Chapter 627: Conan talked someone to death

The three got off the elevator and walked out of the building.

Click, click...

The sound of a camera shutter and the flash of a light rang out not far away.

"Ah, right, I remember now."

Jodie suddenly stopped in her tracks, looking around nervously.

"What's wrong?" Conan and Hattori Heiji stopped in confusion and turned back.

"Wait a moment, let me observe the situation first to see if there's any danger."

"Why?" Conan was completely baffled.

Jodie said: "Akaso-san said you two are Gods of Death; people die wherever you go, so he told me to be careful when going out. So I have to check the situation first and confirm it's safe before going out."

We're Gods of Death?

Conan and Hattori Heiji both had faces full of black lines as they listened to Jodie.

Hattori Heiji said angrily: "Isn't that guy Akaso Kaze going too far? Saying we're Gods of Death and people die wherever we go. If that were really true, why is everything fine here!"

"Yeah! Exactly!"

Conan nodded in agreement and pointed outside the building door.

Because it was a high-end apartment, there was no one around, and in the distance, there was only one woman taking pictures of the building.

"Jodie-sensei, don't listen to that charlatan. Look around, there isn't even a shadow of a person. I don't believe it—could someone just fall from the sky?!"

As soon as Conan finished speaking, a "bang" suddenly came from not far ahead.

The three turned their heads to look, only to see an open mobile phone lying on the ground a few steps away, bouncing twice before coming to a stop.

"Is that a phone? Strange, where did it fall from?"

Hattori Heiji was a bit puzzled and was about to walk over to take a look when a whistling sound suddenly came from the air.

Then, a heavy object "thudded" right next to the phone, splashing a patch of blood.

"This, this is someone who fell!"

Hattori Heiji saw clearly what had fallen to the ground and was instantly dumbfounded. He turned his head in disbelief, just in time to meet Conan's terrified gaze.

This is too coincidental!

Especially Conan, who was scared out of his wits.

He had just said someone would fall from the sky, and then someone did, and they even died from the fall.

This person... could they have been talked to death by me?

Conan looked at the corpse on the ground, his mouth twitching twice, and he defended himself with a face full of black lines:

"No, I'm not any God of Death! They definitely weren't talked to death by me! This must be a coincidence! It must be a coincidence!"

"Uh~"

Hattori Heiji looked at Conan, speechless.

You guy, why did you have to say something like that? The problem is, it actually came true.

Even he was starting to believe the rumors about the God of Death.

Of course, only Conan was the God of Death; it had nothing to do with him, Hattori Heiji.

Jodie also opened her mouth wide in surprise.

She didn't expect what Akaso Kaze said to be true.

Someone really died.

However, having experienced the incident at the game center, Jodie had a certain understanding of the Onmyoji's predictive abilities and quickly recovered.

She feigned a look of horror and said: "Conan-kun, don't deny it. You are definitely a God of Death! Look, you just said it, and it immediately came true."

Conan opened his mouth, completely unable to defend himself.

He clutched his chest, a sense of bitterness from being wrongly accused welling up in his heart.

I am not a God of Death, damn it!

This person falling has absolutely nothing to do with me!

Hattori Heiji walked quickly to the fallen body and checked it briefly.

"Looking at this person's condition, they fell from a high altitude and died instantly; there's no saving them. Jodie-sensei, do you know him? Is he a resident of this building?"

Jodie walked over and looked carefully for a moment.

"I know him; he should be Mr. Takai who lives next door to us. But how could he..."

As Jodie was speaking, the woman who had been taking pictures in the distance suddenly rushed over. Looking at the corpse on the ground, she covered her mouth with a sob and collapsed to the ground in despair.

"H-how? Is it really Takai? H-how could he commit suicide?"

What? Suicide?

All three were stunned.

Hattori Heiji looked suspiciously at the woman and asked: "This lady, may I ask who you are and what your relationship is to the deceased? Also, why do you say the deceased committed suicide?"

Hearing this, the woman sobbed with tears streaming down her face: "My name is Shimoda Chika. I work at the same company as Takai, and I'm also his girlfriend."

"As for why I think it's suicide, it's because he was the only one in the room."

"And when I left, I locked the door. I have the only key. At the time, he was drunk and sleeping in the bedroom; even if someone rang the doorbell, he wouldn't have been able to hear it!"

"Under these circumstances, if it's not suicide, what could it be?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji exchanged glances.

If the situation was really as she said, the possibility of the deceased committing suicide was indeed quite high.

"So it really wasn't talked to death by you..."

Hattori Heiji muttered with some regret.

Conan glared fiercely at Hattori Heiji. ===== CHAPTER 629 =====
