Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 112 Why Does Heiji Hattori Seem Not So Smart?

"I see, as expected of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri!" Shiro Suzuki said with a look of respect.

"Hahahaha..." Kogoro Mouri stuck out his tongue and let out a carefree laugh.

Conan watched as Keisuke headed towards Ai after the discussion ended, and sighed helplessly.

Heiji Hattori, seeing that Conan was clearly doubting Kogoro Mouri's reasoning, asked with some confusion, "What's wrong, Conan... do you have any other ideas?"

Upon hearing Heiji Hattori's words, Conan stopped thinking and said with a displeased expression, "You bastard, hurry up and change what you said!"

"Oh? So fierce. Aren't you going to consider changing your attitude?" Hattori Heiji raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Be careful or I'll tell everyone your secret."

Upon hearing Heiji Hattori's words, Conan's earlier displeasure vanished, and he forced a smile, saying, "Please try to change your tune!"

"Mhm!" Seeing Conan's smile, Heiji Hattori nodded in satisfaction, chuckled, and said, "Remember to smile when you ask someone for help!"

Looking at Hattori Heiji in front of him, Conan rolled his eyes and had no choice but to bow down to the evil forces in front of him.

Conan shook his head and said to Heiji Hattori, who was still excited, "Alright, enough joking around. I still feel like there's something wrong with it. And Kaito Kid even used a title he's never used before, 'The Magician of the End of the Century'!"

"Honestly, that guy Huijie hasn't said a word since he came here. He hasn't said anything at all."

Heiji Hattori frowned and asked, puzzled, "You really trust that Keisuke that much? It seems like you believe him more than your own reasoning!"

Upon hearing this, Conan stiffened, took a deep breath, and then his eyes sharpened. He nodded and said, "You're right. As a detective, how can I rely on others?"

Looking at the triumphant Conan, Heiji Hattori frowned, because Conan's words seemed to imply that he still believed that Keisuke already knew the answer.

So Hattori Heiji smiled. Since Kudo had already admitted defeat, if he could prove that he was stronger than Keisuke, wouldn't that indirectly prove that he was the strongest high school detective?

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji approached Teruyuki, raised his head, and pointed at Teruyuki with a seemingly arrogant expression, saying, "Let's have a contest! Let's see who can discover the real information in the notice first, shall we?"

"If you lose, you have to tell Conan three times that I, Heiji Hattori, am the strongest high school detective; if I lose, you can name a condition that I can fulfill, how about that?"

"I believe you don't want to admit defeat in front of that little girl either!"

Upon hearing Hattori Heiji's words, a question mark appeared above Keisuke's head. He had a feeling that Hattori Heiji wasn't very bright.

Convincing Heiji that he's the strongest high school detective in front of Conan wouldn't have any effect on Keisuke at all!

Thinking of this, Hui Jie nodded decisively and said, "Okay, I agree, but to prevent you from copying my homework, you can't stay next to me!"

Upon receiving Teruyuki's reply, Hattori Heiji smiled. "As expected of the reverse psychology tactic, it never fails!"
Heiji Hattori immediately shared the good news with Conan.

Watching Heiji Hattori's retreating figure, Ai glanced helplessly at Keisuke and asked, puzzled, "Did Heiji really find out on his own? He doesn't seem very bright at all!" "After all, he was facing Conan before!" Keisuke said with a smile.

Ai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled with relief: "That's true, after all, Edogawa is always thinking about cases, he's too impulsive."

Hui Jie nodded in satisfaction and continued, "So, Ai, you should be secretly happy to have met someone like me who prioritizes his girlfriend!"

Seeing that Keisuke immediately steered the conversation towards her, Ai rolled her eyes and helplessly praised Keisuke, "Yes, yes, my Keisuke is the best, no one else can compare!"

Sonoko, who was passing by, glared at Teruyuki with an unfriendly expression. She then picked up Ai and pointed at Teruyuki, saying, "You bastard, you didn't say a word after you left, and now you dare to come back."

"How dare you! You are hereby punished to immediately provide me with an explanation of Lord Kidd's advance notice!"

Looking at Sonoko, who was using her to control Teru, Ai couldn't help but feel speechless. The elementary school student was obsessed with love, the high school detective was an idiot, and the conglomerate heir was like a child. Where exactly did things go wrong?
Huijie was also speechless. He was really fed up with Sonoko, who was so idle all day long. Instead of wasting his time with Ai, he should have gone and chatted with Makoto Kyogoku for a while.

"Alright, then catch that pigeon for me first, and then I'll talk to you, okay!"

As he spoke, Hui Jie pointed to a pigeon with a listening device tied to its leg that he had seen as soon as he entered the room.

"A pigeon? Where?" Sonoko peeked out and, sure enough, found a pigeon. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she said, "Could it be...?"

Hearing what Teruyuki said, Ai also looked out the window and calmly analyzed in her mind: white pigeons, listening devices, could it be that the pigeons trained by Kaito Kid are used as a means of eavesdropping?

“That’s right,” Teruyuki nodded, looking at Sonoko with encouraging eyes, and said, “That is… the opportunity for you to speak with Kid in person!”

"These are pigeons that someone else has trained, so it's not convenient to give them to you!" Sonoko said at the same time.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked surprised. Huijie was the first to speak, "Are you Sonoko? Where's your love-struck brain? You're not actually Kaito Kid in disguise, are you!"

Sonoko retorted without hesitation, "You know these are Kid's pigeons, so why are you saying such ambiguous things? I thought you wanted to get a pet!"

When Kidd, who had been listening in, heard that the pigeon had been discovered, he immediately let it fly away and waited until the others left before observing the situation.

"Ah! Lord Kid!" Sonoko cried out in despair as she watched the pigeons fly away.

Upon hearing Sonoko's words, Ran and Kazuha rushed over. Seeing the distraught Sonoko, they asked with some concern, "Sonoko, what's wrong?"

"It's gone, the pigeon I was about to catch has flown away!" Watching the pigeon fly away, Xiaolan comforted her helplessly, "Alright, Yuanzi, it's fine if it's gone. It's still far from 3 a.m. We agreed to go shopping, so why don't we go now!"

Then, looking at Keisuke and Ai, he said, "Alright, Hattori and the others have already gone downstairs. Let's hurry down too, since Dad and Inspector Nakamori seem to have a meeting here!"
