Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

"Did you get away safely, Cameron?"

Teacher Judy saw Cameron successfully come out of the family restaurant across the street that was surrounded by police cars, and asked with a smile.

I really didn't expect that I would be involved in a case just because I came to buy some curry.

"Thanks to Mr. Lin Feng for helping me out, the police didn't ask me many questions."

"By the way, this is the person I was talking about just now. He feels a little familiar." Cameron took out his phone and found the photo he had taken secretly.

The person in the photo is Sera.

Judy looked at the photo and couldn't help shaking her head. She didn't know this person either. She would go back and ask Xiuyi and James...

……

"Aren't you guys done arguing yet?" After Lin Feng finished chatting with Inspector Megure, he saw that Hattori and the others were still talking about the Kansai accent.

"This kid really has the ability to make people angry." Hattori said while holding Conan's head.

"Have you agreed on everything?" Conan ignored him and asked the repairman with a wink.

"Well, Officer Megure promised me that the police will not leave Kudo's name in the records." Lin Feng nodded and said.

Troublesome guy...

"No name?"

Sera looked confused.

"It was Shinichi's brother's request. He is working on other cases and has to keep a low profile as much as possible." Conan explained with a smile.

"That kid really suddenly became shameless."

Uncle Maori thought back to the days when the high school detective was very popular and appeared frequently in newspaper news.

I don’t know what case it is that has caused so much pressure.

"Really? I've also heard from my classmates that Kudo-san is the type who likes to be in the spotlight, and now he actually mainly asks to remain invisible during the case." Sera said, glancing at Conan.

"Yes, by the way, Brother Heiji, are you coming to Tokyo for something this time?" Conan turned around and found Osaka Kurokuni who looked like he was watching a show.

Say something!
"I almost forgot. Let's go back and talk about it first." Hattori was stunned, glanced at Sera who had been asking about Kudo's information, and said with a light cough.

He was so absorbed in solving the case that he actually forgot about other important matters.

After saying goodbye to Inspector Megure and saying they would go back to take the statement, everyone returned to the Polo shop.

Hattori and his companions were busy solving the case and had not yet eaten, so they happened to solve the meal problem here.

“This curry tastes pretty good!”

"Actually, this matter is a bit weird." Hattori first praised Paul's craftsmanship, and then took out a letter.

"Weird?"

"Why do you always encounter these weird and strange things?" Lin Feng looked strange.

This guy should go and worship God.

"How would I know that a dead person would actually send a letter?" Hattori began to explain.

He was also shocked before he even read the content.

"That person is someone my mother knows. He is the president of a design company in Tokyo. His name is Wakamatsu. I have met him several times before."

"I heard that he was murdered in his villa in Karuizawa last month." Hattori talked about the origin of this strange letter.

He asked Officer Otaki to help investigate. The day of the incident happened to be Mr. Wakamatsu's wife's birthday, and they were having a party in the villa.

The local police believed that someone broke into the villa to steal money and happened to be caught by Mr. Wakamatsu, so they killed him.

The burglary turned into a murder.

"Could it be a letter sent before someone was killed?" Sera asked in surprise.

How can a dead person send a letter?

"No, the letter was postmarked ten days after the murder."

"Although the sender's name is Wakamatsu Kohei, it should not be sent by him personally." Hattori shook his head and took the letter out of the envelope.

Dear Mr. Hattori Heiji, because I really want to meet you, a high school detective, I want to confess to you the crimes I have committed.

However, even if we meet, I am a little skeptical whether you can see me clearly?
I say this because I am an abnormal existence that you humans have arbitrarily created, an illusion that you will never be able to truly see.

If you ever want to meet me again, I'll be waiting for you on the next full moon night at the home of the man I killed.

"Then, at the end of the letter was the address of the victim, Mr. Wakamatsu, in his hometown of Osaka."

"Here is the key to the house."

Hattori put the letter on the table and took out a key from the envelope.

"In other words, this letter is most likely sent to you by the murderer, who wants to arrange a meeting with you?"

Lin Feng was not sure whether the other party's mental state was normal.

Of course, it's also possible that someone who knows the truth wants to meet with the detective?

No, wouldn't it be easier to just tell the truth...

"I don't know who sent the letter." Hattori shook his head.

"Didn't you go to the victim's house in Osaka to keep the appointment?"

Uncle Maori asked with some surprise.

This guy doesn't seem like the type to be scared and afraid to keep a date.

"I happened to have a cold at that time, and this guy actually took the key away on his own initiative." Hattori looked at Kazuha, smiled helplessly and said.

"I went there on your behalf, Heiji," Kazuha retorted.

"He Ye, are you going there alone, to meet that phantom who killed people?!" Xiaolan was a little impressed by the other party's courage.

"Not really. I brought three friends with me at the time, and they all said this was like a game of courage, so they agreed right away."

"It turned out that it didn't look like some spooky haunted house at all."

"It should be the place where the deceased president would occasionally stay when he returned to Osaka. The house is very clean and the electrical appliances are almost all working properly."

He Ye shook his head. At least from the outside, the villa looked normal, and the decoration inside was also luxurious.

After they opened the door and went in, they didn't feel any fear at all.

Until I wanted to visit the bathroom in the mansion...

Hearing that there was indeed something unusual in the villa, Xiaolan nervously grabbed Conan's shoulder.

"If you're scared, don't listen..." Conan looked speechless and muttered to himself.

"What exactly happened?" Sera saw that He Ye's face looked a little unhappy, and asked curiously.

"Yes, there was a scary-looking person with long hair, leaning against the wall of the bathroom!" Recalling that scene, He Ye did feel it was quite scary.

"Did you talk to each other?" Conan asked quickly.

Is there really someone waiting for Hattori in there???

Is it the murderer?

"We had just seen the man when all the lights went out. We were just trying to figure out what to do when we heard these horrible crackling sounds."

"When I wanted to escape, the lights suddenly came on again, and the person who was in the bathroom just now suddenly disappeared!" He Ye told a thrilling horror story.

"He probably used a remote control to cut off the power and then ran away." Uncle Maori said without even thinking.

If he was going to run away when he saw someone, then why was he waiting there in the first place? What a strange guy.

"If that were all, I wouldn't have come here specially." Hattori shook his head and said.

In the bathroom where the guy disappeared, there was a piece of paper left.

It is printed out by a printer.

[It is only your body that disappears, not the words]

"What words?" Everyone looked puzzled. "There are three English letters carved on the bathroom wall with a dagger or a knife."

"EYE, the scratches are big and clear, right next to the man's head." He Ye nodded and said.

And these three letters disappeared at the same time as that person disappeared.

"eye?"

"Disappeared?"

"Could there be something wrong with the tiles?" Uncle Maori asked, a little confused.

For example, a tile prepared in advance is stuck to the wall and taken away when escaping, or simply exchanged with other inconspicuous tiles.

"That shouldn't be the case, because the tiles in that bathroom are gradient in color from top to bottom, and I've looked at it carefully." He Ye was also brave enough and ran into the bathroom by himself to check out the situation.

"How long will the power outage last?" Amuro, who had been standing next to him for some time, asked.

"Probably three or five minutes. We were standing at the bathroom door hugging each other." He Ye said a little embarrassedly.

"It's really curious that this mysterious man suddenly did this." Amuro thought and said with a smile.

This case sounds very interesting.

"Not only that, when Mr. Wakamatsu was murdered in Karuizawa, he was in a bathroom with the same tiles."

"Moreover, when his body was first discovered, there should have been a ante-death message left by Mr. Wakamatsu in blood, but after the police arrived, the ante-death message inexplicably disappeared."

Hattori gulped down a large glass of water and spoke.

A little spicy.

"What do you mean there should be a message before death?" Lin Feng didn't quite understand.

"Because there is blood on Mr. Wakamatsu's fingers, it is obvious that something has been written on them. It's very strange, isn't it?" Hattori couldn't figure it out either.

There was no luminol reaction on the tiles near the bloody finger.

"..."

Conan lowered his head when he heard this.

"Both bathrooms have the same type of tiles, which get lighter from top to bottom."

"It's very likely that the person that Kazuha saw used the same method to make the words disappear, right?" Hattori rubbed Conan's dog head and said.

"Ok!"

Conan nodded.

It seems that the guy who made an appointment with Hattori must have a big problem!

"This person died in Karuizawa, and a mysterious man appeared in Osaka. Why did you come to Tokyo?" Lin Feng asked.

"I'm planning to visit Mr. Wakamatsu's family in Tokyo to ask about the details of the case. I've asked my mother to give them a heads up in advance."

"How about we go take a look together?" Hattori asked everyone.

"I'm fine." Uncle Maori nodded.

There hasn't been any good business coming to me recently, and I've been very idle. It's rare that I come across a case like this, so it might be a good idea for me to go and take a look myself.

"Teacher Maori, please take me with you to see it." As a disciple who has paid tuition, it is not excessive for Amuro to ask this.

"What about me? I can go too!" Sera was very interested in this and planned to sign up immediately.

"Sorry, if you're included, there will be too many people." Hattori refused with a smile.

Seeing how curious this guy is about Kudo, it's better to stay away from him.

"Eh?"

"How come it sounds like a last-minute decision?" Sera expressed disbelief.

Mr. Mao Li, Mr. Lin Feng and Mr. Amuro, all of you...

"Go if you want to. I can give you my seat." Lin Feng said with a smile.

God knows what kind of incidents this group of people will cause if they run into other people's homes.

Maybe the gas tank will explode...

"Really?" Sera was very happy.

"..."

Hattori and Conan exchanged glances.

"With so many people visiting, remember to bring some gifts." Lin Feng reminded them while fiddling with the phone with his head down.

"That's right, Manager, I can make some more cakes as gifts this afternoon." Amuro nodded.

"Okay, prepare some gifts for me too. I want to go home and celebrate." Lin Feng agreed with his chef's idea.

"Celebrating what?"

"As the person who beat the suspect so badly that he fell unconscious, Officer Megure just called and asked you to come over later."

Uncle Maori held up the newspaper, not thinking that the repairman would have any free time to eat cake tonight.

"Seriously injured and unconscious?"

Amuro looked at the store manager.

How is this going?

"That was self-defense." Lin Feng looked helpless.

Nothing will happen to me, just a little troublesome, it's okay as long as this situation is acceptable.

"Awesome." Sera said from the bottom of his heart.

It was like a slap that sent a light puppet flying.

"..."

Conan and Hattori made eye contact.

You see, this guy is not normal.

It would be nice to wait until night to feel her bottom...

……

the other side.

Cameron reported to his superiors what happened today.

"Dialect?"

Hearing such an interesting case, Shuichi Akai also smiled.

"I got a lot of things wrong and almost led the police astray." Cameron said, scratching his head.

People like little Abe have no idea what's going on.

However, fortunately, his identity was not exposed, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble.

“Oh, and here’s this photo.”

Cameron took out his phone, found the photo of the girl he had taken, and was about to give it to Shuichi Akai when he suddenly froze in place.

This side face...

"It seems you have discovered something strange." Shuichi Akai took the phone from the other party, took a look at it, deleted it directly, and said with a smile.

"..."

Looking at the deleted photos, Cameron knew in his heart that he should not mention this matter again.

"Kudo Shinichi..."

Akai Shuichi muttered the name, tapping the table with his fingers. (End of this chapter)
