In the study, the light shines softly, illuminating every corner of the room.

Hattori Heiji concentrated on studying the clues in his mind and pieced them together one by one.

He frowned slightly, his eyes gleaming with determination, and began to explain his reasoning:

"Based on the situation and clues at the scene, I believe the murderer is Mr. Li Guang!"

As he spoke, Hattori Heiji pointed at the deceased's father, Mr. Toshimitsu.

Mr. Toshimitsu immediately widened his eyes and looked at Hattori Heiji in disbelief: "What? How could it be me?"

Hattori Heiji smiled slightly and continued: "The evidence is in my hands."

He held up the fishing line and showed it to everyone: "This fishing line is exactly the tool used by the murderer when committing the crime. And you, Mr. Li Guang, have been in the Japanese-style room before, and we all saw it with our own eyes. It is entirely possible that you put the key back into the deceased's pocket through this fishing line."

"Besides, since you like fishing, it won't be difficult for you to have such a special fishing line."

At this time, Jiang Chuan Shang walked in slowly, and when he heard these words, he stopped and stood quietly at the door.

Just standing there, his casual movements were beautiful.

Everyone was still listening to Hattori Heiji's reasoning, but they unconsciously glanced towards the door and showed concerned looks to Egawakami.

They seemed to be asking: Why did this beautiful consultant go out? Is she feeling unwell?

But no one dared to speak in front of him, they only asked questions in their hearts.

Hattori Heiji had his back to Egawakami and could not see who was coming to the door.

He was confident that he could identify the murderer quickly and solve the case before Kudo Shinichi arrived.

This way, he would be able to surpass him, and no one would compare him to Kudo Shinichi anymore.

I don’t know where this kid Kudo Shinichi has gone. I haven’t seen him yet.

Could it be... that he was running away from the battlefield?

That's really great. Tomorrow's headline can add "Kudo Shinichi deserts the battlefield". It's perfect.

Hattori Heiji thought beautifully and had already imagined the scene of readers rushing to read the newspapers tomorrow.

Just as he was about to say the following reasoning, he paused as if he had realized something, turned his head and looked behind him, and met Jiang Chuan Shang's dim gaze.

"?"

There is a big question mark next to Hattori Heiji's big head.

Egawakami was touched by the cute scene. He nodded to Hattori Heiji, chuckled, left the door and walked towards Mouri Ran.

He said righteously, "I'm sorry to bother you all, this case is very important, please solve it as soon as possible."

When he came to the corner and stood side by side with Mao Lilan, everyone slowly withdrew their gazes with a little regret.

Seeing this, Inspector Megure hurriedly tried to smooth things over and rekindle everyone's enthusiasm:

"Okay, everyone, don't think about anything else for now, let's hear what Detective Hattori Heiji thinks about the conclusion that 'the murderer is Mr. Toshimitsu'!"

Hearing this, Kogoro Mori snorted in disdain.

Hattori Heiji forced himself to remain calm, trying to calm his thoughts that were surging like the tide. He puffed out his chest in a nonchalant manner and continued with what he thought was perfect reasoning.

"Mr. Li Guang, we met on the stairs. Just before we entered the study, your wife asked you to wait in the Japanese-style room next door. It was during this opportunity that you committed the crime."

As he spoke, Hattori Heiji handed the fishing line to Mr. Toshimitsu and said sarcastically, "You must think that what you did was perfect, but you are totally wrong. I found this fishing line in the trash can in the Japanese-style room. It is the most powerful evidence."

"Isn't that right, old man?"

Mr. Li Guang looked at the fishing line so close to him and a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He seemed to have thought of something, and finally lowered his head tremblingly. Hattori Heiji just thought he was guilty of being exposed.

Mr. Li Guang's hair has turned gray. At this moment, he lowered his head and his eyelids drooped.

He admitted, "…yeah, I did it."

Inspector Megure and everyone else were stunned for a moment. They never thought that it was a father who killed his son.

Hattori Heiji looked towards Egawakami with pride.

I won, did you see that?

It’s a pity that Kudo Shinichi was not there, I couldn’t see his expression of defeat.

Hattori Heiji thought about it and felt extremely satisfied.

He turned to look at Inspector Megure, and was about to ask him to arrest the murderer.

At this moment, the study door was pushed open again, and the door hit the wall with a dull bang, like a thunder, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Hattori Heiji was interrupted for the second time, feeling somewhat annoyed. He casually looked towards the source of the sound, forgetting what to say.

There was only one reason why he was so surprised, and that was that the person standing at the door was Kudo Shinichi.

The missing Kudo Shinichi finally appeared, but he didn’t look like little Conan.

How did he do it? Was I wrong to doubt it?

In just a moment, many thoughts popped up in Hattori Heiji's mind, and his expression became a little blank.

Kudo Shinichi didn't care how shocked Hattori Heiji was. He looked around the crowd and finally found Egawakami.

When he saw that next to Egawakami was Mori Ran, Kudo Shinichi still didn't dare to face her. He hurriedly withdrew his gaze and looked at Hattori Heiji, who was the center of attention.

He listened a little outside the door, and after hearing Hattori Heiji say that Mr. Toshimitsu was the murderer and Mr. Toshimitsu admitted it, he finally couldn't help but stand up.

He walked towards Hattori Heiji, casually smoothed his bangs, and spoke with great aura, "I am also a high school detective. I believe you all recognize my face. I am Kudo Shinichi."

"Then what I am going to say when I interrupt you is that Mr. Toshimitsu did not kill anyone at all. He is not the murderer. This detective Hattori Heiji's reasoning is wrong."

Hattori Heiji immediately lost his composure and looked at Kudo Shinichi with unfriendly dark blue eyes.

"How could he not be the murderer? My reasoning is obviously correct!"

Kudo Shinichi waved his hand and took a few steps towards Mr. Toshimitsu, avoiding the emotional Hattori Heiji.

"Mr. Toshimitsu, you are simply lying. You even managed to trick Detective Hattori Heiji from Kansai, which shows that you are a pretty good liar."

Kudo Shinichi praised, but then changed the subject and began to mock.

"After all, this Kansai detective only has this much brainpower, and it's not his fault that he wrongly accuses an innocent person."

Hattori Heiji was so angry that his face turned several shades darker, but unfortunately his skin was dark to begin with, so it was even harder to see.

He yelled, "Kudo, please speak reasonably and don't slander others without any evidence."

When Inspector Megure saw Kudo Shinichi appear, his jaw almost dropped in surprise.

He hadn't seen Kudo Shinichi for a long time. It was such a coincidence that he met him in this place today.

Fortunately, Kudo Shinichi came. Kudo Shinichi is a famous high school detective from Kanto. If he joins this case, he will definitely be able to defeat Hattori Heiji.

Inspector Megure thought happily and smiled unconsciously. No one paid any attention to Kogoro Mouri at all.

Mao Lilan was next to Jiangchuan, and she also saw Kudo Shinichi. Her eyes lit up for a moment, and then her expression suddenly became lonely as if she had thought of something.

Hesitantly, she withdrew her gaze and hid her expression in the darkness, her eyes like blue lakes filled with sadness.

The most lively thing about Mao Lilan is her eyes. The way she looks at people seems to be able to speak. At this moment, tears are slowly accumulating in her eyes, and she looks so pitiful as if she is about to let them fall but can't.

But she didn't cry. Under her pretending to be strong, it was raining inside her.

She saw it all.

It can be seen that Kudo Shinichi is not shrinking into Conan’s appearance now, but his original appearance.

In other words, Kudo Shinichi actually had a way to change back to his original form, but he still stayed by her side pretending to be a child, hiding his true feelings and not saying anything.

Then why did you come to me in the first place?

What are all the worries I have every day...?!

Mao Lilan roared in her heart, and her sorrow flowed like a river.

Jiang Chuan Shang sighed beside him. He looked at the blue aura emanating from Mao Lilan and knew that she was sad again.

If I had known earlier, I should have beaten Kudo Shinichi in the bathroom. Stepping on him would have been the least of my worries.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan Shang moved closer to Mao Li Ran.

He can't stand seeing girls cry, even though girls are the cutest creatures in the world.

Female competition should not happen to them and be labeled. I don’t know which vicious guy came up with this rubbish word.

It's obviously a very good thing for girls to help each other, but there are always people who have nothing better to do than to be jealous.

Do we have to wait for a disaster to happen, or for us to face women's issues together, before we unite and stop engaging in female competition?

It's simply heresy.

Jiang Chuan Shang has traveled through too many worlds and seen too many vicious female characters who have no choice but to do things, and he feels deeply sympathetic for them.

When he travels through the strategy, he will also make them wake up and see the true nature of the scumbag.

And what follows is that Jiang Chuan Shang trains the scumbag, and finally tortures him physically and mentally.

Such a person is worthy of being the male lead, Jiang Chuan Shang is simply shameful to the extreme.

This is also the reason why he can't stand the protagonist. He has been sharpening his knife too many times.

Coming to the small world of anime for vacation, it was purely accidental that I felt like killing someone.

Jiang Chuan Shang thought in a whimsical way, pursed his lips and walked to Mao Lilan's side.

At this moment, Mao Lilan was lowering her head sadly. She was very small, and with her head lowered, Jiang Chuan Shang couldn't see what her expression was at all.

But he was very good at coaxing girls. He just snapped his fingers and a rose without any thorns appeared in his hand.

This bouquet of roses is a little different from the last one. It is blue, and there are bright spots of starlight on the petals, as if stained with stars.

In the corner, the blue rose is flickering its faint light.

Holding the beautiful rose, Jiangchuanshang bowed slightly, performing the gentlemanly gesture that only ancient Western aristocrats would perform, and placed it in front of Maoli Ran.

"Don't be sad, the blue Rhine will always bloom for you."

The blurry eyes of Mao Lilan were illuminated by the beautiful blue fluorescent light.

She squeezed her eyes, holding back her tears, and then she could see clearly what was shining in front of her.

It was a rose, a blue rose, and its petals were actually dancing with light, as if under a spell.

It's a similar hue to her eyes, but the rose is a little bluer.

Mao Lilan stopped crying and even looked at the roses in front of her with a bit of confusion.

The blue rose is extremely beautiful, but not as beautiful as the hand holding it.

That hand belongs to Teacher Tomie Kawakami. Only he could have such a pair of fingers that are as delicate as works of art.

Only he could take care of my emotions so gently and look at me with tenderness and generosity.

When the simple-minded Mao Lilan meets his gaze, she always has the illusion that she is the most special.

Same now.

This kind of speculation often made her blush and her heart beat fast. In the past, because she thought that she liked Kudo Shinichi, she should not look at other men, so she never thought about it much.

But now, she doesn't like Kudo Shinichi anymore. Since Kudo Shinichi chose to deceive her and hasn't even given her any explanation until now, she no longer wants to like him.

So……

For some reason, Mao Lilan blushed even more.

She raised her head tremblingly, and as expected, she met Jiang Chuan Shang's gentle gaze.

"Mr. Tomie Kawakami..."

Mao Lilan called softly, and immediately changed the way she addressed Kawakami Tomie.

Her sad mood disappeared without a trace.

Maybe when she meets Kudo Shinichi later, she will never be sad again.

With the example of Egawakami, who would still like that hypocritical scumbag Kudo Shinichi?

This also means that Mao Lilan has finally gotten rid of the bitter love between her childhood sweethearts.

Jiang Chuan Shang seemed unable to notice her changes and still maintained his gentle expression.

The beautiful hand was raised, and the blue rose in the hand was placed in front of Mao Lilan again.

"Take it, appreciate it, cherish it, the flower will bloom soon."

This sentence has a very meaningful meaning, and I don’t know if Mao Lilan understood it.

Regardless of whether she understood it or not, Mao Lilan finally accepted the blue rose.

When her fingertips touched Jiang Chuan Shang, she jumped shyly.

Jiang Chuan Shang curved his eyebrows and smiled sincerely.

"Don't be so reserved with me, Miss Lan. Aren't we friends? Just treat me as a friend."

Mao Lilan felt a little disappointed when she heard this.

Just friends?

She thought, and quickly convinced herself.

A gentle man like Tomie Kawakami, with his top-notch appearance, is hard to pursue at first sight. Calling her friends is already a way of bringing them closer.

You shouldn't feel lost.

Mao Lilan adjusted herself and nodded quickly.

"Uh, yes, we're friends, I'm just... just a little..." shy, that's all.

Mao Lilan couldn't say the remaining four words.

Seeing this, Jiang Chuan Shang chuckled again and comforted her.

"Don't be so shy, I'm not that scary."

"..."

Mao Lilan held the blue rose but finally lowered her head shyly.

Jiangchuankami wanted to say something, but he heard Kudo Shinichi calling his name.

"Counselor Tomie Kawakami, please come over here for a moment. I have something to confirm with you."

Jiang Chuan Shang stood up in confusion and looked at Kudo Shinichi who was speaking with a cold look.

Because of his loud shout, almost everyone looked over here, and Jiang Chuan Shang became the center of attention again.

Jiang Chuan Shang who wants to paddle:...

It's better to kill him with a knife.
