How I was forced to be a boss

She raised her head and smiled reluctantly, "No, because of what happened, everyone didn't eat dinner, this is a bowl of light seaweed soup, I hope you don't dislike it, it may be difficult to fall asleep if you are hungry. "

I reached out and touched it, not too hot, not too cold.As if it had been prepared in advance.

"Then after you're done using it, just put the bowl on the tray, and I'll come back and collect it after I deliver the soup to everyone." He bowed and bowed before leaving.

Looking at the small palm-sized bowl on the tray, I thought about it and stopped her.

"Mrs. Sanwei, it's just a bowl of soup. I'll finish it soon. Why don't you wait here for a while, and you can just take the empty bowl away after I'm finished. It won't save you from having to go back."

Mrs. Sanwei didn't seem to expect that I would talk to you, so she froze for a moment.Then he knelt down in front of me again.

"Then trouble you."

Compared to when she was in the study before, Mrs. Mio looked much more polite.

The two of us sat opposite each other, and while I picked up the small soup bowl, I chatted with her casually.

"Speaking of which, I was on vacation with my friends, but such a horrible thing happened. It's really unfortunate for me and everyone in the hotel."

I repeated: "What a pity."

Mrs. Sanwei's lips moved for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, and finally they pressed together tightly again.

I didn't care, and complained softly while drinking the soup slowly.

"How could this happen to me? It's obviously not my fault."

"It's all because of my impulsiveness—"

Her fingers trembled slightly.

After taking a sip of the soup, I continued, "It's all because of my impulsiveness that I chose this place, otherwise I wouldn't have lived such a terrified life."

The warm soup flowed into my stomach, which really made me feel much better.

"Ah! I'm sorry, please forgive me! I'm not saying that the hotel is bad, I'm just—" Realizing that I had actually spoken my heart out, I looked at her embarrassedly.

Mrs. Three Tails slowly shook her head.

I felt that this person was a bit pitiful, so I brought the same!Looking at her with sympathetic eyes, "You must be very sad that the familiar person just disappeared before your eyes."

"After all, he is a child who grew up watching him grow up."

"Although it sounds like some minor flaws, for you, a child who has been watched and grown up like this may be no different from a parent and child."

Caught off guard, Mrs. Sanwei suddenly covered her face and sobbed softly.

At a loss, I put the empty soup bowl on the tray and patted her on the shoulder lightly, "Are you okay? Sorry, I'm all to blame for bringing this up."

"It's not your fault, Miss Kitano." A muffled and choked voice came from Mrs. Mitsuo's palm.

I sighed, "That's okay, what happened in the hotel, how will everyone live in the future, whether it's you, Mr. Maeda, or Mrs. Murao, everyone is not young anymore."

"But..." I hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to speak or not.

"What's wrong? Miss Kitano?" Mrs. Sanwei raised her head, her eyes were red.

"There's something I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Please tell me." Mrs. Mitsuo looked at me with trusting eyes.

"If Mr. Murao Hosomasa had no enmity with everyone, would it be true that the murderer's purpose was not to kill Mr. Murao? Then the murderer will find a scapegoat..."

"You mean to say..."

"After suffering such a blow, everyone has been devastated and has no intention of running a business. In addition to the murder case, the hotel..."

I think Mrs. Three Tails doesn't know whether to continue talking.

"Hotel..." Mrs. Mio's expression was a little dazed.

"Hey, yes, this hotel is also quite a fortune, and the proprietress can only sell it at a low price in order to make a living."

"However, can it be sold?"

"Sell it or not..." Mrs. Sanwei repeated my words in a murmur.

"Ah! This is just my unreasonable speculation! Please don't take it too seriously." I hastened to add, and then pushed the tray forward, "Thank you very much for the soup, it's really hard for you, please also tonight Take a good rest and wait until tomorrow! The broken bridge will be repaired tomorrow, and the police will catch the murderer, then the rest of the people will surely live a peaceful and happy life again."

"—As long as the real murderer can be caught."

Mrs. Sanwei calmed down again, and bowed again, "You are right, everyone will live a peaceful and happy life again."

"I wish you a good dream, I will leave first."

I raised my hand and rubbed my eyes, covered my mouth and yawned, muttering 'so sleepy, so sleepy', I decided to go to bed early.

So he closed the door and lay down on his bed again, and soon fell asleep

Kudo Shinichi couldn't fall asleep, wandering around the hotel alone.

It was quiet in the hotel as if everyone had rested.

He didn't look at the body again, the details were already in his mind.

At that time, Murao Satoshi was kneeling in the middle of the hall, facing the door, with a terrified expression on his face, his mouth opened wide, as if a bullet had directly passed through the wound, and the scene was very bloody.

but……

During the hour when all the guests were in the hot spring, no gunfire was heard, and the gun in the dead man's hand was not equipped with a silencer.

When it comes to guns, Kudo Shinichi can only think of those mafias.But obviously, the matter was not done by those few people.

gun……

gun?

As if remembering something, he stepped forward a few steps, lifted a corner, picked up the gun with a handkerchief and looked it over carefully, confirming that one bullet was indeed missing, and then groped under the sofa again.

After a while, my fingers touched a cold object, and when I touched it, it turned out to be a bullet.

However, it was a complete bullet.

"No one shot at all."

He looked at the wound carefully again.

Sure enough, it looked like a gunshot wound at first glance, but in fact, it looked more like a wound pierced by a sharp weapon than a gunshot wound.

From the back directly to the mouth. !Can such a wound really be done by humans?The strength required for this is not ordinary.He frowned thoughtfully.

Kudo Shinichi gently flicked the dead man's hair with a handkerchief, exposing a bit of scalp at the edge of the wound, and a little bloody scar leaked out, his eyes were fixed.

"This is……"

"So it is!"

Then the thoughtful expression appeared again.

"But what's the reason? Besides the murderer, why did another person do this?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi sat on the edge of the window sill in the room, not feeling sleepy.

"what--!!"

Suddenly, a female scream came from the hotel, because the decibels were too high, it was impossible to detect whose voice it was, and then there was a loud knock on the door, "No, someone has been attacked !"

It was Mrs. Murao's voice.

Sawada Tsunayoshi opened the door and found that it was indeed the proprietress.

"What's the matter? Don't worry, just speak slowly." Tsunayoshi Sawada comforted patiently.

"Yes, it's over the room of Miss Mori and Miss Suzuki. Miss Mori is terrified! Go over and have a look!"

This kind of thing happened one after another in my own hotel, and the proprietress looked more haggard than before.

Sawada Tsunayoshi looked serious, "Please don't be afraid, I'll go and have a look."

The men's room and the women's room are located on different floors. When Tsunayoshi Sawada arrived, there were already several people in the room.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko hugged each other tremblingly.

The high school student detective, Kudo Shinichi comforted the two of them.

"There will be no ghosts!"

Kudo Shinichi said this verbally, but felt something was wrong in his heart.

It's so strange that Lan would be chosen to do it.

Since that person was also in the study at the time, no one would choose Lan as the first target.

Because Yuanzi said that Lan was the winner of the karate competition, and Lan and Yuanzi lived together again!Together.

According to his reasoning, the next victim——should be Masaki-san.

"What's going on?" Sawada Tsunayoshi asked.

Osamu Dazai, who was leaning against the door, explained, "The two ladies said they saw a black ghost, appearing in their room with a huge weapon like a sickle, but disappeared after Miss Mori screamed. .”

Hoigawa grabbed his messy hair and walked over impatiently, and then Masaki Rei and Mrs. Mio also rushed over.

shadow?sickle?

Sawada Tsunayoshi pondered.

"That's the one!" Mao Lilan's eyes still had undried tears, "God of death!"

"So, it's not like you read it wrong!" Huang Mao's face was full of irritability when he was disturbed by others, "If it is really the god of death, how could he be scared away by a scream!"

Suzuki Sonoko retorted unconvinced, "Lan is the winner of the National Karate Competition!"

Squinting his eyes and looking at everyone present, Osamu Dazai suddenly raised a question, "Speaking of which, everyone heard Miss Mori's scream, right?"

"I was called by Mrs. Murao." Tsunayoshi Sawada raised his hand.

"Ah! Because I was really scared, I asked Mr. Sawada, who is the closest to me, to come with me!" Mrs. Murao explained.

Mrs. Murao's room is directly above Tsunayoshi Sawada's.

Sawada Tsunayoshi looked up at her.

"In that case," Osamu Dazai looked around again, "Has anyone seen Lingyang?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"No," Reborn pointed to Hibari Kyouya, "Even Hibari has rushed over."

Indeed, Hibari Kyouya also followed, but he just leaned against the wall without saying a word, closed his eyes and did not speak.

"Ah, it's troublesome now." Takeshi Yamamoto's relaxed expression disappeared, and there was a coldness in his eyes looking at everyone.

"Oops!" Kudo Shinichi stood up abruptly.

"That person's real target is Miss Kitano!"
