Professor Ali had developed something new, so Conan didn't come with him when he went to Professor Ali's house. Thus, only Xiaolan accompanied Kogoro.
When the meet-and-greet began, Sawaki easily got an invitation for Ryoji.
" Welcome, everyone, to the press conference for Mr. Jacob's new book,'The Mystery of the Missing Riches'…" Jacob's assistant officially announced the start of the meeting.
The host's speech was boring. Liang Si picked up the book on the table and put it down after reading a few pages. It was a monotonous plot, and one could tell the ending of a thousand other books of the same genre just by reading one book...
"Jacob's writing isn't that good either!”Kogoro pursed his lips and voiced out Ryoji's thoughts.
"Dad, his previous books were all very famous. You should take a look." Yuan Zi was a loyal fan of Jacob's books, so Lan had learned a little about him.
It was a pity that something had happened in the garden today. Otherwise, she would have been especially happy to come.
"Actually, this press conference isn't just a press conference. Mr. Jacob will also reveal the mysterious gift for the readers.”
Jacob tidied his suit and stepped onto the stage with a serious expression.
" Everyone, you've probably heard that I wrote two endings for this book. The ending that I liked was not shown to the public. Today, I saved it in memory and hid it in the venue. If anyone could find him first today, this manuscript would be given to him. It's up to you to decide whether you want to publish it or collect it. In addition, there would be a reward of 100,000 dollars, of course.”
"Mystery novelists play a different game.
"Can I participate?"
"Mr. Jacob, do you have any clues?
The enthusiastic readers and reporters were ready to show their skills. Indifferent, and really fierce "The riddle is: yesterday, today, and tomorrow"
"Are there any other hints?"
"The other hint is that it's related to plants.”
Jacob believed that someone would understand what he meant. And this story would be the best mystery story in the world.
"No wonder Jacob set the venue at the garden. It turns out that there are many plants in the garden, which can be used to confuse people.”The group of people swarmed towards the small garden with the most plants.
"It's definitely not as simple as a small garden…" Yamashita Ming of Stallone and Jepson Detective Agency pushed up his black glasses and looked at the crowd leaving.
"Jacob wouldn't leave behind such a boring puzzle.”An icy beauty said. Her name tag said," Phantom Jasmine Reasoning Club, White Jasmine."'
"I agree with you." Masayoshi Matsumoto of the Baby's Breath Reasoning Club said.
"You all know each other?" Liangsi looked at the other five people besides him, Kogoro, and Xiaolan.
"We're all from the same circle. No matter what, he looks familiar.”Miss Yang Zi replied.
"Cough cough, but…everyone…I feel that Jacob's writing is very ordinary! I have to say, I've been reading this book for two minutes, and I really can't continue reading it…"
Kowuro was still criticizing Jacob, and he didn't feel that Xiao Lan kept tugging at the corner of his shirt to stop him from continuing.
"Shut up. What right do you have to criticize Mr. Jacob?”
"Forget it. This gentleman is speaking the truth. You don't have to mind.”
Jacob was not angry. Instead, he tried to persuade his assistant.
"Dad, you're too much. You haven't read Mr. Jacob's other books, so you shouldn't overthrow all of them.”After Jacob left, Xiaolan shouted angrily at Kogoro.
"That…that…"
"Xiaolan, don't blame uncle. He's only just met Jacob. Although what I said just now was indeed very unreasonable, I think Mr. Jacob won't mind if I apologize.”Liangsi winked at Kogoro.
Although Kogoro was not very willing, in order to make his precious daughter not angry, he could only mumble and go to Jacob.
Thirty minutes later, the people in the hall saw that Maori Kogoro had yet to come out and began to get restless.
"Why isn't Daddy back yet…"
" One of them is a master in the detective world, and the other is a master in the detective novel world. Perhaps the two of them hit it off at first sight..." Rukawa Ichiro said half-jokingly.
"Impossible. Let's go and take a look.”
Liangsi knew how Kogoro got the title of detective, so he didn't think he had much to talk about with Jacob. Moreover, Xiaolan was still here, so he couldn't leave her alone for so long. So…something must have happened.
He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. Coincidentally, his assistant passed by and opened Jacob's door with the key.
At the corner of the Mysterious Gate, Jacob was lying on the ground with a pool of blood. The ground was a mess.
Kogoro, who was holding an ashtray, was lying not far away from Jacob.
Liangsi touched Jacob's neck. There was no pulse. He had been dead for more than ten minutes.
