Seeing that Conan was about to leave, Maori Hitomi asked casually," Conan, what are you going to do?”
"Shh ~" Conan hurriedly covered Maori Hitomi's mouth."I'm going to call Xiaolan."。。”
"Uh..."
"Ahh ~" A sneeze came from the other end of the phone."Seriously, it wasn't easy for me to call you, but I actually caught a cold. Listen, come back quickly, Shinichi!"”Lan complained to Conan on the phone.
"I have no choice. I have a lot of difficult cases around me.。。。”
"Wait a minute. Someone knocked on Shinichi's door. Let's talk about it next time.”Xiaolan hung up the phone.
" Seriously, I finally called him, but he wasn't gentle at all. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have called him," Conan shouted at the door of the phone booth." I really don't understand women."。。。”
As a result, everyone's attention was focused on Conan.。。"Haha…" Conan laughed dryly."Swoosh ~~ He covered his face and ran away.。。。。”
"It's useless to lie to me, Xiaolan. I know that Kudo Shinichi is here. Hurry up and call him out.”When Conan came back from outside, he heard that someone was looking for him in the house. He pushed open the door and saw that it was a man in his twenties.
"Ah ~" Conan rubbed his nose. Xiaolan turned around and asked,"Conan, why did you catch a cold too?"。Really…Don't move. I'll wipe your nose. What's wrong with you and the new one?”
"Kudo Shinichi caught a cold?" The dark-skinned man in the cap turned around and asked," Since you don't know where he is, how do you know about the flu?”
"Phone call…" Lan looked at the person helplessly and said," Shinichi's voice sounded nasal on the phone just now. He calls here sometimes.”
"Indeed, everyone says that you're Kudo Shinichi's woman.。。。”That guy pinched his chin and said.
When Lan heard him say that she was Shinichi's woman, her face instantly turned red as she shouted," Woman? Who said that?"
"Of course it was your friend, Suzuki Sonoko. She said that Kudo didn't even go to school, so you must have hidden him.。”
"Hmm?" Maori Hitomi, who was playing a game console, heard the unique Osaka accent, dark skin, and the baseball cap." Is this guy Hattori Heiji?”
Xiao Lan, who had a helpless and angry expression, cursed," This woman in the garden.。。。”
Conan pursed his lips." That b * tch."。。。。。”
"What did Kudo say when he called?”Hattori asked aggressively.
Before Xiaolan could open her mouth, Mao Litong walked to her side." Sister Xiaolan, this person might be a bad person." You'd better not talk about Shinichi's brother. Otherwise, Shinichi's brother might be in danger.”
"That's right... I don't even know you. Why should I tell you what Shinichi told me?”
Maori Hitomi pointed at Hattori Heiji." We don't know who you are. If you don't tell us who you are, I'll call the police and report you for trespassing."。”
"Um... I'm really sorry... I haven't introduced myself yet." Heiji Hattori took off his hat and cleared his throat." My name is Heiji Hattori. I'm a high school detective like Shinichi Kudo.”
"So you're a detective…Then what are you doing here? "Ah ~" Conan sneezed again.
"Eh? Little brother, you've caught a cold. I have a good medicine here. I guarantee that you'll get better after taking it.”As he spoke, he took out a bottle wrapped in white paper from his black bag.
Maori Kogoro, who was reading the newspaper, pinched his chin and said," Now that you mention it, I remember that there is a very good detective in Kansai. I think his name is Hattori Heiji.”
"Yes, everyone often makes comparisons between Kudo Shinichi and me.。。。”At this point, Hattori Heiji brought a small cup of liquid and handed it to Conan.。。。"But I didn't expect that I haven't heard any news about Kudo recently, and I haven't seen his face on the news.。。Come on, little brother…" Hattori Heiji handed the cup of medicine to Conan." You'll be fine after drinking it!”
"Thank you ~" Conan picked up the cup of medicine and gulped it down."It's so spicy ~" Conan muttered as he stuck out his tongue.
"Hiss ~ Hiss ~" Mao Litong's nose twitched a few times."This looks like white wine."。。Oh my god ~~ Old Baigan!!”Maori Hitomi's lips curled up slightly."It seems like Conan's first journey of becoming bigger is coming.。。。。。”
"Squeak ~~~"
A woman who looked like she was very unhappy came in from outside." How long do you want me to ring the doorbell outside? Your detective agency sure knows how to receive guests.。Could you spare me a moment to listen to me?。”Maori Kogoro, who saw that business had come to him, hurriedly agreed.。。。。。
Maori Kogoro took the information from the woman and looked at it." You want to investigate the character of your young master's girlfriend?”The woman nodded.
"But the girl in the information is an excellent student. What are you dissatisfied with about her?”
"No, I didn't. It's just that…" The woman stammered and didn't say anything. Hattori Heiji, who was leaning against Maori Kogorou's chair, said," It's just that she's too perfect, so I don't like her. Humans are suspicious and jealous animals.。。”
The woman snorted and asked unhappily," Who is that guy?”
Mao Li scratched his head awkwardly." That's my daughter's friend.。”
Then, the woman stood up." In short, you can talk to my husband about the details when you arrive at my house.”
"Then... Should I go over now? Then why don't you and your wife come together?”
"I just told you that my husband is a diplomat.。。。”
" There will be a scandal," Heiji Hattori said." Then...。I'll go with you."
"Why? Kogoro asked.
"Rather than letting uncle go alone, it's better to let others think that we're father and son.。”
The woman nodded." That's right. I'll leave it to you then."。。”
"Xiaolan. "I think you should come too," Hattori said.
"Why should I go?"
"The more people there are, the less they will suspect that the detective is bringing a bunch of children to work.。”
Looking at Conan who was running around, Xiaolan said to Hattori Heiji with a slight reproach," What did you give Conan to drink just now? Oh, that's a type of white wine that's a specialty of China. It's called Lao Bai Gan! It has special effects for colds!"
"Seriously, you're actually letting a child drink this kind of thing. Conan, are you okay?”
"No, I didn't. There was no…I want to go too…Sister Xiaolan…"
"Um…" Maori Hitomi looked straight at Conan." This is the so-called lack of alcohol.。。。”
"Madam, you're back!" the butler said.
"Where's the master?"
"I think Master should be in the study. These guests are..."
"He is an old friend of mine, Mr. Mao Li.”
" Mom, sorry to disturb you," the girl under investigation greeted the woman.
" Why are you here?" the woman asked.
" I asked her to come." It seemed to be the son of a diplomat." I saw that my father didn't want to see Yuuko, so I forced my father to agree to see Yuuko.”
"Then... Are these guests your friends?”Yukiko asked with a smile.
"Whether it's true or not has nothing to do with you. Also, I don't think you have any status now to call me mom directly.”
"That's right. I'm sorry…" Yuuko lowered her head dejectedly.
Then, the woman led everyone to the second floor.。"Tsk, she's just a second wife. What's so awesome about her?。”The diplomat's son curled his lips in disdain.。。
The people who were walking up the stairs met an old man. The diplomat's wife looked up and asked," What's wrong, Dad? You haven't gone out yet?"
The old man shook his head." I was just about to show you the fish I've prepared.。How is it? It's very big, right?"
"Mhm... It was indeed quite big…Then I'll bring them to Old Master first. I'll come to you later.”The old man nodded and went downstairs.。。
" Hubby, Mr. Mao Li is here."。Hubby?" The woman shouted for a long time, but no one answered the door.
"That's strange. Isn't it inside?”She took out her keys and opened the door." Hubby, aren't you in the study? Seriously, he didn't even turn off the sound system, and he actually fell asleep just like that.。。。。。。”
Mori-Hitomi, who had followed the group into the room, suddenly heard the diplomat's heart beat rapidly before stopping. Then, the sound of a needle falling to the ground reached his ears.。He turned around and looked…The diplomat's wife looked at her husband lying on the ground in horror.。。。
Everyone was shocked by the sound of the man falling to the ground and quickly came to the diplomat's side. Heiji Hattori checked and said to the woman who was calling her husband's name," You don't have to. Your husband is dead."”
Maori Kogoro hurriedly shouted at Xiaolan," Xiaolan, hurry up and call the police.。。Oh... Alright…"
Conan and Maori Hitomi were also squatting at the side, looking at the corpse. Conan muttered," There's still some warmth on the victim's body, and his lips are starting to turn purple.。Little Tong, look! There was also a small red dot beside his ear.。。”
Mao Litong pointed.。。。”
Conan followed Maori Hitomi's hand and saw a needle.。。Heiji Hattori also curiously looked in the direction of Morihi Hitomi's finger.。。" That needle should be the murder weapon, right?"
As a result, he bumped into Conan, who was about to pick up the needle. Conan rubbed his head. "It hurts…"
Heiji Hattori stood up and grabbed Conan." Why is this kid in a place like this? How can a child see a corpse?"。。。”As he spoke, he threw Conan to Xiaolan.。
"And you…" Heiji Hattori pointed at Maori Hitomi." Leave too."。”Maori Hitomi glanced at Hattori Heiji with disdain and turned to leave.。
" Humph! Stinky brat!"
Standing not far away, Maori Hitomi placed her hand on Conan's shoulder." How is it? Did you find anything?"
Conan thought for a moment." This guy died less than half an hour ago, and the windows and doors here are locked from the inside. The murderer must have a key or used some method to turn this place into a secret room.”
Mao Litong chuckled." That woman is the murderer. Do you still remember that I can hear voices?"”
Conan nodded, and Maori Hitomi continued," When we came in, I heard the victim's heartbeat beat rapidly for a few times before it stopped. At the same time, there was the sound of a needle falling to the ground. At that time, the woman was the only one beside the victim.。。。”
"But none of this can be used as evidence.。That's why I'm only telling you that she's the murderer. As for how to find evidence to make her confess, that's your business.”
Conan nodded in surprise." Don't worry. Since we've already locked onto her, it's much easier to find evidence against her."”
Looking at Conan, who was on the verge of collapsing, Maori Hitomi estimated that there was not much time left before he transformed.。。。。
Not long after, Officer Megure brought the police to the scene and examined the deceased.
"The victim was killed by poison, and the wound was the needle mark beside his ear. There was also a weapon that fell beside the victim. Although the victim died with his hand on his cheek, in my opinion, he was deliberately posed in this position after being stabbed to death by a poisonous needle.。”Heiji Hattori said to Megure.
