It was the middle way classmates of the football club who came over.

"Hey, Kudo! That's great! ”

He said hello casually, then sneakily lowered his voice and began to talk about the favorite topics of high school boys of his age.

"In the top 10 of the Edan High School Girls' Popularity Poll that we held behind our backs," he stole a glance at Xiaolan, Yuanzi, and Sera Zhenjun, "there are three people in our class!" ”

"Really?" But Kudo Shinichi didn't look very interested.

"However, for the sake of the fact that you have already confessed to Maori in London, I will let you go..."

As soon as he heard this, Kudo Shinichi knew that Nakamichi was fighting the garden and Sera Zhen's pure idea, and the meaning of the words even seemed to be saying that he had a choice.

However, despite feeling that Nakamichi could not have a chance, Kudo Shinichi decided not to say it directly, so as not to hit the other party.

"By the way, how do you know about confession?"

"Suzuki told everyone. Let's all cheer you on! ”

"I see..."

"But Kudo, can you really come on a school trip? I thought you wouldn't come? ”

"Actually, I do have something." Kudo Shinichi replied, "I'm not here for a study trip alone, so I want to ask you to keep it secret..."

"Don't worry, we are very strict-mouthed! After all, it's a great detective, no matter where you go, there are things that need to be kept secret..."

It's a pretty simple step.

Kudo Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't leave Tokyo with the others, but went straight to meet everyone here in Kyoto, so a few classmates who he hadn't seen for a long time came to greet him.

However, there are not many such people.

As the savior of the Japanese police, whether he wants it or not, Kudo Shinichi is always a little distant from ordinary high school students. In addition, he is usually busy solving cases, and skipping classes is commonplace, so he actually has no friends.

It saved him a lot of trouble, but it also made him feel a little out of place.

I knew that today also made Conan come...

Kaedehara couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He really didn't have much interest in school trips, but for some reason he came anyway.

First of all, he did have some curiosity, though not much.

Secondly, he realized from Ashbara's response that day that if he really didn't have any interest on the surface, Ashbara wouldn't agree, and Conan wouldn't be able to come either.

Again, even if Gray Yuan unconditionally agreed, Conan didn't seem to be able to come to the school trip with peace of mind if he didn't come. So Kaedehara chose the evening of the first day.

And finally, and most importantly, he can continue to travel with Gray Plains. Although this is not a school trip.

In short, this time belongs to him.

Of course, he still has to keep his promise and keep his distance from Xiaolan.

Nothing happened next, and Kaedehara simply walked towards the stage of Kiyomizuji Temple with the people around him. On the way, he also noticed two sneaky figures, one tall and one short, wearing hats and scarves following him.

He didn't take it to heart. Because he knew very well that it was Conan and Heiji Hattori, who rushed over to help with the cover.

The middle road around him has been discussing the various beauties he saw on the road, and Kaede Yuan only responded casually without a match, and basically didn't express his opinion.

Soon, the stage of Kiyomizudera Temple arrived.

"What a beautiful view here!"

"It doesn't seem too high," Shira Zhenjun leaned on the guardrail and looked down, and calculated, "It's about twelve meters." ”

"It's dangerous to get out of the railing, huh?"

"It is said that some people committed suicide by jumping from here not long ago." Yuan Zi echoed, and then the brain circuit circled back to her favorite topic, "By the way, did you answer Shinichi's confession?" ”

She lowered her voice a little and whispered to Xiaolan.

"Not yet..."

"Not yet? That guy has already confessed twice, right? The garden quietly looked at Kudo Shinichi not far away, "It's because the first time you didn't say anything that I worked so hard to help..."

"Garden!"

"Seriously, you're going to kiss him right here!"

"Huh!?"

"Take out the determination to jump off the stage of Kiyomizudera Temple!"

"How is this possible!" Xiaolan blushed in shame, "Moreover, Shinichi gave me a feeling that it was difficult to approach today..."

"That stinky guy must want you to take the initiative..."

Xiaolan felt that the garden made sense. But before she could think about what to do, right next to them, a woman's movements attracted Xiaolan's attention.

It was a beautiful woman in a hat, who looked to be in her thirties, and she carefully took a withered flower from her notebook and raised it to the sky.

"Wait, Izukuri-kun, it's almost there..."

Immediately after, Xiaolan noticed that the other party was a little familiar.

"Please, excuse me," Xiaolan was a little excited, "You shouldn't be actress Saddle Chikeiko!" I just won the Japan Academy Award the other day! ”

"Shhhh

The other party made a secret gesture, obviously not wanting to cause a commotion, "I came here secretly, help me keep it secret." ”

"Oh! Is it a celebrity? "Shiliang Zhenchun also looked at it.

"Can I take a picture with you?" The garden said expectantly.

"Well, if you don't make a statement."

"Thank you very much!"

Xiaolan hurriedly thanked her, and then turned her head to greet Feng Yuan, who was just a few steps away, "Shinichi and Zhongdao, you guys come over too." Let's take a picture together! ”

Kaedehara walked over to this side, wondering if he should refuse.

"Shinichi?" But Saddle Keiko seems to know him, "Shinichi Kudo? That high school detective? You're the son of Kiko, right? ”

"Hmm."

"Did I change your diaper?"

Kaedehara was slightly stunned.

Kudo Shinichi's memories are usually only recalled when they are related to reality, and they have always been clear. But this time, he was somewhat surprised to find that he couldn't remember.

He had no impression of the man in front of him.

Speaking of which, Shinichi Kudo's memory when he was very young was not as clear as it was later, is it because the brain is still developing...

Saddle Keiko's next series of questions interrupted Kaedehara's thoughts: "What? Are you on a school trip to Kyoto? Which hotel do you stay in? ”

"It's the one in the middle of the scenic area..."

"No, it won't! Stayed in the same hotel as us! ”

"We?" Kaedehara said curiously.

"Yes, with my former classmates from Gion Art University, I came to visit the grave of an old friend. said that it was a classmate, and everyone became famous. ”

Sweeping the graves of old friends...

Is that what she said just now?

And looking at her actions just now, she was still on the stage of Kiyomizu Temple, could it be the person who committed suicide here some time ago...

Kaedehara thought to herself, and then noticed what Saura Keiko had written in the notebook with a signature pen.

"Ah, yes!" Saddle Keiko said as she wrote, "If it happens to be the same hotel, can you come to my room tonight?" I've got something to show you! ”

"What do you want to show me?"

"It's a code!" Saddle Keiko leaned in slightly and whispered, "If you're a detective, you should like it like it, right?" ”

“……”

Hey, there's nothing you can't say, don't suddenly lower your voice. Hope that the gray plain on the other side of the badge heard this...

He used to speak through the headset he wore in his left ear and the gray plain mourning on the other side of the detective group badge, but then he simply didn't turn it off.

"Give! Here's my room number! ”

Saddle Keiko handed over the note, "Anyway, after the lights go out, you don't have anything else to do except the pillow fight, right?" I wanted to ask Kiko's husband to take a look at it for me..."

She paused slightly, "Isn't it too hard for you?" ”

"If it's something very important..."

"Oh, it seems that you don't eat this set of radical methods! I thought it would be useful. Anyway, see you around 9pm! It's no problem to bring your girlfriend along~"

"Huh?"

"It's the girl with the long hair, isn't it?" Saddle Chikeiko glanced at Xiaolan, "She's been staring at us since just now." ”

There were no very unhappy eyes from the side, and it was clear that Conan, who was hiding on the side, hadn't heard these conversations, which made Kaedehara breathe a sigh of relief, but not much.

Saddle Keiko also left directly.

The original plan for a group photo was gone because no one mentioned it again, so the group went on to visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple, where they ate sandwiches for dinner.

Eventually, they came to the Nursing House.

"This is the blood-colored ceiling of the Yangyuan Courtyard!"

The garden tilted its head and looked curiously at the ceiling. In front of them, a tourist was poking the ceiling with a stick.

"It's a murder scene from a long time ago." Shiliang Zhenchun said.

"It's a high school girl." Nakamichi immediately complimented. It can be seen that his preferred target is Seliang Masamu.

"I—Let's move on..."

Xiaolan, who has always been afraid of this kind of thing, subconsciously wanted to hold Kudo Shinichi's arm, but once again hugged the void.

This made her slightly stunned.

Speaking of which, when I was outside before, I just wanted to pull Shinichi's wrist and was avoided by Shinichi...

Odd...

Kaedehara coughed twice more against his mouth.

Oh, Shinichi said he didn't want to infect himself with a cold...

"It's okay, it's not going to drip down." Kaedehara knew very well what Xiaolan was worried about, "That's to commemorate the deceased, specially painted on the ceiling, you have to look at it carefully, and pray for the deceased to live forever." ”

"Yes, yes..."

Xiaolan plucked up the courage to walk over.

Kaedehara only felt physically and mentally exhausted.

After visiting the Scarlet Ceiling, the time agreed with Ms. Keiko Sazuchi was almost up, and they returned to the hotel together.

Shiliang Zhenchun is also very interested in the so-called code, Xiaolan and Yuanzi have nothing else to do, and they want to see Saddle Keiko again, so the three of them also followed Saddle Chikeiko's room.

In this regard, Saddle Chikeiko was a little surprised, "You brought not only that girl..."

"I'm sorry. Because I said I wanted to come to see you, and they all said they wanted to come. ”

"Leave the code or something to me!" Sera patted his chest confidently.

"Do you wear a hat in your room too?" Xiaolan asked.

"yes, I fell while filming and got a bag on my head."

"Could it be the movie that's going to be released to the public this weekend?"

"That's right," a voice from behind them answered the garden's question, and it was three men who walked over, and it was actor Hayabusa Moriya who was talking, "It's 'The Red Shura Tengu'!" An ancient fantasy drama starring me! My show is worth watching! ”

"What," next to him was director Ma Shanfeng, "It's worth seeing my skills as a director, right?" ”

The last one was the composer Agada Ri, "No, my music is the biggest selling point of this movie." ”

All three of them were friends from Keiko Anchi's college days.

There is also one person in their group who is the scriptwriter Mr. Taro Nishiki, and the code is also in his hands. The group then went to Mr. Nishiki's room.

Mr. Nishiki quickly took out a note.

"That's the code that was sent to me last week. The envelope also contained a leaf of a withered octagonal gold plate. ”

Kaedehara took the note and looked at it.

The middle of the paper is separated in half by a long line, and the top and bottom are intermittent and randomly placed kanji. There are also four blacked-out squares on the left side.

"Do you know what these four black squares mean at the beginning of the code?"

"I came up with this code, the sign of the guy who called out the chestnut." Mr. Hayabusa Moriya explained.

"That guy has this logo on his notebook and bag."

"Then don't you know the meaning of the code by asking that person?" Obviously, Shira Masumi didn't hear what Sazuchi Keiko said on the stage of Kiyomizuji Temple.

"I just can't ask. He jumped off the Kiyomizu-dera stage here last month and died. ”

"Huh?" Shiliang Zhenchun was stunned for a moment.

"So this code should be a message he sent to me before he died, and I hope you can unravel it."

"We're going to go to the bar of this hotel for a drink," Director Ma Shan invited, "If you want to know, would you like to come along?" ”

"No need." Kaedehara shook his head.

The time for his potion to take effect was almost up, which meant that his school trip was coming to an end, and he was going to be replaced by Conan.

"Then you can unravel the code and send me an email!" Keiko Saddle took out her phone.

After Kaedehara and Sakura Keiko finished exchanging email addresses, the group sat in the lounge downstairs for a while to discuss the code before returning to the hotel room.

On the way, they were also discussing the issue of codes, but to no avail. However, just when Kaede was about to separate from them, he received an email from Sakura Keiko:

"Shinichi is coming! Come to Nishiki's room! ”

It seems that something is wrong.

The group hurriedly turned back.

Ms. Keiko Sazuchi and the three people she had met earlier gathered at the entrance to Mr. Nishiki's room, looking inside the room with horror on their faces.

Kaedehara walked over.

In the room, Mr. Nishiki collapsed on the edge of his chair, his chest covered in blood under his neck, and he couldn't see it.

Tick.

The sound of water droplets causing Kaedehara to look up at the ceiling. Then he saw the pool of blood radiating from the ceiling.
