Gin doesn't want to work hard

Conan frowned slightly, as if suddenly realizing something.

I have a feeling that Kurosawa is being a bit... perfunctory?

Kurosawa noticed Conan's unusual behavior.

He turned to look at Conan.

"Conan, what's your opinion?"

Conan was stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately.

Upon seeing this, Hattori Heiji immediately burst into laughter.

"Haha, Kurosawa-kun."

"Although this child is precocious, reasoning is not an easy thing."

"If you ask me, you should just keep listening to me."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and rubbed Conan's head a few times.

Conan retorted instinctively.

"What you just said wasn't that difficult!"

"The murderer is the second suspect you mentioned, isn't he?"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji was somewhat surprised.

"Oh? Do you have a detailed reasoning process?"

Conan adjusted his glasses upon hearing this.

Although he hadn't said anything, he remembered everything Hattori Heiji had said.

With these, he could deduce the whole story.

Conan smiled confidently and began to speak fluently.

Hattori Heiji's gaze shifted from doubt to astonishment.

"You little rascal, you've got some skills after all!"

"However, I also encountered a case."

"This time, you definitely won't understand!"

Conan also became interested and gestured for Hattori Heiji to start talking.

The two then engaged in a question-and-answer session.

Kurosawa silently slowed his pace and fell behind the two.

Seeing Conan completely forget what he was thinking just now, Kurosawa smiled.

……

Conan and Heiji Hattori chatted all the way to the restaurant.

They only stopped talking after they sat down and the food was served.

Only then did the two realize that they had seemingly overlooked Kurosawa without even noticing.

"Sorry, Kurosawa-kun."

Both of them apologized at the same time.

Hearing that the other person said the same thing made them both a little unhappy.

"Kid, you should be polite. You should call me Kurosawa-nii!"

Heiji Hattori tries to correct Conan's way of addressing him.

Conan chuckled twice but did not answer.

He keeps saying he wants to call him "Kurosawa-nii" (older brother Kurosawa), but when he started calling him "Kurosawa-nii," Hattori Heiji was still nowhere to be found!

Hattori Heiji looked at the child sitting opposite him. Although the child had a bad temper, Hattori Heiji had to admit that his reasoning ability was very strong.

Although they only chatted for a short while, Conan had already demonstrated his sharp mind and quick reflexes.

Even the most inconspicuous clues will be noticed by Conan as soon as Heiji Hattori mentions them.

In addition, Conan has a strong logical ability.

His words were concise, clear, and well-organized.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Hattori Heiji would have found it hard to believe that such a child could say such a thing.

However, this reasoning ability, combined with his way of speaking...

Heiji Hattori felt a sense of familiarity.

Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind.

Shinichi Kudo?!

Heiji Hattori's eyes widened slightly as he looked Conan over once more.

He remembers.

The last time Shinichi Kudo appeared, this kid happened to be absent.

After Shinichi Kudo disappeared, the group chased after him, only to find this brat instead...

Could it be that?

Hattori Heiji's pupils contracted as he made a startling guess.

He looked at Conan, who was eating, and decided to test him again later.

Kurosawa noticed Heiji Hattori's change and knew that Conan might be exposed soon.

But Kurosawa didn't seem to intend to remind him.

After all, isn't this quite interesting?

……

After meal.

Heiji Hattori called out to Conan.

"Kid, I still have a few cases to handle."

"Would you like to try your deduction skills again?"

Conan was unaware that he had already given himself away.

Upon hearing this, he immediately agreed.

After all, Conan has already answered the thousand questions, and the remaining reasoning questions will have to wait until tonight.

Before this, Conan hadn't figured out what he was going to do.

Since Heiji Hattori said so, Conan didn't mind playing a deduction game for a while.

Hattori Heiji laughed when he saw this.

He slowly recounted a case.

This time, Heiji Hattori only described what he had seen from beginning to end, without adding a single thought of his own.

In other words, Conan has to figure out all the clues and deductions himself.

Conan noticed the change in Heiji Hattori's narration.

He couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.

Thinking about Heiji Hattori's purpose in coming here, Conan realized that his performance just now might have been too outstanding.

Just as Conan was about to pretend to be a child, Heiji Hattori suddenly laughed.

"Hmph, brat, you should just admit defeat!"

"As expected, you couldn't deduce it successfully without my help, right?"

"A kid is a kid. No matter how mature he becomes, he's still just a kid!"

Hearing this, Conan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seems that Hattori Heiji has no doubts about himself.

"In that case," Conan said, looking at Hattori Heiji who was grinning from ear to ear, deliberately using a childlike tone.

"Heiji-nii, actually I have my own thoughts too."

"Listen to this and see if it's right..."

Conan, speaking in a high-pitched voice, was completely unaware of Heiji Hattori's increasingly eerie smile.

Chapter 116 Conan, you must be Shinichi Kudo?

After Conan finished speaking, Heiji Hattori grabbed him and lifted him up.

He leaned close to Conan's face and said, word by word.

"So, you really are Shinichi Kudo, aren't you?"

Although it was a question, Hattori Heiji's expression was one of certainty, clearly indicating that he had already made up his mind about it.

Oops!

Conan exclaimed in alarm upon seeing this.

Cold sweat streamed down his face, but Conan still managed a forced smile.

"Heiji-nii, what are you saying?"

"I don't understand?"

"Stop pretending!"

Hattori Heiji snorted coldly.

"I've only ever seen this kind of reasoning ability in Shinichi Kudo."
