Pretending to Be a Good Person in the World of Conan

"..." Hattori Heiji couldn't stop his rush and almost tripped over the door.

He held on to the door frame to stand firm, and took a second to refresh his impression of Mao Lilan, and then he was shocked by the scene in the room.

——Okazaki Sumie lying on the ground with a dead eye, a knife with a wallet stuck in his heart.

Mao Lilan let out a scream that was not too loud. After all, she had seen too many dead people these days, and her immunity was temporarily improved.

Hattori Heiji and Conan were silent for a moment, then politely ran to the corpse and checked it briefly.

After confirming that the person was hopeless, they turned their heads at the same time and looked at the broken door.

Although the door was deformed by kicking, it can still be seen that it was locked from the inside before.

After seeing this clearly, the two ran to look at the window at the same time, and then their faces became serious and puzzled.

——When they knocked on the door outside, they checked the door by the way, and found that there was no trace of external damage on the door.

The doors and windows were locked, and there was another dead person in the house... This turned out to be a murder case in a secret room.

...No, it might be that the murderer is still hiding in this house!

Hattori Heiji just wanted to remind Mao Lilan to pay attention, when he saw the child next to him pull Mao Lilan first and told her this.

Hattori Heiji glanced at Conan, said nothing, found a mop to carry, and searched all the places where people could hide.

Yet no one at all.

After a short delay, Sakata Yusuke also went upstairs.

Surprised to see the dead body in the house, he called the police and told them that there had been another murder.

When he returned to the corpse, Hattori Heiji squatted down, ready to check again, but suddenly felt something under the coffee table.

He walked over suspiciously, bent down to take a closer look, and found an upside-down fruit bowl underneath.

It's not surprising that Okazaki Sumie doesn't like to tidy up the room, the house is very messy.

But the coffee table is very close to the scene of the crime after all, and perhaps there are some important clues hidden in the messy traces here.

Hattori Heiji cautiously borrowed a glove from Sakata Yusuke. He grabbed the edge of the fruit bowl, dragged it out, opened it, and found a cat lying underneath.

"?"

Hattori Heiji felt that the cat looked familiar.

But in his eyes, all the black cats in the world look similar, so he didn't think much about it, he poked and shook it again.

The cat didn't move.

"What's wrong?" Sakata Yusuke noticed the abnormality and asked suspiciously.

Hattori Heiji pointed to the ground: "Here is a dead cat, probably raised by Okazaki Sumie, who was killed together."

Most cats are more alert when they sleep. Domestic cats are fine when facing their owners, but when facing strangers, basically the cats will wake up and run away as soon as the person walks to the side.

So it was strange that the cat didn't respond.

Coupled with the fact that the temperature couldn't be felt through the gloves, Hattori Heiji subconsciously felt that it was already on a dog belt, no, meow.

When the two friends from Tokyo heard what he said, they leaned over to take a look, and their expressions all changed.

Chapter 252

Immediately afterwards, a heartbroken scream almost pierced Hattori Heiji's eardrums: "Black!!"

Mao Lilan picked up the cat, the tears in the corners of her eyes had already hung up.

However, when she touched it with her hands, she found that the cat was warm and soft, and Hattori Heiji even lied about the military situation.

After checking the heartbeat carefully, Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not dead yet, don't curse it!"

Hattori Heiji is not familiar with this cat, but Mao Lilan and Conan know each other.

Conan understood more deeply.

Although there are many black cats on the street, this cat is more recognizable than other cats - it looks like a black cat.

Why did it appear at the scene of the crime?

Countless possibilities flashed through Conan's mind, and his heart skipped a few times.

The worst outcome he could think of was that Kiichiro Numabuchi caught up with Shiraishi in the woods, and then used him to threaten the black cat to help kill people.

But soon, this possibility was ruled out by Conan.

Leaving aside Black Cat's unexpected methods, even if he was really threatened, in that case, it should be Black Cat who was threatened to become a tool man to kill.

But in fact, until Noyasu Kazuto was killed, only Kiichiro Numabuchi's fingerprints were detected on the knife.

So it should not be the case.

... It's not good.

As for the black cat's magic-like elusive method, if he really wants to change his career to kill, Conan doesn't know how to stop him, and where to stop him, it will be a disaster.

So, maybe the black cat is also looking for Shiraishi, so it also set its target on Numabuchi Kiichiro, and traced it all the way here?
