Chapter 28: It's Me and Not Me (4)
"No, it should be a little past four," Kaedehara stood beside Xiaolan and looked at Hattori Heiji, "because..."
“… Then I heard and heard the uncle's cry of pain. ”
There was silence for a moment.
"Sora!" Mao Lilan hurriedly pulled down Feng Yuan, "Don't talk nonsense, don't disturb the adults to handle the case." ”
"Stinky little imp!" Uncle Maori was dissatisfied, and couldn't help but clench his fists, isn't this kid usually very well-behaved? Wait—this can't be Conan's imp pretending, right?
Uncle Maori looked at Kaedehara suspiciously.
The same goes for Xiaolan.
To say that the biggest difference between Conan and Kaedehara in terms of appearance is naturally one who wears glasses and the other who does not wear glasses. But all you have to do is take it off...
However, the clothes they wore today were different, and the kid didn't seem to have a cold...
It's supposed to be Sora, right?
The Maori father and daughter hesitated a little, and the Dusk Police Department said to Maori dissatisfied, "Hey! Gross profit! Take care of the little ones—"
"But, I really heard that," Kaedehara looked at Heiji Hattori earnestly, "just when we first walked into this room..."
"To be exact, when this aunt went to push that uncle." Kaedehara continued. Since he wasn't sure what to call someone of this age, he also pointed to Mrs. Tsujimura on the side.
Mrs. Tsujimura's face changed.
Heiji Hattori's face also changed.
"Maori!" The Twilight Police Department shouted again in dissatisfaction.
"Sora, don't make a fuss—"
Xiaolan tried to pull Kaedehara back again.
But Heiji Hattori suddenly spoke.
"Wait a minute!" Hattori Heiji walked up to Kaedehara and squatted down with a serious expression, "Hey, little ghost, are you sure you heard that?" ”
"Of course, my hearing is better than the average person! That's why I heard it! Hidden under the sound of the opera," Kaedehara lowered his eyes and ended his gaze with Hattori Heiji, "... The uncle's screams. ”
The sound of opera?
The moment it was broken here made Hattori Heiji couldn't help but muttered in his heart.
Hattori Heiji knows that some people's ears are better than ordinary people. So even though he didn't hear it, it doesn't mean that the kid was lying. And if what he says is true...
Wait, opera?
Ignoring Uncle Maori and the Twilight Police Department's call to him, Hattori Heiji rushed straight to the bookshelf next to him, on which there were a large number of CDs of classical music.
The conversation in the study gradually began.
Xiaolan also looked confused.
"Ahem." The Twilight Police Department walked over a little embarrassed, he had just indirectly murdered the kid. However, with Hattori's performance in front, he can't seem to simply think that this kid is making trouble.
"Sora," cheekily used Xiaolan's name, and the Twilight Police Department tried to make himself look kinder, "Did you really hear that?" ”
Kaedehara nodded, his gaze falling on the pocket of the Twilight Police Department, as if curious about what was stuffed inside.
The Twilight Police Department then remembered that the key was still in his pocket. This is also a piece of evidence, so he quickly reached out and tried to take out the key-
Smack.
The key fell on the floor.
The twilight officer struggled to bend down to reach for the key.
Then I was taken aback by Heiji Hattori, who didn't know when he ran back.
"Suit, Hattori brother!"
"No, that's not right!" Hattori Heiji bent down and stared at the key on the ground, "It shouldn't be like this!" Wait, what if..."
"Hattori?" Xiaolan shouted worriedly.
Hattori didn't pay attention to it, turned around and ran out of the study.
“……”
The sound in the study was even louder.
Originally, they were fascinated by the reasoning, but they were interrupted by a child with inexplicable words. Forget it, the host still looked like he was lost and ran away directly.
The Twilight Police Department hurriedly put aside the matter of collecting evidence from Kaedehara first, and turned to appease the Tsujimura family, and kept a little eye on Mrs. Tsujimura.
Uncle Maori looked dazed and didn't know what was going on.
Xiaolan was a little stunned, Hattori had just run out, and she couldn't help but hallucinate Shinichi.
Is it because I haven't seen Shinichi for too long?
"Sister Xiaolan," Kaedehara's voice pulled Xiaolan's soul back, "Your phone is ringing." ”
"Huh? Oh..."Mao Lilan, who came back to his senses, answered, took out his phone from his pocket, and glanced at it.
Then there was a look of surprise on his face.
Hattori Heiji told her that Shinichi might come over too, so she came along, but I didn't expect Shinichi to really call. Don't...
"Shinichi!"
"It's me, Lan."
Kudo Shinichi's voice sounded a little hoarse and panting, but Xiaolan, who knew that Shinichi had a cold, didn't think much about it.
"Why did you call at this time," Mao Lilan said as he walked out the door. The corners of her mouth curled slightly, obviously very happy, but there was impatience in her words, "Could it be that I heard Conan say that there was a case again-"
"Listen to me first, Xiaolan," Xiaolan subconsciously stopped, "Fengyuan—that kid from Doyle, is it by your side now?" ”
"Huh?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, looked back at Feng Yuan, and found that Feng Yuan was also looking at this side, "Here!" What's wrong? ”
"Whew..."
There was an exhalation on the other side of the phone, as if relieved.
"Shinichi? What's wrong? ”
"It's okay, Lan. By the way, I'm right near you right now, would you like to come out and meet you? ”
"Really? Don't lie to me! Where are you? ”
Maoliran said as he trotted towards the door.
Kaedehara watched Xiaolan run away.
It seems that Conan has turned back into Kudo Shinichi.
Temporary.
And nothing has changed in itself.
That's what he expected, too.
This means that although he crossed over to become Kudo Shinichi, although the original Kudo Shinichi is still there, it does not lead to an unscientific connection between him and Kudo Shinichi.
He is still an independent individual.
However, this was also in line with his guess, so he only calmed down a little.
Soon he put this down.
Heiji Hattori also rushed back quickly, with a lot of coiled fishing line in his hand.
There was a slight confusion and chagrin on his face, but the moment he walked into the study, it was gone.
Only self-confidence remains.
"Everyone!" Hattori Heiji said loudly, and the room fell silent, "I just made a mistake in my reasoning, but it's been solved!" Now, let me continue to explain the case! ”
Heiji Hattori continued to reason.
Just like Kaedehara said before, the murderer is none other than Mrs. Tsujimura. She led everyone into the study, pretending to wake up Tsujimura, and took the opportunity to stab him to death with a poisonous needle.
The sound was designed to suppress the screams that the deceased might make, and the stack of books on the table was also designed to prevent others from seeing the deceased's painful expression.
And the so-called secret room is just a trick used to mislead reasoning and blame others.
Behind the case, there is a story of revenge.
The deceased framed Mrs. Tsujimura's ex-husband twenty years ago, resulting in his unjust death in prison, and married Mrs. Tsujimura, who was unaware of this.
Sachiko Katsuki, the girlfriend of the son of the Tsujimura family, happens to be the daughter of Mrs. Tsujimura and her ex-husband, which caused strong opposition from Tsujimura Xun, so that Mrs. Tsujimura realized the truth and decided to avenge her ex-husband.
Kaedehara didn't want to take care of it.
So he didn't stop Mrs. Tsujimura.
He had no interest in saving a character like the diplomat Isao Tsujimura — and wouldn't do it without being able to explain how he could have known the full story.
Even to solve the case, Kaedehara didn't bother to participate.
But he promised Conan after all.
Not long after the reasoning ended, Xiaolan came back with Conan, who had fallen asleep, looking a little lost.
Conan was asleep, but his breathing was steady, and Mori and his party prepared to go home.
Hattori Heiji took advantage of the time when everyone got on the bus, and deliberately pulled Kaedehara behind, saying that he would wait for the next taxi.
"Hey! You're Kudo, aren't you? ”
