Waiting and waiting, more than an hour passed. Amuro Toru's tea has been refilled for two cups, but the writer still hasn't appeared.

Jiang Xia had already changed the drink from tea to juice. At this time, he couldn't help but glance at Toru Amuro: "Boss, are you going to stay up all night today?"

Toru Amuro actually nodded calmly: "Busy at work."

Jiang Xia: "..."

Just as he was talking, there was a commotion in the corridor - the memorial ceremony was about to begin. Mouri Kogoro and the others hurriedly packed up the table tennis room and went out one after another, preparing to go to the festival.

After they left one after another, a figure suddenly came down the stairs.

Amuro Toru's eyes lit up, and he secretly poked Jiang Xia to remind him to pay attention - if I remember correctly, the person who came down was none other than Imatake Satoshi's writer friend, Sasai Nobuichi.

The roommates have all come down, will Imazuki be far behind?

Toru Amuro felt like he had seen the light of day.

…

Under the covert gazes of the two people, Sasai Nobuichi walked to the front desk while looking at his wrist, and asked the waiter: "What time is it now? My watch seems to be broken."

The waiter politely said: "7:46 pm."

"...I said the watch was slow, but that guy still didn't believe me." Sasai Nobuichi clicked his tongue, turned around and walked out of the hall, heading straight towards the festival.

Toru Amuro withdrew her gaze from him, waiting for Imakichi to appear.

Jiang Xia looked at Sasai Nobuichi for a while, until his back completely disappeared, then he looked away without interest, flipping through the mystery novel in his hand to pass the time.

…

Before I knew it, another ten minutes had passed.

The stairs were almost pierced by Toru Amuro's gaze that passed by from time to time, but Imakichi still didn't go downstairs.

As the time for the festival approaches, there are fewer and fewer people in the hotel.

After a while, the festival was about to begin.

Toru Amuro silently glanced at his watch and then looked upstairs: "...Imazuki Tomo will not forget that there is a festival today."

Jiang Xia cooperated and analyzed with him: "It may be that he found out that he was late, and then simply didn't bother to go there."

As they were talking, the hotel door was pushed open from the outside, and a man wearing sunglasses, a scarf and a hat, who was well covered, strode in and went straight to the second floor.

Jiang Xia glanced at the man and looked away as if nothing had happened.

Following what he just said, he continued to whisper to Amuro Toru: "It's not an option to wait like this. If the festival is over, Imatake Satoshi's roommate will come back, and it will be troublesome then... Why don't I go to the second floor for a walk? , try to meet by chance? There are some lounges upstairs, he might go there. "

Toru Amuro thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I will continue to guard here."

…

Jiang Xia walked slowly up the stairs to the second floor. Like a tourist enjoying life.

It is different from Jiang Xia's leisurely "hanging out" attitude.

In the two rooms next to it, someone was busy nervously.

…

In room 201, there was a man and a woman. They were two of Mouri Kogoro's classmates - Nakamichi Kazushi who had just proposed to play table tennis, and Horikoshi Yumi who was angry because of it.

At that time, the reason why Horikoshi Yumi was furious was because the time when "everyone played table tennis together" just now was originally the "private chat" time she had arranged with Nakamichi Kazushi.

She and Kazushi Nakamichi were in a relationship that spanned more than ten years. Originally, the two should have entered the marriage hall long ago, but Yumi Horikoshi didn't like the feeling of being "bound" and rejected Nakamichi Kazushi's marriage proposal several times.

Nakamichi and Shi broke up with her, went on a blind date with another woman, and quickly decided to get married. After Yumi Horikoshi learned about it, she was resentful of this behavior of "abandoning her" and took the intimate photos of the two of them to blackmail Kazushi Nakamichi.

Nakamichi Kazushi was angry and decided to kill this annoying guy. Just now, the students finished playing table tennis and went to visit the festival one after another. He coaxed Yumi Horikoshi to play a game alone.

When both of them were sweating profusely, Nakamichi Kazushi suddenly smiled sinisterly and said: "I have already stolen those intimate photos you brought."

Horikoshi Yumi was shocked, rushed back to the room, lowered her head and rummaged through her backpack.

Nakamichi Kazushi followed immediately, and after entering the room, he took out a pistol and pointed it at her from behind - Horikoshi Yumi had exercised intensely just now, and if he killed her at this time, the rigor mortis would be faster than usual. Going forward, she will just "die while everyone is playing table tennis together", and Nakamichi Kazushi will have a perfect alibi.

Thinking of the wonderful scene then, Nakamichi Kazushi slowly tightened his hand on the trigger and showed a pleasant smile.

…

In room 202 next door, there are two writers-Imatake Satoshi and Sasai Nobuichi.

After Nobu Sasai walked out of the hotel in a big way, he put on a disguise and ran back - he wanted to kill his fellow bastard Satoshi Imaki.

In Sasai Nobuichi's view, the work that made Imaki Satoshi famous was obviously a collaboration between the two of them, but in the end, it was only Imtake Satoshi who became popular.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the world was unfair, and he gradually became murderous. So he spent a year preparing for a murder tonight.

Tonight's festival will feature bonfires in the shapes of "sky", "xia" and "one" on the top of the mountain in order.

A year ago, Nobuichi Sasai used an old-fashioned camera to take a photo of himself with the two bonfires "Tian" and "Down".

This year, he plans to rush to the scene wearing the same clothes after shooting Imakichi, and ask a passerby to take a photo of him with the character "一". In this way, he looked like he had been staying at the festival venue and never returned to the hotel, so he would naturally have an alibi.

At this time, Sasai Nobuichi had entered the room wearing a disguise and was messing up the room in order to disguise it as a home invasion.

Imatakechi heard a movement in the living room, and walked out with a toothbrush in his mouth in confusion. At a glance, he saw Sasai Nobuichi standing by the door with his hands tightly covered.

Jin Zhuzhi said doubtfully: "What are you..."

Sasai Nobuhi smiled at him and pulled out his gun.

…

In the corridor separated by a wall.

When Jiang Xia reached the stairs on the second floor, through the corridor window, she saw fireworks set off at the festival from a distance.

At the same time as the fireworks exploded, a "bang--" gunshot was heard in the hotel.

It was actually two shots, but because they happened to go off at the same time, it sounded like just one gun.

…

Nobuichi Sasai shot Imakichi to death, carried a bag of belongings, pretended to be a robber, and rushed out of the door.

Guests on the same floor heard the gunshots and poked their heads out of the room in confusion. Nobuichi Sasai hissed at the spectators: "Get out of my way!"

Passers-by saw the gun in his hand and swooped back into the room.

…

As soon as Sasai Nobu finished shouting, he glanced around and saw that the corridor in front was empty except for a young man passing by.

The man probably hadn't reached his own room yet, so he couldn't retreat into the room, but he stopped and "get out of the way" as if obediently.

Sasai Nobuichi didn't pay much attention to this "passerby" and ran past Jiang Xia.

The moment they passed each other, he received a heavy blow on the collar and was suddenly pulled into the air by a hand, followed by a heavy blow on his wrist.

"ah--!!"

Sasai Nobuichi let out a scream, lost his strength and let go, and the gun clattered to the ground.

Almost at the same time, his whole body was swung around like a sack, and he hit the ground with a "dong" sound.

…

Sasai Nobuichi, a mental worker, suddenly suffered such a heavy blow and fainted without saying a word.

What fell from his body was not only a gun, but also a camera.

The camera drew an arc in the air and fell accurately to the door of Room 201, the room where Nakamichi Kazushi and Horikoshi Yumi were.

When the door was opened a crack, the moment the camera landed on the ground, a lump of clay-like object appeared out of thin air and hit the shutter invisibly. The camera made a shutter sound. The sound was wrapped in clay and was diluted by the sound of Nobui Sasai hitting the ground. It was inconspicuous.

The camera completed its mission and continued to slide aside.

Just as it was about to roll down the stairs, a hand caught it.

——Toru Amuro heard the gunfire and ran upstairs warily.

Behind him were Mao Lilan and Conan, two high school students. They were already on their way to the festival, but on the way, Mao Lilan remembered that Horikoshi Yumi was not there, thinking that she was still in the room feeling angry, so she took Conan back to look for her. she.
