I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I got a call from Dr. Ali early in the morning.
"Conan, do you want to go to Izu for a while?"
Conan was stunned, "Eh? Izu?!"
Conan's voice attracted the attention of Xiao Ran and Mouri Kogoro who were having breakfast. Shirai Ku, who was forced to eat breakfast, also took the opportunity to put down his bowl and chopsticks and also looked at Conan.
"That's right!" Dr. Agasa's voice on the phone was so clear in the quiet office, "Not only can you stay in a big hotel in Izu for three days and two nights, but the accommodation fee is also comprehensive!"
After hearing this, Xiaolan immediately became happy and said, "Okay!"
Mouri Kogoro also said at this time: "It's free anyway, so if you don't go, it's for nothing!"
Izu...grand hotel...free stay for three days and two nights...
Shiraijiu thought about it and immediately understood what the activity was.
"Recently, it is very popular for people in the academic community to use computer networks to communicate, and one of my friends learned about this interesting activity in an online discussion forum, so he invited me to participate." A Li The doctor's explanation also sounded simultaneously: "The name of this event is [Izu Secret Journey]."
“I formed a team of three with him and his granddaughter, and immediately signed up online, and I was lucky enough to be selected on the spot!”
"But unfortunately, his granddaughter fell seriously ill a few days ago, so I think I can only give this opportunity to you..."
Conan was stunned, "But there are four of us here..."
"Yes..." Dr. A Li was stunned, "Then... while you are out, Xiaojiu can come to my place..."
Shiraijiu, who has both ears and eyesight:...
Good guy, I feel biased.
"How can this be possible..." Conan turned to look at Shirai Jiu with a look of reluctance, "This is so unfair to Shirai! We might as well not go!"
Dr. A Li thought the same thing and looked regretful, "That's fine... It's just a pity that these three places are available..."
"No, you go ahead." Shiraijiu's voice suddenly rang on their phone, making both of them stunned. Conan subconsciously looked back at Shiraijiu.
Behind her, Bai Jingjiu was sitting at the dining table, looking at him expressionlessly, tilting her head and talking to a green gem-shaped pin on her collar, "I can go there at my own expense."
Shiraijiu's words were synchronized on the phone.
Dr. A Li was shocked, "Can three people talk on the phone at the same time? How did you do it at this time?"
The smart Conan immediately realized that Shiraijiu probably did something to the phone call, but we will talk about it later, "Isn't this bad? There are obviously four people, but you are the only one spending money."
"It doesn't matter. Wasting the parents' money is also what I want to do. Not to mention..." Shiraijiu looked back at the father and daughter who were talking enthusiastically about the preparations needed to go to Izu, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth. , “How can I be the spoiler?”
Conan followed Shiraijiu's gaze and looked at the happy father and daughter, and he was immediately unable to speak out his objections.
"However." Seeing Conan's unbearable and uneasy look, Shiraiji poured cold water on him at the right time, "How can there be a truly free lunch in the world? I want to stay in a big hotel in Izu for three days and two nights for free. It’s also conditional, right?”
After being reminded, Dr. Ali temporarily gave up studying his phone and continued to explain the rules of the event to Conan: "Yes. There are ten participants in this event, divided into six groups, and the accommodation fee is half price. However, if you can find it, The event organizer who hangs out among these ten people will not only be free of charge, but will also get a disk filled with the software program."
"Ah, but that software probably won't be of any use to you..."
Magnetic disk...
Shirai Ku and Shirai Sou, who was in Izu at this time, immediately understood the reason why Shirai Koumi still stayed in Izu until now.
He just said that even if he had the intention of relaxing and escaping from Shirley, it would not be Shirai Kobi's style to really stay in Izu doing nothing, let alone Gin's style.
Conan curled his lips, "Then, how can we find out the mysterious organizer?"
"Oh, I heard that the organizer will dress up as a certain person and cause certain events during these three days and two nights, so that you contestants can find clues and deduce the true identity..."
"Someone?"
"Yes." Dr. Ali showed a very confident expression, "That's why I said that this event is completely free for you, Shinichi. Because I heard that the character the organizer wants to play is a character in the novel."
Hearing this, Bai Jingjiu guessed, "Ah, could it be..."
"Yes, that is the character written by Kudo Yusaku, the Night Baron."
"Eh?!"
"really……"
…
Izu, private beach.
Shirai Yui closed his hands and then separated them. He told the two little girls in front of him that the performance was over. He turned around and walked into the Izu Princess Hotel. He got on the elevator and reached the 16th floor. When he walked out, he saw that there was no one there. Walking in the corridor, he finally stopped in front of the door of a certain room, raised his hand, and knocked lightly three times.
"Dong dong dong"
After a moment of silence, a young man wearing a black priest's robe opened his face and looked at Shirai Sang expressionlessly.
Huh? This person...?
Shirai Qusheng's originally vigilant heart relaxed.
This person... has a special feeling for him, just like facing Xiao Jiu...
Shirai Qusheng tries to understand this special feeling.
Facing the "eldest son" who looked like a young man, Shirai Shang smiled, his eyes soft: "Hello, my name is... Shirai Sang."
Shirai…
Shirai Qusheng looked at this uncle who was obviously in his thirties, and his mind was slightly confused - at what age did the old father of the Shirai family start hanging out with women? How come there are children at such an old age? Too much Are you ripening early?
As if he had seen through Shirai Qusheng's thoughts, Shirai Sang explained unhurriedly: "Well, I should be considered your cousin."
oh!
Shirai Qusheng understood, understood, breathed a sigh of relief, and his chaotic mind became much clearer.
But why does it feel like facing your own sister Xiaojiu?
Shirai's smile remained unchanged, and he conjured a playing card out of thin air and handed it to Shirai Qusheng, "As you can see, I am also the child of the Shirai family who has problems."
Shirai Qusheng suddenly understood, now he completely understood.
But there is actually still a little question in my heart——
Why does this watertight, similar behavior of making up stories and supplementing settings feel a bit familiar?
Shirai Sho looked at Shirai Kosheng lovingly.
Of course this is your real father. I'm in Shiraizu's shell right now, my stupid son.
