Chapter 1158 Strange Pine Box

Conan turned around and saw an elegant young man sitting behind them. Seeing him, the man pushed up his glasses slightly and nodded friendly to Conan.

"Watanabe Ku." Conan frowned and called out the man's name in a low voice.

Sera Masaki asked with interest: "Conan, do you know him?"

More than just acquaintance?

Conan and Hisashi Watanabe haven't seen each other for a while, but according to his speculation, Hisashi Watanabe should be one of Mr. Asano's many identities.

Mr. Asano said before that he had work to do, was he referring to changing his identity to participate in "Dessert Battle"? ?

Mouri Kogoro and Hisashi Watanabe had met before at the Dusk Annex, so they recognized each other quickly. He was surprised and said: "Isn't this Mr. Watanabe! Since you are here, could it be said that Miss Chris is the one today?" Special guest?”

"No, actually I am here for Ms. Wynyard this time..."

"Mr. Watanabe!" When Nobushige was explaining to Moori Kogoro, a TV station staff member saw him with sharp eyes and immediately ran over in rough clothes. "You should stay in the lounge before the show starts. If you hang out in the studio, you will It troubles us a lot!”

"Sorry, sorry." Nobuhiro stood up as he was told.

He first apologized to the staff, and then said to Mouri Kogoro: "After the recording of the program, let's have a meal together. I heard that you have helped the police solve many cases during this time. You must tell me speak."

"Haha, no problem, see you after we finish!"

Conan watched Hisashi Watanabe walking backstage, still not quite sure what his purpose was.

Conan was not one to sit still and wait for death. He decided to take action immediately and secretly followed Mr. Asano to see what he was doing!

However, Conan had just taken two steps when Sera Masumi grabbed Destiny by the scruff of the neck.

Sera Masumi's smiling face immediately appeared: "Conan-kun, the show will start soon, where are you going now?"

"Uh..." Conan shrank his neck, "I have to go to the bathroom. My stomach, my stomach hurts so much!"

"Don't bother me. I have medicine here. Do you want to take it?" The smile on Masumi Sera's face became brighter.

On the other side, Nobushi followed the staff into the backstage lounge, where both sides of the competition and the judges were preparing for tonight's competition. And because he had the support of an international celebrity, Chrissy Wynyard, he was able to have a separate room. lounge.

"I'm going out first. If you need anything, just let us know." For this reason, the staff treated him very well.

Nobushige nodded and watched the staff close the door and leave.

After confirming that no one was eavesdropping near the lounge, Hiroki's voice sounded: "All surveillance on this floor has been completed. You can start taking action at any time."

"sorry to bother you."

Although Hiroki had solved almost all the troubles on the way forward for Nobu, he still asked worriedly: "Agent Watanabe, why do you have to do such a sneaky thing in broad daylight?"

"How can you be sneaky?" Nobuhiro disagreed, "Besides, we can't be considered in broad daylight. After all, the surveillance probes were destroyed by you."

"Can't we come at night?"

"Many departments of the TV station are closed at night, so I will not be able to take care of all aspects. And only at this time can I have an honest reason to join the Japanese TV station."

Hiroki still couldn't rest assured: "But the show will start recording soon. If they find that the special guest is missing by then, you will be more likely to be suspected."

"Then let's hurry up." Nobuhiro didn't seem to care much.

After all, a person's power is limited. Nobuhiro never expected him to find out the truth that led to Matsuda's sacrifice four years ago. He wanted to use his strength. Just like today's incident, Nobuhiro's real purpose is actually to find out the situation of the Japanese TV station, and then Hiroki will help select suitable tool people and use the tool people to achieve the ultimate goal.

Every time Nobushige passes through a department, Hiroki can leave his mark here to facilitate subsequent exploration activities. When passing by the props group, Nobuhiro hesitated for half a second before pushing the door open and entering.

There was no electronic equipment in the props team's preparation room, so Hiroki couldn't use it. Nobushige wanted to look for paper files, preferably old files from four years ago.

The preparation room is filled with all kinds of strange props, but except for the most eye-catching box in the center, there seems to be no other container to hold files. And this box didn't look like what Nobuhiro was looking for.

"This seems to be the fruit box used in Dessert Battle." Hiroki suggested excitedly, "Would you like to open it and see what the fruit is today?"

"I'm not a player, why are you looking at that?

"Besides, you don't necessarily know until you open it. You can roughly estimate the type of fruit by using the simplest weighing method." Nobushige walked to the box and reached out to lift a corner of the box. "For example, this box is made of pine wood. The density of pine wood is about 0.4-0.7..."

He suddenly paused and said no more.

Hiroki felt strange: "What's wrong?"

Nobushige put the box back into place and rationally chose to retreat.

Although Hiroki was happy that they could end today's operation faster, he was still curious about the reason for Asano Nobushige's abnormality just now.

Fortunately, not long after leaving the preparation room, Nobuhiro took the initiative to explain: "The density of most fruits is less than the density of water, not to mention the irregular shape of fruits, and there will be a lot of gaps no matter how reasonable the placement is. The weight of the box just now is not It’s so normal, I suspect something else is mixed in.”

"What's this? Maybe it's just a water bag or other heavy objects that the show assembled."

"In the past, this matter might not have been something to make a fuss about." Nobuhiro said with a complex expression, "But today Conan and Mr. Mori are here, and I always feel that something is going to happen."

His identity is sensitive and it is not suitable to be the first person to find out. Although it seemed a bit unethical to have so many viewers and staff in the studio witness the horrific scenes, Nobuhiro couldn't care less at this time.

He completed his job successfully and returned to the break room before staff noticed.

Five minutes later, someone knocked on the door of the lounge:

"Mr. Watanabe, the recording is about to start." The person who came was a middle-aged man with an unkempt beard. He was wearing the green work clothes of a Japanese television station and had a passerby face. He would definitely be thrown into the crowd. The kind of forgetfulness.

Nobuhiro didn't pay attention at first. He said hello and planned to go to the studio with him.

However, this person should never have suddenly introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Watanabe, I am Wataru Furitani, the assistant director of "Dessert Battle."

Nobuhiro: "..."
