Have You Confessed Your Love Today? Chapter 29
byChapter 29 Chapter 29 Wise
Hattori Heiji’s whole person turned gray.
He couldn’t help but look at Yuanshan and Ye again and again, thinking sadly and angrily: Why was his confession so bumpy?!
Edogawa Conan comforted him: “Shibuya’s Valentine’s Day light show lasts until 23:00. It’s still too late to solve the case quickly.”
Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan looked at each other, seeming to gain some strength from the encouragement of their close friends.He glanced at Toyama and Ye again, and a blazing flame seemed to surge behind his back, and he said fiercely: “I will definitely solve the case at 23 o’clock, no, 22 o’clock!”
Toyama and Ye were both stunned by Hattori Heiji’s appearance: “Heiji looks very motivated this time!”
Mao Lilan, who probably guessed that Hattori Hei was about to confess, sighed in her heart and said tiredly: “Yes, yes…”
Suzuki Sonoko looked at Mao Lilan’s expression and leaned into her ear: “Lan, could it be…”
Mao Lilan nodded lowly.
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly showed sympathy.Hattori Heiji’s road to confession has been so bumpy that even the eldest lady can’t bear to laugh at him.
Kengo Akechi, who was also squatting next to the corpse, looked at Hattori Heiji thoughtfully and said with interest: “Valentine’s Day…”
Hattori Heiji, who completely ignored the presence of outsiders, was petrified.
Edogawa Conan suppressed a smile: “Mr. Akechi, please help Heiji-san keep this a secret.”
“I will.” Akechi Kengo said with a smile, which looked very malicious in Hattori Heiji’s eyes.
The Zhongsen Police Department holds Kiddka in their hands. The gem is still there or not, and the owner of the gem is dead again.He said angrily: “Who committed the crime at Kidd’s scene again?!”
Only then did everyone remember this.
Edogawa Conan asked: “Nakamori Police Department, are the gems still there?”
Zhongsen Police Department gritted his teeth and said: “There is another yellow gemstone in the gem display stand. It looks exactly the same, but Kidd said that he had already obtained the gemstone. It should be a fake left behind.”
Hattori Heiji said in confusion: “If you take out the gem and test it, won’t you know whether it is genuine or not?”
Suzuki Jirokichi said irritably: “The gem cannot be taken out for the time being, and only Mr. Wakamatsu knows the password.”
Edogawa Conan said: “What if we find someone to crack the password?”
Suzuki Jiroyoshi said: “I specially found someone to customize this gem cabinet. It will take a long time to crack the code.”
Hattori Heiji suggested: “Anyway, the punishment for entering the wrong password is electric shock, so let’s just cut off the power again.”
“In order to prevent Kidd from using this trick, the jewelry cabinet uses an internal independent power supply system.” Suzuki Jirokichi said, “If the password is entered incorrectly, the cabinet will be locked immediately.”
Now everyone was at a loss.The jewelry display stand is made of the hardest glass, which cannot be broken open even if it is smashed.
Originally it was to guard against Kaitou Kidd, but now they were guarding themselves outside.
Edogawa Conan stood up from the corpse, walked to the gem display cabinet, looked at the gems inside with his feet, and reminded: “If it is a real ‘scorching sun’, it will change color under long-wave ultraviolet rays.”
“Yes!” Nakamori Police Department cheered up, “I remember that the disinfection lamp uses ultraviolet light. Does Wakamatsu’s family have one?”
Butler Hashimoto hesitated to speak: “There is an ultraviolet lamp at home, but…”
“The disinfection lamp uses short-wave ultraviolet light.” Kengo Akechi looked helplessly at the Nakamori Police Department, “It seems that Kaitou Kid’s gem hunting range is not large enough, so the Nakamori Police Department doesn’t even understand this common sense.”
The Zhongsen Police Department said awkwardly: “…What you said is true. I will try to understand it in the future.”
Suzuki Jirokichi has already started calling and using his money power to solve the problem: “Go buy a long-wave ultraviolet lamp immediately!”
The Nakamori Police Department sighed deeply: “I’ll call Megure.”
Akechi Kenwu said: “I have already called.”
With the police officers from the Zhongsen Police Department and the Second Search Division present, no one had to worry about protecting the scene.If it was a homicide, the murderer would not be able to escape from the trap set up by the surrounding people to catch Kaitou Kidd.
Tokyo’s police dispatches have always been very fast, but instead of the Megure Police Department who are familiar with them, they are led by another sword-wielding police department member from the Search Division.
Kenchi Police Officer is old and is about to reach retirement age. He rarely goes out in the field anymore and is relatively unfamiliar with these young detectives.
The long-wave ultraviolet lamp that Suzuki Jiroyoshi spent money to buy was also delivered as quickly as possible.
Mr. Suzuki turned on the lamp with his own hands, met with the Zhongsen Police Department, and stared at the topaz in the gem cabinet with burning eyes.
The topaz in the gem cabinet did not change color, but the faces of the Nakamori Police Department and Suzuki Jirokichi changed!
Suzuki Jirokichi announced to everyone: “The gem is fake!”
“Damn it!” Nakamori Police Department and Jiro Suzuki beat their chests, “After such a long time, Kidd must have run away long ago!”
The sword-wielding police officer looked at the two of them speechlessly: “The murder case is more important now!”
“It was obviously Kaitou Kidd who did this!” Shuko Wakamatsu looked on with cold eyes. Facing everyone’s gazes, she said confidently, “It was so dark just now. Who could kill someone in such a short time except Kaitou Kidd?”
“Impossible!” the Nakamori Police Department said categorically, “Kaitou Kidd never kills anyone!”
Others nodded in agreement.Suzuki Sonoko, a senior fan, even said: “Miss Wakamatsu, I know you are sad, but Kidd-sama would not do such a thing!”
Akechi’s enlightened eyes scanned the crowd and found that no one from the detectives to the police thought that Kaitou Kidd could be the murderer, or even thought about it.
Akechi Kenwu held his chin with one hand: “Interesting.”
“You’ve never seen it before, right?” the Kenchi Police Department whispered, “Actually, there are many people in the Metropolitan Police Department who are fans of Kidd.”
Akechi Kengo glanced at him sideways: “Are you a fan who is proud to be a policeman and a criminal?”
“You go teach those young people a lesson.” Jianchi Police Department said, “I, an uncle who is about to retire, can’t be bothered to take care of this.”
“There’s no evidence that Kidd didn’t do it, right?!” Shuko Wakamatsu sneered, “Is this how you police handle cases based on speculation?!”
Suzuki Sonoko bared her teeth and said: “Aren’t you just making assumptions?! What reason does Kidd-sama have for doing this?!”
Wakamatsu Shuko said disdainfully: “Who knows what the murderer thinks?!”
Mao Lilan and Toyama Heye quickly stopped the angry Suzuki Sonoko.
“No obvious fatal injuries were found on Mr. Wakamatsu’s body. It has been sent for autopsy.” The Kenmochi Police Department stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation. “Does Mr. Wakamatsu have any enemies?”
Wakamatsu Shuzi sneered: “That’s a lot.”
“Sister!” Yota Wakamatsu sternly stopped him with disapproval.
Wakamatsu Shuzi glanced at him and smiled sarcastically: “Not to mention you are far away, you can be considered one of them, Yota.”
“How is that possible?!” Wakamatsu Yota opened his eyes wide in surprise and said angrily, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Wakamatsu Shuko lit up a cigarette and puffed out a puff of smoke: “I invited my crush to my house, but she turned out to be my maid. If you’re not angry at all, is this the person you were looking for for your father, Yota?”
Everyone looked at Mrs. Wakamatsu in stunned silence.
Mrs. Wakamatsu lowered her head in embarrassment.
Wakamatsu Youta was so angry that his voice trembled: “Qinzi and I are just classmates, and she wasn’t the only one I invited! Then you are the same, aren’t you always very dissatisfied with your father because he refused to hand over the company to you?!”
“That’s my mother’s company, and it was originally supposed to be given to me.” Shuko Wakamatsu said, “It’s a pity that your mother has nothing to leave you, right?”
“Stop arguing!” Miko Wakamatsu exploded, “Dad has just had an accident, are you going to argue about the inheritance?”
“Don’t sound like you don’t care.” Wakamatsu flicked the ashes from her cigarette, “Little sister, haven’t you been quarreling with your father recently?”
Wakamatsu Miko said angrily: “I am different from you! As long as I act coquettishly more, my father will definitely change his decision!”
“How much do you think he cares about you?” Shuko Wakamatsu said sarcastically, “If he really cared about you, he wouldn’t let you get married!”
The Wakamatsu family made a round of revelations to each other, and everyone ate until they were full.
While waiting for the autopsy results, Butler Hashimoto served each guest a cup of tea.
The theft case turned into a murder case. The Nakamori Police Department and the Kenmochi Police Department made a handover and left with the officers from the Second Search Section, leaving the First Search Section to take over the scene.Officers searched the entire house and once again confirmed that no one else was inside.
Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan glanced at the four people in the Wakamatsu family with urgent eyes, and the suspect was among them.
The sword-wielding police officer teased Akechi and Kansu: “Section Chief, is there anyone else who can kill someone under your nose?”
The wise and enlightened person asked meaningfully: “Why not?”
The Kenchi Police Department looked at him suspiciously and answered the phone: “Hello, this is Kenchi. …I understand.”
He hung up the phone and announced to everyone who had been waiting for a long time: “The autopsy results are out. Mr. Wakamatsu was poisoned.”
“Poison?” Edogawa Conan and Hattori Heiji said in unison, showing suspicion at the same time.Is it just a coincidence that Mr. Wakamatsu died in just twenty seconds during the power outage?
Kenmochi Police Department said solemnly: “We have detected a fatal toxin in Mr. Wakamatsu’s body. There is a pinhole on his finger, and the murder weapon is probably a poisonous needle.”
Hattori Heiji asked: “Kenchi Police Department, what kind of poison was Mr. Wakamatsu poisoned? How long did it last?”
The Kenmochi Police Department said: “□□, Mr. Wakamatsu was poisoned and died at the time.”
That being said, I did it during a power outage.
Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan both frowned and fell into deep thought.
At this time, Butler Hashimoto in the room suddenly said: “It’s already so late, do you need to stay overnight? I need to organize the guest rooms according to the number of people.”
“No, I…” Hattori Heiji suddenly came back to his senses, glanced at the time, and suddenly became dejected.Now the time has come, the case has not been solved yet, he can’t catch up with the light show, damn it!
Edogawa Conan sighed and gave Hattori Heiji a sympathetic look.
“We don’t need to bother Mr. Butler.” Akechi said. “It is part of the police work experience to stay up late and work before solving a case.”
As he spoke, he walked up to Hattori Heiji and said in a voice that only they could hear: “But Hattori-kun, you are not a policeman. It is not your obligation to reveal the truth. There are some things that you have to do.”
Kengo Akechi stared at Hattori Heiji, his kite-colored eyes shining with unknown meaning behind his lenses.He said in a calm and rational voice: “It is very unwise to insist on losing a more important person just to reveal the truth.”
