Gin doesn't want to work hard

Unlike Conan, who was surrounded by a crowd, Kurosawa found a corner to sit down from the start.

As an accompanying person, Kurosawa did not want to participate in their discussion.

However, unexpectedly, there was someone who seemed to share the same idea as him.

Kurosawa looked at the dark-skinned high school student who had naturally sat down opposite him, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"you are?"

"Hello, my name is Hattori Heiji, and I'm a detective!"

Hattori Heiji introduced himself.

"Hello."

Kurosawa nodded politely and gave his name.

"Kurosawa Formation".

"Oh, it's Mr. Kurosawa."

Heiji Hattori chuckled twice, then pointed to Conan, who was surrounded by the crowd.

"Did you come with that brat?"

Kurosawa nodded.

No wonder he's sitting here alone.

Hattori Heiji muttered something to himself.

Kurosawa raised an eyebrow, noticing Conan peering in their direction.

He smirked and asked deliberately.

Are you also a Sherlock Holmes fan?

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji waved his hands repeatedly.

"I'm not like that!"

"I came here just to find someone."

"But now it seems the person I'm looking for isn't here."

"To be honest, I admire Ellery Queen more than Conan Doyle..."

As they talked, Hattori Heiji keenly sensed that something seemed off about the atmosphere around them.

He turned around warily and saw that the people around him were looking at him with a horrified expression.

Heiji Hattori then realized that this was a gathering of Sherlock Holmes fans.

What he just said was indeed inappropriate.

Realizing this, Hattori Heiji immediately changed his tune.

"But Conan Doyle is still a cut above! Haha!"

Upon hearing this, everyone naturally shifted their gaze and continued their discussion.

Conan seized an opportunity to slip away from the crowd and approach Kurosawa.

"Kurosawa-kun, what were you talking about with him just now?"

As he spoke, Conan didn't forget to stare at Hattori Heiji with dead fish eyes.

Clearly, Hattori Heiji's words had left a deep impression on him.

"Hey kid, don't be so stingy!"

"We just met not long ago, have you forgotten?"

Conan isn't really a child, so of course he won't get angry so easily.

However, Conan had a bad feeling about Heiji Hattori's purpose in coming here.

"Heiji-nii, who are you looking for here?"

Hattori Heiji answered quite readily upon hearing this.

"Of course it's that kid, Shinichi Kudo."

"He disappeared without a trace after beating me last time."

"I heard he liked Sherlock Holmes, so I decided to come and see him."

"I thought I might run into him here, but it seems like that's not going to happen."

Hattori Heiji sighed.

"That guy is really something, he's disappeared without a trace!"

"Hey kid, you know Shinichi Kudo too, right?"

"Do you know where he is now?"

Conan chuckled awkwardly upon hearing this, then quickly shook his head.

“I don’t know either.”

……

I'm sleepy, just one chapter, QAQ...

Chapter 112 Eve

Heiji Hattori was just asking casually.

Therefore, he wasn't too disappointed when he received a negative answer.

He just muttered a couple of words softly.

Conan didn't hear exactly what was said, but he did hear the words "Shinichi Kudo".

Conan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Conan is helpless and unable to do anything about this person who keeps chasing after Shinichi Kudo.

Furthermore, since Heiji Hattori is a capable detective, Conan has to be careful to avoid having his true identity discovered.

Thinking of this, Conan subconsciously wanted to coordinate his statements with Kurosawa's.

Although Conan trusts Kurosawa, he can't resist Hattori Heiji's sharp perception.

If I hadn't pointed it out, Heiji Hattori might have noticed something amiss in some detail and become suspicious.

This is something Conan doesn't want to see.

"Kurosawa-nii..."

As soon as Conan opened his mouth, he noticed that Hattori Heiji across from him was also looking over.

Conan: ...

He choked for a moment and swallowed his words back.

Heiji Hattori naturally noticed Conan's unusual behavior.

However, in his current view, Conan is just a more mature child.

Heiji Hattori wouldn't necessarily need to find out a child's secret.

But he still moved closer to Conan with a touch of wicked humor.

"Your name is Conan, right?"

"Conan, what were you trying to say just now?"

Conan looked away somewhat awkwardly.

Just as he was trying to come up with an excuse, a voice came from not far away.

"Alright, it's getting late, everyone should go back to their rooms and rest."

These words were spoken by Hiroyuki Kanaya, the initiator of the event and the owner of the hotel.

His words drew everyone's attention.

Similarly, it will also rescue Conan from Heiji Hattori's problem.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off the chair, and ran to the other side of Kurosawa, a place further away from Hattori Heiji.

At this point, Hiroyuki Kanaya began to display the most precious items from the event.

A Study in Scarlet - Collector's Edition!

Conan's eyes lit up when he saw the book that the hotel employee, Hitomi Iwai, was holding in her hands.

He clenched his fist, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Hiroyuki Kanaya began to talk about the rules.

"There will be a challenging reasoning quiz after dinner tomorrow. If you answer all the questions correctly, you will receive this book."

"But before that..."

Hiroyuki Kanaya looked at Hitomi Iwai.

Hitomi Iwai understood and put down the book in her hand, then picked up several bound question-and-answer sheets and distributed them to everyone.

Hiroyuki Kanaya continued.

"These are a thousand questions about Sherlock Holmes. Only those who score 990 or higher will have the opportunity to participate in tomorrow night's reasoning quiz."

"Therefore, in order to prevent everyone from cheating, please hand in all your communication devices and paper documents."

Hitomi Iwai is carrying a tray to collect related items.

When she walked up to Kurosawa, he placed his everyday cell phone on her.

After everyone had handed in their phones and other related items, Hiroyuki Kanaya continued.

“Every room in the hotel is equipped with surveillance cameras. If anyone cheats, they will not only be disqualified but also kicked out of the hotel!”

"Therefore, please take this seriously and do not cheat!"
