Chapter 106: The Murder of the Baron of the Night (1)
The Izu Princess Hotel, a five-star luxury hotel just completed last year, is located on the beach side of Izu, a famous tourist destination in Japan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this moment, in the lobby of the hotel, Mori Kogoro is checking in with Ran and Conan.
"What, only half the money was paid?" Maori shouted, completely ignoring the curious glances of the people around him.
"Yes, Mr. Mori, Mr. Asasa did only pay half of the three rooms he booked. At the reception desk, the lobby manager, who was a little depressed, flipped through the computer records and replied very affirmatively.
"How can this happen? Can you check it again?" Mori knew that it was unlikely that something was wrong on the part of the hotel, but he still asked the lobby manager to confirm it again.
Originally, I heard Dr. Asa say that there would be free accommodation, so Mori would bring her daughter and Conan to Izu for a vacation.
Although hotel rents have been halved, half the price of a five-star hotel sea view room is just as expensive. If you use all the money you bring with you to pay for your room, you won't be able to get the facilities and food and drink along the beach.
A few weeks ago, Dr. Asasa signed up with his friend and his friend's granddaughter on the Internet for a "Izu Mystery Tour", but before the event began, Dr. Asasa's friend's granddaughter suddenly fell ill with a bad cold, so Dr. Asasa gave up three places to Maori.
There are a total of 11 people participating in the whole event, divided into 7 groups, and everyone is half-priced, but if you can find the organizer who is mixed in with the 11 people, then you can get free accommodation, and you can also get a mysterious USB flash drive containing a software program at that time.
The names and room numbers of the participants are known to all the members in advance, and the organizers will dress up as the famous mystery novel character - Baron of the Night, and create some events for 3 days and 2 nights so that the participants can discover his true identity.
Just as Maori was having a headache over the cost of accommodation, a man with glasses and a biased hairstyle came up to him and suddenly asked, "You're the Night Baron, aren't you?"
"What?" Maori was stunned, not understanding what the other party was saying.
"3.04 seconds. The man pressed a few quick buttons on his laptop, "This is the reaction time you took to answer my questions, and it can be used as an important reference for me." I forgot to introduce myself, but I'm Shiro Konno in room 2002. ”
"Hmph! It's useless to say anything until we find out the true face of the Night Baron. A drunken man with a can of beer was lying on the couch in the lobby, and Shiro Konno seemed to be very unscrupulous about his time count.
"Mr. Ehara in room 2101. It seems to take you 2.86 seconds to answer my question. Konno didn't argue with Ehara, believing that his information would find out the true identity of the Night Baron.
Previously, Maori had attracted a lot of attention when arguing with the lobby manager.
An old man wearing a pair of sunglasses and walking on crutches, supported by a servant, walked over slowly and said: "People's reactions to sudden problems are often the most real!
"Mr. Kaneshiro in room 2001, it took you 6.29 seconds to answer my question. "Konno, who came to the hotel one step ahead of Mori, seems to have tested all the participants.
"I couldn't see clearly, and I wasn't sure you were asking me, so I hesitated for a moment. The old man Jincheng's answer made it impossible to find anything wrong.
Konno snapped on his laptop: "It's okay, anyway, I've already collected all my information." ”
"Not necessarily!" said a beautiful lady with sunglasses, "Looks like someone's information is missing, Mr. Baron Night?"
"What are you talking about?Miss Kamijo in room 2102?" Konno obviously didn't expect someone to ask himself his own question.
Miss Kamijo pressed the chronograph button on her watch and quipped, "2.45 seconds, Mr. Konno, you're 0.97 seconds slower than me!"
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about the Night Baron all this time all along?" asked Maori weakly.
"Baron of the Night, a character written by the famous mystery novelist Yusaku Kudo, in the book he is sometimes a strange thief active in the night, sometimes a ruthless murderer, as for his true face, the author has not yet explained. The man answering Maori's question was dressed in a black suit and a medieval high-brimmed top hat, dressed in the same way as the Night Baron depicted in the novel.
The only fly in the ointment is that the height of this "Night Baron" is only a little over 1 meter, which is slightly Q version.
"Uncle Maori, hello!" The person who cosplayed was none other than our male protagonist Twilight Xingchen, and after greeting Maori, he did not forget to praise Xiaolan: "And Sister Xiaolan, you are getting more and more beautiful!" As for Conan, he was directly ignored by him.
"Thank you, Xingchen. Spotting that Officer Twilight wasn't showing up with Stellar, Ran asked, "But why are you here?"
"Didn't Dr. Asa tell you? I'm one of the participants in this event, and now we're direct competitors!" "Xingchen participated in the event to get a USB flash drive with a special program, and he had seen a small piece of code on the Internet and thought it was very interesting, so he was bound to win in the end.
Conan recalled that after Dr. Asa told him about the trip three days ago, he mysteriously told him on the phone: "Don't be careless!
"So the Doctor already knew!But even in the face of the stars, I won't admit defeat!" Conan silently decided.
Shiro Konno, 28 years old, graduated from Waseda University's Department of Finance, and currently works in a bank. ”
"Jiang Yuan Shinan, 32 years old, computer programmer, but the reputation is not very good among his peers. ”
"Kenichiro Kaneshiro, 74 years old, computer company investor, worth more than 100 million, maid Lin Jingjiang, 56 years old, Chinese. ”
Hideko Uejo, 29 years old, became the president of a computer software company at a young age, and it is rumored that she used unfair competition to get to where she is today. ”
"Guys, do you want me to continue?" Xingchen casually said the information of several participants.
"What? you're investigating us privately?" the people were unhappy with Xingchen's behavior.
Xingchen took out a bottle of coffee milk, took a sip, and said indifferently: "Only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you win all battles!" Before coming to the hotel, we all learned the names and photos of other people, but you were indifferent to it. Maybe you want to win the game, but it's not strong enough, and you can only really win if you take the desire to win as if you breathe!"
