Go upstairs, unlock, search, reason.

Ye Gengyi spent a total of 3 minutes.

When he came back, Yamamura Cao was still questioning the three suspects at the front desk of the hotel.

"Brother Gengyi, none of the three of them have alibi..."

Suzuki Sonoko walked over and lowered her voice: "I think the man wearing the nose ring looks suspicious. He must not know Chinese characters, so the deceased only provided his katakana!"

Is it a crime to be ugly? Fortunately, I will never break this law in my life...

Ye Gengyi shook his head slightly and said: "In the hotel guest registration book, when he wrote his name, he used Chinese characters."

"Yes, so the foreigner is the one who is suspicious."

Suzuki Sonoko changed the target without any position, "I remember that the name he left on the registration book was in English, and he spoke with a weird accent. Maybe he could only understand some hiragana or katakana.

"

As expected of the queen of reasoning favored by the little detective, she directly eliminated two suspects...

Ye Gengyi remained silent and did not answer.

Now that the suspicion of Tatsuzo Watanuki has been raised will only speed up the arrest of this cadre of the Mud Council.

You can wait until you figure out whether 'that' thing that you don't know what it is yet actually exists.

"Please! Officer, do you know what time it is now? I usually go to bed very early!"

At this time, the curly-haired man with a nose ring and a somewhat grumpy temper yelled again.

"What time? By the way! The TV series is being replayed right now!"

Yamamura Soo subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall, and suddenly remembered that the suspect was probably a fan of "Winter Maple Red", and asked instead:

"Do any of you like to watch the TV series "Winter Maple Red"?"

"What is that?"

"Never heard of that..."

"Winter? Don't all the maple leaves fall off when winter comes?"

The three of them shook their heads in unison with a confused attitude.

"Ah! You don't know but deliberately pretend not to know, right? But that's useless!"

Yamamura Soo took out the portable TV in his arms and adjusted it to the corresponding channel while analyzing confidently:

"If you are a loyal movie fan, when you see the opening song, you can't help but express your desire to see it... Hum, you are about to start singing along!"

As he spoke, he also turned the volume of the portable TV to maximum.

Then, the host's excited commentary came from the speaker of the portable TV.

[The competition that everyone is looking forward to is finally about to officially begin - the European Karate Championship Championship! In addition... "Winter Maple Red" originally scheduled to be broadcast tonight will be suspended...]

"No, it can't be."

Yamamura Cao seemed to have been hit by something, and his whole body shook.

Seeing his silly look, the curly-haired man with a nose ring and a somewhat grumpy temper became even more dissatisfied:

"Hey, do you want us to watch karate?"

"Uh, no..."

Shan Cuncao's face was full of depression.

He specially brought this portable TV with him so that he could watch "Maple Red in Winter" and planned to watch the show with pay while working.

"What, it's really disappointing."

With that said, he was about to turn off the power of the portable TV.

[Anyway, the focus of this competition is only him, the man with a 400-game winning streak and no defeat, who is known as the "Kicking Prince"——Kyogoku Makoto! 】

On the loudspeaker, the host was still playing a long tone deliberately to create an atmosphere.

But on Suzuki Sonoko's side, as soon as she said the adjective "four hundred games without defeat", she snatched the portable TV from Yamamura's hand and started watching it.

"It's Ah Zhen! It's indeed Ah Zhen!"

"Huh?"

Mao Lilan looked at her best friend's excited expression and asked doubtfully: "Sonoko, didn't you hear Kyogoku say that he will participate in this competition?"

"No."

Suzuki Sonoko shook her head, imitating Kyogoku's tone when she made a phone call, and said:

"Rather than let you see me losing the game, I would rather commit suicide by committing seppuku! He said this..."

"Seppuku?!"

Just now, Mao Lilan was still muttering in her mind, why Kyogoku, like Shinichi, always looked mysterious while doing what he liked to do, was immediately shocked when he heard Suzuki Sonoko's explanation.

.

Will that person really lose? Conan cursed from the side.

Speaking of which, even though Brother Genichi doesn't usually take action, I remember hearing Xiaolan mention that he seemed to have had a serious fight with Kyogoku once.

I don’t know who is more powerful if both of them try their best.

Thinking about it, Conan subconsciously looked to the side, but his sight was empty again.

Where did it go again?

He was startled for a moment, and quickly looked around the entire hotel lobby. He soon saw the familiar figure next to Yamamura Cao and a police officer, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew, Brother Gengyi’s lack of sound when walking is also a problem. I’m really worried that if this continues, he will accidentally hear my secret...

Huh? Wait a minute, what kind of list is that?

Conan stopped his divergent thoughts, his eyes fell on a piece of paper that several people were looking at, and he hurriedly moved over.

"The Yamacun Police Department is really sorry. When I contacted the TV station, all the regular employees had already got off work, and there was only one working-study student left working overtime in the company..."

The police officer responsible for investigating the art director Mikoto explained helplessly:

"Because the other party didn't recognize all the staff in the TV station, I had to ask him to send the list via fax machine, but there didn't seem to be anyone named Mikami on it."

"No, no, no...how could it be, really not."

Yamamuracao frowned, checked line by line several times, and finally looked at the police officer and said:

"Is there really anything wrong with this list? I won't say anything else. Look at why there are two dates at the bottom. Today is October 15th. Is this August 1st an entry error?"

"Police department, I don't know about this..." The police officer smiled dryly.

"It's really nerve-wracking." Yamamura shook his head and sighed.

It turned out that this was what the death message was about... Ye Gengyi looked away from the list.

Although it was determined that Tatsuzo Watanuki was the murderer, it was only when he saw August 1st that he understood what the death message on April 1st was about.

ホジミ

The Roman pronunciation of hodumi means the first day of August, which means ‘picking’.

The message left by the deceased before his death was the same as the watanuki, whose surname was "watanuki", which means "watanuki", which means "watanuki".

It seems that the little detective has guessed it, but he may not have grasped the motive of Watanuki Chenzo's murder...

Ye Gengyi observed Conan's expression and lost his original sense of expectation as to whether the answer to this case could be a 'medium'.

Buzz~buzz…

Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by the vibration of his cell phone.

No encrypted call transferred, not an organization.

Thinking about it, Ye Gengyi took it out and looked at the number on it.

【Kyogoku Makoto.】

"Hello?"

"Teacher Ye..."

Kyogoku spoke in a very low voice, "Sonoko isn't next to you now, is she?"

"Hold on."

Ye Gengyi took a few steps towards the window seat, observing the situation outside the store, and said, "Tell me."
