102. Hattori's collaboration with Conan

By the time Hattori and Conan ran into the living room, it was already drizzling outside the window.

"Uncle, where did they go, Sister Xiaolan?\" Conan looked at Maori as he saw that only Maori was left, and a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman were in the living room, and walked over to Maori and asked.

"They're in the kitchen.\" Mao replied with his chin propped up on his hand.

\"Oh...\" Conan nodded.

\"Damn, the murderer must be the guy who hosted it.You see this card, if you don't get it right, we'll be the ones who were killed.\" The middle-aged man seemed to put up with it to the extreme, patted the table and stood up, and then took out a card from his pocket to leave a message.

"If you want this book, I'll be in the garage tomorrow morning at half past five.I'll put it under the seat in the back seat of the car.\" Maori read the message as he took the card.

"This message...\" Hattori and Conan looked at each other, as if thinking of something.

"Where did you find this piece of paper?" Conan asked the middle-aged man.

"I saw it caught in the crack in the door when I came back from dinner last night.\" replied the middle-aged man.

\"Hey, Kudo, what do you think of that message?\" Then, Mori reasoned, stating that these events were definitely done by the organizers, and Hattori couldn't look past a few retorts, listening to Mori not taking himself seriously at all, Hattori ignored Mori, but pulled Conan aside, crouched down and whispered to Conan.

"I think the person the murderer really wanted to kill was Mr. Fujisawa (a middle-aged man), but because Miss Ayako had some evidence that Mr. Kanaya (the host) was killed, she had to change the target.\" Conan replied with a touch of his chin.

\"Well, that's what I thought too.\" Hattori nodded and replied.

"But the question is, the evidence... What the hell is it?\" Hattori muttered to himself.

\"yes, and I don't have a clue about the first case.\" Conan chimed in.

\"By the way, let's wait for that little imp to come back and ask him what he found,\" Hattori suddenly remembered their purpose.

"It seems that this is the only way to go, and I have to protect Mr. Fujisawa, if my guess is correct, the murderer will definitely find a way to do it again.\" Conan replied as he looked at the middle-aged man.

\"Well, yes.\" Hattori nodded in reply.

\"Hmm, what?\" Xiaobai, who came back first, took the tray with the coffee, and as soon as he distributed the coffee to the people present, he was pulled aside by Conan.

"What do you think of the first case?" Conan asked bluntly.

"Well, that's it...\" Xiaobai touched his chin and didn't answer.

\"A week's worth of chocolate.\" Conan said as he looked at Shiro and held out a finger.

\"Well, I'd better think about it.\" Xiaobai replied by touching his chin.

"A month," Conan said as if determined.

\"Well, this can be had.\" Xiaobai smiled and nodded.

\"Then you can hurry up.\" Conan twitched the corners of his mouth, a month, my pocket money.

\"Before I say that, let me ask you a question, did you see the organizer's body move when the car entered the unsmooth road?\" Xiaobai asked Conan.

\"No, his hand was on the steering wheel when I saw him, and his body didn't move, in fact, it's me...\" Conan replied as he thought, and suddenly thought of something.

\"Well, it seems that you already know.\" Xiaobai looked at Conan and fell into deep thought, then looked at Xiaolan and the others who walked in, and walked towards Xiaolan.

\"Hey, Kudo, what's wrong with you?\" After watching Shiro step aside, Hattori asked after walking up to Conan.

"The murderer's modus operandi is already known in the first case," Conan replied.

\"Does that little imp really know?\" Hattori asked in surprise.Originally, he didn't really have much confidence, but when he heard Conan's affirmative answer, he had to believe this reality.

\"Well, the organizer died the day we came, by the time everyone was resting, which is why we didn't see him yesterday.And as for the strange noise coming from inside the car, it was not the air conditioner, but the heating.That's why we didn't find the water droplets.\" Conan whispered his reasoning to Hattori.

\"That little ghost, will you already know who the murderer is?\" After hearing Conan's reasoning, Hattori looked at Xiaobai and asked Conan beside him.

\"Well, I think he must know.\" Conan also looked at Xiaobai and replied in an affirmative tone.

\"Why are you so sure?\" Hattori asked Conan.

"It's just a feeling.\" Conan replied.

\"...\" Hattori was speechless.

"By the way, what did I just see you do with the "one" movement?\" Hattori asked, remembering the scene.

\"Heh... Scold... Can you not say this.\" Conan replied with a twitch of the corners of his mouth, as if remembering what he had promised.

\"Oh, that's okay.I think I'll ask that little ghost, and he'll answer me.\" Seeing that the corners of Conan's mouth kept twitching, Hattori thought of something, didn't care, and then looked at Conan defiantly.

"You're ruthless...\" Conan looked at Hattori dissatisfied.

\"Say it, I'll listen to you.\" Hattori looked at Conan with a smirk.

"I used a month's worth of chocolate for an answer," Conan replied calmly, but he was depressed.

\"Oh... That little ghost likes to eat chocolate.\" Hattori said as he looked at Shiro.

\"Don't talk about that, what do you think about the evidence?\" Conan shook off other thoughts and turned his attention to the case.

\"Well, if I'm guessing correctly, Miss Ayako must have the evidence of the murderer's crime.\" Hattori said as he looked at Conan.

"Well, that's what I thought, and that evidence, I think it should be...\" Conan said.

\"Quiz question...\" Then, the two looked at each other and said the final answer.

\"But, it's one thing to know, but that's not evidence of absoluteness.\" Hattori rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

\"By the way, we can do this...\" Conan then whispered something in Hattori's ear.

\"It seems that it can only be as follows... What's going on, what's the power out?\" Hattori nodded in agreement, but before he could finish speaking, it was pitch black all around.

"What's the power out?\" shouted the people inside the house.

"No, it was the fuse that blew out.\" replied assistant Hitomi Iwai.

"Damn, why choose this time.\" The middle-aged man said as he took out a lighter and lit it.

"Hurry up, Miss Assistant, use this light switch.\" The middle-aged man said as he instructed the assistant to follow him to the main gate.

"Hattori.\" Conan shouted at Hattori.

\"Hmm.\" Hattori nodded, and walked towards the other party while staring at the middle-aged man.

There was a "bump...\" there was a sound.

"What's going on?" the middle-aged man called out as he looked behind him.

\"This... What's going on?\" Then, the lights came on, and Hattori had already subdued the other party, and as for the other party's murder weapon, it had already fallen to the side.

\"Abominable...\"The murderer... That is, Toba Kento struggled hard, but after the lights came on, everything became useless, so it was only gathered into one sentence.

\"Sure enough, you're the murderer, Mr. Toba.\" Hattori let go of Kento Toba and said as he looked at Kento Toba, who had already stood up.

\"Listen to your tone, it seems like you've been suspicious of me for a long time?\" Toba asked rhetorically, looking at Hattori.

"Not a doubt, but an affirmation.\" Hattori replied confidently.

"Oh, where did I show my flaws?\" Kento Toba asked indifferently.

\"I've been suspicious of you since Miss Ayako's accident.\" Hattori replied confidently.

"What, you guy.\" Toshiaki Fujisawa was surprised by the result, as if he had just met him.

\"You guy, what the hell are you killing me for, I obviously have no grievances with you.\" Then, Toshiaki Fujisawa yelled at Toshiaki Fujisawa loudly.

\"\"Erin Adler's scoff\"Have you forgotten this?\" Kento Toba replied wistfully, but with a very angry expression.

\"Erin?is that the female star who preempts every time she speaks?\" Xiaolan asked the assistant next to her.

\"Yes, most of our boss's books are about Sherlock Holmes reasoning wrong.\" The assistant replied.

"It turns out that the book was all about Sherlock Holmes.\" said the young man after hearing his assistant's answer.

On the contrary, Erin Adler is the only woman who identifies with Sherlock Holmes, but I can't imagine that she would laugh at Sherlock Holmes.\" Kento Toba's angry expression disappeared, as if he remembered the book, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Erin Adler, one of the four people who defeated Sherlock Holmes, is also the woman Holmes respects the most, and even later when Holmes mentions her, he will call her "that woman", and she also fundamentally changed Holmes's discrimination against women.\" Xiaobai pronounced "Erin Adler" as if talking to herself.

\"You...\" Everyone present looked at Xiaobai, and it seemed that it was hard to believe that this answer would be answered by a child.

"Although the book\" Erin Adler's ridicule \"It's a mistake, what you're doing is even more wrong.\" Xiaobai shook his head and continued.

Toba lowered his head and didn't answer, while Hattori and Conan looked at Shiro in a daze.

\"I think the Conan Doyle Society must have reacted to this, right?\" Xiaobai looked at Fujisawa Toshiaki and asked.

"Well, although the book was released, many people were dissatisfied with the story in it, so they reported the book to the Conan Doyle Property Association, and the Conan Doyle Property Association took action after receiving the report.Because the Conan Doyle Property Association did not agree with the book, and at the same time sued the book for "Erin Adler's ridicule". Because of this, the book was completely banned. Because there were not many people who bought it, so this incident did not cause much turmoil.\" Fujisawa Toshiaki looked at Xiaobai and looked at himself, Nodding his head and replying.

\"I don't know, among the people who reported it... Is there you?\" Hearing Toshiaki's answer, Xiaobai looked at Toba Kento again and asked.

Toba's head had been raised when Kobai asked Toshiaki Fujisawa a question, and there was only surprise on his face when he heard the answer.

End

Kento Toba was arrested for homicide, and Maori and the others also took a police car to the station, and everyone was separated because of different destinations.
