She was wearing a silk rose-red nightgown with a V-neck that revealed her delicate collarbone and a large area of ​​snow-white skin.

The slit at the bottom of the nightgown reveals a pair of slender legs.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" She brushed her wet hair, and water droplets splashed on her collarbone, "I was cleaning and got all sweaty, so I took a shower. You know how girls are with showers..."

You know, it always takes some time for girls to take a bath...) Hattori Heiji froze in place, his eyes wide open, his gaze uncontrollably falling on Judy's half-exposed chest.

His face instantly turned red, even his ears were red, and he stammered: "That's aa lady's r-right..." (This, this is a lady's r-right...) Conan rolled his eyes and complained in his heart: This guy will definitely become the second Uncle Mori in the future... Judy was amused by Hattori's reaction and turned her eyes to him: "Oh, is this your new friend?" (Oh, is this your new friend?) She turned and walked inside, "Come on in, all of you." (Come in, everyone.

) Hattori took a step with his hands and feet together and almost tripped over the threshold.

Conan sighed and followed in. Shen Yuan walked in at the end and closed the door behind him.

As soon as Conan entered the door, he quickly took out the game disc from his schoolbag, looked up at Judy and said, "Teacher Judy, I remember you said that you are a fan of various games. This is a collector's edition that's really hard to find outside. I want to see who is better between you and Brother Shen!" Judy took the disc, her ice-blue eyes slightly curved, revealing a bright smile: "Of course! I've been looking forward to a match with the cool Mr. Shen. You're such a sweet boy." (Of course! I'm also looking forward to competing with the cool Mr. Shen.

Little boy, you are so "cute".

Shen Yuan stood aside with his hands in his windbreaker pockets, his tone lazy but with a hint of apology: "Miss Judy, I apologize for the sudden visit. This kid's curiosity is just too much sometimes." (Miss Judy, I'm so sorry.

The child was very curious, so he disturbed her rashly.

)——He deliberately made his words ambiguous.

"Very curious", as for what she is curious about, let Judy guess it herself.

Judy smiled, didn't respond, turned and walked towards the TV cabinet, bent down and looked for something: "Let me get my gaming setup. I put it away earlier..." (I want to get my gaming equipment. I put it away earlier.)

) When she bent down, the collar of her nightgown opened slightly, and Hattori Heiji's face turned red instantly, and he didn't know where to look.

Conan stepped on him hard, and Hattori lowered his head and met Conan's contemptuous eyes.

Hattori chuckled twice, suddenly lifted Conan up, and said loudly to Judy: "Judy-sensei! C-Conan says he needs to pee! Where's the bathroom?!" Judy blinked and pointed in the direction of the corridor: "Over there, please help yourself..." Before she finished her words, Hattori had already carried Conan and rushed out like a gust of wind.

For a moment, only Shen Yuan and Judy were left in the living room.

Judy looked in the direction where the two disappeared, chuckled, and said meaningfully: "That little boy and his friend are really... different, aren't they?"

Shen Yuan pretended not to understand her hint, shook the game disc casually, and said casually: "Miss Judy, shall we try a round first?" Judy took a last glance at the corridor, then turned around, her smile still natural: "Of course. I'm quite curious about Mr. Shen's skills."

) On the TV screen, two racing cars are speeding on a virtual track.

Shen Yuan leaned on the sofa, his fingers nimbly controlling the handle, while Judy leaned forward slightly, staring intently at the screen.

On the last lap, Shen Yuan's car drifted through the corner perfectly and crossed the finish line directly.

"WINNER!" Judy blinked and looked at the result on the screen in surprise.

"Oh, Mr. Shen, you're really amazing!" She put down the controller, with a bit of disbelief in her tone, "Last time at the arcade, you were already incredible at the boxing game, but I didn't expect you to be this good at racing too..." Shen Yuan shrugged and said casually: "Just luck."

) Just then, Hattori Heiji and Conan came back from the bathroom.

Judy turned to look at them, smiling brightly. "You two missed it! Mr. Shen just had an amazing victory!" She stood up and clapped her hands. "Now, it's getting late. How about I treat you all to dinner downstairs? After that, we can buy some snacks and come back to keep playing. I really need to restock, and you boys can help me carry things. What do you say, Mr. Shen?"

What do you think, Mr. Shen?) Shen Yuan nodded and said gently: "Then we'll trouble you, Miss Judy." (Then we'll trouble you, Miss Judy.)

) Judy stood up with a smile: "Alright, wait for me in the living room for a bit. I'll go change." (Okay, wait for me in the living room for a bit. I'll go change.)

) After saying that, she turned and walked towards the bedroom.

As soon as Judy left, Conan and Hattori Heiji's faces immediately darkened.

Shen Yuan glanced at them, continuing to play the single-player game, and asked casually: "Why do you look like that? What did you find?" Hattori Heiji held his chin with his brows furrowed: "It's very wrong... She said she took a long shower, but there was no heat in the bathroom and the mirror was not foggy!" Conan pushed his glasses and added in a low voice: "Also, there is no trace of hair in the drain, it doesn't look like it has just been used!" The two fell into deep thought, and various possibilities flashed through their minds - is she lying? What is she hiding? Shen Yuan didn't even look up, his fingers continuing to press the controller: "You have only looked at the bathroom for so long?"

"Huh?" Conan and Hattori were both stunned.

Shen Yuan glanced at them helplessly: "You don't think that this kind of luxury apartment only has one bathroom, do you?" Conan: "......?" Hattori Heiji: "......?"

"My bedroom has a bathroom, but I removed the toilet and turned it into a bathing room.

Do you think Miss Judy's bedroom will also have a bathroom?"

“…” Damn! They forget the diversity of rich people!

Chapter 137 Visiting the English Teacher 3

Judy changed her clothes and tucked her short blond hair neatly behind her ears.

As the four of them walked towards the elevator, she suddenly looked at Hattori Heiji with interest.

"What a surprise," Judy said in Japanese with a distinct foreign accent, "We are both foreigners, but you speak Japanese so well, although your accent is a bit strange..." Hattori Heiji suddenly stopped and looked surprised: "Huh?! A foreigner?" Judy raised her index finger to her chin: "Let me guess where you're from... Hmm..." "Pfft--" Conan hurriedly covered his mouth, his shoulders shaking.

Hattori's whole face turned red instantly, even his ears were red.

"This is standard Osaka dialect!" he retorted loudly, then immediately switched back to Japanese. "This is also standard Japanese! Who is a foreigner?" Judy made a soothing gesture with her hands: "Sorry, sorry~" She blinked and added in stiff Japanese, "I judged you by your appearance!"

"If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them randomly! Is this how this word is used?" Hattori Heiji waved his arms frantically.

Conan finally couldn't hold back his laughter and squatted on the ground.

"Hey! Ko-Conan!!" Hattori Heiji instantly got furious, his whole face flushed red, and he grabbed the little detective by the collar and shook him back and forth, "What are you laughing at! What's wrong with the Osaka accent? Is the Osaka accent not authentic Japanese?!" Veins bulged on his forehead, but it was obvious that he was not really angry. Instead, he looked more like a cat that had been poked in the sore spot.

Shen Yuan coughed gently, interrupting the farce at the right time: "The elevator is here, let's go down!" The metal door slowly closed, and the mirrored wall reflected the different expressions of the four people.

Hattori was still muttering "What foreigners" under his breath, and Conan was hanging in the air, trying hard to keep a straight face and hold back his laughter.

Judy's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, looking at Hattori Heiji and Conan curiously.

Shen Yuan stood at the outermost edge, his eyelashes casting fine shadows under the light, perfectly concealing the emotions in his eyes.

"Hmph!" When they arrived at the first floor, Hattori Heiji finally let go of Conan's collar, walked into the elevator with his arms folded, muttering, "What foreigners... People from Kansai are eating your rice..." As soon as they walked out of the glass revolving door, they saw a young woman not far away holding up her mobile phone to take pictures of the building.

Conan narrowed his eyes: "It's the woman from just now..." Hattori Heiji curled his lips: "Why take pictures at this time? It's dark, what can you take pictures of?" Judy straightened the collar of her windbreaker and said: "That's Miss Shimoda, girlfriend of Mr. Takai who lives next to me. Today's actually the first time I've seen him bring her to the apartment." (That's Miss Shimoda, girlfriend of Mr. Takai who lives next to me.

Today was the first time I saw Mr. Takai bring her to the apartment.

) Before he could finish his words, a cell phone suddenly fell from the sky and hit the sidewalk in front of everyone with a "bang".

"Hey, is there anyone throwing objects from high places now?" Hattori Heiji noticed that it was a mobile phone and looked up, "Is the owner of the lost item maybe sticking his head out from upstairs..." His voice stopped abruptly.

After Conan looked up, he and Hattori Heiji froze in place at the same time, their pupils contracted violently - in the night sky directly above them, a black shadow was falling rapidly.

Shen Yuan quickly grabbed the back of the collars of the two men and pulled them back violently.

"Are you two trying to verify the impact resistance limit of the human skull?" The next second after Shen Yuan pulled the two apart, "Bang!" The dull collision sound was particularly harsh in the night, and a figure completed the challenge of falling from a high altitude.

Judy seemed to react suddenly, covering her mouth and exclaiming: "Oh my god! Someone fell!" A heart-wrenching scream came from not far away: "Takai--!" The woman who was taking the photo staggered over, the phone slipped from her trembling hands, and the woman knelt on the ground sobbing.

Hattori Heiji squatted down and looked directly at the sobbing woman: "Miss, why didn't you see Mr. Takai when you and the other two men came out of Mr. Takai's house just now?" He glanced at the corpse on the ground and confirmed that this was not any of the three people he saw on the 21st floor.

The woman wiped her tears, her voice choked with sobs: "Takai... was drunk and resting in the bedroom..." She suddenly became excited, "How could this be... How could he be so depressed that he committed suicide?"

"Suicide?" Hattori raised an eyebrow. "Why are you so sure? Maybe he was pushed down?"

"Impossible!" The woman looked up suddenly, "He was already drunk when we left, so I helped him to the bedroom to rest. He was the only one in the room at that time, and he couldn't hear the doorbell from his bedroom. I locked the door before I left..." She took out a key from her bag tremblingly, "There is only this one key, and it has always been with me..." Conan held up the mobile phone he had just picked up. Although the screen was broken, the call record could still be seen clearly: "But, this uncle was talking to a man named 'Kawakami' before he fell from the building!" He pushed his glasses, "He wouldn't jump off the building while talking on the phone, right?" Hattori added, "Besides, you took pictures of the building in such a dark environment just now, which is also very suspicious!" He took out his mobile phone, "Anyway, let's call the police first!" Ten minutes later, Inspector Megure arrived at the scene with Takagi and others.

Seeing several familiar faces, Inspector Megure's eyes turned into crescent eyes: "You... are you infecting each other with the 'Aura of Death'?" The corners of Officer Takagi's mouth twitched.

Conan and Hattori tacitly showed their signature big white teeth smiles.

Shen Yuan waved gently: "Good evening, Inspector Megure!" Judy greeted warmly: "Officer, long time no see~" Inspector Megure looked at Judy's bright smile, a drop of cold sweat silently flowed from his forehead, and he thought to himself: "My wish is that I will never see you at the crime scene again in this life..." Ten minutes later, the police quickly locked in several key figures - Kawakami Kage, Nakamachi Michiya and the deceased's girlfriend - through on-site investigation, call records of the victim's mobile phone, and Hattori Heiji's description of the witnesses on the 21st floor, and began to summon and question them.

Chapter 138 Visiting the English Teacher 4

Officer Chiba stayed downstairs to continue taking statements from the three suspects, while Inspector Megure took Takagi into the apartment of the deceased Takai.

Conan and Hattori Heiji followed in naturally, and Judy smoothed her short golden hair.

A sharp light flashed across the lens and followed.

Shen Yuan put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker and went in as well.

After entering the apartment, Inspector Megure seemed to be selectively blind, allowing Hattori Heiji and Conan to run around the crime scene. The two of them smiled smugly after seeing the scene.

Hattori Heiji strode to the bedside. The deceased's bed was placed next to the window. At this time, the window was wide open and the curtains had been blown outside: "Inspector, please look!" He pointed to the obviously deformed curtain track, "Three hooks have fallen off, and the track is crooked. This is obviously a sign of someone pulling it hard!" Hattori Heiji affirmed: "This shows that Takai grabbed the curtain when he fell from the building. This is a typical survival behavior. This is not something a suicidal person would choose!" Conan squatted by the window, his fingers gently stroking the cracks on the glass: "This impact mark was formed from the outside to the inside!" He took out the mobile phone from the evidence bag, "Looking at the scratches on Mr. Takai's mobile phone, I guess he tried to throw the phone back to the room when he was floating outside the window. There might be something important in the phone!" Hattori Heiji snapped his fingers, "So, this is definitely not suicide! This is the so-called locked-room Murder! (Secret room murder)" The two of them were analyzing the situation back and forth, completely unaware that Judy's right hand was hanging naturally behind them, and she took out her cell phone, the camera of the phone was steadily aimed at the young men who were chatting.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan also took out his mobile phone, turned on the video function, and recorded the entire scene.

Finally, Hattori Heiji clapped his hands and suggested, "Since there are doubts, why don't we simulate the scene?"

"Good idea!" Judy immediately put away her phone and raised her hand actively, "I'll play the victim!" She tilted her head and smiled, her blonde hair falling over her shoulders, "Since I'm supposed to be passed out drunk on the bed, for realism's sake I should drink some alcohol first." (Since I'm supposed to be passed out drunk on the bed, for realism's sake I should drink some alcohol first.)

) Officer Takagi's mouth twitched: "...Isn't that necessary?" Neither of them cared about Officer Takagi's opinion. Judy suggested that she wanted to drink her favorite brand of wine.

While Officer Takagi was speechless, Hattori Heiji took the initiative to buy her a kind of wine called Fino.

Judy took the wine that Hattori Heiji poured for her, took a sip, and her eyes lit up: "Oh! This is delicious! I could drink it all!" She put the wine to her lips, took a sip, and then winked at Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji's face turned red instantly, and Conan continued to despise him.

Shen Yuan stood aside, his eyes fixed on the wine bottle, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

——Fino, this wine is also called light dry sherry wine. As the name suggests, it is the driest and lightest type of traditional sherry wine.

What was she hinting at? Finally, after reenacting their case, they deduced that the murderer's method of killing was to move the bed in Gaojing's bedroom from the left front, facing the window with a balcony, to the right side, where there was no balcony window.

In this way, when Takai was lying on the bed, the murderer only needed to leave and then call Takai; when the two were talking on the phone, he claimed that the signal was bad and asked Takai to come to the window where the signal was better.

Because of his habit, Takai would directly step onto the window with the balcony and look for signals, so - Hattori Heiji suddenly looked at Kawakami: "The murderer is you!" His voice echoed in the apartment, "Mr. Kawakami, it is said that you went to the bathroom for a long time in the middle of the dinner. At that time, you actually went to Mr. Takai's bedroom, right?" Conan pushed his glasses and added calmly: "You moved the bed from its original position facing the balcony window to the other side.

The drunk Takai was placed in the 'wrong' position by Miss Shimoda, who was here for the first time. When he received the call, he instinctively walked towards the 'balcony window' in his memory..." Hattori strode to the window and ran his fingers across the window frame: "Teacher Judy said that the signal here is not very good, so Mr. Takai has long been accustomed to answering the phone directly on the balcony over here.

When the bed is moved, Takai will step out of the building just as we saw!"

"I ended up stepping into a death trap!" Hattori suddenly pulled open the curtain on the right, and outside the window was the unobstructed view of the sky on the 21st floor.

"The evidence is here!" Conan held up the mobile phone in the evidence bag, "Mr. Takai tried to throw the phone back into the room before he fell from the building... You were the last person to talk to him!" Hattori Heiji added, "More importantly, we found fresh drag marks on the wooden floor at the foot of the bed in the bedroom!" He squatted down and stroked a few tiny scratches with his fingers, "This proves that the bed was indeed moved, and it was moved not long ago-and during the dinner, you were the only one who left the living room!" Kawasaki's shoulders trembled slightly, and he suddenly laughed.

He took out a cherry blossom hairpin from his inner pocket: "The last message Hiraya sent me said...'Senior, I'm still not high enough!'" His fingers trembled slightly, "Takai said that if you want to climb up, you must look up and don't care about the people below. He also said that people who fail to complete the task are waste and have no value in living at all - he squeezed Hiraya's value like this, and said that she was worthless and wanted to lay her off. Hiraya committed suicide because of this, but Takai herself did not feel any guilt about this person and even commented that she was too fragile!" The room fell into silence.

The balcony curtains moved automatically without wind, revealing the brand new metal section where the hook broke.

"That's enough!" Inspector Megure pulled out the handcuffs. "Kawakami, you're under arrest for suspected murder!" As the police car drove away, Hattori Heiji looked at the window on the 21st floor and suddenly said, "When that guy finally grabbed the curtain... did he finally understand how important it was to 'look down at the people below'?" The case was solved at 8 o'clock, so Shen Yuan and the others declined Judy's invitation to dinner. Shen Yuan was already walking out, holding Conan by the back of his collar. "Conan-kun," he shook his phone, which showed Xiaolan's number, "Miss Xiaolan called me. She's worried that you didn't go home so late. Your detective game should be over!"

"Wait! I haven't..." Conan struggled to turn around - Judy was leaning against the door and talking to Hattori Heiji, her short golden hair blown by the night wind: "Private Eye, you are so awesome!" Her Japanese suddenly became fluent.

Hattori Heiji paused, and a sharp smile appeared on his dark face: "You are not bad either.

The grammar is perfect but the tone is deliberately messy..." He lowered the brim of his baseball cap, "Are you trying to let your opponent down?" Hattori Heiji suddenly changed his expression and stopped talking to Judy. Instead, he jumped back a few steps and looked at Shen Yuan, "Brother Shen Yuan! I'll leave this kid to you! I have to catch a bus back to Osaka. If I don't go back, He Ye will stew me into Okonomiyaki~" Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Chapter 139: "Tips" for Model Workers

At the door of the apartment, Judy leaned against the wall, watching the backs of several people disappear into the night.

The moonlight fell on her blonde hair, and the lenses reflected a cold light for a moment. The corners of her lips curled up meaningfully - she made a phone call: "Well... very smart, really as smart as Kudo Shinichi, and they have common friends... It's really a coincidence!" A low male voice came from the other end of the phone, as if asking something.

Judy chuckled and curled the ends of her hair with her fingertips: "Shen? He doesn't seem to be curious about me. He was simply dragged here by the two kids, right?" After a brief silence, she shrugged: "Do you think he needs attention?... No need!" After hanging up the phone, she took a last look at the direction Shen Yuan left, turned and walked into the apartment.

After Shen Yuan sent Conan home, he opened the door and saw Lightning lying lazily on the carpet, biting the cartilage molar with his sharp teeth, making a slight "crunching" sound. It was obvious that he had eaten dinner.

And Gin - a tall figure outlined by a sharply tailored black suit, his silver hair tied behind his head, a few strands of hair hanging down between his cold brows, dressed like a social elite, sitting in the middle of the sofa.

As his slender fingers flipped through the documents, the platinum cufflinks on his cuffs reflected a cold light. He looked like a sword drawn from its sheath, and even the air around him became sharp and oppressive.

The sofa in his house seems to have become an extension of his office.

Shen Yuan's tongue tip gently pressed against his upper palate, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.

——This kind of heart-pounding feeling of being attracted to danger is really deadly.

He tilted his head and smiled, his voice deliberately soft. "Boss, why are you so kind today? You're even feeding me lightning?" He walked slowly closer, his fingertips lightly brushing the hair on Gin's shoulders. "Do you need my special thanks?" Gin asked sarcastically, not even looking up. "Going out to be a messenger of justice again?" Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow. Why did he find this sour? "Boss, don't misunderstand me. I'm helping you with your research!" Gin's only response was a cold snort, and then he looked at the documents carefully.

Shen Yuan came closer with interest, sat on the armrest of the sofa, and tilted his head to look at the documents in Gin's hand.

Gin didn't hide, or even look up, but just let his eyes sweep across the pages - the document contained death reports of presidents of several companies, with detailed financial analysis and equity structure. Gin was circling suitable successors with a pen.

Upon closer inspection, the corner of Shen Yuan's mouth twitched.

——Because he recognized at a glance that several of the presidents... were the ones who unfortunately died under Conan's "personal expedition".

So... Gin had developed a new way to use his detective skills? Leveraging the "little detective's" aura of death to eliminate dissidents? Shen Yuan was silent for a long time, and Gin finally raised his eyes.

The gray-green eyes stared at him coldly, and the words clearly read in the eyes: "Do you have any objections?" The air froze for a moment.

Shen Yuan blinked, then smiled brightly and gave him a thumbs up: "Boss is so busy at work, but he still finds time to screen successors for each branch -" He deliberately dragged out the tone, "What a model worker!~" Gin's fingers stopped at the edge of the document, and the paper made a slight rustling sound in the silence.

He suddenly spoke in a low and cold voice: "What did you go to investigate?" The question seemed casual, but Gin's hair was tied behind his head, so Shen Yuan clearly noticed that his ears were moving.

A hint of smile flashed across Shen Yuan's eyes, and then he spoke: "Today, the Little Detective and the Kansai Detective are teaming up to investigate that "English teacher". They even invited me, hoping that I could contain her by playing games, and then they can do an infiltration investigation.

Before they can find out anything..." Shen Yuan suddenly took out his cell phone and played the video he recorded today. Then he leaned forward, holding the phone in his right hand and handed it directly to Gin, while his left hand rested on the back of the sofa beside Gin.

"Look," he said, his lips almost touching Gin's ear, and his warm breath brushed the skin behind his ear: "Another case happened there, and the two of them started solving the case regardless of the consequences, completely forgetting their initial guard against the "English teacher"! "The mobile phone screen clearly showed Judy's right hand hanging at her side - her fingertips were subtly adjusting the shooting angle, as well as the wonderful performance of the two detectives.
