Chapter 1376 Letter from the Dead

Hattori and Heiji, who were heartbroken by Karasawa's murder, became autistic.

Even this time the isolation is stronger than before, because before they were just secretly competing with each other.

But this time, although it was nominally a showdown between Kanto and Kansai, Hattori Heiji, who found the clue and discovered that Karasawa had not noticed it, was so proud.

So when he was provoking, he and Tang Zeya also joined in the provocation. The victory or defeat between the two of them became a competition between the three of them.

Then Tangze went straight to find the prisoner, without even conducting an interrogation on the third person, and directly killed two people in a wave.

This level of heartache is really too uncomfortable and depressing.

But after Tangze's murderous act, the two of them no longer had the intention to compete, and Sera's true temptation was over.

After all, the two people who wanted to test were so autistic and silent, so Sera's true and pure purpose was naturally unable to be achieved.

"Okay, the case is over and we can relax for a while. Just relax and don't look so grim."

Karasawa rubbed Conan's dog's head, then patted Hattori Heiji's back and said with a smile: "Don't worry about unnecessary things. This curry tastes really good. If you don't mind, we're here Have a meal?
  To be honest, I just smelled the smell of curry in the restaurant and my mouth was already watering. You can tell from the smell that the curry in this restaurant tastes good. "

"We don't mind, but it depends on the girls whether they care." Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other and said.

"Then I'll ask Xiaolan and the others!"

Sera Masumi volunteered: "To be honest, I'm also very curious. Not only Xiaolan's friends, but also FBI agents who come here specially to eat during their vacations are what the curry tastes like."

After saying this, Sera Masumi ran to the corner where Xiaolan and Kazuye were staying.

After Conan saw the other party leaving, he looked at Hattori Heiji with drooping eyes and said: "You guy, you almost let it slip again just now!"

"I've obviously warned you, but you were provoked again by the other party." Tang Ze sighed: "Your fiery temper is so easy to be exploited, I even doubt whether calling you here is a wise move. "

"What?!" After hearing Karasawa's words, Hattori Heiji was dissatisfied and argued with a guilty conscience: "But I wasn't fooled either!"

"I almost got fooled." Conan complained with drooping fish eyes: "It's a good thing that you reacted quickly, otherwise even if you forcefully make excuses, I'm afraid the other party will find out the clues.

But aside from these things, you didn't play any role. You didn't test the other party at all. Instead, you were provoked by the other party to compete with me.

I also have some doubts about whether calling you here is a wise move. "

"What? One and two are like this!"

Hearing Conan's words, Hattori Heiji said angrily: "I came to Tokyo not for you, but because I have something serious to do, and agreeing to your request is just a side trip. Do you understand?"

These words clearly meant that coming to help was just a matter of convenience and did not carry much weight. He did not come to Tokyo specifically for this matter.

But the harsh words had a different meaning in Tang Ze's ears.

He smelled the smell of a case in it, so naturally he wanted to get more information to determine which case was about to happen next.

The case he just solved happened when he went to the curry shop with Ye, so theoretically there was no possibility for him to stop it.

But the next case involving Hattori Heiji himself was different. If it was still a familiar case, he might be able to stop the case and get a reward.

"Oh? There is something else." Tang Ze raised his eyebrows, showing interest: "Tell me more about it."

"It will take a while to talk about this. Let's discuss it in detail later during dinner." Hattori Heiji said with a smile.

After hearing this, Tang Ze did not continue to ask further questions, but called the two of them towards where Xiaolan and the two girls were.

"How about it? Have you discussed it?"

Looking at the three girls, Tang Ze asked with a smile: "Although it is a bit embarrassing to say that a murder occurred before, do you want to eat here?"

"Yes!" Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

"Well, we were so hungry just now. It's not like we haven't encountered murder cases before!"

Heye clenched his fists as if to cheer himself up and said, "The worst thing is that I don't have to go to the bathroom. You see so many customers, why don't they still stay here and eat here?"

"Anyway, we haven't encountered a case once or twice, let alone solved it, so just calm down." Tangze smiled and joked and comforted: "And I think the curry here is so delicious, wouldn't it be wrong not to try it? Be willing.”

Hearing this, Xiaolan nodded subconsciously: "When I was waiting for you just now, I was almost drooling. He Ye gave me candy balls to satisfy my craving."

"Then find a place to sit and let's eat."

Tang Ze waved to the waitress to find a seat for them, and the six of them sat opposite each other according to gender.

As for ordering food, everyone unanimously ordered curry rice instead of ramen.

Of course, everyone has their own choice in terms of spiciness.

Neon people generally can't eat spicy food, so whether it's the two girls or Conan and the others, they all choose mild spicy food.

Only Tang Ze chose the highest level of spiciness among everyone’s admiring eyes.

But I have to say that he made the right choice. The rich aroma of curry combined with the spiciness that was just right for him made his eyes light up.

It can be seen that the chef in this restaurant really cares.

Judging from Karasawa's cooking skills, which he knows a bit about various cuisines, this curry took a long time to cook, otherwise it wouldn't taste so good.

Paired with a piece of well-fried pork chop and a mouthful of rice, the taste made Karasawa squint his eyes unconsciously: "I didn't know before that there was such a delicious restaurant in Miwa Town."

"Yes, the curry in this store tastes really good!" Xiaolan agreed: "I also want to buy some vacuum-packed ones to take back. What do you think, Conan-kun?"

"I agree~" Conan raised his hand while eating curry, which made Xiaolan smile unconsciously: "Then let's choose the flavor together."

"Okay~" seems to be to downplay his detective temperament. At this moment, Conan can be said to be cute and cute to the extreme.

In the eyes of the three girls, this is the nature of children, but in the eyes of the two boys, it gave rise to goosebumps all over their bodies.

There is no way, they know that the other person is an adult, and now seeing the other person pretending to be young, doesn't that make them feel cold?

"Now that we have eaten, you should also tell us what else you have to do when you come to Tokyo, right?"

After eating a few mouthfuls of curry rice pads to fill his stomach, Karasawa, who had not forgotten to inquire about the case, looked at Hattori Heiji and asked: "Tell me more about it, do you have another commission?"

"I really can't hide it from you. The client is my mother's friend, but there is one special thing."

Speaking of this, Hattori Heiji also had a somewhat solemn expression on his face, "The sender this time is already dead."

"Eh!?"

Xiaolan was surprised when she heard Hattori Heiji's words: "Is it a letter sent by someone who has died? To Hattori-kun?" "Yes, that person is an acquaintance of my mother, the president of a design company in Tokyo. A man named Wakamatsu.”

Hattori Heiji stated: "I had met with him several times in the past, but last month, I heard the news that he was murdered in his villa in Karuizawa."

"You said he was killed!?" Shiliang Zhenzun said in shock.

"Well, the day of the incident happened to be Mr. Wakamatsu's wife's birthday. At that time, they were having a birthday party in the villa to celebrate her birthday."

Hattori Heiji nodded and said the case: "According to the local police investigation, the prisoner secretly broke into the villa for money, and then happened to be met by Mr. Wakamatsu.

After that, Mr. Wakamatsu was thought to have been killed. "

Being a thief is actually the profession most likely to evolve into home invasion and murder.

Don't talk about breaking in. When you step on the spot, you feel that no one is in the room, but it is possible that the owner of the room has returned for some reason.

What should I do if someone finds out?
  There are only two ways, one is to run away, the other is to kill and silence.

But the latter would definitely not be done by ordinary people. After all, thieves steal things, not break into houses to rob.

However, if you enter someone else's house and steal something, the owner's first reaction will definitely be to catch you, beat you up, and hand you over to the police.

So this contradiction arises, and the thief will fight back in order to protect himself.

In the panic, he didn't know the severity of his attack, and easily beat people to death.

Therefore, if the police found that money was missing from the deceased's home, and then the person was killed, it would be quite normal for them to make this judgment.

But Karasawa knew that since this case was related to Hattori Heiji, it was definitely not as simple as a burglary.

Maybe there is something else hidden in it.

"So, why would someone who has died send you a letter?" Karasawa looked at Hattori Heiji and asked.

"Could it be a letter that was sent to you before he was killed?" Sera Masumi asked after hearing this.

"No, the postmark on the letter sent to me was only stamped ten days after the case occurred."

As he spoke, Hattori Heiji took out the letter and showed it to everyone: "In other words, the stamp on the envelope was stamped by the post office ten days after the murder.

Mr. Wakamatsu's body may have been buried at this time, so how could he send a letter?

Therefore, although the name of the sender is Wakamatsu Kohei, there is a high probability that the letter is not from the other party.

Not only that, the content and tone of the letter seemed to be written by the murderer of Mr. Wakamatsu. "

"Prisoner!?" Conan looked shocked.

"kindness."

Hattori Heiji took out the letter, spread it out, and then read: "The beginning of this letter is written like this.

——"Dear Mr. Hattori Heiji, because I really want to meet you, a high school detective, I plan to confess to you the crimes I have committed.

But even if we meet, I still have some doubts about whether you can see me clearly?
  The reason why I say this is because I am an abnormal existence created by you humans without authorization.

It's a phantom that you can never see.

Even so, if you still want to meet me, I will appear at the house of the man I killed on the next full moon night, waiting for you. ""

After reading the contents of the letter, Hattori Heiji looked at everyone and added: "Then at the end of the letter was written the address of the deceased Mr. Wakamatsu's hometown in Osaka.

Apart from these"

Hattori Heiji said that the letter he held in his left hand fell outwards, and a key tied with a red string was held in his hand by Hattori Heiji: "There is also a key to the house in the envelope."

Seeing this, both Karasawa and Conan's eyes became much more solemn.

With their abilities, they would naturally not be confused about the meaning of the key appearing here.

The pretentious words in the letter have no effect on them at all, and it cannot interfere with their thoughts. They will think that ghosts are causing trouble and have used their abilities to get the key.

Therefore, it is worth pondering that the key was sent to Hattori Heiji by the murderer.

There are too many implications in this. If nothing else, it at least proves that the prisoner has the ability to get the key to the deceased's home.

For this alone, either the prisoner has great powers or this letter was sent by an insider.

The amount of information is so large that they can’t help but read it carefully.

"Since the invitation has been sent to you, with your personality you will definitely go, right?"

Karasawa looked at Hattori Heiji and asked curiously: "What happened after that?"

"There can't really be ghosts, right?" Xiaolan hugged He Yedao in fear.

"No." Seeing that his best friend was so afraid, Heye smiled and said with relief, "Actually, I was the one who went there that day."

"Eh? With Ye-chan?" Xiaolan looked at her best friend in surprise and said in disbelief: "Go to that haunted house?"

You must know that it is not her turn to go to this situation. Not to mention that she is afraid of ghosts, and with Hattori Heiji's character, it is impossible for him to leave the investigation of the case and let him go.

"Well, regarding this point, I originally wanted to reveal the true identity of that "ghost", but I didn't expect that I caught a cold that day."

When Hattori Heiji said this, he laughed and scratched his head: "Who knew that I accidentally caught a cold that day.

Then He Ye didn't even discuss it with me. He took the key and went to the mansion on his own initiative. "

"There's nothing I can do. Who made you sick that day? I'm afraid you'll lose the clue." He Ye said angrily.

But even though he said so on the surface, he was actually a timid person who overcame his fear to investigate for his lover. Everyone felt the affection in the other person's words.

"He Ye, you are so awesome. If it were me, I would definitely not dare to go." Xiaolan exclaimed.

"No, I even asked three friends to go with me at that time."

Yuan Shan and Ye waved their hands in embarrassment and explained: "Because they said this was like a game of courage, they agreed easily.

The four of us went to the mansion together. "
