Pretend To Be a Good Person In the World of Conan - Chapter 357

The side of the stairs is engraved with a piece of writing, which is drawn with a sharp object. The writing is ferocious. Heiji Hattori even subtly sees a little despair from it:

[That person pretended to be me and wanted to seize the treasures in the castle…]

The last word is not finished, but it is enough to express the meaning of the person who wrote it.

Hattori Heiji squatted down and carefully observed these short lines.

A lot of gray has fallen on the words, indicating that these words have existed for a long time. And it took so much effort to leave handwriting in such a place, indicating that the person who wrote the letter could not leave, and may be imprisoned here.

By pretending to be the person who wrote the words, you can win the treasure… This shows that the person who left these words has a high status, and it is likely to be a master in the castle.

But when Hattori Heiji was looking for Conan just now, he didn’t forget to collect clues in the castle – this family is rare, if there is a major incident of a master being kidnapped, you will definitely hear some rumors.

But Hattori Heiji had never heard of such a situation.

His eyes stopped on the word “counterfeit” on the wall, and suddenly a chill went down his spine.

…Perhaps the original owner has been replaced in some way, so the other servants don’t know anything about it.

The means of replacement are nothing more than plastic surgery and disguise.

Short-term deception, you can use easy.

But the people in this family are basically dead, and the only few people are currently living in the castle. Judging from the idea of ​​lettering, the “fake” that has lasted for so long is more likely to be plastic surgery.

…so who exactly got replaced?

The stepson of that Mamiya Man is more likely, his parents have passed away, and no one knows him well.

But thinking about it this way, neither Ma Gongman nor the old lady are too familiar.

Also, is it possible that it is a deceased lady? For example, someone suddenly found out that his wife had been changed, and set fire to it in anger, resulting in the unfortunate death of the counterfeit person in that fire?

Wait, mentioning fire…

Just thinking about it, a shocked voice suddenly came from behind Baishi: “Look at this.”

Hattori Heiji was startled and ran over quickly.

Shiraishi is not the type who likes to be surprised. Combined with his previous experience in finding organs, what can shock him must be some very useful clues.

Sure enough, Hattori Heiji followed Shiraishi’s direction and saw a small ball of gray thread.

He squatted down, and under the complicated gaze of Shiraishi next to him, he picked it up and twisted it professionally, and came to the conclusion, “It should be the hair.”

The hair had begun to rot, and it was also covered with a lot of dust, and it was horribly dry, like the hair of a dead man.

But the fracture is relatively new, as if it had just been pulled off.

Combined with the very old color of the hair, Hattori Heiji immediately identified a person in his guess – the old lady.

Before, although he also included the old lady on the suspect list, he felt that the possibility was not too high.

If you want to imprison a person, even an elderly person with inconvenient legs and feet, requires a certain amount of strength, and it is difficult for peers to operate. Moreover, it is prone to risks, and many clinics may not accept elderly patients.

– In other words, the impostor should not be old, but younger.

So, who would want to have plastic surgery to look like an old lady, huddled in a wheelchair every day, and pretending to be Alzheimer’s?

Even if it is trying to make money, compared with youthful appearance and freedom, is a treasure with uncertain contents really that important?

However, the hair in front of him shows that the truth can be so absurd.

This made Hattori Heiji a little puzzled—could it be that this counterfeiter already knew the contents of the treasure and believed that it was a treasure that could make him lose his youth, appearance, and freedom?

“…These prisoners, the brain circuits are really hard to figure out.” Hattori Heiji threw the clump of hair away, pointed to the engraving on the back that he had just checked, and told Shiraishi what he had guessed.

“So that’s the case.” Shiraishi nodded after hearing this, and began to “reason”, “Since she’s pretending to be an old lady with inconvenient legs and likes to stay in the room, she should have a lot of free time. Judging from the surrounding …”

He took a flashlight and swung it around, illuminating the chaotic path, and continued:

“There must be more than one entrance to this secret passage. The ‘old lady’ may have been using these secret passages to get in and out of the castle.

“Today, she found that Mr. Mamiya let outsiders in, followed us vigilantly, and then found that a child entered the secret passage… So, Conan may have been captured by her.” Shiraishi tried his best to bring the situation to this side. lead.

And it’s not a lie, it’s a fact.

“Yeah, but she has been able to disguise successfully for so long. Maybe she has other helpers in the castle. We are too few.” There are not many people who can fight. Heiji Hattori added in his heart, and continued:

“I have contacted my dad’s colleagues before, and when they come, let’s start a large-scale search~www.mtlnovel.com~ He glanced at his mobile phone: “Now we have to find the exit first, the underground signal is too poor, Can’t get in touch with them. “

Shiraishi had no objection.

On the way to find the exit, the two briefly chatted a few words, and Shiraishi took the opportunity to reveal the spoiler quietly, and pieced together the idea that Hattori Heiji had a prototype.

Hattori Heiji’s curiosity in this area was satisfied, and he finally began to think about the meaning of that chessboard.

Shiraishi also needs Hattori Heiji to send the information to the “old lady”.

He said thoughtfully: “I think the hidden information in the chessboard may be related to that grandfather.”

In fact, Shiraishi only remembered the result, not exactly why it was related.

However, a young detective like Hattori Heiji, who is competitive and has a lot of face, should not be like the Miki police department, who will come over immediately after hearing the conclusion and ask “why why?”

In terms of setting, the reasoning ability of Conan and Hattori Heiji is not much different.

In the original world line, Conan did not get any prompts, and he could come up with the answer after a period of time. It makes no sense that Heiji Hattori could not come up with the prompts.

Of course, if he really can’t think of it, and because he is worried about the safety of his comrades, he chooses to leave his face and ask Shiraishi a question, Shiraishi intends to say, “From the description of the helper and Mr. Mamiya, the old gentleman is a *%* #@&人”—Here I use a few ignorant professional terms, conduct a messy personality analysis, and finally indicate that the secret code set by the old man is likely to be related to himself.

Fortunately, Hattori Heiji did not let him spend his words.

The western high school detective really started to think for himself, and after a few minutes, he slammed a punch into his palm, and suddenly realized: “So it is!”
