If he had not learned about the judgment of the Komemon criminal in advance, Hattori Heiji might have stubbornly believed that there were just some details that he had not thought of, and it was not that he had checked in the wrong direction, and continued to rack his brains to improve his reasoning.
But now, comparing the two modus operandi, there are too many loopholes in my own reasoning.
The most important thing is that he can't explain if the murderer is Tsujimura Toshimitsu, why poison was detected in Mrs. Tsujimura's key ring - this is a question he has just subconsciously avoided.
Miwako Sato had a smile on her face and secretly gave a thumbs up to Shizuo Furumimon. The latter shook his head slightly in amusement, then turned to look at Kuroda Hei.
"Is that all right? Manager, if you want to continue watching some showdowns, you'll have to pay extra. After all, it's almost five o'clock and it's time to get off work. The Metropolitan Police Department never pays you any overtime pay."
Sato Miwako, who had smiled just now, instantly froze.
I finally seized the opportunity and left a good impression on my superiors, which somewhat diluted the bad sense of asking for leave, fishing, and sleeping. But this started again. Even if you have a background at home, you don't have to act so arrogant, right?
Kuroda Bie's one eye slowly turned and fell on Shizuo Komemon's sunglasses. He said nothing and his attitude was unclear.
Shizuo Komemon didn't care about his attitude and just took it as his acquiescence and ordered: "Takagi Criminal Investigation, call it a day and take Mrs. Tsujimura back to the Metropolitan Police Department."
"Ah, hi!" Takagi Wataru trembled, but he didn't hesitate, but he still secretly looked at Kuroda Hei. Seeing that the latter didn't express any objection, he followed the instructions.
They started to finish their work, and Kuroda Hei turned around and left in silence. He didn't say a few words at all today, and it was really hard to figure out what he was thinking.
However, after the administrator left, everyone relaxed a lot. The police officers whispered about this wonderful showdown and how proud they were of their own Gumeimen Criminal's victory.
In recent years, the detectives have been showing off their power over them. According to the media, the Metropolitan Police Department is a bunch of losers who only know how to get paid. This is the first time that the detectives have been defeated head-on. All the police officers are a little invigorated!
Hattori Heiji, who plays a supporting role in the background, felt a little heated listening to their discussion. Before, he thought that the other party agreed with his reasoning because he was being persuaded. Now it seems that he is just being modest...
He whispered uncomfortably, "I'm going to the bathroom." Then he left in a hurry.
"Ah, by the way, where is Conan? Did he go to the bathroom? How long has it been since he came back?" Mao Lilan thought immediately after hearing Hattori Heiji's words.
"What do you care about that kid? Can he still be lost?" Mouri Kogoro said angrily. He actually wanted to show off today, but he was never sleepy. What a pity.
"Conan has a very serious cold today, which is really worrying. I'm going to take a look." As he said this, Mao Lilan also left the study in a hurry.
Hattori Heiji, who was in front of her, walked to the bathroom door with a gloomy look, intending to go in and wash his face, sober up, and then review the case again.
Kudo Shinichi didn't show up, and the criminal in the bartender's uniform from the Metropolitan Police Department did seem to be a bit competent. Then the previous analysis and judgment based on those media reports would have to be rethought.
If the Metropolitan Police Department did not take away the credit for Detective Mori, then where was Shinichi Kudo, who was originally thought to be behind Detective Mori?
With a click, the bathroom door opened, and then... Kudo Shinichi appeared in front of him.
Moreover, there was still a hint of - well, there was still a very unfitting underwear hanging on.
"..."
"???"
"!!!"
Hattori Heiji was confused and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He wondered if he had caught a cold recently and then became dizzy. Or maybe the blow he received this time was more serious than he thought and he was hallucinating?
"Detective Hattori, is Conan inside?" Mao Lilan from behind saw Hattori Heiji entering the bathroom first, so she had to stop and ask.
Otherwise it would be a bit rude to come any closer.
"Shh... close the door quickly... don't let her see me like I am now." Kudo Shinichi, who was dripping with sweat, panting, and dizzy, said in a low voice.
He was also startled by Hattori Heiji who suddenly barged in, and almost didn't react. He was in so much pain that he forgot that the bathroom door was unlocked.
Hattori Heiji's brain was a little down, so he subconsciously followed Kudo Shinichi's words, squeezed into the small bathroom, and locked the door.
"Why do I seem to hear Shinichi's voice..." Not far from the door, Mao Lilan murmured strangely, staring at the bathroom with some suspicion, "Detective Hattori? Is Conan in there?"
"Hurry up and say I'm not here..." Kudo Shinichi quickly urged.
Hattori Heiji responded loudly and said, "I'm not here... Bah, I mean Conan isn't here."
"Aren't you here? Where did Conan go?" Mao Lilan muttered and left.
When there was no movement outside, Hattori Heiji finally realized that the current situation was really weird, and he asked in an awkward voice in a low voice: "What's going on with you? Why aren't you even wearing any clothes?"
Kudo Shinichi's face was full of resentment, "If I guess correctly, you should be the one who caused it."
"???" Hattori Heiji raised a question and immediately retorted, "That's nonsense! What does it have to do with me if you don't wear clothes?!"
"..." Kudo Shinichi was speechless. Thinking about it, he really couldn't explain it. It couldn't be said that the white wine he drank caused him to grow bigger, so he couldn't wear Conan's clothes, right?
And he didn't have much energy to get up. As soon as he regained his breath, Hattori Heiji opened the door and came in. Outside, there was Xiaolan wandering around looking for Conan.
This situation...
"Anyway, I'm going out first. She should go find that brat somewhere else..." Hattori Heiji said as his eyes fell on the only piece of clothing on Kudo Shinichi's body.
The ill-fitting size of the clothes, and the somewhat cute and childlike style...
Kudo Shinichi quickly blocked it with his hands, feeling ashamed and angry, "Are you a pervert? Where are you looking?!"
Hattori Heiji's face darkened, "Who is the pervert? You hide in the toilet without any clothes on, and then you wear children's clothes!"
"..." Kudo Shinichi blushed and was speechless.
Hattori Heiji sneered, looked Kudo Shinichi up and down, and then looked down at the torn suit and shorts.
"I've already guessed your secret."
Kudo Shin's eyes jumped, "What... do you want?"
Hattori Heiji said playfully: "What do you think I want?"
"How do I know what you want! But don't think about it if it goes too far, I won't agree!" Kudo Shinichi said resolutely.
Hattori Heiji smiled disdainfully, "It's not up to you now."
