Hattori Heiji's smile deepened and he continued, his eyes full of arrogance and conceit.

"If that's all you want to say, then I'm probably what you call pretentious. So why change? Isn't it good to be yourself?"

Jiang Chuan Shang took his hand back, his tone cold, "It's good to be yourself, but please don't overstep your bounds. No one likes a child without manners."

Hattori Heiji's smile gradually disappeared, and his eyebrows raised, "How am I impolite? I went to visit Uncle Mori's house, but I brought a gift with me, and now I'm apologizing to you. I'm very polite, okay!"

Jiang Chuan Shang just wouldn't listen.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the corpse on the ground.

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri came to the study again with Inspector Megure and Madam Nobu.

Soon, the first crime scene was circled out, and Inspector Megure stood next to the body, accepting the information that came in.

Egawakami and Hattori Heiji had to settle for standing next to Mori Kogoro, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

Hattori Heiji listened patiently to Inspector Megure's narration, his eyes still fixed on Egawakami.

Jiang Chuanshang let him peek and tried his best to reduce his presence.

The plot of the diplomat being murdered begins.

"The deceased's name is Tatsumura Isao, he is 54 years old... There happened to be a detective at the scene where the body fell." Inspector Megure said, and his scrutinizing eyes immediately fell on Mouri Kogoro who was standing next to him.

Maori Kogoro was called and immediately saluted, "Yes, yes, I am Maori Kogoro."

Inspector Megure looked at him and was speechless at his exaggerated actions.

He turned his gaze and looked at the river beside him.

"And a consultant..."

Jiang Chuan Shang smiled and nodded like a vase.

Inspector Megure shifted his gaze to Kogoro Mouri, his eyes almost rolling out of the sky.

He stared at Maori Kogoro and said in a serious tone: "Brother Maori, this is a murder case, right?"

He used a positive tone, as if he had already determined the nature of the case.

However, Kogoro Mouri did not understand what Inspector Megure meant at all and continued to explain on his own.

"Ah, well, I don't see any obvious injuries on his body, maybe it's a murder case..."

Hattori Heiji on the side couldn't bear it any longer. He was ignored again and again, and finally couldn't help but interrupt their conversation.

"Uncle Maori, please look carefully. This is clearly a murder by poison!"

Hattori Heiji's words stunned everyone present, especially Kogoro Mori and Inspector Megure.

They all looked at the deceased and began to observe him carefully.

At the same time, Conan, who had been in the arms of Ran Mouri, was about to speak, but Hattori Heiji's sudden interruption made him choke on what he wanted to say.

He didn't even have time to speak.

Conan muttered to himself: This Hattori Heiji is really impatient.

However, he was right, this was indeed a case of poisoning.

Hattori Heiji didn't hear anyone teasing him, as he was proudly explaining his discovery to Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori.

"Look, there is a small red dot on the right side of the deceased's head, at the edge of the hair root. That is the mark left by the needle hole. Apart from that, there are no other wounds. If you search carefully, you can find an iron needle next to the body. That may be the murder weapon."

"At the same time, the deceased's body was holding his face with his hands before he fell to the ground. He had been sitting at the desk. I suspect the murderer must have poisoned him first, and then used his body to make this pose as a disguise."

Maori Kogoro couldn't help but retort, "Maybe, this is a suicide case?"

Hattori Heiji looked at Maori Kogoro with a confused look, "Don't you understand yet? The dead man's body is right in front of us. The purple on his lips is so obvious, and there is also purple on the tips of his hands and feet. If you just open his eyelids, you can see spots of blood overflowing from his conjunctiva."

"These are all evidence of suffocation, but there is no evidence that the deceased was strangled, and there is no possibility of drowning. Therefore, the most likely possibility is poisoning."

Hattori Heiji continued, "In other words, the murderer paralyzed the victim's nerves by poisoning him, and the poison he used was some kind of poison that takes effect immediately. In addition, the victim was still warm when he fell to the ground, and there was no sign of stiffness or cadaveric lividity. This means that the victim died very close to the time of his death, within 30 minutes before we entered the study."

"Since the murder was completed in such a short time, it means that the murderer is nearby. The murderer probably hasn't had time to escape from this house yet."

Hattori Heiji explained his reasoning in a clear and logical manner, and glanced at the people around him, trying to identify the murderer through clues in their facial expressions.

Unfortunately, after looking around a few times, he couldn't see anything. He only saw that everyone in the family had a sad look on their faces, and the lady was holding back her tears and sobbing softly.

Inspector Megure was very excited. He thought what he heard was very reasonable and turned to ask Kogoro Mouri.

"Brother Maori, who is this young man? Why is he with you?"

Maori Kogoro was sweating and scratched his head. "He...his name is Hattori Heiji, he is a very arrogant young detective..."

Arrogance is really arrogance, okay!

Kogoro Maori complained silently.

Officer Megure suddenly realized what was going on. He looked at the arrogant high school detective and said his name, "Hattori Heiji... So it's you. I've heard of you! You must be the son of Hattori Heizo, the current summer chief of the Osaka Police Department. You're currently in high school."

Maori Kogoro was also surprised. He didn't expect this arrogant guy to have such a strong background. "He is actually the son of the chief of the Osaka Police Department?!"

Ran Mouri was holding Conan and she also heard the conversation between her father and Inspector Megure. They did not avoid anyone.

The person being talked to was standing leisurely aside, waiting for Inspector Megure's praise.

He is so confident and so bright when he tells the stories of detective cases, and he is also a high school detective.

At one point, he really looked like Shinichi.

Because Kudo Shinichi is the same, always passionate about solving cases, and he talks eloquently and confidently when explaining them, and he is still a high school detective.

It's a long-lost feeling of familiarity, but it also makes people feel a little disgusted for some reason.

Ran Mouri was watching Hattori Heiji explain his reasoning from beginning to end, and she almost burst into tears and her nose was sore.

At this moment, she couldn't even tell what she was feeling.

Is he missing Kudo Shinichi or does he simply not want to see him?

She is looking at Hattori Heiji, but who is she looking at?
