File.19 Television Killings (Part I)

"Do you want to go to school today? Shinichi? If you don't want to go, I can help you take three days of sick leave~" Chiri, who licked the milk on her lips, knelt down on the table contentedly, blinking at Conan, who was still a little sleepy-eyed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Now that the cold is gone, let's go...... Otherwise, Xiaolan will be worried... Yawning~" Conan, who swallowed the last bite of the omelette, picked up the milk, "Didn't Xiaolan call last night and say that the TV station asked her uncle to do a live show tonight......"

"Eh~" The girl who walked around the table with her slender fingers as a dummy smiled, "That must be fun......"

Conan, who was getting dressed in the room, suddenly thought, "Speaking of which, my schoolbag isn't here... Forget it, the textbook for the first grade ...... anyway"

The two of them walked out of the gate of the mansion hand in hand, and when they saw Conan who had nothing in the open space in front of the door, they couldn't help but wonder: "Qianli, do you want to drive yourself?" ”

Hearing this, there was a slight tremor on the girl's smooth little hand, "Of course~let you see my new car~"

Soon the two people in front of the garage walked to one of the parking spaces that had opened the gate, and at the moment when they put their eyes into the parking space, Conan felt that his jaw seemed to be a little loose, and he quickly held his chin and pointed to the sports car with a surprised face: "This car actually has one here with you?!" ”

Without waiting for the girl to answer, Conan, who had walked around the black sports car, pinched his chin, "The front and rear double '7' shaped headlights are part...... Didn't this car be released some time ago? It is said that there are only 7 units in the world, and all of them have already been accounted for......"

"This one is a prototype car, and it is used as a technical verification and various tests, compared to the other 7 ......" The girl's expression has already explained the difference of this car, and Conan, who is still carefully looking at the car, finds something strange.

"Why does this lid under the taillights look a little jarring...... There seems to be something in the air intake outside the rear wheels...... but then I remembered that this was a prototype, "I guess it was left over from various modification experiments......

"But you, the eldest lady, really have a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it...... I remember that the price tag of this car is more than 1.3 billion yen......" Conan, who hung the black line, looked contemptuous of the local tyrant, and the girl puffed out his face and flicked his forehead.

"If you include the modification, it will be more than 2 billion yen~ However, because I designed this car, it is free from start to finish, including modification~"

"Huh?" Conan, who was taken aback, looked Qianli up and down for a while, "Sure enough, only you can design such a grumpy car......"

"Stinky Shinichi, beg for a beating!"

―Teidan Elementary School―

Conan, who opened the forward-swept wing door, had a blue face, and after getting out of the car, he felt that his legs were a little weak, and he turned his head and glared fiercely at Qianli who was looking at him defiantly in the car, and Conan, who was smooth, staggered into the school gate.

"Hmph~" The girl who happily hummed a small tune closed the car door, and stepped on the soles of her feet in the envious eyes of the surroundings.

"Conan, what's wrong with you, your face is so bad......" In the classroom, the three members of the detective group looked worriedly at Conan who was lying on the desk with a dehydrated salted fish.

"You really can't offend that demon...... This driving skill, my mother is like driving a moped compared to her...... Uh-" Conan, who felt another churn in his stomach, quickly shut his mouth.

―Nikmai TV―

"Conan, your cold doesn't seem to be healed yet...... "Holding Conan's hand tightly, Xiaolan said a little worriedly, "You see you walk a little staggering......"

"It's out of the way, Sister Xiaolan, it's just that I'm still a little dizzy......"

"If you're really uncomfortable, remember to say it."

"Okay~~" Conan, who sold a cute, changed back to that bitter and hateful expression after Xiaolan's gaze left him, "It actually lasted so long......"

Soon, the live show came to a 4-minute built-in small video session, Conan looked at the video boredly, and out of the corner of his eye, he found that there were only Kogoro and another female host Jingya on the hosting stage, but the male host Matsuo with glasses was nowhere to be seen.

"Well...... It's probably an internal urgency......" Conan, who withdrew his gaze, once again focused on the film.

After a while, when the film was finished, the male host Matsuo also returned to the scene, but the sweat on his head made Conan look slightly sideways, and he didn't pay attention to it after learning that he was just having a stomach upset.

In the end, the show ends with guessing the murderer of the short film just now, and Xiaolan and Conan who walked out of the audience to meet Kogoro found that the host Matsuo was also talking to Kogoro, and at the same time, a staff member ran over and said, "Matsuo! Suwa is gone, and I don't answer my phone or the phone in the conference room, and I was obviously in ......the conference room just now.

"Huh? Maybe it's going to the bathroom? Then please look everywhere and find it......"

"Oh, good."

Conan, who heard Matsuo's conversation with the staff, couldn't help but wonder, "This person ......"

―A Lesson in Searching―

"Hello? What the! Okay, I'll go right away! ”

Twilight, who hung up the phone, stood up and came to the girl who was still watching TV in class so late for some reason, coughed lightly, and in the girl's curious gaze, Twilight looked left and right for a while, and then lowered her head and whispered, "That, Chiri, can you let me sit in your car?" ”

“……”

―Nikmai TV―

"The one who was killed was Michihiko Suwa, 37, the producer of this TV station... The murder weapon was this silencer......"

Looking at the dead and the bullet holes in the window, Twilight said, "I guess I can't find this bullet that killed me......

"Police Department! Three bullet holes have been found behind the poster and under the clock, and four bullet casings have been found in the house! The busy forensic staff brought an exhibit bag containing a bullet casing to Twilight.

"Hmmm! Immediately sent back for testing, it is very likely that the bullet fired by this gun! Twilight, who watched the forensic personnel leave, looked at the room, "Is there only one exit?" ”

"It's easier that way." Mori Kogoro on the side said loudly, "The murderer entered the house through this door, forced Mr. Suwa to the window, shot him indiscriminately, and then dropped his pistol and fled...... That's right, Dusk Police! ”

"Yes, that's it......" Twilight glanced at Kogoro who didn't know it with disdain, "Do you still need to tell me about such an obvious thing......"

Regardless of the police officers who were doing routine investigations over there, Qianli, who walked into the house at this time, squatted down and patted Conan's little head who was pondering, "Shinichi, did you find anything?" ”

"Huh? Qianli, you haven't come home so late? Conan, who looked back, was surprised that the girl was here at this time.

"Because I'm also watching this live show, I'm planning to ......go home if the show doesn't happen when it's over," the chuckling girl rubbed Conan's bulging bun face.

"......, I'm really sorry that you can't go home......"
