A week later, Izu Princess Hotel private beach.
Gao Cheng is lying on the beach chair in his shorts, looking around under his sunglasses.
Under the cloudless clear sky, occasionally a sea breeze blows, rolling up the heat wave. The heat is a little hot, but it's just right. In this summer vacation, people are everywhere on the beach, and there are many young ladies in bikini. They all come here to travel to relieve the heat.
Gao Cheng's eyes follow a little sister passing by and fall on the girls in swimming suits who are playing in the sea. The splashing of water makes the swimsuits tight
"Oh, I'm in good shape. I didn't make a mistake this time!" All of a sudden, a familiar uncle's voice rang out beside Gao Cheng. With a jump of his brow, he looked back with a bad feeling. As expected, he saw Maori Kogoro's face.
Since this guy is here, then
Gao Cheng continued to look around with a black face, and soon saw maolilan holding Conan on the other side. Maolilan in blue swimsuit was fair skinned, had a capital figure, and could see Conan's face was red.
"This kid..."
I'm in a bad mood all of a sudden. Why can I meet this guy every time? If I have a rare holiday, it's going to be ruined again. If I travel next time, can I only go to Hokkaido?
While Maori Kogoro and his party didn't notice themselves, Gao Cheng carefully collected his things, pretended not to know him and quickly left the beach.
In the hotel lobby, Gao Cheng checks in at the front desk while waiting for the rest of the group.
He also received everyone's list and room number as well as others.
There are 11 people in seven groups, including him. Two doctors in one group actually have Dr. Ali. As for the others, they are either programmers, or presidents or investors of software companies, as well as math teachers... Generally speaking, he is more likely to find out the sponsor, dark night Duke.
Reasoning can't be made up by observation. What he lacks is the reasoning ability to sort out complicated clues like Conan, so that he can't find anyone.
A man wearing gold glasses holding a computer came to one side, the thin half of his face was covered by bangs, looking a little gloomy.
"Are you the Duke of the night?" The man suddenly asked.
"What?"
Gao Cheng looks at the man suspiciously, glances over the computer, opens the stopwatch timing program: "are you also a tour group?"
"0.5 seconds, to be exact, 0.35 seconds," the man said with a smile, saving the data. "It's an amazing reaction. It's the shortest reaction time among us. People's reaction to sudden problems is often the most real. It seems that you are the most likely Duke of the night."
"Ha?"
Gao Cheng looks puzzled: please, you move so big, I noticed before I went to the side, what's the difference?
"I'm Hiro Kono of room 2002, a bank clerk," the man said with a smile. "Are you the jintianyi who was accidentally pulled into the group? I cared about you in the group before... "
"Hum!" Sitting in the hall, a man with long hair scattered behind him, holding a can of beer, said drunkenly, "do you think you can find the Duke of the night by asking like this? I think you are the Duke of the night
"Mr. Jiang Yuan in room 2101," Shiro imano glanced at the man with hair behind him, "it seems that it took 2.86 seconds for you to answer my question, but it's not without suspicion, hey."
Maori xiaowulang walked into the hall and looked at them strangely. When he noticed Gao Cheng, his face sank: "Why are you here, too? Every time I meet you, it doesn't seem like a good thing. It's true. "
Gao Chengban opened his eyes and suddenly thought of Dr. a Li, who had never appeared: "wait a minute, aren't you here to take part in the mysterious journey of Izu?"
"Are you, too?" Maori Kogoro was stunned, and his moustache trembled. "It's really bad luck. It's rare to have a free trip..."
"Free?" Jiang Yuan said with a smile, "your tone is too big. Before you find out the true face of the dark night Duke, everything is still uncertain."
"Ah?" Maori xiaowulang looked at Jiangyuan in a daze. He didn't know why, "isn't it free?"
"Are you the Duke of the night?" Hiro Kono suddenly asked Maori behind him, and then pressed the keyboard after Maori Kogoro reacted stupidly.
"Me?" Maori vaguely pointed to himself.
"3.04 seconds... It took you such a long time just to answer my question..." Shilang imano raised his mouth and reminded him by the way, "don't you know? The room is only half prepaid... "
"Half the money?" Maori didn't notice what Hiro Kono said next, but rushed to the counter anxiously.
"Mr. Ali is waiting for three people, isn't he?" the waiter explained after checking, "your accommodation fee is only half prepaid..."
Maori's face was sweating: "how could this happen? Can you look it up again? "
"What's the matter, dad?" Xiao Lan and Conan came and asked in surprise.
Maori asked Conan with an ugly face: "smelly boy, the hotel only paid half of the money. What's the matter? Don't you mean free? "
Xiaolan didn't expect such a thing. She said, "at least half of it has been paid. We'll just pay the other half..."
"But," Maori Kogoro looked back at Gao Cheng and whispered to Xiaolan in embarrassment, "I didn't bring so much money."
"Senior, you are here too!"
Xiaolan also noticed Gao Cheng and said to Maori xiaowulang, "Dad, you can borrow it from senior Gao Cheng. Maybe he has some money with him..."
"Hum, let me borrow money from him, it's better to kill me," Maori Kogoro said, unable to save face. He broke the pot and said, "forget it, I'm going back to my room!"
"Ah? dad! What should I do with the hotel room money? " Xiao Lan cried anxiously.
"I'll lend it to you at that time," Gao Cheng said, looking at Maori Kogoro's back silently. "I'll give it back to me when I get back to Tokyo."
"Really?" Xiaolan was relieved, "thank you so much, Mr. Chenghu!"
"Chenghu?"
Hiro Kono and several other members of the tour group who happened to come were stunned.
"Isn't it jintianyi?"
"Well, ha ha," Gao Cheng grabs the back of his head. "In fact, it's jintianyi. He can't come, so let me replace him. My name is Chenghu Gao Cheng. I'm a detective..."
"Detective, detective?" The members of the tour group suddenly changed their faces and focused on Gao Cheng.
"Well, what's the matter?" Gao Cheng looks at a group of people who are not quite right.
What's the matter? How can I feel like there's going to be a homicide
"Don't you think you are Gao Cheng, who has been appearing in the newspaper recently?"
A couple came from the outside, a very energetic Sunshine Youth with short hair, and a young woman with yellow chestnut and short hair. It was the young man who spoke.
"I've read your report, and I want to see you one day." The youth's eyes were bright and he said with a smile.
"Who are you?" Gao Cheng looks at the young man suspiciously. He feels an unusual temperament from the young man. His bright eyes are very similar to those masters in the Kendo competition.
"Are you..." Xiaolan pushed forward, excited, "are you Mr. Tian Cong?"
"Maeda Cong?"
Conan looked at Xiaolan a fan sister's appearance, imperceptibly blocked in the middle of the way: "Xiaolan sister, do you know?"
"Of course!" Xiaolan's face was flushed with excitement and said, "he was the champion of Japanese karate six years ago. I began to learn karate just because I adored him!"
Then Xiaolan approached the young man and said, "Hello, my name is maolilan. I won the urban convention a while ago! I didn't expect to meet you in this place. I'm so lucky
"How lucky is that?" Conan a face is not happy, curl a mouth to turn to Gao Cheng way, "karate champion is very fierce?"
"Should be very powerful," Gao Cheng sat on the sofa, looking at some embarrassed youth, "at least much better than your Xiaolan..."
"Better than Xiaolan?" Conan thought of maolilan's usual performance, his face even more depressed, "how does that compare with you?"
"How do I know? I don't know karate."
"Don't you know Kendo?"
Conan a pair of dead fish eye: "Kui I thought you were very powerful."
"This ah..." Gao Cheng thought, looking at Conan's appearance, suddenly joked, "you should not be jealous, right? Others already have girlfriends. "
"Well?"
Conan followed him, just before Tian Cong took his female companion and said, "this is my fiancee, Sasayama mingko..."
"He's a high school math teacher." Gao Cheng looks at Akiko Sasayama, and his gaze sweeps over the others present.
In addition to bank employee Shiro Kono, programmer shio konhara, former Tian Cong and Akiko Sasayama, the rest of a beautiful old lady, xiuko uetiao, President of a software company, as well as an old computer company investor, xuanichiro Jincheng, and his servant, Lin Jingjiang, were also present.
All the members of this tour group have arrived, and one of them is the mysterious sponsor "dark night Duke".
To be honest, he still doesn't understand each other's purpose. There are so many people in the tour group. Even if everyone only pays half of the room fee in advance, it's still a lot of money.
Is it just fun to spend so much money? What's more, there are mysterious computer programs that seem to be valuable
"It's really despicable," the drunken Shinan Ishihara woke up half way and walked past Gao Cheng with a discontented look on his face. "He even asked a detective like you to replace him, hum!"
"But then again," she said, looking warily at Gao Cheng and turning to Xiaolan in doubt, "you should be two doctors and a little girl in primary school?"
Xiaolan was not very amused and said, "it's just because they can't come that they are replaced by us. Moreover, the man just now is my father Maori xiaowulang. He is not a doctor, but also a detective."“ "Maori Kogoro?" The faces of those present changed again“ Ju and even the sleeping Maori Kogoro are here! "“ Isn't that right? Maybe the Duke of the dark night has lost a lot of people all of a sudden. " She said with a smile“ But in this way, the Duke of the dark night will be more careful and difficult to show his horse's feet... "
