After entering the hotel, everyone came to the restaurant and saw a middle-aged man who looked broad-minded and fat, smiling and welcoming everyone.
I saw that he was wearing a dark brown deerstalker hat on his head, a curvy mustache, a brown British classic stand-collar windbreaker, and a pipe in his hand. He seemed to be imitating that man.
Sherlock Holmes costume -
"I planned this trip, and I am also the owner of this hotel, Hiroyuki Kanaya. Everyone gathered here today is a Sherlock fan who has been strictly selected by me. Please open your mind and communicate freely!"
After saying that, Hiroyuki Kanaya looked around at the people present and confirmed that everyone who was supposed to be there was there.
At this time, Conan noticed that the "astrologer" aunt who had just grabbed him was actually a member of this tour group and was standing with everyone.
"snort!"
But at this time, the middle-aged man who was in the same car with Conan looked deeply suspicious of what the tour group planner said. He turned to look at Kogoro and couldn't help but question:
"Is it really a strict screening? It seems that a layman who doesn't even know how to spell Holmes's name got in."
"Really?"
As soon as this was said, the "astrologer" aunt who had just held Conan outside the door asked in surprise.
"Here, it's the man with the beard!"
In response, the young man who was in the same car with Conan immediately pointed out Kogoro, and at the same time, everyone present in the tour group deliberately showed an attitude of keeping a distance from him.
In such an atmosphere, Kogoro suddenly felt displeased and immediately waved his hands and turned around and said:
"I'd better go back!"
Upon seeing this, although others were happy to see the success, Hiroyuki Kanetani, the main planner of the event, hurriedly called out to him:
"Please wait!"
With that said, he stepped forward to grab Kogoro and brought him to the crowd who were obviously displeased with Kanaya Hiroyuki's attitude. He introduced him in a very formal manner:
"Actually, the person I invited today is none other than the current famous detective who can be compared with our Sherlock Holmes——"
"Mr. Mouri Kogoro, right?"
Before he finished speaking, two more people walked in from the door of the restaurant. One of them was a young man wearing glasses, and the other was a long-haired woman of similar age to him. The words just now were exactly what he said.
What this man said.
"I know him. I've seen him many times on TV and in newspapers."
The young man continued, but his tone seemed very noble:
"He does have a good mind, but if it were me, I could easily solve those cases. So don't think that you can be on par with Sherlock."
"Yes, and in actual combat, you may not even be able to defeat Dr. Watson next to Holmes!"
Following the man's words, the woman next to him immediately made a sarcastic comment.
Faced with such contemptuous words, Kogoro couldn't help but become furious——
"Damn it! You actually said that!"
"Nevermind!"
Seeing Kogoro looking so angry, Conan on the side showed an innocent smile to smooth things over:
"The other party is Sherlock Holmes! There is nothing we can do about it!"
But obviously, these words did not have the effect of smoothing things over——
"you shut up!"
After hearing Conan's words, Kogoro, who had nowhere to vent his anger, immediately roared at Conan:
"Who is Sherlock Holmes! How could I lose to the characters in the book!"
However, as soon as these words came out, all the other members of the tour group could not help but look at Kogoro angrily, making Kogoro dare not say anything in anger——
"It's all your fault! Who told you to sign up!"
In the end, Kogoro, who couldn't bear to lose face, punched Conan on the head, which finally relieved most of the sullenness in his heart.
But seeing Conan being beaten like this, Xiaolan couldn't bear it. She said worriedly and called out Conan's name——
"Conan!"
"Conan?"
However, as soon as these words came out, when the people present realized that the child's name was "Conan", everyone gathered around in great surprise——
"Ah! Your name is Conan?"
"Really?"
"Wow! So cute!"
Everyone said something to each other, and everyone pushed Kogoro away and surrounded Conan asking various questions.
Conan was obviously enjoying this, and answered with a smile:
"Well! My dad is a Conan Doyle fan, so he gave me this name."
In response, everyone smiled and praised the name.
Seeing this, Xiaolan on the side couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said with peace of mind:
"It makes me worry about him in vain."
"ah?"
Puzzled, Kogoro made a confused sound.
"Because Conan is usually very calm and not like a child. But seeing his innocent look now makes me feel relieved... Sure enough, a child is a child..."
Xiaolan explained with a smile, then changed the topic and began to sigh:
"But the thing about Sherlock Holmes is that I am exactly the same as him."
"he?"
Frowning, Kogoro felt displeased.
"Yes, that's the guy!"
When mentioning the other party, Xiaolan seemed very happy:
"Love to show off, very proud..."
"Amateur reasoner, obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, music-mad, top-notch football skills..."
Before Xiaolan finished speaking, a male voice with a Kansai accent interjected. She looked around and saw a dark-skinned young man wearing a baseball cap slowly walking in from outside the restaurant:
"And after winning a match with me a few days ago, we left without saying goodbye... Kudo Shinichi is wrong!"
"Hattori?"
Seeing the person coming, Xiaolan was slightly surprised and called out the person's name, and the person was Hattori Heiji who had visited the Mori Detective Agency not long ago.
After hearing Hattori Heiji's voice, Conan, who had been chatting animatedly with everyone in the tour group, couldn't help but turned around in surprise.
When Xiaolan saw Hattori Heiji appear, she was very surprised and stepped forward and asked:
"So you are a Sherlock Holmes fan too!"
"Nah!"
However, Hattori Heiji simply denied it:
"The reason why I signed up is because I thought I might meet that Kudo guy here. And I admire Ellery Queen more than Conan Doyle..."
However, as soon as he said these words, Hattori Heiji felt the hostile gaze from behind, so Hattori Heiji quickly changed his words:
"But of course Conan Doyle is better!"
In this regard, except for Conan, everyone else's attitude towards Hattori Heiji has changed a lot.
At the same time, seeing everyone gathered in the restaurant, Hiroyuki Kanetani, the organizer of the event, clapped his hands, asking everyone to pay attention to him, and then announced:
"Now that everyone is here, let me explain my itinerary for the past few days..."
"Hey? Are you all here?"
Subconsciously, after hearing Kanaya Hiroyuki's announcement, Hattori Heiji, who was still expecting something, couldn't help but blurt out unexpectedly.
In response to this, Xiaolan looked at his expression and felt a little strange and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"That is to say... Not only is the detective guy not here, but I haven't met Kudo here yet... Ah, it's boring..."
Feeling a little helpless, Hattori Heiji no longer intends to listen to Hiroyuki Kanaya's explanation of the content of the activity, and wants to end this boring journey as soon as possible——
"Really, I made an agreement with the detective brother to join this tour group together, but he actually said that he couldn't come because he was in trouble. He also told me that if I was lucky, I would definitely meet Kudo here..."
Complaining quietly, Hattori Heiji murmured,
"Detective brother? You can definitely meet Kudo?"
At this time, noticing what Hattori Heiji was muttering, Xiaolan couldn't help but curiously asked.
In response to this, Hattori Heiji sighed helplessly, and then explained:
"Is this Mr. Akechi? You should know him, right?"
"Mr. Wise!"
Hearing this, Xiaolan was suddenly shocked——
"He said Shinichi would definitely appear here?"
…
Turning my eyes, I returned to Tokyo, to Akechi's house——
"Anyway, since you didn't plan to participate in the 'Sherlock Holmes Fan Tour' or something like this in the first place, you shouldn't participate. Now there are extremely urgent things that need to be solved by you!"
Early in the morning, since I learned from Conan that today was the day that I was selected to participate in the "Sherlock Holmes Fan Tour" and went to the hotel to participate in the tour group activities, Gao Yuan originally thought about whether to just rub off on Kogoro's face.
, and also join the tour group, so that we can find ways to prevent the tragedy that happened in the original work.
However, before Gao Yuan could go out, Xiao Ai took her mobile phone and came over to stop Gao Yuan as if in a hurry——
"Sister Hongzi's necklace is lost! You have to find a way to help find it back!"
