Chapter 2: Kudo Shinichi and I Look Exactly the Same
Kudo Shinichi and I look exactly the same.
"It was me, I was the one sitting next to her at the time," Heiyu Lin squeezed in from behind the crowd.
"Then can you tell us what happened at that time?" Inspector Megure asked, looking at the teenager in the black hat before him.
"Of course, her time of death was at..."
Before Heiyu Lin could finish answering, a voice suddenly interrupted him, "It was between 3 and 5 PM, right, Inspector Megure?"
"Eh? Brother Kudo and Miss Mouri Ran." Inspector Megure looked a bit surprised, "Why are you two here?"
"Officer Takagi called me; he said another case had occurred here," Kudo Shinichi said with a smile. "Ran and I have been here for a while. That lady's cause of death was potassium cyanide poisoning; Officer Takagi just showed us the test results."
"That guy Takagi, really," Inspector Megure thought to himself, wearing a dead-fish-eye expression.
"Inspector Megure, the test results are out. There was potassium cyanide on the tissue belonging to that boy in the hat. However, it was a very small amount, not enough to kill someone. Besides that, there was even more potassium cyanide in Miss Yamada Hui's pants pocket," Takagi Wataru said loudly as he jogged back.
"It must be that brat who killed Hui! He must have the thing that killed Hui on him!" Dazhi Yilang, who was standing to the side covered in sweat, immediately chimed in after hearing this.
"Right, it must be him. At that time, Hui just scolded him a little and he killed her," Tian Tai Liang said with great certainty. Only Kawasaki Nako stood to the side with her head down, seemingly not wanting to speak.
Inspector Megure looked at Takagi Wataru and nodded at him. Takagi Wataru paused slightly, nodded back at Inspector Megure, and walked toward Heiyu Lin, "Um, this gentleman, we would like to search you."
After seeing Inspector Megure, Heiyu Lin understood where he was, and seeing Kudo Shinichi confirmed it even more. He just hadn't expected that he would look exactly like Kudo Shinichi, with only a slight difference in hairstyle, and even more like Kuroba Kaito. When he used to watch Conan, he had complained that Kuroba Kaito and Kudo Shinichi looked like biological brothers. He hadn't expected to become one of them himself.
Hearing Takagi Wataru's words, Heiyu Lin subconsciously raised his hands. Takagi Wataru walked up and searched him thoroughly. Finding nothing, he shook his head at Inspector Megure. Kudo Shinichi lowered his head, his hand slightly pinching his chin as his eyebrows furrowed.
Kudo Shinichi suddenly thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
"Can we go now, Officer!" Tian Tai Liang looked at his watch and said with an anxious expression. "The three of us have already been here for two hours."
"That won't do, Mr. Tian Tai, the case hasn't been solved yet," Takagi Wataru said, feeling a bit embarrassed, as the time they had been kept was indeed quite long.
At this moment, Kawasaki Nako, who had been silent the whole time, stood up abruptly, "I have to go, I have things to do and I'm already very late."
One person left, and the others followed suit, one after another, indicating they wanted to leave. "Hey, wait a minute. The case hasn't been solved yet. We all have to stay here." Heiyu Lin crossed his arms over his chest, pulled his hat brim down slightly, and blocked the doorway.
"Damn it, don't you go too far, you guy," Dazhi Yilang said, raising his arm to push Heiyu Lin. Dazhi Yilang was a full head taller than Heiyu Lin.
"Mr. Dazhi, don't hit..." Takagi Wataru's footsteps, originally heading toward the exit, slowed down slightly. This... Takagi Wataru widened his eyes as if he had seen something unbelievable.
It was indeed so; Heiyu Lin, who was a head shorter than Dazhi Yilang, had grabbed Dazhi Yilang's arm in one motion.
Dazhi Yilang stared at him in disbelief, wanting to pull his raised hand back, but found he couldn't move it at all. "Let go of me," Dazhi Yilang said with a gloomy face.
"Thank you, young man in the hat. I already know who the murderer is," Kudo Shinichi walked slowly out from the shadows. "The murderer is you, Dazhi Yilang."
"Do you have any evidence?" Dazhi Yilang looked at him with a ferocious expression. "If you hadn't fought with that gentleman in the hat over there,
I might not have been quite sure. But now it's different."
Kudo Shinichi said loudly, "You smeared the poison on the armrest of the seat for the other ticket you bought in advance, then deliberately started an argument to drive her to that spot. Following your plan, after she touched the poison, she ate a piece of candy and sent the poison into her mouth. I'm right, aren't I, Mr. Dazhi?"
Dazhi Yilang's face gradually turned dark. "Why must it be that I did it?"
"What are you hiding in your cuff? Take it out and let us see," Heiyu Lin suddenly pulled a handkerchief out of Dazhi Yilang's cuff. No one knew when Heiyu Lin had put on a pair of disposable White Gloves.
"Ah, damn it!! Give it back to me!" Heiyu Lin watched the fist flying toward his face. "Ha!" He formed his hands into palms, took a fighting stance, blocked the incoming fist with his right arm, and turned his left hand into a fist, hammering it into his stomach.
"Ah!" Dazhi Yilang clutched his stomach with both hands and rolled continuously on the ground.
Kudo Shinichi:...
Inspector Megure:...
Takagi Wataru:...
"This gentleman, could you cooperate with us and go to the police station to give a statement?" Inspector Megure asked, looking at Heiyu Lin.
Heiyu Lin's gaze was drawn to a girl; she must be the unicorn, Mouri Ran! He couldn't avoid attracting attention even if he wanted to. "Shinichi, you guy, you promised to go to the aquarium with me!" Mouri Ran, somewhat angry, stood with her hands on her hips, scolding the completely unreliable Kudo Shinichi in front of her. "Isn't this because of the case? And didn't I say we'd go at night? It's not late yet," Kudo Shinichi stood next to Mouri Ran, grinning without a hint of guilt.
Heiyu Lin approached Kudo Shinichi and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Um, I think you look a bit familiar."
Kudo Shinichi turned his head, his expression pleasantly surprised, "So it's you! Ran, this is the person I told you about who has super strong fighting and Deduction skills."
Under the shocked gazes of Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran, Heiyu Lin took off the black hat on his head. "My name is Heiyu Lin. I just arrived from China today."
"Aren't you two biological brothers?" Mouri Ran asked, looking shocked.
"Hey, hey, my father never told me I had a brother."
"Actually, I was also very shocked when I first saw you," Heiyu Lin said with a smile to Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran. He thought to himself, *Isn't that right? It seems Kudo Shinichi hasn't become the 'Grim Reaper' elementary schooler yet. *
"By the way, are you two a couple?" *Let me speed up the progress a bit, * Heiyu Lin thought viciously to himself.
Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran both blushed simultaneously and shouted at the same time, "Who's a couple with him/her!"
"Ah~, so you're not!" Heiyu Lin said with a grin.
"Hey, you guy!" Kudo Shinichi wanted to say something else but didn't know what to say. Mouri Ran was already too embarrassed to speak.
"Alright, you two go on your date!" *I still need to find a place to stay, * Heiyu Lin thought as he ran off with a grin.
