Jiang Yuan Shi'ao, who had just been shocked by Maeda's identity, took two steps back.

"A karate champion, a karate tournament winner..."

He was so frightened that sweat broke out on his face, his courage was broken, and he sobered up.

"I'm so lucky to meet you!" Xiaolan continued.

Seeing Xiaolan admiring this person so much, Conan next to him couldn't help but feel jealous and muttered "What's so lucky about it", but it's nothing to just admire...

"Who is this woman?"

A young woman came behind Maeda Satoshi, staring at Xiaolan with an unfriendly tone.

Maeda introduced: "Ah... this is my fiancée Sayama Akiko."

"Are you getting married?" Xiaolan asked.

"Humph."

Sayama shook his head.

Seeing that his girlfriend didn't give him face, Maeda said a little embarrassedly: "Please don't take it to heart. Akiko is just jealous."

As a traditional program, Shiro Konno walked behind the two people and said the classic line "You must be the Duke of Darkness", counting down for the two people. Everyone was a little used to it.

Kamijou Hideko, who glanced at Konno's data, joined the conversation: "But it's strange, you should be two doctors and two girls who are in elementary school."

"Only one girl came," Xiaolan glanced in the direction of Xiaoai, "The doctor and the others couldn't come, so we came instead. The person who was here just now was my father, but he is not a doctor, but a detective."

"detective!?"

The eyes of everyone present trembled as if they had witnessed a murder.

"Yes!" Xiaolan was a little confused as to why they reacted so strongly, "His name is Maori Kogoro."

"I know," said Akiko Sayama. "I've seen the name on the news."

"Yes, I heard he's a famous detective," Maeda Satoshi added.

"It's really despicable that they hired a famous detective to act as a substitute." Jiang Yuan Shinan muttered.

Kamijou Hideko didn't care and said, "It doesn't matter. Now there may be fewer people who can help the Dark Night Duke."

"Since Kogoro Mori is here, we'd better not reveal secrets to each other." Old Man Jincheng finally suggested.

Then, the seven participants walked together toward the hotel's stairs.

"It seems like your dad is quite famous, Conan."

Conan pouted.

Isn't this all his credit?

"Let's also ask Miss Winnett and the others to go back to their room. They live next door to us!

"Ok!"

……

After returning to the room, the three of them rested for a while, and Mingmei said excitedly: "There is also a swimming pool in the courtyard downstairs!"

Cough!

Miss Winnett used her injury as an excuse.

"Just now, Xiaolan said she was going to go shopping somewhere soon. I'd better go with her. Xiaoai, how about you go with Lin?"

The arrow turned towards Ai, and she shook her head dejectedly.

Like a child who is tired of playing and falls on the sofa.

It's definitely fake!

"Then I'll take a look at it by myself first, and I'll come to see you and Miss Xiaolan later." Mingmei left the room first.

Seeing her sister leave the room, Xiao Ai finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her normal tone and expression.

"You noticed that just now, right?"

"Ah."

"When they heard the word 'detective', they all looked like they were ready to swallow eggs. Professor Agasa mentioned that whoever finds the Dark Night Duke can get free accommodation and a floppy disk." She said, "It can't be that the free accommodation is what makes them so enthusiastic and fearful."

Winnett agreed with Ai.

jiu wu ling yi ba ling jiu ling jiu

The reason they were scared by the title of detective was that they were afraid that they would not be the ones to solve the mystery, which meant they would not be able to get the reward of the gathering. Moreover, it seemed that except for them and Conan, everyone else had the same goal -

Disc!

"What on earth is on the disk?"

"How could I know? However, Dr. Agasa mentioned a virus, which could be a rare destructive program... After all, the 'Duke of Darkness' in the book is a thief active at night and a capricious murderer."

That's an understatement.

Miss Winnett didn't want any more problems to arise.

But it might be difficult for her to get what she wanted. Just now when she was in the hall, she felt an undisguised murderous intent, but she didn't know who emitted it, and the target was not just anyone.

To put it from a slightly scientific perspective, it is the guidance of the sixth sense.

"Be careful, I don't feel right."

Winnett reminded Ai.

……

Room 1902.

When Kogoro heard that everyone was shocked about his identity as a detective, he immediately regained his fighting spirit and was determined to solve the mystery. He agreed to stay for free and walked out the door while shouting that he would search for evidence.

"Dad is quite energetic!" Xiaolan watched him leave and said to Conan with a smile: "Shall we go around the hotel with Miss Winette and the others?"

"Okay!"

She and Conan went to room 1903 and called Winnet and Ai to visit the hotel. There were both dessert shops and souvenir shops inside. Although they were not big, they were worth a visit. Seeing that Ai was very interested in souvenirs, Winnet bought her a dolphin pendant.

Conan was not very interested in shopping, and after a while he climbed onto the small balcony outside the corridor to get some fresh air.

Xiaolan called Conan, and Conan said he wanted to stay on the balcony for a while.

……

Conan lay on the platform of the oval stone column.

What happened in the hall gave him a great sense of disharmony.

Just knowing that Kogoro is a detective, the participants were terrified.

It's just a game. Even if the accommodation is really free, there's no need to be so nervous.

Conan recalled that the doctor said there was a magnetic disk as a reward.

Maybe a disk?

Not sure yet.

However, he had already begun to have a bad feeling.

Maybe it was really like Huibara joked, he was cursed by something terrible.

The wind was blowing on the beach, and Conan gradually stopped thinking about those things. He felt a little tired, and his eyes became tired. He decided to call Dr. Agasa first to find out what happened.

He exhaled and felt that the sound of the wind had changed slightly, like the whistling caused by the window being opened.

Conan turned his head, his pupils dilated instantly, and his mouth opened wide.

"Duke of the Dark Night!"

The person who appeared behind him was the Duke of Darkness, who was wearing a black top hat, had a big crescent-shaped mouth and two exaggerated slanting eyes that seemed to have no corners.

The Duke of Dark Night stretched out his hand, and his black cloak shook, gleaming dark blue in the setting sun.

Then push forward.

Conan turned around with his arms still pressed on the stone pillar. Before he could react, he felt a force and fell toward the outside of the cylindrical fence, his body floating in the air.

The burning sunset, the gray clouds, and the funny, scary face of the Duke of Darkness.

Conan screamed subconsciously, and the fear of death made him lose control of his body, causing him to fall face down.

thump!

It's a swimming pool!

After water choked his throat, he realized that he was still alive. His survival instinct quickly took over and he struggled to swim to the surface.

"call!"

After surviving the disaster, he took a deep breath.

"You all right, little brother?"

Not only the people around him who saw him fall into the water, but everyone else also had a frightened look on their faces.

Almost died!

But between the fear of death and the detective instinct, the latter prevailed. Conan looked up at the windowsill and could only see the bottom.

He quickly climbed up to the shore, ran into the hotel through the side door, and headed straight for where he had just been.

There was nothing behind the glass door, but the door was not closed, indicating the traces left by the Duke of Dark Night.

Looking around, there was a corner next to the window sill with only two rooms: men's and women's toilets.

It is very likely that the guy who attacked him changed his clothes in the bathroom and then escaped. Although the Dark Night Duke's attire is exaggerated, it is easy to put on and take off.

According to the information learned from Dr. Agasa, the organizer would disguise himself as the Duke of Darkness to trigger several events.

But, under normal circumstances, who would push someone down the stairs just for a game?

What's more, he is still a child now!

Conan found a public phone on the first floor and immediately called Dr. Agasa to ask about the magnetic disk.

"I don't know. The tour group's recruitment advertisement only said the word secret program." Dr. Agasa, who was preparing dinner, flipped through the recipe left by Ai.

As he was talking, he suddenly thought: "I remember that the doctor who was supposed to attend the meeting with me said something about viruses."

"Virus?"

"But this is strange. I think he only knows that it is a secret program..."

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Conan's face turned pale and he hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Conan!"

Conan's heart trembled and he slowly turned his head.

"Sister Xiaolan, what are you doing?"

"I've been waiting for you at the souvenir shop until now!"

Xiaolan's expression was very dissatisfied. She had been waiting for nearly an hour and a half, from dusk to dark.

Winnet and Xiao Ai, who were watching them from afar, looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

Xiaolan was about to blame him, but then she noticed something abnormal about Conan.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you soaking wet?"

"It's because I slipped and fell into the swimming pool."

Conan laughed a few times, trying to get away with it.

Xiaolan held Conan's shoulders and looked at him carefully: "What are you laughing at! What on earth did you do to yourself, you idiot... It looks like you are not injured. Hurry up and change your clothes and get ready for dinner."

"Ok!"

Conan took Xiaolan's hand.
