Start By Becoming A Mangaka

Chapter 113: Countdown to Heaven 4

Yuuki was in his apartment. He had received an invitation to the opening party skyscr.a.p.er building. He didn't really want to go because he knew something bad would happen but his girlfriend wanted to go to this party.

"What do you think of this, Yuuki?" Utaha looked very beautiful.

"Hmm, it was my first time going to this kind of party," Ranko said. She looked quite nervous for some reason.

"Hmm, you're beautiful and don't worry that many of them are old farts, you don't have to think too much," Yuuki said, "Oh, that's right, don't use high heels in this party."

"Why?" Ranko and Utaha said at the same time.

"Because I feel something bad will happen, it'll be bad if you wear high heels," Yuuki said.

They felt strange but still followed his request.

It had been a few days since the murder case but the police still didn't find the culprit. They also told them whether he knew about Hara. He had heard Hara had been killed in his apartment. They also found a cup sake which broke into 2 pieces. He felt that the culprit was trying to convey something.

"Are you still trying to solve the case?" Ranko asked.

"Yes, I feel that cup sake is resembling something," Yuuki said.

"Doesn't it look like a mountain?" Suddenly, Utaha said.

"Mountain?" Ranko and Yuuki said at the same time. When he heard about a mountain, he felt he had solved this case. He smirked and felt the connection with one of the suspects.

"Did you solve this case?" Ranko looked at him.

"Well, I've come to the conclusion but it isn't enough," Yuuki said.

They were curious and wanted to know who the culprit was.

"No, let's go to the party first, we'll meet the culprit there," they looked at him with hateful expression but still followed him. They entered the BMW M5 and went to the hotel.

The party was very merry, there were many people coming to this party.

Yuuki saw Conan and his group and greeted them. They had some small talk until the event started.

Tokiwa told them to count from 1 to 30 and if they guessed it right. They would receive a Mustang Convertible as the present.

Yuuki was excited. He wouldn't reject such a nice car for free. He also started to count from 1 to 30 on his mind, though, he cheated with his magic.

The staff gave them a little flag and told them to raise that flag when they felt it was right. They also told them to give their watches so they wouldn't cheat.

Yuuki, Ranko, and Utaha were participating in this event. He noticed that both Conan and Haibara didn't participate in this event.

"Now, we'll start the game when she calls out 'start', count to 30 seconds and raise your flag," Tokiwa said while pointing her finger at Sawaguchi.

Sawaguchi held a stopwatch on her hand, "And...START!!" She clicked on the stopwatch.

"1,2,3,4..."

"10,11,12,13.."

Utaha and Ranko looked very serious in trying to count the numbers.

Yuuki didn't do anything and only waited for 30 seconds. Everyone started to raise their hands but he didn't do anything since it still wasn't 30 seconds yet. He was waiting for a while and raised his flag.

"OH, THERE IS THE TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE RIGHT!" Tokiwa was excited.

"What?" Yuuki was startled and looked toward Kogorou who was right. He was wondering what kind of luck this old man had.

Both of them walked toward the podium and decided to settle the winner with Janken.

The atmosphere was really serious and no one said anything.

It was the first duel between Yuuki and Kogorou.

"I'll take that car," Kogorou said.

"Hmph, in my dead body old man," Yuuki snorted.

Then they started, "JAN-KEN-PON!!!"

Kogorou and Yuuki showed their hands and as expected,

"AH!! I LOST!!! Kogorou was devastated.

"The winner is Yuuki!!" Tokiwa raised his hand.

"YEAH!!" Yuuki was excited. He had another car from this event.

Ranko and Utaha were also happy that Yuuki got another car and it was free this time.

Yuuki was talking with Ran about martial arts. He knew the girl in front of him was very proficient in martial arts especially Karate. They were talking very lively and made Conan jealous. He often came to them and disrupted them.

Yuuki was talking with her until he noticed Kisaragi, Sawaguchi, and Kazama were walking backstage. He knew there would be another event after this. He heard a strange sound coming from Kisaragi's cane.

Suddenly, the light off, the MC started to tell everyone about the next event. The MC started to announce that they would show the masterpieces of works of Master Kisaragi Hosui.

"Master Kisaragi is very proficient in drawing Mt. Fuji. He has spent his 30 years drawing Mt. Fuji to perfection!"

The screen started to show a painting that he had drawn his entire life.

Yuuki had to admit his works show a lot of passion and detail. It was a very beautiful Mt. Fuji painting.

"Now, let me show you his newest work!! SPRING FUJI!!" The MC said while making the gesture to everyone to see the curtain.

The curtain was slowly being opened and showed the painting.

"KYAAA!!!"

Everyone was screaming when they saw Tokiwa was hanging in the middle of the painting. It was a very disturbing image from everyone. They hurriedly took her down and checked her but it was too late she had already died.

Yuuki looked at one of the culprits. He knew who was the murder of these incidents.

The police came to the building and told everyone not to leave. They found a sake cup near her body but this time that cup wasn't broken in 2 pieces. They also found her necklace attached by piano's wires to the hook. So when the painting was lowered, she would be raised.

Yuuki didn't say anything he could solve the case but he let Conan do it. It was very easy to solve this case and he also knew the reason why the culprit murdered that 3 people.

Yuuki was talking with Utaha and Ranko since both of them were pretty anxious, even though they had gotten used to this kind of thing but it was still shocking to them. He tried to calm them until the building started to shake and the light went off.

Yuuki also heard the sound of an explosion.

BOMB!!

BOMB!!

"Kyaa!!" Ranko and Utaha were startled but they were being hugged by him.

"Don't worry, I'm here, I'll protect you no matter what," Yuuki felt angry. This time he wouldn't let them go.
