When the gin knocks on the door

Chapter 187 The Arrival of Hattori Heiji

Hattori Heiji, who came to Tokyo, took a map bought from a newsstand and quickly found the location of Kudo Shin's family.

As for how he knew the address of Kudo Shin's family, it was completely routine for detectives.

Looking at the words [Kudou's House] on the door plate, he collected himself and reached out to ring the doorbell.

The door was opened by a young man who didn't look much like Kudo Shinichi.

This should not be Kudo Shinichi's father, but probably a relative or friend.

He said hello politely.

"Hello, is Kudo Shinichi at home?"

Although Hattori Heiji couldn't recognize Mingjue, Mingjue knew who he was the first time he saw him.

He was a little surprised by Hattori Heiji's arrival, but not too surprised.

Obviously, the arrival of the other party is the chain reaction of the news of Kudo Shinichi's disappearance being made public.

Although Hattori Heiji doesn't know Kudo Shinichi, he has been paying attention to him for a long time.

So after knowing what happened to the other party, he went to Tokyo without hesitation, trying to find Kudo Shinichi.

Therefore, Mingjue understood the other party's reason for coming here just by turning his mind.

Mingjue sighed and shook his head, "I'm sorry, he's missing."

Then he looked at the other party suspiciously, "You are?"

"My name is Hattori Heiji, from Osaka."

Hattori Heiji finished saying his name, and then quietly waited for the other party's reaction. As expected, the other party showed a surprised look on his face.

"I heard of you."

Mingjue opened the door and motioned for him to come in and sit down.

Hattori Heiji followed him into the yard, and simply looked around the yard.

Regardless of this villa or this yard, it is obvious that the Kudo Shin family's economic conditions are quite good.

It's just that the yard looks quite messy, the grass on the lawn has grown deeper, but no one takes care of it at all.

Mingjue chatted with him while walking, "You came here because of Kudo's disappearance, right?"

Hattori Heiji hummed, noticing what he called Kudo Shinichi.

The other party called Kudo Shinichi Kudo, and it seems that his relationship with Kudo Shinichi is not very close.

It should not be the elder of Kudo Shinichi, so the rest are characters like friends.

"you are?"

"My name is Mingjue, a friend of Kudo's. I'm staying at his house temporarily. His parents are in the United States, and he doesn't know where he is now. I'm the only one here..." Mingjue briefly said here Case.

"That's it..." Hattori Heiji nodded, no wonder the yard seemed untended.

Kudo Shinichi himself should not know how to take care of the lawn, unless the grass is too long.

"Can you tell me how Kudo disappeared?"

Compared with the content in the newspaper, it is obvious that what the parties know is more true and detailed.

"No problem, you sit down first, if you are not in a hurry, I will pour you a cup of tea."

"Okay, thank you very much." Hattori Heiji was a little thirsty, so Shun Shun complied.

He bought several different newspapers on the way here, all of which published things related to Kudo Shinichi's disappearance.

Although the core is about the disappearance of Engineering Shinichi, each newspaper has a different story.

After all, we only know that Kudo Shinichi has disappeared. Why he disappeared and where he went is still under investigation. The reporters can only use their guesses to polish the news, so as to increase the sales of the newspaper.

Mingjue brought a pot of tea and poured him a cup before he opened his mouth slowly.

"It's like this..." He repeated what he had said to the police.

Hattori Heiji frowned, straightening his hat unconsciously.

If this is the case, then the whereabouts of Kudo Shinichi is too difficult to speculate.

It may be that he met his enemies, he may have witnessed a murder by accident and was discovered, or he may have been kidnapped by someone.

"During the period before Kudo's disappearance, were there any suspicious people wandering around the house?"

If it was taken away by the enemy, then in order to take away Kudo Shinichi without any obstacles, there must have been an act of stepping on the spot in advance.

In this way, there may be some clues.

"I don't know." Ming Jue still shook his head, "I only stayed here for a few days, and he went out the night he stayed here and never came back."

"Ah?" For this answer, Hattori Heiji was very surprised.

He saw that the other party regarded this as his own home, and thought he had lived here for a while.

but……

His eyes swept over Ming Jue without a trace. If classified according to the degree of suspiciousness, the person who first spotted him was obviously the most suspicious.

But if it was him, what good would harming Kudo Shinichi do him?

Or did he hide Kudo Shinichi?Fake a false appearance of disappearance?

He had to convince Heiji Hattori that he was indeed Heiji Hattori, and after a while, he touched a little edge.

If the associations he had made were a little bolder, maybe he would be able to touch the truth.

"May I ask, what is the relationship between you and Kudou? Does anyone else know if you live here?"

Hearing his question, Ming Jue, who was drinking tea from a teacup, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

This guy is suspicious of him.

Truth aside, he's a very reasonable suspect.

After all, he can be regarded as an accomplice, an accomplice who hid his identity for Kudo Shinichi.

He didn't care about Hattori Heiji's offensive words, and said: "I originally wanted to stay at Mr. Mori's house, but Mr. Mori didn't have any vacant rooms, so Kudo invited me to stay at his house temporarily."

"Who is Mr. Molly?"

"A detective, the father of a girl Kudo likes."

Hattori Heiji suddenly realized that he was trying to please his sweetheart.

"I don't think I've heard of this Maori detective..."

Logically speaking, the detective who can mix with Kudo Shinichi should also be a relatively famous detective, right?
"Mr. Maori is not very famous, it's normal if you haven't heard of it..."

"Okay..." After he said that, Hattori Heiji stopped asking questions.

Since other people have testified, it is unlikely that this person is the murderer who made Kudo Shinichi disappear.

"Did the police find any clues?"

"The police found a few people who saw Kudo Shinichi at night, but they didn't provide any useful clues..."

Last night, the police searched here overnight and found someone who had seen Kudo Shinichi.

It's just that because they didn't talk, they didn't know what Kudo was doing in such a hurry.

The police searched in the direction they pointed, and found no obvious signs of fighting or places stained with blood.

The clues just stopped.

I don't know if God deliberately made Kudo Shinichi smaller. When Gin gave him medicine, there was no one else around, otherwise the police might be able to find out something.

In this era of underdeveloped technology, such things as surveillance are not popular, and it is too difficult to find a missing person in the vast crowd.

Especially with so many people trying to hide it.

Hattori Heiji also felt a bit of a headache, even if the clues were broken, it would be difficult for him to do anything else.

After all, he is just a detective, not a magician who performs miracles.

"Can you take me to meet that Mr. Maori?"

If he was in Osaka, he would be able to contact the police and get clues from the police, but he was unfamiliar with the place in Tokyo, and no one in the Metropolitan Police Department knew him, so it was difficult to provide him with anything.

I can only go to see if Mr. Maori, who is also a detective, has found any clues.

"That's not a problem." Ming Jue readily agreed.

I don't know if Hattori Heiji can find out that Kudo Shinichi has become smaller. If he doesn't investigate clearly, he probably won't give up, right?

Although Hattori Heiji seldom participates in the main plot, but as Kudo Shinichi's opponent and partner, I have to say that this role is still very attractive.

Although Ming Jue didn't get along with him very much, through the plot, he knew Hattori Heiji quite well, and he was quite happy to see how he was going to investigate.

However, it is a pity that Mori Kogoro is not at home.It is naturally impossible for Mingjue to know where he went.

Conan and Xiaolan are still in school, no one is at home, and they can't get in.

The two had to stand downstairs in the Maori office and looked at each other.

"How about we wait here?" Ming Jue suggested.

"No!" Hattori Heiji flatly rejected the proposal.

If Kudo Shinichi is really in danger, every minute they delay, Kudo Shinichi will be in more danger!
He didn't want to see his opponent die like this!

"But what else is there to do?"

"Let's check it ourselves!" Hattori Heiji said.

They came here to find Mr. Maori, just trying to get clues from him, and his absence is just one more step.

They themselves went door-to-door to inquire and investigate!
Ever since, on the way home from school with Conan and Xiaolan, I saw a dark-skinned young man wearing a hat asking passers-by one by one.

And Ming Jue is like a tail, following behind the opponent.

"What are they doing?" Xiaolan was puzzled.

"I don't know, go and have a look." Because they were not close, they couldn't hear what they were talking about, and Conan didn't know what they were doing.

"Brother Mingjue, what are you doing?" Walking closer, Conan raised his head and asked curiously.

"Are you guys out of school?" Mingjue rubbed his head, causing Conan to roll his eyes.

"Hmm. Brother Mingjue, what are you doing here?" Conan repeated his question again.

"Well, I'm following him to investigate the disappearance of Kudo Shinichi, and see if I can find any clues."

Conan and Xiaolan looked at Hattori Heiji.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the famous detective Hattori Heiji from Osaka, who came here specially for the disappearance of Kudo."

Conan has an impression of Hattori Heiji. He has heard of most of the more famous high school detectives, and this Hattori Heiji seems to be one of them.

Hearing that the other party came here specially because of his disappearance, he suddenly became more fond of this stranger.

"Who are these two children?" Hattori Heiji looked down at the two children. Although he asked, he didn't take them to heart.

"This little boy is called Edogawa Conan, and he is currently staying at Mr. Mori's house. This is Kana, Mr. Mori's niece."

"Oh, that's it..." Hattori Heiji nodded, indicating that he understood.

He immediately thought of Kogoro Mori, "It's time, Mr. Mori should be back. Let's go and see, maybe we can get some clues..."

Conan looked puzzled, not sure why he was so persistent in thinking that Kogoro Mori would have clues.

Or can't find any clues, so Kogoro Mori is regarded as the last hope?
In fact, he had thought about how this news would end. It was nothing more than waiting for time to pass, and Kudo Shinichi would be gradually forgotten, so naturally no one would mention him again.

As for whether he is dead or not, only those who really care about him will care about this matter.

At that time, he only needs to contact the other party by phone, explain briefly, and then report that he is safe.

But obviously, this person named Hattori Heiji is not in this category.

A group of people came to the Mori Detective Agency together, but Mori Kogoro was not in the firm as everyone expected.

"Strange, where did uncle go?" Looking at the empty room, Conan was a little puzzled.

Uncle Mao Li didn't tell him where he was going today, and he didn't see any commissions recently. It stands to reason that he should be at home at this time...

"Could it be to play cards?" Xiaolan still knows her father's temperament quite well.

She felt that this possibility was quite high.

Hattori Heiji's thoughts were completely opposite to theirs, "I think there should be some clues to investigate."

Mori Kogoro must know Kudo Shinichi, not to mention that the other party also likes his daughter, and he probably has a good relationship with his daughter.

At this time, Kudo Shinichi disappeared, even if he didn't care about his daughter's face, he couldn't ignore it.

So, he must have gone to investigate.

The corner of Conan's mouth twitched, but he didn't refute his words.

If he really disappeared, maybe Uncle Maori would investigate.But now that he is standing here, what is Uncle Maori going to investigate?
With the uncle's half-baked reasoning level, anything that can be investigated will be a ghost.

"Hey, by the way, when will that girl Kudo Shinichi like come back?" Hattori Heiji suddenly remembered this.

Since Mori Kogoro is not around, maybe we can get some information about his preferences from the girl Kudo Shinichi likes. In this way, it is also a direction of investigation.

Hearing this, Conan blushed and subconsciously looked at Xiaolan.

Xiaolan was stunned when she heard this, and even frowned, muttering in a low voice, "The girl Xinyi likes? Who is it?"

　May is over, the last day.

　　By the way, I changed my profile, hehehe
