Chapter 186 Death-seeking attitude

To be honest, if the Mori trio were not here, based on Nanjo Hayato's attitude, Aoki Song would have felt that there was a greater chance that this matter was to hype Nanjo Hayato's new movie.

Seeing Mrs. Nanjo's furious look, Mouri Kogoro quickly stopped her and said, "Mrs. Nanjo, don't be so excited."

Aoki Song also said beside him: "Whether it is a gimmick or not, we will find out tonight. I don't think anyone will deliberately curse themselves to death. After all, who knows whether the curse will be effective!"

The implication is that Aokimatsu believed that this thing was true, and it was not a stunt created by Hayato Nanjo to promote the movie.

"That's right, who would curse themselves to death!" Mouri Kogoro agreed.

After hearing this, Mrs. Nanjo put away her anger.

At this time, Mao Lilan quickly interjected to lighten the atmosphere, "I'm going to buy something to drink." Then Mao Lilan looked down at Conan and said, "Conan, let's go."

"Yes." Conan agreed immediately, holding Mao Lilan's little hand and walking towards the automatic drink machine on the side.

There are always some differences between big-name actors and directors. Naturally, Mrs. Nanjo did not have a good relationship with director Tadao Ohno, especially when the other party said such things.

Mrs. Nanjo snorted coldly and turned her head to the side.

Ohno Tadao knew that he had said the wrong thing and was in the wrong, but even though he had been in a high position for many years, he could not lose face to apologize. His status in the industry was no lower than that of Nanjo Hayato, who had declined.

Therefore, when Ono Tadakuma saw Mrs. Nanjo turning her head away from him, he also turned around and left, walking to the resting chair area aside.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro rubbed Aoki Song and motioned him and himself to the side with his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Aoki Song didn't know what Mouri Kogoro was trying to do, but he knew that Mouri Kogoro would not harm him, so he followed him to the side.

At this moment, Mouri Kogoro whispered: "Aoki, have you received any news about this case..."

"Uncle Maori, why do you think so?" Aoki Songqi asked.

"It's already past nine o'clock in the evening, and you still haven't left. You must think there's something wrong with this commission!" Mouri Kogoro looked like he wasn't stupid.

Aoki Song thought for a while and then said: "I don't have any clues, just..." He looked around, especially Mrs. Nanjo's side.

Seeing that she didn't pay attention, Aoki Song whispered: "I just feel a little strange."

"Strange?" Mouri Kogoro asked in surprise.

Aoki Song nodded, "Facing the threatening letter, Nanjo Hayato's attitude is a bit strange. I always feel that there is something wrong with it."

Upon hearing this, Mouri Kogoro immediately asked: "What's the problem? Could it be that he wrote, directed and acted it himself?"

Aoki Song shook his head, "If you want to make a hype, you should make a big deal, especially if you, a famous detective, are involved in the hype, only then can the public opinion reach the peak.

But Uncle Mori, look at Nanjo Hayato's attitude before. This is not the attitude that should be used for hype. Even if he and Mrs. Nanjo are one of the bad guys and the other of the popular ones, they should at least let the media take photos of him and you in the same frame.

."

Let Kogoro Mouri sing a one-man show, but he cannot maximize the hype and create public opinion. Only the two of them can create a topic.

"And for the crew of "Inside the Death Circle", I remember that during the filming of the last film, an actor died during filming. I remember the news at the time was that it was an accident because the screws were not tightened.

Because of this incident at that time, the news about the new movie "Inside the Death Circle" was abuzz. It is said that there were many more moviegoers. Many people went to the cinema to remember the dead actor. However, this time they faced a threatening letter.

, Nanjo Hayato is not as hyped as before."

"Really?" Mouri Kogoro asked doubtfully.

Aoki Song nodded, "I'm sure. If it's just about writing, directing, and acting, he won't worry about being exposed even if he feels guilty. After all, it's an anonymous threatening letter. If nothing is found, it won't arouse people's suspicion."

It feels like a small miracle to find out who did the anonymous threatening letter.

After hearing this, Mouri Kogoro thought for a moment, then looked at Aoki Song and asked: "Do you think there is something going on here?"

"Since he is not deliberately hyping it up, then he did not write, direct and act in this scene. If not, then someone really sent a threatening letter to Nanjo Hayato.

But Uncle Mori, when you were guarding the gate, you were scolded by Hayato Nanjo, Mrs. Nanjo was also scolded, and he drove you away. This is not the attitude that someone who receives a threatening letter should have."

This is a death-seeking attitude.

Mouri Kogoro pondered for a moment and then said: "It's indeed strange. Even if a normal person doesn't believe this, he or she will always worry about what might happen. Faced with the kindness of his family, even if he thinks it's making a fuss, he won't stop it."

"So, I have a suspicion in my heart, but there is no evidence." Aokisong said.

After hearing this, Mouri Kogoro quickly asked: "What suspicion?"

"This is indeed not a prank, but someone avenging the dead actor. Nanjo Hayato has a guilty conscience, or he is a brave artist. He should be pretty good after watching the movie. Maybe he wants to lure that person out,

That’s why I didn’t call the police and drove you away.”

Aoki Song then sighed and said: "Nanjo Hayato is not cooperating. The Metropolitan Police Department is already off work at this time. I can't find out the situation of the original case. I can only look at the situation here now. I hope it is my reasoning.

wrong."

Mouri Kogoro nodded when he heard this, he naturally knew the situation of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The previous case has been closed. If Qingmusong doesn't have any new evidence, or that case involves another case that Qingmusong is handling, he will have to look at the files for no reason. This clearly shows that he is responsible for the criminal investigation at that time.

If you question it, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some people.

Aoki Song and Mouri Kogoro were muttering here, while Conan, who was following Mourilan to buy a drink, walked to the drink vending machine at the bottom of the building.

After Mao Lilan asked Conan which drink he wanted, he took out coins and started to buy it.

After Conan ordered the drinks he and Chaoyang liked, he began to look around subconsciously.

Not to mention, the sharp-eyed Conan really got an unexpected reward: "Ah, Sister Xiaolan, the person sitting over there is Ms. Satomi Yoshino, Mr. Nanjo's agent!"

After hearing this, Mao Lilan turned around and looked over. In the cafe across the road, the person sitting was none other than Rimi Yoshino. She said with some surprise: "Really, why hasn't she gone back yet?"

Conan also said to himself in confusion, "What is she doing there?"

Mao Lilan thought for a while and guessed: "Maybe she wants to pay attention to the situation in the office from there. I think she must be worried about Mr. Nanjo, so she hasn't gone back yet."

"Oh!" Conan glanced at Satomi Yoshino, who was opposite him, and he was unconvinced about Mao Lilan's statement. From his years of reasoning experience, he always felt that things were not that simple.

"Okay, Conan, let's go!" Mao Lilan said while walking back with the drink.

"Okay!" Conan glanced at Yoshino Rimi a few more times, then turned around and left with Mao Lilan.

Aoki Song took the drink bought by Maori Lan and took a sip, then continued to wait downstairs with Maori Kogoro.

Waiting until 10 o'clock in the evening, the so-called Death Array still did not appear, and the lights in Nanjo Hayato's office upstairs were always on, which meant that Nanjo Hayato was still in the office.

"Mr. Nanjo is the only one left at this time." Mouri Kogoro said with some emotion as he looked at the lights upstairs that were always on.

I thought that being a celebrity looked very glamorous and that it was an easy and lucrative job, but I didn’t expect that it would not be easy after I came into contact with it!

In fact, it is not easy to work in any profession. It’s just that the ratio of effort and reward is higher than that of many industries.

The fact that Neon's star actors are so hardworking and hard-working has something to do with Neon's entertainment industry ecosystem where demand exceeds supply, rather than the situation of the crew and other actors after the capital invasion of later generations.

Neon shoots only one top TV series and movie every year, only in single digits. For example, NHK TV's Dahe drama only shoots one movie a year. No matter how good the ratings are, there is only one movie.

But there are a lot of actors in Neon. With so many people vying for one, the winner naturally doesn't dare to be unprofessional, nor dare to ask for a high price. There are actors out there who want to act for free and even with money. And they have to work hard in private.

Only by working hard can you win the next competition for resources.

For someone like Hayato Nanjo who runs his own company, he still has to spend some time and energy managing the company, which is naturally not easy.

Seeing that it was 10 o'clock on the hour, the photographers who stayed here were also preparing to ask the leaders whether they should continue to follow this matter or evacuate.

But after looking around, a staff member said in surprise: "Director Ohno?"

One of the work boys quickly said: "He just said he wanted to go to the bathroom."

The staff member was dissatisfied and said: "Why did it take so long?"

The work boy quickly said: "Then let me go over and take a look." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go to the bathroom, but the next second, his expression suddenly changed and his whole body became stiff, "Then, that's..."

Sensing something strange about the work boy, Mouri Kogoro asked: "What's going on?"

Everyone also looked towards him, and then looked in the direction he was looking. Their eyes widened and their pupils shrank for a moment.

I saw a man wrapped in a black cloak standing on the sculpture in the small square. When I looked closer, I saw that under the black hat was a skull with two strands of white hair exposed on both sides. At first glance, it was scary.

But if you take a closer look, this is the look of the Death Array in the movie.

"It's inside the Death Formation!!!" Conan, who was quite courageous, was the first to react.

"Camera, move the camera over here!" A staff member reacted and shouted immediately.

At this time, Aoki Song had already rushed over, followed by Mouri Kogoro, Conan and others.

Seeing the opponent jumping down from the sculpture and preparing to escape, Aoki Song saw that he was still some distance away from the opponent, so he made a decisive decision and immediately took out the lighter from his trouser pocket and threw it out.

Then, according to Ke Xue's law, when the lighter landed in the "Death Formation", it successfully hit the opponent's calf.

Unfortunately, the lighter was too small. Although it hit the opponent's calf, it did not injure him. It only slowed down the opponent's speed, and that was all.

And then... this person dressed as a Death Array jumped into the jungle nearby and successfully escaped.

"Damn it, he ran away!" Mouri Kogoro said angrily when he saw this.

"Oops, uncle, Mr. Nanjo's place..." Conan said with a sudden change of expression.

"It's not good!" Mouri Kogoro's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly turned around and ran towards the building.

Conan even yelled and ran away.

Everyone quickly ran to the entrance of the building and bumped into Satomi Yoshino, who was running over in a hurry.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri subconsciously asked: "Miss Satomi, what's going on?"

Yoshino Rimi said with a panicked look: "When I was at the burger restaurant over there just now, I saw the Death Array running into this building."

"What did you say!" Mouri Kogoro was shocked when he heard this!

At this time, a gunshot suddenly came from upstairs.

"Damn it!" Mouri Kogoro didn't have time to think too much. He hurried into the building and pressed the elevator.

Aoki Song did not catch up immediately at this time, but said to Mao Lilan and Conan with a cautious look: "Xiaolan, Conan, you go to the other side immediately and take my phone to call the police.

Then pretend to be a passerby, and then keep an eye on this person to see if anyone suddenly runs out. Remember the appearance of the other person and how safe they are when they run. The other person has a gun in his hand, so don't stay here."

After saying that, he handed his mobile phone to Mao Lilan. Aokisong didn't wait for Mao Lilan and Conan to answer. Just when he turned around and was about to walk into the building, the lights upstairs suddenly turned on.

When the light came down, Qing Mu Song subconsciously looked upstairs and saw a figure disappearing from the window.

Seeing this, Qingmusong frowned.

"That's..." Mao Lilan said looking at the window upstairs in surprise.

"It's the murderer!" Upon seeing this, Conan immediately ran towards the building, and Aoki Song quickly followed.

However, when Mao Lilan saw this, he hesitated and did not follow. Instead, he took Qingmusong's mobile phone and went to the other side of the road with the host lady, and then called the police.

Conan and Aoki Song ran into the building and soon met Mouri Kogoro and others in the elevator. They were still waiting for the elevator.

"Uncle, the murderer is still on the seventh floor. I saw a shadow just now." Conan spoke quickly and told the story before he even ran to Kogoro Mori.

"Okay!" Mouri Kogoro responded, indicating that he understood.

Just at this time, the elevator arrived on the first floor, and everyone hurried in.
