After repeatedly confirming with the front desk of the hotel that no one from Japan Radio had reserved a room in the hotel in advance, everyone was in disbelief at the beginning but gradually became less worried later on.
"Sister Ayako...have we been fooled?"
After calming down from the previous confusion, Kazuha looked at Ayako with a worried look on his face: "What should we do now?"
"Conan's phone call can't be reached either. It's probably because there's no signal on the island..." Xiaolan said in a panic.
"It's okay, Xian Yi is still with them, and Xian Yi seems to have anticipated this situation and told me how to deal with it before."
Although Ayako was a little worried, she remembered that Karasawa had told her in advance some matters that would happen in emergencies, so she was not so panicked at the moment.
Since Xian Yi has explained it in advance, it means that the other party has considered this situation and she only needs to do what he said.
"is that so?"
Heye and Xiaolan's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they seemed to see hope again, and their hearts dropped.
"Don't worry, it'll be no problem."
Ayako smiled and said: "Okay, I have contacted people to act according to Xianyi's instructions, and then just trust them.
Don't forget, they are not people we need to worry about. Even if there are any difficulties, they will definitely overcome them on their own.
Even that kid Conan, doesn't he often act as an assistant to Genichi and Detective Mori?
Don't worry, the three of them will be fine."
Heye and Xiaolan nodded heavily when they heard this, but when they looked at the dark sea, their eyes could not help but show worry.
The boundless dark sea in the distance seems to be brewing something terrifying, making people feel uneasy.
.........
The small island wooden house is not far from the pier, and the group of people walked about ten minutes to reach their destination.
After entering the room, Hiroshi Tsutsuo called over Detective Hakuba and all the criminals gathered in the living room and looked at each other.
"Now that everyone is here, let's introduce ourselves first."
"I don't care." The short-haired girl looked at the surroundings thoughtfully and agreed casually.
"But does it really matter?" Tokizu Junya looked at Tsutsuo Hiroshi and asked, "It seems like the camera isn't in place yet, right?"
"Or maybe I didn't see any relevant staff from the TV station at all." Hattori Heiji questioned.
"Ah, regarding this, the artists who the staff will also be responsible for hosting will not arrive until tomorrow according to their schedule."
Tsutsuo Hiroshi looked at everyone and explained with a smile: "I arranged for you to come here earlier."
"All right."
The short-haired girl seemed to accept this argument. She took off her earphones and looked at everyone before introducing herself: "My name is Koshizu Nanatsuki, and I am a senior in high school.
Since my hometown is in Fukuoka, I can be considered a representative of the south.
But so far, I have only solved about a hundred cases, so I can only be considered a novice, so please be merciful."
"My name is Junya Tokizu. Although he was born in Tokyo, he grew up in Hokkaido, so he became a representative of the north."
After Koshizui Nanatsuki introduced himself, Tokizu Junya also began to introduce himself, but although his words were calm, he was inevitably a little proud: "As for the incidents that I have participated in, there are about three hundred incidents.
About 250 of them have been arrested and prosecuted.
Well...it is inevitable that some people will run away or commit suicide after the incident."
"I am Hattori Heiji, a somewhat famous detective in the Kansai area."
When it was Hattori Heiji's turn to introduce himself, it seemed that because the first two people had revealed their records, Hattori Heiji's competitive spirit also came up: "As for the resolved incidents..."
Speaking of this, Hattori Heiji stretched out his hand to count, then scratched his head and smiled: "Well... I haven't counted it since it exceeded 1,000 pieces. I'm sorry."
"You, you said 1,000 pieces?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki seemed to be frightened by the number Hattori Heiji said, and there was obvious astonishment on his face.
On the other hand, Tokijin Junya, although he said things like "It's so scary", the expression on his face was full of disapproval.
"Hey, you have to have a limit when you brag, okay?"
Seeing Hattori Heiji Versailles showing off, Conan, who was standing next to the service reviewer, whispered angrily.
"What I said is true." Hattori Heiji lowered his head and whispered with a smile on his face: "If you include helping to find cats when you were a child."
"I see, you are Hattori Heiji-san."
The white horse detective on the side smiled and said: "I often heard my father mention you and said that you are a very keen detective."
"I just heard Tangze Criminal talk about you. Our backgrounds are surprisingly very similar."
Although Hattori Heiji said this, his expression was full of scrutiny: "But I haven't heard much about you."
"I wonder how many incidents you have solved?" Junya Tokijin asked at the right time.
"Let me think about it... there are about 500 pieces," Baima said after thinking about it.
"What, it's just mine in general." Hattori Heiji said proudly.
"Yes, but this number is basically calculated based on the incidents I solved in Neon Country."
Hakuba Tan faced Hattori Heiji's provocation and said calmly: "After all, I studied in England for a long time, and I only come back to Neon occasionally.
But our grandma always accepts other people’s commissions casually, so she has solved so many incidents without even realizing it.”
"I really didn't expect that the representative from the East would be Hakuba, who is very famous overseas." Junya Tokizu took a step back and came to Koshizui Nanatsuki. He looked at Hakuba and said strangely.
"Well, I thought Touhou must be that Kudo Shinichi." Koshimizu Nanatsuki agreed.
Although their voices were low, they were not deliberately suppressed, so everyone around them heard their discussion.
"That's it!"
After hearing the conversation between Koshizui and Koshimi, Hattori Heiji looked at Hakuba Tan with an unhappy face and said, "That's not you."
"Haha...my grandma asked me to come."
Hakuba Tan was not angry when faced with Hattori Heiji's scrutiny. Instead, he smiled helplessly and said: "Grandma received a call from Director Tsuchio and asked me if I could replace Kudo Shinichi, who couldn't be reached, as the Eastern representative.
.
My grandma felt very sad when she heard the word "replacement", so she cried and begged me to agree to participate in the show.
He also said that everyone must know that I, the white horse, is in the east.
I had no choice but to fly back all the way from the UK."
Speaking of this, the White Horse Detective smiled and looked at Tang Zedao: "Although I said so when I came here, looking at the current situation, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to represent the Eastern Conference in the competition.
Tangze Criminal, I have admired your name for a long time. My father will mention you every once in a while, saying that you successfully prevented another murder case by relying on your foresight and unparalleled keen insight.
He also told me not to be complacent just because of a few achievements, but to learn from you, not just to solve cases that have already occurred, but to kill the cases at their source."
"It's just luck. The White Horse Police Chief is so complimentary."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "If you want to prevent the case, you can only be present when the case happens.
I was just lucky enough to find some clues before the case happened, so I was able to prevent the crime."
"What I didn't expect was that Tang Ze Criminal also came to participate in this show." Baima Tan said with a smile: "I thought it was only high school students."
"Well, I am here to accompany Heiji." Karasawa shrugged and smiled.
"Hmph, what's the point of Detective Koshien? My only target is Karasawa Criminal!" Hattori Heiji snorted with a look of pride on his face, completely ignoring his peers.
"Although it was an unexpected meeting, it can indeed be regarded as an unexpected surprise."
When Tan Wenyan looked at Tang Ze, his eyes also had a hint of exploration and desire to win: "I also want to personally feel the specialness of the person my father praised."
"Similarly, I want to ask my seniors for advice."
"Although I am a novice, I also want to learn more from my seniors."
Junya Tokizu and Nanatsuki Koshizui also expressed their opinions. Although their words were polite, the meaning behind them was the same as that of Heiji.
A pair of eyes focused on Tang Ze and he shook his head helplessly: "Yeah, yeah, I expected this situation from the moment I agreed to Heiji, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Tang Ze looked at everyone and chuckled, then looked at everyone with eyes full of severity and scrutiny: "In short, I accept your challenge. I also want to see if the abilities of the juniors can be promoted to "detectives"
this profession.
Real reasoning is not as easy as playing a "reasoning game".
Every decision and future you make determines the fate and even the lives of those involved in the case.
This is a very serious matter, let me see if you are qualified to shoulder this heavy responsibility!"
As Tang Ze finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became extremely tense for a moment.
Although everyone here except Karasawa is just a high school student, what they have experienced is a world that ordinary people will never be exposed to in their lifetime, so they naturally have their own pride.
The tense atmosphere made Tsutsuo Hiroshi on the side swallow his saliva, and the words he originally wanted to say were stuck in his mouth and he did not dare to continue.
"Don't be so nervous, everyone. Let's get along well with each other outside of the competition."
After glancing at Tsuchio Hiroshi, Karasawa took the lead in ending the tense confrontation with a smile and said: "Since everyone wants to challenge me, there is no such thing as "Detective Koshien", and we will compete openly and openly.
Let’s compete.”
"Just what I wanted." Hattori Heiji was full of enthusiasm.
"That's great. I don't want to act like an enemy." Koshimizu Nanatsuki patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Karasawa's words: "Then I'll go back to the room first. I'm tired from the boat ride.
Dead people."
"Xiaosheng, I hope you can have dinner." Junya Tokatsu asked, stroking his chest and making a request to Tsutsuo Hiroshi.
"Ah, look, it's already dinner time."
Tsuchio Hiroshi breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the atmosphere relaxed. After hearing what the two said, he smiled and said: "Everyone, please take a rest first. Mr. Kotani is already preparing dinner. I will call him when it is ready."
Yours.
In addition, I told you in advance on the phone that I would like you to prepare a photogenic costume with a "Detective Koshien" style, right?
Although the theme of the program needs to be changed due to Karasawa Criminal's participation, the identities of the high school students are also a highlight, so the costumes should just stick to the original requirements.
I want to see the effect in advance tonight, so please wait until you have dinner to change it first.
As for Tangze Criminal, just keep it like this, after all, the suit has a very criminal feel."
After hearing this, everyone nodded to express their understanding, and immediately went back to the room assigned by Tsuchio Guangsheng.
Because Karasawa was invited by Hattori Heiji, it was not part of the plan, and Hakuba checked into Kudo Shinichi's room in the east, so Tsuchio Hiroo gave his room to Karasawa and planned to sleep in the same room with Mr. Kotani.
.
Karasawa first went to the room to look around, and then went to Hattori and his wife's room.
"I thought you would prepare some clothes with a "Detective Koshien" flavor."
After entering the room and seeing Hattori Heiji's change of clothes, Karasawa said speechlessly: "Isn't this your school uniform?"
"I can't help it. School uniforms are the most suitable." Hattori Heiji said helplessly: "I usually wear them when I go to school and attend funerals."
"Let's go after packing up." Karasawa stood at the door and said, "Just now I saw Mr. Kotani knocking on Tokatsuya's door to ask him to eat."
The three of them walked together toward the outer door. At this moment, Kageya Renzo had already called out the two boys in Hakuba. After meeting with them, they walked towards the restaurant under the leadership of Kageya Renzo.
While in the corridor, Hattori Heiji looked at the surrounding environment and said: "This wooden house is quite old. It seems that many places around it have been repaired. Whose house is this?"
"I don't know. I heard that it was built by a rich man, but I didn't plan to live there anymore, so I rented out this mansion at a cheap price." Jia Gu Rensan explained after hearing this.
"By the way, has that girl gone to the restaurant?" Junya Tokizu asked while looking at the surrounding environment.
"Not yet, I'm just planning to call her."
As Kotani Renzo said, he stopped in front of a room and knocked on the door. Hattori Heiji on the side had a look of astonishment after hearing what the two said: "Girl? There is a girl coming to this island with us.
?"
"Of course, you have been with us before." Tokijin Junya said with a smile.
As the words fell, the door to the room opened, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who was dressed completely differently from before, walked out of the room.
