Chapter 225: The Duke of Darkness (5) Timing
The sand castles on the beach collapsed and were rebuilt, and the tides rose and fell with the rolling waves.
The sunset in the evening is breathtakingly beautiful, and even the sea breeze becomes cool and pleasant.
Dr. Agasa and Grandpa Terai were a little tired in the afternoon, so they went back to rest early.
So now there were only Li An, Mao Li and his group of five outside.
The three adults and two children returned to the hotel as the sun set.
Walk through the glass door and into the exquisitely decorated first-floor lobby. The name of the hotel is written in English at the front desk - Princess Hotel.
Princess Hotel.
The hotel is very big. There are several red single sofas and round tables near the window. There are a few people sitting in groups of three or four. Some are listening to music, some are reading books, and occasionally someone comes in and out through the glass door.
At the back door is a small swimming pool.
The floor was covered with a crimson carpet, and the sound of footsteps was almost inaudible.
Kuria handed Haibara Ai to Xiaolan and went to the front desk first.
Xiaolan and the others didn't go upstairs, but just found a place to wait for her.
The other half of the room fee had already been paid when we arrived, and now we are booking the breakfast delivery service for the next day.
"Book breakfast for four people and have it delivered to rooms 4 and 1902." Li An thought for a moment, "The time is..."
The waiter quickly looked up the information: "May I ask your name?"
"Kuroba Kuriyasu, the room is reserved by Professor Agasa and Mao Lilan."
The waiter at the hotel front desk nodded, confirmed the information on the computer, and quickly recorded it.
When they heard Dr. Agasa's name, many people around pricked up their ears.
The person on the sofa behind him put down the beer can in his hand and looked towards the front desk with lustful eyes.
The most obvious one was the guy standing a little away from the front desk. He quickly tapped on the keyboard and called up a software.
"Ma'am, I have recorded it and someone will deliver it to you on time tomorrow."
Li An thanked them and was about to ask them to leave when someone next to him suddenly asked, "You... should be the Duke of Dark Night, right?"
Click.
Li An paused for a moment, then tilted his head to glance at his computer screen.
Click.
"Are you timing it?"
Conan, who was swinging his legs boredly on the sofa in the hotel, raised his head and jumped off the sofa.
Haibara Ai didn't notice any dangerous aura around her and continued to wait quietly for people.
She held on to her sun hat and still tied her hair up tightly, with only some bangs hanging down in front. It was completely different from the loose look and made her look more well-behaved.
"You're quick to react, young lady." The person who spoke wore a pair of black-framed glasses, and her side-parted hair covered most of her right eye.
He turned around, showed Li An the number on the front of the screen, and immediately turned back.
"One second exactly. How could you answer my question so accurately? I'll take this as a reference."
He probably knew that this was not polite, so he immediately introduced himself: "I'm Shiro Konno, who lives in room 2002. We'll get to know each other better in the future."
Li An looked at the list given by Dr. Agasa and the hotel reservation list, and quickly identified the person.
Shiro Imano, a bank employee, cherishes the computer in his hand very much.
"It's just an error. I'm Kuroba Kuriyasu, who is traveling with Professor Agasa."
He put his left hand on the table and pulled up the ballpoint pen with the thumb pointing downward, then turned around without hesitation and reached out to the dirty hand that was reaching out from behind.
The spring string tied to the ballpoint pen immediately tightened and became almost a straight line.
"Ouch!"
"Ma'am!" The front desk clerk was startled.
"Sister Li An!"
Li An held the blood-stained pen in reverse, turned his gaze back, and still had a polite smile on his face: "Mr. Konno, please give me your guidance."
The expression on Konno Shiro's face was blank for a few seconds: "Please...please give me more advice..."
When Conan saw the man's actions, he squatted down and realized that he was wearing slippers.
His reminder was a step too late, and he was shocked when he saw her actions.
Li An's movements were quick and decisive, and he did not hold back with force. Even though the tip of the ballpoint pen was not sharp and not easy to use, it still left a bloody mark on the back of the opponent's hand near the base of the palm.
The man who stretched out his hand was stunned for a few seconds, then raised his hand to look at the wound on his right hand, and fine beads of blood immediately rolled out.
The pain caused him to be furious, and the alcohol rushed to his forehead. He clenched his other fist and said angrily: "You damn..."
The following words were caught in my throat.
"It hurts! Let go! What are you doing?"
His clenched fist was twisted behind his back. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab it, but he couldn't move.
"I still want to ask you this question!"
Someone behind him grabbed his wrist tightly and spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"You...what did you say?"
"Thank you for your help, sir." Li An thanked the visitor and the other party nodded.
Behind her, several people saw the other party's actions and ran over.
Mao Lilan stood beside Li An and found a convenient position to attack. Mao Li Kogoro also frowned at him and said, "What do you want to do?"
Huibara pulled Li An's other hand and quietly stuffed a ball of tissue into it.
Shiro Konno beside him silently pressed the keyboard, swallowed his shock, and dutifully acted as the tour guide: "Mr. Jiang Yuan, who answered my question in just 2.68 seconds, is Jiang Yuan Tokio from room 2101."
"Mr. Jiang Yuan is not very polite."
Li An was not afraid of the other person's fist. She then raised her hand to wipe the blood off the pen with paper, then gently put the pen back to its original place, with anger appearing on her face.
"We are here to travel, just looking for someone, no one wants to fight, right?"
When Jiang Yuan Shinan saw that there were so many people around, he looked embarrassed and frightened and kept bowing his head to apologize.
But the person behind him loosened his hand, and he turned around, spat in vain, and went back to the sofa to continue drinking.
"Sister Li An, are you okay?"
Li An had put away his anger. He shook his head at Xiaolan, rummaged through his wallet again, and turned to apologize to the hotel front desk.
"Excuse me, does the pen here need to be replaced?"
"No... no thanks, ma'am." The waiter waved his hands.
Here, Mao Lilan was relieved after hearing the reply. She looked at the person who had just helped her and felt that the other person looked very familiar: "By the way, could you be... Mr. Maeda Satoshi?"
"Uh...yeah."
Maeda Satoshi looked at the person in front of him with some shock, but he didn't remember having seen her before.
"Sister Xiaolan, do you know him?"
Mao Lilan introduced Conan to this karate champion from six years ago, and this was the reason why she started learning karate because of her admiration for him.
"I didn't expect to run into you here! I'm so lucky!"
Kogoro Mori, who was staring at Ehara Tokio from the side, turned his head and looked at the "karate champion" who was happily chatting with his daughter, and his eyes gradually became sharper.
Another nasty brat!
Conan at the side sneezed a little.
Ran Mouri didn't notice anything unusual about the two men. She excitedly introduced herself to her idol, but this caused dissatisfaction from the lady next to Maeda Satoshi who arrived a little later.
"Who is this woman?"
Maeda Satoshi introduced the two to each other: "Let me introduce you. This is my fiancée, Akiko Sayama."
Mao Lilan's face was full of expectation and blessings: "You are getting married!"
Sayama Akiko unconsciously tilted her head and snorted, followed by Maeda Satoshi's smoothing over response, "She's always jealous."
At this time, Konno Shiro stood behind them like a ghost, poking his head out and said faintly: "I think you are the Duke of Dark Night..."
"what?"
"Mr. Maeda in room 1901, 0.75 seconds. Ms. Sayama..."
