Conan's Almighty Extraction

On another weekend, Mori Kogoro was invited by the organizer of Tianxiayiye Festival to go to Saitama County to promote the upcoming festival.

Xiaolan wanted to see this relatively famous festival, and Shiraiwa Maha's new novel also happened to write about the scene of the festival, and planned to collect some related materials, so after discussing with everyone, they decided to spend this weekend in Saitama County.

After arriving in Saitama County by car, the organizer arranged everyone in a hotel called [Barrel Mountain], and then left with Mori Kogoro to carry out publicity work related to the festival.

In the evening, Kogoro Mori returned to the hotel after finishing the publicity work. After dinner in the hotel, everyone changed into the yukata provided by the hotel and went to participate in the first night festival under heaven.

The Tianxia First Night Festival is a large-scale sacrificial event held at a place called Sanyue Mountain in Saitama Prefecture.

After the ceremony begins, the staff will ignite the pre-arranged igniters, and burn the three characters [天, 下, 一] on the three mountains in order to pray for the highest harvest in the world this autumn.

Looking at the crowded crowd at the event site, Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "There are so many people, it's really lively."

Mori Kogoro, who was a little tired from work, was also affected by the atmosphere at the scene, and said with a smile: "Yeah, living in a free hotel and seeing lively festivals, it's not bad once in a while."

Bai Yanzhenyu's eyes were sharp, and he noticed the first character [天] lit up on a certain mountain in the distance, and quickly pointed there to remind him: "Look, the festival has begun."

Everyone looked over and saw that under the light of the fire, the whole mountain seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint red light, which was very beautiful.

Xiaolan took out her mobile phone, took a few photos of the word [天], and exclaimed, "Although it's only made of bonfires, it looks really spectacular."

"It is said that after the three characters are all lit, the entire Sanyue Mountain will be shrouded in red light, just like the Flame Mountain described in Huaguo Westward Journey."

Shiraiwa Maha also took a few photos, and then told the metaphors he heard from other tourists on the way.

"どうやって?こうbaiやって, また? ほら? Jun~"

At this moment, the pleasant mobile phone rang, Shiraiwa Maha glanced at the name of the caller displayed on it, and said to Mori Kogoro: "Uncle, I'm going to answer the call, you go to the event venue first."

"Well, be careful not to get lost." Mori Kogoro told Shiraiwa Maha, and walked forward with Xiaolan and Conan.

After they left, Bai Yanzhenyu pressed the answer button and asked with a smile: "Moxi Moxi, sister Meiyue, what can I do for you?"

On the other end of the phone, the voice of the beauty editor came: "Mr. Zhenyu, I'm sorry to disturb you so late. Our company is going to hold an offline signing event next week to promote your new work. I don't know if you have time join?"

"Signing event, yes, what day is it?" Bai Yanmao has a lot of free time, and when he heard that it was an offline signing event, he immediately agreed.

"Tuesday to Friday is fine, it depends on which day is convenient for you."

For well-known writers like Shiraiwa Maha, Leijian Bunko still gives a considerable right to choose independently, and will not directly arrange various publicity activities by the company like ordinary new writers.

"Then Thursday." In order to allow the company more time to prepare, Shiraiwa Maha chose to hold the signing event on Thursday.

"Okay, Masaru-sensei, then it's settled. I'll pick you up at 07:30 on Thursday morning."

After discussing the matter of holding the signing event, Shiraiwa Maha hung up the phone, and was not in a hurry to catch up with Mori Kogoro and others who were going forward. They wandered around the festival market slowly, tasting various delicacies with unique flavors.

After playing for a while, Shiraiwa Maha started to speed up, and soon caught up with the three of Mori Kogoro, only to find that Xiaolan was taking pictures of a strange man with a camera.

"I'm back." Shirayan Maha walked up to the three of them, and whispered to Conan who was holding a bunny balloon: "Conan, what are you doing?"

Conan played carelessly with the children's balloon that Xiaolan bought for him, and explained casually: "That person's name is Shijing Xuanyi, he is a writer, and he is collecting customs records of festivals in various places, please ask sister Xiaolan to help him Take some pictures."

"Oh, I'm still a colleague." Bai Yanzhenyu nodded clearly. He has done a lot of things like going out to collect materials before.

Soon, Xiaolan took photos for Shii Xuanyi, and as a thank you, Shii Xuanyi gave Xiaolan a book written by him, and his former pseudonym was Imai Kotoshi. Things have been said.

"Eh? Kogo Imai?" After hearing Sei Shinichi's words, Mori Kogoro looked a little weird, and questioned in surprise, "Isn't that the pen name used by the great writer Tomogo Imatake when he debuted?"

Sei Shinichi seemed to be accustomed to other people's misunderstandings, and explained with some embarrassment: "I am old friends with Imatake Tomo, and the pseudonym Kanai Kotosu is the pen name we used together when we cooperated in the past."

"I see. I didn't expect Mr. Shii to have cooperated with Mr. Imatake." After listening to Shinichi Sei's explanation, everyone knew this matter that most people didn't know.

"Okay, thank you for your help, I have to collect some other materials, so let's go."

Shi Jingxuan bid farewell to everyone, and when he was about to leave, a police officer rushed to the scene and stopped him.

"Hi, I'm a police officer from Saitama Prefecture, my surname is Henggou."

Police officer Henggou showed his police ID to everyone, and asked Shinichi Sei, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Shinichi Sei?"

"Yes, Mr. Police, what can I do for you?" Shi Jingxuan nodded his head, looking confused.

After confirming the identity of Shinichi Sei, Police Officer Henggou said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sei, there is a case about Mr. Tomo Imatake, and I would like to ask you for advice."

Hearing that his friend was involved, Shi Jingxuan's face changed, and he asked anxiously: "Mr. Police, did something happen to Imatake?"

Officer Henggou observed Sei Shinichi's expression, but found nothing unusual in it, and then said: "Mr. Imataketomo has been killed, and he is in the barrel mountain hotel where you stayed with him. inside."

"What?! Imatake is dead, how is this possible? Wasn't I fine before I left the hotel?" Sei Shinichi looked at police officer Henggou in shock, apparently unable to accept the news.

Officer Henggou frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shijing, I will not joke about this kind of thing. As someone who may be related to the case, please come with me."

"Okay." Shijing Xuanyi did not refuse, and left with Police Officer Henggou.

Under the secret urging of curiosity and Conan, Shiraiwa Maha said insincerely: "Uncle, isn't the Barrel Mountain Hotel also a place for us to stay? Why don't we go and have a look together, so that people in Saitama County can see it I have seen the power of the famous detective Mori Kogoro."

"Hahahaha, that's exactly what I said. With my detective Mori Kogoro, I can find the murderer in minutes. Let's go, and we will go back to the hotel."

After hearing this, Kogoro Mori was in a happy mood, and agreed to Shiraiwa Maha's proposal, and took everyone back to the hotel, preparing to solve the murder case.
