"Okay, okay," Hattori Heiji was angry in his heart, with a look of disgust on his face, "That guy is not here, why are we mentioning him? Aren't you curious about what important things I have in Tokyo this time? ?"
"By the way," Mouri Kogoro asked, "When you come to Tokyo this time, you won't bring any unsolved cases, right?"
"That's right, it's actually this..."
Hattori Heiji took out an opened letter from his coat pocket, opened it again, put the letter on the table, and told what happened.
Kohei Wakamatsu, the president of a Tokyo design company, was killed in his villa in Karuizawa last month.
Hattori Heiji's mother and Wakamatsu Kohei were friends, and Hattori Heiji had met each other several times. After the incident, Hattori Heiji asked Officer Otaki of the Osaka Prefectural Police to investigate. On the day of the incident, Wakamatsu Kohei's wife's birthday party happened to be held in the villa. , after police investigation, it was determined that someone sneaked into the villa to steal, was discovered by Wakamatsu Kohei, and killed Wakamatsu Kohei.
Not long after, Hattori Heiji received a letter signed by Wakamatsu Kohei. Although it was signed in the name of the deceased, the content of the letter seemed to be the tone of the murderer.
The letter reads:
'Dear Mr. Hattori Heiji, I must meet with you, the high school detective, to confess the crimes I have committed. However, even if we meet, I have some doubts about whether you can see me, because I am an abnormal existence created by you humans without permission, a phantom that you cannot really see. If you still want to meet me, I will wait for you at the house of the man I killed on the next full moon night. '
At the end of the letter, the address of Wakamatsu Kohei's hometown in Osaka was also written. It was sent in an envelope, and there was also a key to the house.
While a few people were talking, Toyama and Ye also came back with packaged curry, and told Hattori Heiji what happened next.
Hattori Heiji originally wanted to visit, but unfortunately he caught a cold, so Toyama Kazuha took the key, called three brave classmates, and went to Wakamatsu Kohei's old house in Osaka on the night of the full moon.
The house is beautifully decorated and does not look dilapidated or desolate like a haunted house at all.
Yuan Shan and Ye and a group of girls took it as a day trip to the mansion and looked around together. However, when they went to the bathroom, as soon as they opened the door, they saw a long-haired man lying motionless on the floor against the wall. The three English letters 'EYE' are engraved on the tiles next to the head.
Before the four girls could call the police, there was a sudden power outage in the house, and there was a strange clicking sound in the bathroom.
In less than five minutes, the lights came back on. The man in the bathroom had disappeared, and the three letters carved on the tiles had also disappeared.
At the same time, a printed note was left at the scene: [Only my body disappeared, not the words! 】
The person might have used a remote control to control the power outage and run away in the darkness, but the scratches on the tiles also disappeared, which makes it difficult to explain.
Hattori Heiji also thought about whether that person had pried off the tiles, scattered the tiles, and swapped them with the tiles in other places. After all, there were many scratches on the tiles on the wall of the bathroom near the floor, but those tiles were The color gradually becomes lighter from top to bottom. The color of the tiles at the head of the long-haired man is obviously much darker than the color of the tiles in the corner. If the tiles have been replaced, it should be obvious at a glance.
Because something was strange, Hattori Heiji planned to go and take a look in person. When he got there, the house was ready to be remodeled. There were many construction workers there, and Hattori Heiji was not allowed to enter.
What’s important is that the bathroom where Kohei Wakamatsu was murdered was the bathroom of the Karuizawa villa. The tiles in the bathroom were the same as the tiles in the bathroom back home in Osaka. Hattori Heiji heard that the color was just a little different, but it gradually became lighter from top to bottom. After Wakamatsu Kohei was killed, he seemed to have left a death message on the ground with his bloody finger. The bloody index finger was still on the floor. However, the police did not see the blood-stained writing at the scene. Wakamatsu There were no traces of pre-death messages detected using luminol reagents near Koping's body.
"If the murderer used the same technique as what Kazuha saw in the bathroom of Osaka's house..." Hattori Heiji said, "Don't you think it's suspicious?"
Conan was already intrigued by the magical events and nodded repeatedly, "It's really suspicious!"
"So I want to go visit Mr. Wakamatsu's home in Tokyo and investigate the case. My mother also agreed," Hattori Heiji asked, "You will also go together, right?"
"This..." Yueshui Nanatsuki looked at Chi Feichi.
Chi Feichi nodded, "If it's convenient, I'd like to take a look."
He wanted to see if space could absorb any original sin.
Sera Masaki pointed at herself expectantly and asked, "Then I'll go too, okay?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here before, so I agreed with Mr. Wakamatsu's family that seven people would go," Hattori Heiji smiled and refused Sera Masumi, "Me, Kazuha, Conan, Mr. Mori, Xiaolan, plus Not Brother Chi and Sister Nanatsuki, there are exactly seven of them!"
"ah?!"
Sera Mazen was a little unwilling.
If she could follow him, she might be able to find out whether Mr. Chi knew Conan's true identity.
Even if she couldn't tell, she could still see how strong Mr. Chi was.
The scratches and death messages on the ceramic tiles disappear out of thin air. No matter how you think about it, you think it is impossible for humans to do it...
"Don't be so disappointed!" Isogai Nagisa smiled and put his hand on Sera Masumi's shoulder. He also looked familiar. He smiled and winked at Sera Masumi, "Since you can't investigate, do you want to go with me? Why don’t you go shopping in the commercial street? Shopping can make people feel better!”
Sera Masumi thought that Isogai Nagisa knew Ike Fei Chi, Conan and others, and seemed to know the FBI agents. Thinking that he could get some information, he immediately agreed with a smile, "Okay, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway!"
Chi Feichi was worried that his daughter would go bankrupt sooner or later if she went shopping every day. He looked up at Nagisa Isogai and asked, "Can your wallet hold up if you go shopping every day?"
Isogai Nagisa stood up with Sera Masumi in his arms. Just as he was about to say goodbye to the others, he smiled and said, "Dad, you don't want to give me pocket money, do you?"
Chi Feichi nodded, "It's not impossible."
After all, she is the daughter who calls him 'daddy'.
Isogai Nagisa didn't expect Chi Fei Chi to dare to respond. Seeing Chi Fei Chi's calm and serious look, he believed that Chi Fei Chi really dared to give. He quickly smiled and waved his hand, "I'm kidding you! If I accept your money, That’s too weird… Then we’ll leave first and you continue!”
After saying that, Isogai Nagisa immediately turned around and pulled Sera Mazumi out. He seemed to be worried that Chi Fei would be late with the money, so he ran as fast as running for his life.
…
after an hour……
Mouri Kogoro drove Koshimi Nanatsuki's commercial vehicle near the restaurant, and pulled a large group of people to Wakamatsu Kohei's house.
Wakamatsu Kohei also has a luxurious house in Tokyo. The car was parked outside the yard. Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Ye got out of the car first, made sure that the last name on the house plate was correct, and then went back to the car to wait for others to get off.
Mouri Kogoro did not get out of the car in a hurry. He turned to look at Chi Feichi who was sitting in the last row of seats with his eyes closed, and asked aloud, "Feichi, are you feeling better?"
After getting in the car, Chi Feichi said, "I feel a little tired," and began to rest against the back of the chair with his eyes closed. In fact, his left eye was always connected to the attribute space, observing the changes in the platform's fan shape.
Probably a few seconds before the car stopped, the black part of the sector where the characters 'Gluttony', 'Angry', and 'Greed' were located turned white at a significantly increased speed.
Observation shows that the speed of space change is indeed related to the intensity of the 'Seven Deadly Sins' nearby. When there are murders and murderers nearby, the speed of space change will accelerate.
Since his stay here will not affect the space's ability to absorb evil, there is no need for him to get involved.
He was never interested in the case, he just wanted to explore the laws of spatial change.
I don’t know if I can escape from the transcript of the family restaurant case just now, and I haven’t finished the transcript of the previous kidnapping incident at the Mori Detective Agency yet...
If he continues to run into cases, he will have to accumulate a lot of records to be done.
"I'm still a little tired," Chi Feichi didn't bother to restore his left eye to its original state, and closed his eyes and said, "You go ahead and don't worry about me. I'll go find you after I've rested."
Mouri Kogoro sighed in annoyance, "If I had known better, I would have sent you back to rest..."
Mao Lilan took Conan out of the car and asked worriedly, "Brother Fei Chi, do you need to ask dad to take you to the hospital?"
"Yes, if you really feel uncomfortable, ask your uncle to take you to a nearby hospital for a checkup." Hattori Heiji poked his head by the car door, "We just go in and tell Mrs. Wakamatsu!"
"No," Chi Feichi felt that he couldn't send these people away without opening his eyes. He restored his left eye to its original shape and opened it to prove that he was still alive. "I don't feel any physical discomfort, I just can't cheer up." , just rest for a while.”
Conan climbed into the car again and took out the medicine box he had held for a long time from his pocket. Between 'handing the medicine and then being mercilessly rejected by Chi Feichi' and 'watching Chi Feichi's condition worsen', Firmly choosing the former, he was mentally prepared to be rejected. He opened the medicine box and leaned forward to hand it over, "Brother Chi, I brought the medicine Haiyuan gave me. The first box in the third row is for most mental disorders." As for medicine for diseases, Dr. Fukuyama said before that if you feel irritable, restless, or have hallucinations, you can take one. The second box is for antidepressants, and the third box is for common sedatives and sleeping pills. , because I don’t know how you feel specifically, so..."
Chi Feichi reached for a sedative and sleeping pill, took the mineral water aside, took the medicine, drank water, and closed his eyes.
Okay, he admitted that he was sick and took the medicine. This should be able to send these people away, right?
Conan didn't expect Chi Feichi to take medicine. He thought that Chi Feichi's condition should be more serious than he thought. It was so serious that Chi Feichi himself was willing to take medicine. He immediately lowered his voice and said, "Then you have a good rest, we will I won’t bother you anymore.”
"I will leave the keys in the car," Mouri Kogoro opened the door and got out of the car, and warned, "The windows have also been left. Don't close the windows..."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki sat next to Chi Feichi, leaned between the seats in front, and whispered to the others, "I'll stay in the car and take care of Mr. Chi. He just took sleeping pills. Leave him alone in the car. I Not very reassured."
The others looked at each other and nodded.
They didn't feel at ease leaving Chi Fei Chi alone in the car.
