Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

"Bandage..." Xingchen muttered. Bandages are generally only used by injured people.

Maori Kogoro was also mumbling something, and suddenly he realized, "Mr. Band, yes, Mr. Bando."

"Well, it will be much easier if we can find someone with the last name Bandō among the invited guests."

The corner of Xingchen's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of speechlessness. What kind of homonym is this?

"Heiji, is this guy really the sleeping Kogoro?" Inspector Otaki asked in a low voice as he walked beside Hattori Heiji.

"Ahaha, I think he's probably a little drunk today." Hattori Heiji explained.

He then suggested, “In my opinion, we will study the information about his death later, so it would be better to investigate whether there is any smoke reaction first.”

"That's true. We need to filter all the guests today..."

"The three people who have been on standby in the room also need to be checked." Hattori Heiji said.

"Hey, Sister Xiaolan, I want to ask you something." Xingchen pulled Mao Lilan's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "What are the general gestures when eating sushi?"

Xingchen usually just picks up the food and eats it, so he is not very clear about the hand gestures when eating sushi.

But why did he ask this? Simply because the victim once mentioned that he liked eating sushi very much.

Maybe the code is related to this.

"Well...it seems to be like this." Mao Lilan nodded in response. Although she didn't know Xingchen asked this, she also roughly compared a gesture.

Xingchen made an excuse, saying roughly that he was just curious.

He then walked up to Conan and whispered, "Conan, the murderer should be among these three."

"That's possible. They have no reason to kill this reporter." Conan was stunned for a moment after hearing Xingchen's words, and said with a smile.

"Why?!" Xingchen asked puzzledly.

Conan also understood what Xingchen said, and quickly explained: "Because they all won the lawsuit against the reporter and proved their innocence."

".....Is that so." Xingchen watched Conan turn around and leave. He always felt that Conan was a little strange now.

The moment he turned his back to Xingchen, the smile on Conan's face disappeared and he fell into a long silence.

after an hour.

Inside the hotel.

Police are also conducting smoke tests on guests present.

Kogoro Mori specifically stopped guests coming out of the door and asked them if their surname was Bando, but they all denied it.

Hattori Heiji saw Inspector Otaki coming out and asked, "How is it going? Did you find any reaction to the gunpowder smoke?"

"Not yet." Inspector Otaki responded.

"So, what happened to the three of them?" Hattori Heiji said as he looked at the three people next to him. He saw that Ray Curtis was yawning and looked a little listless.

"I've asked people to check just now, but there was no response." Inspector Otaki also looked at the three people and said.

"Did you search them?" Hattori Heiji asked in a low voice.

"I just did a simple body search on them, but the managers around them were very talkative at the time." Inspector Otaki said, "Or do you really believe Mr. Maori's statement that the three of them might have killed the reporter?"

"Yeah, I think so too." Hattori Heiji looked at them and continued to explain: "Rica has long been suspected of tampering in the game, so she was able to retire with a reputation of having no defeats."

"Lei was also exiled from European football due to suspected drug use, and Mike divorced his wife because of an affair."

"But now he has married a Japanese wife and is living a happy life."

"In short, their scandal was fabricated by that reporter from the beginning."

Inspector Otaki asked, "But how did you know that he made it up, Heiji?"

Conan suddenly explained, using the same explanation he had just given to Xingchen.

This made Hattori Heiji feel strange, as Kudo's performance this time was completely different from before.

the other side.

"What the hell? A murder case ruined a good cocktail party." Maori Kogoro didn't ask the questions he needed to ask. He sighed helplessly and said, "I guess no one will be able to win the autographed souvenirs from these three people now."

When the murder just happened, the plan was to hold a lottery after giving the guests a surprise.

"Xiaolan, you're so lucky to have gotten the autograph before the incident." Yuanshan Heye said enviously.

"Yeah." Mao Lilan smiled and was about to share it with Conan and Xingchen.

She suddenly realized that the two were missing, and Hattori Heiji was no longer confused and asked, "By the way, why haven't I seen Conan, Xiaochen and Hattori?"

Toyama Kazuha recalled, "Ah, Conan and Heiji have been following Officer Otaki since a while ago. They are probably helping with the investigation."

"Are they helping to investigate the case? Conan is really something." Ran Mouri said worriedly.

"As for Xiaochen, he seemed to be looking for something outside just now. He said he wanted to eat sushi. So I took him to the sushi restaurant in this hotel." Kogoro Mouri shrugged helplessly.

"Hey, is it okay to leave Xiaochen there alone?" asked Mao Lilan.

"No problem, let's go over and eat later." Kogoro Mouri waved his hand and said.

"Xiaolan, you don't have to worry so much. The gun has been found and the murderer will be caught soon." Yuanshan Heye comforted.

"Is that so?" Mao Lilan said after hesitating for a moment.

"Of course, after all, we now have Hattori Heiji to assist in the case." Toyama Kazuha said proudly.

"Ha, yeah." Ran Mouri understood her feelings. After all, she felt the same when Kudo Shinichi was around.

Inside the sushi restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.

"Little boy, what do you want?" A waiter served Xingchen.

Xingchen looked at the sign on the wall and recalled what Conan had said before.

"Because Lei was originally a midfielder, but in a World Cup match, both goalkeepers retired..."

"Lei played in this situation. In a critical situation, he blocked several balls from the opponent and qualified for the final. Since then, he has been using the previous number as a goalkeeper..."

After thinking for a while, he looked up at the waiter and said, "I want a number eight sushi set."

"Oh, kid, you really know how to eat. The set meal number eight is the best set meal in our restaurant." The waiter gave a thumbs up and smiled, then shouted: "One 'band' set meal."

"Hi."

"..." Xingchen narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, it was indeed like this, the bandage did not refer to the injured person.

It's the sushi set number eight.
