Conan: Naruto

"I heard about it."

Manager Shiraki looked at Ozaki Tsui, and calmly confirmed:

"I heard you received a boring threatening letter?"

"um, yes."

Ozaki Tsui nodded hesitantly.

Manager Baimu nodded slightly, and asked dismissively:

"Just a threatening letter, won't the banquet tonight be changed?"

"banquet......"

Ozaki Tsui looked at Manager Shiraki hesitantly.

"Don't worry."

Okano Torika, who was standing far behind Ozaki Tsui, looked at Manager Shiraki, clasped his right hand in front of him, and explained gracefully:

"The banquet is held for me, and everything will naturally go according to plan."

"just in case......"

Ozaki Tsui looked back at Okano Rika hesitantly.

"Not just a banquet."

Manager Shiraki looked at Okano Lixiang and reminded him as it should:

"Don't forget the Honghua Group that supports you behind your back these days."

"How could I forget~?"

Okano Lika lightly covered her red lips and smiled faintly.

At this time, Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi keenly noticed that Manager Shiraki's pink flower was in bud and had not yet bloomed.

Shiraki said goodbye impolitely:

"Okay, see you later."

Before the words were finished, Manager Baimu turned around and went to the door, closing the door gently.

Mori Kogoro looked at Ozaki Tsui, and asked in bewilderment:

"Is he the manager of the Red Flower Seaside Hotel?"

"That's right, and he appreciated our teacher's avant-garde flower arrangement."

Ozaki Sui looked at Mori Kogoro gently.

"Ah."

Okano Lixiang looked at the closed door, snorted lightly, and reprimanded unhappily:

"He thought vulgar money could buy art?

Just seeing his face makes me sick. "

2 minutes later.

Okano Toshika temporarily left the lounge.

"Sister Ozaki~"

Dongfang Haoyue, who had nothing to do, stood on the sofa to the right of Ozaki Cui, poking Ozaki Cui's right arm with her left hand.

"Ok?"

Ozaki Cui, who was chatting with Xiaolan, was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Dongfang Haoyue in bewilderment.

Haoyue looked at the spray-shaped stainless steel bottle placed on the iron cabinet not far from the front right, and asked curiously:

"Why is that bottle placed alone on the cabinet~?"

"bottle?"

Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan and Mori Kogoro sat in their original positions, and followed Dongfang Haoyue's line of sight to look at the bottle in bewilderment.

"Oh, you said that."

Ozaki Cui looked at the bottle following Dongfang Haoyue's gaze, and explained with a smile:

"The bottle contains liquefied freon, which can freeze something instantly~!"

"Freeze something~?"

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Ozaki Cui more and more curiously.

Ozaki looked at Haoyue and explained kindly:

"That's the secret of Teacher Lixiang's flower arrangement."

"Is it the secret that Mr. Lixiang came up with~?"

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Ozaki Cui in surprise.

Ozaki Tsui shook her head slowly, and corrected with a gentle smile:

"It would be more appropriate to say that... she developed the art of flower arrangement using liquid freon."

after a while.

hall.

"Oh!"

Mori Kogoro stood in front of a dining table, reached out and lifted the dome cover covering the dinner plate on the dining table, looked at the high-grade beef on the dinner plate, and laughed excitedly:

"It looks great!!"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi stood behind Mori Kogoro on the left, holding their foreheads with one hand, and couldn't bear to look directly at them.

"Excuse me......"

A young man wearing a dark blue suit, white lining, and a blue-and-black striped tie walked up to Kogoro Mori not far away, and put his left hand in front of his right.

The man hesitated to confirm:

"You are...the detective Mori Kogoro?"

"Yes, it's me."

Mori Kogoro was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the young man across the table in bewilderment.

"excuse me."

The young man bowed slightly and said apologetically:

"I want to... ask you one thing."

"Ok?"

Mori Kogoro made a surprised sound.

--------

2 minutes later.

Outside the door of the manager's office.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

It was the sound of Mori Kogoro clenching his right hand and knocking on the door.

"Because the awards ceremony is about to start, I came here to call Manager Shiraki."

The young man standing sideways on Kogoro Mori's right looked at Kogoro, put his left hand in front of him while holding his right, and said worriedly:

"But there has been no movement in the office..."

"Oh?"

Mori Kogoro stopped knocking on the door, bent his left elbow across his chest, put his right hand on top of his left wrist, and supported his chin with the tiger's mouth, thinking for a while.

After two seconds.

Mori Kogoro turned his head to look at the young man, and asked calmly:

"Have you got a backup key?"

Dongfang Haoyue stood behind Maori Kogoro on the left, looked up at the ceiling of the corridor, and complained in her heart speechlessly:

"The regular Māori detective thought for two seconds and figured out the backup key...wow...!

By the way... Manager Baimu won't open the door, could it be..."

Thinking of this, Dongfang Haoyue thought in shock:

"Could it be that he, he has been killed!!!

No way...it's a little too fast...I've seen him just now..."

"Haoyue...?"

Kudo Shinichi stood on the left of Dongfang Haoyue, looking at Haoyue's unpredictable expression in a daze.

"some."

The young man took out the backup key and handed it to Mori Kogoro, explaining embarrassingly:

"I'm worried that the manager will blame me, and I dare not open the door rashly..."

"Ah."

Mori Kogoro nodded slightly, took the key, unlocked the door neatly, opened the door, and looked into the room with a solemn expression.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Xin looked into the house and found...

Manager Shiraki lay most of his body on the spacious sofa, his left hand and left foot were hanging on the ground, the pink flowers on his chest had already bloomed, his eyes were closed, and he remained motionless.

Also, his tie had a slipknot in the front of his neck.

"He...he died...?"

Xiaolan stood on the left of Mori Kogoro, covering her red lips with her right hand, and looked at Manager Shiraki with some fear.

after a while.

Police officer Mu Mu led a large number of police officers to the scene of the crime.

The police officers carried out the investigation and evidence collection skillfully.

"If I remember correctly, the tie around Manager Shiraki's neck is..."

Mori Kogoro stood in front of the armrest of the sofa in front of the corpse's head, looked down at the tie on the corpse's neck, and turned his head thoughtfully to look at the young man on the front right.

"Correct."

The young man standing behind the sofa looked at Kogoro Mori and replied without thinking:

"That's the manager's own tie."
