"Oh? What you like is "Scarlet Word Research"! ”

On the seaside highway in the middle of the night, on a large business vehicle with the words "Sherlock Holmes Fan Tour" pasted on the window, the people invited to participate in the tour group were happily communicating on the bus.

And since the members of the tour group were very senior Sherlock Holmes fans, the conversation was easy to talk about, and gradually began to evolve into an exchange meeting about Sherlock Holmes's work.

In this regard, when the amiable middle-aged man sitting in the second row with a beard on his mouth, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask after hearing the young lady in the back seat mention that his favorite work was "A Study of Blood Letters".

"Yes."

And this lady, who seemed to be a little introverted, looked a little happy in the face of such an inquiry, probably because it was rare to meet someone with the same interests, so the lady couldn't help but smile and nodded in response.

"Indeed."

However, the middle-aged man who asked was very talkative and continued on the topic:

"Because that's Sherlock Holmes' debut, the most memorable first work!"

"I like Redhead Club the most......"

Probably listening to their chat, the young man sitting next to the lady also seemed very excited, and couldn't help but interject to say his favorite work.

"And me!"

However, before the young man could finish speaking, Conan, who had long been impatient in the face of this kind of topic, immediately got up from Xiaolan's arms, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, raised his hand and shouted:

"I like Four Signatures the most!"

"Oh! It is indeed a masterpiece recognized all over the world! ”

In this regard, hearing Conan's shout, the young man couldn't help but be surprised, and at the same time, the middle-aged man also smiled kindly at Conan:

"Brother, you're awesome! Do you recognize a lot of words? ”

"Also...... It's okay! ”

Slightly embarrassed, Conan could only cope like this.

In this regard, Maori Kogoro, who was sitting in the second row, listened to the chat of these people and felt that he couldn't blend in at all, so he couldn't help but lean out and whispered to Xiaolan in the front seat:

"I can't stand it...... Why did I have to come on this tour? ”

Hearing this, Xiaolan could only say helplessly:

"Because Conan, he ...... It's Conan's name ......"

Quietly, Xiaolan replied-

"And I was chosen......"

Slightly depressed, Kogoro looked at Conan with an excited face and couldn't help but think so.

"By the way, which work do you prefer?"

At this time, Kogoro, who seemed to be in the car, had not spoken, and the young man in the back seat also enthusiastically came up and asked Kogoro.

"Huh? Me? ”

Coldly, Kogoro, who was still depressed about Conan's behavior of signing up for a tour group, couldn't help but be taken aback by such a question, and then touched the back of his head with a hard face, and squeezed out an answer with a smile on his face:

"What I like seems to be called "No Man's Survival" or something......"

However, as soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire carriage suddenly became cold, and everyone who was originally harmonious couldn't help but look at Kogoro's side at this moment, and looked at the man with a mustache in the car with a very surprised expression-

"You should be talking about "No One Survives"!"

Coldly, the middle-aged man corrected in a loud voice.

"And the author of this work is Agatha Christie, not the work of Mr. Conan Doyle, whom I admire."

At this time, even the woman who seemed a little quiet and introverted spoke out in displeasure.

"Hey! I didn't expect this group to have laymen sneak in......"

In this regard, the young man who asked Kogoro out loud did not shy away from complaining.

"What a disappointment......

The middle-aged man also added.

- "These guys ......"

Looking at the disgust shown by the people in the car, Xiao Wulang was also very displeased, stepped forward, and asked Xiaolan in a low voice:

"Hey! Do I really have to stay with these guys for three days? ”

"It's not just these people."

However, without waiting for Xiaolan to respond, the waitress of the tour group, who had been driving, replied with a smile:

"My lord is now carrying another group of people to the hotel!"

"Hey, Hey, ......"

Hearing the hostess say this, Kogoro's expression became even more ugly.

When Conan heard this, he became even more interested, and proposed to Kogoro, who was obviously very displeased:

"Isn't that fun? The more people, the more fun! ”

Seeing this, he was angry, and seeing that Conan, the initiator who had to come with him to join this tour, had such a happy expression, Kogoro couldn't help it, punched Conan in the head, and then said angrily:

"Where's the fun!"

In this regard, Conan, who was suffering from pain in his head, had no choice but to cover his head and say no more.

That's it, because of Kogoro's disappointment, until the car arrived at the hotel, the whole car was silent, just waiting for the hostess to drive the car to the destination of the trip-

A hotel on the edge of a cliff by the sea called "McCroft".

"Wow! What a beautiful hotel! ”

Looking at this exquisite hotel with two floors and a sloping attic, Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaim after getting out of the car, and then hurriedly wanted to go into the hotel to have a look-

"Conan, hurry up!"

Xiaolan, who had already followed the large army into the door of the hotel quickly, said to Conan, who had just gotten out of the car.

So, Conan, who had just taken off his schoolbag from the car and carried it on his back, hurriedly followed-

However, before Conan could reach the steps in front of the hotel, suddenly, a large delicate and fat hand suddenly grabbed Conan.

Turning his head, he saw a middle-aged woman with short dark brown curly hair and an obviously fat figure, who was squatting down and looking at Conan with a curious face.

The woman wore a pink dress and a dark tunic over it, and wore a silver necklace around her neck, and the necklace was a special ornament composed of a moon, a wand, and a sapphire.

"Auntie, what are you going to do?"

Feeling very surprised, seeing the woman who grabbed him, Conan asked with some surprise.

"Little brother, you ......"

At this time, the woman who had carefully looked at Conan for a long time suddenly said with a serious expression:

"Isn't there a big secret?"

"Huh?"

Looking at the other party's serious expression when he said this, Conan was subconsciously startled.

But soon, the woman's next words made Conan breathe a sigh of relief-

"Haha, did you steal the exam papers with bad grades?"

"Ah, this ......"

In this regard, Conan could only smile awkwardly, and Xiaolan, who saw that Conan did not enter the house immediately, poked her head out of the hotel and asked Conan with a little worry:

"What are you doing, Conan?"

"Someone's calling me......"

So, Conan pointed to Xiaolan and said to the lady, wanting to leave the other party quickly.

However, the lady laughed "hehe":

"Be careful, little brother......"

As she spoke, the woman suddenly leaned into Conan's ear and whispered a suggestion:

"Otherwise, your secret may soon be known to someone!"

"Huh?"

Slightly puzzled, seeing that the woman who said this no longer pulled herself, and after letting herself go, Conan immediately walked towards Xiaolan-

"Who's that lady?"

Looking at the scene just now, Xiaolan couldn't help but ask Conan.

"Probably...... It's an astrologer......"

Helplessly, Conan guessed, and at the same time, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart-

"The secret will be revealed?"

In this regard, looking at Xiaolan beside him, between himself does have a big secret in his body, and he is a little sensitive, Conan faintly felt a little uneasy, but he still comforted himself and said-

"Impossible......"
