Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 539 I’m suing you for defamation!

Koji Shimizu took Haibara Ai away without causing any commotion. Even Eri Kisaki, who had been silently watching him, didn't think there was anything wrong.

In other words, Yukiko is now dreaming of being a high school girl detective, and is secretly threatening Kudo Shinichi to work as her slave. Otherwise, if she sees Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai leaving, it would be hard for her not to think too much.

After all, it was she who did all the disguises of Haibara Ai.

"The deceased had a distinct taste of almonds in his mouth, so he must have died of cyanide poisoning, but we will have to wait for the police to arrive before we can get any specific clues."

"It should be that drink. As for the suspects, they should be the three people over there."

Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji were talking to each other. Yukiko felt a little bored when she heard that they had not yet reached a conclusion. She also noticed the incompatible aura barrier between Kisaki Eri and Mori Kogoro. She raised her eyebrows slightly and walked towards Kisaki Eri silently.

"But according to what they said, this incident might not be that simple. It seems that Shimizu and Kazuha are also involved."

"Oh?" Hattori Heiji was a little confused. Although he was rescued by Yukiko just now, it still took him a lot of effort to explain it clearly to everyone, and he missed the opportunity to interrogate the suspects.

"You didn't hear what Miss Noda said just now. At the beginning, Mr. Urata used the excuse of buying the wrong drink to try to strike up a conversation with Kazuha who was sitting behind him by exchanging drinks. Afterwards, for some reason, Shimizu suddenly got angry - uh..."

"What's wrong?" Hattori Heiji was listening attentively, but Kudo Shinichi suddenly stopped, which made him a little dissatisfied.

Kudo Shinichi secretly glanced at Ye Xiaolan, and then glanced at Hattori Heiji inconspicuously. He suddenly fell silent for a moment.

He didn't notice it when he asked just now, but now that he thinks about it, he finds that it seems that Kazuha and Shimizu Koji are sitting together watching a play, and Shimizu Koji calls Kazuha his girlfriend in front of others.
However, Kudo Shinichi suddenly remembered that Haibara Ai was sitting next to Shimizu Koji, so in this case, was he thinking wrong?

Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but think of the senior schoolmate he met that time, and couldn't help but look at Kisaki Eri beside him. He swallowed silently and didn't know what to say for a moment.

There was a strange look in his eyes when he looked at Hattori Heiji, but he treated Hattori as a friend after all. Although Shimizu Koji was also a friend, it was reasonable for him to stand on Hattori's side because of Shimizu Koji's behavior.

"Hattori, speaking of which, how are you and Kazuha doing now?"

When Kudo Shinichi asked this question, he felt a little embarrassed, but he was not shy or anything like that. Instead, he felt proud of being a "senior". Although they didn't kiss today, in his heart, he and Xiaolan had already taken a firm step forward.

So, naturally, in this regard, he can completely look down on Hattori, who is still simply kept in the dark.

Hattori Heiji was stunned by the question, and then his eyes subconsciously avoided a little. Even in the past, he would be too nervous to speak when faced with this question, let alone now.
He is really sick. At the same time, he has also noticed that He Ye's feelings for Shimizu Koji have changed.
Hattori Heiji felt a bitter taste in his mouth and an indescribable feeling in his heart. Of course, he couldn't blame anyone for this. He could only say that he was unlucky. If he hadn't been injured that day, he would have been able to get on the ship and Heye wouldn't have had an accident.
But in fact, He Ye had an accident and almost died. Shimizu Koji almost risked his life to save her. Although he felt that he could do it, there is no if.
Moreover, a few days ago, because of his own carelessness, he almost killed himself, and also caused He Ye to be implicated. If those bandits were more vicious.
Hattori Heiji didn't even dare to think further. He was even very grateful that Shimizu Koji arrived in time and killed those gangsters with one sword. Yes, his first reaction at that time was that he didn't think Shimizu Koji was excessive at all, just - "cool".

He is not as blindly righteous as Kudo Shinichi. He knows that if Shimizu Koji had not rescued him in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Hattori Heiji thought a lot in just a few seconds. He turned his head to look at the situation over there, then shook his head slightly, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Kudo, stop it. Kazuha and I are just childhood friends."

"Eh? Hattori, you--no way?" Hattori Heiji was okay at lying to others, but it was not enough to lie to Kudo Shinichi. After all, although the two had known each other for a short time, because Conan had become smaller, they were close friends and knew each other inside and out.

Kudo Shinichi was incredulous, and after a brief moment of hesitation, Hattori Heiji sighed helplessly and said, "Do you remember the car accident when I rode a motorcycle with you to chase Kid?"

Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"There's something wrong with me. The doctor said it might take a few years to treat. Ideally, I should be able to recover well."

Kudo Shinichi watched Hattori Heiji's actions and nodded blankly. Although they were still young and had no such experience, he understood how important that place was to him as a boy.

However, this was just an excuse of Hattori Heiji. In fact, with the development of modern medicine, Hattori Heiji knew that his chances of recovery were not small.

But now, he was willing to use this reason as an excuse.

After all, we can't admit that Kazuha was blinded by Shimizu Koji.
So, in fact, it doesn't matter who Kazuha likes now, but if it's Shimizu Koji, it's better. At least, he can't be too jealous of Shimizu Koji, their savior.
Moreover, the most important point is that Shimizu Koji has a girlfriend, so what Hattori Heiji is unwilling to face now is actually just Kazuha's "love for someone else".

In short, he had no reason to stop or interfere with Kazuha, and deep down he didn't think that anything would happen between Kazuha and Shimizu Koji, so Hattori Heiji was quite accepting of all this.

".I see"

Kudo Shinyi nodded, then wisely skipped this topic and continued to talk to Hattori Heiji about what Noda Yume said, that is, Shimizu Koji's tough attitude and the second exchange of drinks.

"So, I think if there was a problem with the drinks, it was probably when the drinks were exchanged. After all, Miss Mai, who was responsible for buying the drinks, didn't know which drink she would get. The Coke was completely random before it was given to Mr. Urata."

"So, Kudo, you are doubting Shimizu?"

"How is that possible!! Don't talk nonsense!!!"

Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but raise his voice by three points. For a moment, several pairs of eyes looked at him. He also knew that his reaction was a bit extreme, but he absolutely couldn't recognize what Hattori Heiji said.

What does it mean that he suspects Shimizu? Not to mention that there is absolutely no reason for Shimizu Koji to kill people in such a clumsy way. Whether he can get the antidote in the future depends on the mood of Master Shimizu. Of course, what is more important is the mood of Master Haibara.

But there is no doubt that Shimizu Koji himself would most likely just laugh off the joke, but if it reached the ears of the petty-minded Haibara Ai, she would definitely keep it in mind and make things difficult for him.

"What are they arguing about?"

"Who knows? Forget about those two brats. Eri, have you really decided to completely sever your relationship with Kogoro? Is it because of that incident before?"
