Chapter 179: Several People with Their Own Motives
"what?!"
After hearing this, everyone else's faces instantly showed some awkward expressions. Among them, Kudo, Hattori, and Mori had the most awkward expressions on their faces.
What about Sherlock Holmes's 1,000 questions? They don't know the answer!
Bayonetta, disguised as Kudo, said she had the time to relax and film a movie instead of watching Sherlock Holmes. Maori agreed. He thought he might as well go to Yoko's concert twice instead of watching Sherlock Holmes.
As for Hattori? Although he had read Sherlock Holmes, as he said, he preferred Ellary Queen to Sherlock Holmes. Therefore, he was not so familiar with some details in Sherlock Holmes.
At this moment, the three detectives' eyes were filled with embarrassment. They didn't want to end up losing their qualification for the final reasoning quiz because their questionnaire scores were less than 990 points!
"Um, do we need to fill out this questionnaire as well?"
Finally, it was Kudo who broke the atmosphere first and asked Kanaya.
"Ah, no, that's not necessary. As special guests of this event, you and Mr. Heiji don't need to fill out the questionnaire!"
Jin Gu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Hattori who was staring at him, and quickly spoke.
He also hoped to use the popularity of the two to attract some guests to his hotel, so naturally he would not let them lose the opportunity to participate in the final question-and-answer session.
"What about me? Do I need to fill out this questionnaire too?"
Seeing that Kudo and Hattori were exempted from the restriction on answering questions, Maori approached them with a calm face and asked.
"You are... Detective Maori?!"
Although Maori does not have the nickname "Sleeping Kogoro", he has solved many cases because of Conan's hints. Therefore, although he is not as famous as in the anime, he is not a small character either.
Therefore, Jin Gu recognized him quickly.
After seeing Mao Li nod, Jin Gu's smile became even brighter. His fat face was as bright as a chrysanthemum:
"Of course not. As a famous detective, you can naturally participate directly in our final stage."
This wasn't just a contest between two famous detectives, but three! Two high school detectives, and one real detective. No matter who won, it would be a huge publicity stunt for the hotel!
Hearing this, the others immediately became unhappy:
"Why?! Why do we have to fill out a questionnaire to participate in the final environment, but these three people can participate without doing anything?"
At the instigation of his girlfriend, Hu Shi jumped out first and shouted angrily.
The others around him nodded in approval. Why? We're all human beings, all here to participate in this event. One or two people might be fine, but why did that old man get to skip the test too?
"Shut up!"
Jingu shouted at him angrily:
"If any of you are like these three famous detectives, genuine, officially recognized, and have helped the police solve numerous cases, I will allow you to participate in the final round of questions without answering any questions!
Come on, tell me, who among you is a famous detective?!"
At the end of his speech, Jin Gu glared at the people standing there, and his tone became a little more serious.
Facing Jin Gu's gaze, they all shrank back. What kind of famous detective? They were just novel enthusiasts. If they really had that kind of talent, how could they still be doing their current jobs? They would have opened their own offices long ago.
Seeing that they were all silent, Jin Gu nodded in satisfaction and gave an apologetic smile to the three Maori.
However, because of this action, he did not notice the murderous intent that was about to burst out of Hu Juyan's eyes.
This murderous intent was not only directed at Jin Gu himself, but also at Maori and the other two.
"Hmm? Someone wants to kill me?"
Kudo, who was standing by, keenly sensed the murderous intent and looked towards its source with some curiosity.
However, when she saw that the source of the murderous intent was Hu Shi, the curiosity in her eyes instantly disappeared. It wasn't that she looked down on this person, but mainly because, in her heart, Hu Shi had already been marked as dead.
Is there anything to worry about with the dead?
"Okay, for the sake of caution, please hand your cell phones and reference books to the waiter. I don't want anyone among us to cheat on the test.
Of course, it’s okay even if you don’t hand it over, after all, there are surveillance cameras and eavesdropping devices everywhere in the room~”
As he spoke, Jin Gu nodded towards a monitor on the ceiling, drawing everyone's attention to the monitor.
"Monitor? Oh, a model! Using something like this to deceive others is ridiculous."
After taking a look at the surveillance camera in the sky and not feeling that anyone was spying on him, Belmode sneered and shook his head.
Compared to this, she would rather communicate more with her angel, and find out if her angel knows the real whereabouts of Kudo Shinichi.
"Xiaolan..."
However, before Kudo could finish his words, Conan interrupted him:
"Sister Xiaolan, let's go back to the room and rest early. I'm a little tired."
"Oh, is that so? Sorry, I'll take you back to your room now."
As she said this, she gave Kudo an apologetic smile, then picked up Ai and led Conan towards their room.
"...It's okay. This party will last a long time anyway, so I can take my time to test it out."
Watching the three people leave, Kudo was stunned for a moment, and then gave up the idea of continuing to look for Xiaolan to test for information.
"But then again, where did that little child Angel was holding come from? Why didn't I notice her before?"
At this time, Sister Bay finally noticed Ai, who had been hiding behind Conan and had been given a buff by him that reduced her presence.
However, because she did not notice Ai's face from beginning to end, and Ai's hair was covered by Conan's hat, she did not associate Ai with Miyano Shiho.
Compared to the information from those two little kids, she wanted to know more about what was happening with Kudo Shinichi now.
"Let's ask again tomorrow morning."
Thinking of this, she simply ignored Hattori who kept trying to get close to her and returned to her room.
"?"
Hattori, constantly being ignored by Kudo, slowly asked himself. What the hell? One by one, two by two, they're ignoring me like this? This is too much!
However, thinking that he would be able to officially compete with Kudo tomorrow, Hattori was too lazy to think too much and turned back to his room. He also wanted to have a good rest and face tomorrow's competition in the best spirit.
