Hattori stared at Kaedehara for a moment before raising his head and repeating the sentence in a very unhappy tone.

"Even if it's a partner who grew up together, I can't say yes to this kind of request! Abe was poisoned by himself! So be responsible! ”

"Ahh

"That's right, that's it!"

Hattori's voice was a little louder just now, and Kamal, who was communicating with the Twilight Police Department not far away, immediately looked over when he heard it, "It's almost exactly the same as what I heard!" ”

After saying that, he looked back at the Twilight Police Department and the others.

"Right? Like I said, the deceased committed suicide after confessing that he was the culprit in the poisoning incident, and felt that he should be responsible for that incident, right? ”

"Ah, no..."

"That one was supposed to be..."

Officer Takagi and the Mudu Police Department hesitated for a moment, and Shira Masumi on the side opened his mouth to explain first: "In Kansai dialect, 'self' in this context actually means 'you'. ”

"Huh? Why? Kamel was a little puzzled, "Shouldn't you be me in Japanese, how can you become you?" ”

For example, the "we" in 'this is our responsibility' of course refers to ourselves, but when we use the same words in a quarrel, we are talking about the other person. Japanese can be a bit of a hassle! ”

"We Japanese who are accustomed to hearing the Kansai dialect on TV know," the Twilight Police Department took over the words of Sera Masamu, "but for those of you who are serious about studying Japanese in the United States, you may not know." ”

"In other words, replace 'yourself' with 'you'," Uncle Maori summed it up, "Well...'Abe was poisoned by you!'" So you must be responsible! That's what it means, right? ”

"Then, the deceased is not confessing his crime, but blaming the other party for his criminal behavior and trying to persuade the other party to turn himself in?"

"Moreover, the word 'down' that poisoned Abe," Hattori Heiji continued, "it should be a 'Tu' word, did you hear it wrong?" ”

"Ah, is it..."

Kamel looked even more confused, "But isn't it strange to put poison on people?" That's why I think it's a 'down' word..."

"That has to be when Abe is a person. ABE IS ACTUALLY AN AME BALL! The man who died in the toilet also had a poisonous sugar ball in his mouth. ”

In this way, the latter sentence becomes - the sugar ball is the poison you smeared, so you must be responsible.

"But... Why does the name of the candy ball sound like a name? ”

"Oh, that's why it's a hassle to speak Japanese!"

"That's how the people of Kansai are..."

Kaedehara said, looking at Xiaolan and Kazuha, who were studying the menu near the cash register, "Sister Ye and Ye just said the same thing, calling the sugar ball sugar candy - I happened to hear it." ”

"yes... The Kansai people used to add a salutation after the sugar ball..."

Conan casually chimed in, and couldn't help but glance at Xiaolan as well. Although this store is not very big, I didn't hear the conversation with Ye and Xiaolan clearly...

There was a brief silence.

The Twilight Police Department and the others began to re-understand the meaning of the deceased's words in their minds.

After a short moment, Sera broke the silence.

"In that case, does that mean that the criminal who made the deceased eat the poisoned sugar ball also came to the toilet?"

"yes, but that FBI uncle didn't hear the criminal's voice... It is possible that the criminal and the deceased who persuaded him to turn himself in made an appointment to meet at the family restaurant, but he did not show up, but called the deceased to the toilet and poisoned him. ”

Heiji Hattori continued, "Trick the deceased into going to the toilet on the phone, and then just kill him, there is no need to speak." After that, I threw my phone down the toilet and the call log was gone. ”

But to the criminal's surprise, it happened that there was an FBI in this toilet and left everyone in the store at the first time. Other words... The murderer is still in this shop! ”

In addition, the deceased's sentence also said that the other party was a partner who had played together since childhood, and the crime scene was in the men's toilet, so the Twilight Police Department quickly narrowed down the range of suspects to men between the ages of 30 and 40.

Officer Takagi led a search of the people in the store, and soon screened out several suspects.

"Three people? Are there three suspects? Heiji Hattori asked Officer Takagi.

Choose one of the three classics...

Kaedehara thought to himself when he heard Officer Takagi reply, "Hmm... There are a total of seven eligible male guests... Four of them came with their companions, and when Mr. Carmel came out of the toilet shouting that someone was dead, some of them were ordering, some were cleaning up their children's spilled dishes, and some were talking to the waiter..."

As he spoke, Officer Takagi looked to the side, "The only ones who didn't have an alibi were the three people who came to the restaurant alone and sat in the smoking area to eat." ”

was screened out individually, and the three people also looked towards Kaedehara and them from time to time.

"Then let me hear the confessions of these people!" Heiji Hattori suggested.

"What a stupid thing! Why make you a high school student..."

"Maybe the criminal is from Kansai, right? Let me, who is also from Kansai, come and ask, maybe it will be easy to find the clues. ”

"This—This is..."

After all, it's Hattori's brother.,Although it's more dependent on Maori brother now.,Twilight Police Department is still as good as a stream.,This agreed to be questioned by Hattori Heiji.。

Uncle Maori went to work with Ran and Kazuha to study the restaurant's menu.

Kaedehara and Conan followed Hattori Heiji and others.

The first person to be questioned was a middle-aged man with full-rim glasses who looked nervous.

"I—My name is Suberoli, and I live in an apartment in Rice Flower Town."

"And then? Where is your hometown? ”

"I—I'm a native of Tokyo..."

Mr. Sube replied, looking at the Twilight Police Department, "What's going on!" Mr. Officer? Who is this teenager? ”

"Please don't mind, just answer his questions."

"You've been sweating since you started," Hattori Heiji asked, with his hands in his pockets, "Did you hide something?" ”

"Ah, no, this is..."

Mr. Sube looked back at the plate in front of him, "Because I ate this curry, it was much spicier than I thought." ”

Kaedehara leaned over to take a look, and the food on the plate was almost clean, with only a few scraps left, but he could tell that the curry was indeed spicy.

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji was puzzled, "It's been about an hour since the incident, so I guess I've already finished eating, right?" ”

"I—I just ate it. I won't let us out of here, I'm hungry. I just ordered. ”

Hattori Heiji glanced back at the two waiters who were standing not far away, "One of them was killed, and they still accept orders?" ”

The waitress smiled back with an embarrassed but polite smile.

Mr. Sube didn't seem to have a problem, and the group walked over to the next suspect, a somewhat unkempt-looking man smoking a cigarette.

"My name is Gan Jiheng, and my friends call me Forrest Gump. I now live in an apartment in Rice Flower Town. And I'm also a native of Tokyo, so are you satisfied? Osaka's little brother. ”

He obviously heard Hattori's question just now, and he preemptively introduced it without waiting for Hattori Heiji to speak.

"You seem to be sweating too, are you afraid?" Heiji Hattori asked.

"Who, who's afraid? Don't talk nonsense! ”

"Huh?" This guy reacted quite violently...

Mr. Ganji then explained, "It's just because the bowl of ramen I just ate is really spicy!" ”

"Hey, you guy," Heiji Hattori looked at Mr. Ganji with some unpleasantness, "the tone of your voice..."

"Is there something wrong? Isn't it a very ordinary Tokyo accent? ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that it sounds very unpleasant..."

"Now, this uncle," Kaedehara propped up on the table and glanced at the ramen bowl on the table, most of the soup still remained, "Is this ramen really spicy?" I can't see it at all. ”

Although the noodles were clean, the remaining soup in the bowl did not feel spicy at all.

Conan was also stunned and looked at the ramen bowl as well.

The other himself must have a reason for saying this...

"Of course it's spicy, little ghost!" Mr. Gan replied impatiently, "I almost can't eat..."

"But... It doesn't look spicy at all..."

"Hey, you guy, it's not like that, you can see if it's spicy or not...", but Kudo's guy must have a reason for saying this, and Hattori Heiji was a little more vigilant.

"Hmm... It doesn't look spicy..."Officer Takagi also expressed his opinion.

This kind of dispute is easy to resolve, and Kaedehara directly looked back at the waiter not far away, "Now, big sister, what kind of ramen is this uncle eating?" Is it really spicy? ”

"Ahh I remember the gentleman ordered the salty ramen..."

"This one is not spicy, but there is more salt..."

"Huh?"

Whether they reacted or not, the faces of everyone on the field changed.

Shiliang Zhenchun glanced thoughtfully at Kaedehara who looked curious on the side.

Although I don't know if the duel between Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji is what I thought, the duel between Kanto and Kansai seems to have a result...

Gan Jiheng also sensed that something was wrong, because after listening to the waiter's words just now, those police officers suddenly became a lot more serious about their eyes.

But he didn't know what was wrong, so he had to continue to try to justify, "Hey, how difficult it is to put salt, isn't it spicy..."

Is there anything wrong with this?

"That's right," Heiji Hattori also thought it was a little strange, "If you put too much salt, it will be very spicy..."

"No, this should be..."

"It's salty," said Conan, "right?" ”

"Yes," Kaedehara nodded, looking at Mr. Gansu, "If you're really from Tokyo, uncle, you should say salty, right?" ”

"Huh?"

"In Tokyo, only dishes with chili peppers are called spicy, but dishes with too much salt and spicy throat are salty!"

"So, this uncle who thinks the salt-flavored ramen is very spicy, you are from Kansai like Brother Hattori, right?"

Conan and Kaedehara said one by one.

This is something that almost everyone in Tokyo has already reacted to, so it is nothing special for children to say it.

And Kaedehara felt that after all, there were two Kudo present, so there was no need to pretend to be ordinary children.

The Kansai people on the field had apparently just reacted. Heiji Hattori showed a shocked expression and looked back and forth between Kaedehara and Conan several times, "What? Is it true? ”

"That's right," Officer Takagi nodded.

"W-It's just that I'm wrong!" Mr. Gansu hurriedly shook the pot, "Actually, I wanted to say salty, but I was brought over by this little brother in Osaka!" ”

"This way of speaking with SA at the end of a word..."

"Isn't this the standard Tokyo accent!"

"People in Tokyo don't speak their Tokyo accent!" Conan said, "This kind of thing that only Westerners can say, right?" ”

"Huh?"

"Don't say it, do you?" Conan looked back at the Twilight Police Department and the others.

"Yes, yes..."

"If that's what to say," Officer Takagi mused, "it's the first time I've ever known that Tokyo dialect has a word ending with SA. ”

"The way of speaking with the end of the word plus SA is very common in Kanto..."Kaedehara said, "Uncle, you heard Hattori's question, that's why you want to hide that you are from Kansai, right?" ”

"So, so what? I just wanted to tease you-"

"It's also a little weird!" Kaedehara continued, "Uncle, you hold a cigarette with your left hand, but you are obviously used to using your right hand. The chopsticks you use to eat ramen are also placed on the right side. ”

"yes!" Hattori Heiji suddenly.

"The reason for this is simple, it's being scared, right? If you use the hand that has held the candy ball to get the cigarette..."

Listening to Kaedehara's words, the beads of sweat on Mr. Gansu's head became more obvious. This also made the Twilight Police Department realize that there was something really wrong with this person, so they moved closer to prevent him from making unnecessary movements.

"But if your hands are poisonous, wouldn't it be nice to wash them off in the toilet with water?" Kamel asked.

"Because he noticed someone in the toilet," Shira looked at Kamal with his arms crossed, "like the sound of flushing..."

"Ah, yes," Kamel snapped, "I came out of the private room to see what was going on when I heard the man's moans..."

"I see, the sound of flushing also muffles the footsteps of criminals leaving the toilet..."

"Hey! You guys, don't talk like I'm a prisoner! Mr. Gan Ji interrupted, "Where's the evidence! If you say the police, you have to use the evidence to speak! ”

"Now, big sister," Kaedehara looked back at the waiter not far away again, "Did this uncle ask for a towel?" ”

"Ahh Soon after the ramen was served, he asked for a towel..."

Because there weren't many people who ordered food after someone died, and it didn't take long, the waiter remembered it well.

But there wasn't that towel on the table...

"If I had poison on my hands, I wouldn't even be able to hold chopsticks... So I think you've already dealt with the poison on your hands, but you're not sure if you've cleaned it up..."

"Uncle, you ordered ramen just for towels, right? Just say that if you spill the soup, you can get it right away. ”

Kaedehara and Conan spoke one by one.

"And since that towel isn't on the table..."

Hattori Heiji glanced at Mr. Gansu, who was in a cold sweat, "That's in the pocket of your clothes..."

"Mr. Gansu, please cooperate with us to check!" Officer Takagi got closer.

Gan Jiheng hung his head in a dejected manner.

He then began to confess like the previous prisoners, and was then taken away by Officer Takagi.

"But, it's really amazing..."Shiliang Zhenchun looked at Kaedehara with his arms crossed, "It's not like an ordinary child at all..."

"Conan is very smart!" Kaede Hara pulled Conan to his side without changing his face, "He quietly reminded me!" ”

"Oh... Is it? ”

Although he was depressed about Kaedehara's perfunctory behavior, after all, it was helpful to disguise his identity, Conan still looked up and said in embarrassment: "It's all, I learned it from Uncle Kogoro!" ”

Uncle Maori, who had finished studying the menu, noticed the movement here and walked over, just in time to hear this sentence.

"That's right!"

Uncle Maori touched Conan's head with satisfaction, "As long as you follow my famous detective Kogoro Maori, even children can solve some simple cases!" Hahaha! ”

Seeing Uncle Maori sticking out his tongue and laughing wildly, Kaedehara resisted the desire to complain, and then was pulled aside by Hattori Heiji.

"Hey! Kudo," Hattori Heiji whispered into Kaedehara, "I said, you didn't pretend at all today, is it really okay?" ”

He also glanced at Shiliang Zhenchun.

"It's okay... Not being disguised at such times is also a disguise..."

"yes... After all, what happened to you is too bizarre..."

Only one Kudo is more dangerous if he is suspected of his identity, and two people who are suspected together can muddy the waters.

And so the case ended.

Because the case seems to be very simple, relying on simple questioning, even the Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi noticed that something was wrong, and there was no need for Kudo Shinichi to come out at all, so the reasoning duel was over.

After that, Kaedehara followed Hattori Heiji and others to solve another murder incident, in fact, this is also the reason why Hattori Heiji and Kazuha came to Tokyo.

What followed were a few ordinary days.

It wasn't until Kaedehara learned from Conan that Uncle Mori was together and took in an apprentice named Toru Amuro.
