Ayanokoji in Kexue World

(20) He is an explosion-proof safety bolt

Hattori Heiji is a Kansai high school student detective who is as famous as Kudo Shinichi.I didn't know him well at first.I got to know him because of Conan.He is straightforward, warm and honest, and I have met face to face, but he is not his close friend.This time he hugged my shoulders and rubbed my head again.If I hadn't known that he was under 20 years old and not allowed to drink, I would have thought he was drunk.

In my impression, I don't have this kind of relationship with him.For a moment, I was also dumbfounded.Is there any memory I haven't recovered yet?Although I know it shouldn't be possible.

Hattori Heiji said: "You go upstairs with me, and I will talk to you as we go."

The "upstairs" that Hattori Heiji said refers to the Maori Detective Agency.

Mr. Maori works on the second floor and lives on the third floor.

By the way, one day when the store manager was chatting with us, he said that the owner of the whole building was actually Mr. Maori, and he also told a lot of rumors about Mr. Maori. In addition to the separated wife I knew, he used to be a policeman. Born in the police academy, he has excellent marksmanship, his skills are unmatched by others, and he was once called the "gun god" when he was a criminal policeman.

It was probably then that I became interested in Mr. Mori.

I have always had an idea, that is, "capable people refuse to use their abilities in the corresponding field."However, Mr. Mori became a mediocre unknown detective, which made me understand that "people belong to themselves first. Whether you want to live for others in life or live for yourself is your own choice. Take the road you choose , no one will be obliged to be responsible for your reluctance, displeasure, and unhappiness.”

At that time, I felt that Mr. Maori was more interesting than I imagined.

Of course, there is a building to be able to make the confidence to become an unknown detective.

Achieving financial freedom is the most important thing.

Now back to the matter of Hattori Heiji.

Every time he comes to Tokyo, he must bring a real case, and this time is no exception.

"The name of the case is "Murder in a Closed Room Out of Reach by Standing on Tiptoes". "

The situation of the case is like this. Originally, they encountered the deceased in this case when they were looking for the murderer of the serial murder case in Kobe, Kansai.This time it led to a strange suicide case.Because when monitoring the serial murderer in Kansai, the police suspected that the murderer would go to his teacher for help—that is, the deceased this time.So the police also sent some manpower to monitor the murderer's teacher.As a result, the police found that the deceased did not go out according to his usual habits.Puzzled, the police discovered that he had "committed suicide" in his own house.

The reason why it is called a closed room murder case is that

[-]. Under the supervision of the police, no one entered or exited the house of the deceased;

Second, as a chair for stepping on, it cannot meet the conditions for the deceased to commit suicide at all, and the chair is not high enough.

"Ayanokōji, you have to behave well this time! I will help you hold Kudo... No, no, no, Uncle Mori, don't let him be too high-profile."

I don't know what the hell he's talking about.Why should I be good?

In addition, why does Hattori Heiji always mention Kudo Shinichi, although he always successfully conceals it?

I don't have time to ask either.

Because my sight has been attracted by Hattori Heiji's Ome Toyama and Ye.

When she saw that I was caught between Hattori's hands hastily, her face was full of embarrassment and apology, but Hattori Heiji didn't look at her expression at all.When she was passing by, she apologized to me in a low voice: "Pingji got excited for no reason, I'm sorry."

I shook my head at her, saying it was okay.

However, before we left the cafe in such a hurry, Edogawa Ranpo, who had shown indifference to me from the beginning, suddenly said to Hattori, "Are you Hattori Heiji? Wait a minute."

I think back, we didn't mention Hattori Heiji's full name.

Unexpectedly, someone in the Kanto region would recognize him at a glance, Hattori Heiji stopped, and said to Edogawa who was leaning on the back of the sofa chair with his arms crossed, "You know me?"

"I don't know you, why should I know you? But it's not difficult to know who you are."

Edogawa Ranpo's words are quite provocative, and it can also be said to be arrogant.I don't know why he suddenly called Hattori Heiji.

"People in the Kansai region have a strong sense of identity with their own accents, and you don't deliberately put on a Kansai accent. Besides, you and your companions are carrying travel bags, which means that they just came from other places. The point is that you are from Kansai. In addition, your nails are clean and short, and there are calluses on the tiger’s mouth and index finger joints, indicating that you often perform related sports that require hands.”

Edogawa Ranpo spoke slowly, unhurriedly, but proudly.

"However, the proportion of your arms is not coordinated. The upper arms are thin and the forearms are thicker. This is caused by long-term practice of kendo. You are both a swordsman and a Kansai detective, and your skin is so evenly black, so it should be the same. The son of black-skinned kendo master Hattori Heizo."

After his words fell, Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha, Amuro Toru, and I exchanged glances respectively.

"Hattori Heizo?"

It was probably the first time for Hattori Heiji to see such a man called his father. The Osaka prefectural police guard looked so young, so he was very surprised.Take a closer look, isn't this squinting young man without glasses the same Edogawa Ranpo who often appears in newspapers?It's just not wearing glasses like in the newspaper, or being caught opening the eyes.

"Ah, the rumored Mr. Ranpo?"

Edogawa raised his head in disorder, and raised his jaw proudly, expressing that he was right.He called Hattori Heiji to stop, but actually wanted to say something.As a result, Hattori Heiji has been attracted by the news of Edogawa Ranpo.

"What did you say about the case of the wrong murderer? When I came here in the morning, I had already read the newspaper."

Hattori Heiji is no longer in a hurry to pull me to investigate the case, his inner detective soul is already burning with anger: "The newspaper said that the reason why you made a mistake was because you did not conduct on-site investigation, and said that if you go to the scene to see, New footprints will be found, and there will be investigations to see if other people's fingerprints appear on the suspect's pistol."

"..."

Edogawa Ranpo just ran out of Yokohama because of this incident.As a result, less than an hour after arriving in Tokyo, someone started mentioning this matter directly in front of his face.However, it is true that as soon as the news of the case that overturned the famous detective Edogawa Ranpo came out, it aroused the interest of most detectives or reasoning fans.

Hattori Heiji said enthusiastically: "The murderer made the suspect mistakenly think that "he accidentally fired a gun during the dispute and killed the person by mistake."But how sure was he that the suspect would fire two more shots?Isn't he afraid of the suspect checking the bullet count?When were guns stolen?These are easy to make mistakes in "killing people with a borrowed knife".Is it because the murderer is too familiar with the suspect, or the murderer is unilaterally familiar with the suspect, knowing that he "wrongly killed" the deceased will panic and don't know what to do? "

Hattori Heiji's conversation was like a machine gun fire, without stopping at all, and there was no time for the other party to interrupt or take a breath.After he finished speaking, Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up, looking at Edogawa Ranpo expectantly.But Edogawa pursed his lips in disorder, and he was about to speak for a while, but Hattori didn't give Edogawa another chance.

"Don't tell! Don't tell me the answer! Let me guess a little longer. I think it's very interesting."

Seeing the unhappiness on Edogawa's face that was blocked, I glanced at Hattori and said to Edogawa, "I like spoilers, so please tell me first." Since he wanted to say it, I I gave Edogawa Ranpo a chance to speak, but after hearing what I said, Ranpo tightened his arms instead and snorted very dissatisfied with me.

"There's no imagination or engagement at all."

The case of the Edogawa overturned car was made by myself.

What imagination and participation do you need?

Me: "Oh."

Edogawa Ranpo: "..."

The sudden silence made me realize that Ranpo Edogawa seemed even more unhappy.

"Mr. Ranpo, why are you looking for Hattori Heiji?" Toru Amuro gave Edogawa Ranpo and me a step down, which can be regarded as a solution to the stagnation in our conversation just now.

At this moment, Edogawa Ranpo remembered what he was going to say just now, but he couldn't let it go. He drank a big mouthful of orange juice and said slowly, "I also want to see what's going on."

He paused, and added: "It's the case of the "pretend suicide" you mentioned. "

Hattori Heiji had an unexpected expression of resistance. Originally, he should also be very happy to cooperate with Edogawa Ranpo.Like Kudo Shinichi, he has always been deeply impressed by this young and famous detective. Although Edogawa Ranpo is only 26 years old, he is already a senior in the field of reasoning and detectives.Hattori Heiji shouldn't have this look.

He subconsciously glanced at me and said, "Let's go to the Maori Detective Agency and talk about it."

I have to say that Hattori Heiji's performance is abnormal and strange.

He paid so much attention to me for no reason.

Originally, I didn't want to respond to Hattori Heiji's whim.I was pulled away directly before, and I thought it was hard to refuse.Now that I clearly notice that he is abnormal, and with the buffer of his dialogue with Edogawa Ranpo, I feel that I can interrupt the rhythm between each other, saying that I have work to do.

However, when Toru Amuro came back to the store today, he happened to be able to take over my duty, as planned in advance.He treated his colleagues with the same kind and gentle attitude as when I first met, and he also encouraged me to actively participate in high school activities.I still remember when I was with Amamiya at that time, Toru Amuro said to me, "Friends I met in my youth will be friends for life".At that time, I felt the nostalgia and memories in his words.

Of course, "at that time" was also when I lost my memory.

Now that I have recovered my memory, I naturally don't just think that the other party is just a good colleague full of kindness and warmth.Toru Amuro's code name "Bourbon" is thoughtful and meticulous in his work.Will such a person let people see their mobile phone information in an ordinary employee lounge?

I still remember the "Kasashia in Mihua" that appeared on the screen of his mobile phone.

And at that time, I didn't think about peeping other people's information. I saw that text message. Is it an accident, a coincidence, or more inadvertently?Or are there many designs, temptations, and traps?

One second before I left the store, I turned around and grabbed the corner of Toru Amuro's mouth to put away his smile, with an expressionless look on his face. For a moment, it seemed like a different person.

In any case, Toru Amuro is still in control.

When I got 300 billion this time, I tried to find a way to completely subdue Toru Amuro, and use him as an explosion-proof and break-proof safety bolt for my organization in black.
