Conan: Another Famous Detective

"No! It's not me!" The village chief explained hurriedly: "Actually, I invited you all because of someone else's request..."

He looked at Danzawa Michiki and the other three, and said, "Someone sent me the notepad I showed you at dinner, the letter, and the money. They said that as long as these four people are called, the Golden Legend will be released." It will start a craze again and then revitalize the village. I also attached a letter to be sent to the four of you, saying that you will definitely come after receiving the letter."

"There is also an envelope in the letter I sent to you, right?"

"Yeah!" Danze Daiki nodded slightly.

"You mean the letter about the landslide accident 16 years ago, right?" Tsurumi confirmed.

"Although I say so, it's possible that you are lying!" Zeng Zi looked at the village chief with distrust.

"Everything I said is true!" the village chief raised his voice, as if he wanted to prove that he had a clear conscience: "Even the hotels and rooms where you stay are designated by the other party!"

"Anyway, before the police arrive, you should stay in your room well." Hattori Heiji said: "In addition, please give me things that can make sounds, such as mobile phones. You should still have your mobile phones. Bar?"

Everyone took out their mobile phones.

Hattori was a little disappointed. It seemed that the murderer had been prepared and had used a spare mobile phone.

Shaking his head secretly in his heart, Hattori continued: "Okay, everyone, please leave your mobile phones to me for safekeeping!"

Danze and the others hesitated for a while, and finally handed over their phones.

"Okay, everyone, please go back to your room now!" Hattori finally said.

"Wait a minute!" Xiaolan raised her hand: "If what the village chief said is true and the rooms are all designated, have these rooms been tampered with?"

"That's right! And our room seems to be where the foreigner who died in the landslide lived before! Damn it! I really want to change rooms with someone else!"

"Oh? Is what you said true?" Zeng Zi Shi Hui asked with interest.

"Yeah!" Xiaolan nodded: "There is still a notebook that the foreigner used to practice hiragana in the drawer in the room, but we have only opened one and haven't looked at the other notebooks yet."

"Then let me trade with you!" Zengzi suggested: "Those notebooks seem quite interesting."

"I'd better stay in that room." Danzawa Michiki said with a smile: "After all, we can't let a lady leave such bad memories."

Zeng Zi Shi Hui frowned, glanced at Danze Daiki, and did not continue to fight with him.

"What if I also move to the room on the third floor?" Tsurumi suddenly asked.

Hattori glanced at him: "That doesn't matter, but you must not step out of the room. Anyone who dares to leave the room will be treated as a prisoner!"

"Uh! Okay..." Tsurumi's expression seemed a little disappointed.

Later, under the witness of Hanomiya Akira and others, Danze, Tsurumi, and Zengzi all entered the room, but Danze entered the room where Xiaolan and the others were before.

Only Yumiya Akira and his party were left in the corridor.

"Let's go downstairs so we can observe all the rooms!" Hattori greeted.

"Well! Let's come together, the village chief. It just so happens that I have something I want to ask." Hanemiya Mingya said.

"No problem!" The village chief agreed readily.

After a while, everyone came to the front of the hotel, from where they could see all the rooms.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Yu Gongming immediately said: "I would like to ask why the client called those people and Hattori to come over. Is there any explanation in the letter?"

"Yes!" The village chief nodded: "Mr. Michiki Tanzawa knows the geology of Shizuoka County very well. It seems that he has investigated the appearance of this area before. Not only in Shizuoka County, he also went to excavate ruins all over the country, until A few years ago, he was still serving as a critic for related programs, and he was quite famous."

“However, after I heard rumors that the unearthed artifacts were fake, I disappeared from TV.”

"What about the aunt who wrote the novel?" Hattori Heiji asked.

"Don't you know Zeng Zi Shi Hui?" the village chief said with a smile: "She is a famous novelist who writes about various monsters and monsters! Probably because she writes novels on that theme, she is very familiar with various monster legends in Japan. .”

"It is said that when the novel was made into a TV series, the crew was asked to change the location or repaint the colors of the mansion scenes because they felt it did not match the image of the story."

"Oh, by the way, she seems to have graduated from an art college, so it's not like I can't understand her persistence!"

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with gold, right?" Hattori Heiji was puzzled.

The village chief laughed and said: "The letter said that even if they are not interested in gold, they can still use Nue to stir up the topic."

Hattori was speechless.

"But, that Tsurumi brother doesn't seem to be a celebrity, right?" Conan asked doubtfully.

"That's true." The village chief was also a little confused: "Mr. Somechi Konk is a historical researcher who studied the gold buried by the Tokugawa family, but the letter only said that Mr. Tsurumi Hajime was a newcomer who traveled around the country to interview rumors of monsters. Journalists, that’s all.”

"What about Hattori? Did Hattori come over in the letter?" Akira Hanomiya asked.

"Uh! That's not the case..." The village chief was a little embarrassed: "The person the letter asked me to invite was actually a famous Maori detective from Tokyo. However, it cost a lot of money to renovate the hotel, so I planned to invite a famous high school detective from Tokyo instead. Kudo Shinichi.”

"But I couldn't contact him, so I found Mr. Hattori, who is as famous as him."

Hattori Heiji had black lines all over his head: "Am I actually the substitute for that uncle and Kudo?"

Conan twitched the corner of his mouth and was speechless in his heart: "This is really..."

At this time, Hattori's expression changed and he asked: "So, the letter you sent me said that you must bring a girl here. Is this also the instruction in the letter?"

"Yes!" The village chief nodded: "I told you in the letter that you must invite Detective Maori and his daughter to come together. I also think it would be better if a young girl appears in the video introducing the village."

"Oh? That sounds really suspicious!" Yu Gongming said calmly.

"Huh? What should I say?" Everyone looked at him.

Yu Gongming first looked at the village chief: "Village Chief, I want to confirm first that you have indeed cleaned the hotel, right?"

"Yes! I'm sure!" The village chief said with certainty: "I don't know why Ms. Zengzi said she found a dead mouse in the drawer, but you didn't find any in other rooms, right?"

"No." Heye and Xiaolan shook their heads.

"Neither do we." Hattori also said.

Conan's eyes rolled slightly, and his expression suddenly changed: "Wait a minute! I seem to understand what Brother Hanomiya means!"

"Oh? What do you know, little brat?" Hattori Heiji's voice rose slightly.

It's strange, what's going on with this situation where I'm the only one who's half a beat behind?
