Wednesday, April 30.

At around six o'clock in the evening, Maori's car finally stopped in front of a villa on a cliff. This must be the McLavert Villa that the driver, Miss Hitomi Iwai, said, Maori sighed, and he was all on the road on the first day. After getting out of the car, by the not-so-bright starlight, Maori found that behind the villa was a small mountain wall, a small beach near the sea under the cliff on the right, and a valley under the cliff in front.

Following Iwai Hitomi into the villa, Maori found four people, a fat man in his forties dressed as Sherlock Holmes, who thought he was the owner of the place. A pair of young people who look like college students, and a fat woman in her forties.

The fat man dressed as Sherlock Holmes said: "Welcome to McLavert Villa, the owner of this place, Hiroyuki Kanaya, is also the planner of this event. All of you here today are all Sherlock Holmes fans who have been carefully selected by me. ”

Ikuo Kawazu said angrily: "Is it really strictly screened? In my opinion, there seems to be a lot of abuse in this, and I don't even know who Sherlock Holmes is." ”

The fat woman asked, "Is there really such a person?" and her voice sounded a little strange, and she couldn't tell where the accent was.

Ikuo Kawazu whispered, "It's that mustache." ”

Looking at the strange eyes of a few people, Maori said, "I think I'd better go back." So saying, he walked out.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Maori. Hiroyuki Kanaya hurriedly grabbed Maori, "Everyone, to be honest, I invited this gentleman today for nothing else, you may not know it, in fact, this one is comparable to Sherlock Holmes, an active senior detective......"

"Mr. Kogoro Mori, right? The male college student laughed, "I know you, Detective Sleeping Kogoro, your fame is indeed extraordinary, but it is not worth mentioning compared to Sherlock Holmes." ”

"It's, it's just, if you really want to compare it to Sherlock Holmes, you're simply not as good as you. The female college student laughed, "By the way, our reasoning research will be more interested in how much negative energy you can have than your reasoning." ”

"I said, how do you look so familiar?" Nanako Shimizu said with a smile, "It turns out to be the unlucky detective who doesn't know how to control herself." ”

"Ah, you're that person," said the fat woman, "and it looks like I'm going back, and my colleagues in Tokyo now say that the chances of something bad happening to you must be higher than the chance of something good." ”

"Peer?" asked Ikuo Kawazu, "Excuse me?"

The fat woman said, "I'm Toda from Osaka Prefecture, and I'm a soothsayer. ”

Toshiaki Fujisawa said, "That's right, let's go back." ”

Maori said angrily: "Bastards, these guys. ”

Conan laughed, "Alright, alright, doesn't this just mean that Uncle is your reputation, and it's not a shame to lose to Sherlock Holmes." ”

"You don't have to be wordy!" Maori yelled at Conan, "I won't lose to the characters on paper!" and then found that the Holmes fans were looking at him, and in anger planted a big mushroom on Conan's head, "It's all you, you have to sign up for this tour." ”

"Conan!" Ran said and wanted to step forward, but was squeezed to the side by Toshiaki Fujisawa, Nanako Shimizu, Hiroyuki Kanaya, and Ms. Toda, and asked questions around Conan.

"What, I'm worried about him. Lan laughed.

"What?" asked Maori, angrily.

Because the usual Conan always looks serious, not at all like a child, it is really relieved to see his innocent smiling face now. Lan laughed, "I didn't expect him to like Sherlock Holmes, just like that guy." ”

"That guy?" asked Maori, "who?"

"That's the guy that's talking about," Lan laughed, "pretending to be cool all day long, being obsessed with reasoning, and worshipping Sherlock Holmes like a five-body ......."

"And I don't know anything about music, but my footwork in football is superior, and I slipped away after winning the last game with me, Shinichi Kudo. Hattori Heiji said as he came in from the outside, and then asked, "Right?"

"Hattori!" Lan was taken aback, then asked, "Are you also a Sherlock Holmes fan?"

"No, no," Hattori Heiji shook his hand and laughed, "The reason why I joined this tour was because I thought I might run into Kudo and that messing around." Then he laughed again, "To be honest, I like Ellery Quinn more than Conan Doyle......" and then noticed the disgruntled look from Sherlock Holmes, and changed his words, "but anyway, Holmes is still number one." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please introduce yourself. Hiroyuki Kanaya said.

After the introduction, Mori learned that the male college student named Kento Toba was the president of the Reasoning Research Society of Kyoto University, and the female college student Ayako Oki was a member of the Reasoning Research Association.

"After today's dinner, you will be served tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, one o'clock at noon, and eight o'clock in the evening. Hiroyuki Kanaya said with a smile, "After that, the super reasoning test will be conducted according to the practice of previous years." As he spoke, he waved his hand at the book that Hitomi Iwai was holding, "If you can get a perfect score on this test, you will get the first printing of Conan Doyle's first work, Sherlock Holmes's first appearance in front of the world, "A Study in Scarlet Letters." ”

"Wow!" exclaimed together the Holmes fans.

"But before you do that, prove how obsessed you are with Sherlock Holmes. Hiroyuki Kanaya said with a smile, "Now my assistant has sent you a thousand questions of Sherlock Holmes knowledge, please be sure to submit the paper before dinner tomorrow, only those who get more than 990 points are eligible to participate in the super test after dinner." To be fair, please give my assistant your mobile phone or Sherlock Holmes-related books. Then he pointed to the security camera on the wall and said, "Even if you want to hide it, it is useless, because there are security cameras and bugs installed all over this villa, so you can fully monitor everyone here." If someone cheats, not only will the answer be invalid, but I will also ask him to leave here, just walking. ”

"Well," Maori asked, "is this test a must, too?" ”

"How so," said Kanaya Hiroyuki, with a smile, "Mr. Mori, you're a special guest, as long as you're willing to make a statement after the meeting." ”

Conan asked, "If I get more than 990 points, will I be able to participate in the super test?"

"Uh," Hiroyuki Kanaya said with a smile, "yes." ”

"Hey, didn't that guy Kudo come?" Hattori Heiji asked Ran, "And the Yamazaki who followed your father, didn't that guy who messed around?"

Shinichi didn't come, he didn't seem to know about it. Ran said, "As for Yamazaki, he just seems to be coming." ”

At this moment, the engine of a heavy car came from outside, and there were also two voices through the loudspeaker, "Hey, may I ask if this is the villa of the Addict Club." "Lan, you're not in there. ”

"It's Mei Daiko, and the garden. Lan said and ran out.

"Addict clubs?" Maori noticed that the faces of Sherlock Holmes fans turned sour.

Hattori Heiji laughed, "Speaking of which, uh," and then noticed that the Holmes fans were staring at him viciously, and laughed dryly, "Let's talk about this later." I'll go see if Kudo has come. With that, he turned around and went out, and Maori followed.

Outside, Sonoko and Midako were talking to Ran, Yamazaki was next to them, a car stopped behind them, and an RV slowly drove towards the edge of the cliff by the sea.

"Uncle Maori," Yamazaki said, then to Hattori Heiji, "nice to meet you." ”

"Where's Kudo?" asked Hattori Heiji, "Did you come along?" ”

Glancing at Conan, Yamazaki smiled, "I'm going to disappoint you, he didn't come with me, I'm sorry." ”

"Ah, it's you black skin. The garden said.

"You're there too. Midaiko asked, "By the way, what's your name?"

"Heiji Hattori. Hattori shouted, "You remember it clearly for me, I'm Hattori, Hattori, Hei, and Ji." ”

"I try. Mei Daiko said, "Also, you remember, next time you don't have to say it so loudly, I have good hearing." ”

Next time, Heiji Hattori felt a toothache.

"Ahem!" said Hiroyuki Kanaya, "this gentleman, you are not welcome here, please leave." ”

"You are the organizer of the Sherlock Holmes Fan Tour, the owner of this McLavert Villa, Mr. Hiroyuki Kanaya. Yamazaki said, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but there's no way I'm going to leave as you want." ”

Hiroyuki Kanaya shouted, "What did you say!"

"Hey, you have to make it clear, this is not your villa where we are standing. The garden said.

"She's right, all you have is the villa, and the road outside is a public place. Hattori Heiji laughed, "Of course, if the road belongs to you, that's another matter, but it looks like they've already figured out that it's not yours." ”

"Of course not," said the gardener, smiling, "it was built by the last owner, and he only bought the villa later." ”

"Like it or not, in Mr. Arthur Conan Doyle's books, Mr. Sherlock Holmes is indeed a true addict. This is a fact, an indisputable fact of the past, which will not change by anyone's will. "At least now and for a long time to come, if not forever, the facts of the past are immutable." Then he found that the RV was parked, and said, "I am out of company." With that, he passed.

Toshiaki Fujisawa said, "Forget it, Mr. Kanaya, let's go back." ”

Nanako Shimizu said, "Yes, let's eat quickly, I can't wait to answer the question." ”

Sherlock Holmes fans, with the exception of Conan, all went back to the villa. Yuan Zi asked, "Lan, how about coming with us?"

"Forget it. Lan looked at Conan and smiled.

Conan said, "It's okay for me to be alone. ”

"That's it. Lan said, then asked, "By the way, are you going to be here all the time?"

"Mom and Dad went to the UK to watch the election, and they didn't come back until the second position, and Meidai Restaurant was handed over to the people in the Japanese department for the time being. Mei Daiko smiled, "So we can go back together." ”

"I see, I'll play with you tomorrow. Lan said, "Dad, let's go back." ”

"Well, this," Maori laughed, "I think I'll forget it." ”

"You don't want to drink beer, do you?" Lan smiled, "Mei Daizi, help me keep an eye on him, only six bottles." ”

"No problem. Mei Daiko smiled.

Seeing Maori walking towards the RV, Hattori Heiji asked, "Miss Mei Daiko, there doesn't seem to be air conditioning in the villa, can I stay?" The sofa in front of me should be enough to sleep, right?"

Mei Daizi said, "I don't know you well. ”

"In this way," said Sonoko, laughing, "you can treat Mei Daiko to a big dinner later." ”

"That's fine. Hattori Heiji smiled, "Next time you come to Osaka, I will treat you to a big meal." ”

"Okay, that's it. Mei Daiko smiled, "I want to have a good meal." ”

"Serve ......" Lan just wanted to speak, but was covered by the garden.

"Definitely. Heiji Hattori smiled, "There are a lot of delicious foods in Osaka. ”

"Alright, you can take this kid back. Yuanzi smiled at Lan.

"Okay. Lan said, "Conan, let's go." ”

"Okay, Sister Lan. Conan looked at Hattori Heiji and smiled.

Ran took Conan back to the villa, and Sonoko, Midiko, and Hattori returned to the RV.

After approaching the RV, Hattori Heiji found that the RV was self-propelled, and estimated that it was about 12 meters long, 3 meters wide, 3 meters high, and about 2.80 meters high. When I got into the car, I found that it was at the back of the cab, which was about half a meter long, a storage room for storing sundries, and a place to change shoes, and found that the height of the compartment was only about 2.50 meters, thinking that there was a water tank and other equipment. After changing my shoes, I passed a kitchen about two meters long where two cooks were busy. Entering a living room about five meters long, Hattori Heiji felt that it was the right place, at least with air conditioning, sleeping on the carpet was a good choice.

There were already a lot of dishes on the table, and Maori was already drinking beer. Hattori Heiji is a little strange, is anyone still coming? Why is there ten steaks on this table, well, this steak looks good, it should be sold for 70,000 or 80,000 yen, this time it was really earned.

However, not long after, watching Mei Daiko eat the fifteenth steak, Hattori Heiji felt that he had lost a lot, and then suddenly found that Mei Daiko seemed to only eat steak, and suddenly felt that he was going bankrupt, and glared at Sonoko viciously, which made Sonoko laugh.

Yamazaki asked, and Sonoko said it with a smile, and Mori couldn't help but laugh after him.

Yamazaki smiled: "Don't worry so much, you can use good desserts, I heard that Lingtang's craftsmanship is good, you can buy some good materials and make it yourself." Mei Daizi does not have high requirements for the color, there is no need to work hard in this regard, remove this factor, and it will not be a problem for Ling Tang. ”

"This," Heiji Hattori thought for a moment and sighed, "I'm really losing a lot this time." ”……
