Chapter 170 Heiji! If you were still a detective!
In the darkening sky, the rolling inky clouds on the distant sea level merged with the shadow elongated by the lights that had been turned on at the pier.

"I heard the gunshots and rushed over immediately!"

Hattori Heiji's voice rang out in the night wind.

With quick steps, the detective who saw the car parked by Miyano Akemi at the door of the warehouse from a distance rushed to the door of the warehouse with a vigilant look in his eyes and a gun tightly in his hand.

Then, the moment Heiji saw the blurry shadow lying next to Conan, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"I've called for reinforcements. GSSRA support will be here soon!"

Coming soon...

Conan's heart was stabbed again by Heiji's words. It was like this again -

He was one step late, Heiji was one step late, and now it seems that the official organization called GSSRA is also one step late.

Taking advantage of the shadows in the warehouse, he put the pointer that Miss Yamei had given him, which seemed to still have the warm blood stain on it, into his pocket.

Standing in the shadow of the warehouse, Conan slowly raised his head and looked at Hattori Heiji who was standing under the dazzling white light of the searchlight at the dock.

Conan spoke word by word, almost forcing himself to squeeze out a sentence from his suddenly dry throat.

"Ms. Masami is dead, Heiji."

Heiji's steps suddenly stopped as he was about to run into the warehouse to rescue the figure lying on the ground.

Because of Conan's words, his eyes fell again on the small figure standing next to Miss Yamei's body.

Immediately afterwards, Heiji felt that the figure suddenly became taller as Conan slowly approached him.

"Miss Yamei asked me for something before she died. Do you know?"

Conan lowered his head, his voice without a tremor.

"She said that the organization that killed her was dangerous, and she hoped I wouldn't dwell on my anger—"

Conan paused, "She entrusted me with the task of finding out the truth."

The air was silent for a moment.

For some reason, the more calmly Conan recounted his experience, the more uneasy Hattori Heiji felt, as if an invisible pressure was surging towards him like a tsunami.

It's like facing an angry mother.

He swallowed unconsciously and tried not to be affected by Conan's emotions. Then he opened his mouth and tried to persuade Conan to calm down.

"Conan, no, Kudo, what you need now is——"

"Heiji."

Conan interrupted Heiji.

His tone was as calm as the sea at night, but dark, as if he was stating a fact calmly.

"Ms. Yami is dead."

Hattori Heiji was silent for a moment, and finally he just whispered: "Yeah, I know."

"You should know a lot about that organization, Heiji."

"The organization that killed Miss Yami, GSSRA, Global Strategic Security Response Alliance. If you are a member of this organization, you should know a lot of information."

With the help of the light from the distant dock, Heiji saw the determination in Conan's eyes.

The child walked to the door of the warehouse and stopped in front of the two worlds of light and darkness divided by the searchlight.

Conan didn't take another step forward, he just let himself stay at——

Stayed in the same shadow where Akemi Miyano, who seemed to be asleep, was lying.

"tell me."

Finally, Conan walked out of the shadow. He slowly walked to Heiji's side, and his voice fluctuated a little because of Heiji's silence.

"You know I won't act impulsively, and I won't tell anyone."

Then, facing Hattori Heiji's silence, Conan could no longer control his emotions.

"Hattori Heiji! If you still think you're a detective—!"

This is undoubtedly a harsh statement.

With a barely perceptible sigh, Hattori Heiji knew that no matter what he said now, it would be of no use.

I'm sorry, Mr. Yusaku, as a detective novelist, you should be able to understand a detective's choice.

——Compared to the original work, where Yusaku Kudo let Conan go, Yusaku actually doesn't want his son to be involved. Therefore, in this mission, Hattori Heiji actually heard that Yusaku wanted him to persuade Conan to stay away from the center of this incident.

“We know very little at the moment…”

Since I'm also a detective...

Hattori Heiji finally spoke.

"All I know is that it's an organization that uses alcohol as its code name and everyone wears black."

"According to GSSRA's intelligence, the people participating in this mission should be called Gin, Vodka, and Chianti..."

Conan memorized the names that Heiji said one by one, and even engraved them in his heart.

"There's also a woman named ■■■■ who suddenly appears and commands this mission."

Hattori Heiji originally wanted to say this.

The words were even on the tip of my tongue, but——

Conan saw that Hattori Heiji's expression suddenly froze.

The originally clear memory in my mind suddenly became a little blurry.

His pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of confusion flashed in Hattori Heiji's eyes, followed by an indescribable bewilderment.

Mr. Yusaku told himself at the time that the spies planted by GSSRA in the winery did report a name when they left Tokyo to carry out their mission.

Who was that?

"Who's that guy with no wine name?"

Conan asked anxiously, feeling a sudden uneasiness in his heart.

Conan's questioning seemed to flip a switch, and the next second, Hattori Heiji's vague memories became clear again.

His question interrupted Hattori Heiji's distraction and made Heiji's eyes fall on the corpse lying on the ground behind Conan.

Hattori Heiji's eyes, which had been dazed for a moment, suddenly became clear again, and his gaze instantly became sharp again.

He now remembered who the member of the organization who did not use the name of the wine as a code name was. Hattori Heiji squatted down and held Conan's shoulders.

"There's also a leader who directs all of this, someone they call 'that gentleman.'"

"That gentleman?"

"If you want to know, you can ask Yu-"

Hattori Heiji really couldn't say any more. Compared to the actual failures in the bank and the GSSRA command room, reality was now too harsh a turnaround.

If he continues to follow the guidance of the [real timeline], [Kudo Shinichi] will be able to contact his father directly.

Following the flickering flashlight light and the sound of a large number of people running, Inspector Megure arrived at the scene with a group of police officers.

"Where's the medical team? The injured might be here!"

Inspector Megure pulled Conan out of the warehouse, squatted down, and his next words immediately forced Conan to stop talking to Heiji.

"Conan, this place is too dangerous."

Inspector Megure picked up Conan without saying a word and then gave an order to a police officer beside him.

"Take this child to the hospital. His sister and that guy Kogoro are both worried about him."

Conan was stunned by Inspector Megure's words, and then he saw Hattori Heiji being whispered something to by an anxious soldier.

For Heiji, his attention was drawn to the soldier's words in the next second.

"Mr. Heiji, the GSSRA needs your information now. The GSSRA has blocked the entire sea area near the port."

This is undoubtedly important public business.

Heiji's expression immediately became serious. He nodded in agreement and then gave Kudo an affirmative look.

In the end, both the reality line and the story line took a step back under the threat of each other.

The story line relaxed a bit, and Kudo Yusaku sat back in his seat after receiving gentle advice from a higher-up over the phone.

The reality is the same. In the end, it let Conan go and chose to leave Hattori Heiji to join the search mission against the Black Organization.

As Conan arrived at the familiar hospital gate under the escort of a police car, the fluctuations in the dual timelines finally calmed down.

Now, the second case is probably really over.
