"Although I don't have a childhood sweetheart either, I'm certainly not as noble as some great detectives, for whom even seeing their childhood sweetheart one last time isn't as important as solving a case!"
"What did you say? Who do you think you are?" Hattori Heiji, who was internally questioning himself, instantly became furious upon hearing Numabuchi Ichiro's words. He roared, "Numabuchi, you're a wanted murderer! What right do you have to speak here!"
Numabuchi Ichiro smirked and chuckled disdainfully, “Ah, yes, yes, I’m a murderer, but I also know that family is the most important thing in the world!” After saying that, he gave Hattori Heiji a provocative look.
"you……"
Hattori Heiji was furious and was about to retort when he was interrupted by the Horror House.
[Player Ichiro Numabuchi made a choice, which, upon confirmation, reflects the player's true feelings.]
[Congratulations to player Numabuchi Ichiro for successfully completing the game. You can leave after the gate opens.]
After hearing the broadcast, Conan saw that Numabuchi Ichiro had already walked to the door, looking ready to run away at any moment. He immediately grabbed Hattori Heiji nervously: "Hattori, we have to make a decision. If Numabuchi Ichiro just leaves like this, it will be too difficult to catch him later!"
Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji's face also showed anxiety.
That's right, Ichiro Numabuchi was the key figure in solving the Osaka serial murder case!
If they let him get away, wouldn't all their previous efforts be in vain?
Moreover, we must not let Numabuchi Ichiro escape until he honestly explains everything.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to this high school detective?
“I’ve chosen to solve the case first. I think if Kazuo knew, he would agree with my choice.” Hattori Heiji said, glaring at Numabuchi Ichiro. “After all, even if I get to the hospital, I can only watch helplessly as the doctors try to save me. It’s better to use this time to catch the murderer first.”
"I share the same thought as Hattori." Conan also made his decision.
Since their childhood sweetheart has already been in a car accident, there's nothing they can do to help even if they rush over. It would be better to catch the murderer first, so as to prevent more people from being harmed.
[The choices made by players regarding Heiji Hattori and Conan Edogawa have been confirmed to reflect the players' genuine feelings.]
[Congratulations to player Heiji Hattori and Conan Edogawa for successfully completing the level. You can leave after the gate opens.]
...
"Heh...heh...what a great choice, I'd agree too!" Kazuha listened to Hattori Heiji's choice, her face showing disbelief, and let out a few cold laughs.
My mood began to grow heavy, and the expectant look in my eyes gradually dimmed.
"Hanyu-kun, the door will be opening soon!"
After receiving a positive answer from Yuzuru, Kazuha, exuding black aura, walked firmly toward the cabin.
She wanted to make Hattori Heiji understand whether the case was more important or she was more important!
"Nan, and Ye..."
Seeing Kazuha's condition, Ran was a little worried.
Ran wasn't surprised at all by Heiji Hattori's choice, given that he was a detective just like Shinichi Kudo.
Having experienced similar situations several times before, she already knew what kind of people these detectives were.
I'm just worried that Kazuha might not be able to accept it.
"Let's go, let's go together."
Yuzuru smiled, casually waved his hand, put everything back into the capsule, and then followed with Ai.
Having prepared such a wonderful show for so long, I'm definitely going to watch the final, most exciting part.
When they arrived at the cabin, it had already been completely surrounded by the police.
Police attempted to break into the cabin after finding strange large locks and steel plates outside.
We have already contacted relevant researchers who are on their way here.
"Who are you people? No one is allowed to approach here!"
Police Inspector Otaki, who was leading the police force, saw several people approaching from a distance. He walked forward with a serious expression, preparing to stop them from continuing their advance.
"Kazuha? What are you doing here?"
Inspector Ōtaki looked at the girl in front of him and asked in surprise.
While Kazuha was talking to Officer Otaki about what was going on, Nanami Hanyu also made a phone call.
"You're Hanyu Nan?" After learning what had happened with Kazuha, Inspector Ōtaki walked over with a serious expression, looking the handsome young man who was on the phone up and down. "Could you please explain what Kazuha meant by 'escape room props'?"
Despite Inspector Ōtaki's questioning, Yuzuru Hanyu didn't put down his phone. Instead, he glanced at Inspector Ōtaki while making the call.
What happened inside that little cabin?
Inspector Ōtaki was angered by Hanyu Nan's indifferent attitude, but he still suppressed his anger and continued to press for answers.
However, Yuzuru still did not respond to him, but simply handed the phone to Inspector Otaki.
"What's this?" Inspector Otaki looked at Hanyu Nan with some confusion, not understanding why the other party suddenly handed him the phone.
Yuzuru Hanyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "You can ask your councilor Matsui if you have any questions."
After saying that, he put one hand in his pocket, ignored Inspector Otaki's drastically changed expression, and walked straight towards the door of the cabin.
Yuzuru Hanyu had no interest in wasting his breath on such matters.
There are still Ran and Kazuha here who need his care and attention.
Ran was gently comforting Kazuha, telling her not to be angry; while Ai was watching with great interest.
Seeing Yuzuru approach, Ran gave him a smile, indicating that everything was fine.
Yuzuru walked over to Kazuha and asked softly, "Are you alright, Kazuha-kun?"
Kazuha shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Yu Sheng Nan then offered a few more words of gentle comfort.
A few minutes later, Inspector Otaki, who had been looking serious just moments before, walked over with a smile on his face, holding his phone.
"Haha, it's Yuzuru Hanyu! You're so young and promising. Councilor Matsui has already told me what happened!" Inspector Otaki said enthusiastically.
Yuzuru glanced at the phone in Inspector Ōtaki's hand, took the phone from him, and casually waved, indicating that Inspector Ōtaki could leave.
Inspector Ōtaki quickly nodded and bowed, not daring to say another word, and respectfully withdrew.
When he received the call from Representative Matsui, Representative Matsui sternly warned him to treat Hanyu Kusunoki well and told him that Hanyu Kusunoki was a very important person.
If Yuzuru Hanyu feels dissatisfied or offended, then he can forget about continuing to be a policeman.
Inspector Otaki was well aware of Representative Matsui's background and influence, and he had no doubt that Representative Matsui was capable of carrying out this threat.
After all, Representative Matsui was the leader of the Osaka Restoration Party, wielding enormous political power. Dealing with a mere police inspector like him would be incredibly easy.
