Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 182 Isn't this obvious at a glance?

Because there were too many interfering factors at the scene, and because a homicide case was more important than an attempted theft, the criminal police who came to investigate were basically focusing on investigating the homicide case.

A cordon was set up here where the theft happened, and there was no one walking around inside.

The leading detective put up a cordon around Tachibana Shizuka and Hattori Heiji and let them walk into the office.

Looking at the disorganized clues, even Hattori Heiji found it a bit tricky.

It's not that there are no clues at the scene, but there are too many clues. So many that they have become interference, hiding the real clues among them.

This move of hiding the tree in the forest cannot be said to be ugly.

"Tachibana, I'll leave it to you from now on." Hattori Heiji is not the kind of person who would endure hardship without any hardship.

With a survey expert like Tachibana Shizuka around, it's natural that he can make the best use of his talents. With Tachibana Shizuka out there, does he still need Hattori Heiji to cry and look for clues?

impossible!

Tachibana Shizuka did not shirk responsibility and immediately opened his Eye of Insight to slowly survey the scene.

Usually, when Tachibana Shizuka used the Eye of Insight, only three or two useful clues would emerge.

This time, what was unprecedented was that Jingsi Ju discovered that at just the first location, four or five pieces of information that needed to be marked popped up, and this was without Jingsi Ju moving a step.

Tachibana Shizuka was not polite and called Hattori Heiji to his side and began to point at the traces on the ground and asked Hattori Heiji to organize them.

The most common and important traces are footprints.

Footprint identification is a profound subject, easy to learn but difficult to master. But with the Insight cheat, Tachibana Shizuka seemed to have taken a shortcut. By analyzing a single footprint, or even just half a footprint, he could quickly infer the identities of the people who left them.

Tachibana Shizuka scanned the entire room with his naked eyes, and finally straightened up and looked at Hattori Heiji beside him.

"So let's summarize, Hattori. Which of these people entering the office do you think are suspicious?"

Hattori Heiji didn't even look at the notebook and said directly: "Mark 4 and Mark 6.
These two footprints have basically covered every unusual place at the scene. If nothing unexpected happens, it must be one of these two people who came to the office to steal things."

"Or both."

When Tachibana Shizuka heard Hattori Heiji talking about these two people, he couldn't help laughing. Seeing Hattori Heiji's puzzled look, Tachibana Shizuka explained:

"Mark 4 is likely a female, about 164cm tall and weighing 50kg, plus or minus 2kg.

She should have been wearing flat pointed leather shoes when she entered the scene, but she probably usually wears high heels.

His gait suggests he is very young, no older than 24, and he is in good shape but has an average mental state.”

This didn't even require analysis. Based on what Tachibana Shizuka said, Hattori Heiji matched the suspect with a female graduate student in the tour group.

"Where's the other one?"

"The other one is even more interesting. Mark 6 is a male, no taller than one meter, weighing no more than 20 kilograms, and wearing sneakers.

It is worth mentioning that many of the Mark 6 traces found at the scene were from both hands and feet.”

"Does that mean Conan has already investigated this place?" Hattori Heiji suddenly realized. He didn't need to listen to what came next. The fact that he was less than one meter tall was enough for people to make a judgment.

Less than one meter tall. There is no one in the entire hotel so short except Conan, the elementary school student.

"It seems the truth has come out?" Hattori Heiji sighed. Reality is really ridiculous. A high school student actually turned into a child.

This kind of thing actually happened. Hattori Heiji thought about it and then asked: "What are you going to do?"

"what?"

"Are you going to tell Xiaolan about Conan?" Hattori Heiji got to know Xiaolan through Shizuka Tachibana, so naturally he would have a closer relationship with Shizuka Tachibana.

Some things always need to be asked in advance, otherwise what if Hattori Heiji lets something slip and delays Tachibana Shizuka's important business?
"As for Conan's matter, I plan to find some time to tell Xiaolan after I get back." Tachibana Shizuka didn't hesitate, or perhaps the time for hesitation was over.

The Conan of today is no longer the Conan in the original work.

In the original novel, Tachibana Shizuka was not involved, and Conan had been living in the office. But now Conan has been withdrawn by the Kudo family, and Amuro Toru downstairs is still eyeing him.

Even Conan has his mother in Tokyo now.

At this time, if Tachibana Shizuka wants to hide Conan's identity, then we can only hope that the Kudo family will also hide Conan's identity from Xiaolan.

But if he does this, Tachibana Shizuka will undoubtedly be the passive party, and the deeper his relationship with Xiaolan becomes, the more passive Tachibana Shizuka will become.

In essence, if Tachibana Shizuka didn't know Conan's identity, he could just say that he didn't know either.

But now that Hattori Heiji knows, Tachibana Shizuka thinks there's no point in hiding it from Ran.

The timing is actually just right now. It seems that Kudo Yukiko has not yet confronted her son, which proves that Conan still has to hide his identity from Xiaolan.

As long as Shizuka Tachibana reveals Conan's identity in advance, the dishonest person or the liar will not be Shizuka Tachibana.

Conan becomes the passive party.

"Well, it's good that you know about this kind of thing. Come to think of it, I thought you were going to hide it from Mori like Conan did."

Hattori Heiji felt a little emotional. He really didn't expect Tachibana Shizuka to make such a choice.

"Is it a difficult choice? Actually, it's not difficult at all. If you want to make your future less passive, lying is definitely not a good option.

One lie requires many lies to cover it up. As the lies increase, it becomes harder and harder to tell the truth.

Don’t you think Conan is like this now?”

"In fact, telling Xiaolan about the situation earlier would be beneficial for the future. We can all imagine that Conan got into quite a bit of trouble this time.

But it's really fucked up that this guy lives in the office."

Hattori Heiji suddenly realized: "So that's why you took the opportunity to send Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko in?"

Tachibana Shizuka didn't deny it: "At least it's a reminder, don't involve other people in your family's affairs.

You have to know that if Kudo's rejuvenation is exposed and he continues to live in the office, Ran and Uncle Mori will probably never have peace."

"They say they don't know Conan's situation, but who would believe that? Is the famous detective, Maori Kogoro, a fool?

Could it be that my childhood sweetheart, who I spend every day with, is so foolish?"

“It’s all a mess.”

Tachibana Shizuka's sigh reminded Hattori Heiji of their group's first action. Wasn't that to investigate whether Kogoro Mouri's reasoning skills were real?

Now they seem to have a result - that is, Kogoro Mori may have some level, but it seems not much?
