    Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Recording

    Hattori Heiji was stunned.

    No one has ever said this to him, ‘Losing more important people in order to reveal the truth’…

    Hattori Heiji couldn’t help but look in the direction of Toyama Kazuha.The girl who was her childhood sweetheart was chatting with her friends, and from time to time she showed a bright smile that made people blush and heart beat.

    Which is more important, He Ye or the truth, is a question that does not require thinking. The truth of any case will not be more precious than He Ye’s life. However, that is not the case now!

    ——Although it’s like being cursed to encounter an accident every time I want to confess.

    “But, I am a detective!” Hattori Heiji said matter-of-factly, “It is the duty of a detective to find out the truth.”

    “Detectives are not police officers. It is the duty of the police to solve the case, not yours.” Kengo Akechi said, “Does Hattori-kun think that we can’t solve the case if you are not here?”

    “A detective’s duty is to find out the truth.” Edogawa Conan glanced at Hattori Heiji, remembering the past of so many failed confessions by good brothers, and also advised him, “If Heiji brother goes to confess now, the case here will be handled by me… Mr. Akechi is here, there will be no problem.”

    “That’s not the case.” Hattori Heiji said seriously, “If I leave now, I can’t help but think about the case in my mind when I confess to Kazuha. This is disrespectful to Kazuha.”

    The young man who came from Osaka specifically to confess was embarrassed and scratched his cheek with his fingers. His dark skin was faintly red: “I…I want to give Kazuye a perfect confession. I will say that to her wholeheartedly and openly after solving the case!”

    Akechi Kengo looked at Hattori Heiji with his iris-colored eyes, and showed a sincere smile: “Then I wish you… a successful confession next time.”

    Hattori Heiji, who was originally high-spirited, suddenly fell down when he heard the word ‘next time’.

    Edogawa Conan patted Hattori Heiji’s leg comfortingly and said innocently: “What Heiji-nii said just now is very handsome. Sister Kazuha will definitely be very touched if she hears it.”

    Hattori Heiji: I suspect Kudo is laughing at me, although there is no proof.

    Mingzhi Jianyu said kindly: “I have a recording. If you want, I can make a copy for you.”

    Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan both opened their eyes in shock.

    Hattori Heiji stammered and asked: “Why, why is there a recording?!”

    “Recently, the Metropolitan Police Department wanted to promote the trial of body-worn body cameras, so I brought them over today.” Kengo Akechi took out the compact body-worn camera from his pocket under the disbelieving gazes of Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan. “But because there was no explanation in advance, I didn’t take it out, so there is no video, only audio recording.”

    “…Delete it, delete it immediately!” Hattori Heiji looked like he was about to vomit his soul, and his whole body was about to break.

    Edogawa Conan couldn’t bear to look at him.

    “…Heiji, what’s wrong with you?” Toyama Kazuha’s voice came from far away. The girl looked at her childhood sweetheart in confusion and asked worriedly, “You look very uncomfortable.”

    “No!” Hattori Heiji sat up in shock while he was dying, and said lively, “I’m fine, Kazuha, don’t worry about me! I…I was talking to Mr. Akechi about the case!”

    “Oh.” Toyama and Ye nodded unbelievingly, but when they saw that Akechi Kengo, who looked very reliable, also nodded in agreement with Hattori Heiji’s words, they still chose to believe this elder in the police community. “Then you can slowly solve the case. Xiaolan, Sonoko and I are going to rest first.”

    “Okay, okay, you go ahead!” Hattori Heiji felt his heart bleeding as another opportunity to confess slipped away.

    But the most urgent thing is,

    “Delete! Mr. Akechi, delete it immediately!” After Toyama and Ye and the others left the room, Hattori Heiji immediately danced and urged Akechi to take action.

    “But I have to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department to operate it.” Akechi Kenwu said, “This cannot be deleted outside.”

    Hattori Heiji was completely petrified.

    Edogawa Conan suppressed his laughter and said, “There’s nothing we can do about it, Brother Heiji, the law enforcement recorders were originally designed to restrict police behavior. Wouldn’t it be troublesome if they could be deleted privately outside? You should be lucky that Mr. Akechi has the authority to delete them.”

    Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth and said: “If he doesn’t have this authority, he can’t bring this thing out!”

    Akechi Kenwu pushed up his glasses and said with a smile: “Actually, it doesn’t matter if you keep the file. Generally speaking, no one will go out of their way to find a recording.”

    Hattori Heiji:……

    He said sincerely: “I’m sorry, I said the wrong thing. Please be sure to delete the recording for me when I return to the Metropolitan Police Department.”

    “Ah, of course there is no problem.” Akechi Kanwu kept smiling, “It is illegal to keep recordings that are not related to the case.”

    Hattori Heiji gave Akechi Kengo a confused look. After he left to go to the Kenmochi Police Department to inquire about the case, he squatted down and complained to Edogawa Conan: “Is this the new section chief of the Investigation Division?”

    Edogawa Conan nodded matter-of-factly: “The thirty-five-year-old police officer is the elite among the elite.”

    “I think so.” Hattori Heiji said angrily, “As annoying as that Hakuba, no, this guy is even more evil than Hakuba!”

    “You really have a deep grudge against Hakuba.” Edogawa Conan complained.

    The two chatted for a while and then focused their attention on today’s case.

    Hattori Heiji asked seriously: “Kudo, what do you think of today’s case?”

    “Don’t call me ‘Kudo’.” Edogawa Conan reminded him again helplessly, “Mr. Akechi is not that easy to fool.”

    Hattori Heiji thought of the difficult police officer: “Ahem! I understand, Conan. Do you think this case was committed by Mr. Wakamatsu’s enemies?”

    Edogawa Conan shook his head cautiously: “If Mr. Wakamatsu has any enemies that he hates so much, his family should not know anything about it, and…”

    Hattori Heiji answered in agreement: “And if you want to kill someone in a dark space, it should be someone who is very familiar with the family.”

    At this time, Suzuki Sonoko opened the door of the living room and looked around the living room.

    When Edogawa Conan saw her, his eyes narrowed and he said to Hattori Heiji: “Hattori, I’m going to leave for a moment and go to the bathroom. You go to Mr. Akechi and ask if there are any new clues.”

    “Ah? Ko…Conan?” Hattori Heiji looked at Edogawa Conan’s back in confusion and scratched his hair, “Go to the bathroom…” But he didn’t want to go to that annoying police officer alone at all!

    The door to the living room was closed. Edogawa Conan looked at Suzuki Sonoko standing outside the door and asked doubtfully: “Sister Sonoko, didn’t you go to rest?”

    “I’m a little worried.” Suzuki Sonoko said, “Conan, have you found any clues?”

    “Not yet. According to the police investigation, Mr. Wakamatsu should not have any enemies who want to kill him. The suspects are currently among the five family members in the villa.” Conan Edogawa’s original childish voice suddenly dropped, “So, do you have any clues to provide, Ke, De, sister, sister?”
