Megure Thirteen contacted the forensic investigators and arranged for Sato Miwako to take Tachibana Mitsuki back to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning.
The crime scene was found, the murderer confessed, and the murder weapon and bloody clothes were handed over to the police. After that, there was no room for the detective team to play.
Mumu Shisan told the detective team to prepare the transcript another day and sent the group away from the scene.
The next day, Ike Feichi and Koshizu Nanatsuki went to Poirot Cafe early for breakfast, then picked up the Mori trio and headed to Gunma.
As soon as the car left the Tokyo area, it began to rain heavily. The heavy raindrops hit the roof of the car, making a crackling sound.
All the car windows were closed. Mouri Kogoro, who was sitting in the car, could not smoke. He looked at the gloomy sky outside the car window depressedly, "It's raining so hard, can we still play tennis?"
"When I went out, I called Sonoko and asked. She had already made a reservation for a bowling alley in Gunma that provided food. We went directly there and bowled while waiting for Kyogoku. If we were hungry, we could have lunch directly there.
You don’t have to go out in the rain,” Mao Lilan said with a smile, “The weather forecast says it will stop raining in the afternoon. After the rain stops, we can go to the tennis court in Karuizawa to play tennis!”
Five hours later…
Mao Lilan, Koshikoshi Nanatsuki, and Suzuki Sonoko stood in front of the window of the bowling alley lounge, looking at the dark sky and the non-stop heavy rain outside the window, silent.
Mao Lilan: "..."
Did you say that the rain would stop by the afternoon?
The weather forecast has been so inaccurate lately!
Koshizu Nanatsuki: "..."
She told Xiao Ai last night that "the heavy rain won't last long." Logically speaking, the recent rain was indeed like this. The light rain kept falling, and the heavy rain started pouring soon.
As a result, the rain didn't follow common sense at all. It had lasted for five hours, and it looked like it wouldn't stop for a while.
Suzuki Sonoko: "..."
It's already afternoon, and her tennis date has just come to nothing...
"It's already three o'clock in the afternoon," Sera Masumi saw the three of them looking out the window without saying anything, so he also walked to the window and took a look, "It seems that there is no way to play tennis today."
"Really, I came here just to see those young girls wearing tennis uniforms on the tennis court," Mouri Kogoro walked out with a speechless expression. "Since I can't go to the tennis court, I'm going to get two cans.
Have a beer!”
"Now?" Mao Lilan turned to look at Mao Li Kogoro's back in surprise, and reminded, "We have a dinner party tonight!"
"I know, but I'm not interested in bowling. There's nothing to do here. While you guys are playing, I'll be drinking next to you and waiting for you..." Mouri Kogoro walked out and met Ike who was coming back from the bathroom.
Fei Chi sent an invitation to Chi Fei Chi, "Fei Chi, I'm going to the restaurant to buy beer. Do you want two cans?"
"No," Chi Feichi refused, "I'll wait until we have dinner together in the evening."
"Then I'll buy a beer myself..." Mouri Kogoro waved his hand listlessly and walked along the corridor towards the restaurant.
Mao Lilan quickly arrived at the door of the lounge. Seeing Mao Li Kogoro walking away, she quickly reminded, "Dad, we are going to continue bowling. You can come to the activity room to find us later!"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki, Suzuki Sonoko, Sera Masumi and Conan also arrived at the door. After meeting with Chi Feichi, they went to the activity room together.
As soon as Sera Masumi entered the door, she asked other people if they wanted to compete with her. Seeing Conan walking to the rest area with a look of disgust on his face, he smiled and grabbed Conan, dragging Conan to bowling.
Chi Feichi admired Conan's reluctance for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Sonoko, did you call Kyogoku in the lounge just now?"
"Not yet, I..." Suzuki Sonoko took out her mobile phone, her eyes quickly widened, and she was petrified on the spot.
"What's wrong with you, Yuanzi?" Mao Lilan asked worriedly.
"I..." Suzuki Sonoko came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly, "I was so happy yesterday and today that I forgot to leave a message to Ah Zhen via email saying that we came to the bowling alley."
Koshizui Nanatsuki was stunned for a moment, "In other words... maybe he went to the tennis court?"
"Yes, his flight will arrive in the morning," Suzuki Sonoko looked desperate. "If he arrives at the tennis court at noon and sees that I am not there, will he think that I am letting him go?"
Chi Feichi took out his cell phone and looked at it, "But Kyogoku doesn't seem to have called either."
"Could it be that the flight was delayed?" Suzuki Sonoko immediately cheered up, "If the flight is delayed, A-Zhen might have just arrived at the tennis court, so I'll call him right away!"
Three minutes later, Suzuki Sonoko came back from the phone call and explained the situation to Chi Feichi and others.
"The bad news is that Ah Zhen arrived at the tennis court at noon and waited for me at the tennis court for four hours." Suzuki Sonoko didn't know whether to cry or laugh. "But the good news is that when I apologized, he said he
You are not angry with me, let us wait for him here, he will come to us soon."
"But, since he has already arrived there, why didn't he call you?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked doubtfully, "nor did he call Mr. Chi or Xiaolan..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
(all)
With Kyogoku's sometimes upright character, it's not surprising that he had to wait for four hours.
Maybe Kyogoku was wondering if they were delayed by something, and calling Sonoko would make him look impatient. In the end, his junior would feel that he would be more sincere if he waited patiently, and then he would really
Waited at the tennis court for four hours without even making a phone call.
"He thought we were delayed, and he was worried that calling would make him look like he was rushing us. He also felt that he had nothing else to do, so it didn't matter if he waited a little longer, so he just sat on the tennis court and thought about it.
The opponents we may encounter in this competition are waiting for us to pass," Suzuki Sonoko was dumbfounded and a little moved, "They are just a big fool..."
"If he wasn't an idiot, he would have been angry with you if he waited like this for four hours!" Koshimizu Nanatsuki joked with a smile.
Suzuki Sonoko thought about how stupid she was for forgetting to tell Kyogoku about the meeting place. She blushed a little and started to cause trouble, "What about Brother Chi? What if Sister Nanatsuki asked you to wait for four hours in the rainy tennis court?
, will you wait?”
"Of course it's okay to wait for four hours. I can find other things to do to kill the time while waiting. If that doesn't work, I can run two laps along the tennis court." Chi Feichi paused, "But I will call Yueshui.
"
Suzuki Sonoko: "..."
(;ω;`)
Therefore, Ah Zhen, who didn't even make a call, really looked stupid...
Seeing Suzuki Sonoko's depressed look, Mao Lilan smiled and diverted Suzuki Sonoko's attention, "By the way, Kyogoku is waiting for us at the tennis court. Did you get caught in the rain?"
"He said he was already soaked all over, so he planned to ride a motorcycle over here and change clothes when he got here..." Suzuki Sonoko's attention was indeed focused on Kyogoku Makoto, and she thought about it, "Speaking of this,
I want to go to a nearby shopping mall to buy a set of clothes for Zhen. Sister Nanatsuki, Xiaolan, you can go with me!"
Sera Masumi and Conan completed the best-of-five bowling competition. When they turned around, they found that Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Lilan and Koshimizu Nanatsuki were all gone. Only Ike Feichi and Maori Kogoro were sitting together, each reading information on their mobile phones.
, one person drinks beer and watches others bowling.
Conan looked around and didn't see the figures of Mao Lilan and the others. He walked up to Chi Feichi and asked doubtfully, "Sister Xiaolan and the others have gone out?"
"I went to buy clothes for Kyogoku," Chi Fei explained when he saw Sera Masumi's confused face. "It's Sonoko's boyfriend. He waited at the tennis court for four hours and his clothes were soaked, so Sonoko let him
Xiaolan and Yueshui accompanied her to buy clothes."
Sera Masumi's eyes lit up, "It turns out that the person Sonoko wants to introduce to me today is her boyfriend!"
Conan: "..."

Hey, Sera, don’t you know that today is a party to celebrate Mr. Kyogoku’s return to China?
Also, why did Mr. Kyogoku wait at the tennis court for four hours? Didn’t Sonoko tell Mr. Kyogoku about their visit to the bowling alley?
