Chapter 66 Kudo Shinichi's tactics
Isao Tsujimura was very confused. He felt like he had just had a nap, but not only did he see a lot of unfamiliar people in the room, but even the police came.
What made him doubt his life even more was that he just... died?
Hattori Heiji poked Yuya: "Hey, what's going on? How did you perform the autopsy just now?"
When the man fell to the ground at first, You judged that he was dead. He didn't doubt it at the time. After all, he was a famous detective. It was impossible that he couldn't tell whether a person was dead or not, right?
So we only observed some external symptoms of the "corpse" and did not check too carefully whether the person was dead or not.
What happened? They just caught the murderer, and then suddenly, the dead man came back to life? (Spreading hands)
You also had an expression of doubt about his life: "I've checked, he was already dead and had no pulse at that time." This person was quite cooperative, and he woke up at the perfect time.
Inspector Megure looked at the forensic doctor and asked, "What's going on?" It's fine if Brother Kamiya can't see it, but why can't you, a professional forensic doctor, see that the person is not dead?
The forensic doctor was also completely confused. He hurried over to check on Tsujimura Isao, and his expression suddenly became strange.
"The deceased... No, Mr. Tsujimura's pulse was very weak, his heart rate was very low, and he was suffering from the sequelae of asphyxiation and shock... His condition just now was a case of suspended animation." (I'm just making this up, don't dwell on it)
"Fake death?" Inspector Megure's mouth twitched. He had handled so many cases and seen so many corpses, but this was the first time he encountered a fake death.
The forensic doctor coughed lightly and said, "The current inference is that the dosage of the poison was not lethal enough, which led to false death. Further examination is needed for details."
I couldn't help but secretly glance at Yuya. It was all this detective's fault. He trusted him too much. Plus, since an autopsy would be performed for a detailed examination afterwards, the forensic doctor didn't take a close look like Hattori Heiji, and just recorded some characteristics of the body.
I have only heard of such things, but I didn't expect to encounter them in person today.
Although the matter was a bit absurd, it was a good thing that the person was not dead, and everyone quickly accepted it.
But for Isao Tsujimura, this may not be a good thing.
Although twenty years have passed since the incident and a lot of evidence may have disappeared, if we look into it in detail, we will definitely be able to find some illegal and criminal activities. The rest of Tsujimura Isao's life is completely over.
The later years of Tsujimura Toshimitsu, who assisted the tyrant in his evil deeds, would not be much better.
The person is not dead, but Tsujimura Kimie cannot escape the charge of attempted murder. The specific sentencing depends on how it is decided. If Tsujimura Isao chooses not to pursue the case, perhaps he can be given a lighter punishment or even acquitted?
This depends on the relationship between Tsujimura Kimie and her son and daughter-in-law. If necessary, You can also let his subordinates do it and it won't be a big problem.
In addition, before Tsujimura Isao is finished, his surplus value must be squeezed out, and by the way, they can take this opportunity to support someone who is more beneficial to them to come to power.
After all, one should not put all eggs in one basket, and they have more than just a relationship with Tsujimura Isao.
Hattori Heiji walked up to Kudo Shinichi, looked him up and down, and said, "Kudo, you weren't at the scene the whole time, but you actually saw through this murder in a closed room?"
Seeing that he just revealed Tsujimura Kimie's motive for committing the crime, it is obvious that he, like Yuya, has seen through the truth of this case.
Kudo Shinichi smiled weakly: "I also heard it from that kid Conan, cough cough cough." He started coughing violently.
"Hey, are you okay?" Hattori Heiji was a little nervous. He was coughing so hard that he was about to cough out his lungs, right?
"I'm fine." Pushing away Hattori Heiji's supporting hand, Kudo Shinichi looked at Mouri Ran, who had been staring at him with a look full of longing since the beginning.
Hattori Heiji wanted to say something but Yuya came over and pulled him away.
Brother, don't you see the atmosphere? Is this the time for you to interrupt? Youye rolled his eyes at him.
Hattori Heiji was completely confused.
"Shinichi, where have you been all this time?" Mao Lilan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She didn't know if it was because she was scared just now or because she was happy to see Kudo Shinichi.
Kudo Shinichi smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that I have been dealing with a few troublesome cases recently and I really can't spare the time. Besides, I did call you."
Speaking of this, Mao Lilan got angry: "You also said that you didn't ask about my situation when you called..."
Kudo Shinichi was speechless. This was indeed his negligence, but he had already made up his mind that the first thing he would say when he called in the future would be to ask about Mouri Ran's recent situation.
"But Hattori said that you have been secretly observing me from a close distance. Is that true?" asked Ran Mouri.
Kudo Shinichi smiled awkwardly: "I guess so." He did observe it, but it was done openly.
Mao Lilan sighed, but she also knew Kudo Shinichi's character, so she thought for a moment and asked, "Then Shinichi, are you going to leave after you come here this time?"
Kudo Shinichi was stunned. He didn't know whether his transformation back was an accident or for some other reason, but he had a feeling that this time wouldn't be too long and he might transform back in the next second.
Hmm? Kudo Shinichi suddenly felt a chilling gaze. He turned his sight and saw Maori Kogoro looking at him with gritted teeth, Yuya who was desperately pulling him from behind him, and Hattori Heiji who was helping him. When did Hattori Heiji get involved? Was he so close to Yuya?
Thinking of Yuya's "education", Kudo Shinichi coughed lightly, pulled Mao Lilan to the corner to avoid the sight of others, and whispered: "Xiaolan."
Mao Lilan felt a little uncomfortable, and her heart became inexplicably nervous. She subconsciously lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
Kudo Shinichi coughed a few times and said, "I'm really sorry, those cases are too troublesome, I can't come back in a short time, so..."
Mao Lilan's mood suddenly became depressed: "Is it really that troublesome? Why don't you ask Yuya for help? He is so much better than you..."
Kudo Shinichi was suddenly unhappy: "Who wants to ask that guy for help..." Besides helping, he can only collect his black history, okay? And am I weaker than him? !
Seeing Mao Lilan's surprised expression, Kudo Shinichi realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly said: "No, what I mean is that Yuya also has his own things to do, and this is my own case, how can I trouble him?"
Mao Lilan said "oh". She knew that Kudo Shinichi had a strong self-esteem, so she stopped trying to persuade him.
Kudo Shinichi felt a little sorry when he saw Ran Maoli's sad look. Thinking of the plots in some soap operas that Yuya forced him to watch, he gritted his teeth, reached out and held Ran Maoli's hand. In her surprised eyes, he whispered: "But don't worry, just like Hattori said, I have always been paying attention to you."
Ran Mouri's face turned red instantly, and she looked around hesitantly, not knowing what to say. If this was an animation, Ran Mouri would definitely have turned into a steam princess.
Finally, he stammered, "Well, that's fine. You better be careful!"
Kudo Shinichi, who had taken the initiative, smiled and nodded: "I know."
Seeing Mao Lilan suddenly become shy, Kudo Shinichi was surprised. It turns out that the plots in soap operas are not all lies? Girls really buy into this...
Yuya, who was secretly observing this scene, nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Conan's emotional intelligence also returned after he turned back, and his father's teachings over the years were worth it.
It seems that Conan will have to watch more soap operas, romance dramas and the like in the future. You see, isn’t this routine successfully grasped?
Click, click! At the same time, the camera in his hand did not stop for a moment, faithfully recording the scene of the two people looking at each other affectionately.
···
Just as Kudo Shinichi was about to continue speaking, he suddenly felt his heart tighten, as if it was being tightly grasped by a hand. Then it began beating violently again, and his whole body felt as if it was in a furnace, and his bones seemed to be melting.
"Shinichi, Shinichi, what's wrong with you?" Ran Mouri hurriedly went to help him.
Oh no! Kudo Shinichi thought to himself, this feeling is exactly the same as when he just turned back into an adult. Is he going to turn back?
No, Xiaolan is still here, I can't let her see me turning back into Conan.
Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi covered his violently beating heart and wanted to go outside: "I, I'm going to the bathroom."
Mao Lilan hurriedly supported him: "Shinichi, do you really just have a cold?" He looked like he was about to die from a terminal illness.
Yuya looked at Kudo Shinichi and knew that he would soon change back, so he quickly walked over and took him from Mao Lilan: "I'll take him to the bathroom."
Mao Lilan hesitated: "But..."
Youya raised an eyebrow at her: "Then you take him?"
Seeing Yuya's teasing eyes, Mao Lilan didn't know what she was thinking of, and her face turned red again: "No, no, then I'll leave it to you."
Yuya nodded and quickly dragged Kudo Shinichi, who could hardly walk, to the bathroom.
"I..." Kudo Shinichi grabbed Yuya's arm and was about to say something when he felt a piercing pain sweeping through his body. He opened his mouth and was about to scream.
Youye's eyebrows jumped, and he quickly covered his mouth, strangling the sound in the cradle.
Kudo Shinichi opened his blurry eyes and looked at Yuya, his eyes full of resentment: You guy...
Then, in front of Yuya, Kudo Shinichi once again performed the magic of transforming a living person, slowly shrinking from a 17-year-old high school student to a 7-year-old Conan.
Yuya couldn't help but exclaim: "Even after watching it once, I still feel that this scene is very magical!"
Conan, who has turned back, lowered his eyes and looked at Yuya with contempt: "It's my blessing to have you by my side."
Yuya laughed and rubbed Conan's head vigorously.
Conan was now completely powerless and could only let Yuya ravage him with his dead eyes drooping.
Yuya threw Conan's clothes to him and said, "Hurry up and change them, otherwise it will be difficult to explain if you run into Xiaolan later."
Conan held the clothes in his hands and was a little surprised: "Did you know that I would change back?"
Yuya answered as a matter of course: "Isn't it obvious? Although I don't know the reason, it's very likely that your immune system is active because of your cold, and it happened to react with some ingredient in Lao Baigan to make you bigger. This is not a proper antidote, so it will definitely not last long. Fortunately, you didn't change back in front of others, otherwise it would be terrible."
Conan said as he put on his clothes with great effort, "You know a lot."
Youye spread his hands: "I'm just guessing."
Conan:...
