When the gin knocks on the door

Chapter 189 Exceptions
So he didn't intend to interfere with Hattori Heiji's investigation into Kudo Shinichi's disappearance.

He also wanted to see when the great detective would find out that Kudo Shinichi had become smaller.

But from the current point of view, he should have discovered something unusual about Xiaolan and Conan.

It can only be said to be a coincidence or some kind of necessity. If Suzuki Sonoko hadn't come here, Hattori Heiji would have obtained much less information.

He even probably guessed that something happened to Xiaolan.

And compared to Kudo Shinichi, he will be more objective in dealing with Mao Lilan's sudden departure, and will not be affected by inherent concepts, thinking that parents are for the good of their children.

He was well aware of Xiaolan's nervousness.

It's just that he wants to see what direction the plot will go without his intervention.

Hattori Heiji didn't know what Mingjue was thinking, his eyes simply swept across the faces of the surrounding people.

The little boy named Conan looked calm and looked at them seriously. The little girl was standing next to Mingjue, and they didn't know what they were making eye contact with.

But they are all children, and children naturally make people relax their vigilance, so he didn't think much about it.

The main attention was still on Ming Jue.

After all, in terms of suspiciousness, the adult Mingjue is more suspicious than these two children.

After briefly looking at their expressions, he held his chin to analyze if there was anything hidden inside.

"You said he went to the elementary school to wait for this kid to leave school? Then you met Mr. Mingjue?"

"Yes."

"That is to say, that day was the first time Kudo Shinichi met Mr. Mingjue." When Hattori Heiji said this, he looked at Mingjue.

Ming decided to nod.

"Later, Mr. Mingjue borrowed at Kudo's house, and then Kudo Shinichi disappeared..."

Hattori Heiji sorted out the situation briefly, although it was just a simple handling of the situation without other meanings in it, but these words provoked Suzuki Sonoko to cast complicated eyes on Mingjue.

As soon as Mr. Mingjue moved to Xinyi's place, Xinyi disappeared.

It's not that she didn't doubt Mingjue when she was thinking wildly, but the possibility of Mingjue is not high.

First of all, it was the first time he knew Shinichi, so there was no reason to do it.

It's just that she can't help but come up with some reasons in her mind, such as Mingjue's uprising, trying to steal Kudou's things, but Shinichi finds out, and then makes a move on Shinichi, pretending that Shinichi is missing...

Of course, these are just her divergent thoughts, but they inevitably made her somewhat suspicious of Mingjue.

"Did you feel that there was something wrong about that meeting?"

"Yes, yes..." Suzuki Sonoko pondered for a while, not knowing whether to say it or not.

It's just not about Mingjue, but Shinichi's treatment of Kana.

Shin saw that Kana's eyes were strange, a bit like she was looking at someone she liked, but this should be her personal opinion, maybe it was some kind of illusion of his.

If she said it casually, it would be tantamount to discrediting Xinyi's image.

When the outside world rumors that Xinyi is a pedophile, then her crime will be serious!

Thinking about the consequences, she quickly shook her head, "It shouldn't be something wrong, it's just my illusion."

As for Mingjue, apart from appearing a little suddenly, there is nothing strange about it.

The less she said, the more interested Hattori Heiji was.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you say it. Whether it's personal feeling, sixth sense, or guessing, it might become the key to reasoning."

Suzuki Sonoko shook his head resolutely. It's okay to joke about such things with acquaintances, but not in front of outsiders.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Hattori Heiji had no choice but to turn his attention back to Mao Lilan.

He had an intuition that Mao Lilan might be the key to Kudo Shinichi's disappearance.

Therefore, in Suzuki Sonoko's narration, he will definitely find something abnormal.

Sure enough, he said, "Don't you think it's unusual for Miss Maori to go to America suddenly?"

It was more like encountering some danger and had to hide, so he announced to the outside world that he had left Japan.

If you think about it this way, then Kudo Shinichi's disappearance becomes obvious.

"Is there..." Suzuki Sonoko rested his chin in thought, and it sounded a bit like hearing him say that.

"But Xiaolan called me, she doesn't look like she's in danger..."

"Hehe..." Hattori Heiji chuckled, "Do you think she will tell you if she is in danger? Why is it impossible that her phone call is just to keep you safe? To save you from worrying?"

Listening to Hattori Heiji's sharp words, Mao Lilan left cold sweat on his head, but the sweat was covered by his hair and could not be seen.

She shivered, feeling a little cold.

In front of a powerful detective, she seems to have no privacy, and all her thoughts have nowhere to hide.

Seeing Shinichi deduce others like this before, and now it's his turn to be deduced so easily by others, it is inexplicably frightening and panicky.

No sense of security at all.

"Big Brother's imagination is really rich." Conan laughed.

----------

Ps: I have been quite tense this year, as if there is a whip behind me that keeps urging me to move forward.

But it's been half a year, but I haven't seen anything, and it's still empty in the end.

Anxiety, confusion, and various emotions came one after another, and the book became more and more difficult to write.

I even wanted to show it off a bit...Why bother to make myself so tired, and there is nothing in the end?

But do nothing and life won't get better...

This month's update may not be too stable, I need to adjust myself, try to keep updated...

It will be over for sure, don't worry
