Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

Xingchen finished the pasta on the plate and looked at Hattori Heiji with half-moon eyes. He didn't know the jersey numbers of these players.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Mao Lilan ran over with the jersey in her arms, and then put it on the table with a happy look on her face.

"Really?" Maori Kogoro said with his hands in his pockets, "Why are you asking for an autograph for that guy running around everywhere?"

"That's right, that's right." Xingchen nodded repeatedly and muttered.

When Conan saw Xingchen, he smiled secretly and said, you just envy me.

"It's not your turn to interfere, Dad." After saying that, Mao Lilan looked down at Xingchen and Conan. Seeing Xingchen's look, she took out a handkerchief from her bag.

She helped Xingchen wipe his mouth and said, "Xiaochen, why do you eat everything?"

"Hey, isn't this delicious?" Xingchen said, touching his head embarrassedly.

After Mao Lilan helped wipe it, she looked at Conan, put the handkerchief on the table, took out a ticket and handed it to him, saying, "By the way, Conan."

"This is Mr. Lei's ticket to participate in the special competition at Nagai Gymnasium tomorrow. He just gave it to me secretly. You should go." Mao Lilan said with great understanding to Conan.

"Of course I'll go." Conan took the ticket and said with a flush of excitement on his face.

"He is quite generous." Hattori Heiji exclaimed.

"But they want me to do one more thing." Mao Lilan took out the walkie-talkie and said, "Look at this."

"Walkie-talkie?" Hattori Heiji repeated when he saw the item in her hand.

Xingchen and Conan were not quite sure what kind of help Ran Mouri was providing them.

"He said they have a surprise for everyone." Mao Lilan said with a smile.

"Surprise?" Everyone waited until the party was about to end, and Kogoro Mouri and his group walked towards the place Ray Katis mentioned.

Of course, some guests saw this scene and followed curiously and came outside.

"Mr. Lei, no problem, I heard you." Mao Lilan said into the walkie-talkie while looking at the flashing lights outside the hotel.

"Mr. Rika, it's not there, it's a little to the left." Ran Mouri said, looking at the place where the light in the room above was on.

"I finally figured it out. They wanted to use lights to project the hotel's name, K, on ​​the windows of the hotel rooms that were not open for business." Kogoro Mouri said with sudden enlightenment as he watched the light gradually turn into an English letter.

"In this way, the guests coming out of the hotel will definitely be pleasantly surprised," explained Hattori Heiji.

Xingchen thought about it for a while, wondering if this could be used for advertising? After all, this was already an enlarged sign.

"But they don't have to do it themselves." Yuanshan Heye asked puzzledly.

"They said it was the idea of ​​the three of them, so they wanted to do it themselves," explained Mao Lilan.

"Oh."

"If any of the three of them goes outside, it will cause a commotion, so they asked us to help see if they can form the letter 'K'." Hattori Heiji roughly guessed what they meant.

Mao Lilan heard the words on the intercom and quickly responded: "K's first room is not lit yet."

After saying that, she saw that the curtains of a room in the middle of K were drawn and said quickly, "Mr. Mike, could you please open the curtains?"

Then the lights on the top floor were turned off. Mao Lilan said, "Mr. Rika's place is also fine."

And Ray Katis's words came over the intercom.

"Xiaolan, are the lights on?"

Mao Lilan shifted her gaze to the light in the room at the far right corner and responded, "Hey, it's on."

"Great, now 'K' is done." Hattori Heiji said excitedly, and the audience around him also waved and shouted excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

And accompanied by the sound of glass breaking, the fragments fell downstairs due to gravity.

Xingchen saw pieces of broken glass falling one meter away in front of him, and immediately looked up at the place where the glass was broken upstairs.

If he heard correctly, it was the sound of gunfire.

The other guests also exclaimed.

"Why is the glass broken?!" said Mao Lilan in surprise.

"And there were gunshots." Kogoro Mouri obviously heard it as well.

The three people upstairs also opened the window and looked outside, and they shouted at the same time, "What's wrong?" "What happened?" "Is that a gunshot?"

Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth and ran into the building. He planned to go up and see what was going on.

Seeing this, Conan and Xingchen followed.

"Wait, Conan, Xiaochen." Ran Mao Li shouted.

"He Ye, tell the three of them not to move around in the room!" Hattori Heiji ran a few steps and turned around to give instructions.

"Huh?!" Yuanshan Heye asked in confusion.

"Wait, wait for me!" Kogoro Mouri also reacted and ran after them.

Several staff members saw them and hurried over. They had also heard the noise and were still confused, but Hattori Heiji's explanation made them follow.

Several people came to the door of the room with broken glass, and Hattori Heiji pushed the door open.

The three of them saw the reporter lying on the ground. Hattori Heiji recognized him at a glance and said, "This guy is the reporter from the newspaper just now."

"He was shot to death by this gun." Hattori Heiji walked up to the dead man and squatted down, and saw a pistol lying quietly on the ground not far from the dead man.

"That's right, there is still a hint of gunpowder smoke from the muzzle of the gun." Xingchen also squatted down to check it out, but he was muttering in his heart that he had encountered an incident just by coming out like this.

Conan seemed to have discovered something. He reached out and pushed the deceased slightly, and saw that the deceased was holding the belt.

Could this be a death message?

Immediately afterwards, Kogoro Mouri hurried over. When he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately stepped forward to check the corpse.

"Hurry, call the police." Kogoro Mouri shouted to the staff at the door.

Twenty minutes later.

The one who is about to rush to the scene is Inspector Otaki~!

After some investigation, Inspector Otaki squatted in front of the dead man and said slowly, "The person who was killed tonight was Ed Michael, a newspaper reporter currently stationed in Chicago, USA. He was 48 years old. He was shot in the chest and almost died on the spot."

"The gun used by the murderer was a Smith & Wesson revolver, and there were signs of a slight struggle at the scene. He must have struggled for a very short time after being shot."

Inspector Otaki glanced at Hattori Heiji and shouted, "Heiji, do you know when we heard the gunshot?"

"Yes, it was around 8:05 pm." Hattori Heiji nodded in response, pointing at Maori Kogoro and others behind him and continued, "I was outside the hotel with Kazuha and the others when we heard the gunshots, and then we saw the glass in this room shatter."
