Conan's other me

Chapter 26

"High, high school student detective?"

Uncle Maori showed a surprised look.

"Ah!"

Conan also made his own response.

Seeing this, Hattori Heiji took out a bottle wrapped in cloth from his bag, poured out a glass of transparent liquid, and said to Conan, "Hey! Brat! I have a special cold medicine here, try it?"

"Thank you." Conan took the cup.

"I heard that there is a smart and capable young detective in Kansai. Could it be—" Uncle Mori asked.

"That's right. Kudo and I are called Suitou Higashi Kudo, and we are often compared." Hattori Heiji responded, and then turned to Fengyuan, who had been quiet all the time, "Hey, how about you? Would you like some? This thing should be able to prevent colds."

Feng Yuan shook his head and refused.

He doesn't like drinking.

And it does something else.

Hattori didn't take it seriously, turned around and said to Uncle Mori: "Kudou suddenly disappeared recently, and there is no report about him, and there are rumors that he is missing..."

"Ah!"

Conan sneezed, then gulped down a full glass of white wine.

Almost the next moment, Conan became dizzy.

Xiaolan hurriedly supported Conan who was about to fall, and seeing Conan's drunken face, "What did you make him drink!"

"Chinese wine, Baigan!" Hattori Heiji said triumphantly as he removed the cloth wrapping the wine bottle.

Seeing the other person's expression, Xiaolan became even angrier, "Wine? How can you let a child drink this!?"

"It's okay, don't worry, it will definitely work!" Hattori Heiji plucked his ears and said impatiently, "Okay! Now tell me where Kudo is!"

"I told you that he's not here..." Xiaolan said impatiently, but then she realized that she had just said this, and it would be endless if it went on like this, "What on earth are you looking for Xinyi for?"

"It's nothing important! I just want to meet that kid, to make sure... Is Kudo Shinichi qualified to be on the same level as me!"

"..."

Xiaolan was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.

"Ah!" Conan sneezed again.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

A commission has come to your door.

In order not to affect Uncle Mao Li's work, everyone had to temporarily stop.

Xiaolan brought the client in and sat down, then ran to make tea, while Hattori sat beside the uncle unceremoniously and listened to the client.

The client is Koe Tsujimura, the wife of Isao Tsujimura, a diplomat.

……

"Do you want to investigate the conduct records of your son's girlfriend?" Uncle Mao Li asked.

"That's right. Here are her pictures and experiences."

"Sachiko Katsuragi, 24 years old...Student at Dongdu Medical University..." Uncle Mori read while watching, "...Isn't this pretty good! Do you have any dissatisfaction?"

His Mori Kogoro is going to be heartbroken!
"I'm not displeased with her," Mrs. Tsujimura said, "it's just—"

"It's just because the conditions are too good, so I don't like it," Hattori Heiji interjected, "Human nature is like this, when you see a perfect thing, you want to pick the bone...Auntie, am I right?"

"Who is this child?" said Mrs. Tsujimura.

"My little girl's friend!" Uncle Mori explained while telling Hattori to shut up, but Mrs. Tsujimura didn't seem to mind.

After a few more words, Mrs. Tsujimura got up and asked Uncle Mori to go to Tsujimura's house and have a detailed discussion with Tsujimura Xun, on the grounds that diplomats are not suitable for a place like a detective agency.

Uncle Maori couldn't refuse.

Hattori Heiji, who was here to compete with Kudo Shinichi, naturally would not miss this potential opportunity to compete. In order to ensure that Kudo Shinichi would appear on the stage, he also took Xiaolan, Fengyuan and Conan to go together.

So after a while, after Hattori Heiji's urging, the group headed to Tsujimura's house neatly.

Due to the large number of people, they called a taxi.

In the car that Fengyuan was in, Hattori Heiji sat in the front, and Ran, Conan, and Fengyuan sat in the back.Conan looked better than before, but if you look closely, you can see that his body temperature is higher than before.

After thinking for a while, Fengyuan took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Dr. Ali.

The taxi finally stopped in front of a very grand villa.

Mrs. Tsujimura carefully paid the fare for Xiaolan's car, which made Uncle Mori heave a sigh of relief.

In front of the villa stood the butler of the Tsujimura family.

"Madam, you are back!" The butler bowed.

"What about sir?"

"The master is still in the study on the second floor." The butler replied, and then looked at Mrs. Tsujimura's Mori Kogoro, "Who is this?"

"My old friend, Mr. Mori." Mrs. Tsujimura said before Uncle Mori could answer.As discussed before, she didn't want others to know the identity of Uncle Mori's detective.

Passing over the butler, Mrs. Tsujimura led a group of people straight into the house, and unexpectedly met the investigation target Sachiko Katsuragi.

Just like in the photo, this is a very beautiful beauty with a good personality.

But Mrs. Tsujimura treated her badly.

After that, they met Mr. Tsujimura, who likes fishing.He is the father of Isao Tsujimura, the owner of the family.

Mrs. Tsujimura stopped and chatted with him for a few words, then led everyone upstairs, came to the study, and knocked on the door.

"Husband! I'm back!" Mrs. Tsujimura shouted a few times, and then knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response.

Shouting again, Mrs. Tsujimura took out the key from her bag, opened the door and walked in.The crowd followed closely behind.

The sound that was only faintly audible outside the door suddenly penetrated everyone's ears.

"I'm listening to an opera..." Hattori Heiji said, looking at the stereo in the house.

"Really... fell asleep without turning off the stereo..." Mrs. Tsujimura walked over to call her husband while talking.

Isao Tsujimura is a middle-aged man with a hairstyle similar to that of Dr. A Li. He is wearing a formal suit and is sitting at the table with his chin propped up. There is a stack of books in front of the table, and he looks like he is asleep.

Mrs. Tsujimura came up behind him, put her hand on his shoulder and shook his body.

Then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, diplomat Isao Tsujimura fell to the ground like this, making a dull sound.

died.

……

The dead were poisoned.

There is a small red dot behind the ear of the dead body, and there is also a needle that is suspected of being the murder weapon dropped nearby.

The lips, fingers, and toes of the corpse had turned purple, and there were bleeding spots on the conjunctiva, indicating that he died of suffocation.

No signs of strangulation or drowning were found, and there was no painful expression on the face of the deceased, so the deceased could only be suffocated to death by someone paralyzing the nerves with poison.

However, from the fact that the body was still warm and the mortis had not yet appeared, it can be inferred that the deceased had been dead for less than 10 minutes when he was discovered.

There is still the key to this room in the pocket of the corpse, and the only other key left is Mrs. Tsujimura's key to open the door, so this room was once a secret room.

The above is the reasoning completed by Hattori Heiji and Conan at the same time.

But after that, the two diverged.

Hattori Heiji paid more attention to the secret room, and thought of using thread and tape to pass the key through the crack of the door and send it to the dead man's pocket from the outside.

Conan paid more attention to the stereo and the stack of books in front of the dead man.

However, he is in a very bad state now, and with the presence of an unconfused detective like Hattori Heiji, it is difficult for Conan to look at the key clues under the guise of Uncle Mori like before.

No, just when he was trying to get a look at the key ring in the pocket of the dead body from Megure Police Department and Hattori Heiji, Xiaolan stopped him.

"Conan! Don't disturb Hattori's case!"

Xiaolan pulled Conan aside, and then continued to watch Hattori Heiji reasoning slightly in a daze.

Like Shinichi...

Xiaolan thought so.

Jealousy welled up in Conan's heart.

However, as soon as the jealousy surged, there was a sharp pain in his chest, which made Conan couldn't help but grab the clothes on his chest, and fell to the side.

Then was supported.

"Shall we go to the hospital?" Fengyuan said while supporting Conan.
