As Ayako finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.
Obviously, everyone realized this cruel fact after Ayako's reminder.
But this cold-blooded murderer is not just talking. He has killed two heirs, and Shinichi was also killed by him and has not woken up yet.
"Don't worry, we'll investigate everything thoroughly." Seeing the worry in the eyes of the three girls, Tang Ze smiled and said, "With us here, it will become increasingly difficult for the criminal to commit the crime."
"Even so, you must be careful," Ayako couldn't help but advise. "After all, if you watch too closely, there's no guarantee the criminal won't get desperate and attack you."
"Don't worry, we will sleep in the same room then."
Hattori Heiji raised his right arm and placed his left hand on his bicep, showing his strength: "If that guy comes, the two of us will beat him up and hand him over to the Gunma Prefectural Police."
Seeing that the three people's smiles were somewhat forced, Tang Ze changed the subject and said, "By the way, are you planning to go to Gunma Prefecture with us?"
"Investigate the demon dog?" Xiaolan's face changed when she heard Tang Ze's words, and she said with some fear.
"I, I... want to go with you..." Although Kazuha's face was also full of fear, she came here with Hattori Heiji after all, so although she was extremely scared, she still forced herself to set off with Hattori Heiji.
"Let's just forget it."
Hattori Heiji, standing by, though a bit of a straight man, could still clearly see the other person's fear: "If you go, you'll be on your own for the accommodation. Are you sure you dare to sleep alone?"
"I...I..." He Ye's face turned pale immediately when he heard this, and he stuttered and couldn't speak at all.
"If you and Ye-chan want to go, I can accompany you..." Xiaolan, who was standing by, looked at her best friend's hesitant look and couldn't help but speak.
But it can be seen that Xiaolan's face is full of fear and confusion, and it is obvious that it is very difficult for her to make this decision.
"You're already afraid of these ghostly things, so there's really no need to force yourself to go with us."
Tang Ze, who was standing by, saw this and spoke to comfort him, "Besides, we're not going out to have fun, we're investigating a case. If you go with us, we have to consider your safety."
Although Tang Ze's words were not very straightforward, they all knew their current situation clearly. He knew that he would be of no help if he went there and would be a complete burden.
"Okay..." Although he was a little reluctant, He Ye finally agreed.
"But if you're really that reluctant, I do have a solution."
Seeing that Kazuha agreed, Tang Ze looked at Kazuha's surprised eyes and said with a teasing expression: "When night comes, you and Heiji sleep in the same room, then you don't have to worry about fear and safety issues.
How about this, would you consider my proposal?"
As soon as Tang Ze said this, Kazuha's face immediately turned red, while Ayako, Conan and the other two looked at the two of them ambiguously, and they all showed an "aunt smile" on their faces.
"What nonsense!"
As the other party involved, Hattori Heiji was not like Kazuha who lowered his head like an ostrich, but his dark skin still flushed red: "How can the two of us live in the same room!"
"It's inconvenient, isn't it?" Tang Ze chuckled, "I know~ I know~ Men and women shouldn't touch each other~"
"Humph!" Hattori Heiji said unhappily, "This kind of joke is not funny at all."
“I think it’s a good proposal.”
Tang Ze blinked, and before Hattori Heiji could say anything else, he said, "Well, if you don't want to go, let your sister Ayako continue to take you to have fun in Tokyo.
This is much more pleasant than working a case with us. You finally make it to Tokyo, so enjoy it."
"Yeah." He Ye, who was standing by, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Tang Ze take the initiative to change the subject, and nodded with pretended reserve.
"Okay, the meat in the hot pot is cooked. Everyone, stop chatting and eat first."
After watching everyone finalize the subsequent itinerary after discussion, Tang Ze took the opportunity to change the topic to a more relaxed direction.
"Oh! Come on, eat!" Hattori Heiji picked up the colander and said, "I heard this is the flower-growing family's hot pot, so I must try it!"
"Actually, the spicy side is the real kick." Tang Ze fished out beef from the red bottom of the simmered hot pot and said temptingly, "This is really fragrant. Do you want some?"
"It's okay to try a little...it's not spicy, right?" Hattori Heiji was scooping meat from the bottom of a white, non-spicy pot. Looking at the meat in Tang Ze's spoon, he couldn't help but hesitate.
He can't eat spicy food very well and is afraid that he can't handle it.
"Don't worry, you'll know once you try it." Tang Ze placed the meat on the other party's tray, then looked at Xiaolan and the others and said, "What about you? Do you want to try it?"
"I'm just feeling irritated lately, so forget it." Ayako waved her hand.
"Let me wait until Heiji has eaten. We can't tolerate much spiciness." Kazuha, who was standing by, stared at Heiji and urged him, "Try it quickly and tell me if it's spicy or not."
"Why don't you eat it yourself?" Although Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes, he still picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.
"How is it? Is it spicy?" Kazuha asked with some anticipation, looking at Hattori Heiji's expression.
"A little bit, but it's nothing compared to the aroma." Hattori Heiji chewed twice and his eyes lit up. He picked up the remaining beef on the plate and put it into his mouth.
"Let me try it too." Seeing that Hattori Heiji had escaped the trap, Conan, who had been tricked by Karasawa several times, felt relieved and took the beef out of the spicy pot and put it into his mouth.
