Chapter 353 My pocket money saved up for several years was all swindled away.

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

As Hattori Heiji was speaking, his eyes were fixed on the busy police officers in Takai's bedroom. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he rushed to the bedroom window, staring at the layout of the bedroom.

Conan was stunned when he saw Heiji Hattori's expression. He then rushed to the window and stared intently at the bedroom.

Remembering how Hattori Heiji had complained about the poor cell phone signal, a brilliant idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"The bed has been moved, the windowsill structure is exactly the same, the cell phone signal is too poor..."

"Hattori, you must be thinking the same thing I'm thinking right now, right?"

“That’s right!” Hattori Heiji nodded, turned the brim of his hat back, and said with a smile.

"That's a truly ingenious murder method! If it weren't for Kazuha's phone call, I would never have guessed it! But now, the only possible culprit is that person!"

"Now, let's tell the officers our reasoning!"

"no problem!"

As Hattori Heiji finished speaking, Kazuha's voice came through the phone again.

Hattori Heiji frowned, picked up his phone and said, "Okay, Kazuha! I have something very important to do right now, so please don't bother me. I'll call you back when I'm done!"

After finishing his sentence, Hattori Heiji hung up the phone immediately.

On the other end of the phone, Kazuha looked at the phone that had been hung up, his lips twitched twice, and flames seemed to ignite around him.

"Annoying?! This idiot actually thinks I'm annoying?! Damn it! When did this guy go to Tokyo???"

When Kazuha Toyama thought of Tokyo, a handsome face instantly appeared in his mind.

It seems that Akaso-san is also in Tokyo!

Should we go and look for him?

The Onmyoji is much gentler.

Inside Takai's apartment.

Conan and Heiji Hattori walked out onto the balcony together.

Heiji Hattori looked at Conan and said, "Speaking of which, Conan, I should consider myself the winner of today's contest, right? After all, I was the one who was inspired by the phone call and discovered the method used by the culprit."

"Don't give me that!" Conan immediately retorted.

"We discovered it at the same time, and we're still missing the most crucial physical evidence!"

As Conan and Heiji Hattori were talking, a strange-sounding female voice came from the side: "Oh! Conan, Heiji, have you discovered anything?"

Conan and Heiji Hattori both chuckled and exchanged a glance.

Then Conan immediately clutched his stomach and said, "Hattori-nii-san, I need to go to the bathroom. Will you come with me?"

"Uh, okay."

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

Conan said in a low voice, "Hattori, I have an idea that I'd like you to cooperate with."

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

“Yes!” Conan nodded. “What do you think? How about we decorate Mr. Takai’s bedroom and have Ms. Jodie play the victim, and see her reaction?”

"Hmm, that's a good idea!"

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

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

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

"Haha, Inspector Megure, don't be in such a hurry. To find out who the murderer is, we need to set up the bedroom where Mr. Takai fell down and recreate the murderer's methods."

"Also, we need someone to cooperate with us. Police officers can't drink alcohol while on duty, so how about Ms. Judy?"

Heiji Hattori turned to look at Jodie.

“Me?” Judy pointed to her nose, thought for a moment, and nodded, saying, “Of course, no problem! I’d be happy to help!”

"Mr. Takai seemed to be drunk when he fell, right? Ms. Judy would also have to be drunk to make it a realistic portrayal."

Hattori Heiji glanced at the Takai family's liquor cabinet with ill intent. "We happen to have some liquor here; let's borrow it."

Judy laughed and shook her head: "No, no, no. I don't drink ordinary wine, I only drink expensive imported red wine."

Hattori Heiji's lips twitched.

Judging from Inspector Megure's feigned ignorance, he probably has no chance of getting reimbursed by public funds.

Let's look at Conan again.

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

Hattori Heiji had no choice but to reluctantly take out his wallet.

"Officer Takagi, could you please go and buy a bottle of red wine for Ms. Judy, as she requested, and bring it to the village?"

Officer Takagi took the wallet and asked, "How much alcohol do you want to buy?"

Before Hattori Heiji could speak, Jodie spoke first: "It has to be at least 100,000 yen or more. The more expensive the sake, the more realistic I can recreate it."

"Okay, okay..."

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

I've been saving up my allowance for years!

Chapter 354 Does Shuichi Akai drug someone?

Chi Chufeng glanced at his watch; it was almost nine o'clock, and the case over there was still not solved.

He thought for a moment, and since he had nothing else to do, he decided to go to the coffee shop across from Jodie's house for a coffee and see what Conan and the others were up to.

Chi Chufeng opened the portal and appeared in a secluded corner.

He strolled leisurely into the coffee shop.

There was only one waiter in the store. When he saw a customer, he quickly walked over.

Chi Chufeng sat down by the window and ordered a coffee.

The waiter returned to the kitchen and reported to a man wearing a black woolen hat: "Mr. Akai, that Onmyoji has arrived."

"An Onmyoji?" A glint flashed in Shuichi Akai's eyes.

[Ding! Passive detection magic activated. Shuichi Akai is preparing to harm you. Please be on guard.]

Huh? Shuichi Akai?

Chi Chufeng scanned the area with his spatial eye and quickly spotted the man hiding in the kitchen.

He frowned slightly.

Didn't Judy say he went back to the US with James?

How did it end up hidden in Cafe 593 across from Judy's house?

Under the gaze of the Eye of Space, Shuichi Akai, with a gloomy face, took out a vial of medicine from his pocket and dripped a few drops into his coffee cup.

"Go and take it to him. Be natural and don't let him notice."

The waiter nodded and brought the coffee to Chi Chufeng's table.

Chi Chufeng stared at the coffee in front of him, his mind racing.

What is this guy trying to do?

According to the predicted magic, what was put in the coffee didn't seem to be poison.

But it's clearly not a good thing.

Chi Chufeng thought about it and decided he should try to find someone to help.

He picked up the phone and made the call.

Judy answered the call quickly.

"Hey, Akatsuki-san? Oh, you're already at the coffee shop across the street. But my case isn't finished yet."

"It seems that Hattori and Conan also know who the murderer is. They even said they would decorate the room so that I could play the victim and recreate the murderer's methods."

"What? You've already cracked it?"

"Okay, I'll call Inspector Megure right away."

Inspector Megure took the phone, exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god, Lord Akashi, you knew who the culprit was without even being at the scene?"

Normally, Akazuka wouldn't mind giving Conan and Hattori Heiji more time, but now, with Akai Shuichi's matter at hand, he decided to finish quickly.

“That’s right, I have solved the case. The murderer who killed Mr. Takai is Noboru Kawakami.”

"What? The murderer is Mr. Kawakami?"

Inspector Megure immediately glanced at his subordinates beside him and gave them a meaningful look.
