    Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Emotional Problems

    After leaving the hospital, Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan found an excuse to leave Toyama Kazuha and Maori Ran, and went to Dr. Agasa’s house to meet up with Haibara Ai, another actor who contributed his acting skills.

    Toyama Kazuye and Mao Lilan took it for granted and went shopping with Suzuki Sonoko without any nostalgia.

    Hattori Heiji asked uneasily: “Did you say he believed it, Ko…Conan?”

    “You’d better get used to this title quickly, Hattori.” Edogawa Conan said with a headache. “Fortunately, the person who heard it this time is Mr. Akechi. If he is from the organization…”

    “I know, I know!” Hattori Heiji agreed hastily and solemnly promised, “I will definitely not forget it this time.”

    Edogawa Conan looked at him suspiciously.

    “Really, I promise!” Hattori Heiji pointed to the sky and swore, “I will definitely change my words! Not to mention when there are outsiders, even if it’s just one of my own, I will only call you ‘Conan’.”

    “I hope so.” Edogawa Conan deliberately looked dubious, which inspired Hattori Heiji to make up his mind to impress his friends.

    The two walked into Dr. Ali’s house, and Haihara Ai was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee.On the coffee table in front of her were Kudo Shinichi’s mobile phone and bow-tie voice changer.

    “Thank you, Haibara.” Edogawa Conan took the phone back and put the bow-tie voice changer back on his collar.

    Hui Yuan Ai asked: “Did you hide it?”

    Time goes back to the moment when Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai just heard ‘Kudo’ in the audio.

    The two anonymous children turned pale.

    Edogawa Conan subconsciously pressed the pause button.The darkened computer screen reflected the panic-filled faces of the two children.

    Haibara Ai looked at Edogawa Conan and said nervously: “He found out.”

    “Don’t panic.” Edogawa Conan thought, “Not sure, he just heard Hattori call me that, maybe…”

    He looked at Haibara Ai’s expression, smiled bitterly, and swallowed the luck, and said with reason: “Normally no one would guess that a seventeen-year-old high school student would become a seven-year-old elementary school student. Maybe Mr. Akechi just has suspicions. Just let Kudo Shinichi and Edogawa Conan appear at the same time as before to cover up this matter.”

    Haihara Ai frowned and reminded: “Kudo, don’t forget, he is also the target of the organization now. Kudo Shinichi must not appear next to him.”

    Edogawa Conan became more determined as he spoke: “You don’t need to appear next to him, just use your voice like before. If he investigates, he will find that Kudo Shinichi and Edogawa Conan have appeared several times at the same time.”

    Hui Yuan Ai said cautiously: “He is not your sister Xiaolan.”

    It is impossible to deceive Akechi Jianwu using the same tricks as Mao Lilan.

    Edogawa Conan plausibly said: “I know, so the whole plan must be more careful. He doesn’t know APTX4869, and he doesn’t know Kudo Shinichi.”

    Hui Yuan Ai looked at him for a while, then sighed helplessly: “What do you want to do?”

    Edogawa Conan said while thinking: “The sooner this matter is resolved, the better. It cannot be delayed until Mr. Akechi is discharged from the hospital. I will ask Hattori to help, and then in the name of visiting the doctor…”

    “Are you sure he is here to help?” Haibara pointed at the audio displayed on the computer screen, “If he accidentally blurts it out again, it won’t matter how many times you let Kudo Shinichi appear.”

    Edogawa Conan rubbed his forehead and defended his friend guiltily: “Hattori is still very reliable when he is doing business.”

    Haibara Ai then asked: “Is it too deliberate to ask Hattori to visit the patient just after receiving the recording?”

    “Hattori originally wanted to say thank you and visit the doctor, but now it’s just a little earlier.” Edogawa Conan’s eyes fell on the USB flash drive, “Mr. Akechi reminded me specifically, and he probably wanted a reasonable explanation.”

    Now that the three people’s performance was over, Edogawa Conan looked at Haibara Ai with worried eyes in front of him, and answered in an evasive manner: “Don’t worry, Haibara, it went well.”

    Hui Yuan Ai looked at him deeply, wondering if she believed what he said.

    Edogawa Conan winked at Hattori Heiji.

    Hattori Heiji understood the situation and said emphatically: “Don’t worry, little sister, our performance will be flawless.”

    Hui Yuan Ai closed her eyes.

    Hattori Heiji:?

    Edogawa Conan suppressed a smile and persuaded: “Well, Hattori really didn’t go wrong today, Haibara.”

    Hattori Heiji felt sorry for himself: “My acting skills are also very good. Don’t look down on me, little sister!”

    Haibara Ai coldly exposed his self-confidence: “When did you perform well?” How can a person who is exposed by Toyama and Ye every time he wants to play Kudo Shinichi believe that his acting skills are good?

    “Uh…” Hattori Heiji thought hard and said confidently, “I performed very well on the boat during the full moon!”

    The three of them all remembered the showdown with the black organization under the full moon. Haihara Ai’s heart softened, but he still reminded: “Fortunately, he caught the handle this time. If it were someone else…”

    “It’s okay, Haibara, isn’t it okay for such a long time?” Edogawa Conan comforted her, “Most people won’t believe such outrageous things as rejuvenation.”

    “That’s right, that’s right!” Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement, “Ko…Conan is right!”

    Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai looked at him sideways: The person here who is least qualified to say such a thing is you.

    Haibara Ai said decisively: “You should all stay away from that policeman recently, and don’t go to the hospital anymore.” She looked at Edogawa Conan and warned worriedly, “You should also be more restrained when solving cases in the future.”

    “Don’t worry, Mr. Akechi, as the head of the Investigation Section 1, will not always appear at the crime scene.” Edogawa Conan paused and said thoughtfully, “Is there any way to use this opportunity to fish out more people in the organization?”

    Hattori Heiji was eager to try.

    Haiyuan Ai said: “Go and discuss with the neighbor.”

    A small identity crisis passed.

    Akechi Kengo gave the recording to Edogawa Conan, basically saying that he would give me an explanation.Now Edogawa Conan came up with a reasonable explanation, and the confrontation between the two smart people ended.

    There is no need for Kengo Akechi to take off his Edogawa Conan vest.As Edogawa Conan said, Akechi Kengo didn’t know what the relationship between rejuvenation, APTX4869 and the organization that wanted to kill him was.

    “Such a thing really happens.” Zhu Fu Gaoming said with emotion, “It’s like a fairy tale.”

    “Yeah, it’s incredible.” Akechi said.The performances of Edogawa Conan and Hattori Heiji are somewhat useful in the eyes of the two keen detectives, but not much.

    Logically speaking, such a performance can indeed dispel the suspicion of Edogawa Conan = Kudo Shinichi – but sometimes being too perfect can be a problem.

    Zhu Fu Gaoming remembered the scene when everyone was chatting this afternoon.For Edogawa Conan and Hattori Heiji, the important thing was the phone call from Kudo Shinichi.

    But for them, what matters is the information revealed when chatting with them.

    Zhufu Gaoming said with a complicated expression: “Jianwu, your grasp of emotions is getting more and more acute.”

    Edogawa Conan could find someone to pretend to be Kudo Shinichi, but he couldn’t hide his emotional tendency towards Maori Ran.

    Mingzhi Jianwu looked at Zhu Fu Gaoming, with a rare look of helplessness on his face: “No, even I have no way to deal with emotional problems.”
