Chapter 165-164- The murderer came to the door
After the hour of indecent banter.
Hattori Heiji quickly entered the state of reasoning and began to show the acumen that a detective should have.
Based on the conversation between Xiaolan and Shinichi just now, he deduces that Kudo Shinichi is hiding nearby, a place where Xiaolan can be noticed at any time.
When saying this reasoning, Hattori Heiji was also vaguely paying attention to Shirakawa Yuu's reaction.
Because, there is still a second half of his reasoning that he didn't say——
That is Kudo who disappeared mysteriously, the reason why he knows Xiaolan's behavior like the back of his hand.
It was because he sent an informant to visit the Maoli family from time to time, and then learned everything through the informant.
Of course, as for the identity of the informant...
Hattori Heiji set his sights on Shirakawa Yuu.
He suspected it was this man.
From the chat just now, he learned that the relationship between Bai Chuanyou and the Mori family was neither too familiar nor too familiar.
Probably more than a stranger, but less than a close friend.
This kind of person with a low sense of presence is the most convenient informant.
The mode of action is natural and will not be suspected.
Besides.
This guy seems to have a good relationship with that glasses kid.
Maybe it was for the sake of clichés from children?
The more Hattori Heiji thought about it, the more certain he was.
There are also various strengths displayed by the other party in the alley, and after the meeting, the slight hostility shown towards him, the "detective investigating Kudo"...
Simply the perfect correct answer.
This man definitely has a connection with Kudo and knows where Kudo is now.
And the other side.
When Hattori Heiji suspected Shirakawa Yu, Conan was also raising his spirits and looking at Hattori.
How could this black man who appeared suddenly be able to deduce this possibility with only some superficial information?
Although reasoning himself as an idiot is quite different from the truth.
...But it is undeniable that Hattori Heiji's reasoning direction is correct. He is a detective character with some brains and some ink in his stomach.
Conan blew his nose, and at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I have already learned all the identity information of Hattori Heiji from Shirakawa Yu, so I can be sure that the other party is not a suspicious person.
Otherwise, in the absence of information.
Now, I will probably panic and associate Hattori Heiji as a member of that organization, right?
After all, the color of that organization is crow black...
Wait, something seems wrong...?
Conan froze slightly, then stared at Hattori Heiji's complexion, and then laughed unkindly.
In short.
It is really helpful to have an intelligence merchant by your side.
Directly avoid a lot of unnecessary doubts in yourself.
...If things go on like this, it seems that I can ask Bai Chuanyu to help me find out, the guy who wrote the prophecy about himself—Kaito Kuroba?
For information merchants, this kind of thing should be easy to do, right?
Thinking of this, Conan raised his head to look at Bai Chuanyu, and felt a wave of kindness from the other party in a rare way.
However, under Conan's gaze at this time, Bai Chuanyu didn't feel very good.
Although I don't know what the Heitan guy Hattori is thinking, but judging from the suspicious expression of the other party, he is probably being targeted by this kid.
Hattori Heiji didn't care about the past at this time.
Politely put on the honorifics, and asked Shirakawa Yu:
"Mr. Bai Chuan, I didn't mean to offend just now... I was curious about the facts about Kudo, so I asked directly."
"...Do you know the whereabouts of Kudo Shinichi?"
When asked this question, he basically knew the correct answer in his mind.
It's just that I want to test it with questions and see Bai Chuanyu's reaction.
Hearing Hattori Heiji's crucial question, Conan subconsciously tightened his expression, nervous about how Shirakawa Yuu would respond.
Unexpectedly, Bai Chuan paused, smiled and said:
"As for Kudo, I seem to have heard Conan tell me."
"Conan?" Hattori Heiji was taken aback.
"It's the kid who was tricked by you into drinking Baigan just now."
"...He is a distant relative of Kudou, who occasionally talks to me about him."
Hearing this, Hattori Heiji let out an "oh", pinched his chin and looked at Conan who was depressed.
The latter's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Bai Chuanyou to directly confess himself backhandedly.
Can this still be a good teammate?
Did you agree not to disclose the information to anyone?
Conan was a little depressed.
However, after Hattori Heiji looked at Conan solemnly for a moment, he suddenly laughed and turned out the dead fish eyes:
"Are you kidding me, a child, how could he know where that guy Kudo is."
"...Mr. Bai Chuan doesn't know, it's fine, there's no need to use this to prevaricate me."
"..."
Bai Chuanyu didn't speak at this time, but just shrugged noncommittally, with a look of "believe it or not".
Anyway, almost half of what I said was true.
If the black charcoal boy in front of him is not willing to believe it, then it has nothing to do with him.
Just as he finished dealing with Hattori Heiji's question, there were soft footsteps in the corridor.
Bai Chuanyou hurriedly used this to change the subject: "It seems that a client is here."
With that said, he walked to the door unhurriedly and opened it.
Outside the door, a well-dressed middle-aged woman was reaching out her hand and was about to knock on the door.
Seeing the door open, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
When a client came to the door, Hattori Heiji couldn't continue talking about Kudo, so he could only shut his mouth resentfully.
Mori Kogoro wrinkled his mustache, and glanced at the client in a sophisticated manner.
Seeing his outstanding temperament, well-dressed clothes and expensive jewelry, he immediately greeted him with a smile, and waved for Xiaolan to make tea.
Xiaolan nodded and was about to leave when she saw Bai Chuanyu had entered the kitchen and skillfully started making tea.
"Let me help with this little thing."
Bai Chuanyu grinned brightly.
"...Actually, I'm also quite curious about Mr. Mori's working process, whether it's for writing or collecting materials, can you let me watch it together?"
"..."
When Xiaolan heard this, she looked at Kogoro hesitantly.
The latter nodded without thinking, expressing his agreement - he had a good impression of Bai Chuanyu, so as long as the client didn't mind this small request, he would naturally not mind it either.
Seeing this scene, Conan couldn't help looking at Bai Chuanyu.
What is this guy thinking?
Don't tell him what to draw...
The intelligence merchant has contacted many more clients than the detective, right?
I complained in my heart.
Without waiting for Conan to think about it, the client began to slowly describe the contents of the commission.
After a simple explanation, everyone quickly figured it out.
The middle-aged woman is called Tsujimura Koe, and she is the wife of a diplomat.
She wanted to invite Mori Kogoro to investigate the girlfriend her son was dating, as if she was looking for the other person's dislike and wanted to find the other person's weakness.
Bai Chuanyu listened to it incessantly.
This kind of investigation work should be regarded as his specialty, right?
Gathering intelligence, collecting opponents' weaknesses, etc., if he comes, the efficiency will be at least three times higher than that of Kogoro, no... five times.
However, the words speak again.
Even if I really accepted the commission from Ms. Koe Tsujimura, I probably wouldn't get a penny of the commission.
To say why...
Bai Chuanyou narrowed his eyes, activated the [Analysis] ability, and quietly watched the poisonous needle hidden in her clothes.
——It is coated with a layer of evenly distributed neurotoxin, which is colorless and odorless. If it sticks into the human body, it can almost kill you instantly.
The drunkard doesn't mean wine.
The investigation commissioned by the other party was simply a cover.
As Bai Chuanyu expected.
Koe Tsujimura was planning to kill her husband next.
He took the initiative to ask a detective to entrust him with him, in order to serve as a witness and clear himself of suspicion.
This wave, this wave is a classic proof question sent to the door by the murderer.
……
Almost missed and scared the hell out of me
