Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 129 Who are the people in Tokyo?

Hattori Heiji is full of expectations for the next competition.

However, when he came to the door of Jiang Xia's office, what he saw was a "out of business" sign and a person locking the door.

Toru Amuro sensed someone approaching. He turned around, looked at Hattori Heiji, and stopped what he was doing.

Hattori Heiji also looked at Toru Amuro, and soon he realized that this foreigner was definitely not Jiangxia. But since they are in the same office, he should know Jiang Xia.

Hattori Heiji stepped forward: "Does Eka Tongzhi work part-time here? When is he usually here?"

Toru Amuro looked at him and pointed to the registration book Jiang Xia hung up next to the door: "There are no fixed working hours. If you want to make an appointment, you can fill out the form first and he will pick it up when he is free."

"Is that so..." Hattori Heiji touched his chin with interest, "What about Kudo Shinichi?"

Toru Amuro: "...?" Who?

"I've actually been wondering whether the person who solved those incidents was Jiang Xia or the 'missing' Kudo Shinichi." Hattori Heiji said directly:

"I checked your office. Although you put out a lot of advertisements when it was first established, there has been no success. Until a while ago, Kudo Shinichi disappeared, and soon after this place became famous... Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? Yet."

Hattori Heiji said as he looked at Toru Amuro carefully, trying to find flaws in this detective agency employee.

But I saw that the other person had a confused expression of "What on earth are you talking about?" from beginning to end.

Hattori Heiji clicked his tongue inwardly. He is really good at acting, and there is no flaw at all: "Then let me tell you straight - is Kudo Shinichi hiding with you and secretly guiding Jiang Xia to solve the case?"

Amuro Toru frowned. These words reminded him of the "Kudo Shinichi's theory of possession by the wronged spirit" that was popular a while ago.

Such arrogant remarks that trample science underfoot...

Toru Amuro's impression of Hattori Heiji immediately dropped by 50 percentage points.

"You want to say that Jiangxia solved the case by cheating?" Toru Amuro turned around and looked at Hattori Heiji with a kind expression:

"Since you came here specifically for this matter, you should have collected information in advance - as long as you have read the reports, you should know that Jiang Xia and Kudo Shinichi have completely different crime-solving styles.

"You have that kind of thought because you have been misled by the media. It is a good thing for young people to be active in thinking, but they should always have some opinions. It is not good to be too soft-hearted. Having said that, I feel that you look familiar - you are from Osaka That high school detective, Hattori Heiji?”

Hattori Heiji was startled, raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat: "Do you know me?"

"Yes, I'm quite impressed." Toru Amuro nodded, "We have made newspaper clippings of other detectives' cases for study reference. Only you are always dark in them, so we had to go out of our way to find your color photos... …The daily case reports are only available in black and white, which is really inconvenient.”

Hattori: "...?"

Just talk, why are you suddenly mentioning your skin color! and……

He said angrily in disbelief: "Are you worthy of mocking me? If you were published in the newspaper, you would definitely be a mess!"

Toru Amuro suddenly raised his hand.

Hattori Heiji was startled and ducked away.

But soon, he discovered that Toru Amuro didn't mean to attack him - the hand stopped in front of him.

Putting the two hands together, the color difference that was not so obvious suddenly became clear.

Amuro glanced over and said, "Look, I'm actually a bit fairer than you."

Hattori Heiji:"……"

The corners of his eyes twitched, and he suddenly realized that the topic had gone off the rails: "Wait a minute, I'm asking you Jiang Xia and Kudo Shinichi. What does my skin color have to do with this!"

"It has nothing to do with anything, just a sudden and unreasonable association - just like you associate Jiang Xia and Kudo Shinichi together."

After Toru Amuro finished bullying his juniors, he put down his hands in a comfortable mood: "For us, solving crimes is not a game, it is a job that needs to be taken seriously. I hope you will not bother us with the idea of ​​​​'competition'... In short, don't come again in the future. ”

With that said, Toru Amuro locked the door with a click and left.

Hattori Heiji was rejected: "..."

...The detectives in Tokyo are so unfriendly.

He traveled a long way here, but he didn't see Jiang Xia or Kudo Shinichi. He didn't ask anything, and he was suddenly ridiculed... Hattori Heiji's impression of Tokyo was -1, -1, -1. It also ignited an unwillingness to fight.

He came here today to have a showdown with the "Famous Detective of the East".

As for whether the "Eastern high school detective" refers to Jiangxia or Kudo Shinichi, to be honest, Hattori Heiji is not sure.

There is indeed a huge difference in the crime-solving styles of Jiangxia and Kudo Shinichi, just as some critics have said - unlike Kudo Shinichi who focuses on storytelling, Jiangxia always solves cases quickly, perfunctorily and concisely, as if he is reading an outline.

However, Hattori Heiji feels that this difference may be evidence that "Kudo Shinichi is hiding behind the scenes."

How could a normal person find the murderer so quickly and accurately every time?

But if someone gives Jiang Xia spoilers in advance, Jiang Xia will appear with reasoning conclusions. Then his speed in solving crimes makes sense.

"..." But this is just a conjecture after all. It is also possible that Jiang Xia is really the kind of genius who solves crimes.

In short, Hattori Heiji plans to rely on his reasoning ability to figure out how Jiangxia solves the case.

Currently, among the two key figures "Jiangxia" and "Kudo", Kudo Shinichi is missing.

However, the firm that Jiang Xia belongs to is clearly registered in the newspaper - every time Jiang Xia solves a case, he must mention the address of the firm.

Therefore, Hattori Heiji came to Jiangxia first, intending to find out the truth.

But now...

"..."

Hattori Heiji faced the closed door of the detective agency in front of him and sighed.

But he quickly cheered up.

Fortunately, besides Jiang Xia, he actually has another clue related to "Kudo Shinichi" - Kudo Shinichi seems to have a girlfriend.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji picked up his luggage and embarked on the journey again without giving up.
