Aki Tsukishiro held his phone, replying to Hokuzō Hatamoto.
He had previously followed Aki Tsukishiro's instructions.
He had recruited Yuuko Chizuru to the Hatamoto Agency.
Hokuzō Hatamoto even personally supervised the agency's recent television program planning and drama filming.
He simply briefed Aki Tsukishiro on these matters.
After all, it was a rare command from Aki Tsukishiro.
He thought that his demon master.
Might be interested in these young and beautiful actresses.
Therefore, he instructed his subordinates to provide a list of current popular stars.
He offered them extra money to poach them.
There was currently a singer with an excellent appearance and temperament.
Hokuzō Hatamoto even used his connections to try to sign her to the agency.
Aki Tsukishiro was unaware that Hokuzō Hatamoto had done more than just poach Yuuko Chizuru.
He went a step further and was preparing a big surprise for him.
Aki Tsukishiro and Eri Kisaki were sitting on the tatami mats in the room.
Eri Kisaki rested her hand on the low table, her cold voice devoid of emotion, "I'm angry, I'm going to go back on what I said earlier."
Under the loose yukata.
Her plump feet were in Aki Tsukishiro's lap.
He held them with one hand, preventing her from moving away.
When they returned, a message came through on his phone.
Aki Tsukishiro started to reply.
"Going back on your word is not valid."
He put down his phone and pulled Eri Kisaki into his arms.
"However, it's understandable that Aunt Eri is angry. I actually got distracted for half a minute while receiving the reward.
Let me help Aunt Eri calm down."

"So, the time of the crime was around eight o'clock two or three minutes.
The perpetrator was a man, and he was seen running out of the room after the crime. Is that right?"
Sango Yokomizo looked at the witnesses.
According to their statements.
They were watching the celebration broadcast on television at the time.
They heard a gunshot from the next room and rushed out to investigate.
Sango Yokomizo was somewhat impressed by their courage. They heard a gunshot.
And they even took the initiative to run to the hallway, not afraid of being shot themselves?
"Speaking of which, where is the guest in the room opposite?" Sango Yokomizo glanced at the room across from them.
One of the witnesses, a middle-aged man, casually said.
"It's a couple. They went out before the celebration, and they came back after the celebration started."
In the dimly lit room.
Eri Kisaki could still faintly hear the loud conversations outside.
However, since a murder had occurred outside.
Besides the group of police officers led by Sango Yokomizo, many other guests from other rooms gathered together to watch the commotion.
It was quite noisy.
Because this inn was specially built for the Tenkaichi Yamatsuri celebration.
The sound insulation, although not as good as a five-star hotel, was still good.
Unless it was a deafening noise like a gunshot.
Although she knew that the sounds from the room couldn't be heard outside.
Eri Kisaki still bit her lower lip tightly.
To prevent herself from making a sound.
At the crime scene.
Sango Yokomizo belatedly realized that Kogoro Mori and Conan were examining the body.
"Hey, who are you!?"
He then recognized the already famous Kogoro Mori.
"You're that famous detective, Kogoro Mori!"
Although he often boasted about being a detective, this was the first time someone had praised him as a famous detective to his face.
Kogoro Mori was also beaming with pride.
Conan, however, curiously glanced at the door across from him.
"A couple? They didn't come out curiously to see what happened after the incident?"
Conan always liked to doubt everything unusual.
He quickly ran downstairs.
He found the front desk and, in a cute way, said that Kogoro Mori asked him to come down and help check the guest register.
After flipping through the register.
Conan quickly found the record for the room opposite.
"？？？”
How could it be Aki and Aunt Eri?
Conan was baffled.
They were also here to see the Tenkaichi Yamatsuri celebration?
No way, Ran said she invited Aki Tsukishiro and he said he wasn't available?
He ended up coming with Eri Kisaki alone.
Conan felt something was strange.
However, he remembered a few years ago when his mother, Yukiko, called him and accidentally mentioned.
Kogoro Mori had already divorced, but Ran didn't know.
So that's how it is.
Perhaps Eri Kisaki invited Aki Tsukishiro in the first place.
Later, when Ran invited him, she didn't want to see Kogoro Mori.
So, she didn't tell Ran to avoid traveling together.
Conan confirmed his deduction.
As for the two of them booking the same room.
Conan didn't think much of it, surely it was the common way of sleeping on a tatami mat.
It's not like they could sleep in the same bed.
Conan thought to himself that he was overthinking it.
Since there was nothing wrong, the misunderstanding was cleared up.
Given Aki Tsukishiro's personality, it was indeed his style to not bother coming out to watch the commotion when a murder happened outside.
He casually put the guest register back.
He thanked the front desk.
He had solved one mystery.
In Conan's opinion, the perpetrator was undoubtedly Seiichi Seji.
He reviewed their encounter with Seiichi Seji at the celebration.
His behavior had indeed been suspicious.
Soon, after returning, Conan discovered evidence from the photos the police had developed.
With a hint, Kogoro Mori quickly solved the case.
