Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

Rest day, sunny day.

The coffee shop was noticeably quieter today than usual, with only three or four customers in the shop near noon.

As usual, Lin Feng and Uncle Maori took the window seats to bask in the sun and read magazines.

"Xiaolan and the others are back." Lin Feng said after glancing out the window.

It seemed like she and Conan went shopping for groceries.

"Is that the classmate named Sera?" Uncle Maori took a closer look at the person next to Xiaolan, who was wearing jeans, a jacket and a gray hat, and asked uncertainly.

This child's dress is really neutral, which can easily be misunderstood.

"It's her, for sure." Lin Feng nodded.

I guess it's no coincidence that we met outside...

While the two were talking, Xiaolan and others pushed the door and walked in.

"Who is this Hattori you were talking about just now?" Sera asked curiously as he sat next to the two of them.

"He is a high school detective just like you, Sera and Shinichi." Xiaolan said, taking out the snacks she brought for Lin Feng from the plastic bag and handing them to him.

"That kid's father is the chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters. This is different from you." Uncle Maori said as he flipped through the newspaper.

Really, a bunch of kids playing house, all running away to be high school detectives.

"Great!"

"In that case, you will definitely come into contact with many cases in your daily life." Sera said with a look of surprise on his face and nodded.

"His full name is Hattori Heiji."

"In the west there is Hattori, and in the east there is Kudo. These two people are often mentioned together by others." Xiaolan said with a smile.

"In other words, he is Kudo Shinichi's rival?" Sera showed considerable interest.

"..."

Conan looked at the other person from the side, speechless.

He also didn't know what the charm of the name Kudo Shinichi was.

Could this guy be secretly in love with me?
"They only faced off against each other when they first met, and recently it seems like they've been working together to solve cases." Xiaolan explained with a smile.

"Humph."

"It means two are equal to one."

"Compared to me, the Sleeping Kogoro, one of the best detectives in Japan, he is not even on the same level."

Uncle Maori laughed out loud as he spoke.

Only high school students at that level need cooperation.

"Two against one?" Lin Feng looked at his Maori teacher.

You are truly two against one...

"Is that Hattori-san here to investigate some case?" Sera asked after asking Azusa after asking for a cup of coffee.

"I don't know. Conan said he would have to wait until he gets here before telling us." Xiaolan shook her head and said.

"I think they've probably brought some trouble again, from the east, from the west, high school students playing detective games, just don't quarrel." Uncle Maori said nonchalantly.

"That kid does always get some messy cases." Lin Feng nodded to this.

"That's it."

"So, between the East and the West, who is the real detective?" Sera really wanted to know what the result of the competition between the two would be.

"Uh……"

Everyone was stunned. It seemed that no one had mentioned the competition just now.

"If these two people were to compete, someone would definitely die somewhere." Lin Feng said while eating snacks.

It’s better not to have a competition in your own store and let people die outside.

"I think they should both be equally powerful." Xiaolan said with a smile.

This way there's no need to compare.

"But, if we really have to compare, of course it's the East..." When Conan heard this, he immediately wanted to say that Shinichi was more powerful.

"It's from the west!"

"I'm Hattori Heiji, a high school detective from the Kansai region. I'm much stronger than that kid from the east!"

“It’s really unbearable to listen to this!”

Suddenly a black face appeared in front of the table. It was Hattori who walked in behind a customer.

"Hattori, your face looks darker than usual. You should do a good job of sun protection." Lin Feng reminded.

"Really, Brother Lin Feng, please give us a fair evaluation of who is more powerful between the two of us."

Hattori seemed very unconvinced.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely fair."

"Whoever pays more wins." Lin Feng stated the rules of the game.

Simple and fair.

"I've saved some money recently!" Hattori said as he was about to take out the money.

My pocket is not empty!

"..."

"Calm down..." Conan poked the guy.

Who benefited from this competition?
"Where is that person?"

"The female detective who has been asking around for Kudo." Hattori thought about it, loosened his hand, and did not really take out the money. He sat aside and asked about the whereabouts of the new female high school student detective.

Look, I’ll take care of her in one go and let you know who’s more powerful.

"Female detective..."

"She's right here, Masumi Sera." Xiaolan pointed to a classmate who was drinking coffee nearby.

"I didn't ask around about other people," Sera explained with a smile.

"You, you are a girl?!"

"It seems a little too subtle..." Hattori has always been quite outspoken.

"This is expected to have amazing growth in the near future!" Sera said confidently.

"Ok?"

Hattori didn't know why she said that and looked puzzled.

Is there any secret recipe?

"Although my mother is very thin, her breasts are still very beautiful, so I don't worry about this problem." Sera explained with a smile.

"Cough cough!"

Lin Feng, who happened to be drinking water, coughed twice.

This kid is always talking outside...

"Am I right, Xiaolan?" Sera turned and looked at Xiaolan.

"Hmm..." Xiaolan nodded nervously.

She didn't know why she suddenly asked herself this question, since they had never met each other.

"By the way, isn't Kazuha going to come here too? Where is she?" Xiaolan looked at Hattori and asked.

"She got off the bus to do something."

"Someone gave her vacuum-packed curry as a souvenir last time, and I heard that He Ye's mother became addicted to it after trying it."

"Because it is a limited product that can only be purchased in family restaurants in Tokyo, I told Kazuha that if she goes to Tokyo, she must buy some for her." Hattori explained Kazuha's whereabouts.

"Is vacuum-packed curry delicious?" Lin Feng was a little curious.

"I don't know why I'm so addicted." Hattori nodded.

probably.

As we were talking, the phone rang.

It’s He Ye calling.

"Have you bought curry? We are all at Polo downstairs from the office." Hattori said after answering the phone.

"Oh no, Heiji!" Kazuha said in a panic. "What's going on? Didn't you go to that family restaurant?"

Hattori was shocked. He saw the restaurant from the car. It was right on the side of the road. What happened?

"I'm in this restaurant right now. I heard someone died in the bathroom, and it's causing all kinds of chaos here!"

The sound from He Ye's end did sound a bit noisy.

"Is it a murder case?!"

Hattori continued to ask.

"I don't know about this either. There was a foreign man who told the restaurant to call the police immediately and not allow anyone to leave."

Judging from what He Ye said, it definitely seems to be a homicide case.

"We'll be there soon."

Hattori hung up the phone and looked at everyone. This is what happened. I just arrived in Tokyo...

"Perhaps this case can be used to compare which side is stronger, the East or the West."

"Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji." Sera suggested with a smile.

"But Shinichi may not be in Tokyo." Xiaolan shook her head slightly.

Every time I called, I was secretly investigating a case outside.

"It should be fine if we can get through on the phone. Explain the case in detail and then listen to the two people's reasoning."

"However, if these two are brothers with a very good relationship and don't want to decide the winner, I can understand it."

Sera turned into a master of fanning the flames and said to Hattori.

"This is indeed a rare opportunity. Between me and Kudo Shinichi, who is the real detective?"

Hattori was even more easily irritated.

I have to compare them today.

"Who will be the judge, me?"

"You can bribe me." Lin Feng volunteered.

Brother Kudo still has a lot of money in his pocket, so he can win.

"Hehehe..."

Seeing that some people wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, Conan couldn't help but smile speechlessly.

"Amuro, do you want to participate?"

"Give me a bribe with this month's salary." Lin Feng asked a cook who was watching the show.

"Hey, hey, hey, how much do you want to earn..." Uncle Maori leaned back and asked.

It’s okay to just give high school students pocket money, but even the wages of working people are on their minds.

"go!"

"I can't wait!"

Hattori said as he stood up, his body seemed to be burning with flames.

"..."

Just pick him...

……

"Dennis, the curry here tastes really good." Lin Feng parked the car, glanced at the sign and said.

There is no way to run a chain without some ability.

"The police are here!" Hattori strode inside.

There were many police cars parked at the door, and he was still concerned about Curry at this time. He is worthy of being Brother Lin Feng.

"Who are you? We are temporarily closed now!" The policeman standing at the door stopped Hattori outside.

He doesn't know this black boy.

Hattori was about to explain when he saw the policeman in front of him smile and greeted him eagerly behind him.

"Mr. Mao Li, Mr. Lin Feng, you two masters and apprentices are here to solve the case together, right?"

The big shot from the Metropolitan Police Department is here!
Brothers, we are saved!
"..."

Lin Feng and his friends easily walked into the family restaurant where the murder had taken place, and Hattori also followed in.

"Heiji, Xiaolan, you're here!"

Standing next to the cashier counter, He Ye waved to a few people and told them what had happened.

She was standing there at the time, wanting to buy the vacuum-packed curry on the shelf next to her, when suddenly a foreign man ran out of the bathroom.

The other party ran to the cashier counter and said that someone was dead inside and asked the restaurant to call the police immediately to seal off the entrance and exit.

"Does that foreigner speak English?" Hattori asked curiously.

Which country are they from?
"He didn't speak English, he spoke Japanese fluently. He was the first person to discover the body." He Ye said.

"It sounds a bit suspicious." Uncle Maori said thoughtfully.

Sounds like a criminal.

"No, from the police's point of view, you are more suspicious for entering the scene without permission after a murder."

Inspector Megure, wearing an orange windbreaker, walked behind the crowd with his chubby hands behind his back and said.

“……”Officer Takagi standing behind also looked puzzled.

How did he get in?
"Inspector Megure!" Uncle Maori was startled by the sudden appearance of the person.

It is quite easy to enter the scene.

Most of the time, as long as I go to that station, the other party will think that it was Inspector Megure who invited me there.

"What was the cause of death?" Hattori asked the two more familiar police officers.

Can you confirm it's a homicide?

"It was poisoning. We found a candy in the deceased's mouth that was tested to contain cyanide poison."

"And we also found some of the same candies in the deceased's pocket." Officer Takagi was very honest and took out his notebook and said.

"So, it's possible that it was suicide?" asked Uncle Maori.

"Yes, that's what the foreign man who first discovered the body said." Takagi nodded and said.

"Is he also a detective?" Hattori felt that the other party seemed to have experience in this area.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a detective." A tall foreign man who looked like a gangster appeared.

"He's not?!" Conan looked at Lin Feng with a surprised expression.

When Snake was being dealt with, this tall man was with Teacher Judy and Shuichi Akai.

That’s right, this is also an FBI agent!
"Hmm..." Lin Feng nodded.

This guy looks fierce, but he is actually quite simple-minded. This seems to be his first time interacting with Conan and the others.

It was obvious that Cameron also noticed Lin Feng, and he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"Inspector Megure, can you tell us the details of the situation?" Uncle Maori asked.

"Normally I should refuse, but..."

"Mr. Cameron, could you please explain what happened to them again?"

Inspector Megure didn't know what to say. Faced with Brother Mori's request, he could only ask the person who first discovered the situation to describe it again.

"I understand. Let's go back to the bathroom and explain." Cameron nodded.

After saying that, a large group of people followed him into the bathroom.

Inside the cubicle, the deceased was a middle-aged man with short hair. He was fully dressed and sitting on the toilet lid with his hands hanging limply.

"Why would you come to a place like this to commit suicide..." Uncle Maori felt that it was very depressing to commit suicide in such a small space.

"Has the identity of the deceased been found?" Hattori, as a contestant, asked very concernedly.

"He had nothing on him that could identify him."

"There was only one phone, and it fell into the toilet and was soaked in water." Officer Takagi shook his head and said.

It has been taken back to the police station as evidence, and there should be news back soon. (End of this chapter)
