"Are you a detective?"

"no."

"???" Hattori is a little confused, you are not a detective, so what does this mean...

"Brother Okino, what did you mean by what you just said? Is it possible that there is something hidden in this case?" In Officer Megure's mind, although brother Okino is out of tune, it is still quite useful sometimes.

"Well, it's not that it's a hidden secret. It's just that you have overlooked one thing about this case, especially you two detectives."

Kudo frowned and perked up his ears while suppressing the physical discomfort. Hattori was a little unhappy, but because of what Kudo said just now, his attitude changed a little, and he managed to hold back his discomfort without getting angry.

"actually..."

"Conan, where did you go? May I ask... Hey, Shinichi?! Are you Shinichi?" Xiaolan's sudden arrival interrupted Okino's words again.

Okino: Going crazy manually (□′)┻━┻

"Ahem, it's Xiaolan."

"Shinichi, are you really Shinichi?"

"Idiot, of course I am Shinichi, how could you..."

"Ahem, I know you two have a good relationship, but can we talk about flirting later? I'm planning to tell the truth behind this case."

"Ah, I'm sorry, Okino." Xiaolan's face turned red, but she didn't give up the opportunity to be alone with Shinichi. She held Shinichi's arm and refused to let go, making Kudo feel happy and miserable at the same time.

"Ahem, let me make a long story short. You may wish to recall that when a few of us entered this room, there was something that never stopped from the beginning to the end, even until the police came. Here you go.

A little reminder, you were attracted to this thing when you first entered the house."

"Huh? Brother Okino, what are you talking about?" Officer Megure was puzzled, but Kudo and Hattori were lost in thought.

"By the way, it's music! Classical music was playing in this room when we came in!"

"Correct answer. Although I don't understand music, I looked up that piece of music. Its name is very strange and dangerous, but as detectives, I believe you have heard of this name. It is called... black

Friday."

"What, Black Friday!" Hattori's face changed drastically, and the detective's intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with this.

"Black Friday? Is it possible?" Kudo's reaction was not slow. He quickly thought of something and looked at Okino. What can I say about his eyes? There was surprise, admiration, and a bit of annoyance. He was annoyed that he didn't notice this.

Woolen cloth.

"Kudo, did you find anything?"

Kudo did not answer Hattori's question, but stared at Okino with his eyes.

At this time, Okino smiled, but in his heart he greatly admired Kudo's reasoning ability. Unexpectedly, he just mentioned it briefly, and the other party figured it out immediately.

"Yes, I believe Kudo you have also thought of it. I asked Mr. Tatsumura and he said that the deceased had always suffered from heart disease before his death. In addition, because Black Friday was playing in this room, the answer is obvious."

Okino moved his eyes away from Kudo, slowly looked at everyone in the room, and spoke slowly.

"In other words, the deceased may have died of a heart attack before we came in. If this is the case, then Mrs. Tatsumura's crime will obviously...not be established."

"What!" The moment Okino told another truth, everyone's face was filled with surprise, disbelief and other emotions, especially Mrs. Tatsumura herself who was the most surprised, looking at Okino in astonishment.

"Of course, this set of reasoning needs to confirm that the deceased actually died due to a heart attack before being stabbed with the poisonous needle. In other words, a forensic autopsy is required to determine this."

"Okay, I will inform them to conduct a judicial autopsy immediately!" Officer Memu ordered decisively. Rigorous handling of cases is their code of conduct for the police. Since this possibility exists, they must confirm. If it is true, then Mrs. Tatsumura's crime

That would not be true. At most, he would be convicted of a minor crime of disrespecting a corpse, and he would be released in a few days at most.

The two results, one in the sky and one on the ground, are worlds apart. Don’t forget, the person who died this time was a diplomat. If it was really intentional killing, then the public relations aspect would not be easy to handle, but if it was

If a heart attack occurs unexpectedly, it is quite easy to deal with.

After I finished speaking my mind, I didn't do anything else at the scene. Instead, I just looked around boredly. If I found any 'special' items, that would be perfect.

Kudo didn't know why he disappeared, and Xiaolan also disappeared with him. However, when Okino and Hattori were about to leave, they found Xiaolan walking over with the unconscious Conan in her arms, and they suddenly understood

everything.

Hattori also said goodbye. Meeting Kudo this time was considered a complete achievement, but he was very interested in Okino. Although Okino said that he was not a detective, this guy just didn't believe it, and Okino couldn't let him go.

On the contrary, Okino was not very interested when he left. He thought he would find something interesting this time, but in the end it was all in vain. Even when he left, Okino was complaining in his heart.

'You are a diplomat who is so rich, but what kind of things do you collect? You don't even have a magic item. Bad review! You must give a bad review!'

"Uh, I really think...I forgot something."

When they were almost home, Okino was surprised to find that he didn't seem to have bought any rice or noodles, and he didn't even seem to have eaten dinner.

"MoDan, you've lost a lot now! You didn't enjoy the meal, but you lost money on the meal."

In the end, Okino had no choice but to find a random ramen shop and eat a bowl of noodles. He spent a total of five hundred yen, which was a huge loss. This contrast once made Okino plan to increase the price of his dumplings, but when he thought about the empty space

It was a deserted little shop, and such plans were immediately forgotten.

dividing line of time

After the incident with the diplomat, Okino's life once again returned to calm. However, a few days later, a sudden visit from a man shocked Okino.

At noon that day, Okino was open for business as usual. Not long ago, a customer had just been sent away, and not long after, a girl in a red dress came in.

"Welcome light... hmm? You are..."

"First time we meet, my name is Koizumi Hongzi, and I am a magician."

"Koizumi Anko?" A trace of surprise flashed in Okino's eyes. Of course he knew the name Koizumi Anko, the only magician who has ever appeared in the Conan world.

He has been a close friend of Koizumi Anko for a long time. He did not expect that the two parties would meet in this way today. Although he was surprised, he was more curious.

"Hello, my name is Okino Shimizu, and I am a magician."

"Magician?" Koizumi-san is a little confused. She can feel the magic power in Okino's body, but what is a magician? Shouldn't it be a magician?

Okino smiled, stretched out his hand, and motioned for the other party to sit down and talk.

"I know you don't understand. Magicians and sorcerers look similar, but to a certain extent, they are not the same thing."

"Appreciate further details."

"Okay, actually..."

Next, Okino briefly introduced the differences between the two. In the implementation stage, magicians are more powerful than magicians. At least Okino does not know the fireball and waterball techniques.

"I see, I didn't expect that the profession of magician is still spread around the world." Koizumi Hongzi's pretty face was obviously filled with surprise and curiosity. After Okino's explanation, she also remembered some ancient legends.

The profession of magician is even mentioned in his witch inheritance, which is a more magical and longer-lasting profession than magician.

Magician, that can be traced back to the ancient Holy Grail War. However, the Holy Grail War only exists in legends. No one knows whether it really existed.

"I'm also quite surprised, but the inheritance I received must be limited. If I want to cultivate to the highest level, I'm afraid it won't be possible in this life."

Okino is also envious of Coyote's unlimited swordsmanship, which is so handsome. On the other hand, Okino now only has one hand that specializes in curses, and nothing else. It's pitiful.

"By the way, there's something I'm curious about. How did you find me?" Although it was the first time for the two of them to meet, due to their profession, they had a good impression of each other, so their conversation was naturally more casual and relaxed.

"Well, of course I got it from divination."

"Divination?"

As she said that, Koizumi Anko actually reached her right hand under her skirt and took out a crystal ball.

Crystal ball? Crystal ball... A huge crystal ball was taken out from a place like that...

emmmm.... It's easy for people to misunderstand. Okino's face turned red when he saw it. He thought of something strange at first glance. On the other hand, Koizumi Anko's expression remained the same. Judging from her movements, she was quite skilled. It's hard to believe

Isn’t it as high as Koizumi-san’s usual needs???

‘No, no, no, what am I thinking about? It’s so rude!’ Okino shook his head vigorously, took a deep breath, then managed to calm down, and said with a smile.

"I forgot that you are a witch, and divination is your specialty."

Koizumi Hongzi smiled slightly, showing off her royal sister style.

"Okay, I won't be polite anymore. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
