Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 180 Something has to change
Neither Tachibana Shizuka nor Hattori Heiji cared about this little incident. Although Hattori Heiji liked solving cases, it didn't mean that he would interfere in every case.

For example, this kind of case is not about a thief or a murder, and they even guessed the real murderer right away, which has almost no appeal to Hattori Heiji.

Not to mention Tachibana Shizuka, who would keep silent even if someone died and needed help. Not to mention thefts where nothing was stolen.

Of course, this is also because this case did not happen to Tachibana Shizuka and the others, otherwise Tachibana Shizuka would have pulled out his gun just now.

Yes, he is such a double-standard person.

Tachibana Shizuka originally thought that they could rest until dinner, and then listen to the hotel owner chattering while the test papers were distributed and then start watching the fun.

But things didn't go as planned. Not long after Tachibana Shizuka lay down, their door was knocked hard again.

This time the knocks were stronger and more frequent, as if his father had died.

Tachibana Shizuka, who was just beginning to feel sleepy, suddenly opened his eyes, walked angrily to the door, opened it, and said to the people outside with a sullen face:

“Now give me a legitimate reason, tell me you have a legitimate reason for knocking on my door.

Otherwise, you must be really eager to see me get grumpy, right? "

The receptionist was given a hairdryer by Tachibana Shizuka at maximum power, but the panic in his eyes did not change.

"Tachibana, Detective Tachibana! The boss is dead!"

"If you're dead, then you're dead. Wait, what did you say?" Tachibana Jingsi narrowed his eyes and asked the front desk clerk.

"The boss is dead!"

"That's not it."

"Detective Tachibana!" The receptionist didn't quite understand Tachibana Seiji's question, but he still repeated it carefully.

"That's right, that's exactly what it says." Tachibana Seiji nodded to the receptionist with a relieved expression on his face.

This behavior made the receptionist even more confused. They wondered what was going on with this guy and why he looked so nervous.

After all this time, this guy insisted on asking him to call him detective?
Without waiting for the receptionist to finish her complaints, Tachibana Shizuka suddenly moved closer and invaded the social distance of the receptionist.

"Tell me, who said I was a detective?"

"Ms. Kudo Yukiko! She's the elder of that little kid." The receptionist was sweating coldly. Combined with the cold look on Tachibana Seiji's face, how could he not know that he had said the wrong thing!

Just now, the front desk and several passengers were searching each room for a possible thief as usual.

In fact, the front desk clerk also felt that this method was not very reliable, because not everyone who opened the door was easy to talk to.

Some people may even start swearing out loud, because there is nothing wrong with their actions saying that they suspect the person in the room is a thief.

It's normal for such groundless suspicions and accusations to be met with tempered criticism. The front desk staff carried out this activity with the mentality of accompanying the prince to study.

The activity continued in this way, and finally after "visiting" the last guest room, as expected, they did not gain anything.

In fact, some passengers behind him suggested entering other guests' rooms to search, but the front desk clerk did not respond.

He made up his mind that even if someone really wanted to do this, he would no longer be the leader.

Asking at the door is asking for a scolding, but if you really intend to enter someone's room to search, you are asking for a beating.

He only makes a few bucks, is he really that worthy of taking the blame for someone else's behavior? Fortunately, some of these tourists are reasonable. To be frank, they're just joining in the fun. They're not the ones getting scolded anyway, they're just there to watch the fun, and they're very enthusiastic.

But they certainly would not participate in any operation that was too outrageous, so this unreliable proposal was immediately abandoned.

Just as everyone was about to leave, a voice suddenly came out from the crowd.

"Haven't we knocked on the hotel owner's door yet?" This sentence made everyone stunned for a moment, and then they showed an eager expression.

That’s right, all of them were disturbed, so there was no reason for the hotel owner to be able to rest in the room alone, right?
What's more, the theft in the office is a matter that is closely related to the hotel owner. There is no reason for him as the owner to stay out of it.

What's worse, some people even had their own plans in mind. Not to mention that the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet" was not found in the boss's office, there were so many people here, so maybe they could see the test questions in advance?
These people quickly reached a consensus and asked the front desk to take them to the boss's room.

They were very understanding of the fact that the front desk clerk didn't dare to knock on the door, and even said that there was no need for the front desk clerk to knock on the door, they could do it themselves.

Then a group of people gathered at the door of the boss's room and knocked hard.

A group of people knocked for a long time and knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no movement in the room.

Just when everyone thought the boss was not in the room, someone suddenly interrupted and asked if something had happened to the boss.

Some things are better not to be mentioned, the more you mention them, the more frightening they become.

Immediately, several male passengers broke open the door of the boss's room and saw the situation in the room.

The innkeeper, dressed in a funny Sherlock Holmes costume, was lying on the ground with a knife stuck in his chest and a look of horror on his face.

The room was in a mess, with test papers scattered all over the floor, stained with blood. As for the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet," no one had seen it.

"And then what? Are all these people behind you just like Ye Gong who loves dragons but doesn't like them? They're all fans of Sherlock Holmes, but when a murder case really happens, high school students have to take action?

How come I've never heard of Sherlock Holmes asking for help from high school students?"

Tachibana Shizuka, who was in a bad mood when he woke up, was extremely mean and insulted the frightened passengers again.

"Who says Holmes wouldn't ask for help from children? Haven't you heard of the Baker Street Squad?"

Tachibana Shizuka looked up and saw a young man who looked like a college student. He seemed very upset about Tachibana Shizuka's remarks.

"I rarely read Sherlock Holmes, but I also know that Holmes only needs the Baker Street team to help him when he needs a direction. What's more, Holmes does this more out of sympathy.

After all, street children in that era were not treated as human beings.

Now that something's wrong, you're blaming two high school kids and you're pretty damn proud of it, huh?

"The most important thing when discovering a murder is to call the police first. Why are you telling me now that the hotel's phone line has been cut?

Then I can also drive down the mountain to help you call the police.

Expecting two high school students to help you solve the case is idiotic, right? We are not the saviors of the police, nor are we the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era.

Please go back, everyone."

After saying this, Tachibana Shizuka took a step back and closed the door.
