Even if Hattori Heiji loses, he will not admit that he has lost.

He is a child of destiny. Even though he is not as good as Kudo Shinichi, so what?

Hattori Heiji adjusted his facial expression, put on a forced smile, and waited for Kudo Shinichi to continue reasoning for them.

"You have to have evidence when you speak, otherwise your ladyship won't be convinced."

He acts like a big boss and is too cocky.

The lady was pointed out and looked like she was in a bad state. After hearing what Hattori Heiji said, she gritted her teeth and refused to admit it.

"Yes, you are slandering people without any evidence. If you dare to arrest people at random, I will sue you for defamation. My husband is a diplomat. The news of his death will definitely be reported in the news. If I am arrested, humph!"

Kudo Shinichi smiled simply and covered his heart with his hand.

There were waves of throbbing pain in the tip of his heart, and the pain kept squeezing him. Kudo Shinichi felt that his physical strength was draining away quickly, and a lot of sweat was oozing out of his forehead.

This feeling... is there any side effect of suddenly becoming bigger?

Kudo Shinichi thought to himself, and bent down to pick up the key that Hattori Heiji had thrown on the ground. When Hattori Heiji picked up the key just now to check it, he dropped it on the ground again.

If you don’t have a good attitude, you can’t be a detective.

Kudo Shinichi lowered his eyes and held the key ring in his palm, leaving only the key exposed.

"I will explain the evidence right now. Your Madam did not take out the poison needle in the study. That's because she had already taken out the poison needle, which was on the key. There are only two keys in the study, and your Madam has one in her hand, right?"

"When she walked into the study, she would take out the key to open the door. Normal people would not think that there was a poison needle hidden in the key she took, but in fact she did hide it, right under your noses, and she killed people right under your noses. This is a blind spot in thinking."

Kudo Shinichi kept opening and closing the key ring, and the knocking sounds continued. "The key ring of the deceased can be opened, just like mine. I believe your key ring must be designed in the same way. So, madam, please take out your keys and let everyone see them."

The lady's calm disguise was finally broken. When she heard Kudo Shinichi asking her to take out her keys, she couldn't help but step back.

She weakly defended herself, "It's not like that..."

Not this, but that?

Everyone is not blind and can see at a glance that she is guilty.

Officer Megure stepped forward to verify, "In that case, Mrs. Tatsumura, please take out the key."

"..."

The lady remained silent, clenching the bag in her hand.

She is a smart person. The fact that she can come up with a psychological counter-detective to commit a crime shows that she is not an ordinary person.

Now she had a premonition that the case was about to end and she was about to be arrested. Even if she rushed out now, would the surrounding police remain indifferent?

For the sake of her own dignity, the lady stood still, lowered her head and remained silent, allowing Inspector Megure to take the bag from her hand.

The outcome is a foregone conclusion.

Inspector Megure rummaged through his bag and soon found a key ring with the same design.

When he opened the key ring, he saw a strip-shaped groove inside, which looked like the place where the poison needle was placed.

Inspector Megure showed his findings to the people around him.

Kudo Shinichi nodded, "Yes, that's right, this is where the poison needle is placed."

"The lady used this to carry the poison needle inside, and then pierced the victim's neck when no one was paying attention, and then successfully poisoned him."

"The lady is the murderer. This is the most powerful evidence."

The lady's back, which had been straight just now, suddenly slumped and her face looked pale.

"Your reasoning is correct. I admit that I killed him."

As soon as she said this, the other family members of the deceased looked at her in surprise.

Inspector Megure waved his hand, and immediately his men came over with silver handcuffs.

This further proves that what your ladyship said was not an illusion.

The housekeeper exclaimed, "Madam has killed someone!"

Takayoshi Tsujimura was so furious that he wanted to rush up and beat her up, but was stopped by Inspector Megure.

"As soon as you see me, I know you have bad intentions. It's fine if you don't like Sachiko, but you actually dared to kill my father. I want you to pay with your life!"

Katsuragi Sachiko didn't have time to cry. She hugged Takayoshi Tsujimura's waist, holding him back to prevent him from moving, and cooperated with Inspector Megure.

She comforted him, "Guishan, calm down. Maybe Mom has some difficulties..."

"Yes, Mr. Takayoshi Tsujimura, please calm down and don't be impulsive. The law will make sure she gets the punishment she deserves."

"Bullshit, when I saw her mean face, I knew what kind of person she was!"

Takayoshi Tsujimura said as he waved his fist, almost hitting Sachiko Katsuragi. He felt that he had touched her and immediately felt guilty, "Are you okay, Sachiko? Did I hurt you just now? Does it hurt?"

Katsuragi Sachiko looked at the man's serious expression and smiled shyly, "I'm fine, Guishan, don't be impulsive. Everything will be arranged by Officer Megure. He will give us a satisfactory explanation."

Takayoshi Tsujimura held her hands tightly and finally controlled his anger.

Seeing that they were calmed down, Inspector Megure quickly left without disturbing the couple's sweetness.

"Kudo, I still have a mystery. Why do you think the lady wanted to kill her husband?"

Upon hearing this, Kudo Shinichi turned and walked towards the bookcase.

There, Jiang Chuan Shang had been standing against the bookcase for a long time, looking at a photo frame in his hand.

A few strands of hair fell down, covering the teardrop moles under his eyes and weakening his sharp beauty.

He had an elegant temperament, standing there with his long legs crossed, like a painting, blooming seductively and silently.

Only by waiting for people to discover him can his mysterious veil be slowly revealed.

His unpredictable nature is his bad behavior, and his unparalleled beauty attracts many men and women, which is his specialty in seduction.

What's more, underneath the mask is a more beautiful mask.

Tomie Kawakami's extreme beauty never looks feminine. Everyone who sees him will clearly realize that he is a man, a man with extremely good looks.

White, young and thin are all descriptions of men, and Kawakami Tomie is such a person. Even though he is tall and not childish, his indescribable beauty will weaken his sharpness.

It makes people feel that he is so easy to approach and within reach.

Actually... Kudo Shinichi doesn't know.

He stared at Egawakami for a long time, until Inspector Megure was about to say something, then he slowly raised his feet and walked towards Egawakami.

"Mind if I take a look at this picture?"

Kudo Shinichi said, his hand already grasping the other half of the edge of the photo.

Jiangchuan loosened his grip and let him take the album away, but when Kudo Shinichi was holding the album and was about to look up, he quickly reached out and grabbed his collar.

The two were facing each other, and this was a corner of a bookcase, so the people behind Kudo Shinichi couldn't see Egawakami's little movements at all.

But Kudo Shinichi didn't know, and he wasn't sure.

Being suddenly grabbed by the collar by Jiang Chuan Shang, he was suddenly panicked and a little nervous, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

He whispered, "What are you doing? Let go!"

While speaking, Kudo Shinichi grabbed Egawakami's thin wrist and tried to pull his hand away.

How could Jiang Chuan Shang let him do as he wished? No matter how slender his wrist was, it was still strong.

He pulled Kudo Shinichi towards him suddenly, and he took half a step forward.

Then he whispered, "You took my things and you want to leave like this?"

When Kudo Shinichi was pulled like this, he always felt that everyone behind him was looking at him, watching him being pulled into the arms of a man. For the first time in his life, he felt ashamed of being discovered and frowned instantly.

Helplessly, he said, "Let go and don't make trouble."

He gripped Jiang Chuan Shang's thin wrist with a little force, trying to pull his hand away again.

Jiang Chuan Shang laughed softly and let him pull his wrist away.

"I'm not causing any trouble. You took what was in my hand without my permission. I'm just asking for justice."

As he spoke with a sweet breath, Jiang Chuan raised his hand and placed his wrist horizontally in front of him.

"Look, you even hurt me, is that how you treat people?"

As he spoke, Jiang Chuan Shang reached out and pulled up the sleeve around his wrist, revealing a circle of slight scars.

This right wrist was the one that Kudo Shinichi had just pulled. It had thin and long bones, and each finger was incredibly beautiful. It looked two sizes smaller than Kudo Shinichi's hand.

The wrist of this hand was even thinner, and Kudo Shinichi could still remember what it felt like when he held it.

It's really too thin.

But now there is a circle of red marks on this wrist. Compared with the porcelain white skin next to it, the injury looks quite serious, as if it was bruised due to excessive force.

Kudo Shinichi originally wanted to say the words of reprimand, but he couldn't say them either. The words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

He clearly didn't use much strength, and he originally thought that Jiang Chuan Shang was faking it, but when he saw the scars, he regretted it.

This is too sensitive. It turns red when you pinch it lightly.

Jiang Chuan Shang looked at him with disappointment in his eyes and pushed him with his scarred hand.

"Since you can't even apologize, you should just handle your case and stop bothering me."

Said coldly, Jiang Chuan Shang picked up the book beside him, opened the folded page and started reading.

He has already read half of the book.

Kudo Shinichi watched his series of actions and realized that he was really ignoring him, so he spoke with a hoarse voice as he left home.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, nor did I mean to take the things from you..."

"..."

Jiang Chuan Shang was so engrossed in the description in the book that he didn't even glance at him.

Officer Megure urged, "Kudo, what are you talking to Advisor Kawakami about? Do you know why your wife did this?"

Kudo Shinichi turned on his toes in a half arc and said sincerely again, "I'm sorry, I'll find you some ointment after the case is over. Now I have to solve the case quickly."

Jiang Chuan Shang still ignored him.

Kudo Shinichi's hands holding the photo album kept tightening, and his eyes were always on Egawakami's face.

Finally, he turned and walked towards Inspector Megure.

Hattori Heiji stroked his chin, his inquiring gaze moving back and forth between the two of them.

Curious, he walked up to Egawakami and didn't even listen to Kudo Shinichi's reasoning.

"Hey, Counselor Tomie Kawakami, what did Kudo Shinichi say to you that makes you look so bad?"

Jiang Chuan didn't even raise his head, "It's none of your business."

"How come it's none of my business? I really care about you, Tomie-san."

"Slippery, please don't interrupt me while I'm reading."

Jiang Chuan Shang said coldly and turned to the next page.

"The motive for your ladyship's crime may be hidden in this photo album. Take a look."

Kudo Shinichi walked towards the crowd and handed the photo album to Inspector Megure.

Inspector Megure took the photo he handed over and wanted to look at it with Hattori Heiji, but when he looked up, he found that Hattori Heiji was gone.

When I looked up again, I saw Hattori Heiji standing in front of Egawa and talking.

"Humph, this guy who forgets his friends for the sake of a beautiful woman, just now he was angrily asking you to explain your reasoning, but now he runs off to talk to Advisor Kawakami. How rude."

Kudo Shinichi immediately turned around to look at where Egawakami was, and saw Egawakami chatting and laughing with Hattori Heiji with gentle eyes.

"..."

In silence, Kudo Shinichi clenched his fists, and the pain in his heart became even more severe.

There was a bloody smell in his throat, which he swallowed down.

Officer Megure's voice came from the side, "Brother Maori, come and look with me, see what you can find?"

Kogoro Mouri came over and looked at it with him.

The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. "Is this a photo of the deceased and the lady when they were young?"

Officer Megure nodded, "Yes, it should be. I just feel like something is wrong."

Inspector Megure thought about it, compared the photo with the lady, and then looked at Katsuragi Sachiko.

Puzzled, "Why do I feel that Miss Katsuragi Sachiko looks a lot like your lady when she was young?"

"Well, now that you mention it, I think so too. Could it be that this is why your wife became jealous of Miss Katsuragi Sachiko and commissioned us to investigate her? And because your wife felt betrayed, she chose to kill her husband."

"That may be the case."

The two people were discussing heatedly and loudly. When Sachiko Katsuragi heard it, she was stunned where she was.

Soon, with the comfort of Takayoshi Tsujimura, the two of them stepped forward and surrounded Officer Megure.

Katsuragi Sachiko noticed that the lady in the photo looked very similar to herself. "Oh, she does look like me. Is this my mother when she was young?"

Takayoshi Tsujimura quickly asked her to change her words, "Don't call me mom, baby, she is the murderer who killed dad!"

Katsuragi Sachiko hesitated, "But..."

"No buts. She has treated you like this. Don't feel sorry for her anymore. It's useless. I know you are kind-hearted. Just use your kindness elsewhere. She doesn't need it."

Sachiko Katsuragi looked back blankly, with deep pity in her eyes.

Kudo Shinichi also stood there in a daze, staring straight at Jiang Kawakami. From beginning to end, he did not receive even the slightest glance from Jiang Kawakami.

"..."

It's so lively around me, why do I always feel like I'm falling into an ice cellar?

Kudo Shinichi didn't know that he had always been slow, otherwise he wouldn't have missed Mouri Ran.

He felt his heart ache even more, and everything he swallowed tasted sour.

How could this happen? Are the side effects of changing back so serious?

Kudo Shinichi was daydreaming when he was interrupted by a distressed female voice.
