that he had not observed properly in order to defend himself, Karasawa did not force him anymore, but smiled and said nothing.
"I'm really sorry, it took a little long to clean up."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki straightened the tied scarf and said with a smile: "My school rules are very strict. The scarf must be symmetrical, the hem length of the skirt must be three centimeters below the knee, and the socks must be black.
Naturally, it was impossible to perm my hair, and shaving my eyebrows would mean I had to drop out of school, so I accidentally spent a little more time."
Speaking of this, Koshimi Nanatsuki pulled his hair and smiled helplessly: "I am born with brown hair, and I don't know how many times I have been warned."
"But the camera hasn't been set up yet tonight, so that's almost enough." Baima Tan smiled and reassured the other person, then he walked over and walked side by side with the other person like a gentleman.
"By the way, why didn't you change your clothes?" Hattori Heiji said unhappily.
"I wear casual clothes at school in the UK." Hakuba Tan pulled up his suit and explained with a smile, which made Hattori Heiji let out an unhappy cry.
Facing this stinky guy with a similar background to his own, Hattori Heiji felt completely unhappy.
But Hattori Heiji was just complaining, he had already made up his mind to steal his limelight later.
A group of people came to the restaurant, and the table was already filled with all kinds of delicious food.
Although dishes such as roasted turkey, oysters, salmon, tempura, and sushi are common, they look very good and the cooking skills of the cooks are not bad at all.
"That's awesome, uncle, did you do all of this!?" Koshizui Nanatsuki looked at Kotani Renzo with admiration and received a positive reply.
"It's really amazing." Koshimizu Nanatsuki sighed: "Much better than me."
"The old man is only good at this kind of cooking." Jiagu Rensan smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, hurry up and take your seats."
"By the way, Mr. Tsutsumi hasn't come here yet?" Conan looked around and asked in confusion.
"It's really strange. When I called him in the room just now, no one responded." Jiagu Rensan said strangely: "I thought he had left the room and came to the restaurant."
"Mr. Kotani, could you please take us to his room?"
After all the detectives looked at each other, Detective Bai Ma looked at Jia Gu Rensan seriously and said, please.
"Please come with me." Jiagu Liansan nodded after hearing this, turned around and walked towards the outside of the restaurant, and the group of people followed him.
"Mr. Tsutsumi, dinner is ready and everyone is waiting for you."
Arriving at the door of the room, Jiagu Liansan knocked on the door and started calling, but there was no movement at all in the room.
"There's blood on the door handle."
Just when Hattori Heiji was about to open the door, Karasawa grabbed his wrist and stopped him. His words shocked everyone present and made them nervous.
"Mr. Kotani, do you have a spare key?" Karasawa took a tissue and tried the handle, carefully avoiding the blood stains on the handle. When he couldn't open it, he turned to look at Kenzo Kotani aside and asked.
"No, no." Kotani Renzo said: "It should be that there is no backup key in the first place, and all the rooms are the same and can only be locked from the inside..."
"They are all the same, that is to say..." Junya Tokatsu touched his chin and said, "Do they all have two windows?"
"You can take a look at the situation from the window." Bai Ma Tan said and was about to go around to the window of the room, but after running a few steps, he was directly stopped by a huge sound.
"What are you doing!" Koshizui Nanatsuki looked at Hattori Heiji who hit the door and screamed, but Hattori Heiji ignored her and shouted loudly before knocking the door open.
Upon seeing this, Hakuba Tan and Tokijin Junya quickly ran back to check the situation inside the house.
They saw the Tsutsuo Hiroshi they were looking for lying on the floor of the room, and his body was tied up with ropes. It seemed that he had been attacked before.
Hattori Heiji and Conan quickly stepped forward to check on Tsuchio Hiroshi, and untied the ropes tied to his body in an attempt to wake him up.
On the other side, Tokijin Junya and others checked the surrounding situation.
"Well, the windows are all locked."
"The door lock seems to be locked tightly." Koshimizu Nanatsuki judged as he looked at the damaged and twisted latch on the door.
"So this is also a secret room murder case?" Tokijin Junya spread his hands and looked at everyone and said with a smile.
"That's true, but this premise is based on the fact that Mr. Tsutsuo is dead." The white horse detective squatted next to Tsutsuo Guangsheng and shook him.
It seemed that the shouts of several people had an effect. Tsuchio Hiroshi's expression suddenly twisted in pain, and then he slowly sat up with the help of Hattori Heiji.
"Mr. Tsuchio, what happened?" Hattori Heiji asked quickly after watching Tsuchio sit up.
"I heard someone knocking on the door before, but when I opened the door, I didn't see anyone there."
Tsutsuo Hiroshi rubbed his waist and said, "I went out and looked around, but I didn't find anyone.
Just when I was about to go back to the house, someone suddenly came out from behind and directly knocked me out with medicine."
“Detective showdown, question one.”
After Tsutsuo Hiroshi finished telling the story of his attack, Kenzo Kotani, who was squinting at the side, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the surprised people with a serious face and said:
"Please unlock the truth about this secret room. If you do, please send your personal reasoning to me in writing.
If your reasoning is correct, you will be successfully promoted and can proceed to the next round of competition.
At the same time, you can also get permission to leave the island."
"Oh?" Hattori Heiji said in a playful tone: "You mean, the game has actually started now, right?"
"Looking at it this way, the hidden cameras should have been prepared in advance." Detective Bai Ma looked around the room and said with a smile.
"But it's quite unexpected. I thought the question in the first round would be who can tell that this person is not a real director but a fake one."
On the side, Koshimi Nanatsuki lowered his head to look at Hiroo Tsutsumi who was sitting on the ground, with a playful look in his eyes and said with a smile.
"Eh?" As soon as Tsutsuo Hiroshi said these words, cold sweat flowed down his forehead. He retorted guiltily: "You, what are you talking about? I really..."
"Uncle, please stop pretending."
Hattori Heiji interrupted Hiroo Tsuchio's words and smiled, raised his chin slightly and pointed at Tokizu Junya aside: "When we were on the ship, do you still remember the "limit" that guy said?
What that actually means is that a lot of unexpected situations occurred while recording, and then the recording continued until past 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. It was really tiring.
As for what the sister said later, "Smile," she meant to help move something away."
Looking at the pale-faced Hiroshi Tsuchio, Hattori Heiji looked at him with amusement and said: "You are not an assistant director who has just debuted. How could you not even know this kind of professional terminology in the industry? What do you mean?
Right, Mr. Director?"
"And it's actually too obvious on you."
Tang Ze nodded at the dark green jacket on the other party and said: "I have been to Rimai Radio Station for interviews several times, and I know a lot about their uniforms. You are fake at first glance, and even children can't be fooled.
"
"In the logo of this Japanese radio station, the swirl pattern of the eyes should be counterclockwise."
Conan followed up with Karasawa's words and said: "It is precisely because of this that the brothers and sisters will know that you are a fake and deliberately say some industry code words to test you."
"Well, as for why we did this, let's wait until the first round is over." Hattori Heiji looked at Tsutsuo Hiroshi who was panicked and speechless, and smiled and let the opponent go for the time being.
"I'm sorry, Xiaosheng, I'll take my leave now."
Seeing Hattori Heiji's surprised expression, Tokijin Junya smiled proudly and said, "Because I have already solved the secret room's technique.
If you don’t believe it, it’s okay for me to demonstrate it to you once.”
"Oh? You are really confident." Bai Ma Tan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but his face was full of doubts.
Koshizui Nanatsuki stared at Tokijin Junya and said, "Do you already know?"
"Then just cover it up and show it to us." Hattori Heiji's face was also full of dissatisfaction.
"Absolutely not allowed on this point." At this moment, Kotani Renzo suddenly stopped him: "If it is demonstrated live, wouldn't other people know what the method is?"
"boring."
At this moment, Karasawa interrupted Kotani Renzo and said: "It's such a boring technique, why don't we do something interesting."
"Wait, please follow the program rules..." Kotani Renzo immediately wanted to stop him after hearing Tangze's words.
"Regulation?"
Tang Ze pointed at Zhi Na, Gu Lian San and the other two said unceremoniously: "The impostors have no right to speak, so you should just stand aside obediently.
There is no filming program at all, I had someone confirm this with Radio Japan before coming here."
"Nani!"
After hearing Tang Ze's words, everyone present turned around and looked at the two of them.
Being scrutinized by so many detectives with sharp eyes, both Koutani Renzo and Tsutsuo Hiroshi broke out in cold sweat unconsciously.
"It's all fake?" Hattori Heiji looked at Karasawa and said angrily: "Since you know, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It is said that when something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so naturally I have to come and have a look." Karasawa looked at Hattori Heiji and said with a smile, "As for why I didn't tell you... you have such a hot-blooded personality, and it's easy to reveal your secrets."
"You guy!" Hattori Heiji clenched his fists with a look of displeasure on his face.
"This is the current situation."
Karasawa looked around at the detectives present and smiled and said: "Don't worry about the journey back. Although there is no signal on this island, I have a locator on me. Ayako will sail to find us soon."
"You are really thoughtful." Tan Baima said in admiration: "You are indeed someone that my father admires.
So what should we do now? The interesting thing you said?"
"Yes, after all, it is a rare opportunity to bring you all together."
Tangze smiled and said: "Although some changes have occurred, how about we continue the competition while the ship is being found? Of course, we will conduct it in other ways."
"It doesn't matter," Hattori Heiji smiled and was the first to agree with Karasawa's words.
"Interesting." Baima said, "I don't care."
"Young students don't have any objections either." Junya Tokijin had the advantage in the first round. His eyes were full of pride: "Anyway, I will definitely be the winner in the end."
"It's possible, but how to do it specifically?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Karasawa curiously and asked, "If we don't use the puzzle they presented, what should we use as the title of the competition?"
“How about using what’s happening now as a title?”
Karasawa looked at the anxious two people, Kotani Renzo and Tsuchio Hiroshi, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:
"Everything happens for a reason. Why don't we reason about why the two of them pretended to be employees of a Japanese radio station and specially led us to this deserted island to participate in some kind of detective competition."
"Oh? This is a good topic." Hattori Heiji agreed: "Compared to those designed cases, I think this kind of incident is more interesting."
"I agree. Solving this mystery is probably what those of us want to do next, so it's a perfect time to use it as a topic." Baima Tan agreed.
"But where should we start now?"
Koshizui Nanatsuki put aside the restless Kotani and the two of them, and said with a smile something that made the two of them feel cold: "The easiest thing is to torture the two of them and find out the truth, right?"
"Hey, don't mess around!"
After hearing what Koshizu Nanatsuki said, Tsuchio Hiroshi seemed to be really afraid of being tortured by them, so he said it like he was pouring beans: "I am just a part-time worker, and I just did this according to the request of the other party when I was entrusted! Really?"
I don’t know anything!!”
"Don't worry, we won't do that." Koshimizu Nanatsuki waved to let the other party calm down: "It's just a joke."
"Huh..." Tsutsuo Hiroshi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and sat slumped on the ground.
"So, where should we start now?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki muttered to himself.
"Let me give you a hint."
Tang Ze smiled when he heard this: "The key word is - lavender."
