In this way, the case at the Sherlock Holmes fan gathering finally came to an end.
Toju Kento confessed the fact that he killed the hotel owner Hiroyuki Kanetani, and admitted the idea of killing his girlfriend Ayako Oki and the station attendant Toshiaki Fujisawa.
Later, everyone also found the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet Letters" in Toshikento's room.
The truth comes out.
"Okay, now it's clear." Mouri Kogoro bowed deeply to Yuan Huaiyu, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Yuan, for mistaking you for the murderer before."
"It's okay." Yuan Huaiyu shook his head and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
He explained: "When I was sleeping in the room, I heard the sound of an explosion. Later, I saw you guys returned to the hotel. I was going to come down and join everyone, but when I was going down the stairs, I heard Toju Ken and her
Girlfriend conversation.”
"I heard them saying that someone died, and it was someone from Toshiken who did it, so I hid quietly in the dark and listened to their conversation."
"Then I heard him tell Miss Omu that the first edition of the book was hidden in the garage and asked her to get it by herself."
"I thought that if Miss Omu wanted to protect the criminal, I must at least be able to be a witness to their transaction, so I secretly followed Miss Omu to the garage, hoping to catch him."
"What I didn't expect was that this woman wanted the book even for her own life. She didn't even smell the strong smell of gasoline and almost started a fire, killing me as well."
Yuan Huaiyu took a deep look at Omu Lingzi, whose face was turning green and red.
"You all know what happened next. Miss Omu and I came in together and exposed Tojukento's tricks."
He took out a mobile phone from his pocket.
"Eh? Mr. Yuan, didn't you submit your mobile phone?" Conan looked at him doubtfully and asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
Yuan Huaiyu shook his head: "No. There are many important things in my phone. It would be bad if I lose them."
"Besides, the purpose of my coming here is to have a good gathering and chat with fellow Sherlock Holmes fans. As for the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet," I'm really not very interested. I already have a copy of the same book.
That so-called screening is dispensable to me. So it doesn’t matter whether I hand over my mobile phone and information or not.”
At this time, everyone remembered that Yuan Huaiyu's bag contained a first edition of "A Study of Letters in Scarlet", which was exactly the same as the one that Hu Shiyan had hidden in his room.
This book has also become an important reason why most people previously judged Yuan Huaiyu to be the murderer of the book collector.
Yuan Huaiyu opened his bag, took out the book in his bag, and said: "Our family all likes Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes. This is a collection we keep at home. I thought there would be some at this party.
There are so many Sherlock Holmes fans, so I brought him here."
"Wow -" Conan exclaimed, "Teacher Yuan, can you lend it to me?"
It is definitely impossible to get hold of the "A Study in Scarlet" that originally belonged to Hiroyuki Kanaya. After all, it is one of the exhibits involved in the case.
Now he just wants to borrow Mr. Yuan's book, appreciate it, play with it for a while, and replenish some Sherlock Holmes energy.
But Yuan Huaiyu's next words completely stunned him.
"Yes. If you like it, the teacher will give it to you." Yuan Huaiyu said surprisingly, "I heard from Miss Xiaolan that you have been helping the teacher just now, so this book will be used as a thank you gift.
Bar."
He picked up the book and thrust it into Conan's arms.
Conan held the book and felt the envious eyes of the adults around him. He was a little at a loss: "Really? This is too expensive..."
"Of course. I think trust and help between people are more precious than dead things like books."
Yuan Huaiyu smiled brightly: "It just so happens that your name is the same as its author. You should keep it well! Little Conan!"
"Yeah!" When Conan heard what he said, he stopped being pretentious and nodded seriously.
【Teacher Yuan is really one of the best people I have ever met!】
Kudo Shinichi silently labeled Yuanhuaiyu in his heart.
Afterwards, through Yuan Huaiyu's mobile phone, everyone contacted the police, and sent the perpetrator Toju Kento and Oki Ayako, who had wanted to protect him, into the police car. Then, the Sherlock Holmes fans also left one after another and returned to various parts of Japan.
At the bus stop, Hattori Heiji pulled Conan aside and looked into his eyes through his glasses.
"Are you Kudo?" Hattori Heiji had actually confirmed that this little boy was Kudo Shinichi, but he still wanted to hear his own admission.
"Huh? Brother Heiji, what are you talking about..." Conan didn't expect that the other party would reveal his true identity right away, and he tried to quibble with a cold sweat on his face.
"Stop pretending." Hattori Heiji interrupted him impatiently.
He pressed forward step by step: "Whether it is the demeanor or the keen intuition at the crime scene, it is impossible for a first-grade primary school student to be able to do it. I have carefully observed that if you ignore the physical problem, you and
The Kudo Shinichi I met last time is basically the same! You are Kudo!"
"But you see clearly! I am a child!" Conan struggled in vain.
"Okay, then I'll tell the lady over there, what do you think?" Hattori pointed to Mao Lilan on the other side.
"Okay! I'm a child anyway." He was still arrogant.
Hattori stood up immediately, took Xiaolan's arm, and said in a voice that Conan could hear: "Hey, listen to me. This is it..."
"Wait a moment!"
…
Sitting on the bus home, Hattori Heiji looked at Conan as if he were a rare animal.
"Take medicine and become smaller? So you hide in the house of the girl you like and wait for an opportunity to investigate the organization?"
"I don't like that troublesome girl!" Conan denied.
[Really, how come everyone has decided that I like that guy, including Hattori, and so did the previous Mr. Gen...]
Wanting to go to Yuan Huaiyu, he took out the book "A Study of Letters in Scarlet" given to him by Yuan Huaiyu from his backpack.
He was in such a hurry before that he didn't have time to take a good look at this masterpiece of the birth of Sherlock Holmes.
Opening the cover, his movements suddenly stopped.
"this……"
Kudo Shinichi felt his elementary school student's head was buzzing. He opened his mouth wide, as if he saw some monster.
"Huh? What's wrong with you, Kudo?"
Hattori, who was sitting next to him, quickly realized something was wrong. He looked at the book Conan was holding, and his eyes suddenly froze.
I saw the title of the book on the title page, with a few words written in the author's name -
[Before I met you, I never thought that there really was a character like Sherlock Holmes in this world.]
[Yuan, my dear friend, I wish you can realize your wish as soon as possible. 】
