Chapter 121 Another Duke of Darkness

"Kid, are you okay?"

There were exclamations from people all around.

"Cough cough!"

Conan fell into the water and coughed repeatedly. Ignoring the surprised people, he grabbed the wall of the swimming pool with both hands, ran out of the swimming pool and rushed towards the stairs.

At the same time, in Uncle Maori's room...

The Duke of Dark Night pushed a child down from a height with his own hands without any emotional fluctuations. He turned around and prepared to leave.

However, after turning around, the Duke of Dark Night was suddenly stunned.

Just opposite her stood another Duke of Dark Night, who just stood there, staring at her.

In the room, the two Dukes of Dark Night were in a stalemate.

The original Dark Night Duke was startled and extremely shocked, guessing the identity of the other Dark Night Duke opposite him.

"Is it Tokoro? Or someone else?"

"No matter what, let's take it down first!"

Thinking of this, the Duke of Dark Night rushed directly towards the opponent, but she missed.

The opponent's figure was just like an illusory shadow. The Duke of Dark Night just pounced over and only grabbed a handful of air.

The Duke of Darkness who had suddenly appeared has completely disappeared.

"………who are you!"

Under the mask, the Duke of Darkness's face was filled with horror. She could guarantee that there was indeed another person here just now.

But in an instant, the other party disappeared!
There seemed to be footsteps in his ears, and the Duke of Dark Night had no time to think too much and immediately ran out of the room.

next moment.

Conan rushed into Uncle Maori's room, but he was a step too late. There was no one in the room, not even a shadow.

"Duke of Dark Night, who are you?"

Conan frowned. He couldn't find the person, so he could only make inferences and guess the other person's identity.

As we all know, after eliminating all other possibilities, only one possibility remains. Then, no matter how unbelievable that possibility is, it is still a fact.

"Apart from our group and Xiaoyu, there are seven other people, including the organizer. The Duke of Darkness must be one of them."

"Just now, the Dark Night Duke's skills were very agile. Let's first rule out the old grandfather with limited movements and the obese aunt..."

"Is it Jiang Yuan Shi Nan? He is the organizer who plays the role of the Duke of Darkness. Logically speaking, the man just now is very likely him, but as the organizer, it is basically impossible for him to take action against Uncle Maori..."

"who are you?"

Conan felt a headache and an idea flashed through his mind.

Xiaoyu must know the true identity of the Duke of Dark Night. Why don’t he go ask Xiaoyu?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Conan shook his head frantically to get rid of the idea.

Absolutely not!

As a detective, how can he easily seek help from others when he encounters difficulties?
It is wrong to want to take shortcuts. Otherwise, if you form a dependence, that is not a good thing.

A detective who becomes dependent on others is definitely not a qualified detective. Conan knows this truth deeply.

When you encounter problems, you still have to rely on yourself.

Conan strengthened his belief in himself as a detective.

Just then... "Conan!"

Xiaolan's voice suddenly sounded from behind Conan, scaring him.

He turned around awkwardly, smiled guiltily and said, "Sister Xiaolan..."

"Conan, why are you soaking wet?"

Xiaolan squatted down with a puzzled look on her face, looking at Conan who had just run out of the water, feeling a little distressed.

"Haha, because I accidentally fell from the balcony just now, so I fell into the swimming pool..." Conan laughed dryly and said perfunctorily.

"What are you laughing at, you fool, what happened to you?" Xiaolan felt distressed and worried.

"But luckily, you are not injured. Go change your clothes quickly and let's go have dinner together!"

"Ok!"

Conan nodded heavily.

…………

At the banquet.

Xiaolan and Conan found Uncle Maori's table and sat down. There were two other people sitting at the same table with them.

One of them is the former karate champion, Maeda Satoshi, and the other is Maeda Satoshi’s girlfriend, Sayama Akiko.

Xiaolan sat down in her seat, looked at Maeda Satoshi with some surprise, and asked expectantly, "Are you Mr. Maeda Satoshi?"

"That's right." Maeda Satoshi admitted his identity and asked curiously, "You are Uncle Maori's daughter, Xiaolan, right? Do you know me?"

"Sister Xiaolan, do you know this big brother?" Seeing Xiaolan actually taking the initiative to greet a stranger, and the other party was a man, Conan couldn't help but ask.

He had a sour feeling in his heart, as if he had eaten a lemon.

If Conan World was a game, there should be a hint in this situation: [Your friend, 'Edogawa Vinegar King' is online. ]

"Of course, how could I not know him?" Xiaolan explained to Conan: "Mr. Maeda Satoshi was the karate champion of the island country six years ago. I started learning karate because I admired him."

"Huh? Is that so?" Hearing this, Conan blinked gently, his face full of childish innocence.

On the surface, he remained calm.

In fact, there were raging waves surging in his heart, and every drop of sea water tasted like the sourness of lemon.

After explaining to Conan, Xiaolan looked at Maeda Satoshi again and said seriously: "Mr. Maeda Satoshi, hello, I am Xiaolan. A while ago, I won the karate competition in the city conference."

"I never thought that I would meet you in this place. I am so lucky!"

Hearing someone praising him, Maeda Satoshi laughed shyly.

Seeing that his daughter was actively communicating with a strange man, and that they seemed to be on good terms, Uncle Maori put down his wine glass in displeasure and could not help but speak up and warned, "Xiaolan!"

On the other side, Sayama Akiko, the girlfriend sitting next to Maeda Satoshi, couldn't help but say, "Maeda Satoshi, please pay attention!"

Obviously, she was jealous when she saw her boyfriend chatting so happily with other girls.

Just like Conan, jealousy was boiling in his heart.

"Lan, this is my fiancée, Sayama Akiko." Seeing that his girlfriend was jealous, Maeda Satoshi quickly made his position clear and stood on his girlfriend's side.

"Hmph!" Akiko Sayama turned her head away with disdain, not bothering to pay any attention to Xiaolan.

"I'm sorry, Xiaolan." Maeda Satoshi said with cold sweat, a little embarrassed: "Akira is just jealous, please don't take it to heart."
