Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

After Shiina Yuichi parted with Vermouth, he walked briskly towards the elevator in the lobby on the first floor.

Judging from the information revealed by Vermouth, the little man named Itakura Taku is, for some unknown reason, currently in room 2004 of this hotel.

Long before the two of them met, Vermouth had already gone there to scout the place out.

According to her, Itakura Taku was the only one in room 2004. In this case, it is no wonder that Vermouth set up such a trap.

Because to some extent, this arrangement does save a lot of valuable time.

Just as Yuichi Shiina arrived at the elevator door, he happened to see a group of people entering the elevator one after another.

One of them keenly noticed the silhouette of Shiina Yuichi, and hurriedly reached out to press the button to keep the elevator door open, and called to him: "Come in!"

There are still many good people in the world!

Shiina Yuichi was filled with gratitude and was about to open his mouth to say thank you, but when he stepped into the elevator and saw the faces of the people inside, the unfinished words of thanks were instantly choked in his throat, like a fishbone that he could neither swallow nor spit out.

"Xiaolan! Uncle! Why are you here?" Shiina Yuichi looked at the two of them, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely rich.

"I also want to ask why Brother Yuichi is here?" Mao Lilan raised a sweet smile.

Conan: No buddy, you really didn't see me?

The bald man with glasses standing next to Uncle Maori asked curiously, "So you two know each other?"

"Yes, he is my brother, but not my biological brother." Mao Lilan explained with a smile, "But he is also a very smart... detective."

"I see."

Shiina Yuichi: Is this how you promote me outside?

Another detective!

The bald uncle's eyes lit up. Not only him, but also the other two strangers in the elevator looked at Shiina Yuichi with some curiosity.

"What are you doing here?" Uncle Maori was puzzled. "Are you here to see Mr. Itakura as well?"

Mr. Itakura?

Is it Taku Itakura?

Shiina Yuichi reported in his mind, but his expression remained calm. He rolled his eyes and immediately noticed that the number 20 was on the elevator indicator light.

"Mr. Itakura? I don't know such a person." Shiina Yuichi smiled and said, "I came here today to meet a friend, she is an American."

As he spoke, Shiina Yuichi pressed the elevator button for the 21st floor very naturally.

"friend?"

"friend!"

Uncle Maori and Conan have different expressions.

Especially Conan, he came here not only for the commission accepted by Uncle Maori.

More importantly, he learned from the three clients that Mr. Itakura had close ties with the winery.

Maybe this time, he can find clues about the organization himself.

Although everything is still just speculation, it is worth confirming that the person who contacted Mr. Itakura was Tequila who was killed in the explosion at the Mantiantang game press conference.

And now that Yuichi Shiina has appeared, it seems to have illustrated this point invisibly.

friend?

He didn't believe such a clumsy lie from Shiina Yuichi.

In his eyes, Yuichi Shiina was definitely going to find Mr. Itakura.

Even if Shiina Yuichi really went to find those so-called friends, they could only be the evil guys in the organization.

snort!

At last he got a glimpse of the truth.

Conan's eyes were fixed on Shiina Yuichi through the lenses.

Feeling such a piercing gaze, Shiina Yuichi glared at Conan. It had been a long time since Conan looked at him like that.

This kid...why did he suddenly become so brave?

Shiina Yuichi thought about it carefully and had a rough guess in his mind.

Since they are also here to find Itakura Taku, this guy is bound to die, and may even become part of Conan's main storyline.

In this case... can he just stop working and go home?

Good news!

Moreover, my improvisation just now did not require me to get involved in the case.

really not bad!

Thinking of this, Shiina Yuichi suddenly became happy, and his originally gloomy mood improved.

As for the organization's mission? Is Itakura Taku alive or dead?

What does that have to do with him.

You can't let him go back with a dead person to complete the task, right?

What a lucky day.

Ding!

Soon, the elevator arrived.

Shiina Yuu watched them leave with a smile on his face.

This was somewhat puzzling to Conan and the others.

The bald uncle who opened the door for Shiina Yuichi before said with some emotion, "He is such an easy-going person."

Conan was shocked when he heard this, and he looked at the bald uncle in disbelief.

Hey, uncle, do you know what kind of guy you just evaluated?

And...Xiaolan, what's with that expression of approval on your face?

Do you have any special filter for Shiina?

Conan touched his forehead helplessly, feeling extremely complicated.

Soon, a group of them walked towards Room 2004.

When Yuichi Shiina took the elevator to the 21st floor, he couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone to share the news of Taku Itakura's death with Vermouth.

Such good news is really exciting.

Itakura Taku: ??? Listen to what you said, is it human language?

Yuichi Shiina found Vermouth's phone number in the address book and quickly pressed the call button.

The phone rang twice, and after it was connected, Vermouth's slightly lazy voice was heard soon after.

"Potter? Did you complete the task so quickly? Or... did you run into trouble?"

"It can be considered as completing the task, but it's not a big deal. Even if you are my godson..."

Afterwards, Shiina Yuichi recounted what happened when he met the Mori family after getting on the elevator.

After that, the communication between the two remained silent for a minute.

"… Potter."

"what happened?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

"Ok?"

When Shiina Yuichi heard her say that, he frowned slightly.

What’s wrong with this woman? She can talk, but why is she cursing?

He has a very good brain.

"Do you want to listen to what was just said?"

"What do you mean, if my godson takes action, Itakura Taku will definitely die? Is he the god of death? Whoever he sees will die?"

"Even if you don't want to work, at least come up with a decent excuse."

Next, Vermouth's words came like a barrage of words, leaving Shiina Yuichi speechless.

He also wanted to explain it to Vermouth from a scientific perspective.

But this is science.

It's a world where even the Weather Bureau doesn't need to exist.

He's using his head to explain it to you.

"Tsk, then, let me take two photos of Itakura Taku's death for you." Shiina Yuu paused, then answered seriously, "Anyway, I didn't lie, and the reward for the mission can't be less than a single one!"

"..."

There was no more voice from Vermouth on the phone, so Shiina Yuichi simply hung up the phone.

Damn it, do we still have to go to the crime scene?

Tsk!

This damn Conan is really my nemesis!

Shiina Yuichi thought about it and took the elevator back to the 20th floor.

It didn't take long for him to find room 2004.

Looking at the open door, Yuichi Shiina knew what was going on just by thinking with his butt.

Let me tell you, Conan is more reliable than Gin!

Shiina Yuichi cautiously came to the door and saw a man lying on the table, motionless.

The expressions of the three clients had become extremely panicked. Conan and the uncle had already stepped forward to begin examining the bodies.

As for Maori Lan...

"Yes, there was a murder in Room 2004 of the Rice Flower Hotel..."

Ok?

He is indeed a professional in calling the police.

Shiina Yuichi thought to himself that this girl might not even need any pre-job training when she goes to work as a switchboard operator at the Metropolitan Police Department in the future.

After calling the police, Mao Lilan quickly noticed Shiina Yuichi standing at the door.

Seeing this, she hurried forward and shouted, "Brother Youyi, it's bad, something happened."

"Yeah, I saw it. That guy must be the Mr. Itakura you guys are talking about." Shiina Yuichi nodded at the male corpse.

"Huh? How do you know?" Mao Lilan was surprised. She hadn't said anything yet.

Haha, how hard to guess.

Shiina Yuichi took out his cell phone and took two photos.

Mao Lilan: ???
