A few minutes later.

After receiving the call, Mouri Kogoro and others arrived at lawyer Ito's home ahead of the ambulance and police.

"For... to get an autograph?!"

Looking at Ye Gengyi who was chatting with a certain tool over there, Conan's face was full of disbelief.

"Anyway, that's what I heard on the ceiling, but Kudo..." Hattori Heiji said with half-moon eyes: "I always thought that you would be the first person to discover that I am imprisoned here."

"Please, even if I thought Attorney Ito was suspicious, I wouldn't have guessed that you were here!" Conan was also very depressed.

During this period, he wanted to take the opportunity to run back and investigate, but Xiaolan looked too closely.

"Then tell me why you concealed the clues about the shoe prints even after Genichi told you about the conflict between cat hair and formal wear..." Hattori Heiji continued, "Kudo, I'm so disappointed in you.

Already."

"Hey, hey, is this the proper tone for a person who is in danger for letting everyone else go?"

Conan was ashamed: "And I also said that I wanted to be with him, but I was rejected."

"Tsk tsk... This is also reasonable," Hattori Heiji teased: "After all, in the eyes of others, you are just a little brat who only knows how to smell shit... Ke Nan, little brother~"

"..."

A certain detective with half-moon eyes did not argue, but silently raised his watch-shaped tranquilizer gun.

"Ahem...wait a minute, wait a minute," Hattori Heiji waved his hands quickly and whispered: "Actually, this is also a good thing. The more he treats you like a child, the safer your true identity will be."

"Yeah, if someone doesn't always bluster in front of me..."

"Oh, don't be so stingy. After all, when I was handcuffed on the ceiling, all I thought about was you coming to save me." Hattori Heiji smiled and patted a certain detective on the shoulder.

"hehe..."

Conan laughed dryly.

"By the way, what do you think Genichi-san thinks of Kudo Shinichi?" After the joke, Hattori Heiji lowered his voice and talked about business.

"What the hell are you talking about? Kudo Shinichi is me!" Conan looked at the injuries on the dark-skinned face in surprise, wondering if this guy had hit his head.

"Idiot, of course I know, by the way..." Hattori Heiji squinted at him and reminded: "You are Edogawa Conan now."

"Uh...you mean..."

"That's right, I was just asking Saraichi-san, what is your impression of Kudo Shinichi in daily life?" Hattori Heiji asked.

"How could I possibly know this?"

Conan looked helpless:

"He usually lives at the doctor's house. The two scientists get together and stay in the basement all day doing research. Speaking of which, even the yawning girl is willing to be defeated, but..."

He hesitated for a moment and then said: "I remember the doctor told me about something some time ago. After he accidentally called the name 'Xinyi', Brother Gengyi didn't have any other reaction, but he still asked casually.

I said, 'Isn't Kudo Shinichi already dead?'"

"What? Did he really say that?" Hearing this, Hattori Heiji frowned, "According to rumors, aren't you supposed to solve cases across the country?"

"That's just what the police say internally."

Conan lowered his voice and said:

"Because I occasionally use my original voice to call the Megure Police Department. However, due to the lack of exposure and the fact that I have not actually gone around the country to solve crimes, in the eyes of most people, Kudo Shinichi

Either he disappeared or he was killed."

"So that's it..." Hattori Heiji muttered.

"Yeah, I think Brother Geng probably heard the rumors from somewhere," Conan analyzed: "After all, my home is next to Dr. Ali. Although that guy seems to be indifferent to everything on weekdays, if he even has neighbors,

No one understands it, that’s too abnormal.”

"So... when Brother Genichi found out that his neighbor was 'Kudo Shinichi', he had no other reaction except that sigh." Hattori Heiji asked.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Conan was alert.

"Have you ever considered telling him your true identity?" Hattori Heiji asked.

"Hey! Don't mess around!" Conan quickly stopped him: "Brother Gengyi still has many secrets in his body. Moreover, even if he has nothing to do with that organization, do you think it's appropriate to drag people into this for no reason?

"

"I knew you would have such a violent reaction. Back then I..." Hattori Heiji sighed, suddenly hesitated for a moment and asked: "By the way Kudo, what do you think of Saradagi-san's reasoning ability?"

"No need to ask, of course he is very strong, but his character is really a bit..." Conan thought and recounted what happened at the Toto Kokugikan yesterday.

"Uh...you mean he just ignored it because someone interrupted his reasoning?" Hattori Heiji opened his mouth slightly.

Isn't this too...willful?

"However, we really don't have substantive evidence." Conan said.

"So...how's the case?"

"The murderer confessed, he is Mr. Ushigome."

Conan said:

"This morning, I called Officer Takagi in Uncle Mouri's voice. However, the police only found the mask stained with the blood of the deceased on Mr. Ushigome's body. However, the murder weapon also included the werewolf mask and clothes he wore when he killed.

It was not found in the restroom of the venue."

"Uh..." Hattori Heiji continued to think.

"So...what exactly are you going to say?" Conan said with half-moon eyes.

"Since we all know that Sarada-san has a strong ability to solve crimes, why didn't he find out that you are Kudo Shinichi?" Hattori Heiji wondered: "And the little lady who lives in Dr. Agasa's house, you two

No matter how you look at it, he is not an ordinary primary school student, right?"

"...I really understand this."

When Conan talked about this, his expression was a little weird: "Because that guy has been a genius since he was a child, so I think it is nothing new for a 7-year-old child to have this kind of IQ."

Well...

This time, Hattori Heiji was silent again.

When he heard that Ye Gengyi suspected that Kudou Shinichi was dead, he had almost given up on revising the plan for the Emperor Dan Garden Party.

But... Kudo, this guy, seems to always increase his confidence inexplicably.

"Last question," Hattori Heiji said with a solemn expression, "Do you think Saradagi-san has already guessed that you are Kudo Shinichi, but for some reason he didn't say it out loud?"

"Uh..." Conan did not answer directly. After a moment of silence, he asked: "What could be the reason?"

"Are you asking me?" Hattori Heiji squinted at a primary school student.

"Isn't there someone who claims to be the best high school detective in the West?"

"It sounds like you're not from the East."

"Of course it's different."

"What's different?" Hattori Heiji was surprised.

It's strange. Could it be that after being abused by Brother Gengyi for a while, this kid actually learned to be humble?

"My ranking as No. 1 in the Eastern Conference is not self-proclaimed, it is recognized." Conan said.

Hattori Heiji: "..."
