On this day, in the Maori Detective Agency, Shira Zhenjun stood and chatted with Xiaolan, asking from time to time about Kudo Shinichi's news.

She had already discussed it with her mother.

Although two elementary school students who are both suspected of being Kudo Shinichi appeared, making them doubt their previous judgments, Sera Masumi also knew that these two children were not ordinary, so he still kept his attention.

And although he felt that Shiliang was paying too much attention to Shinichi, the other party was a detective after all, and there was another detective who was very concerned about Shinichi like this, so Xiaolan still answered one by one.

But this time Sera Masamu's question is a bit weird...

"Does Shinichi have any brothers?"

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, "No." Shinichi and I grew up together... Why do you suddenly ask this? ”

Conan couldn't help but look at Shiliang Zhenchun and became vigilant.

"Because you said he and his parents were not at home, but the last time I happened to pass by his house, I found that there were people living in his house..."

"Oh, that must be Mr. Okiya Pleiades..."Xiao Lan showed a sudden look, "Because Mr. Pleiades has no place to live for the time being, Shinichi agreed to let him live in his own house..."

Speaking of which, the last time I went to clean up in a new house, I thought I had entered a thief, and at that time I kicked Mr. Pleiades, and the other party seemed to be kicked, but I didn't feel like I kicked him at all...

"That's right..."

Seliang Zhenchun nodded, although she had already known about it from a primary school student, "That's right, that's right! Is there a detective as powerful as Kudo? I really want to compete with him! ”

"Ahem." Uncle Maori coughed fakely, trying to raise his presence.

"Speaking of detectives who are similar to Shinichi," Xiaolan didn't seem to hear her father's voice, "There is one in Kansai!" He also looks a lot like Shinichi, but the skin... Well... It's a little dark..."

Seliang Zhenchun's eyes lit up, "Really? Who is he? ”

Hey, hey...

Conan looked at Sera from the sidelines, didn't this guy think that he or Kaedehara had become smaller than Hattori...

"It's Hattori," said Ran, "Ah, by the way, he just called, just before you came, and said he would be here soon!" ”

I'll be coming soon...

It doesn't seem to be this ...

Shiliang Zhenchun listened to Xiaolan's brief introduction, peeked at Conan, who was selling cuteness on the side, and replied casually, "Oh... The son of the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters? And is he still a high school student detective? That's amazing! ”

"Hmmm! His name is Heiji Hattori! Actually, it's the Hattori in [Kansai's Hattori, Kanto's Kudo] ... The two of them are often compared to each other! ”

"That's Kudo's competitor, right?"

"But the duel between the two of them is when they first met, and they have often worked together to solve some incidents recently!"

"Yes, two people together can do it!"

Uncle Maori said in a deep voice, and then couldn't help but stick out his tongue and laugh, "It's not comparable to me, Japan's premier detective, Maori Kogoro!" ”

"And then?" Shiliang Zhenchun didn't seem to hear Uncle Maori's interruption at all, "What is he doing here?" ”

"Well, he said he'll wait until he comes."

"I guess I've brought some trouble again." Uncle Maori said, "A detective game played by two imps from Kanto and Kansai or something. ”

"Kanto and Kansai? So who is the real detective among the two detectives in Kanto and Kansai? ”

"I—I think it's about the same—" Xiaolan tried to bring water.

"No, if you want to say it, it's still Kanto..."Conan made a serious look of thought.

Outside the door, Kaedehara, who watched Hattori Heiji eavesdropping on the conversation inside, couldn't help but sigh.

Today, Yukiko Kudo happened to come back to help Okiya check the cross-dressing, and then went on to teach Ai Graybara the cross-dressing technique at the doctor's house - which meant that he could have eaten the meal that his mother and Ashbara cooked together.

It's a pity, in order not to disturb the cross-dressing teaching in the basement, Kaedehara still chose to give in, and rushed to the office after answering Hattori's phone call, and just happened to meet him downstairs.

And at this moment, Hattori Heiji, who was listening to the conversation inside, obviously couldn't stand still. He pushed open the door and said loudly to Conan, who was standing near the doorway:

"Kansai! Of course, it's me, a high school detective in Kansai - Hattori Heiji is much stronger! Idiot! ”

As he spoke, he looked back at Kaedehara, "Right?" ”

“……”

Kaedehara didn't reply to him, but greeted everyone in the house.

"Sora!" Xiaolan replied, "And Hattori!" ”

"Listen, listen, and hear you talking..."

Although he was not accommodated, Hattori Heiji didn't care, and said another word to Conan and looked around, "Huh? Why not there? Where is she? The detective who suddenly appeared recently.,Everywhere to find out about Kudo.。 ”

"Isn't it right here?" Xiaolan pushed Sera's back and pushed her in front of Hattori Heiji, "Sera is so pure! ”

"I didn't look around." Sera Zhenchun argued.

"You're a woman?!" Hattori Heiji stared at Sera's boobs in surprise, "Then your boobs are too small, aren't they?" ”

"It's going to grow in the future! My mom is also skinny, but she has big breasts, so I'm not worried at all! Right, Xiaolan! ”

"Uh-huh..." Xiaolan responded a little embarrassedly, and then changed the subject, "By the way, what about Heye?" I heard you'd be coming along! ”

"Ah, she's going somewhere first. Last time, after Kazuye's mother received the instant curry given to her, she liked it very much. Because that curry was only available at a family restaurant in Tokyo, after hearing that Kazuha was coming to Tokyo, her mother asked her to help buy some to take home. On the way here, I happened to see the family restaurant. ”

"Then she'll be over in a moment, right?"

"And then? What are you here for? Conan asked, "Brother Heiji..."

"Ahh Actually..."Heiji Hattori was saying when he heard his cell phone ringing, "Ah, I'm sorry..."

He took out his phone and glanced at it, "It's Heye..."

Then he answered the phone, "What's wrong with Ye?" Is the curry ready? ”

"Help... Help, Pingji! ”

Because it was very close, Kaedehara heard the voice on the phone and glanced at it.

"Ah, didn't you go to the family restaurant?" Heiji Hattori was a little surprised.

"I went to the family restaurant, but it was said that someone died in the toilet, which caused a lot of commotion!"

"Yes, has anyone died?"

"Huh?" Everyone who heard Hattori's words looked at him in surprise.

"Did he kill him?" Heiji Hattori then asked.

"I don't know yet." On the other side of the phone, he said, "There is a strange tall foreign man who won't let us leave this shop..."

"I see! Go right away, you wait for me! ”

Hattori hung up the phone after speaking, and then briefly explained to everyone in the office, "That's it, I'll go over first." ”

"Then let's do it," suggested Shira Masumi, "through this incident, Kanto and Kansai... How about a winner? ”

"Huh?"

"Of course Hattori will go by himself, Kudo, as long as Conan explains the situation to him over the phone, then he can compete, right?"

"Hmm..."

"Of course, if you're so good with Kudo's Kansai that you don't want to be separated... I won't force you. ”

It's another reasoning duel...

However, if you divide it into Kanto and Kansai...

Kaedehara glanced at Heiji Hattori and noticed that he was scratching his cheek tangledly.

"No, that's not good," Hattori said, and Conan looked at him in surprise, as if he were meeting Hattori for the first time.

"Huh?"

"It's just... That's not fair..."

Heiji Hattori was a little entangled.

Although I'm not under Kudo, there are two Kudo here...

It's still a little hard to do it yourself...

"Oh, do you think it's unfair to Kudo?" Seliang Zhenchun suddenly said, "Indeed, if you are not at the scene, you may not be able to pay attention to clues that can only be noticed when you are present..."

She then proposed, "Are you worried that Conan won't be able to tell Kudo the clues?" In that case, I can also help provide clues to Kudo..."

"I can tell!" Conan argued.

"Wait a minute!"

Hattori Heiji pulled Kaedehara out the door after saying a word, and whispered to him, "Hey, Kudo, you won't be allowed to exchange opinions with that Kudo later!" Of course, if something is important, you can still say it. ”

"Got it..."

"Good!" Hattori Heiji turned his head to look at the thoughtful Shira Masumi and the speechless Conan, "I agree!" This is indeed the best opportunity, me and Kudo, who is the real detective, let's fight it out! ”

……

By the time the group arrived at the family restaurant, the police had already arrived and cordoned off the scene.

However, after brushing Uncle Maori's face, they still came in smoothly. Kazuha was waiting for them at the door, and as soon as he saw them, he told them about the situation.

"That's what happened..."

After listening to the narration, Xiaolan summed it up, "When He Ye was buying curry at the cash register, a foreign man suddenly came out of that toilet and said that someone died, should you call the police immediately?" ”

"Hmm!" Kazuha nodded, "Seal off the toilets, just in case you can't let any guests out of the store." He said it loud there! ”

"Did the foreign man speak English?" Hattori asked.

"It's Japanese. It was the man who first discovered the dead! ”

"Was a foreigner who was fluent in Japanese the first person to discover the deceased?" Uncle Maori pondered, "That guy is a little suspicious!" ”

Kaedehara turned his head to look at the toilet, and Officer Twilight and Officer Takagi heard the movement and walked out of the toilet and walked towards them.

He could tell that the mood of the Twilight Police Department did not seem to be good.

"But for us," the Twilight Police Department looked at Mori Kogoro with an unkind face, "and the few of you who casually walk into the scene every time are more suspicious. ”

"Me, Twilight Police Department!"

Uncle Maori was a little embarrassed, "Well, as soon as I came to the scene recently, people would greet me and say, 'I've been called by the police again,' and let me in." ”

"Hehe..."

"And what is the cause of death?" Heiji Hattori asked.

"Poison." Officer Takagi replied, "A sugar ball seeped into the cyanide-type poison was found in the corpse's mouth, and the same sugar ball was found in the pocket. ”

"That means it could be suicide."

"yes, that's what the foreigner who first found the body said."

"Who is that foreigner?" Shiliang Zhenchun was a little curious, "It seems that you are very used to the scene of the crime, do you know each other?" ”

"I guess it's someone who has something to do with the police..."

"Could it be that foreigner..."

"Yes," a tall foreign man also came out of the toilet, "because of work, subconsciously..."

"Ka, Agent Carmel!"

In Xiaolan's surprise, Kaedehara looked at it a few times and confirmed that Agent Carmel should have come alone.

This was the FBI agent in charge of driving the car in the previous operation to send Mizuno back to the organization, and after that, Kamel was involved in several more cases, so Xiaolan was also familiar with him.

Then, after an introduction, with the consent of the Twilight Police Department, the group followed them into the toilet that was the scene of the crime, and listened to Kamal explain the situation at that time.

In one of the cubicles of the toilet, the deceased was still sitting on the closed toilet lid with his head tilted to the side.

"You don't have to go to this kind of place to kill yourself..."Uncle Maori couldn't help but complain as he looked at the environment of the toilet.

"And then? Do you know the identity of this uncle? ”

"Not yet, he didn't find anything on him that would identify him." Officer Takagi replied.

"The phone that could be a clue was also blistered in the toilet."

"Agent Carmel, where are you?" Conan asked.

"I'm going to the toilet in this room two separate rooms."

"And what do you say is the basis for suicide?" Sera asked.

"I heard the voice – even if I was a partner I grew up with, I couldn't say yes. Abe was poisoned by me, so I must be responsible. ”

Kamel repeated what he had heard, "As soon as I said that, I heard screams. I hurriedly ran out of the private room and saw that it was already like this. ”

"And then you quickly run out of the bathroom, cordon off the scene, and keep the customers in the store, right?"

"yes. Judging from the content of the conversation just now, the deceased was talking to someone here, because the deceased poisoned a person named Abe, and the incident was about to be discovered by the police, so there is also a possibility that someone killed him.

However, I remembered that the man had come to eat alone, and I didn't hear the voice of the other person talking to him, probably talking over the phone. Although the person on the other end of the line tried to stop him from committing suicide, he did not listen, and instead ended his life with remorse for his murderous act. ”

"Is that voice really his?" Kaedehara asked.

"yes, that's right." Kamel nodded, "This man's position is right across from me, and he's ordering loud. ”

Uncle Maori thought for a moment and came to the conclusion, "Then it seems that it must be suicide." ”

"Yes, yes," Officer Takagi agreed, "but it seems that the poisoning of the man named Abe did not happen in Tokyo, and investigation is underway in other prefectures to see if there was such an incident." ”

"The man named Abe should have a very close relationship with the deceased, because he has a 'small' in front of his name."

"Then did he call that man Little Abe?" It was Conan who was asking.

"yes."

"Anything else you've noticed?" The Twilight Police Department asked, "Maybe you don't know, dialects or something..."

"That's what I said," Carmel muttered, pointing at Heiji Hattori, "he speaks with the same accent as this boy!" ”

"Huh? I? Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, "That's Kansai dialect?" ”

"I don't know if it's Kansai, but there are strange interjections at the end of the sentence."

"In that case," said Sera Masumi, "what kind of poisoning incident... Maybe it happened in Kansai. ”

Hearing this, the Twilight Police Department hurriedly motioned for Takagi to investigate, and Shira Masumi leaned against the wall to think about things, noticing that Kamal looked back at himself from time to time.

"Well, what? Did I get something on my face? ”

"Ah, no..."

"If you're wondering whether I'm a man or a woman, the answer is a girl! Although the breasts are not well developed. ”

“……”

Kamel turned around and walked away, then sent the photo he had just quietly taken to his boss, James.

He always felt as if he had seen this tomboy somewhere.

……

Heiji Hattori leaned against the wall and looked at the two Kudo opposites.

The Kudo in the office even looked like he was doing nothing, as if he was waiting for something, and at a glance he knew that he hadn't made much progress.

Kudo, who was a little troublesome next to him, kept his head down, holding his phone, as if checking something.

I guess I've already thought of something...

It shouldn't be...

"I said," Hattori Heiji couldn't help but speak, "what do you think about this incident?" ”

"Still completely unthinkable," Conan replied, "I'll probably see some progress when we find out if there is such a case in Kansai." ”

"Really?"

Heiji Hattori grinned.

Conan had a bad premonition, "Hey, are you supposed to be..."

"Don't worry!" Hattori Heiji replied with a smile, then looked at Kaedehara, "Hey, what about you?" ”

"That uncle didn't commit suicide, he killed him." Kaedehara didn't raise his head, "You must want to say that, right?" ”

Hattori and Conan were stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Hey, you're a foul..."

The hateful Kudo, he must have reacted when he saw himself laughing at another Kudo just now, and said it on purpose...

"How can this be considered a foul... Reading words and colors is the basic quality of a detective... I thought of it when I saw you talking to Kamal. ”

Kaedehara said, "When he said that uncle's tone was the same as yours, you were stunned for a moment, and then you showed a sudden expression... So I thought, this case must have something to do with Kansai..."

"......" Hattori's face is getting darker and darker.

"Kansai dialect...," Conan pondered.

"I'm not familiar with Kansai dialect, so I looked up a few words in that sentence on the Internet... It's almost figured out..."

"You guy! And said it wasn't a foul! Damn, using my expression to reason..."

"The first thing that struck me strange was the little Abe..."

Kaede pretended not to hear Hattori's complaints, and showed his mobile phone screen to Hattori Heiji, "But when I looked up this word, I saw some Kansai people's oral fetishes that someone summed up..."

"Ahh Conan also thought of something, and showed a sudden expression.

"Just re-understand that sentence in the way the Kansai people speak, and you can figure it out..."

Kaedehara took back his phone and looked at Hattori Heiji, "Originally, I was going to ask Sister Ye to talk about it again, but since Hattori you mentioned it, you still don't bother her, right?" ”
