Just when Hattori Heiji guessed where Kudo Shinichi was, from outside the door of the detective office, a middle-aged woman came in, although the woman was very old, but she looked very temperamental.

"How long are you going to keep me ringing the doorbell outside, your detective agency is quite good at receiving guests."

"I'm so embarrassed ......"

Seeing the guests coming to the door, Mori Kogoro immediately went up to receive them, and Hattori Heiji saw that there were customers, so he didn't say anything more, and stayed quietly aside.

Soon, the middle-aged woman told the content of the commission and gave Mori Kogoro a copy of the information at the same time.

After receiving the information, Mori Kogoro looked at it, "You want me to investigate the conduct of your father-in-law's daughter-in-law." ”

The woman nodded.

"But the girl in the information is a person of excellent character and learning, what do you dislike about her?" Maori Kogoro wondered, judging from the information, the person under investigation was almost a perfect girl.

"No...... It's just ......" the client's eyes were a little evasive.

Hattori Heiji lay on the chair, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, "It's just because she's too perfect, so you don't like it, isn't that the case, humans are originally suspicious and jealous animals......"

Hearing Hattori's voice, the middle-aged woman frowned.

"Detective Hattori Heiji only guesses others maliciously like this, that's really a little too disappointing, it looks like you're far inferior to Kudo Shinichi," Xia Ruo refuted Hattori's opinion.

Xia Ruo, who had read the original work, naturally knew that the woman who commissioned the investigation was actually her daughter, and it was not because she was unpleasant and jealous at all.

Moreover, at the end of this case, Heiji Hattori, who wanted to compete with Shinichi Kudo, was in a hurry, made a mistake in reasoning, and admitted the wrong criminal, or finally Conan became older and found the real culprit, so it is true that Heiji Hattori is not as good as Shinichi.

"It's just an assistant, who is more powerful, me or Kudo Shinichi, you still have to compare to know."

Hattori Heiji took a deep look at Xia Ruo, pursed his lips, and did not continue to say anything.

Xiaolan on the side gave Xia Ruo a thumbs up, she had long seen that this Hattori was not pleasing to the eye.

The client was the diplomat's wife, and finally, at her invitation, everyone went to the diplomat's house, even Heiji Hattori, because he said that there was a possibility that Kudo Shinichi might have something.

However, because of the cold and Lao Baigan, Conan's body began to heat up, and his consciousness was a little blurred.

"What's going on? I'm hot, but it wouldn't be nice if I let the detective figure out something," Conan finally followed.

Xiaolan noticed the swaying Conan and was a little worried.

"What did you just give him?"

"It's wine, a specialty of China, called Baigan, which has a special effect on colds," Hattori said with a smile.

"Ah, is Conan drunk?" Xiaolan looked at Conan worriedly.

Although Xiaolan wants Conan to rest at home, Conan still wants to come, and Xiaolan can't help it.

……

Soon, the crowd came to the diplomat's house.

On the way into the house, I also met some people in the diplomat's family, the diplomat's son, the son's girlfriend, the housekeeper, and the diplomat's father.

Everyone said a few words.

Xia Ruo is very familiar with this link, this is the roll call, after a while, the dead people are selected, and the deceased and the suspects are all selected among these people.

Finally, the group followed the diplomat's wife to the outside of the diplomat's room and reached out and knocked on the door.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Husband."

The diplomat's wife began to knock on the door, but she called for a long time and there was no response in the house.

"Strange, isn't he there?" The diplomat's wife took out the key and opened the door, which revealed that the diplomat seemed to be sleeping in a chair.

"Husband, aren't you in the study? Really, the stereo was turned on and I fell asleep like this," the diplomat's wife walked over.

Syllable!

After being touched by the diplomat's wife, the diplomat's body fell and fell to the ground.

"Husband, wake up, husband."

Startled by the sound of the man falling to the ground, everyone hurriedly came to the side of the diplomat, Hattori Heiji checked it, and shook his head at the diplomat's wife.

"No need to scream, he's dead."

Maori Kogoro skillfully waved his hand at Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, hurry up and call the police." ”

"Oh, good."

Xiaolan immediately went to call the police.

Conan was looking closely at the deceased's body at this time, "There is still residual warmth on the deceased's body, and his lips are starting to turn purple, and there are ...... A small red dot appeared in his ear. ”

"Wait a minute......"

Conan noticed a needle on the ground, "That's the murder weapon." ”

Conan, who was about to pick up the needle, and Heiji Hattori happened to collide with each other, and the movements of the two were quite consistent.

"It hurts!"

Hattori Heiji grabbed Conan and picked him up, "How can this little ghost be in such a place, how can a child see the corpse." ”

Although Heiji Hattori noticed that Conan was a little strange, he didn't think much about it, and Conan was still looking around for clues.

It's just that as time goes by, although Conan has found some clues, Conan's body is getting hotter and hotter, and his consciousness is getting more and more blurred.

"Damn, the case hasn't been solved yet......"

Conan felt that with his body, he might not be able to support himself to continue to solve the case, so Conan glanced at Xia Ruo, who was the same outsider next to him.

"Xia Ruo, you should already know about the prisoner."

"Well, it's the diplomat's wife," Xia Ruo immediately said who the murderer was.

"Sure enough."

Conan shook his head.

is worthy of Xia Ruo, as he thought, when he and Hattori Heiji were still reasoning, someone already knew the truth, and ......

Conan also noticed that Heiji Hattori seemed to have been deceived by the prisoner's tricks and reasoned in the wrong direction.

"What's wrong, do you have a bad cold?" Xia Ruo asked Conan.

"Well, I'm very unwell now, and I guess I can't solve this case, so I hope you can help me, although I know you don't like being a detective, but this time...... Please. ”

"And Hattori Heiji may have guessed that someone was behind the scenes to help Uncle Maori, and he suspected it was me, so, I hope you can help me distract from this."

Looking at Conan's uncomfortable sweaty appearance at this time, Xia Ruo nodded.

"Okay, you go and rest first, just leave the case to me this time."

After that, Xia Ruo asked Xiaolan to arrange Conan to rest in a spare room.

……

By the time Officer Twilight arrived, Heiji Hattori had already found all the clues and began his own reasoning.

Of course, because he was in too much of a hurry, his reasoning was led in the wrong direction by the prisoner, and his reasoning was also wrong.

"This deceased was poisoned, the wound is the eye of the needle next to the ear, and there is a falling murder weapon next to the deceased, although the deceased died with his hand on his cheek, but in my opinion, it is estimated that he was stabbed to death with a poisonous needle, and then deliberately put in this pose......"

Heiji Hattori is also paying attention to the surroundings when reasoning.

Kudo Shinichi didn't come, that Maori Kogoro looked like a fool at first glance, and he didn't find anything, and it seems that someone was helping him behind the strange cases that were solved before.

As for that Xia Ruo, I originally thought that the person behind Maori Kogoro would be him, but from the moment he entered the room, the other party behaved like Xiaolan, completely a layman.

"Shinichi Kudo, have you given up? In that case......

Heiji Hattori didn't wait for Shinichi Kudo, so he asked Officer Twilight to send someone to recreate the modus operandi of the prisoner using a fishing line to make a secret room, and finally identified the prisoner.

Heiji Hattori looked at the diplomat's father.

"That's right, old man, the prisoner is you, you used the fishing line to create a secret room, the evidence is the fishing line I found in the room, this kind of fishing line is the hardest material, you can fish, you shouldn't know it."

The old gentleman silently lowered his head under the pressure of Hattori Heiji.

"That's right, that's me."

Hattori's face smiled.

"Kudo, I won."

The prisoner pleaded guilty, and this case should have been declared over.

Officer Twilight and Mori Kogoro were surprised that such a complicated case could be solved by Hattori Heiji so quickly and easily, and he really deserved to be a famous high school detective.

At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared.

"Detective Hattori, you're wrong, it's not him."

Just when Heiji Hattori thought the case was over, Natsuruo finally jumped in from being an outsider and negated his reasoning.

"What?" Hattori Heiji frowned, he had just observed Xia Ruo, the other party had always been like an outsider, leaning against the wall, why did he suddenly run out at this time.

"But the prisoner has designed such an ingenious trap, it's normal for you to be fooled."

Xia Ruo said, looking at Maori Kogoro.

"Mr. Mori must have seen the truth, but this time I won't bother Mr. Mori to come out, and this time I will show the results of my learning."

Kogoro Mori: "??? ”
