 Waiting and waiting, more than an hour passed. Amuro Toru's tea has been refilled for two cups, but the writer still hasn't appeared.

Jiang Xia had already changed the drink from tea to juice. At this time, he couldn't help but glance at Amuro Toru: "Boss, are you going to stay up all night today?"

Toru Amuro actually nodded calmly: "I'm busy with work."

 Jiangxia: “…”

Just as he was talking, there was a commotion in the corridor - the memorial ceremony was about to begin. Mouri Kogoro and the others hurriedly packed up the table tennis room and went out one after another, preparing to go to the festival.

 After they left one after another, a figure suddenly came down the stairs.

Amuro Toru's eyes lit up, and he secretly poked Jiang Xia to remind him to pay attention - if I remember correctly, the person who came down was none other than Imatake Satoshi's writer friend, Sasai Nobuchi.

 The roommates have all come down, will Imazuki be far behind?

Toru Amuro felt like he had seen the light of day.

 …

 Under the covert gazes of the two people, Sasai Nobuichi walked to the front desk while looking at his wrist, and asked the waiter: "What time is it now? My watch seems to be broken."

The waiter politely said: "7:46 pm."

“...I said the watch was slow, but that guy still didn’t believe it.” Sasai Nobuichi clicked his tongue, turned around and walked out of the hall, heading straight towards the festival.

Tohru Amuro looked away from him, waiting for Imatakechi to appear.

Jiang Xia looked at Sasai Nobuichi for a while, until his back completely disappeared, then he looked back dully and turned over the mystery novel in his hand to pass the time.

 …

 Unknowingly, another ten minutes passed.

The stairs were almost pierced by Amuro Toru's glance from time to time, but Imakichi still didn't go downstairs.

 As the time for the festival approaches, there are fewer and fewer people in the hotel.

 After a while, the festival was about to begin.

Toru Amuro silently glanced at his watch and then looked upstairs: "...Imazuki Tomo will not forget that there is a festival today."

Jiang Xia cooperated with him to analyze: "It may be that he found that he was late, and then simply didn't bother to go there."

As he was talking, the door of the hotel was pushed open from the outside. A man wearing sunglasses, a scarf and a hat, who was well covered, strode in and went straight to the second floor.

Jiang Xia glanced at the man and looked away as if nothing had happened.

Following what he just said, he continued to whisper to Amuro Toru: "It's not an option to wait like this. If the festival is over, Imatake Satoshi's roommate will come back, and it will be troublesome then... Why don't I go to the second floor for a walk? Try to meet by chance? There are some lounges upstairs, he might go there."

Toru Amuro thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I will continue to guard here."

 …

Jiang Xia walked slowly up the stairs to the second floor. Like a tourist enjoying life.

 It is different from Jiang Xia's leisurely "hanging out" posture.

 In the two rooms next to it, people were busy nervously.

 …

  In room No. 201, there is a man and a woman. They were two of Mouri Kogoro's classmates—Nakamichi Kazushi who had just proposed to play table tennis, and Horikoshi Yumi who was angry because of it.

At that time, the reason why Yumi Horikoshi was furious was because the time when "everyone played table tennis together" just now was originally the time for "private chat" between her and Kazushi Nakamichi.

 She had a relationship with Nakamichi Kazushi that spanned more than ten years. Originally, the two should have entered the marriage hall long ago, but Yumi Horikoshi didn't like the feeling of being "bound" and rejected Nakamichi Kazushi's marriage proposal several times.

 Nakamichi Kazushi broke up with her, went on a blind date with another woman, and quickly decided to get married. After Yumi Horikoshi learned about it, she was resentful of this behavior of "abandoning her" and took the intimate photos of the two of them to blackmail Kazushi Nakamichi.

 In anger, Kazushi Nakamichi decided to kill this annoying guy. Just now, the students finished playing table tennis and went to visit the festival one after another. He coaxed Yumi Horikoshi to play a game alone.

When both of them were sweating profusely, Nakamichi Kazushi suddenly smiled sinisterly and said: "I have already stolen those intimate photos you brought."

Horikoshi Yumi was shocked, rushed back to the room, lowered her head and rummaged through her backpack.

Nakamichi Kazushi followed immediately, and after entering the room, he took out his pistol and pointed it at her from behind - Horikoshi Yumi had been exercising intensely just now, and if he killed her at this time, her body would stiffen faster than usual. Going forward, she will just "die while everyone is playing table tennis together", and Nakamichi Kazushi will have a perfect alibi.

Thinking of the wonderful scene then, Kazushi Nakamichi slowly tightened his hand on the trigger and showed a pleasant smile.

In room No. 202 next door, there are two writers-Imatake Satoshi and Sasai Nobuichi.

After Nobu Sasai walked out of the hotel in a swagger, he put on a disguise and ran back - he wanted to kill his fellow **** Satoshi Imaki.

In Sasai Nobuichi's view, the work that made Imtake Satoshi famous was obviously a collaboration between the two of them, but in the end, it was only Imtake Satoshi who became popular.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the world was unfair, and he gradually became murderous. So he spent a year preparing for a murder tonight.

 In tonight's ceremony, bonfires in the shapes of "天", "下" and "一" will be set off on the top of the mountain in order.

 A year ago, Nobuichi Sasai used an old-fashioned camera to take a photo of himself with the two bonfires "Tian" and "Xia".

This year, after he shot Imakichi, he planned to rush to the scene wearing the same clothes and ask a passerby to take a photo of himself with the character "一". In this way, he looked like he had been staying at the festival venue and never returned to the hotel, so he would naturally have an alibi.

At this time, Sasai Nobuichi had already entered the room wearing a disguise and was messing up the room to disguise it as a home invasion.

Imatakechi heard a movement in the living room, and walked out with a toothbrush in his mouth in confusion. At a glance, he saw Sasai Nobuichi standing by the door with his hands tightly covered.

Jinzhuzhi said doubtfully: "What are you..."

Sasai Nobuichi smiled at him and pulled out his gun.

 …

 In the corridor separated by a wall.

When Jiang Xia went up to the stairs on the second floor, through the corridor window, she saw fireworks set off at the festival from a distance.

At the same time as the fireworks exploded, a "bang-" gunshot was heard in the hotel.

This was actually two shots, but because they happened to go off at the same time, it sounded like there was only one gun.

 …

Sasai Nobuichi shot Imakichi to death, carried a bag of belongings, pretended to be a robber, and rushed out of the door.

Guests on the same floor heard the gunshots and poked their heads out of the room in confusion. Sasai Nobu hissed and shouted at the onlookers: "Get out of my way!"

Passers-by saw the gun in his hand and swished back into the room.

 …

As soon as Sasai Nobu finished shouting, he glanced around and saw that the corridor in front was empty except for a young man passing by.

The man probably hadn't reached his own room yet, so he couldn't retreat into the room, but he stopped and "get out of the way" as if obediently.

Sasai Nobuichi didn’t pay much attention to this “passerby” and ran past Jiang Xia.

At the moment when he passed by, his collar was hit hard and he was suddenly pulled into the air by a hand, followed by a heavy blow on his wrist.

"ah-!"

Sasai Nobuichi let out a scream, lost his strength and let go, and the gun clattered to the ground.

Almost at the same time, his whole body was swung in a circle like a sack, and hit the ground with a "dong" sound.

 …

Sasai Nobuichi, a mental worker, suddenly suffered such a heavy blow and fainted without saying a word.

 The thing that fell from his body was not just a gun, but also a camera.

The camera drew an arc in the air and fell accurately to the door of Room 201, the room where Nakamichi Kazushi and Horikoshi Yumi were.

　　While pushing the door open a crack, the moment the camera landed on the ground, a lump of clay-like object appeared out of thin air and hit the shutter invisibly. The camera made a shutter sound. The sound was wrapped in clay and was diluted by the sound of Nobui Sasai hitting the ground. It was inconspicuous.

 The camera completed its mission and continued to slide aside.

Just as it was about to roll down the stairs, a hand caught it.

Toru Amuro heard the gunfire and ran upstairs alertly.

Behind him were Mao Lilan and Conan, two high school students. They were already on their way to the festival, but on the way, Mao Lilan remembered that Horikoshi Yumi was not there and thought she was still in the room to be angry, so she took Conan back to find her. .
