Chapter 1374 Tang Ze: Sorry for cheating

For cases where Tang Ze has memories, he basically has no difficulty.

Changde only needs to find the person step by step and provide irrefutable physical evidence to quickly close the case.

And this has a premise, that is, Tangze can match the two-dimensional image of the anime in his memory with the three-dimensional image of the prisoner in front of him.

Generally speaking, Ke Xue's world is all about choosing one of three. There are basically no outsiders. I feel that the gender, name, and appearance are vague in memory, and I can almost identify the right number.

But the embarrassing point of this case was that the crime took place in a restaurant, and there were quite a lot of customers. He couldn't find the prisoner based on the vague two-dimensional image in his mind.

And here, with the fragrant smell of curry, his super sense of smell was also greatly suppressed.

What's even more embarrassing is that Tang Ze really may not be able to solve this mystery.

Because he is a flower soul, neon language is his second language, and he was born and lived in Kanto, so he only knows Kansai accent.

In other words, it is a weak point when it comes to dialects. Without knowing the basics of dialects, it is normal for him to be clueless.

But fortunately, he has thought of a good method.

Looking at Hattori Heiji with a proud expression on his face, Karasawa also had a slight smile on his lips.

Obviously, Hattori Heiji, as a Kansai native, has found clues in this case.

And he planned to wait for the other party to find the three suspects before taking action to deal with the prisoners.

As for the smug Hattori Heiji on the side, he didn't know that Karasawa was using the murderous strategy of "the mantis stalks the cicada before the oriole behind", and he was looking at the two of them smugly at the moment.

"In that case, it seems that I will win against Tangze Criminal first this time!"

Hattori Heiji looked like Conan when he said this: "As for Kudo Shinichi, let alone Kudo Shinichi, after all, the opponent has never defeated Karasawa Criminal once.

Well, although I am somewhat defeated this time, after all, I am from Kansai, and I don’t think I can surpass Karasawa Criminal this time.

But if you want to overwhelm someone, that's enough. "

"You guy, don't tell me!!"

After hearing Hattori Heiji's words, Conan looked at him in surprise.

"Ah, I have determined that the deceased did not commit suicide, but was killed by the prisoner."

When Hattori Heiji said this, he looked towards the restaurant and smiled confidently: "And I also know that the prisoner is still in the restaurant!"

"Real or false!" Conan quickly asked: "What exactly is going on."

"Well~ Since you asked the question sincerely, let me, a famous detective, kindly explain it to you~"

Hattori Heiji's proud tone and condescending expression made Conan on the side want to hit him.

"Okay, stop playing around, finish handling the case and go back." Karasawa glanced at Sera Masumi and said, "If you want to chat and joke, wait until you can relax."

Hattori Heiji understood what Karasawa meant when he heard this, and said with a straight face: "Actually, the problem I found appears in what the other party said."

"Words? Did you mean that the deceased said he wanted to surrender?" Conan asked.

"Yes, I'll repeat it for you to listen to and see." Hattori Heiji smiled and repeated the words Kamel repeated.

——"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."

"This is it."

Because Hattori Heiji did not lower his voice, after hearing what he repeated in Kansai accent, Kamel immediately shouted: "That's the accent I heard at that time!
  That's why I say that the man must have confessed his crime to others at that time, and then he committed suicide because of the condemnation of his conscience. "

"is it?"

Hattori Heiji asked back, and then smiled and said something that surprised everyone: "What if I told you that he was persuading the person he was talking to to surrender?"

"How is that possible?" Kamel said in disbelief: "He clearly said "me" instead of "have"!"

"In Kansai accent, the word "self" at this time refers to you." Hattori Heiji said with a smile: "In our case, this means "you"."

"For example, "We will be responsible for you," the "we" in this sentence does not include the other party, but if it is "Let's discuss it," it does include the other party."

Sera Zhengan spread her hands and said with a smile: "Neon language also has many difficult parts to understand."

"In other words, do you have to replace "I" with "you" before looking at what the other person said?"

Officer Memu suddenly said: "It turns out that he was not blaming himself, but blaming the other party and urging the other party to surrender."

"Yes, that's it."

Hattori Heiji nodded, then looked at Kamel and said: "Also, let me ask, does the word "eat" in the sentence "give poison to little Abe" sound close to "paint"?"

"That's right."

Kamel nodded and said: "But I think applying poison to people sounds a bit strange. Maybe I heard it wrong. It should be "eat"."

"But it's not true. You have completely misunderstood." Hattori Heiji said with a smile: "The so-called "little Abe" actually refers to not a person, but a candy ball."

"Candy balls!?" Kamel said in disbelief when he heard this: "Are the candy balls you are talking about a snack for children?"

"That's right." Hattori Heiji nodded with a smile: "And the man who died in the bathroom also had a poisoned candy ball in his mouth, right?"

"I see, did you mistake the similar-sounding "Little Sugar Ball" for the name "Little Abe"?"

Officer Megure touched his chin and said suddenly: "But it's no wonder that you heard it wrong. The two pronunciations are indeed similar. Even if we hear the pronunciation of Kansai accent, we probably won't understand the meaning."

"But the question is, why do you need to add a small word to "candy ball"?" Kamel asked puzzled.

"Well, actually I don't know either."

Hearing Kamel's half-asking and half-complaining words, Hattori Heiji also smiled awkwardly, unable to give a reasonable explanation.

"Something like regional slang?"

Tang Ze thought for a while and said: "Many speeches cannot actually be traced back to their origins, but they have been passed down from generation to generation.

But that’s not what we should be paying attention to now. If this was the case, then the prisoner who made the deceased eat the poisoned candy should also have been in the bathroom at the time of the crime! "

"But I didn't hear another person's voice at the crime scene..." Sera Masumi frowned.

"But I don't doubt what this FBI guy said."

Hattori Heiji smiled and said: "I am more inclined to think that the reason why he did not hear the sound may be because the topic he wanted to dissuade the prisoner was too sensitive. Therefore, although the deceased and the prisoner made an appointment to meet at this restaurant, the two did not Interview. The deceased did not realize at all that the two of them came to the same restaurant but ate at different tables and only talked on the phone. It was simply the murderer who poisoned him for the convenience of the murder."

"According to your guess, the criminal's method should be very simple."

Tang Ze touched his chin and muttered: "As long as you can actively lure the other person to the bathroom on the phone, then you only need to go to the bathroom and stuff the poisonous candy into his mouth without talking at all.

After that, you only need to throw the phone into the toilet and sink it into the water to destroy the phone, and the call records will be destroyed. "

"But then something happened that the prisoner didn't expect."

Masumi Sera looked at the tall Kamel and smiled and said: "The isolation of the bathroom actually happened to have an FBI agent who saw the scene of the deceased.

So based on his professional experience, he immediately notified the store to block the exit and let the guests stay in the restaurant. "

"In other words, the murderer is still in this restaurant!"

Conan put his head in his hands and concluded: "The key now is to find a suspect who meets the criteria based on the existing intelligence."

In doing this, Takagi said that he was really familiar with it.

Although his reasoning ability is not good, Takagi is still confident that he can narrow down the suspects to about three people after conducting a large-scale investigation of qualified targets.

And this time was no exception. Takagi soon came with a small notebook to report that he had found three suspects.

"Are there no more suspects?" Officer Megure asked worriedly, "But I see that there are quite a few customers in the restaurant who meet the requirements."

"Yes, although there are seven age-appropriate customers in total, four of them are with companions."

Hearing this, Takagi explained: "And when Mr. Kamel came out of the bathroom and shouted that someone died.

These customers were either ordering food from the waiter, or asking the waiter to help clean up the table that had been messed up by the children.

According to the waiter, they had talked several minutes ago, so they had a sufficient alibi.

And without an alibi, there were only three people sitting in the smoking area eating alone. "

Following Takagi's pointing, Karasawa and others looked at the three men waiting in the seats in the corner.

"Let's go over and ask."

Karasawa took a step forward and was about to walk towards the three of them, but at this moment Hattori Heiji stopped Karasawa and said, "Well, leave the investigation to me from the beginning."

"What are you talking about?" Mu Mu, who was on the side, stared at the words: "How could I leave the investigation to a high school student like you!"

"But the suspect might be from the Kansai region, right?"

Hattori Heiji smiled and said: "If I, the contact person, were to ask the question, maybe I would be able to spot the prisoner's flaws."

"Um…"

Officer Megure pondered and looked at each other with Tang Ze, and finally nodded: "Okay."

"Thank you." Hattori Heiji thanked him and took the lead in walking towards the three of them.

"The three of you also know why we are calling you alone, right?" Hattori Heiji looked at the three of them and said, "Then please introduce us first."

"I-my name is Suberoli..."

The middle-aged man wearing a green sweater vest and glasses said nervously: "Now I live in an apartment in Mihua Town."

"Then where is your hometown?" Hattori Heiji asked in Kansai accent.

"I-I'm a local who grew up in Tokyo." Suberoli answered honestly.

"Hmm~" Hattori Heiji heard the words and moved closer to look at the other person carefully, while Suberoli said dissatisfied: "Mr. Criminal, what is the situation with this young man?"

"Well, don't worry about these details." Mumu smiled sarcastically and comforted the other party: "Anyway, just answer his questions honestly."

"Sir, I see that you have been sweating nervously since the beginning." Hattori Heiji's tone turned sharp: "You are not deliberately hiding something, are you?"

"It's not that!" Suberoli waved his hands quickly: "It's the curry I ate that was too spicy."

"Ah?" Hattori Heiji said in astonishment: "It has been almost an hour since the murder occurred. You should have finished eating very early, right?"

"I just finished eating." Suberoli explained: "Because I couldn't do anything right away, I felt more and more hungry, so I ordered this just now."

"Someone has died, and you still accept the order." Hattori Heiji looked at the waiter next to him and complained.

"how about you."

Hattori Heiji turned to look at the man wearing a red sweater: "Would you like to introduce yourself?"

"My name is Gan Keheng, and my friends call me Forrest Gump every day."

While smoking a cigarette, Amakasu Hiroshi said: "The place I live in now is an apartment in Cupido-cho, and I am also a true Tokyoite.

Are you satisfied with this? A guy from Osaka. "

Because he heard the questions from Hattori Heiji's previous interrogation, the other party gave the answers to those questions very simply.

"You seem to be sweating profusely too." Hattori Heiji put his hands on his hips and said meaningfully: "Are you afraid of something?"

"I'm not afraid!" Amaki Heng said, but his expression couldn't help but panic: "Don't talk nonsense!"

‘Why is this guy so scared all of a sudden? Is he a coward? Still hiding something...'

But before Hattori Heiji could continue to ask, Hiroshi Amakasu laughed with a mean expression: "Hahaha, no, it's just because the bowl of ramen I ate is very spicy!"

"really?"

At this moment, Tang Ze suddenly stood up and looked at Amaki Hiroshi with a playful look on his face: "Why do I feel that you are using this kind of prank to cover up your inner uneasiness?"

"Are you kidding me!" Amaki Heng suddenly panicked when he heard Tang Ze's words: "Who are you? Don't just accuse good people randomly!!"

“Injustice to a good man?”

Tang Ze looked at Amakasu with a half-smile and said, "Are you sure you are talking about yourself?
  But why, the smell you carry tells me that you are not a good person, but a murderer. "

"Hey, hey, no way..." Hattori Heiji heard Karasawa's words and helplessly held his forehead and said: "Is this a foul?"

Conan on the side nodded calmly, obviously deeply aware of it and even used to such a scene.
