Conan's other self

On this day, in the Mori Detective Agency, Sera Masumi stood chatting with Xiaolan, and asked about Kudo Shinichi's news from time to time.

She had discussed it with her mother.

Although the appearance of two elementary school students who were both suspected of Kudo Shinichi made them doubt their previous judgments, Sera Masumi also knew that these two children were not ordinary, so she still maintained her attention.

Although she felt that Sera was paying too much attention to Shinichi, he was a detective after all, and there was another detective who paid so much attention to Shinichi, so Xiaolan answered them one by one.

But this time Sera Masumi’s question is a bit strange...

"Does Shinichi have any brothers?"

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, "No. Shinichi and I grew up together...why do you suddenly ask this?"

Conan couldn't help but look at Sera Masumi and became wary.

"Because you said that he and his parents were not at home, but last time I happened to pass by his house, I found someone living at his house..."

"Oh, that must be Mr. Subaru Okiya..." Xiaolan showed a look of surprise, "Because Mr. Subaru has no place to live for the time being, Shinichi agreed to let him live in his home..."

Speaking of which, the last time I went to clean the new house, I thought there was a thief. At that time, I kicked Mr. Subaru. The other person seemed to have been kicked, but I didn't feel like I had hit him at all...

"That's it..."

Sera Masumi nodded, even though she had already known about this from a primary school student, "Yes, yes! Is there any detective as powerful as Kudo? I really want to compete with him!"

"Ahem." Uncle Maoli pretended to cough, trying to increase his presence.

"Speaking of detectives who are similar to Shinichi," Xiaolan seemed not to hear her father's voice, "There is one in Kansai! He also looks very similar to Shinichi, but his skin... um... is a little darker..."

Sera Masumi's eyes lit up, "Really? Who is he?"

Hey hey...

Conan looked at Sera with dead eyes. This guy probably thought that one of him or Kaedehara was Hattori who had become smaller...

"It's Hattori," Xiaolan said, "Ah, by the way, he just called. Just before you came, he said he would be here soon!"

Will be here soon...

It doesn’t seem like this…

Sera Masumi listened to Xiaoran's brief introduction, glanced at Conan who was acting cute on the side, and replied casually, "Oh... the son of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters chief? And he is also a high school detective? How awesome!"

"Yes! His name is Hattori Heiji! In fact, he is the Hattori in [Kansai Hattori, Kanto Kudo]...the two of them are often compared!"

"Is that Kudo's competitor?"

"But their duel was just when they first met. Recently, they often work together to solve some incidents!"

"Yes, only two people can do it together!"

Uncle Mouri said in a low voice, and then he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and laugh, "You can't be compared to me, Japan's leading detective Kogoro Moori!"

"Then what?" Masumi Sera seemed not to have heard Uncle Mouri's interruption at all, "What is he doing here?"

"Well, he said we'll talk about it when he comes."

"I guess it brought something troublesome." Uncle Mouri said, "It's like a detective game played by two brats from Kanto and Kansai."

"Kanto and Kansai? So among the two detectives from Kanto and Kansai, who is the real detective?"

"I, I think it's about the same..." Xiaolan tried to carry the water.

"No, but if I have to say it, let's go to Kanto..." Conan looked like he was thinking seriously.

Outside the door, Maplehara couldn't help but sigh as he watched Hattori Heiji eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

Kudo Yukiko happened to come back today to help Subaru Okiya check out his disguise, and then went on to teach Ai Haibara the disguise technique at the doctor's house - which meant that he could have eaten the food cooked by his mother and Haibara.

Unfortunately, in order not to disturb the cross-dressing teaching in the basement, Maplehara chose to give in. After answering Hattori Heiji's call, he rushed to the office and happened to meet him downstairs.

At this moment, Hattori Heiji, who was listening to the conversation inside, obviously couldn't stand any longer. He pushed open the door and said loudly to Conan who was standing near the door:

"Kansai! Of course I am a high school detective from Kansai - Hattori Hei is much stronger! Idiot!"

As he said that, he looked back at Fengyuan, "right?"

"..."

Fengyuan did not reply to him, but greeted everyone in the room.

"Sora!" Xiaolan replied, "And Hattori!"

"Listen, I hear you talking nonsense..."

Although he was ignored, Hattori Heiji didn't care. He said something to Conan and looked around, "Huh? Why isn't he here? Where is she? The detective who suddenly appeared recently and inquired about Kudo everywhere."

"Isn't it right here?" Xiaolan pushed Sera's back and pushed her in front of Hattori Heiji, "Sera is so pure!"

"I'm not snooping around." Sera Masumi defended.

"You, you are actually a woman?!" Hattori Heiji stared at Sera's breasts in surprise, "Then your breasts are too small, right?"

"It will grow back in the future! My mother is also very thin, but has big breasts, so I am not worried at all! Right, Xiaolan!"

"Hmm, um..." Xiaolan responded awkwardly, and then changed the subject, "By the way, where is Heye? I heard that you will come together!"

"Ah, she has to go somewhere first. Last time, Kazuye's mother liked the instant curry that was given to her. Because that curry was only available in a family restaurant in Tokyo, she heard that Kazuye was going to After coming to Tokyo, her mother asked her to help buy some to take back. On the way here, she happened to see that family restaurant."

"Then she'll be here soon, right?"

"Then what? What are you here for?" Conan asked, "Brother Heiji..."

"Ah...actually..." Hattori Heiji was talking when he heard his cell phone ringing, "Ah, I'm sorry..."

He took out his phone and took a look, "It's Heye..."

Then he answered the phone, "What's wrong He Ye? Have you bought the curry?"

"Help...help, Heiji!"

Because he was very close, Fengyuan heard the voice on the phone and glanced at the phone.

"Ah, didn't you go to a family restaurant?" Hattori Heiji was a little surprised.

"I went to that family restaurant, but it was said that someone died in the toilet, which caused a big commotion!"

"Did someone die?"

"Ah?" Everyone who heard Hattori Heiji's words looked over in surprise.

"Did he kill him?" Hattori Heiji then asked.

"I don't know yet." He said to Ye on the phone, "There is a strange tall foreign man who won't let us leave this store..."

"I know! Come over right away, you wait for me!"

After Hattori Heiji finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and then gave a few simple explanations to everyone in the office, "That's it, I'll go over there first."

"How about this," Sera Masumi suggested, "How about through this incident, Kanto and Kansai... decide the outcome?"

"ah?"

"Of course Hattori will go by himself. As for Kudo, as long as Conan explains the situation to him over the phone, then we can compete, right?"

"Um…"

"Of course, if your relationship with Kudo is so good that you don't want to differentiate...I won't force you."

It's another reasoning showdown...

However, if we divide it according to Kanto and Kansai...

Maplehara glanced at Hattori Heiji and noticed that he scratched his cheek nervously.

"No, that's not good..." Hattori Heiji said, and Conan looked at him in surprise, as if he was meeting Hattori for the first time.

"ah?"

"It's just...this isn't fair..."

Hattori Heiji was a little confused.

Although I am not under Kudo, there are two Kudos here...

It's still a little bit difficult to fight one against two by yourself...

"Oh, do you think this is unfair to Kudo?" Masumi Sera suddenly said, "Indeed, if you are not at the scene, you may not notice the clues that you can only notice when you are there..."

She then suggested, "Are you worried that Conan can't tell Kudo the clues clearly? In this case, I can also help provide clues to Kudo..."

"I can make it clear!" Conan argued.

"Wait a moment!"

Hattori Heiji said something and then pulled Maplehara to the door and whispered to him, "Hey, Kudo, you are not allowed to exchange opinions with that Kudo later! Of course, you can still talk if it is something very important."

"Know it…"

"Very good!" Hattori Heiji turned back to look at Sera Masumi who was thoughtful and Conan who was speechless. "I agree! This is indeed the best opportunity. Who is the real name between me and Kudo?" Detective, let’s have a showdown!”

…

When the group arrived at the family restaurant, the police had already arrived and cordoned off the scene.

However, after swiping Uncle Maori's face, they came in smoothly. He Ye was waiting for them at the door. As soon as he saw them, he told them about the situation at that time.

"That's what happened..."

After listening to the story, Xiaolan summarized it, "When I was buying curry with Ye at the checkout counter, a foreign man suddenly walked out of the toilet and said that someone had died. Should I call the police quickly?"

"Yeah!" He Ye nodded, "Seal the toilet to prevent any customers from leaving the store just in case. He said it very loudly there!"

"Does that foreign man speak English?" Hattori asked.

"It's Japanese. That's the man who first discovered the deceased!"

"Is a foreigner who is fluent in Japanese the first person to discover the deceased?" Uncle Maori held his chin and thought for a moment, "That guy is a bit suspicious!"

Maplehara turned to look at the toilet. Police Department Megure and Officer Takagi heard the noise and walked out of the toilet and walked towards them.

He could tell that the Memu Police Department seemed to be in a bad mood.

"But for us," the Megure Police Department looked at Mouri Kogoro with an unkind look, "you guys who just walk into the scene casually every time are more suspicious."

"M-Mou Mu Police Department!"

Uncle Maori was a little embarrassed, "Oh, whenever I come to the scene recently, people will say hello to me and say, 'We've been called by the police department again,' and let me in."

"hehe…"

"Then what was the cause of death?" Hattori Heiji asked.

"Poison." Officer Takagi responded. "Sugar balls soaked with cyanide poison were found in the mouth of the corpse, and the same sugar balls were also found in the pocket."

"That means it could be suicide."

"Yes, that's what the foreigner who first discovered the body said."

"Who is that foreigner?" Sera Masumi was a little curious, "It seems that he is very accustomed to crime scenes. Do you know him?"

"It should be said that he is someone related to the police..."

"Is that foreigner..."

"Yeah," a tall, strong foreign man also walked out of the toilet, "because of work, I subconsciously..."

"K-Agent Kamel!"

Amid Xiaolan's surprised voice, Fengyuan took a few glances and confirmed that Agent Kamel should have come alone.

This was the FBI agent who was responsible for driving the car during the previous operation that sent Reina Mizuno back to the organization. After that, Kamel was involved in several cases, so Xiaolan was also familiar with him.

After a brief introduction, and with the consent of the Memu Police Department, the group of them followed into the toilet where the crime occurred and listened to Kamel's introduction to the situation at that time.

In a stall in the toilet, the deceased was still sitting on the closed toilet lid, with his head tilted to one side.

"You don't have to go to a place like this to commit suicide..." Uncle Maori looked at the situation in the toilet and couldn't help but complain.

"Then what? Do you know the identity of this uncle?"

"Not yet, nothing was found on him that could identify him." Officer Takagi replied.

"The mobile phone that could be a clue was also soaked in water in the toilet."

"Agent Kamel, where are you?" Conan asked.

"I'm going to the bathroom in this room two rooms away."

"Then what's the basis for you saying it was suicide?" Sera Masumi asked.

"I heard the voice - even if it is a friend who grew up together, I cannot agree to this request. I poisoned Abe to death, so I must be responsible."

Kamel recounted what he heard at the time, "After I finished speaking, I heard screams immediately. I ran out of the single room and saw that it was already like this."

"Then you quickly ran out of the toilet, blocked the scene, and asked the customers to stay in the store, right?"

"Yes. Judging from the content of the conversation just now, the deceased was talking to someone here because the deceased poisoned a man named Abe, and the matter was almost discovered by the police, so he was silenced by someone. The possibility also exists.

However, I remembered that the person came to eat alone, and since he didn't hear the other party's voice, he was probably talking on the phone. Although the person on the other end of the phone tried to stop him from committing suicide, he did not listen and ended his life out of remorse for his murderous behavior. "

"Is that voice really his?" Fengyuan asked.

"Yeah, that should be right." Kamel nodded, "This person's position is right opposite me, and his ordering voice is very loud."

Uncle Maoli thought for a moment and concluded, "Then it seems that he must have committed suicide."

"Yes, yes..." Officer Takagi agreed, "But the incident in which the man named Abe was poisoned does not seem to have happened in Tokyo. We are currently investigating whether this incident occurred in other counties."

"The person named Abe should have a very close relationship with the deceased, because when he called his name, he always had '小' in front of it."

"Then did he call that man Abe-chan?" It was Conan who asked.

"yes."

"Is there anything else you noticed?" Police Department Megure asked, "Maybe you don't know, dialects and the like..."

"In that case..." Kamel pondered for a moment and pointed at Hattori Heiji, "He speaks with the same accent as this boy!"

"Huh? Me?" Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, "Is that Kansai dialect?"

"I don't know if it's Kansai dialect, but there are very strange interjections at the end of the sentences."

"In that case," Sera Masumi said, "the Abe poisoning incident...maybe it happened in Kansai."

After hearing this, the Megure Police Department quickly signaled Takagi to investigate. Sera Masumi leaned against the wall and thought about things, noticing that Kamel looked back at him from time to time.

"Um, what? Did I get something on my face?"

"Ah, no..."

"If you are wondering whether I am a boy or a girl, the answer is a girl! Although my breasts are not fully developed yet."

"..."

Kamel turned around and walked away, and then sent the photo he had just secretly taken to his boss James.

He always felt like he had seen this tomboy somewhere.

…

Hattori Heiji leaned against the wall and looked at the two Kudos opposite.

The Kudo in the office even looked like he was doing nothing, as if he was waiting for something. It was obvious at a glance that he had not made any progress.

The troublesome Kudo next to him kept his head down and was holding his cell phone, seemingly checking something.

Could it be that you have already thought of something...

It shouldn't be...

"Let me ask," Hattori Heiji couldn't help but say, "What do you think of this incident?"

"I still have no idea at all," Conan replied, "I think there will probably be some progress after we find out whether there is such a case in Kansai."

"Yeah?"

Hattori Heiji grinned.

Conan had a bad premonition, "Hey, hey, you couldn't be..."

"Don't worry yet!" Hattori Heiji replied with a smile, and then looked at Feng Yuan, "Hey, what about you?"

"That uncle didn't commit suicide, he killed himself." Fengyuan didn't even raise his head, "You must want to say that, right?"

Hattori and Conan were stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Hey, you're committing a foul..."

Damn Kudo, he must have seen him laughing at another Kudo, reacted, and said that on purpose...

"How can this be considered a foul? Observing people's emotions is a basic skill of a detective... I thought of it when I saw you talking to Kamel."

Feng Yuan said, "When he said that the uncle's accent was the same as yours, you were stunned for a moment and then showed a surprised expression... So I thought, this case must be related to Kansai dialect..."

"..." Hattori Heiji's face became darker and darker.

"Kansai dialect..." Conan began to think.

"I'm not familiar with Kansai dialect, so I looked up some strange words in that sentence online... and I almost figured it out..."

"You guy! You said it wasn't a foul! Damn it, you actually used my expression to reason..."

"The first thing that struck me as strange was the sentence "Little Abe..."

Kaedehara pretended not to hear Hattori's complaints and showed the screen of his mobile phone to Hattori Heiji, "But when I was looking up this word, I saw some Kansai people's oral habits that someone summarized..."

"Ah!" Conan also thought of something and showed a surprised expression.

"As long as you re-understand that sentence using the way Kansai people speak, you can figure it out..."

Feng Yuan took back his phone and looked at Hattori Heiji, "Originally, I was going to ask Sister Ye to tell her about it, but since you mentioned it now, Hattori, why don't you bother her?"
