Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

"Of course~ Consider it an apology!" Kotone Momozono turned to look at Conan, whose head was wrapped in bandages, and smiled.

Seeing that everyone had rejected his proposal, Saburo Ishikuri clicked his tongue quietly, his expression displeased.

The next second, he turned and walked out of the living room, "Then you don't need to prepare any for me. There's still some ice cream cake left from yesterday, I'm going to eat that in my room."

"Seriously, if you eat that kind of food for lunch, you'll get fatter and fatter!" Machi Umejima complained.

"It's nothing, it's nothing~" Saburo Ishikuri waved his hand without turning his head.

Longye glanced at his back but said nothing.

It's no exaggeration to say that 'Death' is basically all here.

Based on his words and attitude just now, this should be him.

After Ishikuri Saburo left, Tatsuno and the others followed Momozono Kotone into the kitchen to prepare lunch for her.

Conan, however, decided to take another nap because of his headache.

……

Lunch was ready shortly afterward.

Ran originally planned to have Ryuno deliver food to Conan, but according to Sonoko, the air conditioner in the living room had a slight problem, and Conan had recently gone to rest in Saburo Ishikuri's room.

The plan to deliver food was ultimately abandoned because it was feared that it would disturb Conan's rest.

After dinner, Sonoko took Ran and Tatsuno to play tennis.

After witnessing Ryūno's tennis skills, Sonoko became even more curious about Rin's tennis abilities.

After playing a few rounds with Ran, Sonoko covered her face and sat on a rest chair without saying a word.

She realized.

I will never compete with Ryūno and Kōran in 'sports' events again.

I'm clearly a member of the tennis club, aren't I?

Although she has never undergone high-intensity training, she has been playing tennis since she was a child and has been playing tennis for nearly ten years!

To be fair, even the seniors in the Teitan High School tennis club couldn't beat her...

Thinking of this, Sonoko looked up at Ryuno and Ran, and twitched her lips helplessly.

Chapter 391 Police Academy: We Didn't Teach

Noticing that something was wrong with Sonoko, Ran quickly went to her side.

Just then, Sonoko suddenly stood up, her eyes flashing with a sharp light, "Ran! Ryūno! You two should debut!"

This sudden train of thought made Xiaolan stop in her tracks, blinking in confusion.

"Huh? What debut?"

"With just a little practice, the two of you will be able to easily defeat those professional players and become legends in the tennis world!" Sonoko nodded emphatically.

"Then I'll be your manager! That way, I'll become famous too!"

Ryūno and Rin: "..."

Longye and Xiaolan exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly.

Sometimes, these strange thoughts would pop into Sonoko's head...

Soon after, Longye and his two companions returned to Taoyuan Qinyin's villa to rest for a while.

Momozono Kotone thoughtfully took out a sports drink from the refrigerator and placed it on the table in front of Ryuno and the other two.

Just as Sonoko was about to unscrew the bottle cap and take a sip, Tatsuno stopped her.

"Sonoko, how can you drink cold water right after exercising? Besides, these three bottles of drinks are frozen solid, you can't drink them anyway~"

"That's true~" Sonoko smiled sheepishly and put the sports drink back.

At this moment, Taoyuan Qinyin also brought over several bottles of room temperature mineral water. "Sorry, it was my oversight. You really shouldn't drink cold water after exercising."

"Thank you so much, Ms. Kotone~" Ran replied politely.

The next second, Longye and the other two unscrewed the caps of their mineral water bottles and took a few sips of water.

Taoyuan Qinyin took the opportunity to put the sports drinks on the table back in the refrigerator.

Longye watched Taoyuan Qinyin's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The cap on the drink that Sonoko just took was clearly opened.

……

A few minutes later, Noboru Takanashi and Kotone Momozono and Machi Umejima happened to meet in the villa’s corridor.

He then learned from the two that Saburo Ishikuri had not come out of his room since returning before lunch.

Takanashi Noboru glanced at his watch and exclaimed in surprise, "What? Ishikuri is still in the room? It's already past three o'clock, and he's still sleeping?!"

—Bang!

Just then, a loud crash came from upstairs, like a heavy object falling.

Not only were Takanashi Noboru and his two companions drawn to the loud noise, but even Ryuno and his friends, who were resting in the living room, heard it and came out of the living room.

What was that sound just now?

"It sounds... like it's coming from Ishikuri's room?"

"Has something happened?"

"..."

After exchanging a few words, the group went up the stairs to check on the situation.

At the same time, in Saburo Ishikuri's room.

Conan, who was fast asleep, was also awakened by the loud noise.

He stood up, put on his glasses, and said疑惑地, "Hmm? It sounded like something fell..."

As his mind gradually cleared, Conan felt a wave of heat and couldn't help but complain:

"Speaking of which, isn't the room way too hot? That Mr. Ishikuri actually turned off the air conditioning without my permission just because I was already asleep..."

After making a comment, Conan turned to look to the side.

When he saw Mr. Ishikuri lying near the door, his eyes widened immediately, and his sleepiness vanished completely.

Outside Ishikuri Saburo's room.

Machi Umejima turned the doorknob and found the door was locked. "Kotone, you should have a spare key to the room, right?"

“Well… the key to Ishikuri’s room has been missing since yesterday…” Momozono Kotone said, frowning.

Takanashi Noboru sighed, "There's no other way. Although it's a bit dangerous, we'll just have to climb over to the second-floor balcony and take a look."

Just as Noboru Takanashi was about to climb out of the window of the next room, Tooru Amuro walked over. "In that case, why don't I just unlock it? Because I'm actually quite good at this kind of thing~"

After saying that, Amuro smiled and then reached into his pocket and pulled out a professional 'lock picking tool'.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri frowned and glanced at Tatsuno beside him. "Amuro, how come you have these weird skills just like this kid?"

"Hmm?" Amuro Tooru turned to look at Kogoro Mouri, looking puzzled.

At that moment, Ran peeked at the tools in Amuro Tooru's hands, then turned to look at Tatsuno and chuckled, "Really? Even Mr. Amuro uses similar tools to yours!"

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru glanced at Ryuno in confusion, as if realizing something, and froze on the spot.

Tatsuno also looked at Amuro Tooru and chuckled, "Perhaps Mr. Amuro, like me, learned lock-picking skills in Hawaii~"

Toru Amuro: "???"

Seeing Amuro Tooru staring blankly at him, Tatsuno shook his head and said, "Alright, Mr. Amuro, let's open the door first."

After saying that, Longye seemed to have thought of something, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Speaking of which, did Amuro Tooru learn lockpicking at the police academy? After all, it's unlikely the Black Organization would teach him that kind of thing.

Thinking of this, a picture immediately appeared in Longye's mind—a cold-faced Gin holding a lock-picking tool, squatting down and prying open the lock of the target's house.

'Alright, Vodka, let's go inside!'

"Great job, sir! You're getting faster and faster at picking the lock!"

……

A few seconds later, Amuro Tooru, having regained his senses, pried open the door lock.

He reached out and turned the doorknob, preparing to open the door and go inside.

But as soon as the door was pushed open, it bumped into something and seemed to be blocked.

Just as Amuro Tooru was wondering what was going on, Conan suddenly poked his head out of the room and shouted, "Don't open it! You can't open the door! The thing blocking the door is Mr. Ishikuri's corpse..."

Upon hearing Conan's instructions, Kogoro Mouri and Tooru Amuro outside the door immediately changed their expressions.

Xiaolan skillfully took out her phone, ready to call the police.

Shortly afterward, the police arrived at the scene.

Because the deceased, Saburo Ishikuri, was blocking the doorway, the police had to climb over the second-floor balcony to enter the house and conduct their investigation.

Inspector Yokomizo Sango also climbed into the room to ask Conan about the situation.

When he heard from Conan that "this is a locked-room murder case," he immediately showed a surprised expression.

In addition to the locked door, even the windows were locked, making them impossible to open from the outside.

Although Inspector Yokomizo had some doubts about Conan's explanation, he relaxed when he thought that Kogoro Mouri was also there, and listened attentively to Conan's analysis.

—Anyway, Detective Mori is here, the case will definitely be resolved smoothly!

Police only opened the door and put Saburo Ishikuri's body into an ambulance after forensic investigators finished their investigation of the scene, preparing to send it to a nearby hospital for an autopsy.

Inspector Yokomizo and Conan approached Kogoro Mouri and truthfully explained what had happened and their analysis.

Chapter 392 Wang... Conan makes a great contribution!

After hearing their explanations, Kogoro Mouri was also somewhat surprised, "A locked-room murder?!"

According to Conan, after hearing the noise, he immediately went to check on Mr. Ishikuri's condition.
