Sunday, August 17th, evening.

Mori's car and Sonoko's car drove back to Tokyo with Shinobu Mochizuki, the four detectives, Sonoko, Ran, Maidiko and Yamazaki and went straight to the Metropolitan Police Department.

After getting out of the car, Yamazaki said, "Uncle Maori, it's not too early, and Midaiko and I don't know the situation, so we'll go back first." ”

"I'm not going either," said the garden, "I'll send you back." Then he asked, "Lan, do you want to go together?"

"No, I'll go back with my dad later. Lan smiled, "It's a pity, I originally wanted to invite you to eat fish." ”

"Speaking of which, that old man is really good, he actually knows that his uncle still has a fish in his hand. Yuan Zi smiled.

"Let's go, let's go. "It's almost time, and I'm going back to work." ”

"You said that there is no business in the past few days, what kind of work are you doing, and today is the last day of the Zhongyuan Conference, and it will open at five o'clock in the afternoon, and your restaurant will not have business. Sonoko smiled, "You can go directly to the venue with me, I heard that there are many interesting shows, and my Tatsuya Kimura will also be on stage." ”

"I heard that there are still prizes," Yuan Tai said with a smile, "I have saved a lot of small tickets." ”

"That's because you're eating too much. Mitsuhiko laughed.

"No, I'm going to go back first. Mei Daiko said.

"I said, are you done talking? Maori said.

Yuan Zi smiled: "I heard that there is also a Tokyo Shochiku Opera Troupe tonight, a hot dance performance." ”

"Hot," Maori's saliva fell, "Hot Dance?"

"Daddy!" Lan reminded with an ugly face.

Yamazaki said, "Okay, garden, it's not too early, send us back first." ”……

At 6:30 p.m., Mei Dai Restaurant.

Lan called, they had already come out of the Metropolitan Police Department, and they would see you at the Zhongyuan Conference venue twenty minutes later.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, at the entrance of the Zhongyuan Conference venue.

Yamazaki, Midaiko, Sonoko and Ran, Mori, the four members of the detective group, and Shinobu Mochizuki converged, and then one of them entered the venue with a ghost mask and took a few program lists.

"Why is there such a thing?" asked Lan.

"It's said that there is a special program at the end, and the hundred ghosts walk at night. Yuan Zi looked at the program list and said, "I'm afraid it's a masquerade." ”

Maori asked, "Where is the opera company?"

"On center stage. It's too early, it doesn't start until 8 p.m. "Now is the time to go shopping and have a snack." ”

"Didn't you eat either?" asked Lan.

Mei Daiko said, "I told her to come for dinner, but she said that she wanted to keep her stomach for a snack." ”

Yuan Zi smiled: "Of course, I have to eat all the snacks today." ”

Yuan Tai nodded and said, "Well, you are the same as I thought. ”

"I'm the same as you think, you're the same as I think. "Then again, what about your parents? I won't be your wallet." ”

"We pay for it ourselves. Yuan Tai took out his bank card and shook it.

"Alright, I'm going to the beer house. Maori asked, "Miss Mochizuki?"

"Alright, I'll be with Mr. Maori. Shinobu Mochizuki said. ……

Motota used his small ticket to exchange for an eel and three servings of super eel rice, Ayumi for a doll about twenty centimeters tall, Mitsuhiko for a ten-centimeter-tall mecha warrior, and Conan's small ticket was only enough for a random prize red envelope, and he put it away without even looking at it.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Maori finally saw the hot dance that he had been looking forward to for an afternoon.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the performance on the center stage ended, and the host announced that the entire Zhongyuan Conference would end after the last special program, and then asked everyone to put on their masks, and then all the lights in the entire conference hall were extinguished, replaced by faint dark lights like ghost fires, shining on the masks to reflect the eerie ghost faces.

For a while, there were screams one after another in the venue, excited, scared and frightened, and Lan was also one of the people who shouted the loudest.

"Wow, ha......" laughed the garden, "and finally I saw Lan alive again." ”

"What's so scary about this," said Midaiko, "just keep your head down." ”

Lan lowered his head, only to see the four "grimaces" of the detective group, and shouted again.

The moderator announced that the conference was over and everyone could go home, suggesting that it would be best to go out in masks. ……

Out of the venue, Motota, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Mochizuki Shinobu got into the car of the Sonoko family. The garden will send the three little ones home, and then send Shinobu Mochizuki to the hotel. ……

Monday, August 18, morning, Maori Detective Agency.

Yamazaki brought the records of the Drifting Bottle incident with him and put them in the archives.

"Good work. Maori said.

"I should have done it. Yamazaki said.

At this time, Lan came over and said, "Conan, I found this red envelope when I was doing laundry. ”

"What is the red envelope?" asked Maori.

"This is the prize I got yesterday, and generally there are cash items ranging from 100 yen to 500 yen. Conan said.

"Oh," Lan pinched, "but it doesn't look like a coin." He handed it to Conan.

"It won't be a tissue. Maori laughed.

Conan opened it and looked, "Well, it's three movie tickets, the premiere of "A New Challenge in the Grim Reaper" is at six o'clock this evening, at the Rice Flower Theater. ”

"Great. Lan smiled, "Dad, let's go to the movies at night." ”

"Inside the Grim Reaper, I won't go to this kind of old-fashioned movie. Mori said, "It's not Yoko's." ”

Yamazaki smiled: "I can't leave with Meidaiko, you can find the garden." ”

"There's activity in the garden. Lan said.

Maori said, "Okay, I'll go, I can't waste it like this." ”……

In the afternoon, the Twilight Police Department came over and told Mori that Kasuga Teruhiko had been arrested. The fingerprints of Kasuga Teruhiko were found on the drifting bottle, and there were traces of sleeping pills in it, and sleeping pills were also found in the body of Mochizuki Shinobi, and the ingredients were the same as those of the sleeping pills in the drifting bottle.

Maori asked, "So, police department, what is Mr. Kasuga's motive for doing this?"

"It's not clear. ”

"Oh, by the way," said Ran, "I was on the phone with Sonoko last night, and I heard Sonoko say that Mr. Kasuga's father had booked a family affair for him, and maybe ......."

Maori said: "I see, in order to get rid of my former girlfriend, I killed her. ”

"It seems that this is it. The Twilight Police Department said, then took their leave and left. ……

Later, the Public Prosecutor's Office indicted Kasuga Teruhiko on charges of attempted homicide.

However, Kasuga Teruhiko's lawyer said that Kasuga Teruhiko only needs to cut off relations with Shinobu Mochizuki and never communicate again, and there is no need to kill her at all. He also stated another version of the incident, saying that this incident was completely made by Shinobu Mochizuki in a moment of despair and anger after he knew that Kasuga Teruhiko wanted to break up with her, and put sleeping pills in a drink bottle with Kasuga Teruhiko's fingerprints, and then drank the drink himself, wanting to blame Kasuga Teruhiko for his death. As for why Shinobu Mochizuki was in that cave, it was said that the sea water was not high at that time, and there was a way to go to that cave, and Shinobu Mochizuki went there by himself.

In the end, due to insufficient evidence, no one saw that it was Kasuga Teruhiko who took Mochizuki Shinobu to the cave, and Kasuga Teruhiko was acquitted. ……

Monday, August 18, 6 p.m., Rice Flower Theater Screening Hall.

Five minutes after the movie starts, Conan hears Maori's snoring, turns his head to see that Maori is already asleep, and mutters, "Do most people fall asleep within five minutes of the movie? ”……

At eight o'clock in the evening, after the end of the show, the hall of the Rice Flower Grand Theater.

Lan complained: "Dad, you are really, we finally won the ticket to attend the premiere, but you have been sleeping." ”

"There's no way, as soon as you look at the beginning, you know that this Death Array is still the same. Maori said, "'I'm going to take your life tonight, and I'm going to join the Grim Reaper.'" ”

Conan nodded and said, "Indeed." ”

Tapping Conan lightly, Maori smiled, "What are you nodding, boy, you haven't seen it." ”

"Uh," Conan said quickly, "I've seen the tape at Dr. Asasa's house. ”

Lan said, "But I think it's very good." Then he noticed that the reporters were running behind him, so he looked back and saw that it was Nanjo Hayato, the actor in the Death Circle, who came out.

"What's there to see, let's go. Maori said impatiently.

At this time, a beautiful woman came over and asked, "Are you the detective Mr. Kogoro Mori?"

"Yes," Mori said, "I'm Detective Mori Kogoro." ”

The beautiful woman introduced herself, "I'm the wife of Hayato Nanjo. ”

"Uh, please advise. Maori laughed dryly, "This movie is really good." ”

"Well, I have something I want to talk to you about," said Mrs. Nanjo, "Detective Maori, please come with me." ”

Ten minutes later, on the sixth floor of a six-story building in Yonehanamachi, the office of Hayato Nanjo.

Mrs. Nanjo introduced a woman to Mori, "This is Miss Satomi Yoshino, Goko's agent." Satomi, this is Detective Mr. Kogoro Mori. ”

"What!" Satomi Yoshino was taken aback, then added, "Rude, good evening, Mr. Mori." ”

"Good evening, Miss Satomi. Maori said.

Mrs. Nanjo said, "I happened to see the Maori detective in the theater and invited him, and I was very worried about that. ”

Satomi Yoshino said, "But, Mr. Nanjo ......"

"I'll explain it to him. Mrs. Nanjo said, "Please bring that thing, Miss Satomi." ”

A moment later, Satomi Yoshino brought a piece of paper and handed it to Mrs. Nanjo, who forwarded it to Mori. ……
