Faced with the sudden invitation from Detective White Horse, Aso was a little at a loss.
"Are you...inviting me?"
Aso Minoru pointed at his nose and asked again.
Baima Tan nodded and confirmed: "Yes, I am inviting you."
And Aso Minoru was still a little resistant to this clueless invitation. After all, he was not such a casual man...
Aso Minoru turned to look at Qin Zhibo next to him, with a look of help in his eyes.
Detective Baima saw all this in his eyes, had already anticipated it in his heart, and had corresponding words to deal with it.
"Actually, Mr. Qin will also attend the gem show on weekends. I have already invited Mr. Qin..."
After hearing this, Aso relaxed his guard.
"In that case, I will..."
As soon as Aso Minoru was about to agree, Qin Zhibo refused in a deep voice: "You can't go."
The atmosphere at the scene solidified in an instant and developed in a weird direction.
Seeing the firmness in Qin Zhibo's eyes, Aso Minoru turned around and declined the White Horse Detective's invitation.
"Sorry, I have something to do that day and can't attend the gem show..."
Regarding this rejection, Bai Ma Tan was not discouraged, but looked completely confident and confident.
"It's okay, let's go have breakfast together..."
The three of them left together, and at this moment, the door of another room slowly opened a crack, and two heads, one tall and one short, slowly poked out.
The entire process just now was actually captured by Conan and Mao Lilan.
"I didn't expect that the white horse detective actually liked someone older than him, and even in front of Mr. Qin..."
Mao Lilan, who was afraid of teaching Conan bad things, was embarrassed to say that word, but it was nothing more than ntr in person.
In Mao Lilan's understanding, Qin Zhibo and Dr. Cheng Shi were a couple. The two people lived together on the first day they met on Yueying Island.
Conan, on the other hand, showed helpless half-moon eyes at the Shura field just now.
Obviously, the reputation of White Horse Detective has declined in the minds of the two of them.
...
During breakfast, the hotel owner did not show up, and the waitress brought some food to entertain everyone.
Qin Zhibo, who was holding the white rice, looked at the White Horse Detective across from him, knowing that the White Horse Detective must have grasped some situation before he suddenly invited Aso Minoru to attend the weekend gem show.
Qin Zhibo helped Aso Minoru reject the White Horse Detective, not for any other reason, but because in his plan to capture the spider, Aso Minoru was not assigned a position.
If Aso Minori suddenly joins, not only will his plans be disrupted, but Aso Minori will also be put in danger.
On the other side, Hakuba Tan, who was holding the miso soup, looked at Aso Minoru who was eating in a daze.
I do have an Adam's apple.
But so small...
After Hakuba Tan confirmed it with his own eyes, he saw Aso's Adam's apple.
However, both men and women actually have Adam's apple, but women's Adam's apple is very small.
If it hadn't been confirmed in the file, it would be hard for Detective Baima to believe that he was a cross-dressing man.
As expected of Kaitou Kidd’s assistant!
At this time, Mao Lilan and Conan on the other side were still quietly observing the triangular relationship between Qin Zhibo - Dr. Cheng Shi - Baima Tan.
Qin Zhibo stared at the white horse...
Detective Baima stared at Dr. Chengshi...
Dr. Cheng Shi stared at the rice...
It's a bit dangerous to go on like this...
Gu Hui/span In the eyes of Mao Lilan, who usually watches romantic dramas, Qin Zhibo and Baima Tan are in a relationship of competitors.
To break this relationship, Aso, who is the target of competition, can only take the initiative to tell the person he likes, so...
Doctor Sung-shi! Stop working! Be aware of it quickly!
Boldly say that the person you like is Mr. Qin!
In the eyes of Conan, who often watches mystery and suspense dramas, the competitive relationship between Qin Zhibo and Detective White Horse can be the beginning of a murder case.
Could it be that the victim this time is either Detective Baima or Qin Zhibo?
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured!
It seems that we must be optimistic about them today, in case they make some drastic moves...
...
After breakfast, everyone went back to their rooms to work on the 1000 Questions of Sherlock Holmes that they had not finished last night.
Around lunch time, everyone had basically completed the questionnaire.
According to the procedure, it was time to hand in papers in the evening, so everyone started gathering in the living room to pass the time.
Mao Lilan and Conan originally wanted to go out for a walk and relax, but due to various thoughts during breakfast, they decided to sit in the living room and pass the time with everyone.
Before I knew it, it was after dinner, and the boss still didn’t show up.
The hotel owner who had not shown up for a day aroused Qin Zhibo's alert.
"The hotel owner has been missing all day. Could it be that something happened?"
Qin Zhibo's words sparked a discussion. Although the waitress said that the hotel owner had left all the hotel's affairs to her last night, everyone decided to search the hotel first.
Only college student Kento Toba insisted on staying in the living room with his girlfriend, saying that he would wait here until his boss came back.
The two rooms on the second floor of the hotel are the hotel owner's rooms, which are the study room and the bedroom.
No one answered the knocks in the two rooms, so the waitress took the spare key at Qin Zhibo's request and opened the study door first.
Pushing open the study door, everyone rushed in.
But there are no objects such as corpses in the room at a glance, only a dazzling array of books.
The entire bookshelf against the right wall is filled with Sherlock Holmes detective books in various editions.
"Wow! What a rich collection!"
Sherlock Holmes fans excitedly walked to the bookshelf and looked at each book, as if they had forgotten that finding the innkeeper was the purpose.
But Qin Zhibo himself was also standing in front of the bookshelf, searching for Sherlock Holmes books.
Yesterday, the innkeeper revealed to everyone the first edition of his treasured book "A Study in Scarlet". Judging from the bling in everyone's eyes at that time, we knew how attractive this book was to Sherlock Holmes fans.
If the innkeeper had been killed, that book might be the motive.
But after searching the bookshelf, Qin Zhibo did not find the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet".
But in the corner of the bookshelf, Qin Zhibo found another unexpected book.
On the spine is written "A Study of Green Letters".
"this is..."
Somewhat curious, Qin Zhibo reached out and pulled out this slightly thin book from the bookshelf, and suddenly saw the author on the cover.
"Research on Green Characters" - Author: Hiroyuki Kanaya
Qin Zhibo knew that Hiroyuki Kanaya was the name of the hotel owner.
Does this hotel owner still write books part-time?
At this moment, Toshiaki Fujizawa came over and looked at the green cover with some nostalgia.
"This book is adapted by Mr. Kanaya based on the original work "A Study in Scarlet", and I am responsible for publishing it..."
"This is definitely a unique piece of Sherlock Holmes fan fiction."
