Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 28 What Looks Like an Inquiry Lead Is Actually Gossiping
Kanedaichi and Hiroki Kakutani discussed it, and it was decided that Hiroki Kakutani would keep watch in the first half of the night, and from [-]:[-] in the morning, Kanedaichi and Hiroki would keep watch until dawn and the rain stopped.

After tossing all night, it was actually close to midnight at this time. Jin Tianyi Er was tired and hungry, but he dared not eat anything. What if the bandage monster sneaked into the villa and poisoned him, although he also knew that the possibility was slim, But he didn't dare to take the risk.

I can only rejoice in this good figure once again!

Kakutani Hiroki was in a very depressed mood, sitting on a chair and fiddling with his V8 without saying a word.

Kindaichiji was lying on the bed, actually unable to sleep at all.

He is now looking forward to the time to pass quickly, and tomorrow will come quickly, so that they can go down the mountain, and then insist on another day, no matter what, they have to enter the script again and get some good things for self-defense.

Before, he wasted a thousand reputation points to draw a bronze-level prize, hoping to try his luck and get something to save his life, but the result was of course not satisfactory.

In exchange for ten raffles were two pieces of chewed gum, a doodled high school second-grade math textbook, three flowers (one morning glory, two lavenders), a compass, a wig, and a clown hat and a love letter from a manga lover.

There is nothing special in it, except for the compass, which is also useful, it is basically useless.

It is worth mentioning that the graffitied math textbook has the words "Kindaichi" written on it, but Kindaichi doesn't remember that he has such a textbook; the other one is the love letter, which should be written for the previous script The girl named Nanase Miyuki.

Nanase Miyuki left a deep impression on him at the beginning, because her personality and appearance are very good, and the voice of the spatial voice is also the same as hers.Maybe she's a big deal in the screenplay world.

Anyway, he didn't get anything usable, so he had to spend two days trembling.

Oh no, it's a day now.

It was past twelve o'clock, and Kindaichiji still didn't fall asleep.

"Mr. Kakutani?" Kindaichiji wanted to talk to Kakutani Hiroki, but the surrounding was too quiet, and he was really a little scared.

"Are you still asleep?" Hiroki Kadotani was watching the video shot by his V8 camera.

"Can't sleep..."

"It's normal, only that ruthless guy Ota can fall asleep when encountering such a thing..."

"Can I chat with you for a while?"

"Why, is the big detective going to start talking?"

"That's not true, I just want to ask... this... your relationship with Tomokako Ikeda." Kazuto Kinda thought of a question casually.

"You doubt me?"

"No, how is that possible? The bandage man is not among us. I just think that after Ms. Ikeda died, you seem to be more sad than others."

"Really? Even you can see it. Yes, I like Tomokako, but it's useless now. Have you ever felt the pain of the woman you love dying in your arms? Especially... Such a cruel way of death!" Kadotani Hiroki gritted his teeth and said, "Although she has a poisonous mouth, bad speech, and a little temper, she is really a good person. In fact, she turned out to be a A person who has no self-confidence always feels that what he writes is not good, but he never thought of giving up. At that time, we all had great dreams, but it was difficult to realize them. We all wanted to give up many times. Only She never gave up and led us forward. I still remember that there was a school performance. At that time, our club was short of people and we were short of manpower. We were about to lose this opportunity, but only with her persistent efforts, I never gave up lightly. I will never forget the sweat we shed together and the tears of joy after our successful curtain call. At that time, she was radiant and dazzling, like a high-ranking goddess. How wonderful it was at that time· ·····.We are all unable to stick to our original dream due to various encounters and pressures, but I never doubted that she would give up this path. Now she finally succeeded, and she realized it for us A dream. But why, why did this happen to her!"

With tears in Kakutani Hiroki's eyes, he let out a low and suppressed roar.

His emotions burst out in an instant, and even Kindaichiji was a little moved.

"I'm sorry, I just laughed." After a long silence, Hiroki Kadotani wiped away tears secretly: "I heard that you are a famous detective no less than [Sleeping Kogoro], so I want to ask you, you must Find out who killed Tomokako!"

"Don't worry, I will do my best..."

Kinda Kazuo was complaining in his heart. He was not a famous detective, but he was just talking in a hurry. He had to say something nice to comfort Hiroki Kakutani. If he really wanted to solve the case, he had to find Conan.

"Mr. Kindaichi, I think about it now. You must have some clues, otherwise you wouldn't ask me questions. Just ask. For Chikako, I will tell you everything!"

Jin Tianyi said that he was just idle and couldn't sleep, and curiously wanted to ask the gossip about the members of their club, where could there be any clues, isn't this another fucking duck!

Wait, when it comes to catching ducks on the shelves...
Kindaichi remembered his Persis magic mirror. The last time he relied on the power of the magic mirror to lock on the murderer and was forced to drive the duck to the shelves. This time the magic mirror also reacted!
when are you coming?

Kindaichiji remembered that it was afternoon tea at that time, and everyone was enjoying themselves, looking happy. As a result, the magic mirror sounded an alarm at that time, indicating that there were extremely opposite emotions at that time.

What was the situation?

correct!

"Cyan Kingdom"!
At that time, everyone was congratulating Tomokako Ikeda's movie "The Blue Kingdom" for being a hit, but one of the people present showed extremely opposite negative emotions at this time.

Is it jealousy, anger, hatred or curse?
Who will this person be?
It's Masaru Ota who pretends to be personable and eccentric, but Ryoichi Takahashi who is friendly and smiling, Hiroki Kadotani who is mature and affectionate but may not love him, and the organizer of the party who is like a lady like a lady Eye beauty Suzuki Ayako?
All four of them are suspects!

But what does this have to do with the case? The murderer is obviously a bandage weirdo and murderer outside, so he can't catch the murderer based on this.

Looking at the man in front of him full of anger and expectation, Kazuto Kinda was really embarrassed to say that he was just gossip.

"This... I do... have some... clues, but I'm not sure yet, so I can't tell you."

"I understand that all detectives are like this, and don't reveal the answer until the last moment."

"Is that so? That's easy."

"What did you say?"

"Ah... I mean, since you're willing to cooperate, that's great."

What do you want to ask?

By the way, didn't you still have some doubts about Atsuko Nonoguchi before, why don't you take the opportunity to ask.

"What do you think of Atsuko Nonoguchi?"

"Tonzi?"

"Yes, Miss Nonoguchi committed suicide two years ago. Why did she commit suicide at that time?"

"After you said that, yes, why did Atsuko commit suicide?"

"do not you know?"

"I don't know. There was no sign at all before. I see. Do you think there is something wrong with Atsuko's suicide?"

"Yes... a little bit, but it's been two years, maybe..."

"It's okay, that day was very special, and I can still vividly remember that scene."

"What kind of special law?"

Kakutani Hiroki recalled it with a nostalgic look: "I remember that day very clearly, it happened to be the day after Tomokako won the award..."

"Award? What award?"

"It's the screenwriting award that the film magazine "Nippon Eika" that I work for now selects every year. This award is very authoritative in Japan. At that time, Tomokako won the Best Newcomer Award for "The Blue Kingdom" and became popular with it. "

"Cyan Kingdom"? !

Why is it related to this work again!
"The people in our club were very happy that day, and we met at the club office to gather and then went to Ayako's big hotel to hold a celebration." Kadotani Hiroki went on to say: "That day after school, we walked to the club office together. At that time, only Atsuko I don’t know why I couldn’t get in touch. Everyone thought he went to the club office in advance. I remember Zhijiazi said that what she was looking forward to most was to celebrate this special day with Atsuko…”

"Wait, why did Ms. Ikeda specifically say that she is looking forward to celebrating with Ms. Nonoguchi the most? Are the two of them very close?"

"Yes, there were only three women in the club at that time, and Ayako didn't come often, and the two of them shared the same goals. At that time, they were like each other's shadows. They were inseparable, and they were best friends."

"Really? No wonder Miss Ikeda reacted so strongly after Miss Ayako mentioned Miss Nonoguchi."

"When we opened the door of the club office, we saw Atsuko's body hanging from the ceiling..."

"Alas~ happy events turned into mourning..."

"Later we quickly called the police. After the police came, after investigation and inspection, all the evidence showed that Atsuko took a rope to the club office and hanged herself. But now that I think about it, her good friend just got a special gift in her life. I don’t have any special difficulties in my studies or family, so why did I commit suicide? Maybe there’s something in it…”

"Don't think about it, maybe there is nothing special hidden in it, maybe Miss Nonoguchi can't stand others being better than her?"

"That's impossible, the two of them are such good friends! And the script of "The Blue Kingdom" has been instructed by Atsuko, so it's even more impossible to be jealous."

"Advice? Is Ms. Nonoguchi a high-level screenwriter?"

"If you want to say something very high...that's not true, and I haven't seen any scripts written by her, but it is said that some novels have been published in fiction magazines. I only know that Zhijiazi can go to this stage Tiaolu Atsuko can be said to be her guide, she taught Zhijiazi how to write scripts."
