In "Mycroft Hotel", when it was early in the morning, Fujisawa Toshiaki, who couldn't wait any longer, got up angrily, angrily tore up the questionnaire he had filled out, and shouted:
"Damn it! I spent a whole day writing this test question!"
"gentlemen……"
Seeing this, looking at Fujisawa Toshiaki who was already a little out of control, the waitress Hitomi Iwai couldn't help but stepped forward to try to dissuade him, but it was too late. He had completely torn the questionnaire in his hand into pieces, and it was difficult to put it back together.
Too possible.
In response to this, even Maria Toda on the side was not in the right mood. She put her hands on the table slightly depressed and murmured:
"It seems that the rumors are true. People say that giving away the first edition is a big scam. Every time, the questions are deliberately made difficult so that everyone can't get them all right. In fact, the real purpose is just to gather Sherlock Holmes fans.
He just comes here to show off that he has that book..."
After saying that, Maria Toda didn't want to go, so she stood up and said angrily:
"But I didn't expect that this time I would slip away before the question. Sorry, I'm going to bed!"
"Me too……"
After hearing what Maria Toda said, Ikuo Kawazu also stood up slightly disappointed and did not intend to spend any more time here.
At the same time, Shimizu Nanako remained silent and simply went back to the room to sleep with the few people who did not intend to stay here anymore.
In this regard, seeing that the group of people had almost left, Kogoro, who had no interest in the activities of this trip, also stood up slightly sleepily and complained:
"How ridiculous! I'm going to bed too!"
After saying that, Kogoro went back to his room alone without waiting for Conan and Xiaolan.
Seeing this and seeing that it was too late at this time, Xiaolan asked Conan gently:
"What about you, Conan? Are you going to sleep too?"
"I want to stay."
However, Conan was obviously not willing to go back just yet, and wanted to continue waiting here.
So, having no other choice, Xiaolan had no choice but to accompany Conan and continue to wait in the restaurant——
At this time, the only guests still in the restaurant, besides Conan and Xiaolan, were Hattori Heiji, Toba Kento and Oki Ayako, a total of five people. As for the waitress Iwai Hitomi, since the guests were still in the restaurant
, she had no choice but to stay here and continue her hospitality work.
However, even so, until after three o'clock in the morning, the owner of the hotel, Hiroyuki Kanaya, never showed up, and everyone in the restaurant couldn't help but show signs of fatigue.
Among them, Hattori Heiji, who was already bored, yawned repeatedly and rested his head on the hand on the table in depression——
"No, I'm almost at my limit... There's no need for the innkeeper to delay for so long, right?"
Helplessly thinking, Hattori Heiji thought this, and at the same time, subconsciously, when he was bored, he seemed to remember that before coming here, when Gao Yuan told himself that he could not come, he seemed to have mentioned the organizer of this tour group.
Related matters——
"What is it?"
Since he didn't see Kudo Shinichi after arriving here, Hattori Heiji, who was very disappointed, didn't pay attention to what Takato said at that time. Until now, after the hotel owner Hiroyuki Kanaya made such a strange behavior that has not happened yet
, Hattori Heiji finally recalled this point.
But unfortunately, due to staying up so late, Hattori Heiji, who was very sleepy, didn't want to think about it anymore...
"Yanren, shall we go back to the room too?"
At this time, Oki Ayako, who was wearing a burgundy dress, could only feel helpless at the current time. She put her hands on Toba Kento's shoulders and persuaded her like a coquettish person.
"Wait a minute, it's time like this. Whoever leaves first loses first..."
Kento Toba, who was leaning by the window, couldn't help but said with a faint smile when he saw Ayako Oki looking so impatient.
However, at the same time as he said this, through the hotel window and under the light from outside the hotel, he saw a commercial vehicle driving slowly on the field outside the hotel——
"What is that? Wasn't it the car we took when we came here?"
Seeing this, Toba Kento said a little surprised.
"Who could it be at this late hour?"
After hearing Toba Kento's words, Oki Ayako also came up and said in surprise when she saw the vehicles driving there.
At the same time, after hearing the conversation between the two, Conan and Hattori Heiji also came to the window and looked at the scene outside the window curiously.
Through the silhouette of the car window, the people in front of the window saw the figure sitting in the cab of the car. It was the fat hotel manager Hiroyuki Kanetani wearing a stand-up collar windbreaker and a deerstalker hat——
"It's the innkeeper! Is the innkeeper driving?"
After Oki Ayako saw the figure in the car, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that the long wait was not in vain. She put a hand on Toba Kento's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Look! As expected, it looks like the reasoning quiz is finally about to begin!"
To this, Toba Kento said with a slight satisfaction.
"You'd better do it!"
Oki Ayako came close to Toba Kento's ear and praised him very tenderly.
But just as the two of them were talking like this, watching the slow-moving vehicle gradually drive towards the cliff by the sea without any sign of stopping, Conan and Hattori Heiji frowned slightly, feeling that the situation was not right.
wonderful--
"etc……"
He also responded. Oki Ayako, who felt that something was not right, said in a panic when she saw this.
"There's a cliff over there!"
Toba Kento also seemed to be frightened, he froze on the spot and said in surprise.
Faced with such a situation, Conan and Hattori Heiji, with their detective instincts, could no longer care much. They opened the window directly, climbed out of the window together, and ran to catch up with the people who were heading towards the edge of the cliff.
vehicle.
But at this moment, when the vehicle drove from a gentle cement road to a dirt road without cement on the edge of the cliff, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. Conan and Hattori Heiji could only continue to speed up, and finally caught up with the vehicle -
—
"Uncle! What are you doing!"
He caught up to the rearview mirror of the vehicle, but the speed was still getting faster. As a last resort, Conan jumped up, grabbed the rearview mirror of the vehicle, hung himself next to the vehicle, and shouted into the locked window.
go--
"Stop! Otherwise you will fall!"
But Hattori Heiji was still trying his best to catch up, trying his best to get to the front window, banging on the window hard, shouting anxiously, trying to get Hiroyuki Kanaya in the car to stop the car.
However, even under the shouts of the two people, Hiroyuki Kanaya's figure in the car remained completely unmoved and continued to accelerate, allowing the car to continue to drive forward——
"Is there a blanket on the dashboard? And, what is this sound? It's not the sound of an engine..."
Seeing that the vehicle had reached the edge of the cliff and was about to fall into the cliff, at the last moment, Conan looked inside the car and saw that the dashboard in the car was covered with a blanket. At the same time, the sound made by the vehicle, except for the sound of the engine,
, and there were other sounds.
But at this point, it is no longer possible to stop the car with human power outside the car.
As a result, Conan and Hattori Heiji could only stop at the edge of the cliff, watching helplessly as the vehicle fell under the cliff and hit the rocks standing on the sea below the cliff——
There was a "boom", and as the vehicle exploded, the car was destroyed and everyone died!
Looking at this scene, when he was already convinced that the hotel manager could not survive, Hattori Heiji, who was more than shocked, recalled what Gao Yuan had said to him before -
