Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

the other side,

Chu Zhong has collected all the yukatas on the list...

Chapter 160: Each with their own ulterior motives (Doujinshi plot)

After successfully collecting the yukatas from everyone on the list.

Complete the collection of specific items in the dungeon to unlock the exclusive item: "Hot Spring Yukata"

The collected yukatas vanished in the blink of an eye.

In Chu Zhong's inventory, there was a new, ordinary dark blue, simple yukata.

"Onsen Yukata": Enjoy the comfort of soaking in hot springs anytime, anywhere.

Next, you only need to clear the level with an S-rank or higher to take the "Hot Spring Yukata" out of the dungeon.

I have to say, Sonoko's information-based skills are really useful; she even revealed the hidden mechanics of items.

However, this boss-level small multiplayer dungeon is limited in scale, and there are only two exclusive items. There is also no new information on reactivating the garden's skills.

Perhaps because everyone acted together, the hidden perpetrator has remained silent and has not yet revealed any clues.

Chu Zhong even went so far as to find the spare keys to the room and locker at the hotel reception, and took advantage of the others soaking in the hot spring to open and search through them.

No dangerous items were found.

Current mana: 60

On the contrary, their magic power is almost exhausted.

[Triggered the Golden Body set effect, Mana +1... Mana +1...]

Chu Zhong then used the same trick again, entering the women's hot spring once more, immobilizing Horikoshi Yumi and Ayashiro Noriko, and restoring the magical powers of the martial arts fanatic Ran and Sonoko.

A dozen minutes later, Chu Zhong left the women's bath feeling refreshed, and his mana had already been fully restored.

7 p.m.

One by one, everyone emerged from the hot spring and, dressed in clean yukatas, went to the backyard of the inn.

The hotel staff had already prepared the reserved barbecue equipment and ingredients, setting up a large table full of food, along with a dozen ice-cold beers.

Kogoro and the others, still steaming from the hot spring, immediately quenched their thirst and cooled down with ice-cold beer, expressing their admiration.

During the subsequent DIY barbecue session, Xiao Lan, a martial arts enthusiast who enjoys cooking, showcased her skills, taking over the barbecue grill all by herself.

Grilled meat, skewers, grilled vegetables, grilled seafood... perfectly grilled and fragrant food is delivered to the table in a continuous stream.

"Damn it, Kogoro is so lucky! He has such a virtuous and beautiful daughter!"

Bald detective Nakamichi Kazushi joked with a smile.

Ayashiro Yukio chimed in, "Yes, and her cooking is so good too. My future husband is in for a treat. If only Noriko's cooking skills were even half as good..."

Then his wife glared at him, and he didn't dare to finish his sentence, which made everyone burst into laughter.

As everyone ate barbecue, drank wine, and chatted, the atmosphere became increasingly lively. Martial arts enthusiast Xiaolan had finished grilling all the ingredients, so everyone could eat and drink to their heart's content.

"continue……"

Chu Zhong took out four listening devices he had retrieved from the bathrobe and handed them to Conan.

Conan wasn't stupid; he quickly moved among the crowd again, looking for opportunities to install the listening devices one by one.

"Speaking of which, back in the judo club, everyone had a crush on Yumi..."

As the wine flowed more freely, the conversation began to drift a little inappropriately.

"It's a pity that Yumi chose Kazushi. We were heartbroken about it for quite a while..."

Half-drunk, Ayashiro Yukio seemed to have completely forgotten that his wife was still beside him, and was talking with Omura Jun with his arm around her shoulder.

"By the way, Yumi and Kazushi, how are things going for you two?"

Noriko Ayashiro then spoke up.

They pretended to be concerned and inquired, but in reality, they were deliberately changing the subject.

Chu Zhong had overheard Ayashiro Noriko and Horikoshi Yumi discussing this matter while he was at the hot spring.

I know that back then, Yumi Horikoshi and the bald man were just pretending to be in a relationship to avoid other suitors.

Similarly, Noriko Ayashiro previously boasted about her harmonious marital relationship, but now it seems there was some exaggeration involved...

We broke up a long time ago~ I just didn't tell you guys~

While stroking her beer glass, Horikoshi Yumi calmly replied, "But Kazushi's good news is indeed coming soon; they're getting married soon."

Then everyone became curious and inquired about the bald man's marriage and his partner.

After a while, Horikoshi Yumi seemed to be completely drunk. She closed her eyes and fell asleep in her chair.

Horikoshi Yumi had just passed out drunk, but Omura Jun and Ayashiro Yukio stood up almost simultaneously.

"..."

The two looked at each other, and neither spoke for a moment.

"I'll take Yumi back to her room!" Noriko Ayashiro glanced at the three of them and said irritably.

Atsushi Omura and Yukio Ayashiro both scratched their heads awkwardly, one saying he needed to go to the restroom and the other saying he needed to get some beer, both pretending to be very busy.

However, Noriko Ayashiro was also half-drunk and couldn't help Yumi Horikoshi up for a long time.

Chu Zhong then asked the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan and Sonoko to help him. The two best friends helped Horie Yumi back to her room, while Chu Zhong pretended to be drunk, said he was going back to his room to sleep, and left the backyard.

The legal drinking age in Japan is 20. Although Chu Zhong was not officially of legal age, he was still forced to drink several bottles of beer by Nakamichi and others at this private gathering.

This convenient excuse to leave actually gives the hidden 'perpetrator' a chance to make their move...

As for Conan, he had been yawning non-stop after eating and went back to his room early.

However, Conan's glasses are in Chu Zhong's hands.

"...Still working as a detective, huh..."

"A TV interview? Kogoro, you've finally made it..."

Using the bug, Chu Zhong returned to his room and put the temple of his glasses to his ear, still able to hear the conversation of the people in the backyard.

About half an hour later, at 10 p.m., the people in the backyard finally dispersed.

According to the information received through the bugging device, Kazushi Nakamichi, Jun Omura, Yukio Ayashiro, and Noriko Ayashiro were all extremely drunk.

Only Kogoro, the copycat, who was secretly instructed by Chu Zhong, did not drink too much and helped Nakamichi, Shigeo, and Omura Jun back to their room.

The Ayashiro couple helped each other back to their room.

However, after a brief period of tranquility,

Chu Zhong heard the sound of a door opening and closing stealthily, so he peeked through the crack in the door.

The first floor of this hot spring hotel is for public facilities, while the guest rooms are on the second and third floors. Since there are basically no other guests, everyone's rooms are concentrated on the second floor.

Peeking through the crack in the door, Chu Zhong immediately saw Ayagi Yukio leaving the room like a thief, looking perfectly fine and showing no signs of being drunk.

Then, Ayashiro Yukio went straight to Horikoshi Yumi's room, tried to open the door but couldn't, and then gently knocked on the door.

No response.

After standing at the door for about ten seconds, Ayashiro Yukio walked to the door of Ōmura Jun's room and knocked.

"Xingxiong? You're still awake? What's up?"

About ten seconds later, Jun Omura, looking drunk, opened the door and asked.

The conversation was transmitted to Chu Zhong's ears through the eavesdropping device.

"Stop pretending!" Ayashiro Yukio chuckled. "I know you put sleeping pills in Yumi's sake..."

Jun Omura: "Don't talk nonsense..."

Ayashiro Yukio: "Still not admitting it? You planned to get Yumi drunk at the last party, and what happened? Yumi can hold her liquor better than you."

"Yumi got drunk after only two or three bottles of beer today. Omura, do you think you can fool anyone?"

"Do you dare let me search your luggage? If I find sleeping pills..."

Jun Omura: "...I just haven't been sleeping well lately, so..."

Ayashiro Yukio: "Stop wasting time with this. Do you have a key? Open the door, let's go in together..."

Omura Jun: "..."

Ayashiro Yukio: "If we miss this opportunity, there's probably no next time. Let's take advantage of the fact that Yumi isn't married yet..."

Omura Jun: "..."

Ayashiro Yukio: "When Yumi wakes up tomorrow, she'll definitely guess that she was drugged. Omura, you just want to force the issue and maybe even win her over, right?"

Omura Jun: "..."

Ayashiro Yukio: "Don't worry, you go first, I'll be second, I'll just have a taste..."

"If you feel like you're at a disadvantage, I can just give Ji Zi sleeping pills tomorrow and let you and her..."

After some encouragement and bargaining...

Atsushi Ōmura finally nodded in agreement, but requested that Yukio Ayashiro take proper safety precautions.

The two then went downstairs together to the hotel reception to buy necessities.

After buying the goods, instead of going back to the second floor, they went up to the third floor...

Less than two minutes later, the door to a room on the second floor opened again.

Noriko Ayashiro, who should have been completely drunk, was actually quite energetic, though her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Seeing that no one was in the corridor, Noriko Ayashiro walked out of the room and deliberately made her yukata messy.

dong dong dong-

He then walked to Kogoro's room and knocked on the door.

Kogoro, who wasn't drunk, quickly opened the door.

"Kogoro, I want to hear your crime-solving stories~"

With that, Noriko Ayashiro walked directly into the room and closed the door behind her.

Chu Zhong:......

Drugging, incapacitating, and seducing...

The husband cheated on his wife, and she cheated on her husband too...

The storyline depicted in the doujinshi is truly as it seems!

Indeed, art imitates life...

Chapter 161 A Match Made in Heaven

"Kogoro, you don't know, my husband is only handsome on the outside, actually..."

In Kogoro's room, Noriko Ayashiro, who had barged in without permission, kept saying she wanted to hear about the case, but within two minutes she changed the subject.

What they want to do is already quite obvious.

Unfortunately……

Chu Zhong listened to the conversation transmitted through the bug and chuckled inwardly.

If it were the real Kogoro, he probably would have taken advantage of the alcohol and had a deep conversation with Noriko Ayashiro about the topic.

It's a pity, this is the boss-level Kogoro Mouri in the dungeon, which is much more reliable than the real one.

"Niko, it's getting late, you should go back to your room and rest..."

Soon, Noriko Ayashiro was forcibly "invited" out of the room by Kogoro, who pretended not to understand.
