"His secretary called me."

Shishido Nagaaki leaned back slightly on the wooden chair, looked at Officer Megure calmly, and narrated calmly:

"The secretary said Mr. Shengyi is my fan and hopes to meet with me to discuss in detail."

Shishido Nagaaki held the beer not far in front of him, looked at it with his head raised, and speculated confidently:

"Maybe they want me to promote this place."

Peter Ford clasped his hands together and laid them flat on the wooden table. He withdrew his calm gaze from Shishido Nagaaki and looked at Officer Megure meticulously, recounting the story seriously:

"Mr. Shengyi's secretary also called me and the reason for the invitation was almost the same."

Inspector Megure hasn't said anything yet.

"The secretary invited me for the same reason as you, but Mr. Shengyi gave me a gift!"

Nana Koyama happily picked up the bag on the table, took out a small bottle of purple nail polish and showed it to everyone, smiling and showing off:

"Look, the gift is this bottle of nail polish. It's made in France and is very expensive~"

Dongfang Haoyue, Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan heard this and looked at the nail polish curiously.

Minoru Nishina folded his arms and looked down at the wooden table. He was still angry about Peter Ford's joke and did not say anything.

Detective Shiratori looked at Nishina and confirmed according to police practice:

"Mr. Nishina was also invited by the secretary?"

“Right.”

Nishina Minoru's gaze remained unchanged and his attitude was normal.

Nana Oyama opened the nail polish, took out the plush brush inside, picked up the cork lying on the wooden table, and leisurely used the plush brush to apply paint on the cork.

Shishido Nagaaki witnessed this scene, turned to look at Nana, and asked in confusion:

"Nana, what are you doing?"

"Haha~"

Nana Koyama put the plush brush back, and with a smile on her face, she held up a cork with a purple kitten painted on it and showed it to Shishido Nagaaki, happily seeking his approval:

“I used nail polish to draw on cork. Isn’t it cute~?”

"what is this?"

Shishido Nagaaki looked at the purple kitten carefully and guessed in confusion:

"A tanuki?"

"Mr. Yongming is so annoying. He just keeps guessing."

Nana Koyama raised her head slightly, glanced at Shishido Nagaaki unhappily, and corrected him righteously:

"It's a cat, a kitten!"

at the same time.

Peter Ford unexpectedly found a piece of white paper lying at his feet. He bent down to pick it up and held it in front of his chest. He looked down at it, turned his head to look at Sawaki Kouhei, handed him the paper properly, and gestured in a friendly manner:

"Mr. Sawaki, I found something for you on the ground."

"Ah."

Sawaki Kouhei responded lightly, leaned forward to take the white paper and hung it in front of his chest, looked down at it, and read slowly:

"Mr. Sawaki Kouhei, I may be here a little later. Please go to the M-18 wine rack in the wine cellar and take your favorite wine for everyone to taste. The key is in the envelope at the counter. Sorry for bothering you. Asahi Katsuyoshi left a message."

Hearing this, everyone looked at the counter not far to the left front of the door with different emotions, and as expected, they found the white envelope.

Kudo Shinichi clasped his hands between his legs, stared at Sawaki Kouhei, and calmly judged in his heart:

"I'm sure that when I was helping Haoyue pick up the juice just now, I didn't see the white paper that Zemu Gongping was holding. The white paper was probably deliberately dropped on the ground by someone present.

According to the previous suspicion about Sawaki, perhaps he was the one who dropped the white paper.

If I'm not mistaken, he wanted to have a legitimate reason to suggest that everyone go to the wine cellar to complete some plan.

But now that I think about it, I haven’t asked Haoyue why he didn’t hold the juice firmly…”

When Kudo Shinichi thought of this, his thoughts were in a mess.

Dongfang Haoyue folded her hands between her legs. She noticed that Shinichi's attention was distracted, so she turned to the right decisively, put her red lips close to his ear, and whispered softly with concern:

"what's wrong?"

"Ah, I'll have some questions for Haoyue later."

Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Dongfang Haoyue who had retracted his head, and gave an explanation in a very low voice.

Haoyue tilted her head and responded softly and crisply:

"Ow."

at the same time.

"Hey!"

Nana Koyama stood up, supported the wooden table with both hands, looked at Sawaki Kouhei actively, and said with great interest:

"I want to see the wine cellar!"

Peter Ford placed his hands flat on the wooden table, retracted his approving gaze towards Nana Koyama, turned to look at Sawaki Kouhei, spread his hands, smiled heartily and said:

"I want to see it too."

Sawaki Kouhei has not yet responded.

Shishido Nagaaki looked at Sawaki and said casually:

"I want to see what wines are available in the wine cellar here."

"In that case, let's go and take a look together."

Sawaki Gonghe stood up and smiled as if bathed in the spring breeze.

--------

After a short time.

The large and dim wine cellar had its door closed.

Sawaki Gonghe stood outside the door, pushed it open neither lightly nor heavily, reached for the button on the left side of the door with his left hand, turned on the light smoothly, turned to the left, walked forward a few steps and stopped on the red stone brick floor with irregular patterns.

Everyone walked into the door and gathered at a distance on the right side of Sawaki, looking at the rows and rows of wine racks stacked with wine bottles with varying emotions.

Inspector Megure opened his mouth wide and described in disbelief:

"This is really..."

Inspector Megure hasn't finished speaking yet.

Maori Kogoro stood to the right of Megure and added in admiration:

“It’s really spectacular.”

"But."

Xiaolan stood half a meter to the left of Inspector Megure, folded her arms to keep warm, and said elegantly:

"It's a little cold."

"No, the temperature here is still too high."

Sawaki Kouhei turned his back to the machine that controlled the temperature of the wine cellar, looked at Xiaolan casually, and explained scientific knowledge meticulously:

"The best storage temperature for wine is between 10 and 14 degrees."

Sawaki Kouhei looked sideways at the temperature gauge of the temperature control machine and made a rigorous judgment:

"The temperature here is seventeen degrees, which is a bit too hot."

at the same time.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi stood side by side in front of Xiaolan, with their hands behind their backs and their forearms crossed. They carefully scanned the wine cellar and found no mechanism.

Detective Shiratori stood behind Kogoro Maori to the right, took a few steps forward and stopped in front of the wine rack. He grabbed the edge of the rack with both hands, turned around and looked at Officer Megure, and asked enthusiastically for his approval:

"Officer, look, these are rare wines."

Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure walked to the right side of Detective Shiratori at the same time, lowered their heads, and looked curiously at the many wine bottles listed on the top shelf of the wine rack.

Bai Niao looked at the wine bottle and praised it like a treasure:

“Romanee-Conti, La Tache, Le Pin, Cote Rothschild, Krug Romanee, it’s breathtaking.”

The words have not yet fallen.

Sawaki Kouhei stepped in front of the wine rack against the wall, turned his head and looked at the signs on the rows of wine racks on the left, searching for the answer:

"M-18's wine rack... is here."

Sawaki Kohei turned left, stepped between two rows of wine racks, and walked slowly forward, looking left and right at the wine bottles displayed on the racks.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi followed behind Sawaki openly, looking around at will, thinking calmly in their hearts:

"We can't prove that Sawaki arranged all this for now. Maybe there's someone else who's responsible, but it's always better to stay vigilant."

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi thought about it and found out as expected...

Farther back, in the middle of the wine rack against the wall, there are pistol-style crossbows.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi turned their heads decisively, looked up at Sawaki Gongping and grabbed his trousers, and reminded him loudly at the same time:

"dangerous!"
