"suicide?"
Conan looked at the noodle bowl in front of the dead young man. Although he said that he had suffered some changes due to the impact just now, he could still see that the young man seemed to like to save the stewed pork side dish in this signature noodle dish for later. The last type to enjoy.So it can be seen that this young man left his favorite part at the end except for the marinated eggs and noodles he asked for before he died. This kind of behavior is completely opposite to the emotion of a person who wants to commit suicide. .
What's more, very few people would choose this kind of lively specialty noodle shop as the place to commit suicide. Although a detective should try to reduce guesswork, it is still extremely necessary to judge and reasonably speculate on the behavior of the deceased before death.Therefore, Conan can be said to have quickly ruled out the possibility of the other party committing suicide.
At present, the biggest suspects are the two men in black who may have known the deceased, and Conan himself is just a little boy who just happened to appear in the store, so he pushed his glasses, Then he looked at An Ran in front of him and said: "Whether it is suicide or homicide, it is a matter for the police, so it is better for us to wait here until the police uncle arrives."
"However, if the two uncles are willing to say something related to the deceased, it may reduce the workload of the police uncles a lot." Conan continued to say this with a smile, and his expression looked very innocent. look.
However, for some unknown reason, Conan was very wary of Anran and Shuten-douji from the very beginning, so even though they both looked very young, Conan still used The title "Uncle" can't help but seem a bit mischievous.
"That..." At this time, the noodle shop waiter who was standing aside suddenly came out.An Ran immediately recognized that round-faced girl as the waitress who served their table just now, and from the way she chatted with the deceased, it was obvious that she knew the deceased, and even knew the identity of the deceased.
"These two gentlemen should have nothing to do with this matter. After all, when Mr. Ishisaka came to the store today, the two gentlemen had already finished serving the food. Later, because there were really no vacant seats in the store, Mr. Ishisaka would Temporarily share a table with two guests." Regarding the matter of table sharing, the most clear thing is naturally the waiters who have been paying attention to the guests, so now she can prove the relationship between An Ran and Shuten-douji in the first place. Innocence and irrelevance.
In other words, the relationship between these two guys and the deceased is completely stranger?Conan frowned, and wondered why he hadn't noticed any clues about this before. Could it be that the other party had a very suspicious look, which made him immediately think that the other party was related to this murder?
After the waiter kindly testified for himself, An Ran, who knew nothing about Conan's thoughts, showed an extremely innocent smile, and then still did not give up the purpose of establishing a good friendship with this pseudo-elementary school student, with the intention of coaxing the children He said in a calm tone: "I didn't expect such a child to play detective games with a good look. Why don't we come and get to know each other?"
"I'm really sorry!" Before Edogawa Conan could say anything to An Ran's picture of "kidnapping children", Mao Lilan had already walked up from behind, and said to An Ran and the others apologetically, "This child just likes Playing detective games, but sometimes his reasoning will indeed bring some great help to my father, so he just wants to help. I am really sorry for causing such a misunderstanding before."
"It's okay." An Ran shook her head, "No one would have thought that such a thing would happen just because of delicious food."
"Conan, hurry up and apologize!" In the eyes of Mao Lilan, who has a more straightforward personality, An Ran has a good personality. Even if he is considered a suspect, his attitude towards children is still very gentle, and he is a good person at first glance.
"I'm sorry." Edogawa Conan was also unwilling to continue to show his character that didn't fit the seven-year-old boy in front of Mo Lilan, so he also apologized to An Ran and Shuten-douji, but he still maintained his vigilance in his heart.
After all, Conan listed them as suspects when he didn't know about the relationship between An Ran and the deceased at the beginning, because almost everyone in the store showed panic and surprise when they found out that the young man was dead. There are only these two people... even though they are sitting opposite the corpse, there is no change in expression on their faces, and the shorter young man didn't even forget to finish the leftover noodles in his bowl.
Such a performance would be suspicious even if judged by the three-legged cat detective Mori Kogoro. Now, although the relationship between these two people and the deceased has been temporarily ruled out, Edogawa Conan still feels that these two people are by no means ordinary people. , especially when he appeared near him in black, he had to be on guard.
It's a pity that Conan's sense of the mysterious black organization is not as strong as Haibara Ai, so he can only be more vigilant in every detail of life.
But Conan thought about it, and asked another question deep in his heart: "Don't you feel hot in the store dressed like this?"
An Ran was stunned for a moment, then remembered the reason why the other party would ask such a question.
After all, it is cold winter now, Anran and Shuten-douji's clothes look very ordinary when they are outside, and there is no sense of disobedience compared with the pedestrians on the street.But now the two of them are sitting in the shop. In order to let the customers forget the cold in winter, the noodle shop has turned on the heating to the fullest, enough for everyone to take off their warm clothes and enjoy the shop easily. gourmet food.
However, An Ran and Shuten-douji, who were not affected by the cold and warm, just sat in the store with a calm face in thick suits and thick scarves, which seemed a bit abrupt.After all, if it is a normal person, wearing such a suit and staying indoors at such a temperature, it is estimated that his face will be flushed with heat, and he could not resist taking off his coat and scarf long ago.
Thinking about it this way, An Ran felt that it was not unreasonable for them to be suspected by Conan. Maybe it was because he had been separated from the ordinary human society for too long, and he would always forget how to be ordinary in some details.
Because of the influence of those inference TV series and movies for a long time, when the police arrived at the noodle shop quickly, An Ran secretly praised their efficiency.At the same time, the corresponding ambulance personnel arrived, but as Conan said, the poison in the young man's body was very violent, so even if the ambulance personnel arrived, there was nothing they could do.
After all, it is a work that has been serialized for decades, so An Ran thinks that she should have an impression of several police faces that often appear.But after seeing the real person, An Ran really doesn't remember the corresponding names of these police officers because the memory is really long. She only thinks that the tall and thin young police officer in the lead and the fat young police officer next to him are definitely from the works. Famous characters who have lived.
"Takagi." Sure enough, as soon as the policemen came in, Conan and Mori Ran greeted them, and Mori Kogoro greeted him familiarly, "I'm really sorry, I have to trouble everyone again."
"No, this is just a matter of our duty." Police officer Takagi sent his colleagues to investigate the deceased, while looking helplessly at the trio of Mori Kogoro in front of him, he suddenly muttered, " It might be impolite to say that to the deceased, but seeing Mori-san here is not surprising at all."
When he said this, Officer Takagi still lowered his voice, and only his friends around him could hear what he muttered clearly.
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro, who couldn't hear what Officer Takagi was saying, could only look at another fat officer with a puzzled expression, "Officer Chiba, what did Officer Takagi say just now?"
"No, it's nothing." Although he quickly denied it, Police Officer Chiba had to admit that the Metropolitan Police Department had always acquiesced in private that the reason why "Sleeping Kogoro" became famous so quickly had nothing to do with his special physique that often bumped into cases. are closely related.
Compared with detectives, the police handle cases in a much more orderly manner, and almost every step has its own explanation, so after step by step, the police recorded the contact information and names of all the staff and customers in the store, and then except Except for the waitress who was familiar with the deceased, and the two witnesses, An Ran and Shuten Doji, the other customers were allowed to leave the store.
After the relevant personnel removed the corpse, Officer Takagi began to take notes for An Ran and Shuten Doji in the room behind the noodle shop, while Mori Kogoro and the others were also allowed to stay in the room because of their dual identities as detectives and witnesses. Participate in the recording work.After all, Mori Kogoro and Conan have helped Takagi and the others solve many cases, so it can be said that they, the police, hope from the bottom of their hearts that they can still solve this case quickly.
"We don't know anything about the identity of this young man, we only know that he seems to be a regular customer of this store, and his expression looks very happy when eating noodles, it seems that he really likes the signature noodles of this store. "
Facing the police's questioning, An Ran still honestly told what he saw and felt.Although she doesn't know which aspect of herself makes Edogawa Conan wary of herself, but An Ran feels that she still needs to show the side of a law-abiding citizen so that things won't get worse.
"That's all. We really don't know anything about other things." Naturally, Shuten-douji would not want to add anything. His ability to ignore strangers is even several times stronger than that of An Ran. At this moment Maybe he couldn't even remember whether the dead one was a man or a woman.
And...Looking at the human policemen in front of him, Jiu Tun-douji snorted coldly in his heart, if it wasn't for An Ran's presence, how dare these human beings let Dajiangshan Ghost King answer all his questions?Back then, the food he fed his pets was much higher than these guys.
"Well... According to the procedure, we still have to record the identities of the two of you. May I ask if you have any relevant documents to show." After recording the transcript and making sure that neither of them has any other clues to tell, Officer Takagi proceeded One last procedure.
However, if some secret means are not used, An Ran and Jiu Tun-douji seem to be regarded as absolute black household registrations in this world, and it is impossible for them to have their identities in any country.However, if he wanted to act in front of these police officers at this moment, it seemed that he had to worry about Edogawa Conan and the others who were waiting on the sidelines.
"We have just returned from abroad, so we haven't had time to apply for the relevant documents. After the necessary procedures are completed, we will send the copies to the Metropolitan Police Department immediately. What do you think of the police officers?" Although even I feel that my proposal Somewhat suspicious, but in this situation, An Ran has no other better excuse.
Fortunately, Officer Takagi and the others were not as vigilant as Conan, so after confirming that An Ran and Shuten Doji were not suspected of a crime, Officer Takagi quickly believed what they said and just asked them to record Your address, name and contact information.However, when Police Officer Takagi believed what he said, and wrote down his name and contact information, An Ran's eyes flashed a icy blue light...
In order to avoid more trouble, some small tricks are well worth it.But the excuse that An Ran said, in the eyes of Conan Edogawa's children, seemed even more suspicious and suspicious.
After An Ran and Shuten Doji left, Conan walked up to Police Officer Takagi, and asked with a request: "Officer Takagi, can you show me the records of the two big brothers?"
Because of his previous cooperation in the case, Officer Takagi had an inexplicable trust in Conan. He didn't even see the strange eyes of his friend Officer Chiba, so he directly handed over the two transcripts to Conan.It's just that what Conan is really interested in is not the content of the transcript, but the address and contact information of Anran and Shuten-douji also recorded on it.
There are also two other names that seem a bit weird at first glance...
"Officer Takagi, are you sure these two names are their real names?" Looking at the two names "Anran" and "Shuten Doji", Conan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, if the names they recorded were " Yamada" or "Nakamura", maybe Conan will give up, but what's the matter with such a strange name?
"Hey, these two names are..." Police Officer Takagi seemed to be seeing this transcript for the first time, with a surprised expression on his face, "Obviously just now..."
"What happened just now?" Conan quickly asked, but if he really wanted Officer Takagi to tell what he saw just now, he looked completely puzzled.
Seeing Takagi's bewildered expression, Conan still put the transcript aside. After all, according to his reasoning, those two weird guys really have nothing to do with this case, and they really want to solve this case. For the case, it is useless to rely on his current status as a child or Mori Kogoro, and he still needs help from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Thinking of this, Conan silently memorized the addresses of Anran and Shuten-douji in his heart, and then suddenly put on an innocent expression of a child, pointed at the belongings of the deceased that had been put aside with an extremely exaggerated tone, and said : "Ah, uncle, the fingertips of the glove seem to be a little strange!"
Sure enough, in the next second, whether it was Officer Takagi or Mori Kogoro, their attention was attracted by Conan's words.
……
A few days later, newspapers and TV news broadcast the truth about the murder in the noodle shop that day.The poison that caused the death of the deceased was indeed hidden in the glove that the deceased carried with him.After the deceased took off his gloves, he used his poisoned fingers to pick up his favorite marinated eggs, but in the end he lost his life.
The identity of the murderer was also quickly revealed under the investigation and tracking of the police, and this time the famous detective who is said to have provided important clues and has been featured in various reports is still the famous "Sleeping Kogoro" ".
Under the case, Edogawa Conan, who really hides his merits and fame, is pestering Mao Lilan at this time, hoping that he can get permission to go out.It's just because Conan's reason for wanting to go out is really strange, so Mao Lilan didn't agree for a long time.
"Do you really want to go to those two gentlemen?" Although he was relieved that Conan didn't go there secretly, but informed himself in advance, Mao Lilan still couldn't understand why Conan would attach so much importance to the two strangers. What about people?
What's more, the last time I saw Police Officer Takagi, he specifically mentioned that both of them had sent the relevant identification documents to the Metropolitan Police Department, and they had indeed just come here from abroad.One of them has such a Chinese name because he is from China.And the other red-haired one is actually a mixed-race child who grew up abroad, and his identity certificate has a lot of unfamiliar English names, but he just chose such a strange and easy-to-remember name for the convenience of life in Tokyo.
"Don't worry, I will go with the doctor and the others." Conan also told Xiaolan about it because he thought it might take a long time for them to go there, and hoped that she would not worry too much. "After all, I really felt sorry for the two brothers last time, so it's better for me to go there specially, and there happens to be a very delicious self-service barbecue restaurant near the two big brothers' homes, and we are planning to go to have a big meal. Meal."
"So, this is your real purpose, right?" Mao Lilan put her hands on her hips, looked at the smiling Conan, and then shook her head helplessly, "Really, no matter what, you can't be too troublesome Dr. Ali and others! Remember to come back early.”
"Got it, sister Xiaolan, you don't have to wait for me for dinner tonight!"
After getting Mao Lilan's permission, Conan left the house quickly.When he went downstairs, Dr. Ali's car had already parked on the side of the road. The small car was filled with members of the Detective Boys and the fat Dr. Ali. It could be said to be seriously overloaded.Fortunately, An Ran and the others lived not far from the Maori Detective Agency, only a few streets away, so a group of people arrived at their destination not long after squeezing in the car.
Originally, the apartment building where An Ran and the others lived had a very complete security system. The door needed to be opened by a corresponding password or fingerprint, or by the owner through a video call device.But when Conan and the others arrived downstairs in the apartment, someone happened to come out of it, so Conan asked Dr. Ali to take the rest of the Boy Detective Team to the self-service barbecue restaurant to wait.Then, Conan and Haibara Ai quickly passed through the opened door, took the elevator and headed towards the top floor.
The sound insulation effect of the apartment building should be really good, but...maybe in this world, there are countless coincidences encountered by Conan, so when the two children reached the top floor, they found that the door of Anran's house was not closed. Instead, a slit was opened. Although it was not enough for Conan and the others to see the scene in the house, it was able to allow them to hear some sounds coming from the house.
"Yanyanluo, how about watching a movie together today? We sang together yesterday, but it was confiscated for a while, and the neighbor downstairs came here to blame the master. It is really our negligence." A gentle female voice came first, It should be someone other than An Ran and Jiu Tun-douji, but it's just that the friends of those two people like to name some monsters?
"Hmph, annoying human beings!" A somewhat unpleasant female voice came next, and what the voice said next really surprised Conan and Haibara Ai, "If it really doesn't work, just kill them all!"
Maybe it was a joke.Haibara Ai thought for a while, then turned her head and said such words to Conan with her lips.After all, even when he reached the door, Hui Yuan Ai didn't feel any clues or aura belonging to the black organization. If it was just an ordinary person with the second illness, it would not be surprising to say such a thing.
Then in the next second, a voice belonging to a young man came, and said in an impatient tone: "Oh? Who are you going to kill? After so much tempering, it's time for Xiaosheng to help the master solve problems. As long as it's not a digging task, Xiaosheng can do it!"
Can't help but kill?Also responsible for digging holes and burying corpses?Because the gap is too small, some words cannot be heard clearly, so Conan captured such information.In Conan's view, do these guys really want to kill and bury other people because they complain about the noise?
Even Hui Yuan Ai was a little surprised when he heard the voice coming from the door.Can't help urging Conan to leave here quickly, if the other party is really such a murderous organization, their danger and madness may be more terrifying than the black organization who doesn't know where it is!So when encountering such an existence, relying on their two children's physiques who have no fighting ability at all, there is nothing they can do!
However, just as Conan and Huiyuan Ai were about to leave, there was the sound of something heavy being slapped on the wall from inside the door, and then another strange male voice said: "You guys are chatting here, have you considered going outside the door?" What do the two guests think?"
"Big Tengu, you bastard!"
Just when Conan and Haibara felt nervous because they were discovered, all the sounds inside the door disappeared in an instant, as if no one in the room existed.Then, the door that was only opened a crack was pushed open, and An Ran, who was only wearing a sweater and trousers, appeared at the door, smiling and looking at the two fake children at the door.
"Long time no see, little detective." An Ran made an invitation gesture to Conan and Hui Yuan Ai, inviting them to enter the room.
Hui Yuanai probed into the room a little bit, and then saw that there was no one in the living room inside, and there was no sense of excitement that they heard outside the door.If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Hui Yuan Ai would have thought that someone was throwing a party inside.
"What's the matter?" Seeing the hesitation of the two people, An Ran also knew that they had heard the conversation of the Shikigami before, and since they couldn't hide anything, the best way was to change the topic, "Could it be that the two of you are coming here, Aren't you looking for me?"
"Then excuse me." Conan and Haibara Ai looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then walked into the house.Looking around, Conan can see that this is a very particular residence. Although according to the information obtained by the Metropolitan Police Department, the two people are only tenants here, but such a large space is still too big for two people...
If there are only two people, do we really need to live in such a large space?
With such doubts, Conan and Hui Yuanai walked into the living room, and found that there was indeed no one here.It's just that there are various photos on the wall and in every corner of the living room. There are two people, An Ran and Shuten Doji, and there are also many people dressed in strange clothes. Their expressions are very relaxed and happy. They should be very good friends. .
"Ah, is this... the cosplay?" Conan studied the contents of the photo and could only come up with such an understanding.
And An Ran also looked at the group photos of them and shikigami on the wall, and responded, "Maybe, but it's also possible that they are real monsters!"
Conan and Huiyuan Ai naturally didn't take what An Zong said seriously, they just took it as a joke, but after confirming that there was no one hiding behind the curtains in the living room, they pretended to ask innocently: "Uncle Are you playing hide and seek with your friends?"
"Hide and seek?" An Ran spread out her hands and said with a look of incomprehension, "Little detective, did you find any mysterious clues in my house?"
"Nope! It's just that my uncle's house is very beautiful." Conan looked like a child again, poking his head over there, and then suddenly heard a movement coming from a certain place, and looked over quickly, but saw the wine Tun Tong was wearing a bathrobe, and while wiping his wet red hair, he came out of the bathroom, and after noticing Conan's gaze, he gave a terrifying look...
"I...we are here to apologize for what happened before." Conan has seen big storms and many heinous criminals, but Shuten-douji's eyes are indeed full of murderous intent, which made Conan and Haibara couldn't help but take a step back .
"That matter, we have seen the result of the case from the news before, and I heard that Mr. Maori found a very important clue, he really deserves to be a detective." When An Ran said these words, the bottom of her heart Li was a little sad, after all, he still had no clue about that weird sealing reward task, so he couldn't help but look at Conan with extra concentration.
It would be an easy task if he could follow the famous route of Mori Kogoro.After all, it can be seen from this poisoning incident that An Ran really doesn't know anything about these killing methods of human beings, let alone reasoning.
It's just that An Ran and Conan don't know that there are some difficult cases in this world that only non-humans can solve.
"It seems to be almost noon." An Ran glanced at the wall clock in the living room, and then looked at the two little detectives who were standing in her living room looking around, so she suggested, "I heard that there is a very good restaurant down there." Self-service barbecue restaurant, how about going to have lunch together? Let's treat."
Conan and Haibara: "..."
So, a quarter of an hour later, in the newly opened self-service barbecue restaurant near An Ran's apartment building, among the two booths at the front and back, Dr. Anran, Shutendouji, Conan and Haibara Ai were sitting.
"Well, Mr. Shuten Doji, may I ask if you two are traveling to Tokyo, or are you settling here?" Because An Ran's "person" looks easy to talk, but he is good at diverting topics, so Conan is going to start from that person, although he occasionally looks at him. It's a bit scary, but its personality is not clear yet, and it even started with a red-haired man with a weird "alias" like "Shuten Doji".
"Travel." When Shuten-douji replied, his tone was very stiff, but his movements quickly put the few pieces of barbecued meat that he put on for Anran before into the bowl in front of Anran, and then continued to put the meat on the barbecue.
"I heard that my uncle is of mixed race. Where did we live before? We have never been abroad! What kind of occupation do you do? I always think that the two uncles can do everything! Are they photographers? Artists?" Conan, who learned everything from his father in Hawaii, and went to other countries to get involved in the case, said innocently.
"..." Jiu Tun-douji really felt that the detective's acting skills in front of him were a bit horrible, so he said seriously, "Actually, An Ran and I are both monsters. I was a ghost king for a long time before coming here. I have led many times of Hundred Ghost Night Walks, and I can say that I am very experienced in this area. If the little detective has a suitable job, I can introduce one or two."
"..." Conan suddenly realized that this guy seemed to be worse than An Ran, so he could only twitch the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "Haha, it seems that uncles should be artists who are everywhere."
After the awkward conversation ended, the atmosphere fell into silence for a while.Then the next second, there was a scream in the self-service barbecue restaurant...
Conan looked at the noodle bowl in front of the dead young man. Although he said that he had suffered some changes due to the impact just now, he could still see that the young man seemed to like to save the stewed pork side dish in this signature noodle dish for later. The last type to enjoy.So it can be seen that this young man left his favorite part at the end except for the marinated eggs and noodles he asked for before he died. This kind of behavior is completely opposite to the emotion of a person who wants to commit suicide. .
What's more, very few people would choose this kind of lively specialty noodle shop as the place to commit suicide. Although a detective should try to reduce guesswork, it is still extremely necessary to judge and reasonably speculate on the behavior of the deceased before death.Therefore, Conan can be said to have quickly ruled out the possibility of the other party committing suicide.
At present, the biggest suspects are the two men in black who may have known the deceased, and Conan himself is just a little boy who just happened to appear in the store, so he pushed his glasses, Then he looked at An Ran in front of him and said: "Whether it is suicide or homicide, it is a matter for the police, so it is better for us to wait here until the police uncle arrives."
"However, if the two uncles are willing to say something related to the deceased, it may reduce the workload of the police uncles a lot." Conan continued to say this with a smile, and his expression looked very innocent. look.
However, for some unknown reason, Conan was very wary of Anran and Shuten-douji from the very beginning, so even though they both looked very young, Conan still used The title "Uncle" can't help but seem a bit mischievous.
"That..." At this time, the noodle shop waiter who was standing aside suddenly came out.An Ran immediately recognized that round-faced girl as the waitress who served their table just now, and from the way she chatted with the deceased, it was obvious that she knew the deceased, and even knew the identity of the deceased.
"These two gentlemen should have nothing to do with this matter. After all, when Mr. Ishisaka came to the store today, the two gentlemen had already finished serving the food. Later, because there were really no vacant seats in the store, Mr. Ishisaka would Temporarily share a table with two guests." Regarding the matter of table sharing, the most clear thing is naturally the waiters who have been paying attention to the guests, so now she can prove the relationship between An Ran and Shuten-douji in the first place.

Why don't we come and get to know each other?"
"I'm really sorry!" Before Edogawa Conan could say anything to An Ran's picture of "kidnapping children", Mao Lilan had already walked up from behind, and said to An Ran and the others apologetically, "This child just likes Playing detective games, but sometimes his reasoning will indeed bring some great help to my father, so he just wants to help. I am really sorry for causing such a misunderstanding before."
"It's okay." An Ran shook her head, "No one would have thought that such a thing would happen just because of delicious food."
"Conan, hurry up and apologize!" In the eyes of Mao Lilan, who has a more straightforward personality, An Ran has a good personality. Even if he is considered a suspect, his attitude towards children is still very gentle, and he is a good person at first glance.
"I'm sorry." Edogawa Conan was also unwilling to continue to show his character that didn't fit the seven-year-old boy in front of Mo Lilan, so he also apologized to An Ran and Shuten-douji, but he still maintained his vigilance in his heart.
After all, Conan listed them as suspects when he didn't know about the relationship between An Ran and the deceased at the beginning, because almost everyone in the store showed panic and surprise when they found out that the young man was dead.

Thinking about it this way, An Ran felt that it was not unreasonable for them to be suspected by Conan. Maybe it was because he had been separated from the ordinary human society for too long, and he would always forget how to be ordinary in some details.

She only thinks that the tall and thin young police officer in the lead and the fat young police officer next to him are definitely from the works. Famous characters who have lived.
"Takagi." Sure enough, as soon as the policemen came in, Conan and Mori Ran greeted them, and Mori Kogoro greeted him familiarly, "I'm really sorry, I have to trouble everyone again."
"No, this is just a matter of our duty." Police officer Takagi sent his colleagues to investigate the deceased, while looking helplessly at the trio of Mori Kogoro in front of him, he suddenly muttered, " It might be impolite to say that to the deceased, but seeing Mori-san here is not surprising at all."
When he said this, Officer Takagi still lowered his voice, and only his friends around him could hear what he muttered clearly.

"No, it's nothing." Although he quickly denied it, Police Officer Chiba had to admit that the Metropolitan Police Department had always acquiesced in private that the reason why "Sleeping Kogoro" became famous so quickly had nothing to do with his special physique that often bumped into cases. are closely related.
Compared with detectives, the police handle cases in a much more orderly manner, and almost every step has its own explanation, so after step by step, the police recorded the contact information and names of all the staff and customers in the store, and then except Except for the waitress who was familiar with the deceased, and the two witnesses, An Ran and Shuten Doji, the other customers were allowed to leave the store.
After the relevant personnel removed the corpse, Officer Takagi began to take notes for An Ran and Shuten Doji in the room behind the noodle shop, while Mori Kogoro and the others were also allowed to stay in the room because of their dual identities as detectives and witnesses. Participate in the recording work.After all, Mori Kogoro and Conan have helped Takagi and the others solve many cases, so it can be said that they, the police, hope from the bottom of their hearts that they can still solve this case quickly.
"We don't know anything about the identity of this young man, we only know that he seems to be a regular customer of this store, and his expression looks very happy when eating noodles, it seems that he really likes the signature noodles of this store. "
Facing the police's questioning, An Ran still honestly told what he saw and felt.Although she doesn't know which aspect of herself makes Edogawa Conan wary of herself, but An Ran feels that she still needs to show the side of a law-abiding citizen so that things won't get worse.
"That's all. We really don't know anything about other things." Naturally, Shuten-douji would not want to add anything. His ability to ignore strangers is even several times stronger than that of An Ran. At this moment Maybe he couldn't even remember whether the dead one was a man or a woman.
And...Looking at the human policemen in front of him, Jiu Tun-douji snorted coldly in his heart, if it wasn't for An Ran's presence, how dare these human beings let Dajiangshan Ghost King answer all his questions?Back then, the food he fed his pets was much higher than these guys.
"Well... According to the procedure, we still have to record the identities of the two of you. May I ask if you have any relevant documents to show." After recording the transcript and making sure that neither of them has any other clues to tell, Officer Takagi proceeded One last procedure.
However, if some secret means are not used, An Ran and Jiu Tun-douji seem to be regarded as absolute black household registrations in this world, and it is impossible for them to have their identities in any country.However, if he wanted to act in front of these police officers at this moment, it seemed that he had to worry about Edogawa Conan and the others who were waiting on the sidelines.
"We have just returned from abroad, so we haven't had time to apply for the relevant documents. After the necessary procedures are completed, we will send the copies to the Metropolitan Police Department immediately. What do you think of the police officers?" Although even I feel that my proposal Somewhat suspicious, but in this situation, An Ran has no other better excuse.
Fortunately, Officer Takagi and the others were not as vigilant as Conan, so after confirming that An Ran and Shuten Doji were not suspected of a crime, Officer Takagi quickly believed what they said and just asked them to record Your address, name and contact information.However, when Police Officer Takagi believed what he said, and wrote down his name and contact information, An Ran's eyes flashed a icy blue light...
In order to avoid more trouble, some small tricks are well worth it.But the excuse that An Ran said, in the eyes of Conan Edogawa's children, seemed even more suspicious and suspicious.
After An Ran and Shuten Doji left, Conan walked up to Police Officer Takagi, and asked with a request: "Officer Takagi, can you show me the records of the two big brothers?"
Because of his previous cooperation in the case, Officer Takagi had an inexplicable trust in Conan. He didn't even see the strange eyes of his friend Officer Chiba, so he directly handed over the two transcripts to Conan.It's just that what Conan is really interested in is not the content of the transcript, but the address and contact information of Anran and Shuten-douji also recorded on it.
There are also two other names that seem a bit weird at first glance...
"Officer Takagi, are you sure these two names are their real names?" Looking at the two names "Anran" and "Shuten Doji", Conan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, if the names they recorded were " Yamada" or "Nakamura", maybe Conan will give up, but what's the matter with such a strange name?
"Hey, these two names are..." Police Officer Takagi seemed to be seeing this transcript for the first time, with a surprised expression on his face, "Obviously just now..."
"What happened just now?" Conan quickly asked, but if he really wanted Officer Takagi to tell what he saw just now, he looked completely puzzled.
Seeing Takagi's bewildered expression, Conan still put the transcript aside. After all, according to his reasoning, those two weird guys really have nothing to do with this case, and they really want to solve this case. For the case, it is useless to rely on his current status as a child or Mori Kogoro, and he still needs help from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Thinking of this, Conan silently memorized the addresses of Anran and Shuten-douji in his heart, and then suddenly put on an innocent expression of a child, pointed at the belongings of the deceased that had been put aside with an extremely exaggerated tone, and said : "Ah, uncle, the fingertips of the glove seem to be a little strange!"
Sure enough, in the next second, whether it was Officer Takagi or Mori Kogoro, their attention was attracted by Conan's words.
……
A few days later, newspapers and TV news broadcast the truth about the murder in the noodle shop that day.The poison that caused the death of the deceased was indeed hidden in the glove that the deceased carried with him.After the deceased took off his gloves, he used his poisoned fingers to pick up his favorite marinated eggs, but in the end he lost his life.
The identity of the murderer was also quickly revealed under the investigation and tracking of the police, and this time the famous detective who is said to have provided important clues and has been featured in various reports is still the famous "Sleeping Kogoro" ".
Under the case, Edogawa Conan, who really hides his merits and fame, is pestering Mao Lilan at this time, hoping that he can get permission to go out.It's just because Conan's reason for wanting to go out is really strange, so Mao Lilan didn't agree for a long time.
"Do you really want to go to those two gentlemen?" Although he was relieved that Conan didn't go there secretly, but informed himself in advance, Mao Lilan still couldn't understand why Conan would attach so much importance to the two strangers. What about people?
What's more, the last time I saw Police Officer Takagi, he specifically mentioned that both of them had sent the relevant identification documents to the Metropolitan Police Department, and they had indeed just come here from abroad.One of them has such a Chinese name because he is from China.And the other red-haired one is actually a mixed-race child who grew up abroad, and his identity certificate has a lot of unfamiliar English names, but he just chose such a strange and easy-to-remember name for the convenience of life in Tokyo.
"Don't worry, I will go with the doctor and the others." Conan also told Xiaolan about it because he thought it might take a long time for them to go there, and hoped that she would not worry too much. "After all, I really felt sorry for the two brothers last time, so it's better for me to go there specially, and there happens to be a very delicious self-service barbecue restaurant near the two big brothers' homes, and we are planning to go to have a big meal. Meal."
"So, this is your real purpose, right?" Mao Lilan put her hands on her hips, looked at the smiling Conan, and then shook her head helplessly, "Really, no matter what, you can't be too troublesome Dr. Ali and others! Remember to come back early.”
"Got it, sister Xiaolan, you don't have to wait for me for dinner tonight!"
After getting Mao Lilan's permission, Conan left the house quickly.When he went downstairs, Dr. Ali's car had already parked on the side of the road. The small car was filled with members of the Detective Boys and the fat Dr. Ali. It could be said to be seriously overloaded.Fortunately, An Ran and the others lived not far from the Maori Detective Agency, only a few streets away, so a group of people arrived at their destination not long after squeezing in the car.
Originally, the apartment building where An Ran and the others lived had a very complete security system. The door needed to be opened by a corresponding password or fingerprint, or by the owner through a video call device.But when Conan and the others arrived downstairs in the apartment, someone happened to come out of it, so Conan asked Dr. Ali to take the rest of the Boy Detective Team to the self-service barbecue restaurant to wait.Then, Conan and Haibara Ai quickly passed through the opened door, took the elevator and headed towards the top floor.
The sound insulation effect of the apartment building should be really good, but...maybe in this world, there are countless coincidences encountered by Conan, so when the two children reached the top floor, they found that the door of Anran's house was not closed. Instead, a slit was opened. Although it was not enough for Conan and the others to see the scene in the house, it was able to allow them to hear some sounds coming from the house.
"Yanyanluo, how about watching a movie together today? We sang together yesterday, but it was confiscated for a while, and the neighbor downstairs came here to blame the master. It is really our negligence." A gentle female voice came first, It should be someone other than An Ran and Jiu Tun-douji, but it's just that the friends of those two people like to name some monsters?
"Hmph, annoying human beings!" A somewhat unpleasant female voice came next, and what the voice said next really surprised Conan and Haibara Ai, "If it really doesn't work, just kill them all!"
Maybe it was a joke.Haibara Ai thought for a while, then turned her head and said such words to Conan with her lips.After all, even when he reached the door, Hui Yuan Ai didn't feel any clues or aura belonging to the black organization. If it was just an ordinary person with the second illness, it would not be surprising to say such a thing.
Then in the next second, a voice belonging to a young man came, and said in an impatient tone: "Oh? Who are you going to kill? After so much tempering, it's time for Xiaosheng to help the master solve problems. As long as it's not a digging task, Xiaosheng can do it!"
Can't help but kill?Also responsible for digging holes and burying corpses?Because the gap is too small, some words cannot be heard clearly, so Conan captured such information.In Conan's view, do these guys really want to kill and bury other people because they complain about the noise?
Even Hui Yuan Ai was a little surprised when he heard the voice coming from the door.Can't help urging Conan to leave here quickly, if the other party is really such a murderous organization, their danger and madness may be more terrifying than the black organization who doesn't know where it is!So when encountering such an existence, relying on their two children's physiques who have no fighting ability at all, there is nothing they can do!
However, just as Conan and Huiyuan Ai were about to leave, there was the sound of something heavy being slapped on the wall from inside the door, and then another strange male voice said: "You guys are chatting here, have you considered going outside the door?" What do the two guests think?"
"Big Tengu, you bastard!"
Just when Conan and Haibara felt nervous because they were discovered, all the sounds inside the door disappeared in an instant, as if no one in the room existed.Then, the door that was only opened a crack was pushed open, and An Ran, who was only wearing a sweater and trousers, appeared at the door, smiling and looking at the two fake children at the door.
"Long time no see, little detective." An Ran made an invitation gesture to Conan and Hui Yuan Ai, inviting them to enter the room.
Hui Yuanai probed into the room a little bit, and then saw that there was no one in the living room inside, and there was no sense of excitement that they heard outside the door.If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Hui Yuan Ai would have thought that someone was throwing a party inside.
"What's the matter?" Seeing the hesitation of the two people, An Ran also knew that they had heard the conversation of the Shikigami before, and since they couldn't hide anything, the best way was to change the topic, "Could it be that the two of you are coming here, Aren't you looking for me?"
"Then excuse me." Conan and Haibara Ai looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then walked into the house.Looking around, Conan can see that this is a very particular residence. Although according to the information obtained by the Metropolitan Police Department, the two people are only tenants here, but such a large space is still too big for two people...
If there are only two people, do we really need to live in such a large space?
With such doubts, Conan and Hui Yuanai walked into the living room, and found that there was indeed no one here.It's just that there are various photos on the wall and in every corner of the living room. There are two people, An Ran and Shuten Doji, and there are also many people dressed in strange clothes. Their expressions are very relaxed and happy. They should be very good friends. .
"Ah, is this... the cosplay?" Conan studied the contents of the photo and could only come up with such an understanding.
And An Ran also looked at the group photos of them and shikigami on the wall, and responded, "Maybe, but it's also possible that they are real monsters!"
Conan and Huiyuan Ai naturally didn't take what An Zong said seriously, they just took it as a joke, but after confirming that there was no one hiding behind the curtains in the living room, they pretended to ask innocently: "Uncle Are you playing hide and seek with your friends?"
"Hide and seek?" An Ran spread out her hands and said with a look of incomprehension, "Little detective, did you find any mysterious clues in my house?"
"Nope! It's just that my uncle's house is very beautiful." Conan looked like a child again, poking his head over there, and then suddenly heard a movement coming from a certain place, and looked over quickly, but saw the wine Tun Tong was wearing a bathrobe, and while wiping his wet red hair, he came out of the bathroom, and after noticing Conan's gaze, he gave a terrifying look...
"I...we are here to apologize for what happened before." Conan has seen big storms and many heinous criminals, but Shuten-douji's eyes are indeed full of murderous intent, which made Conan and Haibara couldn't help but take a step back .
"That matter, we have seen the result of the case from the news before, and I heard that Mr. Maori found a very important clue, he really deserves to be a detective." When An Ran said these words, the bottom of her heart Li was a little sad, after all, he still had no clue about that weird sealing reward task, so he couldn't help but look at Conan with extra concentration.
It would be an easy task if he could follow the famous route of Mori Kogoro.After all, it can be seen from this poisoning incident that An Ran really doesn't know anything about these killing methods of human beings, let alone reasoning.
It's just that An Ran and Conan don't know that there are some difficult cases in this world that only non-humans can solve.
"It seems to be almost noon." An Ran glanced at the wall clock in the living room, and then looked at the two little detectives who were standing in her living room looking around, so she suggested, "I heard that there is a very good restaurant down there." Self-service barbecue restaurant, how about going to have lunch together? Let's treat."
Conan and Haibara: "..."
So, a quarter of an hour later, in the newly opened self-service barbecue restaurant near An Ran's apartment building, among the two booths at the front and back, Dr. Anran, Shutendouji, Conan and Haibara Ai were sitting.
"Well, Mr. Shuten Doji, may I ask if you two are traveling to Tokyo, or are you settling here?" Because An Ran's "person" looks easy to talk, but he is good at diverting topics, so Conan is going to start from that person, although he occasionally looks at him. It's a bit scary, but its personality is not clear yet, and it even started with a red-haired man with a weird "alias" like "Shuten Doji".
"Travel." When Shuten-douji replied, his tone was very stiff, but his movements quickly put the few pieces of barbecued meat that he put on for Anran before into the bowl in front of Anran, and then continued to put the meat on the barbecue.
"I heard that my uncle is of mixed race. Where did we live before? We have never been abroad! What kind of occupation do you do? I always think that the two uncles can do everything! Are they photographers? Artists?" Conan, who learned everything from his father in Hawaii, and went to other countries to get involved in the case, said innocently.
"..." Jiu Tun-douji really felt that the detective's acting skills in front of him were a bit horrible, so he said seriously, "Actually, An Ran and I are both monsters. I was a ghost king for a long time before coming here. I have led many times of Hundred Ghost Night Walks, and I can say that I am very experienced in this area. If the little detective has a suitable job, I can introduce one or two."
"..." Conan suddenly realized that this guy seemed to be worse than An Ran, so he could only twitch the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "Haha, it seems that uncles should be artists who are everywhere."
After the awkward conversation ended, the atmosphere fell into silence for a while.Then the next second, there was a scream in the self-service barbecue restaurant...
