Chapter 108 Your Jungler Dad Suddenly Appears
Kudo Shinichi stared at the black screen with his mouth open.
Is this the case? Hey hey hey, does this guy have some kind of problem that makes him feel uncomfortable when he speaks clearly?
He pressed his eyebrows and resisted the urge to call back immediately. He thought of the unfinished case in the study on the other side and immediately opened the door and walked out.
"Have you finished the phone call?" Karasawa, who was looking out with the curtains open, turned his head and looked at Kudo Shinichi, whose face was still not very good-looking, and frowned slightly, "Are you still having a fever? Your forehead is still wet Sweating.”
"It's a little bit... but it may not be just the cold, it may be something similar to the immune mechanism." Kudo Shinichi shook his head, enduring the lingering discomfort, "Let's go over there first. We can't let Hattori Heiji continue to guess."
"You go there first." Karasawa pointed to the room he just walked out of, "Theoretically, I should still be taking care of Conan, and I don't know him. Is it okay for you... to be alone? "
...That's right. If Tang Ze comes with him, he will have to run away while taking care of the child, which will easily give Xiaolan a bad idea.
It’s really difficult. What if he talks in the middle of a sentence and the effect of the liquor wears off and he becomes smaller on the spot...
Joker really likes to talk in half a sentence, but He never made any wild claims. Since he called this state a temporary recovery, it was better not to be stubborn.
Kudo Shinichi, who had some self-knowledge but not much, nodded heavily, leaving Karasawa to continue spending time in the room, walking alone through the corridor towards the study room that was crowded with people.
Halfway through, he also sent an email to joker.
【How long can this kind of recovery last? Do you know the approximate range? 】
Joker, who always replied instantly, was silent this time. He walked to the door of the study room, and Kudo Shinichi failed to receive a reply as expected.
Are you really angry? Or do you have other things to do and don’t have time to talk to him?
Kudo Shinichi, who didn't have much confidence in his heart, put away his mobile phone, took a deep breath, and stood in front of the study door.
Inside the door, Hattori Heiji's reasoning is getting better.
"It would take five or six minutes to kill the victim and then arrange him to sit at the table. No matter how fast it is, it will take five or six minutes. Mrs. Tsujimura who arrived with us cannot commit the crime..." Hattori Heiji said proudly. The fishing line used in the experimental technique just now is "in line with the fact that the neighbors chatted for an hour, and the housekeeper who did not come in with us until Mrs. Tsujimura came home is also impossible. Although Mr. Tsujimura and his fiancée briefly went to the second floor, they stayed The time is very short... After being eliminated, the biggest suspect is Mr. Tsujimura who has been staying next door to the study and watching TV!"
He pointed to Tsujimura Toshimitsu, who was sitting at the tea table with a cane and a solemn expression. .
"Grandpa..." Tsujimura Takazan looked at Tsujimura Toshimitsu in shock, "This is impossible, he has no reason..."
"Stop talking about Takayama." Tsujimura Toshimitsu patted his clothes and stood up, "The sky net is full of details, and it's true, I killed someone."
I did it! It seems that I won this time, Kudo! Hattori Heiji smiled in victory.
It's a pity that Tang Zezhao took that kid out, otherwise he would have given him a provocative look.
Why would Kudo appear because of his conceited mistake? I really don’t know where he got the confidence to make such a delusional prophecy...
“No, there’s another murderer.” Holding the door frame to catch his breath, Kudo Shinichi raised his head and interrupted. Tsujimura Toshimitsu's confession and Hattori Heiji's triumphant mood, looking at everyone in the room, "He is completely wrong."
Hearing this all-too-familiar voice, Mao Lilan turned around in shock.
"Shinichi!"
"Brother Kudo..."
"Kudo!"
"Shinichi, why did you come here?" Mao Lilan looked at him blankly. Although she had already talked about meeting for the second time after disappearing, she had the urge to cry. "As soon as I disappear, I don't show my face... Do you know that others will be worried!"
"Okay, Xiaolan, wait for me, you'll be fine soon." Kudo Shinichi knew that more sweat was breaking out on his face, but he still gave Mao Lilan a reassuring and confident smile.
"Say I made a mistake... Do you have any suggestions, Kudo?" Hattori Heiji's face froze, he folded his arms and assumed a defensive posture, "After the experiment just now, my reasoning method is completely It works. The key is in Officer Memu's pocket now. How do you retort?"
"Stick the fishing line in the tape inside the keychain, penetrate the victim's pants pocket, and then lock the door from the outside? , tie the key to the other end of the fishing line, the door frame, table and pocket are like a set of pulley structures, and the key will enter the pocket smoothly... I just did an experiment and it did this. Brother Kudo, do you have any other opinions? ?” The Megure Police Department, who cooperated with Hattori Heiji to play a wave of victims, also looked at Kudo Shinichi expectantly.
After all, Hattori Heiji is also from Osaka and the son of an Osaka police officer. He came to Tokyo and jumped around in front of a famous detective like Mouri Kogoro, which made the Megure Police Department somewhat unhappy.
"Did it really go into the pocket?" Kudo Shinichi leaned against the door, covering up his lack of strength, and said with a smile, "Officer Megure, take it out and take a look."
"Isn't it just fine..." Hattori Heiji tugged at Police Department Megure's trouser pocket and was shocked to see that the key that was supposed to enter the mezzanine easily fell from the outer layer, "How could it be!"
" You ignored a very critical issue, that is, the victim was sitting. He was already relatively fat. After sitting down, the space in his trouser pocket became even narrower. Moreover, when Tang Ze found the key, it was folded in half. Only when the key ring is placed in the mezzanine facing outward will it fall down in that state." After consciously regaining some strength, Kudo Shinichi stood up straight with difficulty, walked to the center of the study, and clicked on the key that fell on the floor.
Hattori Heiji’s face looked ugly.
He reluctantly grasped the fishing line in his hand, glanced at Tsujimura Toshimitsu, and protested in a low voice: "But, I did find this fishing line in the Japanese room next door..."
Kudo Shinichi shook his head, slowly bent down, and picked up the key that fell on the ground.
"The real key evidence is here." With a strong finger, he rotated the keychain's interlayer and looked at the sullen Tsujimura Kimie, "Mrs. Tsujimura, your key is paired with this key, that is, Said, your key also has a keychain that is exactly the same as it... Can you let us take a look at it? "
Tsujimura Kimi suddenly squeezed the small handbag in his hand.
She looked at Kudo Shinichi's young face, and Karasawa's equally determined and calm young face flashed before her eyes.
Kie Tsujimura laughed at herself: "I am indeed old...the keen young people are the future."
When she said this, she looked at the young and promising Tsujimura Takayama suddenly thought of Tsujimura Isao when he was young, and even more of his ex-husband's high-spirited appearance...
So she took out her keys from the bag without any struggle and unscrewed the mezzanine with her own hands, revealing the fatal groove in it.
"This is where the poison needles are placed." Kudo Shinichi closed the keychain and handed it to the police officer on the side. He put his hands in the pockets of his school uniform and walked closer to Tsujimura Kimie, "Hattori You are right, this is indeed a 'secret room murder case', but this secret room is not closed in the physical sense... but in the psychological sense. When Hattori and the others entered the study, Mr. Tsujimura was probably not dead yet, right?" br>
"Ah..." Hearing this, Hattori Heiji suddenly realized.
He turned his head and looked at the books and documents stacked high on the desk, and then glanced at the speaker next to the desk.
"So... when we entered the study, Mr. Tsujimura Isao was just knocked down by the drug, and he was put in that position while sleeping... Mrs. Tsujimura took out the keychain from the keychain when we got closer... The poisonous needle quietly took Mr. Tsujimura's life in front of all of us." Hattori Heiji breathed out and shook his head.
Killing the victim in front of two detectives...how ironic.
Thinking of this, some fragmentary fragments quickly connected in Hattori Heiji's mind. He suddenly raised his head and subconsciously searched for Karasawa's figure in the room. Kudo Shinichi didn't notice anything strange about Hattori Heiji. He was concentrating on maintaining a steady state, fearing that his feet would slip and reveal his timidity, and Xiaolan would discover the clues about his body.
As soon as he reached out, he took down a picture frame from the bookshelf. With his current height, taking it down was easy. It was not the case before. He just wanted to get this thing. Fell off the ladder.
Looking at the photo with mixed emotions, he turned the photo frame to everyone. Inside was a photo of a young couple: "As for the motive, I'm afraid this is it, Mrs. Tsujimura. Karasawa said before that you and Sachiko Katsuragi They look very similar, and it’s even more obvious when you look at this photo.”
When Tsujimura Takashi heard his fiancée's name, he looked at the photo in the frame carefully, and his face changed drastically: "This, except for the different hair color, this is a complete replica of Sachiko!"
Sachiko Katsuragi shrunk her shoulders and tightened her grip. He grabbed her boyfriend's arm and turned to look at Tsujimura Kimie in great surprise.
"Uh, so, Miss Sachiko, is the daughter of you and Isao Tsujimura...?" Police Department Megure swallowed, looked at the young couple hugging each other helplessly, and his mind was filled with thoughts in a flash. In sync with everyone before.
Having lovers, they eventually become brothers and sisters...?
“How is that possible?” Tsujimura Kimi was dumbfounded and shook his head, “I am Tsujimura Isao’s stepmother... The reason why I look so similar to Sachiko is because I am her biological mother, Sachiko. , is the daughter of me and my ex-husband, Kenji Yamashiro... She has no blood relationship with Takayama.”
Tsujimura Takayama let out a long breath, then realized that the occasion seemed inappropriate, and quietly held back his next words.
It scared him to death... It would be nice if it wasn't, it would be nice if it wasn't...
"Twenty years ago, Isao Tsujimura framed my husband Kenji Yamashiro, accusing him of corruption and bribery. Kenji couldn't bear the humiliation. He committed suicide after being imprisoned. My daughter was also taken away by her husband’s relatives.
“I was helpless and it was at the time of my greatest hesitation that I believed Tsujimura Isao’s rhetoric and this devil. A common sinner got married! "Speaking of this, Mr. Tsujimura was so filled with hatred that his eyes were about to burst. He glared fiercely at the empty desk at the moment, as if the man was still sitting there. "Until Kizan showed me his girlfriend's photo, I Only then did I discover the truth of everything! "
Hearing her angry roar, Tsujimura Takashi couldn't help but hug his girlfriend tighter.
Katsuragi Sachiko was trembling slightly and looked at Tsujimura Kimie at a loss.
“He said he didn’t agree with Takayama’s marriage. I pressed him repeatedly, and he finally told the truth. He said, ‘I will not allow Takayama to marry that man’s daughter’!” Tsujimura Kamie He clenched his fists and roared completely, "He then admitted that he framed Shancheng, not only to compete with him for the position of diplomat, but also for me! It was also he who found a way to make Shancheng suffer in prison. He suffered all kinds of torture and died with hatred! Yamashiro has already passed away with unwarranted charges. If I don’t take his life, I can’t sleep or eat well!”
“Mom, mom…” Sachiko Katsuragi covered her mouth with her hands. , eyes filled with mist.
After a few gasps, Mr. Tsujimura stood up straight with a sneer, arranged his hair and clothes, and returned to being a graceful lady. He calmly looked at the policemen walking towards him: "Takazan, I know I have no position to say this, but please take good care of Sachiko. You are a good child. I believe you can make her happy for my incompetent mother."
"That's why Mrs. Tsujimura. We will ask Karasawa to come with us..." Hattori Heiji stood aside, watching with a heavy heart as she put on the handcuffs calmly, as if she had completed her mission, relieved all her burdens, and walked out radiantly, unlike A prisoner who pleads guilty is more like a triumphant hero, "because she has made up her mind to kill Isao Tsujimura. In order to protect her daughter, she cannot easily let her relationship with Sachiko Katsuragi be exposed... That's it, right? Kudo?”
Hattori Heiji turned around and looked at Kudo Shinichi who was standing to the side for advice.
But he saw the other person covering his chest with a painful look on his face, leaning against the bookshelf, bending down and coughing violently.
"Kudo, are you okay..." He took a step closer and tried to support Kudo Shinichi, who seemed to be about to lose his balance, but he pushed him away first.
"I'm fine, I just have the flu." Kudo Shinichi covered his mouth and nose, gasped twice, and managed to stand up straight again.
Hattori Heiji straightened his baseball cap and looked at him in surprise: "It turns out that my idea was wrong from the beginning. You are really good this time. I am convinced that I lost. But having said that, , how do you know so much about the case? You were not present during the whole process... Are you hiding near the Mori Office?"
"Conan and Karasawa-san told me." Kudo Shinichi used the excuse he had prepared a long time ago, used his peripheral vision to determine Mao Lilan's position, took two steps calmly, and stood closer to the door. place, "After I contacted them, I asked about the details of the scene... However, Hattori Heiji, this cannot be called a loss."
"Oh?"
"Inference, no There is only one difference between high and low, because there is only one truth. "
After Kudo Shinichi finished reading the classic lines, he was about to grin when he felt his heart tightening violently, and the death-like pain hit him again.
Oops... I'm afraid the time limit has expired.
Kudo Shinichi raised his head, looked at the worried Mao Lilan, and smiled bitterly.
After showing up, you have to run away in a hurry, because the magic is about to fail. What kind of Cinderella story is this...
But I can only say sorry first, it is not the time yet. , give him some more time, he will stand in front of Mao Lilan and tell her everything exactly...
Taking a deep breath, he smiled at Mao Lilan, then turned around without hesitation and ran got up.
I don’t know when he will change back... He has to hurry up and go back to Tangze to change his clothes.
"Xinyi!" Mao Lilan was startled, and immediately followed his footsteps, chasing behind him, "You are still sick, where are you going!"
Damn it, with Xiaolan's With the strength of his legs, could he really outrun him? !
Looking around at the road in a panic, Kudo Shinichi could only choose to run downstairs first.
At the very least, we can try to explain why Conan ran to the first floor. With Tang Ze's emotional intelligence and adaptability, he will definitely be able to help fool him.
It is important to escape now, but not to be caught up——
He hurriedly rushed down the stairs and was about to continue heading towards the entrance hall when his heart contracted so hard that Kudo Shinichi stumbled.
It’s over! No, you can’t change back here!
At least hide and find a room...
He turned the corner in the direction of the living room in a panic, and then saw a familiar face, and couldn't help but be startled.
In the corridor in front of him, stood "Kudo Shinichi" who was also wearing the Teidan school uniform.
"Shh." The other person didn't look surprised when he ran into him. He just raised his index finger in front of his lips, making a silent gesture, then pointed to the cloakroom on the side, stretched out his hand, and pushed him into the door. .
It’s a joker!
Kudo Shinichi relaxed instantly and fell limply into the closet, trying to suppress his breathing.
"Shinichi!" Mao Lilan's voice followed, and joker gave him one last look, with a look of disgust and helplessness.
Thinking about his series of operations and having to rely on the other party to save his life in the end, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "..."
