People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

Thunder roared, and rain poured down like a raging flood, making the atmosphere at the scene exceptionally oppressive.

Hattori Heizo's piercing lecturing voice echoed in Hattori Heiji's ears, turning his face ashen. His fingers clenched tightly together, even trembling slightly.

“His search methods, besides destroying the crime scene, do absolutely nothing to help the case.”

"He watched two people die right in front of him and couldn't even take precautions. This is the best proof that he thought he would be safe with the police around him."

“However, our police force did have some oversights.” At this moment, Chief Detective Toyama, who had been standing by watching the show from the sidelines, stepped forward to try to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Heh." Hattori Heizo chuckled twice, then continued seriously, "In short, we don't need an outsider like you here. You'd better disappear from our sight right now!"

"This...this, Chief, isn't that a bit too harsh..." Officer Otaki wanted to defend Hattori, but Toyama patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey, Otaki, what's wrong with you! Didn't I tell you to send someone to follow them?"

"Oh right! So, what the chief means is..."

Seeing that Officer Otaki finally understood what he meant, Toyama couldn't help but smile. Looking at the two of them, who were currently showing 'filial piety,' he said, "Yes, this is also a way for him to show his concern for his son."

Among the people present, besides the police officers, only Asakawa Yu noticed that something was wrong.

It's just that Hattori Heizo's actions were too deliberate, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were obvious.

At this moment, Hattori Heiji probably hadn't realized his father's good intentions. He was still deeply immersed in what Hattori Heizo had just said, and it seemed he was far from recovering.

After that, Hattori Heizo glanced at the body, inquired whether the case was a suicide, instructed one or two detectives to remain at the crime scene, and then left with Toyama and the other two.

Only Conan and his friends were left there, completely bewildered.

"Heiji, I think the director is so angry because two people died at the entrance of headquarters."

"But no matter what, there's no need to hit your own son."

Mori and Otaki each spoke a sentence, expressing the sentiments of everyone present.

“But I always felt that Heiji’s father did it for more than just that.” Akemi’s words immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Kazuha looked at Akemi in agreement and said, "I also think that, just like Ayami-nee said, Heiji's father probably didn't just want to teach Heiji a lesson."

"I think it's also possible that it's related to the murderer this time."

"Ok?"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that the two didn't understand, Kazuha explained again, "Didn't I tell you? When Heiji's dad drove us back yesterday, he mentioned something about pottery. Maybe there's some follow-up to that case."

“I understand what Kazuha means. In short, Hattori’s father believes that the murderer this time is the same robber from back then?” Akemi succinctly summarized the meaning of Kazuha’s words.

"Yes, yes, that's it!" Kazuha replied excitedly.

"So that's how it is. To prevent his son from encountering any danger, he would rather secretly shed tears and play the bad cop to drive you away, all for your safety. It's truly touching."

Mori sighed and looked at Hattori Heiji sitting on the ground with a forced smile.

Haha, if only it were that simple.

Meanwhile, Asakawa Yu, who hadn't said a word since the beginning, was silently thinking to herself.

He didn't believe that Hattori Heizo did so much just to prevent Hattori from getting involved in the case.

As Hattori's father, the person who knew Hattori's personality best, how could he not know that after he did this, Hattori's stubbornness, as stubborn as a donkey, would go against him?

How could they possibly obediently comply with his wishes and stop investigating the case?

However, since Hattori Heizo did nothing more, it means that all of this was within his plan. It is likely that everything he did to his son was just one part of his plan.

But what exactly is it supposed to do?

A robbery from over a decade ago, an arson and suicide case now... what's the connection between all of this...?

Wait! If all of this is for that thing...

At that moment, a white light flashed through Asakawa Yu's mind, and everything became clear.

So that's how it is. No wonder they say old ginger is spicier. Hattori Heizo's skill alone is enough for these young people to learn for years.

However, it really is a crazy plan. Using one's own son to lure out the snake is something most people wouldn't do.

Thinking this, Asakawa Yu slowly walked to the deceased's side and began to search her body, trying to see if she could find that thing.

"Boss, what are you looking for?" Seeing Asakawa Yu's actions, Akemi couldn't help but come to his side and squat down in imitation of him.

"Hey Asakawa, let's just leave this place to the police now."

Although Mori was puzzled by Asakawa Yu's actions, he still spoke up to remind him, since it would be more reassuring to leave the case of a robber to the police.

After hearing Mori's words, Asakawa Yu didn't say anything more, but her hands didn't stop moving.

As for Officer Otaki, he didn't disturb Asakawa Yu because he saw Mori's trust in him, and instead went along with Asakawa Yu's wishes, letting him investigate on his own.

“Haha, I found it.”

Asakawa Yu chuckled softly, still holding a dark shard of porcelain and a photograph that hadn't been burned.

"Hmm? Asakawa, what did you find?"

Seeing Asakawa Yu suddenly smile, Mori couldn't help but ask.

"This is it, take a look."

As he spoke, Asakawa Yu handed the porcelain shards to Inspector Otaki and Kogoro Mouri, and at that moment, Conan and Hattori also joined in.

"Why is there a broken piece of porcelain in the hand of every deceased person? And what's this... a photograph?"

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the photo that Asakawa Yu had just found...
