Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

ヽ(｀Д′)?︵┻━┻┻━┻

Seeing Conan and the others covering their mouths and snickering, Heiji Hattori's dark face instantly turned bright red, and he shouted angrily, "Please! Osaka dialect is also a standard island language!"

Faced with Heiji Hattori's loud roar, Ms. Jodie looked on with a blank expression and asked, "What did you say? What kind of pistol is that?"

"...You really have defeated me!"

Looking at Ms. Judy's silly and cute expression, Heiji Hattori felt like he had punched a cotton ball, and he was speechless.

How stupid could I be to argue with a foreigner about whether the Osaka dialect is standard?

"It's not about the style of a pistol, it's about the vibe!"

Suzuki Seimei chuckled and defused the situation, saying, "Ms. Judy, doesn't your country, America, also have a southern accent?"

"Yes! The tone is different."

Ms. Judy nodded with a look of sudden realization, but a hint of mockery flashed deep in her beautiful eyes.

It's obvious that Ms. Jodie isn't really naive; she just wanted to take the opportunity to tease Heiji Hattori.

Ms. Jodie had also secretly investigated Conan's information, so she naturally knew that Heiji Hattori's relationship with him was unusual. Therefore, she had already recognized Heiji Hattori as the famous high school detective from Osaka.

Ding!

With a soft click, the elevator doors slowly opened, and Hattori Heiji, looking speechless, stepped out first, giving Suzuki Seimei and Conan an annoyed look.

Despite Conan and his friends' best efforts to hold back, their constantly trembling shoulders betrayed the fact that they were secretly laughing.

Heiji Hattori came specifically to help Conan investigate Jodie's identity, but he made a complete fool of himself all night. Doesn't he have any pride?!

boom!

Just as Hattori Heiji was angrily walking to the door, a palm-sized cell phone suddenly fell from the sky with a loud bang, startling him.

"Holy crap! What's going on?"

Still shaken, Hattori Heiji instinctively took a few steps back and couldn't help but curse, "Who's so heartless? Throwing things from a high place can kill people! Why don't you just throw yourself down?!"

"Ah ah ah..."

A shrill scream suddenly came from mid-air, followed by a figure falling from the sky and crashing next to the phone.

"boom!!!"

The immense impact instantly twisted and deformed the figure, splattering blood and internal organs everywhere, creating a grotesque, hellish scene of flesh and blood on the ground.

o(?Д?)っ!

Hattori Heiji, his face filled with disbelief, exclaimed, "What the hell?! He really threw himself down!"

Heiji Hattori was only cursing in a fit of rage because he almost got hit by a phone, but he never expected that someone would actually jump off a building.

Looking at the twisted and deformed corpse, even without getting close, Suzuki Seimei and the others could tell that he was dead.

Therefore, Suzuki Haruaki and his group didn't bother calling an ambulance and directly contacted Inspector Megure.

Beep~woo~~Beep~woo~~Beep~woo~~

Upon receiving the emergency call from Suzuki Haruaki and his team, Inspector Megure immediately led Inspector Takagi and his team to the scene.

"Why are these guys here again?"

When Inspector Megure saw Suzuki Haruaki and the others, he put on a smiling face, but he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

It's one thing for Suzuki Seimei and Conan to be affected, but since they're always around Kogoro Mouri, they're bound to get some bad luck along with them.

But why is Ms. Judy like this too? It seems like she's starting to turn into a grim reaper. This is the umpteenth time I've seen her at a crime scene.

"Ms. Judy, do you know the deceased?"

Officer Takagi walked up to Ms. Judy with his notebook in hand and said with a serious expression, "Could you please tell me in detail what happened just now?"

"OK~"

Ms. Judy nodded slightly and said, "This person is Mr. Takai, who lives next door to me. When we came out just now..."

After listening to Ms. Judy's account, Officer Takagi and his team quickly learned the details of the case.

In particular, when Inspector Megure heard from Haruaki Suzuki and his team that three people had left the victim's house shortly before the incident, he immediately sent people to find those three people.

Chapter 414 Eating Instant Noodles Without Seasoning Packet

"Inspector Megure, something was found on the deceased's phone!"

The forensic officers rushed over, holding a cell phone from the evidence bag. Pointing to the phone's call history, they said to Inspector Megure, "About a minute before the incident, the deceased was talking to this person named Kawakami."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure and Conan's expressions changed simultaneously, and they began to have great suspicions about Kawakami.

After all, the time this person made the phone call was too close to the time the deceased fell from the building, with only a minute or less between them.

Looking at the cell phone in the evidence bag, which had only minor scratches but was still usable, Suzuki Haruaki thought to himself, "This is not scientific!"

Keep in mind that this phone fell from the 21st floor, and not only did it not shatter into pieces, but even the screen didn't break.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Fortunately, cell phones in this era were relatively durable; otherwise, the police would not have been able to discover the communication records between the deceased and the murderer so quickly.

Wait!

Suddenly, Suzuki Seimei thought of something, reached out and touched his chin, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes.

Conan and his friends only suspected that Kawakami was the murderer, but Suzuki Seimei was certain that this person was the murderer.

Since Suzuki Seimei had previously received "1 point of stamina" from Kawakami at Jodie's house, this person should be the murderer in this case.

Although Suzuki Haruaki didn't know exactly how Kawakami had caused the victim to fall, he was certain it was related to the phone call he had made.

What puzzled Suzuki Haruaki was that the phone call Kawakami made was almost a minute apart from the time the deceased fell to his death. Falling from the 21st floor shouldn't have taken that long.

Considering that when Suzuki Harumi and his group arrived at the apartment entrance, they first saw the cell phone falling from the sky, and then a while later, they saw the deceased falling from the sky.

A bold guess formed in Suzuki Haruaki's mind: the deceased did not fall immediately, but grabbed onto something, such as a windowsill or curtains, and held on for a while before falling.

According to the laws of science, if the deceased did not die immediately, they would definitely try to leave some kind of death message before they died.

To confirm his suspicions, Suzuki Haruaki walked up to the forensic officer, raised his cute little face, and asked, "Uncle, is there any clue left on this phone? Like a recording or something?"

"recording?"

Upon hearing this, the forensic officer instinctively picked up his phone and quickly found a new recording. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Inspector Megure, there really seems to be a new recording on the deceased's phone, and it's from the time of the incident!"

"What did you say?!"

Inspector Megure's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted, "Turn on the recording right now!"

"Yes!"

As the forensic officer pressed the record play button, a resentful voice immediately came from the phone: "Then Mr. Takai, you should go down and apologize to Hiraya!"

(°Д°)

Upon hearing the recording left by Mr. Takai before his death, everyone present changed their expressions drastically. It was obvious that the person who caused Mr. Takai to fall from the building was Kawakami, the last person he spoke to!

"Something feels off to me..."

After recovering from his surprise, Inspector Megure wore an expression that suggested he was questioning the meaning of life.

Normally, even if the deceased left a death message, it should be the kind of death message that the police can't understand at all and that requires a famous detective to decipher. How could this death message be so simple?

Inspector Megure waited a while, somewhat suspiciously, and only after seeing that Heiji Hattori, the high school detective, did not offer any further opinions did he allow Inspector Takagi and his team to arrest the culprit.

"Seimei, you're amazing!"

After Inspector Megure and the others left, Ms. Jodie leaned close to Haruaki Suzuki and asked with a curious look, "But how did you know that the deceased's phone would have a recording?"

"Actually, I can't be sure if there were any recordings on the deceased's phone?"

Seimei Suzuki shook his head and said, "I just find it a bit strange. If the deceased fell directly from the building, he should have fallen with his phone."

However, what we saw earlier was that the deceased's phone fell first, and then the deceased fell a while later.

Therefore, I think he didn't fall directly, but rather grabbed onto something before he died, possibly leaving a message of death.

"I see!"

After listening to Suzuki Seimei's explanation, Ms. Jodie nodded with a look of sudden understanding, then patted his little head and said, "Seimei, you're really amazing! Just like a real detective!"

"It's alright~"

Suzuki Seimei smiled modestly and pointed to the somewhat dejected Hattori Heiji and Conan, saying, "Even if I hadn't discovered this just now, I think Heiji and the others would have found the recording on the phone very soon."

(ノ￣ー￣)ノノ(o_oノ)

Upon hearing this, Conan and the others' lips twitched.

That heartless brat!

Being able to successfully catch the culprit is indeed a very happy thing, but Conan and his friends are really not happy right now.

When they saw the case just now, Conan and Heiji Hattori didn't say anything on the surface, but they had already tacitly decided to use the case to have a reasoning showdown.

However, Conan and his friends did not expect that Suzuki Seimei would disregard all sportsmanship and directly hand over the crucial evidence to the police, which almost caused them to lose their composure!

Even if a true detective finds crucial evidence, he cannot easily hand it over to the police.

Instead, you need to put on a perfect deduction show first, deduce the murderer's methods and motives, and then, when the murderer tries to refute you, present the decisive evidence to strike at their heart!

It would be even more perfect if the murderer were to be so emotionally devastated that he would kneel down and repent for his crimes on the spot.

For Conan and Heiji Hattori, the reason they enjoy being detectives is because they enjoy the feeling of showing off (being cool) in front of others.

If you can't put on a brilliant deduction show in front of other people, wouldn't being a detective be too boring?

The behavior of telling the police crucial evidence directly without even reasoning about the murderer's methods and motives, like Suzuki Haruaki just did, is no different from eating instant noodles without adding the seasoning packet!

He's a complete disgrace to the detective profession!
