Ikenami Shizuka?
No, it should be Hattori Shizuka!!
Dark-skinned Heiji's mother!
Looking at the short-haired woman in front of him, Tang Ze gradually matched her with the two-dimensional image in his mind.
Because this person appeared too few times and in the earliest episodes, and it was just a prelude to the Mermaid Island case, and there was no "childhood shadow" to deepen the memory, Tang Ze really didn't think of this case for a while.
However, if we only talk about Hattori Shizuka, Tang Ze still has a deep impression of her. After all, the scene where she folded her fan and snatched the blade was still very amazing.
In other words, apart from the beginning and the ending where Shizuka Hattori snatches the sword with a folding fan, the middle part of the case...
Emm… Tang Ze basically can’t remember the specific details of the case, but he knows the general plot flow.
And since the other party has appeared, it means that the case may have already happened...
Damn it, it seemed like the person was already beyond saving when Kogoro Mori and the others arrived.
Tang Ze felt a little depressed when he thought about this. If this case happened, he would be doomed to not get the reward for stopping the case.
"Sir...is there something on my face?"
Just as Tang Ze's face changed, Hattori Shizuka, who noticed Tang Ze's series of changes in expression, asked with some confusion.
"Oh, excuse me for not introducing myself. I'm Genichi Karasawa, and I'm visiting Detective Mori's house today."
Tang Ze suddenly came to his senses when he heard what Hattori Shizuka said. He realized that his gaze was a bit rude, and quickly pulled out the only useful information in his memory and said, "It just suddenly occurred to me that there might be a way to find Mr. Shibata."
"Are you Detective Tang Ze?" Hattori Shizuka was surprised to hear Tang Ze's introduction. "I didn't expect to see you here. What an honor."
"You're so polite." Seeing Hattori Shizuka bow slightly, Tang Ze quickly returned the gesture.
"Then, I wonder what Mr. Tang Ze's solution is?" Hattori Shizuka looked at Tang Ze with anticipation and asked.
"Well, Mr. Shibata must be very talented in kendo. He won an award when he was only in the second grade of junior high school."
Tang Ze pointed at the boy holding the trophy in the photo and said, "If that's the case, maybe he's still participating in some kendo competitions now.
Of course, this uncertainty is too great, and I can’t guarantee it.”
"No, even if that's the case, it's indeed the most likely path given the lack of clues." Maori Kogoro said excitedly, "I'll call and ask right now."
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on Kogoro Mouri who was making a phone call to inquire, Tang Ze couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, the change in her expression was seen by Hattori Shizuka. Fortunately, she remembered how Conan found the clue at the beginning, and used this excuse to successfully get away with it.
His acting skills are still not good enough. He needs to manage his facial expressions well in the future and try to avoid such things from happening.
Just as Karasawa secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to reflect on himself, Kogoro Mori mobilized his connections and finally succeeded in finding out the other party's whereabouts.
Mr. Shibata is currently a physical education teacher at a high school in Shizuoka, and he and his wife currently live in an apartment.
Because Mr. Shibata has never given up kendo over the years and has participated in the Shizuoka Tournament with very good results, Kogoro Mori successfully got his address.
Since the location was Shizuoka, Karasawa's newly purchased GT-R (R32) came in handy, and the experienced driver drove a few people to the destination.
Everything went smoothly on the journey. Except for Kogoro Mori who was full of envy, everyone arrived in Shizuoka without encountering any problems.
Tang Ze also had a great time driving for the first time after buying the car, and he really enjoyed it.
When he arrived at Mr. Shibata's house and saw the surname written on the name card (Note 1), Kogoro Mori, convinced that he had come to the right place, rang the doorbell.
“Ding Dong!”
“Ding Dong!”
After the doorbell rang several times in succession, there was still no movement or response from inside the house.
"It seems like he's not at home..." Kogoro Mouri said as he rang the doorbell.
"Today is a day off, so the couple probably went out together." Xiaolan guessed
"There's nothing we can do. It seems we can only come back next time." Kogoro Mouri smiled and comforted everyone who was about to leave.
"Wait a minute... Are you... looking for Mr. Shibata?"
Just then, a middle-aged man with severe hair loss and a mustache called out to a few people.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" asked Kogoro Mouri.
"Then please hurry up. I have invited him to my house to play mahjong later. It will be a headache if there are not enough people." The man with hair loss walked past a few people, came to the doorbell and started pressing it continuously.
"He's probably not at home. I've just pressed the doorbell many times." Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but speak when he saw the other party ringing the doorbell non-stop.
"That's impossible. Shibata wouldn't go out. He's probably sleeping." The man with hair loss said as he tentatively pulled the door handle.
“Click.”
The door was opened casually by the other party, and the sound of the TV in the room came into everyone's ears.
"I told you I wouldn't go out. Look, the door is not locked." The man with hair loss smiled at everyone, then took off his shoes and walked into the house familiarly.
Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri and others took off their shoes and entered the room.
As soon as he walked into the living room, Maori Kogoro was attracted by the half-eaten meal on the dining table: "Is this breakfast? Why is it half-eaten?"
"The miso soup has gotten cold..." Xiaolan said, touching the bowl.
"It's a pity about this fish head. The cooking is very good and it should be delicious." Ikeba Jinghua also said with regret.
"Flat fish head?" Xiaolan asked curiously, "What kind of fish is that?"
"It's the sweet sea bream!" Ikenami Shizuka explained with a smile.
"Going to the bedroom to sleep with the door and TV open is really a big deal."
The middle-aged bald man next to him glanced at the living room and found that only the TV was on, but there was no sign of Shibata. He couldn't help but mutter.
"Hey, Shibata-san, are you still sleeping? We're almost ready to start."
The middle-aged man shouted again, and when no one responded, he walked towards the bedroom.
At this time, Tang Ze quickened his pace, walked straight past the middle-aged man, and headed towards the bedroom.
As soon as he entered the room, he activated his super sense of smell and smelled the bloody smell in the air.
When he locked onto the room where the smell of blood came from and opened the door.
The deceased was lying on the ground with blood all over his head, and he came into Tang Ze's sight.
"As expected, another person died."
Tang Ze shrugged his eyes, his heart calm, and said, "As expected, fate is fickle, and only the laws of the dead always prevail over the rules."
