Chapter 45: The Black Hand of Sin
"What the hell!!"
At this moment, a police car appeared at the scene of the crime, and a group of grass and mud horses galloped past in Tang Ze's heart.
You just left the Maori Detective Agency for a short time, right?
Do you have a case when I walk on the front foot?
Seeing the dark-skinned young man with a Kansai accent, Tang Ze recognized the identity of the other party.
The black skin is also about the Western accent, plus the familiar hat, all of this represents the identity of the other party - Hattori Heiji.
The other party's self-introduction also proved his identity, and after some understanding, Tang Ze finally understood what happened, and also determined that this case was the case where the two detectives from the East and the West met.
Shortly after he left, Hattori Heiji went to visit the office and yelled that he was looking for Kudo, and then ran into a client who wanted to investigate the conduct of her son's girlfriend.
Since the other party's grandson (Note 1) was a diplomat, in order to disguise it, Hattori Heiji proposed that Mori Kogoro take them to visit his home as good friends, and the client agreed.
So with Conan, who was poured with liquor, everyone came to the client's house, but when they met the other party's grandson, they found that the other party had died in the room of the secret room.
At that time, Mrs. Ikemura, the client, took Mori Kogoro and others to her husband's room, but they kept knocking on the door and no one responded.
After that, Mrs. Ikemura took the key and opened the room, and found that the other party had fallen asleep in the room listening to the opera, but when Mrs. Ikemura went to wake the other party, the other party did not wake up and fell directly to the ground.
By the time Mori Kogoro and the others stepped forward, the other party was no longer breathing, and he died directly.
And after inspection, the room turned out to be a secret room!
After judgment, there was a conspicuous red dot behind the deceased's ear, and a needle suspected to be a murder weapon fell next to the deceased, and the preliminary judgment was that he was poisoned.
Judging by the residual temperature of the corpse, the corpse spots, and the absence of stiffness after death, when the body was found, the deceased had not been killed for more than 30 minutes!
There were two keys to the room, one in the hands of Mrs. Ikemura, and the other in the pocket of the deceased's pants!
In other words, it was a perfect case of murder in a closed room!!
However, although Officer Twilight asked Mori Kogoro and Karasawa to work harder, and pressed the uniform department to the same end, Karasawa was not motivated at all, but paddled and hit soy sauce.
After all, this is a duel between the two detectives, Tang Ze has no intention of interfering in it, compared to this, he still has an important plan.
And after that, everything was going smoothly, and after some investigation, Hattori Heiji confidently regarded Mrs. Ikemura's father-in-law as the murderer.
After drinking liquor, Conan returned to his adult appearance in pain, stood up and pointed out Hattori's mistakes, telling the world that "no one can pretend to be in front of me"...
Ahem, after some hanging, Kudo Shinichi found out the real culprit - Mrs. Ikemura.
And it all started with the events that happened twenty years ago.
Mrs. Ikemura was not actually the wife of the deceased, but the wife of another diplomat, Kenji Yamashiro.
However, Ikemura Xun blamed Kenji Yamashiro for corruption, which landed him in prison, and finally died in prison in the fifth year after entering prison.
Ikemura did this, in addition to squeezing out his competitors who were also diplomats at the time, but also to get her hands.
At that time, she didn't know anything about that year, and because her husband was arrested, her daughter Sachiko was also taken away by her husband's relatives and fell into a low ebb.
Ikemura Xun said that he divorced his wife for her sake and took advantage of the situation to marry her.
It wasn't until Isao Ikemura and his ex-wife's son, Guizen, came back with a photo of his girlfriend Sachiko that she learned the truth of the matter.
At first, she just thought Sachiko looked alike to her, but she didn't expect Ikemura to try her best to date the two.
After some questioning, Mrs. Ikemura learned the truth of the matter, and it turned out that Sachiko was really the daughter of her and Kenji Yamashiro, and Ikemura told her everything she had done back then.
Therefore, Ikemura Xuncai strongly opposed his son's marriage to Kenji Yamashiro's daughter.
And the reason why Isao Ikemura's father, the old man who was identified as the murderer by Heiji Hattori, took the initiative to jump into the trap and admit that he was a murderer was because he also knew the past.
In order to make up for the mistakes of the year, he planned to suffer on her behalf.
And the reason why she wants to kill is completely to make her daughter happy and avenge her ex-husband by the way.
"It turns out that my reasoning direction was wrong at the beginning, and this time I lost my heart!"
When all the reasoning came to an end, Hattori Heiji looked at Kudo Shinichi and praised: "It's worthy of Kudo!" Your reasoning is really powerful. ”
"You're wrong!" Enduring the discomfort all over his body, Kudo Shinichi leaned against the wall and said, "Reasoning is not about winning or losing... No matter how high or low.
Because... There is always only one truth!! ”
"You're right, I just care too much about winning or losing..."Hattori Heiji pressed his hat, "That's why I'm not calm enough." ”
"Hmm!!"
The anglic pain in the heart resurfaced, making him unconsciously cover his heart, and Xiaolan, who saw him weak on the side, had already hurriedly called the family doctor who lived on the second floor.
With a fever all over his body, a pain that seemed to melt his bones spread all over his body, and realizing that he might be able to turn back into Conan, Kudo Shinichi knew that he couldn't stay any longer.
He struggled out of the door and was about to go downstairs, but he happened to run into Xiaolan who was running over with the doctor.
"Shinichi?" Looking at the sweaty Xinyi, Xiaolan complained with concern: "You are a patient, how can you move casually!" ”
"Xiaolan!"
Kudo Shinichi's eyes began to blur, "Oops... If I change back to Conan now, my... Appearance... It's going to... By Xiaolan... See..."
The feeling of dizziness caused Kudo Shinichi to fall straight down the stairs, and the next moment he seemed to be caught by someone steadily, and then he was picked up and moved quickly.
By the time Xiaolan reacted and rushed to the vicinity of the stairs, there was no Kudo Shinichi in the same place.
"Shinichi!! Where are you!! Xiaolan shouted around, looking for him.
But to her disappointment, no matter how much she searched, she didn't see his shadow.
On the other hand, Kudo, who is in the toilet, is panicked by the sudden appearance of a figure who helps him, because he knows that he is about to become a child again.
But the next moment, a sharp pain filled his mind, making him unable to think about it, and the next moment he was about to shout.
But the next moment, a sinful black hand directly covered the towel and blocked his screaming mouth.
Note 1: Waiko means husband.
