Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

“Even a person with an exceptional memory can easily fail to grasp the key points when drawing a criminal, resulting in a drawing that, no matter how realistic, lacks distinctiveness and cannot be applied in practice.”

“But Tenkai grasped this key point and emphasized the criminal’s characteristics in the drawing,” Conan gestured to the chin and eyebrows of the figure in the drawing, and then drew a similar arc on the sand with his finger. “The criminal is slightly fat, with a receding chin and protruding and long front teeth. These characteristics are enough to narrow down the scope of the investigation.”

“Yes, and the overall emotional expression in the picture is rather neutral.” Heiji Hattori also squatted down and added a horizontal line in the middle where the mouth is. “In order to avoid misleading the investigation, professionals will avoid drawing strong emotions, but in reality, it is impossible for the suspect to be expressionless throughout the whole process.”

“That’s right.” Conan put his hands in his pockets, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Yuki Amami, this girl who was once an employee of Anran Sanatorium and later became a makeup artist, what exactly is her identity...?

"Let's not worry about that for now. Since the other party's identity is unknown, shouldn't we just stay by Yin Jiu's side until we confirm her threat?" Hattori Heiji wiped the pattern on the ground with his palm, clapped his hands, and prepared to go closer to Yin Jiu to take a look.

However, just as he moved his knee, a shadow suddenly fell over his eyes, and then a pair of equally dark hands touched the ground, causing Hattori Heiji to be slightly startled. When he looked up, he saw a black crow staring at him with a forced smile.

"Uh... Amuro-nii-san?" Conan forced a smile, quickly straightened up, and put on an innocent expression. His childish voice was completely different from before.

That kid changes so fast!

Heiji Hattori was already terrified when he was caught cricketing behind someone's back. But before he could even recover, his friend had completely switched into his usual elementary school student mode, and he couldn't help but twitch his lips involuntarily.

Fortunately, Mr. Amuro didn't seem to have heard much of their conversation.

Thinking about it this way, perhaps the crow just saw the two of them together and came over out of curiosity to investigate.

As Hattori Heiji nervously sized up Amuro Tooru, Amuro Tooru's gaze had already swept across every corner of the room.

There were obvious signs of scratching on the sand, suggesting that the two men were discussing suspicious points in the case.

To be honest, as expected of Shinichi Kudo, he already had a suspicion as soon as he arrived at the scene. If it weren't for the fact that this kid is so unlucky and overly naive, Tooru Amuro would definitely recommend that Kudo apply to the police academy.

Sigh, let's observe for a while longer.

Amuro Tooru shifted his gaze from Conan to Hattori Heiji: "The more important issue now is this guy, a guy who's so audacious as to impersonate the only son of the Osaka Prefectural Government Chief, actually managed to come to Tokyo through connections with Yin Jiu's people."

He wanted to test what kind of monster this person who had "come back to life" really was.

"Hattori Heiji? I'm Yin Jiu's manager. Last time Jiu went to Osaka, it was thanks to your hospitality." Amuro Tooru said politely first.

Seeing the instantly alert expressions on Hattori Heiji and Conan's faces, he finally gave a cold, unfriendly smirk.

"Originally, it should have been our turn to host you. However, as you know, there have been some unfriendly rumors circulating online about Xiao Jiu recently. So..."

So this was a polite way of declining his request to meet with Xiao Jiu?

Hattori Heiji listened quietly, but the image of pitiful Yin Jiu kneeling in the center of the dark room, pleading desperately, only to be rejected outright by the members of the evil black-clad organization, uncontrollably surfaced in his mind, and anger began to brew in his heart.

"You wouldn't want photos of the 'heir to a British earl' and the 'only son of a high-ranking Japanese official' meeting in private to be published in the news, would you?" Amuro Tooru brought up the reason that Yin Jiu had initially mistakenly thought was true.

He silently apologized to Yin Jiu in his heart.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to be the bad guy, but the person in front of him was too suspicious. Amuro Tooru would never risk Yin Jiu's life.

"That is indeed a problem." Heiji Hattori's expression was not good, and his hands at his sides were clenched into fists. His question sounded like a discussion and a reminder, but it was actually a blatant threat.

Yin Jiu is indeed a child star, but that doesn't mean that paparazzi are always lurking in the shadows taking pictures of her.

Even with the current online uproar, the only people who could clearly know about his meeting with Yin Jiu and arrive in time to capture the precise photos are those arranged by this member of the black-clad organization. If it were any other reporter who took the photos, they would have to consider their own capabilities before daring to arbitrarily edit and send them out.

"I understand what you mean. I'll go to the water park next door from now on. Is that enough?"

"Thank you so much for your cooperation." Amuro Tooru, satisfied with the reply, watched Hattori Heiji turn and leave, and his face immediately lit up with a bright smile. "So, what about you? Would you like to go to the water park with your best friend?"

After saying this, Amuro Tooru bent down and brought half of his face close to Conan's.

"No, no need! I'm going to find Professor Agasa!" Conan was so frightened that he took several steps back and then disappeared in a flash.

After seeing the two off, Amuro Tooru finally had time to sneak around a corner and make a phone call.

"Kazami, I need to ask you to go to Beika Hospital, to that room called Conan... to check something for me."

-

"So, Ai, you came to the amusement park because Conan and Hattori invited you?"

"Ah."

Wasn't it Vermouth's order?

The homebody actually went on a trip?

Yin Jiu paid no attention to Conan and Hattori Heiji's movements, and just kept chatting with Haibara Ai.

Upon hearing the unexpected answer, he subconsciously looked up and blinked.

If it wasn't Vermouth, then it was probably Conan and Hattori who forced the child to come out.

Yin Jiu glanced around and saw Conan running towards her from Amuro Tooru's direction, looking dejected. She waved to him and asked, "Conan, where's Heiji?"

"He went to the water park next door, he's not with us." Conan finally shook off the suspicious person who seemed to be impersonating Hattori Heiji. He looked dejected, but he was actually overjoyed inside.

The rule that members of the Black Organization keep their identities secret from each other, while increasing the difficulty of criminal investigations for the world's police, makes it much easier for those who know the 'insider information' in advance.

Now Conan has pieced together his theories. He feels like someone who foresaw everything and had a complete grasp of the situation.

The unidentified Heiji Hattori, the unidentified Yuki Amami, and Tooru Amuro and Vermouth—let these guys fight like dogs!

"I see. I thought Heiji brought you guys here because he had something important to talk to me about." Yin Jiu looked disappointed and regretful. Heiji Hattori, who had altered some of his memories, was a famous detective in Kansai. It was unclear whether he had begun to realize that something was wrong.

-

Yin Jiu was thinking about Hattori Heiji, while Hattori Heiji was also recalling the awkwardness he had felt during this period.

This sense of incongruity seemed to become even more pronounced after arriving in Tokyo.

Heiji Hattori stopped in his tracks, his face grave as he looked at his palm.

—Is he really Hattori Heiji?
