284. The right time and place

"Even my childhood friend, I can't agree to this request. I will give Xiao Abe poison and kill him. Since that's the case, I must be responsible."

In the corridor, Hattori Heiji said slowly.

Andre, who was recalling the details of the case with Officer Megu and others, widened his eyes and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, that's the accent. What I heard before is exactly the same as what he said just now."

As he said that, he looked at Kogoro Mouri, "Right, as I said, the dead man must have confessed to others the crime he committed, and then committed suicide because of condemnation of conscience, right?"

"No." Officer Megumi murmured: "Those words just now may..."

"If it is a Kansai accent, the 'self' mentioned at this time should mean 'you'." Shiliang Matsutsu took over the words.

Andrey wondered, "Why? The 'self' in the verb means 'me', how could it be 'you'?"

"For example, the 'we' in the sentence 'we' will be responsible for you' does not include the other party. But if it is 'let's discuss', it means 'we' including the other party." Shiliang Matsuru smiled and said, "The language is profound, that's it."

Kogoro Maori pondered: "In other words, if you replace 'self' with 'you', it will become 'you who gave Koabe poison to kill him. Since that's the case, you must be responsible.' In this way, the meaning will be completely different."

"Then, the dead man was not confessing to others the crime he committed?" Andrei said afterwards.

"I am blaming the other party for his crimes and in turn persuading him to surrender. This should be the case." Police Officer Megu said.

Hattori Heiji looked at Andre, "By the way, does this 'eat' of 'eat for Kobe' sound similar to 'pa'?"

Andrei thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, but because I thought, 'applying poison to people' sounds a bit strange. Maybe I heard it wrong, it should be 'eat'."

"Since that's the case, that little Abe probably doesn't refer to someone." Hattori Heiji chuckled, "Little Abe, it should be a candy ball."

"Candy Ball?" Andre was confused. Is the span from people to candy balls too big?

"The man who died in the bathroom also happened to be holding a toxic candy ball, right?" Hattori Heiji smiled.

"So that's it. I've heard the little sugar ball with similar pronunciation like Koabe." Kogoro Maori suddenly realized.

"The pronunciation of these two words is indeed similar," said Takagi.

"But why add a small word to the candy ball?" Andrey asked in confusion.

"That's why I say that language and culture are profound and profound." Hattori Heiji shrugged.

Conan: It is obvious that small sugar balls are only available in certain regions, right?

"If this is the case, the murderer who lets the man eat the poisonous candy should have been in the bathroom at that time?" Shiliang Matsuru asked.

Hattori Heiji nodded, "Yes, the reason why this FBI guy didn't hear the murderer's voice was probably because he wanted to persuade the murderer to surrender and made an appointment with the murderer to meet in this restaurant, but they were sitting at different tables, so the murderer called him, called him to the bathroom and then poisoned him.

As long as you can trick him into the bathroom on the phone, and then just stuff the toxic candy into his mouth, there is no need to speak at all. Then throw the phone into the toilet and sink it into the water, and the call record can be eliminated."

Shiliang Matsuku said: "But what surprised the murderer was that there happened to be an agent from FBI in the bathroom at that time, and he decided to keep all the guests in the restaurant."

She looked at the guests in the restaurant inside the cordon and said, "That is to say, the murderer should be in this restaurant now."

Officer Meguri immediately made the decision, "Okay, lock the suspect between the ages of thirty and forty, and conduct investigations one by one!"

--Since you are a childhood friend, you should be a person of this age.

Takagi Shi quickly agreed and went to make arrangements.

On the side, Hattori Heiji squatted and stroked the little head of a primary school student with his hand, "So, from the moment, my progress is one step ahead of this kid, right?"

"What's this guy?" Sera Matsuru was stunned, "Aren't you fighting against Shinichi Kudo?"

"Ah, I mean, I'm one step ahead of Kudo who is supporting this guy." Hattori Heiji became nervous because of his complacentness, and subconsciously rubbed Conan's head with his palms. "Every time this little guy listened to Kudo's reasoning on the phone, he said it was as scattered as his own, which made me have the illusion of treating him as Kudo."

Conan's mouth twitched, his head was a little hot now, and he couldn't help but wonder if he would be moving towards the development of Dr. Agasa's hairstyle because of this little brat.

Hattori Heiji became serious, "But I'm sorry, I'll win this case. Since I'm a childhood friend of the deceased, the murderer is probably from Kansai. However, the Tokyo native Kudo Shinichi was not very clear about the customs and culture. As a Kansai native, I figured it out at once."

Conan curled his lips unyieldingly, and it is not certain who will win in the end.

Soon, the police investigation made progress.

"The suspect's scope has been narrowed to three."

Takagi said: "Although there are seven male customers of age, four of them have companions. And when Cameron ran out of the bathroom and shouted that someone was dead, the four guests were either ordering food with the waiter or asking the waiter to help them clean up the dining table dirty by the children, so they happened to have talked to the waiter.

There is no absent certificate. It seems that the only one who comes to the restaurant alone, sitting in the smoking area for dinner is just the three people."

Over there, three people with different expressions looked here silently.

Hattori Heiji took a look and volunteered: "Since that's the case, please hand over their interrogation to me, right?"

Officer Meguchi glanced at him, "Why do you say something stupid? Why do you have to leave it to you, a high school student?"

Hattori Heiji laughed and said, "Because the murderer may be from the Kansai area, isn't it? If I, a Kansai person, conducts the interrogation, he might be exposed."

Officer Megu touched his chin and moved a little.

Conan rolled his eyes and said, "If you shouldn't say anything, this kid really has the right time and place this time."

"Chen Xing, do you think he can find the murderer?" He looked at the people around him.

"What do you think?" Chen Xing asked back.

Conan was stunned, then smiled and said, "If he could do it, then save us."

"But I think you don't admit defeat," said Chen Xing.
