The following day.
Xiaolan returned to the office from the villa early in the morning.
Kogoro Mouri is going to participate in the police investigation into the bombing today, and she needs to go and keep an eye on things.
Just last night and this morning, two more people tragically lost their lives.
One died at home, and the other perished in a paragliding crash. These two were students in the same graduating class as the two who died in last week's bombing at the Domoto Music Academy.
These four people have a deeper connection: they were the same four people who persuaded Akiba Reiko's fiancé to drink three years ago, ultimately leading to his accidental death.
However, the police have not yet found this clue and have no idea about the underlying relationship. They can only make a preliminary judgment that this is a series of murders carefully planned by the same suspect.
Considering that Akiba Reiko was also attacked yesterday, the police specially dispatched personnel to her location to provide her with security protection.
However, it seems they were sent back.
"Yeah, it's getting a lot of buzz."
As Yuzuru ate his breakfast, he glanced at the open newspaper in his hand, a hint of amusement in his expression.
The little maid prepared tofu pudding for breakfast today. The smooth and white tofu pudding was topped with a secret sauce, minced garlic, and cilantro. The taste was absolutely amazing and incomparably wonderful.
Add to that the steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and egg pancakes placed on the side, and the diverse and delicious combination of food instantly whets one's appetite.
"What's causing this buzz?"
Ai put down the fashion magazine in her hand, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of tofu pudding into her mouth, then moved closer from the side, her eyes fixed on the newspaper in Yuzuru Hanyu's hand.
The newspaper articles were all about the first concert after the opening of the Domoto Concert Hall, and several articles on the front page were closely related to this.
It has to be said that these media outlets are the ones who love to stir up trouble. They wish things would get even bigger, and each of them is incredibly resourceful, managing to uncover the identities of the four people who died in the past few days.
Everyone is now speculating whether the concert can continue, and the crazy media outlets are practically running betting odds in their newspapers.
"So, is it still going to happen?" After reading the news, Ai asked curiously, since this concert was a gathering that her family had planned to attend together long ago.
"Of course you can."
With a smile, Yuzuru took the tea egg that Akemi had peeled and handed over, separated it, took out the yolk, and then put it into Ai's pink little mouth. "With such a high level of popularity right now, and countless people discussing it, isn't this the perfect time to hold a concert?"
As for the Suzuki Foundation, the funders, they didn't care how many people died; all they knew was that the entire nation was watching closely to see if the concert would be a success.
Therefore, even if Domoto Kazuki unfortunately fell seriously ill that day, as long as his hands could still move, they would definitely carry him to the organ performance stage, even if it meant lifting him.
"Hmm...that makes sense..." Ai's cheeks were puffed out as she chewed the egg yolk in small bites. After thinking for a while, she suddenly realized the reason.
These days, who can resist free publicity?
"If, in that case..." Ai swallowed the egg yolk, a thoughtful look in her icy blue eyes, "If the culprit could blow up the concert hall right when the concert starts, the hype would probably be even greater, right?"
Hearing this, Yuzuru Nanami, who was eating tofu pudding, stopped, looked up, and stared at Ai Haibara, who was deep in thought, with an expression that said, "Ai, your idea is quite unique~"
That's exactly what he was thinking. The reason he didn't catch the fortune teller and the craftsman yesterday was precisely because he wanted to leave them alive to cause some trouble.
The Suzuki Group is the estate of his daughter, Ayako.
A concert performed amidst raging flames is undoubtedly more likely to be remembered in history than an ordinary concert.
Explosion + music = true art.
.........
After finishing breakfast, Yuzuru played with Yingying and Bobo for a while in a cheerful mood, then got up and slowly walked into the kitchen.
"Mingmei, do you still have tofu pudding?" Yu Shengnan asked softly.
"There's still some left, young master Yuzuru, are you still hungry?" The maid, who was humming a cheerful tune while washing the dishes, quickly wiped the water off her hands and made a move to serve Yuzuru some tofu pudding.
Yu Shengnan leaned against the threshold, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "I'm full. Akemi, can you pack me a breakfast? I'll take it with me when I go out later."
"Oh, okay, Mr. Yuzuru."
Mingmei nodded obediently, without asking who she was giving it to, and happily took out the insulated box, quickly and carefully packing up all the leftover breakfast from the morning.
Originally, a portion was prepared for Ran, but Ran had to go back to keep an eye on Kogoro Mouri, so she didn't have breakfast with them. The maid is now racking her brains about what to do with the remaining breakfast.
After all, wasting food is not a good habit.
While Akemi was packing breakfast, Yuzuru changed into a gray tracksuit. When he came downstairs, he was given an eye roll by a certain black-hearted little girl.
"Ahem, Ai, do you want to go out and play?" Yuzuru coughed twice and asked tentatively.
"I'm not going!"
Ai answered without turning her head, giving Yuusuke a haughty back view before walking upstairs.
She had no interest in going with Yuzuru to pick up girls. She'd rather use that time to do some experiments. Yesterday, she discovered that obedient broad beans were actually effective against facehuggers and Predators.
Feeding them obedient broad beans allows them to dissect themselves, which saves her a lot of trouble, as she doesn't have to do it herself.
This is another anatomical method. I'm interested and will share it with my friends later.

.........
In a luxury apartment building.
In the dimly lit room, the heavy curtains were drawn tightly shut, preventing any light from entering.
A lonely figure sat forlornly on the bed, his hands tightly wrapped around his knees, his head buried deep between his legs, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. Only his pair of bright red eyes, which remained even in the darkness, proved that the owner of this body was still awake.
On the bedside table, a tape recorder was playing music slowly, but Akiba Reiko's attention was completely elsewhere. Her expression was dazed and confused, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
