"Brother Jiashu." Brother Jiashu...Ah!"

Xiaolan and Conan also greeted each other, and the latter even sneezed.

"What's wrong? Are you catching a cold?" Lin Jiashu looked at him and asked.

"Well, maybe it's because the temperature has dropped so much recently that Conan accidentally caught a cold."

"Have you taken your cold medicine?"

"I already gave him some to drink earlier."

"That's fine."

Listening to the conversation between Hayashi Yoshiki and Xiaolan, Hattori Heiji nodded slightly - the other party was indeed a very careful and gentle person.

Compared to this...

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw Kogoro Mouri rubbing his hands together as if he was moving horizontally next to Hayashi Yoshiki and smiling.

Is this guy the sleeping Kogoro?

"Ashu, what did I say last time...?"

"Yoko's autograph? I brought it with me."

“Ah, that’s awesome!!”

When Maori Kogoro received the theater photo signed by Okino Yoko from Hayashi Yoshiki, he was ecstatic. He put it away excitedly and carefully, and then asked Hayashi Yoshiki: "How was it? How was Ms. Yoko's performance on stage?"

"Well, I think it's excellent."

"Right?! I was saying that Miss Yoko's charm--"

"Dad, can't you restrain yourself in front of Jiashu and the guests?"

Facing the beaming Kogoro Mouri, Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed.

However, the middle-aged fan showed no sign of retreating. He continued to talk about how adorable Yoko Okino was and how her new work would definitely be a hit. Facing Ran's helpless expression, Hayashi Yoshiki could only say, "Uncle Maori is right. Yoko is indeed very cute."

Hayashi Yoshiki wasn't lying either, because he thought Okino Yoko's shy and delicate look when she was bullied was really cute...

"So where is Kudo Shinichi?"

Hattori Heiji couldn't sit still anymore.

"Shinichi?" Xiaolan looked at him.

"Hayashi Yoshiki... He told me everything. Your name is Mao Lilan, right? He said you might know where Kudo Shinichi is?"

"Who are you, kid?"

Facing such a somewhat rude kid, Kogoro Mouri spoke a little rudely.

Hattori Heiji immediately revealed his identity.

Hayashi Yoshiki did not participate in their subsequent conversation, but after some reasoning, Hattori Heiji concluded that Kudo Shinichi might be nearby watching this place, and he also fed Conan a glass of white liquor.

Until this moment, the client finally came to the door.

After listening to the request, Maori Kogoro pinched his chin and concluded: "In simple terms, you want to investigate the character of your son's girlfriend?"

"Yes, here are her photos and resume."

The client, Kimie Tsujimura, is the wife of a diplomat. After handing over some simple information, she stated the commission fee and more detailed information and hoped that Kogoro Mori could go to her house to discuss it in detail with her husband.

"Because my husband is a diplomat, if people knew he was looking for a detective for a commission, it might become a scandal. So I hope you can come over to talk."

"Why don't we go over and take a look together?"

Lin Jiashu suggested bluntly.

"After all, I haven't handled many investigation-related commissions yet, and I wanted to learn from Uncle Maori about his experience in completing such commissions."

"Well...Since you said so, Shu, let's go together."

Maori Kogoro was quite pleased with what Hayashi Yoshiki said. He glanced at the rude Hattori Heiji and finally nodded.

So, including Conan, who was dizzy from a cold and drinking, the group went to the diplomat's house.

It was a very imposing single-family building with a garden courtyard.

The butler, Fumio Koike, welcomed the group. Then Takayoshi Tsujimura, the son of a diplomat, appeared with his girlfriend, Sachiko Katsuragi. When the latter greeted him, Kimie Tsujimura's attitude was very harsh: "Why are you here?"

"I asked Sachiko to come," Takayoshi Tsujimura said, his arm around his girlfriend's shoulders. "Because Dad didn't want to meet Sachiko, I forced him to agree... But he's been staying in the study since a while ago."

"Mom, are these your friends?"

"It has nothing to do with you! And I don't think you have the status to speak ill of my mother directly now."

"I'm...I'm sorry--"

Sachiko Katsuragi quickly lowered her head and apologized in a low voice.

Tsujimura Kimie ignored the two of them and led a group of people straight to the study.

She knocked on the study door but no one answered. Finally, she took out the key from her purse and opened the door. As soon as she entered, she saw the bald diplomat sitting at the desk with his face propped up by his hands, looking like he was dozing off.

"Really? You didn't make a sound in the study. And the stereo was on all the time. You just fell asleep like that. Really..."

She walked over and tried to wake him up.

Hattori Heiji and the others were attracted by the music on the speakers and exclaimed in surprise, "It's an opera."

"It's indeed a type of music that is rarely heard," Lin Jiashu said with a smile.

"Ah, speaking of which, what kind of music do you usually listen to, Yoshiki-kun?"

"Me? I listen to a pretty diverse range of music...but I probably prefer rock music."

"Rock?"

Looking at Lin Jiashu's smiling expression, Xiaolan was a little surprised.

The main reason is that the rock music of that era was quite wild, which in Xiaolan's opinion was somewhat in contrast to Lin Jiashu's intellectual appearance.

On the other side, Tsujimura Kimie pushed her husband to wake him up, but she didn't expect that after just a few pushes, he fell down from the chair with his whole body stiff.

"husband?"

Tsujimura Kimie was stunned and quickly squatted down to try to wake him up, "What's wrong? Wake up, husband!?"

The unexpected turn of events made Hattori Heiji and Conan realize that something was wrong. The former walked forward and touched the diplomat's body, and immediately came to a conclusion with a serious face:

"It's no use, he's already dead."

“How could it be—!?”

Lin Jiashu, who had already known that this scene would happen, took out his mobile phone, secretly took a photo and sent it to Gin.

It took only ten seconds before a reply came from the other side.

Gin: "?"

In a safe house somewhere in Beika Town,

Looking at the last text message he sent less than two hours ago, Gin fell into a brief contemplation.

Why is this guy Jundu in such a hurry?

If it were normal times, Gin might not care, but the problem is that the Japanese police are now taking some big actions against the organization, and even he has been keeping a low profile when going out with Vodka recently.

Gin: "Clean up the mess and don't be so hasty next time."

Chapter 85: How can an adult really be serious with a high school student?

"?"

I'm afraid Gin must have misunderstood something.

After taking a look at the diplomat lying there, Lin Jiashu quickly realized that Gin was taking credit for Conan's achievements.

He thought about it and decided to explain. Otherwise, people would really imagine that he was so efficient in killing people, and then Gin would assign him a lot of tasks, which Lin Jiashu would not be able to bear.

"I didn't do this. It was the diplomat's wife."

After editing the text, click Send.

This time Gin didn't reply.

Lin Jiashu put away his phone and turned his attention back to the scene.

In front of the body of diplomat Tsujimura Isao, Hattori Heiji impatiently picked up Conan who was squatting there, and said to Xiaolan in dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with you? Really, how can you let a child see a corpse like this?"

"It doesn't really matter. Conan is quite sensible."

Lin Jiashu walked over with a smile, took Conan from Hattori Heiji and put him back on the ground, "Conan is quite smart, and he may have seen more corpses than I have."

"what?"

"Because I feel like every time I run into Conan, there's always a murder case."

When Lin Jiashu started to help, Conan was surprised and touched, but now he was so angry that he started coughing when he heard what he said.

Ran laughed awkwardly beside him, and Maori Kogoro pinched his chin and said, "It seems to be true... I always feel that the frequency of encountering murder cases has been a bit high recently, and many of them are just ordinary commissions at the beginning."

"Is it that evil?"

Hattori Heiji was a traditional detective who took the initiative to pursue cases. He found it a little hard to imagine this, but he quickly cheered up and said to Hayashi Yoshiki, "It's just right. Let's take this opportunity to see who has the better reasoning ability between the two of us!"

Lin Jiashu didn't respond directly. He looked at Xiaolan and asked, "Xiaolan, have you called the police?"

"Yes, I just called."

Xiaolan nodded immediately.

So before Inspector Megure came over, Hattori Heiji was checking the scene with high morale, and he squatted down to look for any possible traces. Unknowingly, he bumped into Conan who was also very motivated.

Hattori Heiji glanced at him, but didn't pay too much attention to what Lin Jiashu said.

"The deceased's body is still warm, and his lips have turned purple. He must have been poisoned..."

"Ah, there's a little red dot at the root of his hair."

When Hattori Heiji confirmed the cause of Tsujimura Isao's death, Conan followed up and immediately added: "The murder weapon is the poison needle next to it!"

"..."

Because of his calm and cautious tone that didn't sound like a child's, Hattori Heiji looked at him in surprise.

On the other hand, Lin Jiashu, who was eager to have a competition, just came over and took a quick look, then turned around to talk to Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan.

What are you doing? Are you so careless?

He was dissatisfied.

About twenty minutes later, Megure Juzo arrived with his team.

"There are so many people this time, even Brother Lin is here?"

As soon as he saw Lin Jiashu, Megure Jusan immediately felt relieved. He happily walked straight to Lin Jiashu and asked, "How is it? Have you found any problems with this case?"

"The guy was just chatting there and didn't investigate the scene seriously. You might as well ask me, officer." Hattori Heiji walked over.

"who are you?"

"His name is Hattori Heiji, and he's a Kansai detective as famous as Kudo Shinichi."

Lin Jiashu introduced him.

Hattori Heiji, the son of Osaka Metropolitan Superintendent Hattori Heizo, is quite famous in the police system. When Megure Juzo heard about it, he was very surprised and his attitude became much friendlier.

However, Hattori Heiji had nothing to say about this. He was more concerned about the case itself.

"The victim's lips and the front ends of his hands and feet have turned purple, and there are spots of blood on his conjunctiva, all of which are evidence of death by asphyxiation. However, there are no signs of strangulation or drowning. Therefore, the most likely scenario is that the murderer paralyzed the victim's nerves with a highly lethal poison."

"Also, judging by the fact that the deceased still had body heat and no signs of rigor mortis or post-mortem stigma, he must have been killed within thirty minutes before we entered this place."

Hattori Heiji summarized this and glanced at Hayashi Yoshiki at the same time, only to find that the other party was just looking at Conan and seemed a little worried.

"Are you okay Conan?"

".....I feel a little dizzy." Conan looked listless.

"Then let's go lie down and rest for a while." Lin Jiashu looked at Tsujimura Gongjiang with a smile and asked, "Mrs. Tsujimura, is there a room here for the child to rest?"
