Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Chapter 70: Detective Competition with Childhood Friends

But even so, Hattori Heiji was still unwilling to admit that Lin Xuan's reasoning ability was better than his.

As he walked down the stairs, he said to Conan beside him:

"Kudo, I think Lin Xuan just got lucky and guessed right once. I will definitely find the murderer before he does!"

It would be more like he was comforting himself rather than asking Conan for advice.

Conan really wanted to agree, but the experience of being suppressed by Lin Xuan time and time again made his throat extremely dry.

Soon, the two came downstairs.

The scene of He Ye and Xiao Lan fighting for the item came into their eyes. When had their childhood sweethearts ever done such an intimate thing to them?

Not to mention that the female high school students were hugging each of their arms, and the person in close physical contact with was Lin Xuan, who had stolen their detective limelight!

"Hey, Hattori! Let's compete again when there's a chance." Conan suggested first.

Hattori nodded with a gloomy face and said, "Well, that's exactly what I meant. Let's cooperate this time and find out the truth before the pretty boy does."

Ever since the two met, the famous high school detectives representing Kanto and Kansai have been unwilling to admit defeat to each other. Hattori and Kudo both wanted to find a case to prove that their reasoning abilities were better than the other's.

But facing Lin Xuan, they had to put aside their desire to win and cooperate in investigating the case.

Of course, Conan also began to try to stop Xiaolan and Lin Xuan from continuing to have close contact, "Ah he he...", the shrunken famous detective held his throat and tried to use the same trick to attract Sister Lan's attention.

But even if Conan didn't do this, Lin Xuan would be able to escape from the double-sided situation because the real suspicious person appeared.

[What? Even you were killed? ]

[Who did this? Could it be the congressman? ]

[No, it's impossible! If that matter were to be exposed, the congressman's political future would be over.]

[Everyone regrets the tragedy that happened 20 years ago, but misfortune still befell us. Will I be the next one to die? ]

There was a fat lady in the crowd, and she looked extremely terrified. The old lady’s thoughts made Lin Xuan realize that she was at least an insider of the case!

The fat lady became more and more frightened. She turned around and staggered away.

Lin Xuan immediately whispered to the two female high school students:

"There's someone who feels suspicious, and I have questions for her."

After all, Xiaolan is the daughter of a former criminal policeman and current detective, and Kazuya's father is the criminal director of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters. Upon hearing this, they immediately let go of Lin Xuan's arms.

Lin Xuan chased after the fat lady, but she had already gotten into the car. After adjusting the mirror, she stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Lin Xuan took out his cell phone and took a picture of the car model and license plate.

Officer Otaki caught up with us and asked:

"Brother Lin Xuan, have you discovered anything?"

Lin Xuan nodded, handed the phone to Otaki and instructed:

"The old lady who just left seems suspicious. I would like to ask you to help investigate her situation."

Otaki immediately promised:

"Understood. I will inform you as soon as there is a result."

The forensic doctor and supporting criminal police arrived together to conduct further examination of the body and the scene.

Detectives like Lin Xuan, as well as Xiaolan's relatives and friends, were respectfully invited to the nearest police station to synchronize the case.

The Osaka police are under tremendous public pressure as the serial murders have not been solved for a long time, not to mention that the third body fell from the sky in the city today.

The police had to seek help from civilian detectives, especially Lin Xuan, who had repeatedly solved strange cases in Tokyo!

In the nearest police station, the chief personally synchronized the information the police had to each detective.

Kogoro couldn't help but complain while flipping through the information:

"After two weeks of investigation by so many elites in Osaka Prefecture, there was no progress. No wonder it caused public resentment."

Lin Xuan walked to the corridor silently. He was waiting for the results of Officer Otaki's investigation. The old lady who left the crime scene in panic was definitely related to the case.

Hattori Heiji also followed him out of the combat meeting room:

"Lin Xuan, I have something to tell you."

Lin Xuan turned around and signaled Osaka Black Chicken with a questioning look to just speak up if he had anything to say.

Heiji took a deep breath, as if he was going to throw away all the dignity he had since becoming a detective:

"I admit that you have strong deduction skills, but I still want to compete with you to see who is the best detective."

Lin Xuan shrugged helplessly, indicating that he had no interest in such childish ranking.

Heiji continued to speak on his own:

"How about we test who can find out the truth about this series of murders first? The stakes are my childhood sweetheart, Toyama Kazuha."

"If I win, you can't get close to He Ye anymore. If you find out the truth first, I won't care about He Ye anymore."

Hattori Heiji thinks he is very despicable.

[This is so embarrassing. How can you be called a Kansai man if you look like this?]

[Even though Kudo is helping me this time, I still pretend to be competing fairly]

[But there is no other way, Lin Xuan must be kept away from He Ye. ]

How could Lin Xuan not know what Heiji was thinking?

In fact, not only Hattori Heiji, Lin Xuan could also clearly sense another person's thoughts.

That was Toyama Kazuha hiding behind the corner of the corridor.

[What the hell! Stupid Heiji! When did I become your stake? ]

[What do you have to do with me? Why do you interfere with my pursuit of love? ]

Lin Xuan said calmly:

"I don't think you are qualified to bet on Miss Yuanshan. She is an individual with an independent personality and is definitely not a toy chip in a detective game."

Heiji knew that what he had just said was too much, but he still said it anyway:

"Shut up, idiot! Don't you dare to bet with me?"

Lin Xuan shook his head and said:

"I will help the Osaka police find out the truth and arrest the murderer, but this is not for any bet, but my responsibility as a detective."

Heiji was inspired by these words:

"Then prepare to lose to me, you pretty boy from Kanto!"

【This time, Kudo will help】

[Are the wisdom of both of us not as good as yours? ]

Even the most powerful high school detective in Kansai could not figure out that behind the corner of the corridor, Toyama Kazuha took out the amulet she had always carried with her.

"Stupid Heiji..."

He Ye cursed softly, then threw the amulet into the trash can in front of him without hesitation.

At this moment, Officer Otaki chased over from the other end of the corridor. He reported to Lin Xuan breathlessly:

"Brother Lin Xuan, I have found out everything!"

When reporting the results of the investigation, Otaki did not avoid Heiji at all, but loudly told him what he had learned.

After all, he didn't know that Heiji had taken the initiative to challenge Lin Xuan to a competition of reasoning ability.

What's more, Heiji's father is the chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters. Whenever Heiji wants to know about the case, Otaki and his colleagues have no choice but to cooperate.

It is precisely because of his outstanding reasoning ability and solid background that Hattori Heiji, a mere high school student, is able to solve numerous strange cases in Kansai.

However, Officer Otaki's investigation results are still disappointing.

"Brother Lin Xuan, uh..." Otaki felt a little embarrassed. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued:

"It has been found that Mrs. Okazaki left the crime scene, but according to the investigation, she has no connection with the three victims."
