Chapter 631: All the pocket money saved for several years was scammed away

"Oh, it's Kazuha. I'm in Tokyo right now..."

As Hattori Heiji was talking, he looked at the police officers busy in Takai's bedroom, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He "dashed" to the bedroom window and stared at the layout inside.

Conan saw Hattori Heiji's appearance, was stunned for a moment, and then rushed to the window as well, staring straight into the bedroom.

Thinking of Hattori Heiji's earlier complaint about the poor phone signal, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

"The bed was moved, the identical window structure, the poor phone signal..."

"Hattori, what you're thinking right now must be the same as me, right?"

"Exactly!" Hattori Heiji nodded, turned the brim of his hat to the back, and smiled.

"This is truly a clever murder method! If it weren't for Kazuha's call, I really wouldn't have thought of it! But this way, the killer can only be that person!"

"Now, let's tell the police our deduction!"

"No problem!"

After Hattori Heiji finished speaking, Kazuha's voice came from the phone again.

Hattori Heiji frowned, picked up the phone, and said: "Alright, Kazuha! I have something very important to do right now, can you stop bothering me? I'll call you back when I'm done!"

Hattori Heiji finished speaking and hung up the phone directly.

On the other side of the phone, Kazuha looked at the hung-up phone, her mouth twitching twice, and flames seemed to burn around her.

"Bother?! This idiot actually thinks I'm a bother? Damn it! When did this guy run off to Tokyo?"

Thinking of Tokyo, Toyama Kazuha's mind instantly conjured up a handsome face.

Akaso-san seems to be in Tokyo too!

Should I go find him?

Lord Onmyoji is much gentler.

Inside Takai's apartment.

Conan and Hattori Heiji walked out of the balcony together.

Hattori Heiji looked at Conan and said: "Come to think of it, Conan, this contest today should count as my win, right? After all, I was the first to be inspired by the phone call and discover the method the killer used."

"Don't start!" Conan retorted immediately.

"The two of us can only be considered to have discovered it at the same time, and we are still missing the most important physical evidence!"

As Conan and Hattori Heiji were talking, a woman's voice with a strange accent came from the side: "Oh! Conan, Hattori, did you find anything?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji both let out a "ha" and exchanged glances.

Then Conan immediately clutched his stomach and said: "Hattori-niisan, I want to go to the bathroom; will you come with me?"

"Uh, alright."

Hattori Heiji nodded, gave Jodie an apologetic smile, and then walked into the bathroom with Conan.

Conan whispered: "Hattori, I have an idea now, and I want you to cooperate."

"Hmm, you want to test that woman's depth, right?" Hattori Heiji guessed Conan's meaning.

"Yeah!" Conan nodded. "What if we set up Mr. Takai's bedroom and have Jodie-sensei play the victim to see her reaction?"

"Hmm, that's not a bad idea!"

The two discussed it briefly, then walked out of the bathroom and walked quickly to Inspector Megure.

Hattori Heiji said: "Inspector Megure, we already know who the killer is!"

"Eh? Really?" Inspector Megure's eyes lit up. "Hattori-kun, who is the killer?"

"Haha, Inspector Megure, don't be in a hurry. To know who the killer is, we first need to set up the bedroom where Mr. Takai fell to recreate the method the killer used."

"Also, we need someone to cooperate with us. Police work doesn't allow drinking, so how about Jodie-sensei?"

Hattori Heiji turned to look at Jodie.

"Me?" Jodie pointed to her nose, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Of course, no problem! I'd be happy to help!"

"Mr. Takai seemed to be drunk when he fell, right? Jodie-sensei also needs to be drunk to recreate it realistically."

Hattori Heiji glanced maliciously at Takai's wine cabinet. "There's wine right here; let's borrow some."

Jodie shook her head with a smile: "No, no, no. I don't drink ordinary wine; I want expensive imported red wine."

Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched.

Looking at Inspector Megure, who was pretending not to hear, he figured there was no chance of getting reimbursed with public funds.

He looked at Conan again.

Conan blinked his big eyes, wearing an innocent expression that said, "I'm a kid, I don't drink."

Hattori Heiji could only take out his wallet in pain.

"Officer Takagi, please go buy a bottle of red wine according to Jodie-sensei's request."

Officer Takagi took the wallet and asked: "How expensive should the wine be?"

Before Hattori Heiji could speak, Jodie spoke first: "At least over 100,000 yen. The more expensive the wine, the more realistically I can recreate it."

"O-okay..."

Watching Officer Takagi's back, Hattori Heiji's heart was bleeding.
