Chapter 63: Perishing in the Opera of Classical Music

The client's name is Tsujimura Kimie, the wife of a diplomat. This time she came to ask Mori Kogoro to investigate the character of her son's girlfriend.

Maori Kogoro glanced at the information provided by Tsujimura Kimie and was a little confused: "From the resume, she graduated with excellent grades and has a decent job. She is a very outstanding woman."

I couldn't tell anything from her resume, so Maori Kogoro asked, "Are you dissatisfied with her?"

Tsujimura Kimie hesitated: "No, it's just..."

At this time, Hattori, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't help but speak: "It's because she's too perfect that I can't stand it and can't help but want to find fault. Humans are such suspicious and jealous creatures, am I right, ma'am?"

Tsujimura Kimie's face suddenly turned ugly, and he asked Maori Kogoro in dissatisfaction: "Who is this child?"

Kogoro Mouri was very embarrassed and quickly made an excuse: "Sorry, sorry, he is my daughter's friend. Please forgive me for being a young man and not sensible." Then he glared at Hattori Heiji and said, "Don't say anything if you have nothing to do. What if you ruin my commission?"

Tsujimura Kimie didn't bother to pay attention to what a child said, and he stood up and said, "Okay, let's talk to my husband about the details when you get to my house."

Kogoro Mouri was a little surprised: "Going now? Wouldn't it be better for you two to come together at the beginning?" Isn't it troublesome to run around?

Tsujimura Kimie said impatiently: "Didn't I just say that my husband is a diplomat. If others see him coming to a place like this..."

"There will be a scandal, right?" Hattori Heiji interrupted again, then slammed the table and said, "Well, in that case, I'll go with you."

"What?" Kogoro Mori looked at Hattori Heiji in surprise, thinking, do you want to snatch my commission?

Tsujimura Kimie didn't say anything, but looked at Hattori Heiji coldly. What's wrong with this guy? He interrupted other people's conversations again and again.

Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets and walked up to the two of them, smiling confidently: "Instead of letting this uncle go alone, why don't we pretend to be father and son and go visit him? Wouldn't that be more natural?"

Yuya almost laughed out loud, this white and black "father and son"...

Tsujimura Kimie pondered for a moment, and thought that what he said made some sense, so he nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense, I'll leave it to you."

After saying that, she put on her sunglasses and turned to walk out the door, regardless of whether Kogoro Mouri agreed or not. She was a decisive woman.

Maori Kogoro looked at Hattori Heiji speechlessly, but he did not refute it because what he said did make sense. He just reminded him in a low voice: "You can go with me, but it's my commission."

Hattori Heiji said nonchalantly: "Of course, I won't compete with you for it."

Only then did Kogoro Mori feel relieved.

Hattori Heiji looked at Yuya and said, "Will you come with us?"

Yuya pointed at himself, a question mark appeared above his head, and his eyes couldn't help but drift to Conan.

Hattori Heiji raised his hat and said solemnly, "Since Kudo is not here, let's treat this incident as a competition between us."

Yuya curled his lips. He was not very interested in the duel with Hattori Heiji, but he agreed to go together.

Yuya has roughly recalled this incident, and it was actually a bad fate.

About 20 years ago, the current diplomat Tsujimura Isao set his sights on the position of the former diplomat and his wife, framed them using unfair means and sent them to prison, and took that position himself.

The former diplomat spent five miserable years in prison and eventually died unjustly in prison.

Kimie Tsujimura, the wife of the former diplomat, was completely unaware of the matter. After her husband was imprisoned, she entrusted her daughter to relatives for upbringing. Later, she was deceived by Tsujimura Isao's sweet words and married him.

Recently, Tsujimura Isao's son found a girlfriend and showed her photo to his father.

When Tsujimura Isao saw the person in the photo, he recognized her as the daughter of the man he had framed, and he firmly opposed them being together.

At first, Kimie Tsujimura thought her son's girlfriend just happened to look like her, but when she saw her husband's strange behavior, she became suspicious and asked him the reason.

Tsujimura Isao was also very careless and actually revealed the incident of framing the former diplomat.

It is obvious that Kimie Tsujimura still has feelings for her ex-husband. She is angry that Tsujimura Isao framed her ex-husband. In order to let her daughter be with the person she likes, she plans to kill her husband and finds Kogoro Mori as her witness.

When Youya was thinking back on this incident, he also remembered that the group had established a relationship with a diplomat, and that the method was also to get hold of the other party's handle.

However, this was done by his subordinates, so You didn't pay too much attention to it.

So he sent a message to ask, and it turned out that the man's name was indeed Tsujimura Isao, who was undoubtedly Tsujimura Kimie's current husband.

Isn't this too much of a coincidence? Yuya muttered to himself.

What should I do... Yuya was thinking, the group is in a critical period of expansion recently, this diplomat still has some value, it would be a waste if Tsujimura Kimie killed him here...

That's it, Yuya made a decision in his mind.

······

Conan, who had regained some consciousness, felt that his condition had gotten worse after drinking the special medicine, but he still dragged Ran Mouri along with him regardless.

He was a little worried that if he didn't watch, Hattori Heiji would say something.

Although Yuya is there, but... he has been acting like a joker recently, collecting his own dark history every day. Conan suspects that he will collude with Hattori Heiji to slander him.

Tsujimura Kimie originally didn't want to go with so many people, but after thinking about it, the more people there were, the more chaotic the scene would be, and his actions would attract less attention, so he reluctantly agreed.

The group arrived at Tsujimura's house in a mighty procession.

Kimie Tsujimura got out of the car, put the car keys into his bag, and walked towards the door.

But before he took two steps, he felt a pain in his foot and fell with a thud. Everything in his bag fell out, and he looked extremely miserable.

Maori Kogoro was startled, and quickly ran over to help her up, and asked worriedly: "Mrs. Tsujimura, are you okay?"

Mrs. Tsujimura rubbed her ankle and frowned: "It's okay, I just fell accidentally."

Yuya considerately helped her pick up the things and handed them over: "Mrs. Tsujimura, these are your things."

Mrs. Tsujimura quickly took the bag, checked the contents, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you." This young man is much better than the dark-skinned guy. He is handsome and polite.

The innocent black detective who was shot had just got out of the car.

Youya smiled and said you're welcome.

Tsujimura Kimie dusted himself off, opened the door and walked into the house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a young man and woman.

"Mom, you're back? Who are these people?" the man asked puzzledly.

"This is my friend Mori, his son and friends. They are here to visit your father today." Tsujimura Kimie gave a brief introduction, "This is my son Takayoshi Tsujimura."

At this time, the woman smiled and bowed: "Mom, excuse me!"

Tsujimura Kimie's expression changed, and he asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

Mori and others looked at each other and recognized that the woman was Katsuragi Sachiko, whom Mori Kogoro had commissioned Tsujimura Kimie to investigate.

Takayoshi Tsujimura put his arm around Katsuragi Sachiko's shoulders and explained with a smile, "I asked her to come. I saw that Dad was reluctant to meet her, so I forced him to agree. But he seems to have been in the study and has not come out. I guess he is angry with me."

Katsuragi Sachiko noticed a few people at the door and asked in confusion: "Mom, are these your friends?"

Tsujimura Kimie was shocked, but his expression became even colder: "What does it have to do with you? And I don't think you have the right to call me mom now."

Katsuragi Sachiko's expression became visibly sad.

Everyone looked at each other, but since this was someone else's family affair, they couldn't say anything more.

Kimie Tsujimura took a few people upstairs and met the elderly man of the family, Toshimitsu Tsujimura.

Tsujimura Kimie asked in surprise: "Ah, Dad, you haven't gone out yet?"

Tsujimura Toshimitsu laughed and said, "You came at the right time. I was just about to show you the big fish I just caught." Then he took out a piece of paper from behind and unfolded it. There was a picture of a big fish on it. "How about it? Is it big?"

Tsujimura Kimie laughed dryly and said, "It is very big. Please go to the Japanese-style room and wait for me. I will be there soon."

Tsujimura Toshimitsu nodded with satisfaction, then walked down the stairs slowly with his hands behind his back.

When I arrived at the study, I could hear classical opera playing inside, and the volume was turned up very loud.

Tsujimura Gongjie raised her hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response. She said to herself in confusion: "Strange, didn't Guishan say he was in the study?"

After knocking a few more times and still no response, Tsujimura Kimie had no choice but to take out the key from his bag and open the study door.

As soon as the door opened, you could see Tsujimura Isao dozing off with his chin on his hand on the desk opposite the door.

Kimie Tsujimura couldn't help but complain: "Husband, weren't you here? You didn't respond when I knocked on the door, and you turned the volume of the speaker so loud. It's really annoying." She said as she walked over.

The decoration in Tsujimura Isao's study is very grand. The bookshelves on both sides are filled with precious books and ornaments. There is a player on one side of the wall, playing classical opera melodiously.

Maori and others also followed him into the study, walked to the player and started watching.

"Is it classical music or opera?" Mao Lilan asked tentatively. If she were asked to talk about some karate power techniques, she might be able to recite them all, but it would be a bit difficult for her to appreciate classical music.

Maori Kogoro naturally didn't understand, and laughed dryly: "Is that so..."

Yuya stroked his chin: "It sounds like it's been a while. This diplomat actually likes..."

On the other side, Tsujimura Kimie walked towards the desk while complaining quietly: "Husband, don't sleep, the guests are coming." The others were commenting in front of the player and no one paid attention to the desk.

···A godsend opportunity.

A few seconds later, Tsujimura Isao was gently pushed by Tsujimura Kimie and fell sideways.

Everyone was discussing classical music in a serious manner. When they heard the voice, they turned around in surprise. Before they could see the situation clearly, they heard Tsujimura Kimie's anxious cry: "Husband, husband, what's wrong with you?"

Yuya frowned and rushed forward before anyone else. He put his hand on Tsujimura Isao's neck and frowned. "Dead?" There was a hint of surprise in his tone.

Tsujimura Kimie didn't believe it and continued to shake him vigorously: "How is this possible! Husband, wake up!"

Youye grabbed her hand and said in a deep voice: "It's no use, she's dead." "Stop shaking her hand, it would be so embarrassing if you woke her up."

Tsujimura Kimie's eyes widened, his whole body collapsed backwards, and he was completely stunned.

Then came the usual screaming... Oh, there was no screaming this time, because there were so many people around, Mao Li Ran didn't feel too scared, instead she skillfully called the police.

While waiting for Inspector Megure to arrive, Yuuya walked around the room, pretending to look for clues; in fact, he knew the crime modus operandi very well, and even had replaced the murder weapon in advance. Even Tsujimura Isao who fell to the ground was not really dead.

After his initial surprise, Hattori Heiji immediately got into the state, but this time was different from his usual case solving. While inspecting the scene, he couldn't help but pay attention to Yuya's movements.

He wanted to see how this high school detective, who had recently become famous and was showing signs of surpassing Kudo Shinichi, usually solved cases.

As a result, he was distracted for a moment, and when he was crawling on the ground to check a thin needle next to the corpse, he collided with another head with a "duang" sound.

Hattori Heiji touched his painful head and looked over, and found that it was the little brat named Conan, who happened to come over to check the thin needle.

Hattori Heiji stood up immediately after being startled, grabbed Conan by the collar, lifted him up, and threw him to Mao Lilan: "Really, what is this brat doing wandering around the crime scene!"

Mao Lilan quickly caught Conan.

Hattori Heiji complained: "Can you please keep an eye on this kid? How can you let a child see a corpse? It will scare him."

Conan nestled in Mouri Ran's arms with dissatisfaction, and complained in his heart: Thank you for not letting the children see the corpse. You are a very nice person.

Soon, Youya finished checking the room in a pretentious manner.

Inspector Megure also arrived at this time.

"Brother Kamiya, you are here too!" Inspector Megure immediately held Yuya's hand, "I'm counting on you this time too!"

With brother Kudo away recently, it has become much more difficult for Inspector Megure to solve cases. Fortunately, with the help of the new brother Kamiya, he finally avoided the fate of having to work overtime.

Hattori Heiji looked at the enthusiastic Inspector Megure in some astonishment, and thought to himself: When did detectives become so popular among the police?
