"Are you sure? It was really Mr. Gray's cry."

"Yes, officer!" Ms. Jingzi said sincerely, "He shouted very loudly, I could hear it in the next room!"

"He was shouting, help! Someone is trying to kill me!"

"Ms. Keiko!" Kudo and Hattori hurried over.

"Eh? Teacher Yiyu, you are here too."

"Hattori, I saw you a long time ago. No need to pretend to be surprised. I also know why you are here."

Baijiu explained calmly.

"Hehehe." Hattori grinned foolishly, and suddenly realized something: "Kudo, does he also know that you became smaller?"

"Idiot!" Kudo quickly put his fingers in front of his lips and covered his mouth: "Keep your voice down, he already knows it."

"We'll discuss the details tonight. Anyway, he's just like you, someone you can trust."

"Huh? He knows your identity......?" Hattori kept thinking back to the time when he solved cases with Baijiu: "I didn't even realize that!"

Baijiu continued: "I just got here a while ago."

"I was on my way back from buying breakfast when I heard something was wrong, so I came here. After all, you will be here soon, too."

"I'm right, aren't I, Kudo?"

"So you are Kudo Shinichi." Ayanokouji looked at him and said, "You look a bit like Conan."

"Hey! The guy next to you is, as I recall, the son of the Chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, Hattori Heiji!"

"So why are you here too?"

Baijiu came forward to explain for him: "Aren't they close friends? It was Kudo who asked him to come to the hotel to play together."

"We heard that there was a case, so as two case-obsessed people, we rushed here to check it out immediately."

"That's right." Hattori smiled innocently. After adjusting for a moment, his expression suddenly became serious: "By the way, what happened here?"

"I heard that Mr. Gray, who lived in this room, was shouting that someone was going to kill him, so I sent the waiter to get the room card and open the door."

"Click."

"Officer, the room is open."

"Thank you." Ayanokouji expressed his thoughts and guessed, "I think he must have seen the crime scene last night."

"So you had a nightmare." He knocked on the door politely: "Mr. Xiaohui, are you okay? We are coming in."

He grasped the door handle and slowly pushed it open.

"squeak!"

"Huh!?" The scene before their eyes made everyone feel a chill down their spine.

The whole room was pitch black. Mr. Xiaohui collapsed to the ground in fear, his voice trembling and his hand pointing towards the ceiling.

“No…don’t!”

Everyone looked towards the ceiling in the direction he pointed.

A red Tengu with a ferocious expression and a long red pointed nose appeared above in shock, staring at them with a pair of big yellow eyes filled with coldness and gloom, and its white beard was clearly visible.

“Tengu…Tengu!?”

"Please...please forgive me, forgive me!!"

"Hey! Officer! Do you have any weapons?" Hattori patted his shoulder: "Get rid of it quickly!"

"I...I didn't bring anything."

"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!!!"

Xiao Hui supported himself on the floor with his arms and kept backing away, his head unconsciously resting against the wall behind him.

Baijiu half-closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Kudo and Hattori could no longer sit there and wait for death, so they ran into the room. At this moment, Xiao Hui raised his arm high, picked up the ashtray with an unextinguished cigarette butt on the table, and smashed it towards the ceiling.

With a loud "bang!!!" the two of them stopped where they were again.

The gigantic Tengu started to burn in front of everyone's sight and then quickly disappeared.

"Hey... Kudo." Hattori swallowed, his fists full of sweat: "We won't be confused in sleep, will we?"

In the morning, students were having breakfast in the cafeteria.

"Tengu?" Shira was shocked when he heard this: "You mean Tengu appeared in Mr. Xiaohui's room?"

"Yeah." Kudo leaned over the table and took a sip of soy milk: "It's just like shooting a special effects movie."

Shira took a stool and sat next to Kudo: "Are you just going to eat an egg and drink soy milk? Are you sure that's enough? It's not even as much as I eat."

Kudo waved his hand: "I don't have much appetite."

"Even if you don't have much appetite, you have to eat. Having more energy will help you solve the case better. The detective knows the detective best."

Sera generously put the sandwich on the plate into Kudo's bowl, then tore the sandwich in his hand into half and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Ah…..Wu…..Huff!”

"Don't look down on me. I deliberately broke the parts I hadn't bitten. Now there's basically nothing to eat."

Kudo kept patting his chest: "It's okay even if you bit me, you just almost choked me to death, you know."

Shira handed the cup to Kudo: "Come, drink my soy milk. The beverage area is too far from here."

"And then? What happened to that Tengu?"

Kudo ate his sandwich in big mouthfuls. “After Mr. Gray threw the ashtray at it, it started to burn and disappeared.”

“It disappeared after burning?” Sera took a deep breath and expressed the same opinion as Kudo: “It’s really not a tokusatsu drama?”

"You think so, right?" Kudo pinched his nose. "According to him, after Mr. Nishiki was murdered."

"He went back to his room to rest, but couldn't sleep because he kept tossing and turning, so he went to the bar to have a drink before going to sleep."

"I ended up drinking too much and was totally drunk."

"When he came to his senses, he found himself back in the room. He wanted to smoke a cigarette, so he lit it."

"Suddenly, he vaguely felt that something was wrong above his head, so he looked up at the ceiling."

"Kudo, there is residue at the corner of your mouth." Sera pointed and took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Thank you. Later, Miss Jingzi, who lived in the room next to his, heard him shouting and asked me for help. I rushed there after receiving the news."

"I also saw the Tengu at that time. I really saw it with my own eyes."

"Yes, I can prove it, because I saw it too."

"Huh!?" Kudo was stunned for a moment: "Teacher Yiyu, why are you always elusive?"

"It's not that I'm elusive." Baijiu took two bites of the bun and said, "Is it possible that you're too engrossed in the conversation?"

Baijiu continued Kudo's topic and continued: "Later, he said he didn't know when he returned to the room."
