Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

Chapter 257 The Letter Left by Xiao Hei

Two days later, Conan and his friends finally completed the commission from the Hase family.

This commission seems to involve two cases, but in fact the first one is designed to set a trap for the Nishizaki family and is not a formal case. Only the last case is the case that the Hase family really wants to commission - the case of Hase Jin's suicide in prison.

At that time, the entire Hase family was still trying to find doubts and evidence in the case, trying to clear Hase Jin's name. However, in the end, they suddenly received the news that Hase Jin had committed suicide in prison.

—This is murder! It's pure murder!

Yuta Hase simply doesn't believe that his father committed suicide.

Unfortunately, however, until the police closed the case, they did not find any evidence of homicide.

All clues indicate that Hasegawa Jin committed suicide.

This became a knot in Hase Yuta's heart, and even after nine years, he still couldn't let it go.

So for this last case, he hopes the detectives can help him find evidence of homicide, or at least prove that Hasegawa Jin did not commit suicide.

Nine years had passed since the case began, but the situation was more difficult than the detectives had imagined. However, they finally found suspicious points in the autopsy report of that year, proving that the forensic doctor who performed the autopsy on Hase Jin was very likely to have had problems and had tampered with the autopsy report.

Of course, this only proves that there were indeed doubts about what happened back then, and it cannot completely overturn the argument that "Hase Jin committed suicide."

——But at least this result gave Hase Yuta some confidence.

……

After solving the case, it was already evening.

After being busy all day without knowing what he was doing, Maori Kogoro happily pocketed his reward and yawned lazily: "Ah, this case has finally been solved successfully. I've been so tired these past two days!"

Mao Lilan pressed Mao Li Kogoro's shoulders distressedly to relieve his fatigue: "You've worked hard, Dad! Take a good rest these few days."

Maori Kogoro squinted his eyes comfortably, enjoying the intimate massage of the little cotton-padded jacket: "Well, thank you, Xiaolan!"

Hattori Heiji and Conan, who were lying on the sofa, both rolled their eyes.

Hey, if I remember correctly, the uncle was slacking off while they were investigating, right? How could he be so tired?

Hattori Heiji crossed his arms and huddled with Conan, muttering to himself.

"Heiji! The case is over, can we go out and play tomorrow?"

Toyama Kazuha interspersed between the two of them and looked at Hattori Heiji expectantly.

Hattori Heiji immediately shifted his attention from his good brother: "Of course! Haven't you always been curious about Gion in Kyoto? I'll take you there tomorrow."

"Great!"

Yuanshan and Ye became happy.

Everyone has been busy with the case these days, and Toyama Kazuha and Maori Ran were embarrassed to go too far, so they basically just strolled around the manor these days and didn't go anywhere. Now they can finally free up and go to other places in Kyoto.

Hattori Heiji also knew that he had neglected his childhood sweetheart these past few days. He rubbed his nose a little apologetically and said seriously, "It just so happens that I got a reward too. I'll treat you tomorrow!"

Yuanshan Heye didn't hesitate, clenched her fists fiercely, and showed her neat white teeth: "Okay! I'm going to make a killing on you!"

Conan was not interested in what was happening between these childhood sweethearts. He jumped off the sofa and moved to the other side while they were talking.

Looking at his childhood sweetheart massaging her old father's shoulders, Conan scratched his head, feeling that he had nothing to do here.

He simply turned around and walked out of the living room and into the yard.

Outside the yard, Bai Ma Tan was carrying his suitcase and talking to the old butler.

"Master Bai Ma, why don't you rest for a few more days? Our master still wants to express his gratitude to you. Now that you're gone, we haven't fulfilled our duty as hosts..."

"It's okay. I have a case to solve in Tokyo, so I should go back now." Bai Ba Tan declined gently, but his tone was unquestionable. "Thank you very much for your hospitality these days."

Conan walked over in surprise: "Brother Bai Ma, are you ready to leave?"

Bai Ma heard the sound and looked at the little kid beside him: "Well, the matter here has been resolved. I have to hurry back to Tokyo."

Conan nodded and sighed in his heart: "This guy is really busier than the previous Kudo Shinichi..."

"By the way, this is what the little black detective asked me to give to you before he left." The old butler took out a letter and handed it to the white horse detective.

"Xiao Hei?" Conan was puzzled at first, then realized that this Xiao Hei referred to the guy whose face he didn't even see that day.

Strangely enough, this "Little Black" detective was not seen in any subsequent cases. He thought that this mysterious guy had left, but it turned out that he was still there.

Bai Ma Tan took the envelope with some doubt: "He gave it to me?"

They don't seem to have anything to communicate...

Bai Ma Tan guessed what Xiao Hei meant and opened the envelope to check.

Conan was too short to see the contents of the envelope. He could only vaguely make out a few blurry words from the translucent paper.

[Gion Festival, entertainment, illegality...]

The letter just shook for a moment, and before Conan could continue to decipher the contents on it, Hakuba Tan, who could read quickly, had already closed the letter with a dark face and stuffed it back into the envelope.

Looking at Hakuba Tan's expression and combining it with the few words he had just glanced at, Conan also had a bad guess in his mind.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Bai Ma Tan didn't answer him. Instead, he frowned and asked the old butler, "Where is he? When did he leave?"

The old housekeeper said: "He left this morning."

Bai Ma Tan was a little disappointed: "Is that so..."

Running pretty fast——

He picked up his suitcase again and nodded to the old butler: "Thank you for the hospitality, I'll be leaving now."

Old housekeeper: "I'll take you——"

"No thanks."

Then Bai Ma Tan turned around and left.

Conan:? ? ?

Conan was disheveled in the wind, his heart frantic, and extremely curious about the contents of the letter.

Unfortunately, Bai Ma Tan is also a guy who doesn't like to share.

He could only call out to the old butler: "Grandpa Butler, why do you all call him Detective Black? Doesn't he have a more detailed name?"

This name is neither a nickname nor a real name. It is really too strange.

The old butler: "Uh... Actually, that's the name he gave himself. We don't know his real name."

Conan: "?"

Without knowing the name or identity, you, the Hase family, let someone in?

Isn't it a little hasty?
