Chapter 18: It's Really Dead

Shinichi Kudo, who looked reluctant, was dragged in by Mao Lilan, and judging by his appearance, maybe he was doing something else to concentrate on.

"If you're drinking coffee, why don't you go to Poirot's café downstairs from your house......"

Kudo Shinichi just complained like this, and was dragged by Xiaolan, and the two sat by the window.

However, Kudo Shinichi saw an unexpected person not far away, and saw Mito Moon sitting on a chair with a cup of coffee in front of him.

"Mito-san." Shinichi Kudo waved his hand in greeting.

"It's coming......" Mito sighed and nodded at Kudo Shinichi.

"It's Mito Tsuki...... in Class C" Moriran also saw Mito Tsuki, but unlike the nymphomaniac Suzuki Sonoko, she has no interest in all the boys except Shinichi, "This is Mito-san's...... Sister? ”

Although Nabe Shion looks young and beautiful, she doesn't look like a girl of the same age from the women's suit she wears.

So it shouldn't be possible to be a girlfriend?

Unless Mito-san prefers the type of year older than himself.。

But this ...... It's not impossible, it's almost the 21st century, and it's a pluralistic society.

"Mito-san, your novel is a success?" Kudo Shinichi raised his eyebrows, and said that Nabe Shion's identity was revealed, "This is the editor of the publishing house." ”

"Huh?" Mao Lilan let out a surprised sigh as she observed the Nabe Shion opposite Mito Tsuki.

There are contracts and manuscripts on the table, so it's no wonder that Shinichi-kun can see them at a glance.

But it stands to reason that this kind of thing can be discovered by itself.,It's just that it's still far inferior to Shinichichi-kun in terms of observation acumen.。

"It's amazing, it's just a high school student, can Mito-san write a published work?"

Although Mao Lilan's words of praise were unintentional, it made Kudo's new face on the side feel a little wrong.

Although Kudo Shinichi has a full sense of justice, he is a dead arrogant and vinegar jar, plus the old SP nature hidden deep inside, the most unseen thing is that Mao Lilan is close to or praised by other men.

Mito Moon also knew Kudo Shinichi's character, shook his head and said, "If you want to say that it is powerful, it is Kudo-san, who is a high school student detective, is even more powerful." ”

"Shinichi Kudo......" Shion Nabe looked curiously at Shinichi Kudo, who was known as Sherlock Holmes in the Heisei era.

"Then we won't bother you, let's go, Xiaolan, let's go get some coffee."

After the two left, Nabe Shion looked at Mito Moon in surprise: "I didn't expect that even Sherlock Holmes in the Heisei era was your classmate, and you are a student of Teidan High School?" ”

"Well, it's just that I just happen to know Shinichi Kudo, and the relationship is not very familiar, so let's continue."

Kudo Shinichi is extremely well-known in Japan, not to mention that Nabe Shion is still in the entertainment industry, so it is not uncommon to know Kudo Shinichi's information.

"Do you have any thoughts about pen names? Or do you just use Mito's real name? ”

"A pen name?" Mito pondered.

Pen names are still more important, although good pen names and bad pen names have nothing to do with the quality of the work, but if you choose a crazy and cool pen name, maybe it can make readers take a look at it more when they scan the bookshelf.

However, Mito Moon didn't have much idea about pen names, and what really determined whether it could be a big hit and accepted by readers was the quality of the work.

For his adaptation of "The Mystery of Rice Flowers", Mito Moon is very confident.

While thinking about it, Mito took a glimpse of the front desk inside the store.

The front desk is a boxy cuboid that looks like a silent coffin from his point of view.

"How about a coffin?"

"Coffin? I'm afraid not, someone should have used this name. Nabe Shion was only slightly shocked when she heard the pen name of the coffin, but it was only a surprise.

After all, there are too many strange pen names these days, even if it's a coffin, it's not a big deal.

"Well, the cry in the coffin."

"Crying in the coffin? Sounds scary. Nabe Shion pondered the pen name, "Then wait until I go back and check the author's pen name on the market, if there is nothing else, it should be this pen name." ”

"That's a real bother."

The formal contract has to be signed in the publishing house.,Today Nabe Shion is just discussing a few important matters with Mito Yue.,In fact, as far as Nabe Shion's heart is concerned.,It's a long wait to pull Mito to sign the contract now.,But there's no way.,The process that should go still has to go.。

Or simply tie this young over-the-top novelist in chains? so as not to cause any more extraneous branches.

"Woo woo woo woo woo!"

But just as Nabe Shion was thinking about what to do, the siren of a police car sounded outside the café.

For Rice Flower Town, where people often die, the sound of police cars whining and wawing is really a normal sound, but the sound of ambulances is not so common - most of the victims died on the spot, or they have been dead for several days, and it is useless for the ambulance to come.

"It's a police car?"

But Kudo Shinichi in the seat instantly came to his senses and stood up on the ground.

However, he didn't need to go to see what was going on, but the police car had already stopped in front of the café, and Officer Twilight walked in with the police officers who had forcibly searched the third department in the search section.

Mito Tsuki's worries became a reality.

Seeing Officer Twilight leading the team in, the café proprietress suddenly changed color, and the others were almost equally worried and scared, except for Moriran and Kudo Shinichi.

Shiho Miyano's face in the seat was as usual, but Akemi was slightly nervous.

"Ah, it's great that Brother Kudo is here too."

As a police leader at the level of a department head, Officer Twilight has no pride in being a police officer at all, and after seeing that Kudo Shinichi is also in the café, the whole person seems to be saved.

Kudo Shinichi and Officer Twilight are old acquaintances: "Officer Twilight, is there another case somewhere?" ”

"Hmm." Officer Twilight looked at the proprietress with a beautiful face and a good figure, "Lady Omiya, you're the owner of this apartment building, right?" ”

"Ah, well, yes." Omiya Yanko put down the coffee machine in her hand, "Are you talking about this building?" ”

Listening to the tone, it seems that there is more than one building.

"Yes, there is a suspected homicide in this apartment, and I ask you to cooperate with the police."

Similar to Mori Kogoro's three-story office (café on the first floor, detective agency on the second floor, and residence on the third floor), the apartment where the café is located is also a commercial and residential apartment.

The first and second floors are commercial, and in addition to the café, several houses are rented out to other merchants, and the remaining third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors are rented to tenants, and the apartments are backed by the Tsutsumi River, a river where various homicides are frequent.

"Yes, you have the keys to these residents' rooms, right?"

"Hmm." Omiya Yanko's face was a little pale, "I understand, I will cooperate with the police, that ...... Who is the deceased? ”

"According to the caller, the deceased should have been a tenant on the sixth floor."
