Famous Detective Conan: Eating and Waiting To Die - Chapter 25

Seeing that Conan, who was dressed neatly, was about to go out, Hitomi Mouri asked casually, “Conan, what are you going to do?”

“Shh~~” Conan hurriedly covered Hitomi’s mouth, “I’m going to call Xiaolan…”

“Uh……..”

“Ahh~” came a sneezing voice from the phone, “Really, I finally got a call and caught a cold. Listen carefully, come back quickly, Xinyi!” Xiaolan complained to Conan on the phone.

“I can’t help it, who told me that there are a lot of difficult cases around me…”

“Wait. Someone knocked on Shinichi’s door. Let’s talk about it next time.” Xiaolan hung up the phone.

“Really, I finally called him, but he was not gentle to me at all. If I knew I would not make this call,” Conan shouted, standing at the door of the phone booth, “I really don’t understand women. …”

As a result, everyone around them focused their attention on Conan. . . “Haha…” Conan laughed dryly, “Whoo~~ covered his face and ran away…”

“It’s useless for you to lie to me, Xiaolan, I know that Kudo Shinichi is in this place, hurry up and call him out. Where is Kudo Shinichi?” Conan, who came back from the outside, heard that someone in the room wanted Looking for myself, I opened the door and saw a man in his 20s.

“Ah~” Conan rubbed her nose, Xiaolan looked back, “Conan, why do you have a cold too… Really… don’t move around, I’ll wipe your nose, what are you doing with the new one or two? Damn, does Meteor catch a cold now?”

“Shinichi Kudo has a cold?” The dark man wearing a peaked cap asked back, “Since you don’t know where he is, how can you even know about the cold?”

“Phone…” Xiao Lan said to the man helplessly, “Xinyi’s nasal voice on the phone just now sounded very heavy, and he sometimes calls here.”

“Sure enough, people say you are Kudo Shinichi’s woman…” The guy said while pinching his chin.

When Xiao Lan heard him say that she was a woman from Shinichi, she immediately blushed and shouted, “Woman? Who said such a thing?”

“Of course your friend Suzuki Sonoko said that. She said that Kudo didn’t even go to school. You must be hiding him.”

“Well?” Hitomi Mouri, who was playing the game console, heard this unique Osaka accent, dark skin, and that peaked cap, “Is this fellow Hattori Heiji?”

With a helpless expression on her face, Xiao Lan cursed with anger, “This woman Sonoko…”

Conan pouted, “That 38…”

“What did Kudo say on the phone?” Hattori Heiji asked aggressively.

Without waiting for Xiaolan to open her mouth, Mao Litong walked to Xiaolan’s side, “Sister Xiaolan, this person may be a bad person. You’d better not talk nonsense about brother Xinyi, or maybe Xinyi brother will be in danger, not necessarily. Oh.”

“Yes. I don’t know you. Why should I tell you what Shinichi said to me?”

Hitomi Mouri pointed at Hattori Heiji, “We don’t know who you are. If you don’t reveal your identity, I’ll call the police and say that you have trespassed in the house.”

“Uh… I’m sorry… I haven’t introduced myself yet.” Hattori Heiji, who took off his hat, coughed twice, “My name is Hattori Heiji. Like Kudo Shinichi, I’m a high school detective.”

“It turned out to be a detective… Then what are you doing here? Ahem~” Conan sneezed again.

“Huh? Little brother, you have a cold. I have a good medicine here. I guarantee you will get better after taking it.” He took out a bottle wrapped in white paper from his black lacquer bag.

Mouri Kogoro, who was reading the newspaper, pinched his chin and said, “When you say that, I remembered that there was a very powerful detective in Kansai, who seemed to be called Hattori Heiji.”

“Well, Kudo Shinichi and I, everyone often compares us…” Having said that, Hattori Heiji got a small glass of liquid and handed it to Conan. . . . “But I didn’t expect that, I haven’t heard any news from Kudo recently, and I haven’t seen him show up on the news… Come on, little brother…” Hattori handed the cup of medicine to Conan, “I catch a cold after drinking it. Enough!”

“Thank you~” Conan picked up the cup of medicine and drank it, “It’s so spicy~~” Conan, who stuck out his tongue, muttered.

“Hi~hi~” Mao Litong twitched his nose a few times, “This seems to be liquor… OHMYGOD~~Old Baigan!” Mao Litong’s mouth curled slightly, “It seems that Conan’s first big trip is coming soon. …”

“Squeak~~~”

A woman came in from the outside with a displeased face written on her face, “How long do you want me to ring the doorbell outside? Your detective agency is quite good at receiving guests. Could you please take a moment to listen to me? “…” Maori Kogoro, who saw the business coming, hurriedly agreed. . . . . .

Taking the information from the woman, Kogoro Mouri looked at it, “You want to investigate the conduct of your son’s girlfriend?” The woman nodded. .

“But the girl in the profile is a person with excellent academic performance. Why are you dissatisfied with her?”

“No…just…” The woman hesitated and didn’t say anything. Hattori Heiji, who was leaning on Maori Kogoro’s chair, said, “It’s just because she’s so perfect that she doesn’t look pleasing to the eye. Humans are inherently suspicious and jealous animals…”

The woman snorted and asked with a dissatisfied face, “Who is that guy?”

Maori scratched his head in embarrassment, “That’s my daughter’s friend.”

Then the woman stood up, “All in all, the details will be discussed with my husband after you arrive at my house.”

“Then… Am I going to go now? Then, why don’t you and your wife come together?”

“I told you just now that my husband is a diplomat. If someone knew that he was in such a place…”

“There will be scandals,” Hattori Heiji took over and said, “Then… I’ll go with you too.”

“Why? Mao?” Ri Kogoro asked.

“Instead of letting you go alone, uncle, it’s better to let people think that we are a father and son to visit, and it will be less suspicious.”

The woman nodded, “That’s right, then I’ll leave it to you…”

“Xiao Ran. I think you should come too,” Hattori said.

“Why should I go?”

“The more people there are, the less likely they will suspect that the detective is bringing a bunch of children to work.”

Looking at Conan who was running around, Xiao Lan said to Hattori Heiji with a slight reproach, “What did you drink for Conan just now? Oh~ it’s a Chinese specialty liquor called Laobaigan! It has special effects on colds! “

“Really, to give this kind of thing to a child, is it okay for you, Conan?”

“No… no… I’m going too… Sister Xiaolan…”

“Eh…” Hitomi Maori looked at Conan with a vertical line, “That’s what you call no alcohol…”

“Madam, you’re back!” said the butler.

“Where’s my lord?”

“I think the master should be in the study. These guests are…”

“He’s an old friend of mine, Mr. Maury.”

“Mom, I’m sorry,” the girl under investigation greeted the woman.

“Why are you here,” the woman asked.

“I asked her to come,” it seemed to be the son of a diplomat. “I saw that my father really didn’t want to see Sachiko, so I forced my father to agree to see Sachiko.”

“So… are these guests your friends?” The Sachiko asked with a smile.

“Is it none of your business? Besides, I don’t think you have any status to call me mom directly.”

“Yes… I’m sorry…” Sachiko lowered her head in frustration.

Then the woman took everyone to the second floor. . “Che~ it’s just a second room, what a cow.” The diplomat’s son curled his lips in disdain. . .

The people walking up the stairs met an old man on the stairs. The diplomat’s wife looked up and asked, “What’s the matter, Dad? You haven’t gone out yet?”

The old man shook his head, “I was just about to let you take a look at the fish I tune. How big is it?”

“Well…it’s really big…then I’ll take them to the master first, and I’ll come to you later.” The old man nodded and went downstairs. . .

Dong Dong Dong “Husband, Mr. Maori is here.. Husband?” The woman called for a long time, but no one opened the door.

“It’s weird, isn’t it inside?” So he took out the key and opened the door to see, “Husband, aren’t you in the study? Really, the sound was on and it didn’t turn off, and you fell asleep like this… …”

Hitomi Maori, who followed everyone to the room, suddenly heard that the diplomat’s heart beat a few times, then stopped, and then the sound of a needle falling to his ears. . Turn around. . The diplomat’s wife looked at her husband, the diplomat, lying on the ground in horror. . . .

The people who were startled by the sound of the man falling to the ground hurried to the side of the diplomat. Hattori checked and said to the woman who was calling her husband’s name, “No need to call, your husband is dead.”

Mouri Kogoro hurriedly shouted to Xiao Lan, “Xiao Lan, hurry up and call the police… oh… ok…”

Conan and Hitomi Mori also squatted and looked at the corpse. Conan whispered, “There is still residual warmth on the deceased, and his lips have begun to turn purple, and… Little Hitomi, look! There is a small red spot around his ear…”

Hitomi Maori pointed, “There…”

Conan followed Hitomi Mao’s hand and saw a needle. . . Hattori Heiji also looked curiously in the direction of Hitomi Mori’s fingers. . . “That needle should be the murder weapon~”

In the end, he collided with Conan who was about to pick up the needle. Conan rubbed his head. . “it hurts..”

Hattori Heiji stood up and grabbed Conan, “How could this kid be in such a place, how could a child see the body…” Then he threw Conan to Ran. .

“And you…” Hattori Heiji pointed at Hitomi Mouri, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com “Leave me too.” Hitomi Hitomi glanced at Hattori Heiji disdainfully, then turned and left. .

“Hmph~ stinky little devil~~~~”

Standing not far away, Hitomi Mouri put her hand on Conan’s shoulder, “How is it? What did you find?”

Conan thought for a while, “This guy will not be dead for more than half an hour at most, and the windows and doors here are locked, so the murderer must have a key, or used some method to make this a secret room.”

Hitomi Maori smiled, “That woman is the murderer, remember that I know how to listen.”

Conan nodded, and Hitomi Mouri continued, “As we entered, I heard the heartbeat of the deceased beating a few times, then stopped, and at the same time there was the sound of a needle falling to the ground, And there was only the woman next to that guy at the time…”

“But none of this can be used as evidence. So I only tell you that the murderer is her. How to find the evidence to make her confess is up to you.”

Conan nodded in surprise, “Don’t worry, since she’s been locked down, it’s much easier to get evidence by conducting a special investigation on her.”

Looking at Conan, who was on the verge of being shaky, Hitomi Mouri estimated in her heart that it seemed that the time for transformation was running out. . . . .

Soon after, Officer Mumu brought the police to the scene and examined the deceased.

“The deceased was killed by poison, and the wound was the eye of the needle beside the ear, and there was the fallen weapon beside the deceased. Although the deceased died with his hands on his cheeks, in my opinion, I am afraid that After being stabbed to death with a poison needle, he deliberately put on this posture.” Hattori Heiji said to Miki.
