Conan: Another Famous Detective

After Yu Gongming parked the car, everyone came to the hotel lobby.

"Mr. Maori!" A short, fat man in a brown suit ran towards a few people and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, I asked you to run there early in the morning...Eh? Wait a minute, Mr. Maori, the person next to you is yes?"

The man stared at Hanomiya Akira for two seconds, and then said with some surprise: "Are you the famous detective Hanomiya?"

"Please give me some advice." Yu Gongming said with a smile.

The man looked surprised: "It's really you! Why did you come here with Mr. Maori?"

Akira Hanomiya replied calmly: "I just work as a driver for Uncle Maori. Of course, I am also a little interested in this show."

The man laughed and said, "It's an honor for me to arouse the interest of Detective Hanomiya, ah! By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the director of this show, Sanpei Koguri. Please give me your advice."

Yu Gongming shook hands with the other party, introduced Meng Yu next to him, and said with a smile: "I hope Mr. Guli doesn't mind our presumptuous visit."

Gu Lishenping waved his hand: "How is that possible? I may need to consult Detective Hanomiya's opinion then! I hope Detective Hanomiya can give me some advice."

"You're welcome, I can still help with this." Yu Gongming said with a smile.

Furi Sanpei nodded slightly, raised his hand sideways and said, "Now let's go to Mr. Hota's room first, shall we?"

"Huh? Why are you going to his room?" Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion.

Furi Sanhei smiled and explained: "Because Mr. Hotta wants us to see the scene of him summoning souls."

"That's it!" Mouri Kogoro suddenly realized.

"Please follow me." Guli Shenping led everyone to take the elevator to the fourth floor, and finally stopped in front of the door of Room 402.

Ding dong——

Guli Shenping rang the doorbell twice, but no one responded for a long time.

"It's strange, he should be in the room?" Guli Shenping asked doubtfully:

"When I sent a text message to confirm the time with him this morning, he told me that he had made appointments with other people to meet before this discussion. Maybe that guest is still inside now, right?"

Guli Shenping took out his mobile phone, as if he wanted to confirm it. The next moment, he suddenly exclaimed: 'Eh? Mr. Hotta sent a message an hour ago... [I'm going to be killed, help! ]? ’

"Huh? Is it true?" Yu Gongming and others immediately came over and found that there was indeed such a message on the phone screen.

Gu Li Shenping's face changed slightly, and he said a little awkwardly: "Guys, I'll ask the waiter to open the door. You guys watch here to prevent any suspicious people in the room from escaping!"

With that said, Guli Shenping left in a hurry.

Mouri Kogoro pinched his chin and frowned: "Isn't this the effect of some kind of show?"

"If you get together, even if it was a show before, I'm afraid it will become a fake show now." Meng Yu said faintly.

"Don't say such unlucky words yet! Let's wait until Mr. Kouri comes to check on the door." Mouri Kogoro said.

About ten minutes later, Guli Shenping came back with a waiter.

"Sorry! It took a while to explain the situation!" Guli Shenping said apologetically.

The waiter stepped forward, pressed the doorbell first, and tried calling Hotta Keito's name to avoid disturbing the guests due to a misunderstanding.

However, still no one answered the door.

"Okay, open the door quickly!" Guli Shenping urged.

"Oh, okay..." Seeing this, the waiter took out his spare key and prepared to open the door.

Just as the key was about to be inserted into the door lock, the phone rang.

"Wait a minute! My phone is ringing!" Furi Sanpei took out his mobile phone and answered the call: "Hello! Is this Mr. Hota? Hello?"

After a few seconds, he hung up the phone and said, "It seems I made the wrong call. Okay, please open the door."

The waiter nodded and opened the door.

"Mr. Hotta?" the waiter called inside again.

boom!

A sound of breaking glass came from inside.

"Just now... was something broken?" Mouri Kogoro was shocked.

"Go in and take a look." Yu Gongming said calmly.

Several people cautiously walked into the entrance hall and came to the living room.

Finally, some fragments of wine glasses and dinner plates were found under the dining table, with a lot of red wine spilled around the fragments.

"It seemed that someone was drinking red wine here until just now. Then they were surprised that we entered the room, so they hurriedly knocked over the red wine and entered the room inside with their slippers on."

As Mouri Kogoro spoke, his eyes slightly zoomed out, looking at the floor from the dining table to the room. There were several footprints stained with red wine clearly printed on it.

Akira Hanomiya, Conan and Kogoro Mouri came to the door of the room. Kogoro Mouri opened the door cautiously with his hands wrapped in a towel.

As a result, as soon as he opened the door, a gust of wind blew over.

Mouri Kogoro looked at the swaying balcony curtains and his expression changed: "Did the murderer escape from the balcony?"

"This is the fourth floor!" Conan reminded.

"No, it's not that simple." Mouri Kogoro ran to the balcony, pointed to the side of the balcony and said, "Look, he can escape to the balcony of the next room."

He then pointed to a pair of slippers stained with red wine on the balcony and said, "This pair of slippers is the best evidence."

"I feel something is not right." Yu Gongming said: "Uncle, you also know that my hearing is very good. We only heard the broken sound after uncle opened the door."

"And the red wine footprints extend all the way here, and the shoes are also stained with red wine, which means that when the red wine was spilled, the murderer escaped."

"After we came in, the door to this room was closed, but I didn't hear the sound of running or closing the door after I came in."

Conan frowned: "You mean, there was no one in this room before? What we saw was a deception specially arranged by someone?"

"Hamiya boy, are you sure?" Mouri Kogoro asked: "You also heard it. There is a lot of noise nearby. It seems that there is construction somewhere. Will you be disturbed by these sounds?"

"I can clearly distinguish the sounds outside the room from the sounds inside the room. I'm sure there was no sound of the door closing." Akira Hanamiya confirmed.

"Then let's go to 403 and have a look!" Conan suggested: "If the murderer didn't escape to 403, it means Brother Hanomiya heard it right!"

"Is this..." Mouri Kogoro muttered, then left the room and asked: "Waiter, are there any guests staying in 403?"

"Yes!" the waiter replied: "About a week ago, a girl of about high school age stayed in Room 403."

"A small cabinet stayed in a hotel for a week?" Mouri Kogoro was a little surprised.

Yu Gongming's face darkened: "Uncle, Meng Yu and I went to 403 to check on the residents there. You continue to look for Hota Kaito."

"Okay! You go ahead." Mouri Kogoro nodded.
