Chapter 1373 Meeting Kamel by chance

In the restaurant, after meeting Kazuha, and after Kazuha calmed down, Hattori Heiji asked him what happened before.

"You are saying that when you were buying the store's unique vacuum-packed curry at the counter, the foreign man over there suddenly ran over from the bathroom and shouted that someone was dead and asked the store to call the police quickly."

Hattori Heiji summarized what Toyama Kazuha said before and confirmed: "Isn't that right?"

"Yes!" Yuan Shan and Ye nodded and said, "Not only that, he also asked to seal off the bathroom so that no one can enter or exit. Just in case, he didn't allow anyone to leave."

"Did the foreign man you mentioned speak in English?" Hattori Heiji asked.

"No, he is very proficient in neon language." Heye shook his head and said, "He was also the first person to find a deceased person in the bathroom."

"Together, these factors sound a bit suspicious." Sera Masaki said after hearing this.

"He speaks fluent neon language, is very tall, and knew how to control the scene immediately after the incident..."

After hearing Kazuye's description, Tangze raised his forehead and said, "I seem to have guessed who it is..."

"Oh? Do you think you know this person?" Shiliang Zhenzhen asked curiously.

"It's just possible." After Tang Ze said this, he looked at Officer Megure who came over and said hello: "Police department, thank you for your hard work."

"Work normally and do your job."

Officer Memu waved his hands and looked at everyone and complained: "Forget it, brother Tangze, but you young people, why are you always there at the crime scene?"

"There's nothing I can do. This time I came here with Ye to buy curry, and then I couldn't get out."

Hattori Heiji shrugged and said, "In order to clear her suspicions early, we have no choice but to come over and solve the case."

"What luck..." Officer Megure was speechless after hearing Hattori's words.

"Officer Megure, it's better not to worry about this. No one can predict luck."

Feeling the helplessness in Mu Mu's heart, Tangze changed the subject and said, "Let's talk about the situation of the deceased first?"

"Dead by poisoning."

Takagi held a notepad and said: "We found a yellow candy in the mouth of the deceased.

The poisonous component of cyanic acid has been detected on it. Not only that, the same candies were also found in the deceased's pocket.

So at present, suicide is not ruled out.

By the way, the foreigner who first discovered the deceased also said the same thing, thinking that the deceased committed suicide. "

"Who is the foreigner who found the deceased?"

Sera Masumi asked curiously: "From what this police officer said, he seems to be very familiar with the scene of the criminal case?"

"Well, that's right." Takagi sneered: "The other party can be considered someone who has some connections with our police."

"Ah! No wonder Tangze Criminal said he guessed who it was."

Xiaolan suddenly looked at Tangze for advice and said, "So, could that foreigner be..."

"it's me."

At this moment, a strong man came up behind Xiaolan. He touched the back of his neck and said sheepishly: "The situation was urgent at the time, so I did this unknowingly."

"It's indeed Agent Kamel!" Xiaolan said with a smile when she saw the man walking behind her.

"Do you actually know this foreigner who looks like a gangster?" Hattori Heiji looked up at the tall Kamel and said in shock.

"Hey, Heiji!"

Toyama and Ye couldn't help but said after hearing Hattori Heiji's words: "Even if he looks like a gangster, you can't say it in front of your face. It's too rude!"

"Heye-chan, it's even more rude of you to say this..." Xiaolan smiled awkwardly.

The young couple were stunned when they heard this, and then looked at Kamel with embarrassment on his face.

"Kamel just looks fierce, but he's actually a very nice person."

Tang Ze smiled and greeted the other party. After all, he and the other party had also dealt with each other several times in the case, not to mention the interactions during the disguise during the main plot.

"Let's not talk about that first. You said agent before. What kind of agent is he?" Hattori Heiji looked at Kamel and asked curiously.

"He's an FBI agent." Tang Ze smiled and said, "But in Neon, he is just an ordinary tourist who comes here for vacation."

"Yes."

Kamal smiled and nodded when he heard this: "I have been to this restaurant with my friends before and had curry. Because it was so delicious that I couldn't forget it, so I came here to eat it alone.

Who would have thought that this murder would happen. "

'How delicious is the curry here...'

After hearing Kamel's words, this thought flashed through everyone's minds, and curiosity about this curry arose in their hearts.

Because just among the people around me, two people were involved in the case for eating curry.

This is already a very high ratio. After all, this restaurant has such a small amount of traffic that a girl from Kansai and a foreigner can come here to buy curry.

For a moment, everyone, including Karasawa, wanted to try this curry rice.

"Then please, Mr. Kamel, please repeat the situation when the body was found."

Even though he wanted to try this restaurant's food again, Karasawa knew that now was not the time to eat, so he asked about business.

"Then I'll start from when I went to the bathroom." After hearing Tangze's words, Kamel, who knew the other party's identity, did not hesitate, nodded and agreed.

In order to facilitate the explanation, everyone followed Kamel to the crime scene in the bathroom, and also saw the deceased in this case.

The deceased this time was a somewhat thin middle-aged man, wearing a gray coat, sitting on the toilet in the bathroom as if falling asleep.

"Takagi-kun, have you found out the identity of the deceased?" After looking at the deceased, Tang Ze turned around and asked.

"not yet."

Hearing this, Takagi shook his head and said, "We have checked the deceased's belongings, and he did not carry anything with him that could prove his identity."

"Not only that, the only clue that could be found was the mobile phone that was dropped into the toilet and soaked in water."

Officer Megure reluctantly added: "For the time being, there is no way to quickly identify the deceased."

"Mr. Kamel, where were you at that time?" Karasawa looked at Kamel and asked. "I was going to the bathroom two rooms away from him." Kamel pointed to the bathroom next to him.

"Then why do you think he was not killed, but committed suicide?" Sera Masumi asked curiously, holding his hands.

"Mainly because I heard him speak at that time." Kamel explained after hearing the words: "The other party said this at the time——

"Even if we are childhood sweethearts, I cannot agree to such a request. I was the one who killed little Abe by giving him poison. In this case, I should take responsibility."

After he finished speaking these words, I heard his painful groan.

I didn't feel good, so I ran out to check the situation, and found this situation. "

"After discovering the murder, you quickly ran out to explain the situation to the store, blocked off the restroom, and asked all the guests in the store not to go out, right?"

Tangze nodded and said in deep thought: "But judging from the conversation you just recounted, he was probably talking to someone here. After that, he also showed his intention to surrender.

And judging from the words of the deceased, it seems that the other party wanted to tell the police that he poisoned a man named "Little Abe" and surrendered to take responsibility.

The person he was talking to killed the deceased out of self-preservation for some reason.

In this case, you should think that the prisoner killed the other party, right?
  Why do you think the other person committed suicide? "

"That's right, I just suddenly remembered that the deceased came to this restaurant to eat alone."

Kamel heard the words and explained: "Not only that, I didn't hear the conversation between the man and him in the bathroom.

So I thought he was on the phone in the bathroom, and the person on the phone wanted to stop him from committing suicide, but he obviously didn't take it to heart.

That's why I feel that the deceased felt guilty because of killing someone, and finally committed suicide. "

"Can you confirm that the voice you heard is the deceased's own voice?" Hattori Heiji further confirmed.

"As for this, the other party should be right." Kamel nodded: "The main reason is that the deceased was sitting exactly opposite the seat where I was sitting.

Moreover, when the other party was talking to the waiter and ordering food, his voice was quite loud. "

"It is also because Mr. Kamel provided such testimony that we feel that the deceased committed suicide."

Speaking of this, Takagi looked a little troubled: "But on the other hand, there is no related case in Tokyo that the person named "Abe" mentioned by the deceased was poisoned."

"Does that mean it could be a case that happened in other counties and cities outside of Tokyo?" Karasawa frowned and sighed: "It's troublesome."

"Yes, after all, we have to handle the case across counties."

Officer Memu nodded with deep sympathy, and immediately said: "But my lover has actively cooperated with the investigation, and now I can only wait for the results."

"I do think that the person named "Abe" might have a very close relationship with the deceased."

Kamel expressed his opinion: "Because when I heard him say it, the other party also added a nickname like "little" to call him."

"The other party called "Little Abe"..." Conan said thoughtfully.

"Then do you hear anything else worth paying attention to?"

After asking the question, Officer Memu said discouragedly: "Well, after all, you are not a neon person, so I'm afraid you won't be able to hear the more detailed things.

Details such as accent or dialect. "

"Accent?" Kamel raised his head and thought for a moment, then pointed to Hattori Heiji aside and said: "When you put it like that, I think his accent is the same as that of the deceased!"

"Me!?" Hattori Heiji was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Then the deceased was a person who spoke with a Western accent!"

“I don’t understand the Kansai accent you’re talking about, but there are often final particles like “ah”, “ah”, and “婷” at the end of the language.”

"If this is the case, then the poisoning case of "Little Abe" mentioned by the deceased may be a case that happened in Kansai." Masumi Sera guessed.

"Have someone contact the Kansai police station to investigate and verify whether this is the case!" Officer Megure even more decisively issued the order directly.

On the other side, Kamel, after hearing Sera Masumi's words, noticed that the other person's face was unconsciously familiar, and he stared at it for a while.

"What's wrong?" Sera Masaki was sensitively aware of Kamel's gaze. She looked at him with her arms folded and asked, "You keep staring at me. Could it be that there is something dirty on my face?"

"Ah! No!" After hearing Sera's words, Kamel came back to his senses and waved his hands quickly.

"If you are confirming whether I am a boy or a girl, I can tell you the answer directly." Masaki Sera smiled and said, "I am a girl."

Kamel still stared at the other person after hearing this, while Sera Masumi faced the other person's gaze and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Of course, the breasts haven't grown yet!"

But when he heard Sera's self-deprecating joke, Kamel still had no reaction, not even a polite smile.

Because when he looked at Sera's pure face, he always felt familiar.

It was obviously the first time the two met, but he felt this way, which made him a little confused for a while.

But in the end Kamel still didn't ask, and after telling all this, the case came to a standstill again.

After all, based on what is known now, the information is quite scarce.

"Hey, Karasawa Criminal and Conan, what do you think about the case?"

Glancing at Sera Masumi who was standing next to Kamel chatting with him, Hattori Heiji looked at the two of them and asked.

"I don't have a clue yet."

Conan leaned against the wall and said, "But if Kansai can find out that there was a case in which Abe was poisoned, it might be easier to make progress."

"Where's Karasawa's criminal side?" Hattori Heiji looked at Karasawa expectantly, but looking at the eagerness on his face and the slight hint of pride, it was obviously not because he was worried about the case.

"I don't have it yet." But after Karasawa glanced at Hattori Heiji, he understood what the other person was thinking at this moment.

But he didn't say anything, just shook his head, waiting for the next development.

In fact, he still had some impressions of the case in front of him, but there was too little useful information that could be extracted from this impression.

He only remembered that this case seemed to be related to the Kansai dialect of Kanto. He couldn't remember the specific details, and then he remembered the prisoner.

But with just this kind of information, there is no way to find out the culprit.

Some people may say, you already know who the prisoner is, but you still can’t figure out the prisoner?

Isn't this a bit of a paradox?
  But actually not at all. The reason for this sense of contradiction is just because the progress of this case is temporarily stuck in a slightly embarrassing place.
