Seeing that the focus of the conversation among several people was on himself, Conan quickly changed the topic in a childlike tone: "Ms. Yuan is a detective novel fan who is as good as Shinichi's brother!"
Yuan Huaiyu glanced at him playfully, but did not deny it.
"Pah! Pah!"
The owner of the hotel, Hiroyuki Kanaya, clapped his hands, and after everyone in the hall quieted down, he said loudly:
"Now that everyone is here, let me explain the itinerary for the past few days."
He cleared his throat and said: "It's getting late today. Please go back to your room and rest! Starting tomorrow, we will have breakfast at nine in the morning, lunch at one o'clock, and dinner at eight."
"After dinner is the highlight of the year - super difficult reasoning quiz!"
He raised his voice an octave higher: "Those who get perfect scores can get——"
He stepped aside and let everyone see the thick book in the hand of the hotel maid Hitomi Iwai.
"Sherlock Holmes first appeared, Conan Doyle's famous work!"
"The first edition of A Study in Scarlet!"
His expression was full of pride and show off.
"Wow!" All Sherlock Holmes fans exclaimed, looking at the book with eyes full of longing and longing.
As Sherlock Holmes's first appearance, his first encounter with Dr. Watson, and his introduction to the background of Baker Street, the first edition of this book is a priceless treasure for them.
The hotel owner seemed very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He said seriously:
"But before that, I would like to ask you to prove how much you admire Sherlock Holmes."
"Proof?" Ogi Ayako, a member of the University Reasoning Club, raised her eyebrows.
Hiroyuki Kanaya explained: "What the waitress is giving you now is Sherlock Holmes's Thousand Questions!"
Iwai Hitomi was seen holding several stacks of bound papers in her hands, distributing them to everyone present.
"A thousand questions?" the astrologer Maria Toda repeated doubtfully.
"The payment deadline is before tomorrow's dinner." Hiroyuki Kanaya raised his eyebrows, "And only those with a total score of 990 or above can participate in the reasoning question and answer after the dinner."
"What if I can't get more than 990 points?" station attendant Toshiaki Fujisawa asked.
"Humph, of course..."
Hiroyuki Kanaya gathered some momentum, and then shouted: "Get out of my hotel immediately!"
"Because such an unworthy person has no right to stay here!"
"Ah?" everyone exclaimed again, especially Kogoro Mouri.
Uncle Maoli pointed to his nose and asked: "Hey! Do I also have to take this test?"
"No, you are a special guest. You just need to give a speech at the end." Hiroyuki Kanaya said hurriedly.
He added: "For the sake of caution, I would like to ask you to hand your mobile phone and reference books to the waitress immediately. We don't want anyone to call to ask others or cheat."
"It doesn't matter even if you don't hand it over, because there are cameras and bugs everywhere in the room monitoring everyone. Anyone who cheats will be dealt with zero points!"
Hiroyuki Kanaya had a proud smirk on his face.
After everyone got their own thick questionnaire and handed in their mobile phones and information, Hiroyuki Kanaya motioned for everyone to leave and return to their respective rooms.
The Shinigami primary school student who was ambitious for the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet" also received a questionnaire.
"Then I'll go back and rest first. If I don't go to bed on time, I will be very uncomfortable." Yuan Huaiyu said while waving goodbye to several people.
He glanced at Conan, and then said to Xiaolan: "Miss Xiaolan, please supervise Edogawa-san to go to bed early! Children are growing up, so they cannot stay up late."
"Okay, Teacher Yuan." Xiaolan nodded firmly.
The smile on Conan's face froze. He was about to burn the midnight oil to complete this questionnaire as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that the idea was killed before it could be implemented.
If he hadn't known that Teacher Yuan would definitely not regard him as a rival in the competition for "A Study in Scarlet", he would have suspected that Yuan Huaiyu did it on purpose.
Hattori Heiji also returned to the room without interest. He came to this party mainly to find Kudo Shinichi, but since he didn't meet him, he was not in the mood to do the questions.
A night of silence.
That's weird.
"Does anyone really think that they can spend a peaceful night without incident when a Shinigami elementary school student and an Osaka black chicken are present at the same time?"
Yuan Huaiyu opened the bag he carried with him and took out a diary. The number [100] was written on the cover of the diary.
He opened the diary with a bitter look on his face and muttered to himself: "What a mistake. I should have thought of it when I was preparing the diary. This hundredth diary is not enough to write..."
After all, the time pattern in Ke Xue's world has become a mess. This year actually contains about the same number of days as a normal ten years.
He picked up his pen and started writing.
[Today I met the comedian Osaka Kuroji.]
[The real person is darker than I imagined. It reminds me of a joke I heard a long time ago. 】
[I am a high school detective, Heiji Hattori. One day, when I was playing in the amusement park with my childhood sweetheart Toyama Kazuha, I witnessed the mysterious transaction of the black organization. At that time, I was only peeking, but I didn’t expect that another member was already behind me.
, because I was too dark, he didn’t even see me! So I took the opportunity to notify the police to take them down, and finally annihilated the black organization in one fell swoop. The whole play ends.]
Yuan Huaiyu had an unconcealable smile on his face.
[Tonight, the poor hotel owner will be killed and become a tool for the murderer to set up a trap and forge an alibi. ]
[But I can't interfere. Otherwise, the collision between Shinichi and Heiji in the subsequent case will not happen, and it is very likely that Hattori Heiji will not be able to see through the fact that Conan is Shinichi.]
[This is a huge main line content, and rash intervention will cause unpredictable consequences. 】
【So, innkeeper, rest in peace.】
【I will point out the murderer and help you get revenge.】
Yuan Huaiyu paused at the tip of his pen and sighed.
[It’s just that I still have to take this opportunity to try to explore some of the deeper laws of the world of science.]
【Proceed with caution.】
Yuan Huaiyu closed the diary, locked it and put it back in his bag.
His eyes caught the stack of test papers that he had casually placed on the table.
He laughed dumbly, took the test paper and put it in front of him, picked up the pen and started writing.
"Before going to bed, it's also good to stretch your brain."
In the backpack beside him, a book with a sense of history revealed a corner of its title.
【A Study...】
No one would have thought that in Yuan Huaiyu's backpack, there was also a first edition of "A Study of Letters in Scarlet".
