Conan Moslin

Oh sorry, he was so negative in his thinking.

After all, Uncle Maori doesn’t seem to know his identity yet.

However, if there is anyone here who might doubt his identity...

Conan looked at Hattori Heiji who was still persistently asking about Kudo Shinichi's whereabouts not far away.

"Ms. Kuriyasu, I got some interesting news from my father..." Hattori Heiji was frank and told the source of the news directly, "I'm quite curious, you and Kudo Shinichi have been in contact, why did you hide it from me before?"

Although he tried to keep his voice low, he couldn't hide the inquiry in his tone: "What case is he working on recently that has made everyone related to him silent?"

Li An actually guessed that the question he was going to ask was nothing more than the matter of Kudo Shinichi.

"Do you want to ask about the case he's working on? Or where he's going?"

"Of course what I want to ask is..." Hattori Heiji said without hesitation, "Of course I want to know everything!"

Ever since Kudo Shinichi left without saying goodbye, Hattori Heiji has not found any active news about this detective who is as famous as him.

It's just like--

It was as if all traces of his presence had been deliberately erased by someone.

The less news there is, the more curious people become.

What's more, there is something very wrong with this matter itself.

Hattori Heiji's strong curiosity made him sign up for the Sherlock Holmes tour group, but he didn't find the person he was looking for.

Even though he was right in front of him.

Of course, Li An heard Hattori's answer. She withdrew her gaze from meeting Toda Maria, and continued to walk slowly forward with her luggage, while slowly asking the next question: "Whatever you want to ask, Hattori-kun, why do you think I know where he is?"

"It's because of you..." Hattori Heiji obviously had some guesses about this matter, and answered without hesitation, "You showed up at a very coincidental time."

"You returned to the country about a week before Kudo Shinichi disappeared. It was reported on TV, so I don't need to check it out specifically."

"After that, I saw the news about him cracking the roller coaster incident in the newspaper, but after that, 'Kudo Shinichi' disappeared completely."

He was right, it was indeed a coincidence.

Li An did not refute this, after all, it was a fact.

——But such a time difference doesn’t mean anything at all.

Conan, who already felt something was wrong behind him, broke away from Ms. Maria Toda's hand, rushed to Li An with the documents in his hand, and directly interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Sister Li An! Where is our room?!"

Li An consciously changed the subject.

"In the third room inside. Ms. Iwai said that room has three beds."

"I understand!" Conan nodded heavily and joined the group chat of Li An and Hattori. "Then Sister Li An, what were you talking about just now?"

"What are you talking about?" Li An glanced at Conan nonchalantly, "Some guy threw some things to me for some reason, which led to Mr. Hattori suspecting that I had a connection with him."

Conan: ...

sorry! ! !

"I don't know where Shinichi-san is handling the case. I remember that Xiaolan-san often contacted him by phone, but she always used a phone booth..."

"Using a phone booth? He also used a phone booth last time... He should have a cell phone, right?" Hattori Heiji immediately grasped a clue, "Does Ms. Kuriyasu have his cell phone number?"

Li An stretched out his voice: "Well——"

Conan: Oh no, it seems like he has dug his own grave.

Of course the mobile phone number cannot be given out, and if anyone should give it, it should be "Kudo Shinichi" himself.

So Li An refused this matter very straightforwardly: "No."

No, that means yes?

Just as Hattori Heiji was about to continue asking, he heard Li An continue, "The connection between these two things is not strong enough. You haven't convinced me."

She waited for a while and found that Ai, who had been talking to Ms. Maria, had not caught up yet. She turned around and continued the previous topic with Hattori: "And then? What other clues did you find?"

"The second point is..."

Hattori Heiji didn't react at all. From the beginning, Kuroba Kuriyasu had taken the initiative in the topic, but he obediently told her the whole process of his reasoning.

At this point the focus of the conversation had already shifted from him asking to him answering.

But that's how detectives are. If they can't convince everyone, they can't bring the other party to justice.

"It was also a coincidence that the last time you went to Mr. Maori's office was after I met that little girl."

"That day you were wearing the boys' uniform of Teitan High School. When you explained the situation to the police officer later, you also said that it was a special situation that forced you to change clothes. Your home is not far away, so why did you still rush here?"

"…Just because the child is sick?" Hattori Heiji held down Conan's head and said firmly, "I don't think that's the case."

"You've clearly been keeping an eye on Kudo Shinichi's situation."

"You and Miss Xiaolan both said that you didn't know where he was, but you kept a close eye on everyone who came to Kudo Shinichi's house."

"Plus, he handed the case over to you, which makes me have to speculate--" he said seriously, "what kind of consensus you and Kudo Shinichi reached."

Li An put his luggage against the door of his room and clapped his hands: "You make sense."

"So you admit it?"

Hattori Heiji's eyes were filled with joy, and he felt that he was one step closer to the truth.

Li An changed the subject: "What is there to admit or not admit? You have reasoned this far, can't you also infer that we can't find others?"

Hattori Heiji: Hiss...it seems to make sense.

Conan: It's actually back?

Li An took out the bedroom key that Manager Jingu had just distributed, confirmed the room number and opened the door.

There is a small living room at the entrance, which is simply decorated. There is no TV or air conditioning, no potted plants or hanging paintings.

There was only a wooden table and four wooden chairs in the middle of the plain white wall, and a surveillance camera installed in the corner.

Li An pushed open the doors of the two bedrooms.

This is a family room with one bedroom, one large and one small. The large one has a double bed, while the small one has only one bed.

She briefly checked the direction of the extended wires of the bedroom camera and the position of the display light on the machine, and quickly confirmed that it was not turned on at all. Then she pulled the luggage into the room with confidence and called Ai and Conan in.

After both children entered the door, she said to the guy who was still standing at the door: "Mr. Hattori Heiji, including the last incident, Mr. Kudo Shinichi and I have met no more than five times in total. You are definitely asking the wrong person."

"Instead of looking for me again and again, why don't you continue to check it yourself."

Seeing that Hattori still wanted to ask something, Kurian said good night very straightforwardly.

"It's late at night, please go to bed early."

It seemed that he would not be able to ask anything tonight.

Hattori Heiji looked at Li An with some reluctance, and finally turned and left.

Throw down a word before leaving.

"I won't give up."
