Chapter 245: High School Students Can't
"Aren't you supposed to drink at a bar?" Shiliang Zhenchun did not enter the room directly, but first questioned Saddle Chikeiko and the others.
"yes. After you leave, we'll go back to our respective rooms and get ready, and we'll meet in Ximu's room in ten minutes, and we'll go together. β
"But when we rang the doorbell and no one answered, we asked the waiter to open the door and see, and it was like this..."
Iyayashi also waited for others to reply one by one.
The entrance was a little crowded, and the people at the door had frightened expressions on their faces, Xiaolan and Yuanzi felt a little scared and didn't follow up. Kaede stood at the entrance, surveying the room.
Shira Zhenchun was a little surprised.
She originally thought that Kudo Shinichi would run over directly to check on Mr. Nishiki's situation, so she was a step behind and asked the others, but Kudo Shinichi didn't seem to be in such a hurry.
Speaking of which, Kudo Shinichi reacted very quickly before, and he didn't seem to want to have physical contact with himself or Xiaolan...
Mixed thoughts crossed my mind.
However, in the end, the case was more important, and Shira Masumi didn't think much about it, but walked over Kaedehara towards the corpse.
But he was stopped.
"What's wrong?" Shiliang Zhenchun was a little puzzled.
Kaedehara gestured towards the ceiling.
Following his gaze, Shiliang Zhenchun noticed the abnormality on the ceiling, and couldn't help but gaze slightly.
What looked like blood was still dripping downward, and if she had just walked over it, it would have been dripping onto her body. Your clothes are a small thing, but they may affect the on-site investigation.
"It's like," she couldn't help but sigh, "it's like a blood-colored ceiling." β
"yes," Kaedehara walked around the pool of blood above and came to the side of the corpse, "The bloody footprints on the ceiling also continued to the window. β
At the entrance, he confirmed that Mr. Nishiki was too dead to die, and from this point of view, he also confirmed that Mr. Nishiki had been stabbed in the heart.
Sera Shinsumi also walked around from the side, and followed the direction of the bloody footprints on the ceiling until he came to the window of the room.
The window is open.
"The prisoner dragged the victim to the ceiling and hacked him to death," Shira Masumi glanced down at the downstairs, "and then walked directly to the window on the ceiling and disappeared through this fifteenth-floor window. Did the prisoner want to fake such a scene? It's like a youkai with wings that fly freely and can manipulate the human body. β
"Tengu..."Sazuchi Keiko's face became even more frightened, "Are you saying that Nishiki was killed by Tengu?" β
"YouβYou said Tengu?" Hayabusa Sen was also surprised.
"Speaking of monsters that can fly in the sky and have supernatural powers..."
"What are you talking about?" Agada didn't believe this, "How can there be such a thing in the real world? β
"But, but, that's the only way..."
"Tengu is a fiction," director Ma Shanfeng didn't believe either, "that kind of thing only existed in the movies we made before." Could it be that Nishiki was killed by that fictional youkai? β
The victim also had an octagonal gold plate in his arms, which Tengu often held in his hand. Together, there is the new code. β
Kaedehara didn't reach for it, but just bent down to look at the words on the code paper and snapped it, "The code you want me to unravel looks very similar to this." Maybe it's a murder teaser? β
"Kill, kill notice?"
"Hey, if there's a new code, that is..."
"Is there anyone going to be killed again?"
Saddle Chikeiko and the others said one by one.
"Do you have a grudge against the guy who came up with the code and called out the chestnut?" Shira Zhenjun asked back.
"No, no," Mr. Hayabusa immediately denied it, and looked between his companions, "right?" β
"Yes, yes..."
Sure enough, there's something hidden...
Kaedehara didn't ask, but asked about other things first:
"There are also scripts of "Red Shura Tengu" scattered all over the ground, what are these slippery pieces of paper pasted here and there on the script?"
"Nishiki has been using this kind of sticky note lately, saying that it is easy to attach and easy to tear off. Because the movie might be adapted, Nishiki took the script back to the hotel to revise it. β
"I said it had to be done before the movie was released." Ms. Keiko Sazuchi added after Director Masan.
"Didn't you say you'd go to the bar after meeting in this room in Nishiki ten minutes later?" Sera then asked, "Who came to this room first?" β
"Yes, it's me and Agata and I." Mr. Hayabusa replied.
"When we came over and rang the doorbell, there was no response."
"Well, if what you say is true, then the prisoner killed Mr. Nishiki in those ten minutes, and then left these marks on the ceiling..."
"And then, did you call the police?" Kaedehara asked.
"Reported. The waiter who opened the door for us went to the police. I just contacted us and said that Officer Ayakoji from the Kyoto Prefectural Police will come over. β
"Officer Ayakoji of the Kyoto Prefectural Police..."
It's the aristocratic police officer with his pet squirrel with him.
The next investigation will not be carried out until the police come, and he can't always participate in it as Kudo Shinichi, so Kaedehara doesn't plan to wait here any longer.
Glancing at the time on his watch, Kaedehara looked up and said to Shira Masumi, who had already walked back, "I'll leave it to you next." β
"Huh? What's wrong? "Sera Zhenchun was a little surprised.
Isn't Kudo interested in the case?
"I still have some things to deal with, and when it's over, I'll be going to bed," Kaedehara said, and then coughed twice more against his mouth.
He coughed a little harder than before. In this way, although he did not directly explain the reason why he was going to rest, the current performance is enough to explain the situation.
Sera is pure and understanding.
Although Xiaolan was very worried, Kaedehara was resolute, and she had no choice but to watch Kudo Shinichi leave.
After walking a distance and making sure that no one was following him, Kaedehara took out his phone and sent a message to Conan.
Conan, who had also returned to the hotel, quickly rushed over.
Like when Kaedehara met him at Kiyomizuji Temple before, Conan still wears a disguised hat and scarf, but...
ββ¦ You don't want to change your glasses," handing over the mobile phone belonging to Kudo Shinichi to Conan, Kaedehara couldn't help but complain, "Just with this pair of glasses, Xiaolan and the others can recognize you, right?" β
"No, it won't." Conan didn't care, "And it's okay to recognize it, just tell her I'm here to play with Hattori..."
"Yes, you can also say that you are reluctant to give up your sister Xiaolan..."
"You're in charge," Conan blushed a little, "but thanks." β
I don't know if I'm thanking me for agreeing to help with the antidote, or if I'm thanking me for keeping my distance from Xiaolan...
Kaedehara complained in his heart, and then told Conan about the code and the case.
Knowing that there was a crime in the hotel, Conan was eager to run back to the scene of the crime. However, Kudo Shinichi had just left, and if he showed up right away, it would be easy to arouse suspicion, so after thinking about it, Conan decided to forget about it - there was his favorite code anyway.
However, Kaedehara still told him the specific details of the case.
"Also," Kaedehara said before parting, "Ashbara asked me to tell you one more thing. Don't forget that you should never continue to eat the next pill after the effect has passed, but should wait eight hours apart. β
"I remember," replied Conan. Because of this, he also specially asked Hattori Heiji to come over to help, so as not to have an accident. After all, he couldn't keep letting Kaede Yuan take medicine for himself at intervals.
For the next few days, Kudo Shinichi's identity belonged to Conan.
ββ¦ If you do something too affectionate," Kaedehara reminded, "don't forget to hide some time in advance." β
"I know," replied Conan, "but then again, how do you know that doing something too affectionate will cause the potion to take effect shorter?" β
Because of the actual experience, of course...
"Guess." Kaedehara is a serious one.
Conan was skeptical about this.
The progress of the relationship between Feng Yuan and Gray Yuan is obviously much faster than that of himself and Xiaolan, and last time this guy even held Gray Yuan's hand in front of Xiaolan and himself...
These two must have done a lot of affectionate things...
Here Kaedehara and Conan parted and headed to their respective rooms. Conan and Hattori lived in one room.
In fact, if Conan had planned it himself, he would have shared a room with Nakamichi, because it would have felt more like a school trip. When the time comes, you just need to let Hattori Heiji hide under the bed and quietly replace him...
However, Kaedehara felt that it would be more convenient to find a random reason not to live with his classmates, so that the only thing that would be lost was the pillow fight.
So they booked a room in the same hotel.
Kaedehara and Ashbara mourn too.
Just like Gray Hara felt before, she really had no way to refuse Kaedehara, so she came to Kyoto with him.
And nowβ
Gray Yuan lay on the single bed, his chin propped up with his left hand, and the fingers of his right hand gently slid over the screen of the tablet, and then yawned.
She'd been in her room for hours, and even her dinner was settled here with a sandwich, and now she was feeling a little bored.
The Detective Corps badge that was kept at hand has not moved now.
Speaking of detective regiment badges...
Kaede Yuan didn't turn off the call between the two before, and she didn't take the initiative to end it after waiting for a while, so their detective group badge kept the call all the time.
But she didn't keep listening to what was going on there.
She felt that this would make Kudo uncomfortable while playing, but she was really curious and relieved, so she didn't take the initiative to end it, and it turned out to be this tangled situation.
It's all to blame for Kudo himself not ending the call...
"What a troublesome guy..."
Muttering in a low voice, Gray Yuan Ai reached out and picked up the Detective Corps badge, intending to ask when he would return. But just then, she heard the door open.
He's back.
Gray Yuan immediately put the detective group badge back, and slid the tablet again with his right hand, posing as if he was fascinated.
Kaedehara walked into the room.
Because he is still the same as Kudo Shinichi, and the time is not early, Kaedehara did not knock on the door and wait for Gray Yuan to open the door, but directly opened the door with a room card.
The lights in the hotel room are still on.
Coupled with the words just heard, it was easy to tell that Gray Yuan had not fallen asleep yet.
He took two more steps, and then he saw Gray Plains.
The room is a double room and is simply furnished, with two single beds in front of the TV cabinet. Gray Yuan was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt under his shoulders. The middle of the quilt bulged upwards for a while, and it could be seen that Gray Yuan was cross-legged backwards.
"I'm back, Grayplain."
"Hmm." Gray Yuan replied in a low voice.
"What are you looking at?" Kaedehara walked over to the bed and asked curiously.
"The latest medical papers," replied Gray Plains casually, "just to pass the time of boredomβis it fun to go on a school trip?" β
"It's not interesting."
"Really?" Gray Yuan Wai changed to his right hand to support his head, and tilted his body slightly to look at Feng Yuan, "Then you came back so late." β
"Because there's something. You hear that, right? A friend of my mother's asked me to go to her room at nine o'clock to get her code, and it turned out that not long after I left, I encountered another murder..."
"Homicide?" Gray Plains was stunned for a moment.
"Didn't you hear? It just happened. Because the time for the drug to take effect was almost up, I didn't wait for the police to come. We'll find out more about the situation tomorrow. Kaedehara then explained, "What about you? Just spent a day in the room like that? β
"yes, it's not fun to go out alone, and I don't want to follow you secretly like Edogawa..."
"Then I'll be with you tomorrow..."
"Ah, Mr. Detective is so sweet," Gray Harahara said, and then vaguely felt that something was not quite right in the atmosphere. The boy in front of him sat on the floor, leaning against the edge of the bed, his chin propped up and looking at her.
Kaedehara's gaze was soft, she was familiar with and liked it, but she always felt that he seemed to be a little hesitant. So she stared at Kaedehara's eyes tightly, and the pair of eyes quickly lost their way, and their eyes wandered.
Gray Plains leaned in and sniffed lightly.
"Hey, I didn't do anything..."Kaede Yuan said helplessly, "Even Conan, who has been quietly following, has no opinion..."
"I'm not that boring and I care about that kind of thing." Gray Plains snorted softly, "And then? Why are you so hesitant? β
"Hmm..."
ββ¦β¦β
"Gray Plains..."Kaede Yuan wanted to speak and stopped, and stopped talking and wanted.
Gray Plains looked at Kaedehara suspiciously for a moment, and then showed a sudden expression. But then, that look was replaced by a wary look.
"I mean, you don't want to come up, do you?"
ββ¦ Oh, yes. Kaedehara honestly admitted, and winked innocently, "We slept in the same bed last time." β
He was referring to the London one.
"Pervert!"
"Hey..."
"Last time it was a big bed! And it's spaced out in the middle..."
As he spoke, he sat up wrapped in the quilt, ready to distance himself from Kaedehara. But as soon as she moved, she realized that it looked like she was moving her position to Kaedehara, and she froze there again.
The temperature on his face seemed to be getting higher and higher, and Gray Yuan Wai had no choice but to freeze in place, and repeated fiercely: "Pervert." β
I don't know why, if I hear the words "pervert" too much, I don't feel it at all, but I find it funny...
"I miss you, Grayplain." Kaedehara replied.
Although I haven't seen him for half a day, playing the role of Kudo Shinichi, who is familiar to his classmates, makes Kaedehara feel a little tired, and he also feels out of place with his surroundings, so he misses the current atmosphere more and more, and misses the girl in front of him.
In front of Ash Hara, even if he is just himself, he can be both Sora Kaedehara and Shinichi Kudo. Maybe one day he can be empty.
So, he really wanted Gray Plains.
And if you like someone, you will always want to keep shortening the distance with each other.
Gray Yuan Ai was slightly stunned, then raised his chin slightly, and turned his head away from his gaze.
"It can't be said nicely." Gray Yuan expressed his refusal categorically, "You're a high school student now. β
And she's a schoolboy now.
No, high school students.
"Is that okay when I change back?" Kaedehara's eyes lit up.
"......" Gray Yuan was a little speechless, turned his head, and continued to stare into Kaedehara's eyes.
I always feel like this guy is getting thicker...
Do you think I can't refuse you?
Thinking of this, Gray Yuan Ai decided to be tough and let this guy honestly go back to his own bed, "You-"
Again, she paused.
The young man in front of him abruptly pressed his own chest.
Kaedehara's heart suddenly beat violently, and then an unbearable and intense pain spread from the position of the heart to the whole body.
He's going to change back.
