The so-called scandal had only been circulating for a few days, and strictly speaking, it was not a scandal. It could only be considered a one-sided love. In addition to the suppression of the people behind the scenes, no one dared to interview him or say anything. Within a week, everything disappeared.
At 6 pm, Minamoto Masayoshi had just arrested a bank robber when he received a message from Police Officer Megamo, saying that there was a murder case and that the deceased was a diplomat. He asked Yuan to come to the crime scene to help with the case after he was done with the work at hand. Of course, it was also Yuan's duty today. Minamoto Masayoshi immediately became alert. Speaking of the diplomat, wasn't it the first time Conan became Kudo Shinichi? Although he had forgotten most of Conan's episodes, he still remembered some of the important episodes. Also, the famous detective Hattori Hattori from Kansai appeared in this episode.
Speaking of Hattori Heiji, he and Minamoto had competed in Kendo and reasoning before, and they had always ended in complete victory. Therefore, Hattori Heiji had a certain shadow over Genji. It wasn't that Heiji Hattori's reasoning ability was too bad, but that he liked to compare himself with others. He was competitive and impulsive. Genji thought that Kudo Shinichi was already impulsive enough, but he did not expect Hattori Heiji to be several times more impulsive than Kudo Shinichi. Therefore, without a calm mind, one would not be able to make accurate judgments.
The most interesting thing was that when Heiji Hattori lost the match with Genji, he even cried (because he was only 13 years old at the time). Therefore, Yuan often teased him about this matter, causing him to not want to meet Yuan. It was not until Yuan went to the United States for special training that he became active again as a famous detective in Kansai.
Officer Megure came to the diplomat's house. The deceased was called Tatsumura, a diplomat. There were a total of four main suspects: Tatsumura's wife, Tatsumura Komi, Tatsumura's son, Takizen, and his lover, Keiko. There was also Tatsumura's father, Mr. Toshimitsu. Here, it was especially important to note that Kimie Tatsumura was the heir of Xun Tatsumura.
"Mr. Mori-san, is this a murder case?" Megure asked unhappily.”Mao Li laughed,"It could also be suicide."”Conan's Kimono Department immediately said,"It's poison!"”Conan was stunned. Hattori continued to reason,"This uncle was poisoned to death. Look, other than the red dot at the edge of his hair root, there was also a needle that seemed to be a murder weapon next to the corpse. Although the deceased was holding his cheek with his hand, in my opinion, it should have been deliberately placed in this position after his death.”
"This could also be a suicide case!”Just as Mao Li finished speaking, Hattori said,"Don't you understand? Look at this corpse. The lips and tips of the deceased's hands and feet have turned purple. There are also bleeding spots in the eyelid. These are all evidence of suffocation. Because there are no signs of strangulation or suffocation, the most likely reason is that someone poisoned him and caused him to suffocate to death. Moreover, he used a highly toxic poison that took effect immediately. In addition, the body temperature and the lack of livor mortis and stiffness can be seen. He must have been killed within 30 minutes of us entering the study. And the murderer is in this house."
After reading Heiji Hattori's wonderful reasoning, Megure asked,"Brother Mao Li, who is this young man?”Maori replied,"His name is Hattori Heiji."”Megure then remembered that Heiji Hattori was the son of the head of the police department in Osaka Prefecture. Later, he deduced that this was a murder case in a secret room. Hattori Heiji also further deduced that Kudo helped Maori solve the case.
Seeing Hattori Heiji's wonderful performance, Megure whispered to Maori,"Don't lose to him. Now that the Origin Lord isn't here, we can only rely on you. We can't let outsiders steal the limelight.”Heiji Hattori was shocked. Although Megure's voice was very soft, he could still clearly hear the rare but noble surname-Genji. "Officer, who is the Genkun you mentioned?" asked Hattori.”Mao Li suddenly said,"That brat, if he comes, I will definitely settle the score with him!"”No one thought much about Maori's words, but not far away, Gensei Shotsuki sneezed.
"He's the new young chief of the police department," Lan said.”Heiji Hattori continued to ask nervously,"What's his name?" "Genji Masayoshi, how do you know him?”Mu Mu said. Heiji Hattori immediately ran over and grabbed Officer Megure's collar."Is he the son of Yuan Cichuan?”Megure looked at Heiji Hattori, who was sweating profusely, and nodded subconsciously. "Why is he here?" Heiji Hattori sighed.”"Oh right, where is he?”"He's handling a bank robbery," Megure said.”
Hattori heaved a sigh of relief and thought,"That's great, then I can fight Kudo. But didn't that guy go to America for training? Why are you back so soon? Whatever, the most important thing now was Kudo Shinichi.”After making up his mind, Hattori Heiji devoted himself to the case.
Officer Megure asked some more questions and asked,""Brother Mao Li, do you have any ideas now?”"No," Mao Li replied. "If Brother Genji was here, I think the case would have been solved by now, right?" Officer Megami said disdainfully.”When he heard that name, Hattori's head buzzed. The name that had embarrassed him several times, the name that had caused him to lose completely in the two subjects that he was most proud of, Kendo and reasoning, had appeared again. The scene from many years ago appeared in his mind again.
Seeing Hattori's expression, Megure asked,"What's wrong with you? Why did he look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?" "No, I just thought of a demon."”Then, Hattori went to the first floor to investigate and collect evidence. He found a fishing line on the first floor. Hattori thought that he had won. He believed that he would win Kudo Shinichi's deduction battle.
Heiji Hattori came in front of everyone and said,"I already know the method of killing in this secret room and the murderer!”"What? You know?" Mao Li said. Mu Mu said angrily,"It's all your fault for being useless!" Looking at the fishing line in Hattori's hand, Conan knew that Hattori had fallen into the murderer's trap. However, he could do nothing but go to his room to rest.
Then, Hattori asked Megure to play the role of the deceased and deduced,"At the time of the crime, this room was a secret room. The windows were all locked, and the only door to enter and exit was also locked by a key. There was actually a gap in the seemingly sealed room, and that was the gap under the door!”"You don't think the murderer threw the key through the crack into the victim's pocket, do you?" Mao Li asked.”
"Of course, as long as there's tape and fishing line," Heiji Hattori said.”Hattori demonstrated as he said,"The murderer stabbed the poison needle into the victim's body like this. After killing the victim, he snatched the key away." After that, he would pull out the fishing line tied with the iron needle, stick the other end of the needle on the tape to fix it, and then put the end of the iron needle into the victim's pocket. It was best to let the victim maintain the posture we came in. Then, as long as the victim held the two ends of the fishing line and walked out of the door, he could pull the fishing line through the crack of the door and close the door. Then, he would lock the door with the key. Then, he put the key on the ground and pulled the other end of the fishing line over. In this way, the key would climb up the table through the crack in the door and naturally fall into the victim's pocket. Then, as long as he pulled hard, the fishing line would be pulled out and the fishing line would be retracted. A complete secret chamber was formed.”
Then, Hattori Heiji used the time elimination method to eliminate the possibility of the other people committing the crime. When he did not see Kudo, he said,"So the murderer is you, Mr. Tatsumura Toshimitsu! The evidence is this fishing line, and you know how to fish, don't you? And you went to the room later, and I found this fishing line in the trash can.”Although Tatsumura Toshimitsu was very surprised, he still admitted his " crime."" Yes, it was me…"
Before the old man could finish his sentence, a burst of laughter came from downstairs."Brother Hattori, you still like to handle cases impulsively!”At this moment, Kudo Shinichi's voice came from the room.""No, he didn't do it at all.”Everyone was shocked when they saw Kudo, and Minamoto Masayoshi pretended to be surprised as well. Then, Xiaolan started complaining to Shinichi. Heiji Hattori grabbed Minamoto Shoji's clothes and said,"What did you mean by that? Did I make a mistake? You have to remember that I am no longer the kid from four years ago. I am now a high school detective in the west, Hattori Heiji!”
"What a coincidence, Kudo and Hattori Heiji!" Kudo from the east and Hattori from the west have always been on par. Actually, I feel that Heiji Hattori is not even worthy of carrying Kudo Shinichi's shoes. Heiji Hattori's impulsive personality is only suitable for drawing hot-blooded manga, not for being a detective! The so-called Hattori of the West was just a name that was hard to live up to!”
"What did you say?" Heiji Hattori angrily grabbed the collar of Minamoto Masayoshi. Minamoto Masayoshi closed his eyes and said coldly,"Four years ago, you lost to me when we competed in my weakness, Kendo, let alone fighting, which I am good at.”Only then did Hattori let go and said to Kudo Shinichi,"I've heard a lot about you. Kudo Shinichi, you said that I was wrong just now. What do you think?”Before Kudo Shinichi could say anything, Minamoto Masayoshi said coldly,""It's not just wrong, it's a huge mistake! The murderer was not this old man at all, but the woman called Kimie Tatsumura!”
"What?" Everyone was shocked. "You've only just arrived here. What do you know?" Heiji Hattori sneered. Don't spout nonsense without investigating and collecting evidence!”Kudo Shinichi dragged his tired body and said,""Superintendent Yuan is right. The murderer is indeed Mrs. Jiang!”Even though Kudo said the same thing, Hattori did not give in. He asked,"Then let me hear what you have to say.”
Then, Officer Megure told Kudo Kazuki about Hattori's method. Kazuki took out a few bundles of fishing line and said coldly,""I just found this in a few other rooms. This fishing line can be found in any empty room. In other words, no matter which room the old man is in, you will mistake him for the murderer. Therefore, no matter what, you have fallen into the murderer's trap.”Only then did Hattori doubt whether his deduction was correct.
But Hattori retorted," But the method was correct. The key was indeed in the double pockets of the deceased."”"Is that so?" Kudo Shinichi asked. Then please feel the key that fell into Officer Megure's double pocket?”Heiji Hattori immediately touched the double pocket of Officer Megami's pants, who was sitting on the chair. Unexpectedly, it fell to the ground. Kudo Shinichi continued to explain," Because of Officer Mezuki's body size, the creases that formed when he sat down were larger than the average person's, so it blocked the passage of the key into the pocket. The deceased was obviously a little fatter than Officer Mezuki, so this method could not have succeeded.”
"Then let me ask you. You said that the murderer is Madam Tatsumura, so what method did she use?”Heiji Hattori was obviously not convinced and asked coldly. Kudo Shinichi said," When you came in, opera music was playing in this study room. There was also a stack of books on the table in front of the victim. The opera was played to prevent the victim from screaming when the assassin stabbed him. The books were placed to prevent the victim from showing a painful expression.”Heiji Hattori laughed without confidence."How is this possible? Who was the murderer trying to hide from?”
"The murderer did this for you, Hattori Heiji, and Mori-san and Xiaolan who entered this room with you.”Kudo said. "Could it be?" asked Hattori in shock.”Kudo Shinichi continued," So I'm sure that the murderer is the person who entered the study and was closest to the victim. That's the Mrs. Takamura that the source police department mentioned. The murderer is you!"”
Everyone was shocked. Although this woman was a second wife, she had been with the diplomat for 15 years. Now that she was old, why would she do such a thing? "So the victim was still alive when they arrived?" Megure asked.”Kudo said," That's right. In the beginning, Mrs. Tokugawa only used drugs to make the diplomat fall asleep. Then, Mrs. Tokugawa pretended to call out to the victim and stabbed the poison needle into him. It was normal that no one noticed at that time because the sleeping pills were very powerful and the poison needle was highly toxic. After that, he would die immediately. Madam Tatsumura had only prepared the opera and the book as a precaution.”
"But if the sleeping pills are detected, then this method…" Megure asked."No, no one will know because we think that the victim was already dead before we came in, and the sleeping pills are just to make the victim sleep so that it's easier to kill. The reason why the murderer brought us detectives here was to use the blind spot of not killing in front of us to carry out a psychological secret chamber murder. Is that what you mean, Kudo?”"That's right," Kudo said. "Then please show me the evidence," Hattori said. Because at that time, Madam Tatsumura did not even take out the poison needle.”
Gensei, who had been wandering around the room, said,"Hattori, haven't you noticed?”Kudo, Hattori, and the others looked at Genji Masayoshi. Genji Masayoshi picked up the key from the ground and opened the keyring."Because the poison needle is in the key ring. Mrs. Takamura's key ring is the same design as the victim's key ring. There's a groove inside. Mrs. Takamura, can you let us see the poison needle in your key ring?”Then, Officer Megure took away Madam's key ring and opened it. He placed a poisonous needle in the groove of the key ring, which was also taped.
"Then why did he kill the diplomat?" Megure asked.”Kudo walked to the bookcase and took a photo."" Her motive should be in this photo..." The murderer then revealed how the diplomat bullied his ex-husband and caused him to be imprisoned. His stepson's girlfriend was her daughter.
When the case was over, Kudo suddenly coughed. He knew that this kid was going to turn back into Conan. The following plot had nothing to do with the protagonist. Just as Xiaolan was concerned about Kudo, Minamoto Masayoshi suddenly felt that the way Xiaolan looked at Kudo was the same as the way Okino Yoko looked at him. However, Xiaolan's eyes were filled with worry, while Okino Yoko's eyes were filled with admiration and worship. Okino Yoko seemed to like those kind of reasoning experts. If Maori Kogoro in the anime was a little younger and didn't have a daughter and wife, I think they might have married.
Genji Masayoshi also went up and pretended to show concern like Hattori. After exchanging a few words with Kudo, Hattori said,"It seems that I've lost this competition. Kudo, Origin Lord, you guys are really good.”Then, Kudo Shinichi said the most classic quote from the Conan series,""There is no winning or losing in reasoning, because there is only one truth!”Hattori was stunned, and Genshou said,"Kudo Shinichi, I really admire you for being able to witness your deduction today. As expected of Kudo from the east!”Kudo Shinichi endured the pain and said," Speaking of reasoning, the Source Police Department should be better than me, right? He had only just arrived, but he had immediately deduced the truth!”" You flatter me. But Kudo, is there really only one truth?"”After saying this, Minamoto Masayoshi no longer looked at Kudo Shinichi. Kudo Shinichi seemed to be arguing with something as he used his last bit of strength to say,"Of course, I firmly believe that there will always be only one truth!”
After saying that, he couldn't take it anymore. He knew that he was going to become Conan, so he immediately ran out. Next was the matter of the male and female leads, so I won't go into detail.
" As expected of Brother Yuan," Officer Mumu said happily." You can solve any case you want!"”Before he could finish his sentence, Mao Li rushed over and grabbed his collar."Brat, what did you do to Miss Yoko?”A cold killing intent suddenly emanated from Genji Masayoshi's body. He then grabbed Mao Li's hand and kicked him to the ground. "Mr. Mao Li, I don't know what you're talking about.”Minamoto Masayoshi's cold words made everyone present break out in cold sweat. Takamura's girlfriend could not stand the imposing manner and knelt on the ground. However, they didn't know why they were so afraid. Even the old Taoist, Mu Mu Shisan, didn't know what was going on. Why did he feel that the air had frozen? However, he didn't know what Maori Kogoro was thinking.
