Chapter 37: A Holiday Trip to Izu

A week later, Izu Princess Hotel private beach.

Gao Cheng was lying on a beach chair in shorts, his eyes glancing around under his sunglasses.

Under the cloudless clear sky, there is occasionally a gust of sea breeze blowing up a heat wave, the heat is a little hot, but it is just the right amount of heat, this kind of summer vacation, the beach is full of people, and there are many young ladies in bikinis, all of whom come here to travel and cool off.

Gao Cheng's eyes followed a young lady passing by, and landed on the swimsuit girls who were playing wantonly in the seawater, and the fullness of the water splashed on the chest and stretched the swimsuit tightly......

"Oh, it's so good, it's really not wrong this time!" Suddenly, a familiar uncle's voice sounded next to Gao Cheng, his brows jumped, and he turned his head with a bad premonition, and sure enough, he saw Maori Kogoro's squinting face.

Since this guy is here, what about ......

Gao Cheng continued to look with a dark face, and soon saw Mao Lilan who was holding Conan on the other side, Mao Lilan in a blue swimsuit was fair-skinned and had a very capitalized figure, and he could also see Conan's face flushed.

"This kid ......"

The good mood is gone all of a sudden.,Why can I meet this guy every time?,It's a rare holiday and it's going to be in the soup again.,Next time if it's a tour.,Can you only go to Hokkaido?

Taking advantage of the fact that Maori Kogoro and his party didn't notice him, Gao Cheng carefully put away his things, pretended not to know and quickly left the beach.

In the lobby of the hotel, Gao Cheng was checking in at the front desk while waiting for the rest of the tour.

Like everyone else, he received a list of all the names and room numbers.

There are a total of 11 people in 7 groups, including two doctors in one group, and Dr. Asasa in one group, as for the others, they are either programmers, or software company presidents or investors, and math teachers...... Overall, it's more likely that he'll find the host, the Duke of Night.

Reasoning can't make up for it with observation, what he lacks is the ability to sort out intricate clues like Conan, so that he can't find anyone.

A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked to the side holding a computer, and the slender half of his face was covered by bangs, looking a little gloomy.

"Are you the Duke of Night?" The man asked suddenly.

"What?"

Gao Cheng looked at the man suspiciously, and his eyes swept over the computer to open the stopwatch timing program: "You are also from a tour group?" ”

"0.5 seconds, 0.35 seconds to be exact," the man said with a smile, "It's an amazing reaction, it's the shortest reaction time among those of us, and people's reactions to sudden questions are often the most realistic, it seems that you are the most likely Duke of the Night." ”

"Huh?"

Gao Cheng looked inexplicable: Please, you moved so much, I noticed it before I walked to the side, is there a difference in asking any questions?

"I'm Shiro Konno from Room 2002, a bank clerk," the man smiled, "You're the Kanedaichi who was accidentally pulled into the group, right?" I've been caring about you since I was in the group before......"

"Humph!" A man with long hair hanging back in the hall holding a can of beer and said drunkly, "You each ask like this, don't you really think that you can find the Duke of the Night in this way?" I think you're the Duke of Night! ”

"Mr. Egen in room 2101," Shiro Konno glanced at the man with the hair behind him, "It seems to take you 2.86 seconds to answer my question, but it's not without suspicion, hey." ”

Maori Kogoro walked into the hall, looked at Shiro Konno and the two strangely, and when he noticed Gao Cheng, his face sank: "Why are you this kid also here?" Every time I meet you, it doesn't seem like anything good, really. ”

Gao Cheng's eyes were half-open, and he suddenly thought of Dr. Asasa who had never appeared: "Wait, you guys shouldn't be here to participate in the 'Izu Mystery Tour', right?" ”

"Are you too?" Maori Kogoro was stunned, his mustache shaking, "It's really unlucky, it's rare to have a free travel ......"

"Free?" Jiang Yuan sneered, "You're too angry, and you can't say anything until you find out the true face of the Duke of Night." ”

"Huh?" Mori Kogoro looked at Ehara in a daze, and didn't know why, "Isn't it free?" ”

"You're the Duke of Night, aren't you?" Shiro Konno suddenly leaned behind Mori to ask questions, and only pressed the keyboard after Mori Kogoro reacted in a daze.

"Me?" Maori pointed at himself in confusion.

"3.04 seconds...... It took you so long just to answer my question......" Shiro Konno reminded him with the corners of his mouth upturned, "Don't you know yet?" The room rate was only half prepaid......"

"Only half paid?" Mori didn't pay any attention to what Shiro Konno said next, and just rushed to the counter anxiously.

"Mr. Asasa and the other three people," the waiter explained, "You did only pay half of the accommodation fee in advance......

Maori sweated on his face: "How can this happen?" Can you check it out again? ”

"What's wrong, Daddy?" Xiaolan and Conan walked over and asked in surprise.

Maori looked at Conan with an ugly face and asked, "Stinky boy, the hotel is only half paid, what the hell is going on?" Didn't you say it's free? ”

Xiaolan didn't expect this kind of thing, so she said, "At least half of it has been paid, let's pay the other half......"

"But," Maori Kogoro looked back at Gao Cheng on the side, and whispered to Xiaolan's ear and said embarrassedly, "I didn't bring that much money." ”

"Senior, you're here too!"

Xiaolan also noticed Gao Cheng, greeted him, and hurriedly said happily to Maori Kogoro: "Dad, you can borrow it from Senior Gao Cheng, senior may have money ......."

"Hmph, let me borrow money from him, it's better to kill me," Maori Kogoro couldn't save face, broke the jar and said, "Forget it, I'm going back to the room!" ”

"Huh? Father! What should I do with the hotel room money? Xiaolan shouted anxiously.

"I'll lend it to you first," Gao Cheng looked at the back of Mori Kogoro leaving speechlessly, "I'll return it to me when I go back to Tokyo." ”

"Really?" Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you so much, Senior Chengto!" ”

"Joto?"

Shiro Konno and a few other members of the tour group who happened to come over couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.

"Isn't it Kanedaichi?"

"That, haha," Gao Cheng scratched the back of his head, "Actually, Jin Tianyi can't come, so let me replace him, my name is Joto Gao Cheng, and I'm a detective ......"

"Detective, detective?!" The faces of the members of the tour group changed instantly, and their eyes were all focused on Gao Cheng.

"Uh, what's wrong?" Gao Cheng hesitated to look at the group of people who were not quite right.

What's the matter, how do you feel like you're about to have a murder......

"Aren't you the modern left-hand character Joto Takasei who has been appearing in the newspapers lately?"

A couple came from outside, a very energetic short-haired sunny youth, and a young woman with short yellow chestnut hair, and it was the young man who spoke.

"I've read your report, and I'm thinking I'll see each other someday." The young man's eyes were bright and he smiled.

"You are?" Gao Cheng looked at the young man suspiciously, he felt an unusual temperament from the young man, and his bright eyes were very similar to those masters in the kendo arena.

"Are you ......" Xiaolan squeezed to the front with bright eyes and said excitedly, "You are Mr. Satoshi Maeda?!" ”

"Satoshi Maeda?"

Conan looked at Xiaolan as a fan girl, and blocked the middle without a trace and said, "Sister Xiaolan, do you know each other?" ”

"Of course!" Xiaolan said with excitement on her face, "He was the Japanese karate champion 6 years ago, and I started learning karate because I admired him!" ”

Saying that, Xiaolan approached the young man again and said, "Hello, my name is Mao Lilan, and I won the city meeting a while ago!" I really didn't expect to meet you in this place, I'm so lucky! ”

"What's so lucky about this?" Conan looked unhappy, pursed his lips and turned to Gao Chengdao, "Is the karate champion very powerful?" ”

"It should be very powerful," Gao Cheng sat on the sofa and looked at the young man who was a little embarrassed, "at least much stronger than your Xiaolan......"

"Stronger than Xiaolan?" Conan thought of Maolilan's usual performance, and his face became even more depressed, "How does that compare to you?" ”

"How do I know, I don't know karate."

"Don't you know kendo?"

Conan had a dead fish-eyed look: "I thought you were pretty good." ”

"This ......" Gao Cheng thought for a while, looked at Conan's appearance, and suddenly teased, "You shouldn't be jealous, right?" Someone else already has a girlfriend. ”

"Huh?"

Conan followed and looked over, just as Satoshi Maeda pulled his female companion next to him and introduced, "This is my fiancΓ©e Akiko Sayama......"

"He's a high school math teacher." Gao Cheng looked at Akiko Sayama, and his gaze swept over the others present.

In addition to bank clerk Shiro Konno, programmer Tokio Ehara, and Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Sayama, the remaining glamorous mature woman, software company president Hideko Uejo, and an elderly computer company investor, Kenichiro Kaneshiro, and his maid Lin Jingjiang were also present.

The group had already arrived, and one of them was the mysterious host, the Duke of Night.

To be honest, he still doesn't understand the purpose of the other party, there are so many people on the tour, even if everyone only pays half of the room fee in advance, it is still a lot of money.

Is it just fun to spend so much money? Not to mention the mysterious computer programs that seem to be of great value......

"It's really despicable," the drunken Jiang Yuan Shinan woke up halfway and walked past Gao Cheng with a dissatisfied face, "I actually look for a detective like you to replace him, hum!" ”

"But then again," Hideko Kamijo glanced at Gao Cheng vigilantly, and suddenly turned to Xiao Landao suspiciously, "You should be two doctors and a little girl in elementary school?" ”

Xiaolan was embarrassed and said: "It's because they can't come, so they are replaced by a few of us, and the man just now is my father Maori Kogoro, he is not a doctor, but also a detective." ”

"Mori Kogoro?" The faces of those present changed again.

"Ju、Even the sleeping Maori Kogoro is here!"

"Isn't that just right? It may be that the Duke of the Night has suddenly become much less numerous. Hideko Kamijo chuckled.

"But in this way, the Duke of Night will be more careful and it will be harder for him to show his feet......"
