Everyone returned to the hotel.

"Kamaitachi... appears again?" Kazuha asked in fear.

"Is it true? Heiji?" Xiaolan hid behind Luxin.

"How did you know?" Hattori was a little surprised.

Lu Xin calmly stated: "The funny-looking police officer came over just now, and he told us."

Lu Xin narrowed her eyes in disdain and looked at Shancuncao who looked panicked: "Look, that guy has started again."

"The suspect is most likely a kamaitachi...!!" Yamamura Cao waved his fingers and wrote quickly on the board.

Baijiu sighed, "It's just that a fool pretending to be a Kamaitachi appeared."

"But, Mr. Ichiyu," Xiaolan retorted, "Isn't it also Kamaitachi who messed up this room we decorated?"

Their pupils widened: "The fluorescent light suddenly broke, and all the balloons we decorated burst!"

"BB bullets?" Lu Xin squatted on the floor and picked up a bullet that was about the size of a gunpowder: "There is a BB bullet dropped on the tatami."

"Come to think of it, Madam Boss, your late husband often played survival games when he was alive, right?"

“Yes…” The proprietress was still a little shocked.

"Where is his air gun now?" asked Heiji.

The proprietress recalled: “My husband’s belongings, except for the important items, are all in the warehouse.”

"If that's the case, then the murderer should have taken out an air gun from the warehouse and shot through the paper sliding door, right?"

Heiji inched forward, his chin resting on his hand as he pondered, "Besides, there's a piece of paper lifted up on the sliding door."

"But there were about 10 balloons, and they all burst in an instant! How is it possible to do such a thing in the dark?"

Heiji retorted to Kazuha: "Only 10, if you shoot more you will eventually hit it."

"I think the balloons were not popped by BBs, because I took a quick look and only saw about three of them on the ground."

Suddenly, Baijiu froze in place. He smelled a strange smell.

Lu Xin asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay." Baijiu held her somewhat cold hands: "Don't you smell anything?"

Hattori and Conan entered the dark room.

He Ye reminded: "Be careful! There are broken pieces of fluorescent lamps on the ground."

"Got it." Conan took out his cell phone to illuminate.

Unexpectedly, I touched it by mistake. I don’t know if it was intentional or sincere, but I happened to press the recording switch.

“You’re going to do this to my Kazuha—!”

Hattori was quick to take the button back and pressed the pause button to calm his pounding heart.

"What? What happened to me?" He Ye was confused.

Heiji smiled and explained, "I'm not talking about Japanese leaves, I'm talking about lotus leaves. I just said that this smells like the fragrance of lotus leaves."

Then, his face immediately darkened, and he whispered in Conan's ear: "Kudo Shinichi! Watch out or I'll kill you!"

Xiao Xiong tried to ease the awkward atmosphere: "This is not the scent of lotus leaves, this is the smell of toilet or detergent, and there is something like rain on my body."

He Ye agreed: "Yes, yes, yes! I was also wet! The window was obviously not open, it's really strange..."

Dalang put his hands on his waist and said, "In short, at least we can be sure that the murderer is definitely not among us."

"Because when the old man shouted, we were all at the door of this room."

"But..." Baijiu bit his lip, "Just by that cry, can you tell it's the old man's voice?"

Dalang remained calm: "I just felt that it might be him, so I asked the boss lady for confirmation."

The proprietress looked gloomy and lowered her head: "Because I have heard him make similar sounds before..."

"When? Where?"

She thought quickly and recalled, "Before, when a TV station came to interview us, our hotel was providing foot massage services to the guests staying there."

"But there was a TV camera there, and the guests were reluctant to come out and demonstrate. Finally, we had no choice."

"We had to ask the old man to come out for a massage. The sound he made when he screamed in pain was very similar to the sound just now."

Shancuncao raised his hand: "You should have recorded that program, right?"

"Yes, there are. You should be able to find it if you go to the office."

"Go and lead the way. Maybe you are the key to solving the case." Dalang held her shoulders and trotted in the corridor.

"Ms. Lu Xin, thank you for taking care of Ye Xiaolan and the others! Thank you!"

After saying that, Hattori disappeared from her sight in a flash.

"Really!" He Ye sighed tiredly, "I wanted to ask Xiaolan something, but this sickle-itachi messed it up."

"What do you want to ask?"

Lu Xin had a look of enjoying herself and looked at He Ye curiously.

Kazuha blushed, "Actually... he said that on the Ebisu Bridge in Osaka, which is famous for picking up girls."

Kazuha imitated Hattori's tone at the time: "What do you want to do to my lovely Kazuha? Be careful or I will kill you!"

Lu Xin smiled but said nothing.

Xiaolan instantly perked up and asked anxiously, "Did Hattori really say that to the investigator?"

"What I said may be a little exaggerated...but that's about it."

Lu Xin pursed her lips: "So what happened next? How did that Osaka kid explain it?"

Kazuha pouted: "At that time, he seemed to have cleverly brushed it off, but, I don't think Heiji would think of me as..."

"What do you think it is?" Xiaolan's face was full of impatience.

He Ye slumped his shoulders: "You don't really think of me as your subordinate, do you?"

"what?"

This answer was so confusing to the steady Lu Xin.

They narrowed their eyes and looked at He Ye in confusion.

He Ye pointed out: "Think about it! Isn't it that the boss in the costume dramas always say this?"

He Ye explained to them seriously: "Don't attack my lovely subordinates."

Lu Xin covered her mouth, stroked her delicate face, and smiled faintly: "He Ye, you are really cute."

Xiaolan put her hands on Kazuha's shoulders and looked at her firmly: "Kazuha! I don't think Hattori is referring to his subordinates!"

"Then...what does that mean?" He Ye blushed.

"It's just the answer you have in mind."
