After the time for inappropriate jokes.

Hattori Heiji soon entered a state of reasoning and began to show the keenness he should be as a detective.

He used only the content of Xiaolan's conversation with Shinichi just now that Kudo Shinichi was hiding nearby, a place where he could notice Xiaolan at any time.

When he said this reasoning, Hattori Heiji was also vaguely paying attention to Shirakawa Yu's reaction.

Because there is still no other explanation in the second half of his reasoning-

That is the mysterious disappearing Kudo, who knows Koran's behavior very well.

It was because he sent an informant to visit Maori's family from time to time, and then learned about everything through the informant.

Of course, as for the identity of the informant...

Hattori Heiji turned his attention to Shirakawa Yu.

He suspected that it was this man.

From the chat just now, he learned that Yu Shirakawa and the Maori family were not too familiar or too distant.

It is probably the degree that the best friend is above life and not satisfied.

This kind of person with a low sense of presence is the most convenient way to be an informant.

The action pattern is natural and will not be suspicious.

besides.

This guy seems to have a good relationship with that little glasses.

Maybe it's to talk from the children, right?

The more Hattori Heiji thinks, the more certain he becomes.

There are also the various strengths that the other party showed in the alley, as well as the slight hostility that he showed towards himself, the "detective investigating Kudo" after meeting...

It's the perfect correct answer.

This man is definitely related to Kudo and knows where Kudo is now.

And on the other side.

When Hattori Heiji suspected Shirakawa Yu, Conan was also energetic and looked at Hattori.

This black man who suddenly appeared could infer this possibility based on just some superficial information?

Although it is very different from the truth to reasoning himself as a fool.

...But it is undeniable that Hattori Heiji's reasoning direction is correct. He is a detective character with a little brain and a little ink in his belly.

Conan blew his nose, and at the same time he felt relieved.

Fortunately, I had already learned all Hattori Heiji's identity information from Shirakawa Yu long ago, and I could confirm that the other party was not a suspicious person.

Otherwise, in the absence of intelligence.

Now, I will probably be in a panic and think of Hattori Heiji as a member of that organization?

After all, the color of that organization is crow-like black...

Waiting for something seems wrong...?

Conan was slightly stunned, then stared at Hattori Heiji's skin color, and then laughed out loud in a very unkind way.

Anyway.

It is really useful to have an intelligence businessman around you.

Directly avoid many unnecessary doubts yourself.

...If this continues, I seem to be able to ask Yu Shirakawa to help me check it out. The guy who wrote about his prophecy - Kuroha Kuaido?

For intelligence merchants, this kind of thing should be easy to do, right?

Thinking of this, Conan looked up at Yu Shirakawa, and it was rare to feel the other person's goodness.

However, as Conan was watching at this time, Yu Shirakawa didn't feel very good.

Although I don’t know what Hattori is thinking, from the other party’s suspicious expression, I was probably targeted by this guy.

Hattori Heiji did not care about his past grudges at this time.

He politely brought a respectful speech and asked Yu Shirakawa:

"Mr. Shirakawa, I didn't intend to offend it just now... I was curious about the facts of Kudo, so I asked directly."

"...Do you know where Shinichi Kudo?"

When he asked this, he was basically sure of the correct answer.

I just want to test the problem and see Yu Shirakawa's reaction.

When he heard the key issue of Hattori Heiji, Conan subconsciously expressed his expression tightened, and he was nervous about how Yu Shirakawa Yu would respond.

Unexpectedly, Yu Shirakawa paused and smiled:

"I seem to have heard Conan tell me about Kudo's words."

"Conan?" Hattori Heiji was stunned.

"It's just a kid who was cheated by you just now and was cheated on me for nothing."

"…He is Kudo's distant relative and occasionally talks to me."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji said "Oh" and pinched his chin and looked at the listless Conan.

The latter's face changed slightly, and he didn't expect that Yu Shirakawa would directly provide him with his backhand.

Can you still be a good teammate?

What if you promise not to disclose the information to anyone?

Conan was a little depressed.

However, Hattori Heiji looked at Conan with a serious face for a moment, and suddenly laughed and turned out the dead fish eyes:

"What a joke, just a little kid, how could you know where that guy Kudo is?"

"...Mr. Shirakawa doesn't know, so there is no need to use this to swear me."

“…”

Yu Shirakawa didn't say anything at this time, but just shrugged without objection, looking like "Believe it or not".

Anyway, almost half of what I said is the truth.

The black charcoal boy in front of him was unhappy to believe it, it had nothing to do with him.

Just as he dealt with the problem of Hattori Heiji, subtle footsteps came from the corridor.

Yu Shirakawa quickly took this opportunity to change the topic: "It seems that a client is coming."

As he said that, he walked to the door slowly and opened it.

Outside the door, a middle-aged woman dressed in a very elegant manner was reaching out to knock on the door.

Seeing the door open, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Hattori Heiji was not able to continue talking about Kudo after having a client came to him, so he could only shut up his mouth in dismay.

Kogoro Mouri wrinkled his beard and glanced at the client.

Seeing that he was outstanding in temperament, dressed appropriately, and the jewelry he wore was expensive, he immediately greeted him with a smile and waved his hand to greet Xiaolan for tea.

Xiaolan nodded and was about to set off when she saw Yu Shirakawa had already entered the kitchen and started making tea skillfully.

"Let me help you with this little thing."

Yu Shirakawa smiled brightly.

"... Actually, I'm very curious about Mr. Maori's work process. I just treat it as writing materials. Can I let me watch together?"

“…”

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan looked at Kogoro hesitantly.

The latter nodded without thinking and agreed - he had a good impression of Yu Shirakawa, and as long as the client didn't mind, he naturally wouldn't mind either.

Seeing this scene, Conan couldn't help looking at Yu Shirakawa.

What is this guy's idea?

Don't tell him what to do with...

There should be much more client contacts from intelligence merchants than detectives?

He complained in his heart.

Without waiting for Conan to think about it, the client began to slowly describe the content of the commission.

Through a simple explanation, everyone quickly figured it out.

The middle-aged woman is named Koe Tsujimura, and is the wife of a diplomat.
