Conan Moslin

The outdoors is gorgeous tonight, and the small dark blue starry sky seen through the clear window is so deep and dazzling.

Except for the guests who had fallen asleep, most people had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery.

After all, a thousand questions is more than enough to keep these sober night owls up and partying late into the night.

On what day was Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty believed to have fallen into the valley together?

1891 5 Month 4 Day.

Please write down the correct passwords for the dancing man.

……

Time passed minute by minute, and the hands of the clock on the wall turned round and round.

The chirping of insects and birds gradually faded as time went by, but at some point in the dim morning light, the noise became noisy again.

The faint sunlight squeezed through the gap in the curtains and onto the carpet. Before he came to the bedside to call for help, Li An had already woken up.

She rubbed her hair which was a little messy from being pressed down, and slowly sat up from the bed. She was completely awake in just a few seconds.

Seeing that Xiaoai was still sleeping in the dim light, Li An tiptoed to the window and pulled the curtains tighter.

After making sure that the sunlight would not shine on Xiaoai's face who was still sleeping, she walked into the bathroom.

Li An quickly took care of everything, changed his clothes, opened the door and walked out of the bedroom.

From the slightly shabby living room came the sound of shallow and even breathing.

Conan Edogawa was lying on the wooden table in the living room in his pajamas and glasses, sleeping soundly.

Under his arm was a thick stack of papers, and the pen in his hand had rolled to the ground at some point.

Li An picked up the pen that fell on the ground, and when he stood up, he glanced at the question numbers on the question book on Conan's desk.

Very good, question 474, we are almost halfway through the questions.

How long did this kid stay up all night? He didn't even go back to his room?

Although I'm not afraid of him catching a cold in such hot weather, can he really get a good rest like this?

——Of course I didn’t get enough rest.

Probably because he heard the sound of the door opening, the child in front of him opened his eyes a little slowly. His muddled mind only remembered the last question he had read before falling asleep: "The name of the book that John H. Watson knocked off the hand of the lame old man at 427 Park Road was..."

"'Birds of Britain'? No, no... 'Holy War'? These two books should be connected..."

"It's The Origin of Tree Worship."

The sudden voice startled Conan. He raised his glasses and rubbed his eyes, then rubbed his red face, and finally saw the person in front of him clearly.

"Sister Li An?"

"Do you remember what time you went to bed?"

"Four o'clock... No, I couldn't hold on until five o'clock." Conan yawned, "Sister Li An, I want to write for a while..."

"What can you think of right now? Go to bed first. I'll call you at nine o'clock for breakfast." Li An said in a neither soft nor hard tone, but still calculated the time for him, "Dinner is at eight o'clock. At your speed, even if you take a break, you can finish it before eight o'clock."

She turned the pen in her hand a few times and put it in her arms.

"I'll confiscate your pen first."

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, without knocking on Conan's door to wake him up, Kurian went to the hotel restaurant with Ai first.

The blackboard next to it marked the times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the deadline for the thousand questions was specially marked at the dinner time.

At this time, there were already a few people sitting scattered in the restaurant, including Ooki Ayako, Toba Kento, and Shimizu Nanako, but Fujisawa Toshiaki, Toda Maria, Kawazu Ikuo, and Hattori Heiji had not arrived yet.

The store manager Hiroyuki Kanaya was not there, but employee Iwai was there. She saw someone coming and quickly left the restaurant to get breakfast from the kitchen.

When Li An was halfway through his meal, the rest of the people came over yawning one after another.

"Good morning, Miss Li An!" Hattori Heiji, who came with the second wave of people, looked energetic among the dull faces. He greeted Li An and pulled out a chair to sit opposite her in a familiar manner.

Conan, who was traveling with him, sat next to him.

"I just saw this little brother coming out of the room, so I brought him here." Hattori Heiji rubbed Conan's head.

He is not a little brother! And he knows the way! There is no need for this guy to bring him here!

Conan pushed Hattori's hand away with a somewhat depressed look, and thanked Miss Iwai sweetly who brought him breakfast.

Li An said good morning to Hattori.

She had actually almost finished eating, so she took the warm milk on the table and drank it slowly.

Xiao Ai beside her also wiped her mouth: "Sister Li An, don't you have anything to do today?"

"...I think this topic is enough for us to write?"

Of course, Li An still remembered that Hattori was stared at last night for talking about his favorite detective novelist, so he just answered like this.

This trip gives everyone a whole day to answer questions, and the deadline will not be until dinner tonight.

In order to ensure the fairness of this "competition", apart from the questions, no one is allowed to keep any page of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" in their hands, so there is nothing to see.

There is no room in the bedroom for exchanging information with the outside world, and there is no TV or Internet cable for entertainment.

Even the mobile phone that Li An had left behind specially had a cross on the signal column, leaving only some small games to pass the time that could be played.

——Of course, although the signal is not very good, if she really wants to contact someone directly, she can still do so, but it is not necessary at the moment.

but……

"Or, could you try playing with my playing cards?"

After hearing this, Huihara fell silent.

Thinking of the dazzling skills that she occasionally saw Sister Li An practicing at the Trojan Horse Manor, she deeply felt that the playing poker that Sister Li An mentioned was probably different from the traditional "playing".

Li An: That’s not the case.

"It's too troublesome to go down the mountain. We can also walk around nearby." Li An suggested again, "But it's better to have someone familiar with the place to lead the way. Otherwise, if we get lost in the nearby woods, we may not be able to come back."

Of course, the only candidates who met the requirements were Ms. Iwai and Mr. Kanaya, but both of them had jobs, so this suggestion was invalidated.

Ms. Iwai, who was listening nearby, gave a serious advice: "Please don't go towards the cliff. It's very dangerous."

Xiao Ai nodded obediently and looked out through the restaurant window.

Not far from the window is a steep cliff, white waves are rolling in the distance, and seagulls are flying alongside distant ships.

"It was too late yesterday and I didn't contact Xiaolan and the others. By this time, she and Uncle Maori should have left, right?"
