Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 310 309 Hattori Heiji's love for Conan
Gao Mushe hurriedly grabbed Officer Megure, who was so excited by Sano that he almost ran away: "Calm down, calm down, Officer Megure, we are handling the case now!"

"..."

Looking at the small brown ball struggling in Takagi Tsubasa's arms, Sano ignored the strange gazes of Toyama and Ye, and lit a cigarette for himself as if nothing had happened.

It was as if the culprit who caused Police Officer Megure to collapse was not Sano at all.

...It wasn't until a while later that the scene calmed down.

It's just that because the disheartened police officer Mugure ran to the side and squatted to draw circles, Takagi Tsubasa could only temporarily assume the command work.

"Uh, that..."

After laughing a few times at the relevant personnel at the scene, Takagi still felt that the cause of death should be determined first.

"...It should be potassium cyanate."

Hattori Heiji, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, saw that the investigation had finally started, and immediately jumped out, chattering a lot of analysis, nothing more than saying that the cause of Urata Kohei's death must be potassium cyanate poisoned.

... Having said that, among the cases caused by the aura of Conan, the god of plague, it seems that there have been many cases where people were killed by poisoning.

What kind of poison was used in the previous ones?

...I seem to have forgotten.

Forget it, they are all indifferent things. Anyway, as long as it is a case that can be encountered by him, there will be at least a detective like Conan who is not outrageous. It is enough for such trivial matters to be handled by a tool person.

Sano, who was determined not to learn these basic knowledge, stopped thinking about it, but focused on Hattori Heiji, who took off his hat after being questioned about his identity.

"...What are you talking about? It's just that I haven't seen you for a while, have you already forgotten me?"

Hattori Heiji smiled: "It's me, Kudo Shinichi."

"..."

After a short period of silence, there was a sudden burst of exclamation.

... This kid, is he actually thinking about it?
Sano, who was also surprised, finally understood why Hattori Heiji's skin became so white. It turned out that he wanted to get rid of Conan's troubles.

It's just... With this guy's black skin, how much putty has to be applied to his face to become so white, don't you feel uncomfortable?
For Conan, are you willing to suffer so much?

For a moment, music seemed to ring in Sano's ears—if this isn't love, then what is it...

"...What are you doing, Heiji?"

But when the audience was shocked, Yuan Shan and Ye suddenly inserted between Hattori Heiji and Mori Ran, and wiped off a little foundation on each other's face with their hands.

"What did you put on your face?"

"He, and Ye!?"

Hattori Heiji never expected that his childhood sweetheart would be here, and he exposed himself in a flash. Originally, he wanted to make a final struggle, but it was a pity that the matter had been completely exposed, and everyone else could see that he was not Kudo Shinichi, who had no choice but to wipe off the putty on his face, laughed and said that he was just joking with everyone.

"But having said that, after this guy turned his face white, he does look quite similar to that guy Shinichi."

Sano glanced at Sonoko Suzuki who came to him at some point: "The good-looking ones are generally similar, but the ugly ones all have their own characteristics."

Suzuki Sonoko blinked, pointed at herself with a smile and said, "Then I look a lot like Xiaolan, senior?"

"There are indeed some facial features."

Sano responded casually, causing Suzuki Sonoko to laugh even more silly after being taken aback for a moment.

But there is one thing to say, the similarity between Hattori Heiji and Kudo Shinichi in terms of body shape and facial features seems to be too high.

Although it can't be said that Kaito Kuroba is almost the same as Kudo Shinichi's twin brother, he looks exactly the same, but after turning white, it is really easy to confuse this guy with Kudo Shinichi at first glance.

That is to say, there are childhood sweethearts like Hattori Heiji like Toyama and Ye, otherwise they could have been fooled by Mao Lilan's reaction just now.

...provided the guy doesn't open his mouth.

After a small episode, the case got back on track.

The general situation and context are gradually emerging.

There are a total of three people who watched the play with Urata Kohei, namely——

There are two short-haired women, one named Noda, with brown curly hair and more delicately dressed, the other named Mai, who has black hair and is relatively plainly dressed, and then there is a fat man named Sangu.

These three people and the deceased were all classmates of Didan High School, and they all joined the drama club.

Therefore, it has become a tradition for the four of them to form a team to watch dramas every year.

And the place that was identified as poisoning was the drink next to the dead body... Strictly speaking, it was iced coffee.

Therefore, the suspects of poisoning are these three people.

The situation at that time was that the four were sitting in the same row, from outside to inside, Mai, Mitani, Noda, and Urata Kohei.

The drinks for the four of them were bought by Mai Yi alone, and she went to the bathroom after giving it to Sangu, and then Sangu brought the iced coffee to Noda, and Noda passed it on to the deceased.

In addition, Wu Yi also mentioned that when she went to buy a drink, the deceased had gone to her, and seemed to be worried that she would not be able to get it alone, and wanted to help.

But for some unknown reason, the deceased suddenly left with a blue face.

"... walked away with a blue face, did he see something?"

Mouri Kogoro had just raised a question when another voice intervened: "I think he must have seen me."

Several people followed the sound and found that it was a girl wearing Didan High School uniform.

"Ayako?"

Wu Yi's surprised voice showed that the other party was not just an ordinary passerby.

...It turned out that Caizi was the daughter of the director of the Mihua General Hospital where they worked, and she was also the one who was responsible for refilling drinks for the group of four.

"That is to say, you are the one who can poison the drink, right?"

Mori Kogoro frowned and began to make his own reasoning, questioning the few people who might have poisoned him, but unfortunately they were all beaten back with their own excuses.

So far, a new suspect has been added to the case, and it has temporarily stalled.

It wasn't until a while later that Takagi took out the creamer and syrup that hadn't been torn apart from the dead man's body pocket, and the case started to slowly advance again.

"...Mr. Urata usually likes black coffee when drinking coffee."

Police officer Megure, who was finally resurrected, asked.

"No, I remember that he usually puts creamer and syrup in his coffee."

Noda replied.

"This is a bit strange..."

Without waiting for Police Officer Megure to think about it, Caizi cut into the topic and said, "Well, it may be because he found out that I replaced his coffee with Coke, so he didn't put these in."

"what?"

Under Caizi's explanation, the context of the case has extended a bit.

In fact, there was originally a marriage contract between Caizi and the deceased, but because of the uneasiness in her heart, she called the deceased and said that she would cancel the engagement.

Since then, every time he went to the hospital, the deceased deliberately avoided Cai Zi.

So Caizi deliberately replaced the coffee of the deceased with Coke, in order to make the other party angry, so she came to her.

Hearing this, Wu Yi immediately took out the syrup and creamer in his pocket: "So it's like this, I just said how good coffee turned into Coke."

"...In other words, did the deceased discover that the drink in his glass was actually Coke, so he didn't put the creamer and syrup in it?"

Officer Mu Mu touched his chin, and asked Takagi She: "Have you not come out with the results of the identification of the four cups of drinks?"

"It should be soon."

After nodding his head, Officer Mu Mu stopped talking and quietly waited for the next step.

After a while, the forensic results finally came out.

"In the cups of the four drinks, as well as in the creamer and syrup, nothing was wrong."
