Model worker and his little darling

Just as the group was discussing Itagaki Locke, they were interrupted by a father and son who suddenly entered. "That older brother was killed. I saw him being thrown off the bridge."

After some questioning, it was learned that the little boy was convinced that he had seen Itagaki Locke being murdered, so his father brought him to seek the help of Detective Mouri.

However, upon hearing the little boy's description, he saw a black car, a man wearing a hat, and nail patterns on his hands that looked disgusting, and a huge, glowing hammer next to the car.

Uncle Mori, who never trusts children, grabbed the little boy by the collar right in front of his father. "Kid, are you looking down on me?" Realizing that this wasn't Conan he could just punch, he quickly let go and patted the little boy's head. "Little brother, don't play tricks on adults."

Just then, Hondo Eisuke stepped forward, squatted down in front of the little boy, and reached out to feel the boy's pulse in his neck. "Little brother, you're right, aren't you? Everything you said was actually a lie, wasn't it?"

Seeing Hondo Eisuke's action, Conan's eyes widened, recalling that Rena Mizunashi had also made the same gesture to him at Beika Park.

You can judge whether a person is lying by observing their pulse, breathing rate, and the degree of pupil contraction.

This is a common method used by the CIA, and Hondo Eisuke also knows it. So, what is his relationship with Mizunashi Rena...?

"It's not fake, I'm telling the truth."

After confirming it in his mind, Hondo Eisuke patted the little boy's head and looked at everyone with a smile, "I think this child is not lying."

Uncle Mori rolled his eyes. "Four days have passed. If what he said was true, the body should have been discovered long ago. The news is making a huge fuss about it now."

He then turned on the TV, which happened to be reporting the news of Itagaki Locke's murder, and the general situation was consistent with the little boy's description.

Uncle Mori was stunned. "There really is such a thing?"

Ping Qing coughed lightly; the slap in the face came too quickly.

Ran looked at Hondou Eisuke and said, "Eisuke, you're amazing! You can tell whether your brother is lying or not just by looking at his expression."

Hondo Eisuke scratched his head sheepishly. "It's nothing. My dad used to do that to me a lot when I was little. I was just imitating him."

Hearing this, Ping Qing curled his lips. This family was quite interesting. Similar to the Akai family, they had almost managed to get the whole family involved in the organization.

"Since this little boy is an important eyewitness, let's call the police and let them handle this matter."

Uncle Mori frowned at Hirakiyo, "But the problem is, one minute he says Itagaki Locke is Sawhead, the next he says the prisoner has nail patterns on his hands, and finally he says he saw a huge, glowing hammer. Do you really think the police will listen to these kinds of claims?"

"Uncle, you don't need to worry about that. Whenever Conan and the others encounter problems, they just need to ask Officer Takagi for help, let alone a murder case like this."

After all, Officer Takagi is Conan's top disciple in the Metropolitan Police Department, and his main trait is obedience. As long as Conan speaks, he will say everything that Conan should and shouldn't say.

Conan looked at Hirakiri speechlessly. They had called the police after discovering the case, but Officer Takagi was the one who came. It wasn't like they bothered Officer Takagi for every little thing.

Hearing what Hirakiyo said, Mori remembered the favor Takagi had done for him before. Takagi was indeed a very easy person to talk to, so he agreed to Hirakiyo's suggestion.

Soon, police cars pulled up downstairs at the detective agency, and the officers were all familiar faces.

"Brother Pingqing, where are the eyewitnesses to Itagaki Locke's murder?"

Under Inspector Megure's expectant gaze, Hirakiyo pointed to the little boy, "Officer, the eyewitness is this little boy."

Trusting Heikiyo, Inspector Megure patiently listened to the little boy's testimony, only to feel utterly exhausted. Heikiyo had always been seen as steady and reliable in his mind. He then glared fiercely at Uncle Mori; it was all Mori's fault for being so unreliable, corrupting such a good child.

Seeing that the police didn't trust him, the little boy shouted, "What I said is true!"

“Officer, what this little boy said is true. Besides, the Junior Detective Team has provided you with a lot of clues before.”

Inspector Megure thought about it for a moment, and it really was true. But a child's perspective is too confusing, and in the end, there might not be much useful information. So he looked at Takagi, who was diligently taking notes, and said, "Takagi, you stay here and assist Mori-kun in figuring out the clues this little boy provided."
