"New ......"

Xiaolan looked at the familiar figure in front of her, and was at a loss for a while.

He is the new one......

New ...... It's me......

New ...... It's back......

"Where the hell have you been?" The countless thoughts and worries in her heart turned into a whisper, Xiaolan said softly, but tears couldn't help but flow in her eyes, and finally turned into a crystal pearl, slowly left.

"Do you know how worried I am about you?" Xiaolan looked at Shinichi stupidly, "I thought you ......"

"Fool."

As if the softest place in his heart was touched, Shinichi looked at Xiaolan with blurred tears in his eyes, his usually sharp thinking and shrewd mind were all gone at this moment, and now he just wanted to hug the girl in front of him into his arms.

But...... No!

Gently touching his chest, which was still aching, Shinichi smiled bitterly.

My Mission...... It's not done yet!

Now I ...... It's not really me!

"What are you crying about?" Shinichi forcibly put away the tenderness in his heart and said with a smile. Then, he looked at the young detective Osaka who was standing there, staring at him.

Heiji Hattori feels strange right now.

He knew that this person was the target he was going to challenge this time, Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, Shinichi Kudo.

But his intuition told him that the person in front of him was not the Kudo Shinichi he felt.

In his own impression, Kudo Shinichi should be a wise, astute, and proud person as much as himself.

But the person in front of him is not.

The blue suit and white shirt are the same as those in the newspaper, but the neckline is open at random, and there is a smile on the corner of the mouth, giving people a feeling of being extremely lazy.

This is Shinichi Kudo?

Heiji Hattori suddenly had a feeling of disappointment.

"Am I wrong?" He sneered and said, "You're saying my reasoning is wrong? ”

"Are you trying to say that the person who killed the diplomat was Toshimitsu Tsujimura, the father of the deceased, right?" The young man standing at the door leaned against the door, lowered his eyelids and said lightly.

"Isn't it?" Looking at the casual look of the opponent who was regarded as his old enemy, coupled with the previous feeling, it made Hattori Heiji's heart angry, "It will take at least five or six minutes to complete this technique, and this murder happened in the thirty minutes between three and a half to four o'clock, so there is no suspicion of Mrs. Tatsumura, who returned here with us at four o'clock, and also stood at the door to chat with nearby neighbors from three to four o'clock, And Mr. Butler, who welcomed us and Mrs. Tamura back here, was also innocent, so during the time when Mrs. Tatsumura and Mrs. Tatsumura came out to greet Mrs. before we and Mrs. Tatsumura arrived here, the son of the deceased and his girlfriend, although they had also been to the second floor, only stayed for a minute or two at most, so it was impossible to commit a crime, and the only person who could commit a crime was him! Hattori turned around sharply and stretched out his hand to point at the old man who had been silent.

“…… That's right. The old man was silent for a moment and closed his eyes. The man who killed my son, Ah Xun...... It's me! ”

“！！！” Everyone looked at the old man in surprise, and Hattori smiled.

It seems that I won!

Shinichi looked at Heiji Hattori, who had a satisfied expression on his face, and laughed softly.

Looking at Hattori's face with a happy smile like a child because of winning or losing, for a moment Shinichi seemed to see his former self, the young but confident self.

Isn't that the same true of your former self?

This person doesn't seem to be a bad person.

"Your reasoning ......"

"There is a vulnerability ......"

Facing the wind blowing slowly by the window, Shinichi's voice was faint as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

"What?" Heiji Hattori was really stunned.

"Let's not talk about whether a father will have a motive to kill his own son, even if your fishing line experiment will not succeed!" Shinichi's eyes sharpened.

"What?" Officer Twilight was also taken aback, "But...... But...... The experiment just now was a success! ”

"Take a closer look." Shinichi glanced back at Hattori and said lightly.

"Just watch!" Hattori was angry and pulled open Officer Twilight's pocket.

"Ding Dong!"

With a soft sound, everyone's eyes suddenly widened, and Hattori let out a soft shout.

"This ...... How is this possible? Hattori was dumbfounded as he looked at the key that had fallen to the ground, "I obviously ...... It's already time to get the line through the double pockets! ”

"That's because Officer Twilight is sitting." Shinichi picked up the key and gently opened the mezzanine in the middle of the key.

"When a person is sitting, there are folds between the clothes, which can block the entry of the keys. In addition, the deceased was fatter than Officer Twilight, and his pants were tighter, so the fishing line was taken away before the key could enter the double pocket! Shinichi played with the keychain in his hand and slowly walked to the bookshelf.

"And, don't you feel familiar with this picture?" Shinichi walked over to the bookshelf and gently flipped through a photo.

"Lost important evidence, it's not the work of a clever detective!"

Heiji Hattori's head felt as if he had been hit hard, and his mind suddenly shook.

"Important evidence is lost, but it's not the work of a clever detective!"

Suddenly, it was as if the black-clothed young man had once again stretched out his hand to himself after knocking down the last person with a knife.

Outside the door, a pair of golden eyes silently watched everything.
