10. The Secret Room

The next day, in the coffee shop.

"There's an incident, Kudo, earth!"

The wind chime on the door had not stopped yet, and a sound with obvious and cheerful accent appeared.

Sitting together while drinking coffee, several people talking about the secret room case yesterday, hearing the sound, a black-skinned boy wearing a baseball cap smiled and waved to everyone, and a pretty girl flashed behind her, with a smile that made people feel like spring breeze.

It is Hattori Heiji, Kazuya.

"You?" Conan was very surprised because they did not inform him in advance this time.

"You just said Kudo?" Ran Mori was still as sensitive as ever, "I must have said that, and even called Shin-ho's name."

Next to him, Chen Xing took a sip of coffee slowly, but Conan's face suddenly changed and he immediately looked at Amuro Tomo at the other side of the bar.

Fortunately, the latter seemed to have not noticed this place and was still humming a small song and grinding coffee beans.

"Ah..." Hattori Heiji said hurriedly: "I mean 'I have something to do and I am so excited', right? Is that right? "

He secretly winked at Chen Xing.

"Hatsuke's accent is quite heavy, you heard it wrong." Chen Xing helped him.

Ran Maori was still a little suspicious, and then he saw Ye glaring at Hattori Heiji with anger, "There have been murders, you are still so abrupt."

"Murder incident?" Conan's expression condensed.

Kogoro Mori put down his coffee cup and said bluntly: "When it comes to murder, is it that an incident happened in Osaka? Have you come to ask me for help?"

Some days I haven't seen him, but this uncle is still so confident. Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes in his heart and wanted to tell him that he was thinking too much.

However, he still resisted the urge to complain and talked about the serious matter, "The crime scene is in Tokyo, and there are witnesses..."

As he was talking, a big guy with a scar at the corner of his eye walked into the door.

"Officer Otaki, police officer of Osaka Prefecture?" Kogoro Mori stood up politely.

"Hello, it's been a long time since you've seen me." Police Officer Otaki scratched his head and smiled silly.

When Chen Xing saw him, he suddenly remembered the girl with long silver hair.

"Name it as "a murder in the secret room that is completely inaccessible to hands and feet", right?" Hattori Heiji smiled.

"What's that incident?" Conan was a little defeated by his name.

Next, Chenyu invited Hattori Heiji and others to take the seat. In fact, Hattori Heiji had already sat down with a familiar seat without his invitation.

"Simply put, it is a man who was monitored by the police. He was killed at some point."

Because he was in a coffee shop, Officer Otaki lowered his voice, "Last month in the apartment in Kurotocho, a man in his seventies died at home. The man who died was called Kanyue Xiuri. Before retirement, he worked in high school as a teacher. Among the students he taught, there was a man named Hitoki Kiriya."

When he heard this, Kogoro Mouri subconsciously said, "Hito Tung, too? I seem to have heard of this name."

"That was a serial murderer who killed two people in Osaka and one person in Kobe." Police Officer Otaki said: "After learning that the prisoner appeared in Tokyo, we decided to cooperate with the Metropolitan Police Department to sprinkle a net of heaven and earth in Mr. Guanyue's apartment. If the fertile dou, who has no relatives, wants to entrust others to escape, we think that the only person who is willing to help him is Mr. Guanyue."

His tone was deep, "When we started to surveillance nearby on the third morning, we found that he was at the time when he should have gone out for a walk, but he did not walk out at all.

We immediately went to investigate if we felt something was wrong. Once we arrived in the room, we found that Mr. Guanyue, who was hanging on the air conditioner in the living room, had already died of hanging."

Kogoro Maori puzzledly: "It sounds like he committed suicide? You are also ambushing and surveillance near the window or the entrance, right?"

"Yes, we will treat it as a suicide at the beginning, but the toes of the corpse were very strangely high." Police Officer Otaki recalled: "The toes probably fell a little further down my butt, and then fell on the chair at the foot of the corpse, which really surprised us."

Next to him, He Ye couldn't help saying, "That chair is exactly the same as that in my kitchen."

"Eh?" Ran Mori looked over.

"That chair is a high-end product with a limited number, and the size is exactly the same. After Officer Otaki took the chair side by side, he found that there was still more than ten centimeters of space between the toes of the body and the chair surface of the chair." He Ye said.

"There is still ten centimeters of space left?" Kogoro Mori frowned and said, "Even if he stands upright and tiptoe, he can't reach it at all."

"That's right." Hattori Heiji said: "In other words, in order to make Mr. Guanzuki look like he committed suicide, the prisoner was specially placed at his feet to mislead props."

Conan suddenly realized that because of this, he said it was a "a murder in a secret room that was completely inaccessible to his hands and feet."

Hattori Heiji said: "For this reason, and the door of Mr. Guanyue's room was not locked at that time, so it was confirmed that he killed it."

"Is the prisoner the murderer named Hitokiya?" asked Ran Maori.

Officer Otaki shook his head, "No, Hiroto Tsuki later appeared in Hiroshima and was arrested by the police. And he spent the whole month staying in Internet cafes and coffee shops."

"But aren't the police all ambushing outside?" Kogoro Mouri held his chin and thought, "Even if the door of the room is open, how should the prisoners enter and exit?"

"It is because of these suspicious points that it is said that it is a murder in the secret room!" Hattori Heiji leaned forward, "We have obtained permission from the victim's family and are now preparing to go to that apartment to investigate."

He tilted his head to look at a primary school student with a bright look, "I think you should want to go and have a look, right?"

"Yeah." Conan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Kogoro Maori said "shouting", but as a famous detective, and Officer Otaki came in person, he planned to take action once.

"Tibetan will be together, right?" Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows, "I'm looking forward to you solving the case first, like the last time."

Chen Xing first looked at the direction of the bar, but only saw Anmutsu leaving with a tray.

He couldn't help but wonder, the other party seemed to be much less curious about the case today.

"Hey, are you talking to you." Hattori Heiji said speechlessly. Is this guy distracted?

Because the case was said to be bizarre, Chen Xing went with you happily.

After the group left, Tomoto Amuro turned back to the bar as if nothing had happened.

"Amuro, where have you been?" Azusa Hiromoto asked.

"Go to the bathroom." Amuro Toru said casually: "Where have they been?"

"I don't know, it seems that I'm going to investigate some case together." Azusa Komoto said curiously: "Don't you like reasoning too? Why didn't you go together this time?"

"What I like is not reasoning." Amuro laughed.
