I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

A woman who looked somewhat tired was directing other staff members to set up the scene.

Chen En's gaze then settled on the woman.

She had a name tag on her body.

However, even without a nameplate, Chen En could still recognize who this person was.

Ozaki Sui.

Ozaki Midori, an assistant to the founder of avant-garde flower arrangement art, was mentioned in a news report, which also included a photo of Ozaki Midori.

Having investigated the celebration last night, Chen En naturally recognized who this person was.

"Sir, could you please stand guard at the door and prevent anyone else from entering the backstage room?"

After giving instructions on the arrangements, Midori Ozaki headed towards the backstage room.

However, as soon as she entered the room, she felt a little uneasy.

So, Midori Ozaki turned her head, her gaze sweeping over the many staff members in the lobby, finally settling on Chen En, who seemed to be doing little work, and quickly waved and called out to him.

"You don't seem to have much work to do...?"

"Could you please help me?"

In response to Midori Ozaki's request.

Chen En naturally wouldn't refuse, especially since he was planning to go closer to the backstage room anyway.

I saw Chen En standing at the door of the backstage room.

Ozaki Midori then focused on arranging the flowers in the box.

It was at this moment that Chen En was able to see clearly how the flower magic trick was performed.

The answer is liquefied fluorine.

They added liquefied fluorine!

This is a highly efficient refrigerant that can rapidly cool or even freeze a target. The so-called "flower blooming" is simply freezing the flower with liquefied fluorine.

Then, by gradually increasing the temperature, the flower is thawed, and the petals naturally unfold because they are no longer fixed.

Watching Midori Ozaki mass-produce this flower arrangement art.

Chen En roughly knew who the murderer was and what method he would use to commit the crime.

7 PM.

Kogoro Mouri scratched his head, looking curiously at Conan, who seemed to have been sitting outside for half a day.

Didn't this kid say he was going out to play with his friends this afternoon?

How did we end up at the hotel they were supposed to be at?

However, Kogoro Mouri was too lazy to ask any more questions.

Anyway, it's probably just because they're hungry, so they came early for some trivial reason like looking for something to eat.

That's just how kids are.

They don't care about anything except eating, drinking, and having fun.

Kogoro Mouri immediately headed towards the entrance of the Red Flower Seaside Hotel.

Behind him, Ran Mouri crouched down to comfort Conan.

However, just before Ran Mouri got up, Kogoro Mouri was escorted out by security personnel.

Kogoro Mouri, who was being held up, shouted loudly.

"What are you doing? I'm the famous detective Kogoro Mouri!"

"I was invited to participate in this celebration!"

The two security guards who left Kogoro Mouri outside the door exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.

The older security guard inside said,

“Mr. Mori, of course we know you are the famous detective Kogoro Mori.”

"But your name really isn't on the invitation list for this celebration. We can't let you in, or the hotel manager will dock our pay."

"Don't make things difficult for us, Mr. Mori."

Mori Kogoro:?

What the heck? I was invited, but my name isn't on the invite list?

Good grief, are you trying to make me look like a stable boy?

Kogoro Mouri was instantly enraged.

Just as he was about to rush over and argue with the security personnel.

Ran and Conan quickly grabbed Kogoro Mouri's arms and legs, one on each side.

"Dad, don't do this kind of thing."

"Yes, sir, there's no need to get so angry about not having an invitation, is there?"

Kogoro Mori, who was being pulled on both sides, was finally brought to his knees.

He sighed.

Okay, it seems this was a false alarm.

I'll call and ask later...

"Wait a minute, this Mr. Mori is the detective I hired."

"It's because of that threatening letter we received before!"

Midori Ozaki finally noticed what was happening here.

She walked quickly to the door and asked the security personnel to let her in.

Conan took this opportunity to rush inside, searching for Chen En's location.

Chapter Seventy-Five: A Dream Returns to Moonshadow Island

Lobby of Honghua Seaside Hotel.

Rika Okano, the star of the celebration, said nonchalantly,

"What threatening letter? I don't care about that kind of thing."

"It's probably just a prank by someone who's jealous of my talent, right?"

"Alright, Xiao Cui, go ahead and investigate if you want. I need to practice my flower arrangement some more. Don't bother me unless it's important. Call me when my flower arrangement performance is about to begin!"

Rika Okano is the protagonist who is threatened with death.

At this moment, however, he went backstage without a care in the world. This scene of disregarding life and death made Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri, longtime residents of Beika Town, look at each other in bewilderment.

Has she always been this brave?

Could it be that they think the citizens of Beika Town wouldn't dare to kill someone?

What a joke! We citizens of Beika Town neither cause trouble nor are afraid of trouble, but when trouble comes, we have plenty of strength and means!

"...Um, shall we put this on first?"

Midori Ozaki was powerless against Rika Okano's arrogance.

She was just an assistant, with little influence and no power to sway Okano Rika's thoughts. Therefore, Ozaki Midori had no choice but to change the subject and take out frozen flowers from the frozen box next to her.

These flowers were pinned to the chests of Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and Conan, like brooches.

However, what puzzled Kogoro Mouri was...

These flowers are all still buds, not yet in full bloom. Why would this camellia festival specifically use such flowers as identification for guests? Couldn't they afford better flowers? That doesn't seem right.

Buying so many flower buds and deliberately cutting them is more expensive than buying fully bloomed flowers, isn't it?

Conan's attention was completely elsewhere, not on the flowers.

His eyes searched left and right in the crowd, and finally locked onto his target.

"...Actually, I received this threatening letter three days ago."

"But Ms. Okano Rika never took it seriously, so I had no choice but to ask Detective Mori to come and help investigate... Look, this is the threatening letter."

Midori Ozaki's voice rang in my ears.

However, Conan merely glanced back at the contents of the threatening letter before walking away without looking back.

Ran Mouri and Kogoro Mouri were not paying any attention to Conan.

They looked at the threatening letter and were slightly surprised by its contents.

The Flower of Death will bloom at the Red Flower Seaside Hotel.

Every word here is clearly cut out from other posters and pasted on, so it's impossible to tell what the writer's style is. However, the content is quite clear.

They wanted to commit a heinous murder at the Red Flower Seaside Hotel.

"Yes, of course I saw it."

"Don't worry, Ms. Ozaki, leave this to me, the great detective Kogoro Mouri!"

"I said smugly."

After saying that, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The guests nearby cast strange glances at them.

If the guests here were to rate Kogoro Mouri out of 100, he would probably score -100, because his behavior and speaking style are completely out of place here.

Ran Mouri nudged Kogoro Mouri somewhat awkwardly.
