Chapter 808: Group Friends Meeting Scene
"Oh, haha, so that's how it is." Xiaolan smiled and agreed with Hattori Heiji's words, allowing the Kansai man to get away with it once again.
"Eh...it's a bit suspicious?" Sera Masumi said, pinching his chin.
Yuanshan Heye chased after him and said, "You are still shouting and dancing after a crime. Aren't you being too disrespectful to the deceased?"
"Hehe..." Hattori Heiji looked around and confirmed again that Maori Kogoro and Conan were not there: "Where are that confused uncle and that kid with glasses?"
"Conan and his father went to the Metropolitan Police Department to record a statement." Xiaolan said again.
"Ah!" Hattori Heiji felt very sorry. He had lost the perfect opportunity to fight Kudo again. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"You didn't tell me you were coming, Hattori-kun." Xiaolan's eyes were half-mooned. Recalling that Kazuha had withdrawn some messages in the group many times, it was probably Hattori Heiji who asked Kazuha to withdraw in order to give Conan a surprise attack.
Suzuki Sonoko at the side also glared at Xiaolan in sync: "Could it be that you encountered a problem in Kansai that you couldn't solve, so you came to Xiaolan's father for help?"
Then Suzuki Sonoko placed her hand on her heart and said, "This queen of reasoning may also consider helping you."
"Huh." As soon as Hattori Heiji saw Suzuki Sonoko, he knew that she was just another victim of Kudo's anesthetic needle.
"Oh, you are the 'High School Detective from Kansai' in the group, right?" Sera Masumi suddenly understood Hattori Heiji's identity and looked at Toyama Kazuha behind him: "Then you are the 'Stupid Black Chicken', right?"
"I feel like I've been called twice." This time it was Hattori Heiji's turn to raise his half-mooned eyes and look at Toyama Kazuha: "Look at what you've done."
"slightly--!"
"By the way, are you also a member of the group?" Hattori Heiji looked at Sera Masumi for a long time. Could it be that... you are the 'Kanto Plain'?
Sera Masumi crossed his arms: "Why, don't you think so?"
Hattori Heiji asked hesitantly: "From the tone of your conversation... I thought 'Kanto Plain' should be a girl."
"How can you talk like that!" Suzuki Sonoko immediately accused.
"Hattori-kun, that's too much." Xiaolan also said the same.
"Ah?" Seeing the two girls so indignant, Hattori Heiji was stunned and looked at Sera Masumi suspiciously: "So you are a girl?"
Although I could tell in the group that you were flat, I didn’t expect it to be so flat, without any curve at all!
"I'm sorry I don't look like a girl." Sera Masumi often makes fun of herself, so she won't get angry about it. She crossed her arms in front of the Kanto Plain and said, "But tell me, are you here to discuss the case with Xiaolan's father?"
"It's more than just a discussion. This case happened in your Tokyo, so I came to invite them to go and take a look with me," explained Hattori Heiji.
"If the case happened in Tokyo, why wouldn't they ask Xiaolan's father to do it for you?" Suzuki Sonoko was confused.
"Because the witnesses of the case are from Kansai." Hattori Heiji looked behind him, and a panting burly figure walked into the office from the back: "Right, Mr. Otaki~"
The man who came was a burly and stocky man with a scar on his forehead where his eyebrow was cut off. He was a police inspector in the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Department of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, and his name was Otaki Goro.
"Long time no see, Officer Otaki." When the Mori family encountered a case in Osaka, the old acquaintance who corresponded to Megure's position was Otaki Goro.
"It's been a long time since we last met, Xiaolan. This is Miss Suzuki, right?" Then Otaki Goro looked at Hideyoshi Martin: "Who is this lady?"
"I'm Martin." Hideyoshi Martin greeted with a smile: "And I...well, I'm a boy."
"Eh? Sorry, sorry." The hot sweat on Otaki Goro's head had not yet disappeared, and he began to sweat coldly. He looked at Sera Masumi awkwardly: "Who is this boy?"
"I'm Masumi Sera." Masumi Sera imitated Martin and changed her name to something more elegant: "Well... I'm a girl."
"Ah! I'm really sorry." Otaki Goro was sweating profusely.
Hattori Heiji patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, this is not your problem."
Toyama Kazuha looked at Hideyoshi Martin, then at Sera Masumi, and shook her head left and right, not knowing what to say.
"Then this one..." Officer Otaki moved his gaze to Tuji and fell silent again.
Not to mention whether he is a boy or a girl, it is hard to tell whether he is a human or not.
"This is Rabbit."
"Chi~" Rabbit waved his hand.
"Hello, hello." Officer Otaki has already reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. What kind of people are in Detective Mouri's family?
Xiaolan asked, "So Officer Otaki witnessed a case?"
"Do you want to listen to it?" Hattori Heiji said with a bit of pretentiousness: "I named this case 'The Murder Case in a Closed Room That You Can't Reach Even If You Stand on Tiptoe'."
"Go ahead." Suzuki Sonoko leaned back on the sofa: "This queen of reasoning is here to help you solve the case."
Then Otaki Goro narrated that this case happened last month.
The cause was that Osaka Prefecture had another fugitive serial killer after Kiichiro Numabuchi. This time the criminal was called Kiriya Ado. Some time ago, Osaka Prefecture received information that someone had seen this person in Tokyo.
Then he checked Fei Tutong's interpersonal relationships in Tokyo and found out that his high school teacher lived here and had taken good care of him. He also found a job for Fei Tutong, who had no parents.
Suspecting that Hidotong might also ask his teacher for help, Osaka Prefecture notified the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and Otaki Goro brought some police officers to monitor the old teacher.
The old teacher's name is Kanzuki Hideri. He retired many years ago and lives alone in a high-end residence in Haido Town.
Martin: "The students taught by a teacher named Guanyue are not simple."
Otaki Goro monitored the old teacher for three days. On the third day, he found that it was time for the old teacher to go out for a walk, but he had not yet gone out. So he became alert and went to his house to check.
When they opened the door, they found the old teacher hanging from the central air conditioner in the living room, with a small upside-down stool at his feet. Martin: "It's a classic suicide pose, but when it's this classic, it often means it's not suicide."
Suzuki Sonoko: "Nonsense, I can see that, otherwise they wouldn't come to look for Xiaolan's father."
"Good." Martin applauded her: "You are worthy of being the queen of reasoning! Papapapapa!"
Rabbit also followed Martin's movements and clapped his hands.
Suzuki Sonoko felt that the two of them were teasing her, but she couldn't say anything and felt very awkward.
Otaki Goro: "That's right. I monitored Kanzuki Hideri for three days and was sure that no outsider had entered his home during those three days. So at first we treated it as a suicide to end the case."
But after taking the data back for analysis, more and more something seemed wrong. The small stool that fell next to the body was much lower than the distance between the feet of the hanging body and the ground.
In other words, even if the small stool was propped up and placed under the corpse, there would still be a large distance between the corpse's feet and the stool.
Sera Masumi held his chin with his hand, his eyes revealing the spirit of tracking prey: "In other words, the criminal killed the old man and placed the bench next to him to fake the scene."
Martin: "Maybe the deceased used something else to stand on, like ice? No, it should be dry ice." If the ice melted into water all over the floor, people downstairs would have found it long ago. Dry ice is much more convenient because it can be sublimated into gas directly, and its weight is slightly higher than that of air. It is usually close to the ground and not easily detected.
"What's the point of standing on tiptoe with dry ice? To experience the feeling of cold feet in advance?" Suzuki Sonoko said with a half-mooned look: "And weren't you the first to suggest that it wasn't suicide? Why are you supporting the idea that it was suicide now?"
Martin: "Isn't this because the Queen of Reasoning has eliminated a wrong answer for us?"
Suzuki Sonoko narrowed her eyes:?
"If they used dry ice, they would definitely find insulated boxes or foam boxes for transporting dry ice at the scene." Hattori Heiji retorted: "If there was such a thing at the scene, Mr. Otaki would not have ignored it."
Conan once complained to Hattori Heiji behind his back that Martin's way of reasoning was to find a mystery novel with a similar plot and make random guesses, seemingly without considering whether there was any basis for his reasoning in reality.
"What you said makes sense, so I'm worried. I'd like to ask Ping to go with me to the scene to take a look. Maybe there are some omissions that were not discovered at the time." Otaki Goro made a summary. Since Mouri Kogoro was not at home, he might as well take his leave.
"Then please take us with you." Sera Masumi said at this time: "I am also a little interested in this case."
"You are also a detective?" Hattori Heiji was a little surprised.
Every time he criticized Kudo Shinichi in the group, this Kanto Pingyuan would come out and say something to him. He always thought she was Kudo Shinichi's fangirl.
"I think I have a good brain and should be considered a detective." Sera Masumi smiled, and if she encountered a problem, she could call for help from her mother outside the field.
The original shopping plan turned into a detective plan, and everyone set out from the Maori Detective Agency to rush to the scene. However, along the way, a group of girls, some familiar, some unfamiliar, or getting familiar, chatted, and it still looked like shopping, but they just wandered to the crime scene.

On the other side, at Dr. Agasa's house, Dr. Agasa was tinkering with new inventions in the workshop, Haibara Ai was developing an antidote in the basement, and Miyano Akemi was half lying on the sofa, watching a drama while casually browsing Amazon on her phone.
She is searching Amazon for cleaning tools that can effectively clean pet hair. When the little rabbit encounters a problem in learning, it will scratch its head like a human child. In the past few days, the amount of rabbit hair accumulated in the Miyano sisters' room has increased significantly.
In particular, the hair of rabbits grows very fast. According to Martin, this is because rabbits in this world will frequently trigger the molting period between winter and summer.
Hair shedding is a problem that all pet-raising families have to deal with, and one rabbit is equivalent to ten cats. Dr. Agasa's vacuum cleaner alone is not very useful.
'Martin said that the Black Organization is now in pieces, and no one except Vermouth would care about us two sisters, and Bourbon is coming for... my cousin. After solving the problem of Bourbon, should I find a job? Now I don't know what to do every day, and I don't want to clean up the house and remove rabbit fur every day... I miss the life of traveling around. The time I traveled with Miss Ma Yi was really fresh and exciting.'
While thinking about all these messy things, Miyano Akemi suddenly heard a scream from outside, which startled her so much that she quickly sat up from the sofa.
Then there was a series of crackling noises outside, and Miyano Akemi recognized it as the sound of a watermelon being smashed.
Could it be that Cousin Xiuyi is here to provoke Dalang and Jilang again? But the scream just now seemed to be a woman's.
Miyano Akemi came to the window and looked out through the glass wall of Dr. Agasa's house. She could only see the watermelon juice flowing in the yard. The two watermelon pitchers' attack targets were just in the blind spot.
When the sound of the watermelons breaking stopped, which usually meant that the enemy had run away or fainted, Miyano Akemi carefully opened the door and stuck her head out. Sure enough, among the pile of broken watermelons, there were two people lying crosswise in the yard, motionless.
She turned around and shouted "Dr. Agasa" towards the workshop, then Miyano Akemi walked out and found that the two men were still wearing black bandit masks. She reached out and pulled off one of them's masks.
She was the wife of the couple who came here the day before yesterday to identify Dr. Agasa's pot and asked Miyano Akemi about various information. The other one must be her husband.
Judging from the hoods on their heads, Miyano Akemi's feeling was correct, they really had bad intentions. Apparently, they didn't know that Professor Agasa had already sold the pot and the carpet, and they wanted to be a robber and steal the carpet when there were few people at home.
Fortunately, Haibara Ai has been told about the couple's affairs. As long as Haibara Ai maintains a bad impression towards them, the Watermelon Pitchers will automatically identify them as enemies even if they are wearing headgear and launch a saturation attack.
Of course, the next thing they did was to call the police. These two people broke into other people's homes wearing hoods and carrying stun guns, hemp ropes and other props in their bags. It was obvious what their intentions were.
……
"So, these two people sneaked into your house, and after being discovered by you, they were knocked unconscious by you using watermelons..." Takagi, who was halfway through the statement, looked at the scene and confirmed with a complicated expression.
Looking at the broken watermelons all over the ground, Gao Mu thought that his monthly salary might not be enough to buy so many watermelons.
But how others use the watermelon is not a problem as long as the watermelon is not stolen. The problem is... Gao Mu looked around and asked cautiously: "Is there no one named Martin here?"
Could it be that because Conan is waiting in the Metropolitan Police Department to continue taking statements, the 'First Law of Takagi' (Conan will definitely be encountered at the crime scene) is not triggered here, and as a result, even the 'Second Law of Takagi' (a person named Martin will often appear at the crime scene where Conan appears) will not be triggered?
"No." Miyano Akemi, who came out to receive Takagi, covered her mouth and laughed: "Maybe Martin-chan will be waiting for Officer Takagi at another crime scene."
"Martin...chan?" Gao Mu was puzzled at first, then his mouth twitched: "Another case or something, it's better to say less about this, haha..."
