Conan: I'm definitely a blackmailer!

"But... didn't you, Mr. Shimoda, book this place?"

Nakamura Minori couldn't help but turn her head and look at Shimoda Kohei in surprise, blurting out.

"Of course it's not me! Hey? Is it you?"

Shimoda Kohei frowned and shook his head, and directly shifted his gaze to Itai Ryuichi.

"Of course not!" Itai Ryuichi shook his head without hesitation.

"Then... could it be you, Mr. Yonehara?" Shimoda Kohei looked at Yonehara Akiko with some uncertainty.

"It's not me either!" Yonehara Akiko shook her head in confusion.

Immediately, as if she had thought of something, Yonehara Akiko turned her head and looked at Nakamura Minori and added.

"I just found an invitation letter and the location in the drawer of my office."

"Because when we all went out to travel, it was always planned by Mr. Nakamura."

"So, I thought it was the same this time!"

"It's not me this time, but there is a similar note in my desk."

Nakamura Shisato shook his head and said in confusion.

"Yes, us too!" Shimoda Kohei and Itai Ryuichi also nodded in agreement.

After saying that, the four of them couldn't help but look at each other, all a little confused...

Then this time - it's time for our little detective to appear.

Conan blinked his eyes and asked Nakamura Shisato who took out the key.

"Then... why does Mr. Nakamura have the key to the villa? Who gave it to you?"

"To be honest, the key is actually on my desk with the invitation."

Nakamura Misato shrugged slightly and explained in confusion.

"Who rented the car?" Conan turned his head and looked at the others.

"I rented it because Mr. Shanshan called me last night--"

"Ask me to help rent a car and take everyone up the mountain!"

Shimoda Kohei frowned subconsciously and looked at the others hesitantly.

"If you say so, then Mr. Shanshan is the one who planned this trip?"

Conan couldn't help but touch his chin and said thoughtfully.

"It should be!" Shimoda Kohei nodded hesitantly.

Ye Fei touched his chin and glanced at a few people. Let’s not talk about Akiko Yonehara who had ulterior motives——

As for the remaining three people... Nakamura Minoru, Shimoda Kohei and Itai Ryuichi.

They actually rented a car and came to such a remote villa without confirming with others.

They are really... too careless!

If this were put in some suspense thriller, there would be one or even more crazy killers around here, or even in this villa!

Moreover, as we all know——

People who are alone in the world of science are likely to get into trouble or have already gotten into trouble!

Where is the missing Mr. Shanshan now? What is his current state? It is worth pondering!

“But… for such a big villa, do we have enough money to afford it?”

As if thinking of something, Shimoda Kohei couldn’t help but look at the large living room with a sad face.

· ··Please give flowers····· ···

“It doesn’t matter! Anyway, it was Mr. Shanshan who planned it, so let Mr. Shanshan pay for it!”

Yonehara Akiko shrugged slightly and said jokingly.

While avoiding other people, the smile on Yonehara Akiko’s face instantly withdrew.

Ha! If you really want to get this money——then you can only ask the dead for it!

“Ding Dong—Ding Dong—”

The doorbell of the villa suddenly rang, and everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the gate.

Thinking of the protagonist of the previous topic, Akiko Yonehara and Minori Nakamura couldn't help but blink their eyes.

.. ....... 0

After throwing down a sentence, they subconsciously walked towards the direction of the gate.

“Hmm? Speak of the devil!”

“I’ll go open the door. It looks like… it’s very likely that Mr. Shanshan is here!”

“We’ve been waiting for you for a long time, Shanshan… huh?”

After opening the door, Minori Nakamura stopped talking halfway.

He turned and frowned at the person who came, and his face suddenly became ugly.

The person who came seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile like a villain.

"Hehe——I didn't expect you guys to be here!"

"Ah?" Mihara Akiko and the others immediately changed their expressions.

"Strange, who is this person? Is he also a teacher?"

Looking at the changes in the people, Conan couldn't help but blink his eyes and looked at the person up and down with a rather strange look.

I have to say, this person looks really unkempt!

Like a wanderer, or a down-and-out artist or something like that... eh.
