The world of science is unscientific

"This...isn't this Aya Ueto!? You're on top of that too."

Hearing this, Ran Mouri leaned over to take a look. "Yes, this is her first time playing the lead role, so this was taken when she came here with her manager to greet Shinichi's parents."

Now Sonoko Suzuki remembered it too. "Speaking of which, it seems like you did mention it before. It was... about four years ago, wasn't it?"

"Um......"

Ran Mouri fell silent for a moment. "I remember Shinichi talking to Aya alone. He seemed quite serious. When I asked him about it later, he wouldn't tell me."

Hattori Heiji suddenly interjected, "Maybe he was talking to this Miss Aya about something like a date."

You want me to do your hard labor for free? Heh heh, Kudo, you better be prepared!

At that moment, the intercom installed in the study suddenly rang.

Will anyone else come?

Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment before answering the call, and a young girl's voice immediately came through.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Shinichi Kudo here?"

“Shinichi isn’t home right now,” Ran Mouri replied directly. “May I ask who you are?”

Just as Sonoko Suzuki and Kuroko were having a wild daydream, the person outside spoke up.

"Ueto, this is Ueto Aya."

Ok?

The three of them were completely dumbfounded.

We were just talking about you, and now you're already here?

What a coincidence!

Ran Mouri really liked Aya Ueto, but she felt it was a bit unrealistic, so she secretly opened the door to take a look. When she found that it was indeed Aya, she quickly led her into the house.

"I remember you, Shinichi Kudo's childhood friend."

Aya Ueto took off her sunglasses and said directly.

From her perspective, the two should be together now, and they might even be engaged.

Ran Mouri was surprised that the other person remembered her, but she still introduced the people around her first.

After the pleasantries were over, Aya Ueto continued, "When will Shinichi be back?"

That's a very pertinent question.

You're asking me?

After a moment's thought, Ran Mouri told the truth, "He just left the day before yesterday to investigate the incident. It will probably be a long time before he comes back."

At this moment, Hattori Heiji patted his chest and said smugly, "Ms. Ueto, if you have any requests to give to that guy, you can give them to me. I'm a high school detective who's even better than him."

Um... people who say things like that are generally not very reliable.

After a slight hesitation, Aya Ueto gave Blackie an apologetic smile, then turned to Ran Mouri and asked, "Then you should have a way to contact Shinichi, right?"

"Hmm... I'll give him a call and see."

Ran Mouri nodded, took out her phone, and started dialing.

The call was connected very quickly.

"Xiaolan, what's wrong?"

"Ah, Shinichi, do you remember Aya Ueto? She wants to talk to you. Are you available to take this call now?"

"Hmm, let her tell me."

Ran Mouri then handed the phone over.

Aya Ueto didn't shy away from the situation. After a brief greeting to Shinichi Kudo, she began to recount the problems she had encountered.

Near her apartment lived an elderly woman named Fumie Koda, who was nearly eighty years old and lived alone.

She had a good relationship with the old lady and often visited her home during her holidays.

As a result, when she went there around noon today, she didn't see the old lady, and after waiting for a while, she still didn't see her return.

So Aya Ueto went out to look for her, and when she heard from others that the old lady had come to Beika Town, she followed her there.

But since I had no idea where to look, I came here anyway.

After saying that, Conan on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment, "Tell me anything else you know about the old lady."

Aya Ueto thought for a moment, "She seemed to have had a daughter when she was young, but she passed away from illness, and she always felt guilty about it."

"By the way, the person who told me this also said that I look a bit like the old lady's daughter."

"Also, I heard from that person that her daughter really enjoys listening to Mozart's music."

In the hotel.

Conan frowned. This amount of information was far from enough, and whether it would even be useful was another matter.

Before he could even speak, Blackie was the first to try and prove himself.

Heiji Hattori didn't seem to be overstepping his bounds; he simply analyzed the situation from his own perspective, giving the impression of addressing the issue objectively.

He rubbed his chin and said, "Miss Ueto, when you entered the old lady's room today, the TV light was on, right? So she must have been watching TV before she left."

“Yes,” Aya Ueto nodded, “the newspaper on the coffee table is also turned to the TV schedule.”

Hei Pi asked about a few more details and made a deduction, "Then she must have suddenly thought of something while watching TV before going out, since she even checked the TV schedule... Ms. Ueto, do you remember which channel she was watching?"

"Nikko TV".

"Then wait for me a moment."

Heiji Hattori took out his phone and started operating it. "The program should be 'The Timebook of Elementary School Girl Detectives.' Is there a scene in it where Ms. Ueto is attacked?"

"Yes, I have."

Sonoko Suzuki nodded immediately, "And the drama was also filmed in Beika, such as Beika Station, Beika Park, and the Junichi Setagaku Memorial Hall... there should be more."

Ran Mouri quickly added, "And there's a scene where Aya is knocked unconscious and locked in the basement of that memorial."

So the truth is...

Sonoko Suzuki looked up with a cool air, "I know the truth. My reasoning as a high school detective, Sonoko Suzuki, is absolutely correct."

However, Blackie was good at pouring cold water on things; he spoke up before she could even state her reasoning.

"Please, if it were really as you think, would the old lady in a moment of panic really turn off the TV first?"

In short, Sonoko Suzuki's reasoning came to an abrupt end.

Chapter 797 Remote Collaboration of the Gemini

"Um...ah...this..."

Sonoko Suzuki hummed and hawed for a while, then glared at Heiji Hattori and said, "You're so long-winded. You don't need to worry about such small details."

"Do not."

Blackie shook his index finger with a nonchalant air, “For a detective, the most important thing to pay attention to is these little details.”

"Yes."

Conan echoed on the phone, then added, "However, Sonoko's reasoning is still correct. The old woman must have left because she saw a scene from a TV drama."

"The most likely location right now is the Shekara Memorial Hall. You can go and take a look first."

Before he could finish speaking, Heiji Hattori snatched the phone from Ran Mouri's hand, his expression growing increasingly distressed. "We don't need you there pointing fingers and telling us what to do."

Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Kudo, next time you go to Osaka, you have to help me clean my house too."

"Oh? Okay, no problem. Alright, finding the person is the priority, so stop dawdling."

Am I dawdling?

In other words, am I rambling on and on?

Hei Pi inexplicably felt that he had been violated.

At the same time, he began to think about Toyama Kazuha.

Damn it... if Kazuha knew that Shinichi Kudo had outdone me in reasoning and that I even had thoughts of 'missing her'...

"Hey, are you coming or not?"

At this moment, Sonoko Suzuki said somewhat impatiently.

The three girls had already reached the door.

"Sorry, I'll be right there."

Hattori Heiji's thoughts were interrupted, and his little scheme vanished without a trace.

Ultimately, he only felt uncomfortable because he was inexplicably forced into manual labor and his detective abilities were questioned by Aya Ueto, who was related to Shinichi Kudo.

Kudo is right, the most urgent thing is to find the old woman first.

The group set off immediately.

The distance wasn't far to begin with, and Aya Ueto even drove.

The group soon arrived at the Shera Memorial Hall.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that the old woman had indeed been there, and had left just five minutes earlier.

Sonoko Suzuki raised her hand and gave a queenly smile, "My reasoning was indeed correct!"

As she spoke, she glanced at the dark-skinned man and said, "I see a brat's shadow in someone, both of them are annoying, stereotypical detectives, arrogant and stubborn!"

It must be said that she has a good understanding of inner qualities.

Blackie and Conan on the other end of the phone were both stunned, their faces full of black lines.

The two of them thought of it at the same time.

This is Yusuke's sister.

Don't be impulsive.
