Chapter 52: Africans, Are You Trying to Challenge Me?
"O life! It's so lonely as snow! Yuichi, who was determined to do something a few days ago, had not shouted the slogan for two days, so he could only sit at his desk with a paintbrush in his mouth. The reason for this is that Mori Kogoro took Conan and Ran, the strange combination of the Grim Reaper duo and angels, who are not in Tokyo these days, either to attend Mori Kogoro's class reunion, or to other messy trio who have made outstanding contributions to the security of Tokyo in their own unique ways. Although other Tokyo citizens may be grateful for their grace not to kill, it has been a long time since Conan's head has been rubbed, and Yuichi, who may have recently awakened his brother's strange attributes, can't bear it.
"Huh! People are really cheap! ”
Obviously, a few days ago, he was afraid of getting involved in some strange cases, and he was a little lazy and stern and refused Xiaolan's exciting invitation to die with the detective, and now he felt that his life was without passion, and Yuichi, who couldn't help but mutter, "I don't know if they're back." If they come back, Uncle Ben can also have something to show off his IQ! Anyway, it seems that I suddenly miss them! Why don't you give them a call after work? Youyi, who may have been a little idle in his head, leaned on his head, and this strange thought suddenly popped up in his thoughts.
However, as the welfare of the traverser, the will of this world did not forget the extra blood of the Kudo family, and responded to Yuichi's request very carelessly, allowing him to deeply understand what it means to be struck by lightning without pretending to beep.
"Brother Youyi! Don't be in a daze! Come with me! This time it's a big case! ”
"What case?"
"Do you have any impression of the diplomat Ikemura who appeared on TV and newspapers the other day?"
"Yes! Looks like he's about to be sent to an important country, right? What's wrong? ”
"Not much! It's that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may have to send an ambassador out on a new mission, because just now the family of the diplomat Ikemura reported that he died at home! ”
"What? Inexplicably died at home? This familiar sense of déjà vu, let's talk about the twilight police department! The informant won't be ......"
"That's right! In addition to the wife of the diplomat Ikemura, it was our old acquaintance, Mori Kogoro's family! Faced with Yuichi's bad expression, the Twilight Police Department, who also had a headache, rubbed his forehead and explained helplessly.
"Sure enough! I knew that this kind of murderous case must be the return of the Grim Reaper duo! God, this is the first time I've found out that you may be my own father who has been left behind! Thank you for responding to my request! Although Youyi's face was full of grief and indignation, his body still broke the paintbrush in his hand very honestly, and excitedly picked up his equipment and ran downstairs.
"Brother Yuichi is really disgusted with having a case? How do I feel like he's full of excited cells moving right now? Could it be that I've been cultivating immortals lately lately, causing me to have some hallucinations? Looking at Yuichi whistling past him, the Twilight Police Department, who was a little surprised by his reaction, couldn't help but muttered to himself, you must know that in the selection of the laziest people in this office, Yuichi bastard, who has always used me to conceive the plot of the comic, has always been at the top of the list!
"Could it be that I am infected by this positive energy in me? This police department is really a competent police department! After making up an answer in his mind that he thought was the most correct, the same happy Twilight Police Department ordered a few police officers to turn around and leave the office, but they seemed to have forgotten that this was to investigate the murder! What are you two doing when you're so happy? Is it really appropriate to do this?
"The deceased Isao Ikemura! 54 years old! The corpse had residual warmth, purple lips, and strange red spots behind the ears, and it was initially inferred that he died of poisoning, and it was not suicide! So, maybe it's a murder! The specific autopsy results will be handed over to the forensic doctor, the bastards of the forensic department, cheer me up and look for other clues in the room! Especially something like a needle, because that's probably the evidence of the murderer's crime! As soon as he arrived at the scene of the crime, Kogoro Mori, who didn't care about explaining to the Twilight Police Department, and Conan, who was messing around at the scene of the crime, Yuichi, who hadn't encountered a murder for a long time, immediately commanded the scene with passion.
"Brother Kudo really woke up and changed his ways! It's about having that kind of drive! This is the demeanor of a new star in the police world! I, the most important guiding light on the road of his life, really aroused his fighting spirit? "I didn't know at all that Yuichi was forced to be like this by being idle and bored, and the Twilight Police Department was once again moved by feeling good about himself.
However, just as he was relieved to look at the talents he had cultivated and sighed, a somewhat awkward Kansai accent suddenly came in.
"Is it difficult to find these? You only have to look closely at the corpse to come to this conclusion, right? The lips, fingers, and toes of the corpse have turned purple, and there are also blood spots on the conjunctiva of the eyes, and it is obvious that the deceased was suffocated to death, but there are no traces of strangulation and no signs of drowning found on the deceased's body, and there is no painful expression on the deceased's face, so there is only one possibility left, the deceased was suffocated by someone who paralyzed the nerves with poison! ”
"And judging from the fact that the body still has residual warmth, and the corpse spots and post-mortem stiffness have not yet appeared, we find the deceased less than 30 minutes after he was killed, in other words, the deceased was killed within 30 minutes before we entered the study! The murderer is in this room! ”
Listening to this somewhat familiar tsundere pretending routine, Yuichi, who was carefully looking for clues on the ground, couldn't help but slowly raised his head and stared at the owner of the voice, this kind of middle two breath is full of extreme desire for other people's recognition, and the detective reasoning in the tone that has no respect for the police at the scene is obviously doing something! Kid, are you trying to challenge me?
After slowly getting up and looking up and down at the young man in front of him, who might be an African friend, Yuichi, who recognized who the other party was, gracefully took off the rubber gloves on his hand and stretched out his right hand with a harmless smile on his face, "That's a good point!" In the lower Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department search a section Kudo Yuichi, I don't know who this little brother is? ”
"It turned out to be Yuichi Kudo, a new star in the police world who has recently become famous! Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! High school student detective Heiji Hattori in Shimokansai is also! Seeing Yuichi's actions, Heiji nodded a little proudly, and then stretched out his right hand with a proud face.
"Oh? High school detectives? Hehe! Heard! Heard! It's a player of the same level as my cousin Kudo Shinichi! There are no shortcomings, just a little worse than me! Regardless of Hattori Heiji's look of eating a fly after hearing these words, Yuichi, who pretended to be invisible, pulled Hattori Heiji's stiff hand in mid-air and continued to squat on the ground to investigate carefully.
