Chapter 238: The High School Detective from Kansai Arrives

Lingshi and Ling Cheng looked at Conan at the same time. Conan, who had a cold, showed an innocent expression. He didn't do anything, so why were they looking at him like that?

The voice on the phone continued:

"Ms. Lan said that Kudo Shinichi on the phone had a cold, and she also mentioned that someone else made medicine for him, so that's my guess."

The look that Reiji gave Conan said it all, his face was full of "You are really good, kid."

Conan: Haha... I have a cold and my brain is not very good. I don’t know why this kind of guy would appear.

Wait, that’s not right, Conan realized, who is that guy and why is he with Xiaolan.

Conan wanted to ask anxiously, but Lingshi pressed his head down and made him sit on the sofa and drink his medicine.

Zero Hour: "Um, this one, who are you?"

As if she had just realized it, she introduced herself:

"Oh, sorry, I'm Hattori Heiji from Kansai, a high school detective like Kudo Shinichi. I came here this time to compete with him to see who is the best high school detective."

Midnight: What an energetic kid.

Reiji: "Is that so? Then you've already found other high school detectives to compete with?"

"Ah, ah?"

Hattori Heiji was stunned, but Lingshi continued:

"Isn't it? There are more than just Kudo Shinichi who are high school detectives. Haven't you found others to compete with?"

Hattori Heiji: "Uh, no, I just want to compete with Kudo Shinichi!"

Ling Shi: "Oh, that's a shame. We don't know where this guy went. It seems you will return empty-handed."

Hattori Heiji: "How could this happen!"

Ling Shi: "That can't be helped. How about this, if you can find him, you will be considered better than him."

Hattori Heiji: "Huh?"

Zero Hour: "That's it, bye."

Ling Cheng/Conan: It's so mean to play tricks on others.

The call was hung up at midnight, leaving Hattori Heiji on the other side with Ran's phone in his hand, with no choice but to return the phone to Ran Mouri.

But he was sure that his previous inference was correct, and that this Zero Hour was really a big suspect, so he turned around and asked Mao Li Ran about Zero Hour's address.

Hattori Heiji: "Maybe they are making an emergency escape plan now, just in time to catch Kudo Shinichi!"

When Mao Lilan heard this, although Lei Shi said she didn't know, she also became excited when she thought about catching Kudo Shinichi.

She really wanted to ask why he disappeared for so long, not even going to school, and whether it was just like what Hattori said, he was still watching her nearby.

The more Ran Mouri thought about it, the more she couldn't stop, so she simply went to Zero Toki's house with Hattori Heiji.

On Lingshi's side, after Conan drank the medicine, Ling Cheng took him back to the bedroom and laid him down, while Lingshi washed his hands and disinfected them.

Although Lingshi rarely gets sick throughout the year, he can't forget the days in his previous life when he was often infected by his family members.

Now that Conan has a cold, Lingshi has become alert and stays away from Conan, fearing that he will infect him.

Just as Lingshi finished disinfecting the sofa and sat down, the doorbell rang. Lingshi had no choice but to get up and open the door. There was no way, Ling Cheng was still in Conan's room.

As soon as I opened the door at midnight, I saw Ran Mouri and Heiji Hattori rushing over. Wow, it was our first time meeting, and the guy's skin tone was indeed darker.

Lingshi: "Xiaolan? Why are you here? Never mind, please come in first. I'll go make tea."

Mao Lilan: "No need, Mr. Zero Time, let's just come in and take a look?"

Zero hour:?

Hattori Heiji: "Let's see if Kudo Shinichi is hiding here with you."

Midnight: ...

So that's how it is. You actually found my house. You two are quite stubborn.

"Okay, okay, please come in and find your way around."

There was no other way but to welcome the two people in at midnight. They walked into the living room to observe them, then said sorry for disturbing them and asked if they could go into the room to take a look.

Lingshi: "It's not impossible, but you are not allowed to touch the bedroom. You need to get permission from the owner of the room."

As he spoke, Lingshi looked at Hattori Heiji who was observing the living room. After he finished checking the living room, he simply led them to look at each room one by one.

When he opened his room, Ling Shi was not allowed in. After all, it was his and Huang Quan's private space, and letting you see it was considered giving you face.

Hattori Heiji did not force his way in. After all, it was someone else's bedroom, and it was clearly visible, with no place for anyone to hide.

Zero Hour: "This is Conan's room. He has a cold. Please keep your voices down."

Next up is Conan's room. I knocked on the door at midnight, and Ling Cheng opened the door and came out.

"What's wrong? Aren't you afraid of being infected?"

Ling Cheng opened the door and saw that Ling Shi was not standing in front of him, but was far away on the other side of the two of them.

"This is what you are doing?"

Ling Cheng was puzzled. Hattori Heiji and Mori Ran did not go in either. It was not ethical to disturb the patient's rest, so Ling Cheng simply closed the door and came out to ask.

Hattori Heiji explained:

"Little boy, how many people live in your house?"

Ling Cheng:?

"Four people, what's wrong?"

Hattori Heiji: "Is there someone named Kudo Shinichi?"

Ling Cheng now knew that it was directed at the person in the room behind him, so he answered no.

Ling Cheng: "No, I haven't seen it."

Hattori Heiji didn't believe it, and then he went to see Ling Cheng's room and other rooms. In the end, he had to admit that his reasoning was wrong.

At midnight, I brought hot tea to the living room and asked them to take a break.

"Now you believe it, right? I don't have any Tibetans at home. I really don't know where that guy went."

Hattori Heiji did not find any evidence that Kudo Shinichi lived here, and even Mouri Ran did not find any, so he had to give up the ridiculous idea.

Mao Lilan cares about Conan and mentions,

"By the way, how's Conan? Is his cold serious?"

Ling Cheng continued:

"It's not a big deal. I just caught a cold when I ran out. I just took some medicine, so it should be fine."

Originally, Mao Lilan and the other person wanted to say goodbye, but they just asked them to sit for a while and chatted with each other over hot tea.

Zero Hour: "It's so cold, sit down for a while."

A few people were chatting there, and then Mao Lilan's phone rang. After answering the phone, Mao Lilan explained that it was her father calling, saying that he had work to do and might be back late tonight.

Speaking of the case, Hattori Heiji, who was sitting here with nothing to do, became excited and wanted to join in the fun, so he wanted to get up and follow.

Lingshi also thought of this matter and thought about asking Ling Cheng,

"Do you want to go?"

Ling Cheng:?

Which eye of yours saw that I, like these detectives, became interested in the case as soon as I heard about it.

Besides, he's out. Can Lingshi take good care of Conan? Otherwise, we might see him catching a cold tomorrow.

As they were talking, when Mouri Ran and Hattori Heiji were about to say goodbye, Conan ran out of the room by himself.

Lingshi: "Oh, it seems you still have to go."

Ling Cheng: "Are these detectives really that obsessed with cases?"

System: Good question.
