Chapter 117 Give me a little blood, just a little bit
Seeing the cat huddled motionless on the windowsill, Hattori Heiji originally thought that putting the cat into a bag would be as simple as putting cabbage into a vegetable bag.
Who wanted to open the window and just stretched out his hand, the cat suddenly climbed up his shoulder along his arm with a speed like dragging out a dark shadow, and then jumped to the little Maori who was squatting by the cupboard to check.
Wulang jumped to the door of the room with two people on his back, then stopped, turned around and looked at the people in the room coldly.
"Haha, it seems to know how to protect the crime scene." Mao Lilan's vision caught up with the speed of the black cat. She walked to the door and squatted down, took out her handkerchief, and tentatively stretched out her hand towards the cat.
Conan was worried that she would be scratched, but the cat was not as quick as before.
It looked at the handkerchief Mao Lilan was holding, then cooperatively raised her hand and put it on her palm, asking her to help wipe off the mud on her paw pads.
Mao Lilan gently held the cat's paw, her eyes brightened. While wiping one paw and switching to the other, she couldn't help but reach out and touch the cat's head.
The black cat seemed reluctant, but he didn't run away. He lowered his head and touched her twice before pushing her hand away again.
"So tame, not quite like a wild cat."
Conan squatted nearby and observed for a while, then raised his head and asked Ikemura Koe: "Auntie, is this your cat?" Since it appeared at the crime scene, maybe it will have something to do with the murder...
"Tame?" Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes and patted the muddy claw marks on his clothes, disagreeing with this adjective.
Ikemura Gongjiang shook his head: "My father-in-law likes fish very much, so he doesn't have a cat at home. There are some in the neighbor's house, but they are all breed cats, not this... this kind of ordinary cat."
"Then he was thrown away. It's so miserable." Hattori Heiji suddenly thought of something, "But there are so many black cats here. There are raccoon cats and orange cats near my house. Do stray cats also have geographical differences..."
"Is there a lot?" After being played with by the cat for a while, Mao Lilan's heavy mood gradually improved, and she liked the black skin who was about to compete with Kudo Shinichi. She casually continued, "I haven't seen it before.
ah."
"That's because you didn't pay attention. There is one downstairs in your house. I saw it as soon as I went there." Hattori Heiji snorted disdainfully.
These words made Conan suddenly think of something.
Because of the peculiar code name of Black Cat, Conan will inevitably think of him every time he sees a black cat.
He has indeed seen a black stray cat not many times. The last time he saw it was under the surveillance of the police station. As a result, subsequent events proved that the black cat was really present that time...
No, you can't think so. Stray cats are so common, and it's normal to encounter a black one occasionally.
...But my intuition still told Conan that there might be some connection here.
——Looking at the way the black cat cooperated in front of Mao Lilan, and then thinking about its deceptive behavior of opening the window just now, Conan always felt that this cat was too smart, which reminded him of the same cat next to the black cat on the Shinkansen.
A very smart fox.
So while Mao Lilan went to rinse the handkerchief, Conan approached alertly, wanting to see if there was a listening device on the cat.
Although it does not have a collar or tag at first glance, the cat's hair is relatively long. Shiraishi and Black Cat have some unique black technology. Maybe they have some kind of mini bug that can be installed on the cat to collect information.
With this thought in mind, Conan stretched out his hand towards the cat.
Before he could touch him, a cat's paw accurately stopped in front of his hand, and its sharp nails popped out. It didn't scratch anyone, but it hung in the air, full of threats.
"..." Conan was stunned. This cat really looks like a black cat! Also, it clearly didn't have this attitude when facing Xiaolan just now!
Does he look like his master? But the fox he met last time was obviously very gentle and cute.
Conan took back his hand and pondered for a moment, his curiosity becoming more and more intense.
He finally decided to take the risk of getting a rabies vaccination for a while and check if there were any bugs. However, at this moment, there was a sudden chaotic noise on the stairs - the Memu Police Department led a group of police officers and made a high-profile appearance.
Conan glanced back, and when he turned back, his eyes were empty. The cat had slipped to the top of the bookshelf, which was out of his reach.
Looking up at the cat, Conan had to give up temporarily and ran to the police to see if they could find any new clues.
Facing a group of police officers, Hattori Heiji did not show any stage fright. He told the story of his previous findings as if he was used to it.
Hearing the name "Hattori Heiji", the Megure Police Department quickly remembered that this was actually a second-generation official - the son of the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.
Although he was dissatisfied with a kid from out of town intervening in the case, the deceased was a councilman after all, and Megure's former good helper Handou was not around. In order to solve the case, he could only listen to what Hattori Heiji said.
After questioning Mr. Chicun, the police learned that there were only two sets of keys to the study. One was in Mr. Chicun's possession, and the other was actually found in the deceased's trouser pocket.
Combined with the locked doors and windows, the case suddenly turned into a complicated secret room murder case.
The time of Isao Ikemura's death was probably within thirty minutes of the arrival of Mori and his party, and the Megure Police Department began to investigate the alibi accordingly.
Conan followed and listened. After a few minutes, his tinnitus gradually became worse. The cold symptoms that had been suppressed by Lao Baigan also resurfaced, and he even began to have ghost images in front of his eyes.
Adhering to the crime-solving spirit of never leaving the line of fire even if he was slightly injured, Conan remained silent. After seeing a gap in the middle of the keychain with double vision in his eyes, he finally smiled weakly and figured out the meaning of the "secret room"
Cause.
At the same time, Hattori Heiji also showed an expression of sudden realization and rushed out of the door.
Conan originally wanted to find a "spokesperson" to tell his speculation this time, but as soon as he touched the watch, he felt violent dizziness and fell to the ground.
His body no longer obeyed, but Conan still had a little bit of consciousness. In a daze, he saw a black shadow fall to the ground in front of him and circle around him twice.
Mao Lilan also noticed something was wrong immediately. She ran over and touched Conan's forehead, and was startled by the hot temperature.
Ikemura Koe immediately called the family doctor to come to help. The Ikemura family's son also lent his room to Conan.
Bai Shi looked at Mao Lilan's back as he rushed out the door with Conan in his arms, and followed him quietly.
He remembered that in this case, Conan briefly transformed into Kudo Shinichi due to the dual effects of a cold and Lao Baigan.
Speaking of "returning to Kudo Shinichi", one has to think of APTX4869. When talking about APTX4869, one cannot help but think of the 250,000 yen he handed over...
Hongye looked like she would not give up until she reached her goal. Rather than asking her to give up her research, it would be better to get some Conan's blood back. This might speed up the research process, end the project earlier, and save some money...
On the way, Shiraishi glanced at the screen and saw no mission like "rescuing a famous detective who drank indiscriminately and died accidentally."
Shiraishi noted the room where Conan was, then he ran to the living room and found the Ikemura family's medical kit.
When passing by the parlor on the way, Shiraishi saw Hattori Heiji digging through the trash can inside. In order to solve the case, these young people really worked hard...
Each family's medical kit is different. Because the Ikemura family has a dedicated private doctor, the kit has a complete range of items.
Shiraishi closed the door, turned back into a human, and took out a syringe.
Before going out, he thought about it and took a cod liver oil capsule from the place where health products were stored.
