Chapter 27: It's Me Not Me (3)

Adults are so busy with murders that they don't pay attention to a child who just has a cold.

Xiaolan is also in a state of distraction because she sees Shinichi's shadow on Hattori Heiji's body.

So the departure of Kaedehara and Conan did not go unnoticed.

Even though he was holding another child in the body of a child, Kaedehara didn't find it difficult. In fact, since Conan is completely unable to use his strength now, it is easier for Kaede to hold or carry Conan.

However, the former is absolutely impossible, and the latter looks too weird, so Kaedehara still chose to stand it.

By the time Kaedehara got Conan downstairs, Conan recovered a little.

"Hey, Kaede, Kaedehara, I can't leave yet..."Conan said with difficulty, "The case hasn't been solved yet..."

"The case can be handed over to another detective."

It's because of that guy named Hattori that I can't rest assured. Conan complained in his heart.

Hattori's previous behavior of lying on the ground and observing the crack in the door made Conan worry that Hattori's reasoning would go astray.

So Conan was ready to speak again and let Kaedehara let him down. But at this time, the sharp pain in his heart and the strong desire to cough came at the same time, so he couldn't help but grab his chest and cough a few times.

Speechless.

Conan stubbornly pressed down on his center of gravity with what little strength he had left, trying to increase the friction between himself and the ground.

But it didn't work.

Only then did he realize that Kaede Yuan was just holding himself with one hand, and he was about to float up.

The other self seems to have more strength than himself...

As his thoughts drifted, Conan felt dizzy, and the patterns on the floor seemed to be ghosted.

Kaedehara sighed.

"Okay, I see. I'll solve the case over there. ”

Conan gave up his resistance slightly, but still managed to glance at Kaedehara.

"The murderer is Mrs. Tsujimura, right?"

Hearing Kaedehara's addition, Conan was relieved.

It's the other me.

Walking out of the gate, Dr. Asasa, who had been called by Kaedehara in advance just in case, immediately ran over.

"Sora! Shinichi! Dr. Asa ran over and took Conan in his arms, and then felt Conan's body temperature, "-How can it be so serious!?" ”

Conan, whose consciousness was already a little blurred, was confused in his heart, why is the doctor here?

Unaware of Conan's confusion, Dr. Asa panicked and carried Conan to the back seat of his Beetle, a little overwhelmed.

He didn't know how to take care of a child, let alone a sick child. He thought to himself that he might have to take some temporary measures before going to the hospital, and he didn't know what to do.

What should Shinichi know?

The doctor thought as he looked up at Kaedehara.

"Don't worry, Doctor," Kaedehara stood by the car door, looking at Conan, who was already on the verge of fainting, "He'll be fine." ”

"And... Maybe you don't even need to go to the hospital. ”

Judging by Conan's appearance, he should not be able to wait to get to the hospital. However, Kaedehara still added a layer of insurance.

"Huh?"

"The way he looks now feels a lot like when we were younger," Kaedehara said solemnly, "maybe... He's going to be smaller again. ”

Do you want to get smaller? Wouldn't that be a baby? It won't split again, will it?

Dr. Asa was puzzled.

"However, it may also be going to change back." Kaedehara closed the door, "Doctor, I'm not going." Just promised Conan to solve the case - take him to the hospital. ”

Dr. Asasa nodded in amazement, then sat in the car to start the car.

But...

Shinichi may have to change back?

I guess it's just a joke about Sora...

Thinking so, Dr. Asasa was a little hesitant to go to the hospital. Because if Shinichi is really going to change back, then it won't be appropriate to go to the hospital.

Andβ€”Dr. Asasa opened the door again, shouting at Kaedehara, who hadn't taken a few steps, "Sora! ”

Kaedehara turned around.

"Sora, if... I mean, what if... You're really going back," Dr. Asasa hesitated, "... What will happen to you? ”

Kaedehara was silent for a moment.

β€œβ€¦ I don't know. ”

Kaedehara really didn't know.

Of course, he didn't think that there would be such a thing as two people turning back into one person, after all, the so-called "split" was just a lie he casually weaved.

But this "wrong crossing" can't be theorized as normal, and he can't make a conclusion until Conan turns back into Shinichi.

……

Walking back to the Tsujimura house, Kaede went to the study on the second floor.

Heiji Hattori has already begun his reasoning.

At this moment, everyone is gathered in the study, and the Twilight Police Department is responsible for playing the deceased.

"Sora!" Xiaolan pulled Kaede Yuan over and lowered her voice, "Where have you two been, where are the others Conan?" ”

"Conan, he's tired and going to rest, Sister Lan."

Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Conan was still running around the scene before, it should be no big deal, so she put her mind at ease.

Kaedehara stood aside and listened to Hattori's reasoning with Xiaolan. Probably because it took a lot of time to gather the crowd, the reasoning has just begun, and it has just entered the second stage, the demonstration stage.

"The murderer first stabbed the victim in the neck with a poisonous needle," Hattori Heiji gestured to the Twilight Police Department lying on the ground, "and then take out the key from the victim after he dies..."

Then he took out the needle that he had prepared in advance and tied it with a fishing line, and attached the end that did not have the needle to the key ring with tape, and the end with the needle threaded through the victim's pocket... Pull out the fishing line again! ”

"Then help the victim to the chair, put him in the position we found, and support his head with his hands," Hattori Heiji put his hands up and down to the Twilight Police Department, and the Twilight Police Department looked helpless to let Shi do it, "Then pull the ends of the fishing line to the door, pull the door along the crack in the door, close the door, and lock it with the key... Then put the key on the floor, hold the end with the needle strapped to it, and slowly retract the line..."

The key began to pass through the crack in the door..."

At Hattori's commentary, the key creeks through the crack in the door, climbs onto the desk with the pull of the fishing line, and is pulled into the pocket of the Twilight Police Department.

Hattori pulled hard one last time, and the line was pulled out of the tape in the keyring.

The Chamber of Secrets was cracked in this way.

Everyone, including Uncle Maori and Xiaolan, let out an exclamation.

"What about the murderer?" Uncle Maori asked.

"Don't worry!" Hattori Heiji replied, but what he was thinking about was Shinichi Kudo, who had not yet appeared.

But it had already come to this point, and it was impossible for him to wait for Kudo to come over and talk about it here, so he had to pause and continue: "It will take at least five or six minutes to kill the victim and set up the scene." And the time of the crime was thirty minutes between three-thirty and four-"

"Huh?" The child's voice suddenly interrupted Hattori's reasoning, "Isn't that right? ”
