Chapter 129 Who Are the People in Tokyo?
Hattori Heiji is full of anticipation for the next competition.
However, when he came to the door of Jiang Xia's office, what he saw was a "Closed Business" sign and a person locking the door.
……
Toru Amuro sensed someone approaching.He turned his head, looked at Hattori Heiji, and stopped his movements.
Hattori Heiji also looked at Toru Amuro, and soon he realized that this foreigner must not be Jiang Xia.But since they are in the same office, he should know Jiang Xia.
Hattori Heiji stepped forward: "Is Jiang Xia Tongzhi working part-time here? When is he usually there?"
Amuro sized him up and pointed to the registration book that Jiang Xia hung up next to the gate: "There is no fixed working time. If you want to make an appointment, you can fill in the form first, and he will pick it up when he is free."
"I see..." Hattori Heiji touched his chin with interest, "What about Kudo Shinichi?"
Toru Amuro: "...?" Who?
"In fact, I've been wondering whether Jiang Xia or the 'missing' Kudo Shinichi was the one who resolved those incidents." Hattori Heiji said directly:
"I've checked your firm. Although you have placed a lot of advertisements at the beginning of your establishment, it has been ineffective. Until a while ago, Kudo Shinichi disappeared, and this place became famous right after... You don't think it's too coincidental Yet."
……
Hattori Heiji said while carefully looking at Toru Amuro, trying to see the flaws in the employees of this detective agency.
But I saw that the other party had a confused expression of "what are you talking about?" from the beginning to the end.
Hattori Heiji clicked his tongue inwardly.He really knows how to act, and can't see any flaws at all: "Then I'll just say it straight - is Kudo Shinichi hiding here with you, and secretly pointing Jiang Xia to solve the case?"
Amuro frowned.These words reminded him of the "Kudo Shinichi's ghost possession theory" that was popular a while ago.
This kind of arrogant speech that tramples science under its feet...
Amuro Toru's impression of Hattori Heiji immediately dropped by 50 percentage points.
"You mean to say that Jiang Xia solved the case by cheating?" Amuro turned around and looked at Hattori Heiji with a kind expression:
"Since you came here specifically for this matter, you should have collected information in advance - as long as you read the reports, you should know that Jiang Xia and Kudo Shinichi have completely different styles of solving crimes.
"You came up with that idea because you were misled by the media. It's a good thing for young people to be active, but they should always be a little bit assertive. It's not good to have soft ears. Having said that, I feel that you are a bit familiar-you are from Osaka That high school detective, Hattori Heiji?"
Hattori Heiji was startled, raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat: "You know me?"
"Well, I have a deep impression." Toru Amuro nodded, "We have made clippings of other detectives' cases for reference. Only you are in the dark every time, so we have to find your color photos... ...The case daily is only in black and white, which is really inconvenient."
Hattori: "...?"
Speak as you speak, why did you suddenly raise your complexion!and……
He said angrily in disbelief: "Are you worthy of mocking me? If you are published in the newspaper, you must be a mess!"
Amuro suddenly raised his hand.
Hattori Heiji was startled, and dodged away.
But soon, he realized that Toru Amuro was not going to attack him - the hand stopped in front of him.
Putting the two hands together, the originally inconspicuous color difference suddenly became clear.
Toru Amuro glanced over, "Look, I'm actually a little fairer than you."
Hattori Heiji:"……"
The corners of his eyes twitched, and he suddenly realized that the topic was off topic: "Wait, I'm asking you about Jiang Xia and Kudo Shinichi. What does this have to do with my skin color!"
"It's nothing to do with it, it's just a sudden unreasonable association—just like you associate Jiang Xia with Kudo Shinichi."
After bullying the juniors, Toru Amuro let go of his hands in a good mood: "For us, solving crimes is not a game, but a job that needs to be taken seriously. I hope you don't bother us with the idea of 'competition' for fun... In short, don't come here again gone."
With that said, Toru Amuro locked the door with a click and left.
……
Hattori Heiji was shut out: "..."
...Tokyo's detectives are so unfriendly.
He came here after a long journey, didn't see Jiang Xia, didn't see Kudo Shinichi, didn't ask anything, and was suddenly ridiculed... At the same time that Hattori Heiji's impression of Tokyo was -1, -1, -1, It also ignited unwilling fighting spirit.
He came here today to have a showdown with the "Famous Detective from the East".
As for the "high school student detective in the East", whether it refers to Jiang Xia or Kudo Shinichi, to be honest, Hattori Heiji has no idea.
Jiang Xia’s and Kudo Shinichi’s case-solving styles are indeed quite different, as some critics have said—different from Kudo Shinichi, who focuses on storytelling, Jiang Xia always solves cases quickly, perfunctorily and concisely, as if reading an outline.
However, Hattori Heiji feels that this difference may be the evidence that "Shinichi Kudo is hiding behind the scenes".
How can normal people find the murderer so quickly and accurately every time.
But if someone gave Jiang Xia a spoiler in advance, Jiang Xia will come out with a reasoning conclusion.Then his speed of solving the case makes sense.
"..." But this is just a guess after all, maybe Jiang Xia is really that kind of genius for solving crimes.
In short, Hattori Heiji intends to rely on his own reasoning ability to figure out how Jiang Xia solved the case.
……
At present, among the two key figures "Jiang Xia" and "Kudo", Shinichi Kudo is missing.
However, Jiang Xia's firm is clearly registered in the newspaper - every time Jiang Xia solves a case, he has to mention the firm's address.
Therefore, Hattori Heiji came to Jiangxia's place first, intending to find out the truth.
But now...
"..."
Hattori Heiji sighed at the closed door of the detective agency in front of him.
But quickly cheered up again.
Fortunately, besides Jiang Xia, he actually has another clue related to "Kudo Shinichi" - Kudo Shinichi seems to have a girlfriend.
Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji picked up his luggage and embarked on the journey again without admitting defeat.
