Chapter 120 The Duke of Darkness
"It's Maori Kogoro..."

"How despicable! They even hired a detective to do the work!"

"Since Maori Kogoro is here, it's better for us not to reveal secrets to each other."

Except for the Maori family, all other competitors who had obtained free places left, obviously isolating Maori and others and forming an invisible isolation circle.

Uncle Maori looked at the backs of these people gradually going away in a daze, totally confused and unable to understand what they meant.

After all, Uncle Maori didn't know what the free spots that his family replaced meant. If he was willing to ask Conan, he would probably understand.

Among the four members of the Maori family, only Conan knows the truth.

Uncle Maori muttered in annoyance, "Really, what do these people mean?"

As soon as these people knew Uncle Maori's true identity, they isolated him, which made Uncle Maori feel very uncomfortable.

Normally, as long as he reveals his identity, he will be treated preferentially and has a lot of fans. How could he have ever been treated as isolated as he is today?

Conan shrugged helplessly.

Suddenly, due to his keen perception, Conan sensed that someone among the departing crowd was staring at him, and he was so shocked that his whole body trembled.

"who?"

Conan widened his eyes and watched the people leaving. He couldn't understand why someone suddenly looked at him with such malicious eyes.

"Conan?" Ze Yu suddenly spoke, waking up Conan who was deep in thought.

Conan turned around and looked at Ze Yu with a meaningful look.

Ze Yu nodded. He knew what Conan meant. He activated the ability of telepathic communication, and an invisible mental link was established between the two parties.

After all, Uncle Maori and Xiaolan are both present now, so if Zeyu and Xiaolan want to whisper something to each other, they can only communicate through telepathy.

In the telepathic communication channel, Conan was the first to say: "Just now, someone among those people was looking at me."

Ze Yu asked curiously, "Are you suspecting that there are members of the Black Organization among those people?"

Conan replied: "No, I just simply felt that something was wrong."

Ze Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are being targeted because of Maori Kogoro."

Conan was a little confused when he heard Ze Yu's words, but he quickly reacted: "You mean, because Uncle Maori's identity as a detective threatens someone among those competitors, that person plans to attack me in order to force Uncle Maori, the detective, to retreat?"

"That's roughly what it means." Ze Yu said.

Conan nodded slightly: "I will pay more attention."

"By the way." Ze Yu suddenly changed the subject and revealed, "The identity of the organizer who initiated the event is the drunkard I just taught a lesson to, Jiang Yuan Shi'nan."

"The remaining people who received free places are: the long-haired man 'Konno Shiro', the old man 'Kinjo Genichirō', the fat woman 'Lin Jingjiang'..."

"The woman with the purple scarf on her head, 'Kamijo Hideko', the karate champion, 'Maeda Satoshi', and Maeda Satoshi's girlfriend, 'Sayama Akiko'."

Hearing this, Conan's mouth twitched: "You haven't investigated them all, have you?"

"Well, this is the basic skill." Ze Yu admitted his behavior without hesitation.

When Dr. Agasa called Conan, Ze Yu was also present, so after hanging up the phone, in less than half an hour, he investigated the information of those who had free places.

Although Ze Yu has a strong memory and has read the original work, he has some impressions of those who have free places. However, just in case, it is better to do it personally and investigate it.

The power in his hands is not just for show.

…………After finishing the discussion of mental communication, the two sides separated, and Uncle Maori took Xiaolan and Conan back to his room.

Conan told Uncle Maori about the free spots, which aroused Uncle Maori's interest.

As long as you find the organizer who pretends to be the 'Duke of Dark Night' among those people, you can get a completely free place.

After learning about this, Uncle Maori went out to investigate with great interest.

…………

In the blink of an eye, dusk fell.

Conan was the only one left in Uncle Maori's room, as the other two had gone out for their own reasons.

Conan stood alone on the small balcony behind the room, frowning and thinking about what he had encountered today.

"It's really weird. This is just a game. Even if we can get free accommodation, there's no need for us to be so nervous..."

"Is it necessary for that guy whose identity is unknown to me to force Uncle Maori to retreat? Could it be that this matter is not as simple as it seems, and there is another hidden story?"

"The look in that guy's eyes when he looked at me was full of murderous intent. It was not a normal person's reaction at all..."

"Dr. Agasa seemed to have told me that if you find the host who is disguised as the 'Duke of Darkness', you can not only stay for free, but also get a special magnetic disk. Is there something wrong with that magnetic disk?"

"Are those people here for that disk? I know the identity of the organizer. Should I go over and expose him and get the disk?"

The more Conan thought about it, the more headache he felt.

He originally thought that he came to Izu with Uncle Maori and Sister Xiaolan to relax, but based on the current situation, it is impossible for him to relax.

Conan felt that he seemed to have accidentally been involved in a new incident.

What a trouble...

However, as a detective, while feeling troubled, Conan also felt a little excited.

He likes the feeling of unraveling complex events and finding the truth step by step.

Just as Conan was thinking secretly...

A strange figure appeared behind him.

The figure was wearing a black suit, a dark blue cape, a top hat, and a sneering white mask on his face.

He is the Duke of Darkness!
"who is it?!"

By the time Conan noticed something and turned around vigilantly, it was too late.

The Duke of Darkness coldly stretched out his hand and pushed Conan off the balcony.

You have to know that this is a high-rise building, dozens of meters away from the building downstairs!
Conan was pushed down like this.

"what!"

In the air, Conan was descending rapidly with his eyes wide open, facing the strong wind with a look of horror, and kept shouting.

Fortunately, there is a swimming pool downstairs.

thump!
Conan fell into the water.
