Chapter 779: 1V1V1 Duel between Famous Detectives

"Hmph~?" Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes and deliberately prolonged the ending of the syllable, as if telling Sera Masumi: Do you think I believe it?

Mao Lilan felt that this topic was a bit awkward, so she quickly changed the subject and asked, "Didn't you say that He Ye would come with you? Where is she?"

Hattori Heiji replied, "She left on the way because of something. Someone gave her curry as a souvenir, and Kazuha's aunt liked it very much. However, this curry is only sold in a family restaurant in Tokyo, so she told Kazuha to buy some when she comes to Tokyo."

"We just happened to see that restaurant on our way here, so she went there to buy curry."

"I see," Mao Lilan nodded suddenly, "Then she will come over after she finishes buying it, right?"

"So," Conan couldn't help but interrupt, "Why did Brother Heiji come this time?"

Although Yu also asked, Hattori Heiji was going to come to Tokyo anyway, and helping to contact Sera Masumi was just a side job.

"Ah, here's what happened..."

Hattori Heiji was about to explain when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He said sorry and answered the phone. It was Toyama Kazuha who called. As soon as the call was connected, he asked Hattori Heiji for help and his voice sounded very panicked.

Hattori Heiji's expression suddenly changed: "What happened? Didn't you go to that family restaurant?"

Toyama Kazuha briefly recounted what had happened. Someone had died in the restaurant's bathroom, but it had not yet been confirmed whether it was a murder.

There was a tall foreigner who didn't allow anyone to leave the restaurant, so Toyama Kazuha called for help.

Hearing that it wasn't Toyama Kazuha who was in trouble, Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief: "Got it, I'll be there right away, wait for me!"

Hattori Heiji hung up the phone and said, "That's it. I'm going over there right now."

"In that case," Sera Masumi suddenly said, "How about using this case to see who is stronger, the East or the West?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at Sera Masumi in astonishment, somewhat surprised that she suddenly proposed such a duel.

Masumi Sera continued, "As for Hattori, of course he will be in a group by himself, and as for Kamiya, will Conan call and invite him?"

She looked at Mao Lilan and said, "And Kudo, I heard that he is Mao Li's boyfriend, why don't you call him and tell him about the case over the phone..."

Mao Lilan and Conan blushed at the same time, and the former waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, boyfriend or something..."

As for the latter, he touched the back of his head embarrassedly, lowered his head and chuckled.

Hattori Heiji stared at Conan with his eyes half closed, bending over: "Why are you so embarrassed?"

Kogoro Mouri lowered his dead eyes, staring at his own cabbage, and then glanced at Conan.

Conan felt a chill on his back and shook his head vigorously: "No, nothing!"

Sera Masumi crossed his arms and smiled like a fox: "Of course, if you two are very close and don't want to compete, I won't force you."

Hattori Heiji chuckled: "What are you talking about? This is an opportunity you have been waiting for!"

He turned his head slightly to look at Conan: "Let's have a showdown to see who is the real detective among me, Kudo and Kamiya!"

Family restaurant.

Yuya lowered his eyes and looked at Hattori Heiji and said, "So, you asked me to come here, not to treat me to a meal, but to see who won the case?"

Hattori Heiji said with fighting spirit: "How about a fight to decide the winner of the true detective!"

Youya yawned, waved his hand and turned away: "Not interested, it shouldn't be a problem to solve the case with you here, I'm going back now."

"Huh~" Hattori Heiji stretched out the ending sound, "Are you scared?"

Yuya stopped in his tracks, turned his head halfway, and sneered, "Can I take this as a challenge?"

Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows: "If you think so, it's not impossible."

"Interesting." Yuya's lips curled up slightly, "It seems that the previous few times did not make you realize how powerful I am. Okay, let's compete!"

The three girls (girlfriends) nearby looked at the scene helplessly.

Toyama Kazuha complained, "Heiji, come on, you're just like a child."

Miyano Shiho sighed: "Aren't all boys like this? Suddenly they have a strange desire to win."

Mao Lilan whispered: "Fortunately Shinichi didn't..."

But as soon as Mao Lilan finished speaking, Hattori Heiji used words to arouse Conan's desire to win.

Conan clenched his fists and said confidently, "Okay, then I will accept this challenge on behalf of Shinichi-nii!"

Maori Lan:

It is said that three women make a play, who says that when three men get together there is no play?

Yuya and the other two walked up to Toyama and Ye.

"So, when Yuanshan was buying curry here, a tall foreign man suddenly ran out of the bathroom and said that someone had died in there, and asked the clerk to call the police immediately, right?"

Yuanshan Heye nodded. "That's right. He also insisted in fluent Neon language to block the store and not let any customer leave."

Yuya asked, "Was he the first person to discover the body?"

Yuanshan and Ye nodded.

Yuya touched his chin. "He speaks fluent Japanese, is a tall foreign man, and was the first person to discover the body... Why does this scene feel familiar?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, then touched his chin thoughtfully.

There does seem to be an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

At this time, Inspector Megure suddenly popped up and said, "Every time a murder occurs, you enter the scene without permission. Compared to other scenes, this is more familiar, right?"

Yuya touched his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Inspector Megure, but every time I come here, the officer in charge of guarding says, 'Detective Kamiya, it was Inspector Megure who asked you to come here, right? Come in quickly!'"

Watching his younger brother imitating the character so vividly, Inspector Megure couldn't help but droop his eyes: Forget it, if Brother Kamiya was here, we should be able to pack up and go back quickly today, so forget it.

Seeing that Inspector Megure had no intention of kicking them out, Yuya quickly changed the subject: "Have you found out the cause of death?"

Takagi Wataru quickly took out his notebook and said, "It was poisoning. We found a candy in the mouth of the deceased that was tested to contain cyanide.

Some of the same candies were also found in the deceased’s pocket.”

Youye nodded slightly: "So, there are two possibilities: poisoning by others and suicide?"

Takagi Wataru nodded: "Yes, the foreigner who found the body said he thought it was suicide."

"Who is that foreigner?" Sera Masumi asked curiously, "He sounds very familiar with the crime scene."

"Ah, this one," Takagi Wataru laughed dryly, "He must be someone who has some connections with the police."

Yuya and Conan couldn't help but look at each other: Okay, now we can basically confirm who that foreigner is.

Mao Lilan also muttered thoughtfully: "Tall, fluent in Japanese, familiar with the crime scene, and has connections with the police...Ah, Mio-chan, that foreigner could be?!"

Miyano Shiho nodded helplessly: "It should be him."
