So, why did things turn out this way?

Hinata Hajime was sitting on the steps, holding a glass of cold drink in his hand. Every time he took a sip, it made a bubbling sound, which told Hinata Hajime that he didn't have much drink left in his hand. But he had nothing else to do, so he could only squat on the steps and drink the cold drink that was about to run out.

And now, there were three children in front of him. The three children looked at him and then whispered to each other. Although the whisper was too loud, Hinata Hajime had already heard it completely.

"Is he really Conan? But isn't Conan a child?"

"That's the grown-up Conan!"

"Can a person suddenly grow up in a few minutes?"

"But, his voice is similar to Conan!"

Who is Conan? Does his voice sound like someone? Even children misheard it.

If possible, Hinata Hajime really wanted to get up and leave, but the current situation did not allow him to do so, mainly because the owner of the drink shop in the amusement park where he was now was found dead in the shop. As a person who bought drinks from his shop and came here at this time, Hinata Hajime was naturally left behind.

[Are children such brave creatures?] Hinata Hajime asked while drinking his empty drink, [If I remember correctly, they seem to be the ones who found the victim's body. They are children but they are not scared at all. They are still discussing that my voice sounds like someone.]

【They have seen many dead bodies.】

A question mark popped up in Hinata Hajime's mind. He frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with Kamukura Izuru's answer.

This world seems so peaceful that there isn't even any mafia organizations. But there are so many corpses that even children are used to it?

Three days have passed since Hinata Hajime came to this world. During these three days, Hinata Hajime only had time to find out the situation in this world. He was relieved when he was sure that there were no strange abilities or mafia in this world. But now it feels like...are there too many homicides?

He has only been here for three days, and including today's case, he has already encountered two homicides.

[But no matter what, this place is very similar to the real world. We are all ordinary people. I don’t know what form the fragments of despair will take.] Hinata Hajime finally finished his cold drink. He put the empty cup on the ground and prepared to throw it into the trash can after the record was completed.

At this moment, the three children who had been discussing seemed to have finally finished their discussion. They came over shyly and looked at Hinata Hajime with wide eyes.

Looking at them, Hinata Sou spoke, "What do you want?"

"Wow! It really looks like that!" the fat boy at the side exclaimed.

"Right!" The little girl in the middle asked cautiously, with her hands behind her back, "Excuse me, are you the grown-up Conan?"

"No." Hinata Hajime denied, "My name is Hinata Hajime, not Conan."

The little boy next to him looked very proud, "I knew it! How could a child suddenly grow up to be an adult? So Conan must have gone somewhere again and left all of us behind. Maybe this brother is the one Conan left behind to attract our attention!"

The little girl turned around in surprise, "Aren't we fooled now?!"

"Yes!" The chubby little boy nodded vigorously, "We have to find Conan as soon as possible!"

So Hinata Hajime watched the children run away quickly.

【What on earth are they here for? 】

【Make sure you are not the person named Conan. 】

[Only children would think that a person can quickly grow into an adult just because of the sound. ]

Hinata Hajime picked up the drink cup on the ground and threw it into the trash can next to him. At this moment, the police officer in charge of examining the body came out. He was wearing a brown coat and a hat of the same color on his head. He looked a little fat. He straightened the hat with one hand and then looked at Hinata Hajime.

"Sorry for the long wait." Megure Jusan smiled at Hinata Sou, "I am Megure, the police officer in charge of this murder case."

"Hello, my name is Hinata Hajime."

"Huh?" Megure Jusan was stunned for a moment, "Conan's voice?"

Hinata Hajime blinked and silently withdrew his outstretched hand, "What Conan?"

"No, no, no, it's mainly because your voice is a bit like someone I know." Megure Jusan apologized quickly, "Takagi, you take notes for this Mr. Hyuga. Speaking of Conan, where did that kid go? He just ran into the scene and now there's no trace of him."

"Yes." The young police officer called Takagi came over quickly. "Mr. Hinata, please follow me. Don't worry, I'm just taking notes."

[I'm a little interested in what they call Conan now.]

After all, he was mistaken for the wrong person twice. It seemed that the man named Conan was not only related to the child just now, but also knew the detectives in front of him. And from what he said just now, he might be quite familiar with him. Hinata thought that the person who could be so close to the police must be a detective.

Could it be that this person named Conan is a detective working with the police?

The record was taken very quickly and the other party was very professional. In the middle, he asked a series of questions, including the approximate time when he bought the drinks and why he returned. Hinata Hajime answered the questions obediently. Just when Takagi was about to organize the information and give it to Inspector Megure, the chattering sounds of children came from outside the door.

"Conan is so cunning! He actually let a strange brother pretend to be your grown-up brother and mislead us!"

"That's right, Conan, you're going too far!"

"I will never call you to eat eel rice again!"

Hinata Hajime and Officer Takagi exchanged a glance, and Takagi twitched his lips, "It's those little brats again."

He walked over and opened the door, and the next moment, a very familiar voice came from outside the door.

"What do you mean by finding a strange brother to pretend to be my father? I have never done such a thing."

Hinata Hajime almost bit his tongue.

This is so similar.

He finally understood why the three kids mistook him for someone else, and even the policeman called out the wrong name when he heard his voice. If Hinata Hajime hadn't known that it was a coincidence, he would have definitely thought there was something wrong. Their voices sounded like copies and pastes, even the timbre was almost the same.

How could such an outrageous thing happen?

"It's you guys again, don't interfere with our investigation." Officer Gao Mu squatted down and looked at the children, "Where's Xiaolan?"

"Sister Xiaolan is outside." Conan Edogawa replied.

At this moment, Yoshida Ayumi and the other two saw Hinata Hajime sitting next to them. Their eyes lit up and they quickly ran in and grabbed the corner of Hinata Hajime's clothes.

"I got you!"

"Humph! Conan can't resist like this!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya said proudly, "Conan, you let this strange brother confuse us!"

"That's right." Kojima Genta agreed, "Conan is really too cunning!"

Hinata Hajime was helplessly surrounded by several children, "Well, I said, I don't know any Conan, right?"

The moment he heard his own voice, Hinata Hajime clearly saw the fear in the eyes of the child named Conan.

Good thing he wasn't the only one who was frightened.

"Don't bother this gentleman. Although it sounds very similar, it's just a coincidence." Officer Takagi picked up Yoshida Ayumi, "Okay, children, go out and find adults now. After we find the murderer, everyone can go home."

"Conan, don't run around anymore. Xiaolan is worried about you."

"Yes!" Conan answered with a smile, then he glanced at Hinata Hajime with his peripheral vision, but the moment he looked past him, his eyes met his.

Edogawa Conan twitched his lips, then smiled at Hinata Sou like a child.

So, why did things turn out like this?!

Conan Edogawa, whose real name is Kudo Shinichi, is a famous high school detective. He discovered the transaction scene of the men in black, but was attacked by another man in black behind him because he was too focused. He was fed poison and found himself smaller when he woke up again. In desperation, he changed his name to Conan Edogawa and is now staying in Kogoro Mori's house temporarily.

Conan Edogawa, who discovered the corpse with the three kids, was investigating clues as usual. He had found a lot of clues in the previous investigation, but there were still some things that didn't make sense. While thinking, he suddenly remembered that there was a gentleman's transcript that he hadn't read, so while running here, he was caught on the spot by three people from the Boy Detective Team.

But they are saying that they let an adult pretend to be a grown-up to get rid of them?

Huh? That's not scientific at all.

Conan Edogawa didn't take this sentence seriously at first, but now he was dumbfounded.

That person's voice really sounded like his. If he hadn't noticed any traces of voice changer on Hinata Hajime, he would have suspected that his parents were wearing voice changers and pretending to be funny to him!

"Who is that brother?" Conan pretended to be a child and grabbed the corner of Officer Takagi's clothes. "His voice is similar to mine."

"It seems like a tourist from out of town." Takagi Wataru thought about the information he had obtained before, "He should be a young person who came to Tokyo to develop his career. He saw the job posting and came here. He got lost after entering. After buying a drink, he wandered around and came back again. He happened to see you and the body."

"As for the voice, it must be a coincidence. After all, there are many people in this world with similar voices."

Edogawa Conan sighed.

I hope that's the case.

On the other side, Hinata Hajime was sitting on a chair and making fun of Kamijou Izuru.

[Are there really two people in the world with exactly the same voice? ]

[According to probability, this is something that will happen. For example, if you have twins, their voices will be the same.]

[But I can't be a twin of a child.] Hinata Hajime said helplessly, [Please forgive me. I have only been in this world for three days and I have encountered two murders. I also found that I bumped into a child. And if murders happen so frequently in this world, how can we successfully find the despair case from this large number of murders.]

Kamiya's voice remained calm, [calm. 】

[Is this the time to calm down? ]

[You are too anxious.] Kamiya Chuchu looked outside through Hinata Hajime's line of sight, [Putting too much pressure on yourself makes it harder to distinguish between normal events and desperate events, Hajime, you have to learn to relax.]

Hinata Hajime lowered his head, "But, many things can't be done just by saying it."

[Then use your talent.] Kamiya released the power of the body, [Under the effect of your talent, your feelings will be suppressed and your emotions will be reduced.]

Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he smiled helplessly.

【good.】

Maybe that's how it is between them.

When Kamizaru Izuru was in charge, Hinata Sou provided him with emotions; when Hinata Sou was in charge, Kamizaru Izuru helped him regain his sanity.

Hinata Hajime stood up and looked out the window, his left eye slowly turning red.

…

Hinata Hajime sat on the chair waiting for the matter to be over. To be honest, Hinata Hajime was really in trouble this time. He just walked here casually and didn't expect to encounter the death of his boss. At most, he could only provide some clues, and no one would doubt him.

Just then, Officer Takagi ran over and knocked on the door.

"Mr. Hinata?"

"Yes." Hinata Sou stood up, "Is it over?"

"No, no, no, I came here to invite Mr. Hinata to the drink shop." Officer Takagi said, "Do you know the sleeping Kogoro? Mr. Maori already knows who the murderer is and how the murderer killed people, but Mr. Maori said to invite everyone to go."

Hinata Sou nodded, "That's great."

"Mr. Maori is really amazing."

Hinata Hajime followed Officer Takagi into the dessert shop, only then he realized that there were quite a few people inside, and most of them were the staff who had worked there when he came to buy drinks before. He immediately realized that he was being singled out as an unexpected person to be questioned, and Hinata Hajime randomly found a seat far away from the people around him and sat down.

But, the sleeping Kogoro?

Hinata Hajime looked around and saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair with his head down.

Hinata Hajime:?

[Is this the sleeping Kogoro? He's obviously asleep, isn't he?] Hinata Hajime looked at the sleeping middle-aged man, [I remember the legend of the sleeping Kogoro. It's said that he would suddenly solve a puzzle and then fall into a deep sleep. I don't quite understand why he wouldn't be discovered, but... is it the anesthetic?]

[Anesthetics are strictly controlled.]

[So, the person who did this actually has quite a lot of connections.]

Just when Hinata Hajime was thinking deeply, Mouri Kogoro's voice rang out. Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, his ears were identifying the sounds around him, and finally his eyes fixed on the back of the sofa where Mouri Kogoro was sitting. The sound didn't seem to come from Mouri Kogoro, but rather seemed to come from behind him.

In confusion, Hinata Hajime listened to Maori Kogoro's reasoning and was asked several questions, including but not limited to when he arrived at the drink shop and the scene inside the store at that time.

In the end, Kogoro Mori confirmed in front of everyone that it was the store owner's wife who committed the murder. Faced with conclusive evidence, the store owner's wife coldly admitted that she had suffered domestic violence for many years, and had to work hard to earn money to support her family and take care of the bad mother of this guy. She had long been unable to bear it, so she planned the murder.

She didn't regret doing it, she just regretted not doing it sooner.

Hinata Hajime watched the police take the shop owner's wife into custody. He stood up and walked in front of Mouri Kogoro. Just as he thought, Mouri Kogoro didn't care at all.

Just as Hinata Hajime was about to pat Maori Kogoro on the shoulder, a little boy suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Hinata Sou turned his head to look to the side, and Edogawa Conan smiled and said innocently in his own voice, "Hinata brother, what are you doing?"

Hinata Hajime: ...

However, hearing his own voice sounding coquettish really gave him goosebumps.

"No, I'm just curious about the sleeping detective." Hinata Hajime replied with a smile: "After all, human sleep is a relatively stable state. No one will say anything in deep sleep, unless it is sleep talking. I feel that Mr. Maori is a bit unscientific."

Conan Edogawa said that being questioned by his own voice really gave him a headache.

"It's just because Uncle Mori was a little tired, so he fell asleep after reasoning!" Conan Edogawa replied.

Hinata Hajime looked at him, and after a moment he moved his eyes down and saw the watch on Edogawa Conan's wrist.

The next moment, a very realistic internal anatomical diagram appeared in Hinata Sou's mind, and his analytical ability even directly simulated the arc emitted by the anesthetic needle in the watch.

Edogawa Conan quickly withdrew his hand, "Hinata brother, do you like my watch?"

"Yeah." Hinata Sou stood up and nodded seriously, "Your watch is very practical."

Edogawa Conan: ...

He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that he was completely seen through by the man in front of him. What was wrong with this man? He also noticed that when he announced the crime method before, this man was not surprised at all, as if he knew from the beginning that the store manager was killed in this way.

Even when I asked him about his experience, he was able to answer directly without even asking.

Besides the fact that he has an empty mind and doesn't want to think about anything, could this person also be a detective? If that's the case, then it's troublesome.

as well as……

"Brother Hinata?" Edogawa Conan looked into Hinata Hajime's eyes, "Were your eyes green before? Why has one eye turned red now?"

"Because I'm sick, my eyes will change color when the pressure increases." Hinata Hajime answered very seriously, as if he was seriously teaching medical science to a child.

Conan Edogawa twitched his lips. How come he didn't know that there was some disease that could cause the eyes to change color, or such an exaggerated change from green to red? So this person's colored contact lens must have lost a piece.

"Eh? Brother Maori fell asleep again?" After Officer Megure finished escorting the criminal, he patted Maori Kogoro. Because of the strength, Maori Kogoro's body tilted a little, and then leaned back on the chair and fell asleep. Officer Megure looked at him helplessly, "Really, I have to wait for him to wake up again."

Conan Edogawa noticed that after seeing Kogoro Mori fall asleep, Hinata Hajime looked like he was thinking about something.

"Brother Hinata." Edogawa Conan pulled the corner of Hinata Hajime's clothes, "What are you thinking about?"

"Well, I was thinking about something that is not scientific." Hinata Hajime blinked, "For example, can a child really be gifted enough to become a super famous detective?"

"Of course it's possible!" Edogawa Conan raised his hand, "I joined the Junior Detective Team, and so far I have solved many cases with my companions, and we are very famous!"

Hinata Hajime nodded and smiled, "That's amazing."

Inspector Megure looked at them, and after a moment he helplessly fanned himself with the documents in his hand.

"Really, when I hear you guys talking, I always feel like Conan is just playing house and talking to himself."

Hinata Hajime: ...

Edogawa Conan: ...
