Chapter 53 Opening - Throne of God



"So, Kudo, you met someone with the exact same voice as yours?" Haibara Ai sat on a chair and looked at Conan Edogawa who was sitting weakly on the chair opposite him.

"Yes." Edogawa Conan sighed, "If I didn't know that no one would have the time to imitate a child's voice, I really think that guy had ulterior motives."

Huihara Ai looked at him, "So you have other intentions?"

"It should be just an ordinary coincidence." Edogawa Conan looked at Dr. Agasa who was sitting next to him drinking tea, "Doctor, what do you think? How high is the probability of meeting someone with the same voice as you?"

"Ask me?" Dr. Agasa thought for a moment, "Although it seems strange, it is not impossible. After all, there is a chance of having the same face as someone in this world, not to mention the same voice as someone else."

Conan Edogawa nodded, "I don't really mind the collision of voices, but that person named Hinata looks a little strange."

"How strange?"

"It's like, with just one glance, he can discover many hidden secrets." Edogawa Conan frowned, "There are many things locked in his sight."

Conan Edogawa had this feeling when he was in the drink shop. Although he was hiding behind the sofa, he was still able to see his surroundings. He was explaining the case while trying to determine the reactions of the people around him, and then he saw Hinata Hajime, who was wearing heterochromatic eyes and his expression did not change at all.

His eyes were always moving around, and would briefly stop at some places, such as the eyes of a murderer, some clues, the neck of Mouri Kogoro, and behind the sofa where Mouri Kogoro was sitting. When Edogawa Conan looked out, he almost made eye contact with Hinata Hajime.

In the end, he really became suspicious of the sleeping Kogoro and tried to contact Mouri Kogoro. If Conan hadn't stopped him quickly, he would have had to look at the back of Mouri Kogoro's neck.

It was obvious that the guy was eyeing this place.

"You're talking about supernatural things." Dr. Agasa took a sip of tea slowly. "But I do know some people who can be considered natural detectives. With just one glance, countless details will enter their eyes and combine them into a whole event in their minds. But I have never seen such people."

Edogawa Conan stood up by stepping on the support of the chair, "Habara, do you have time? Help me check him out."

"I can't do it." Huihara Ai answered uninterested.

"Oh? Can't you do it?"

"Kudo, don't think that information collection is too simple. There are thousands of ordinary people in this world, and no one cares about the lives of ordinary people, let alone deliberately collecting information about every ordinary person." Huihara Ai said calmly, "A foreigner who came from nowhere, who is so ordinary that he doesn't even have a job, where do you want me to investigate?"

Edogawa Conan sat back helplessly, "...That's true."

He glanced at the time and found that it was already six o'clock in the evening. If it was any later, Xiaolan would probably be worried. Thinking of this, Conan jumped off the chair.

"Then I'll go back first and check on that person when I have time."

"Be careful on your way." Dr. Agasa sent Conan out and watched him leave on his skateboard.

Ai Huihara stood beside him and looked at his back. "If that person is really as sensitive as Kudo said, I just hope he leaves here as soon as possible. If he continues to contact Kudo, that person will probably find out his identity soon. After all, Kudo's tricks can only fool ordinary people."

"Shinichi is not a kid who would lie." Dr. Agasa laughed, "Let him handle it himself."

On the other side, Conan Edogawa was riding a skateboard towards the Mori Detective Agency office. The surrounding street lights were all on and there were quite a few cars. Conan stopped his skateboard, held the skateboard in his arms and ran forward. Just when he passed the cafe downstairs, Conan Edogawa stopped.

Because right at the entrance of the cafe, a familiar person was sitting on the steps looking at the straw cake in his hand.

"Hinata-nii?!"

"Hmm?" Kamukura Izuru raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Edogawa Conan, "Your name is... Conan."

Conan Edogawa twitched his lips. No way, such a memorable thing as bumping into someone's voice, he actually hesitated even when calling his own name?

"Hinata brother, don't you remember my name?" Edogawa Conan asked naively.

Kamukura Izuru looked at him and answered, "It's my habit to clear irrelevant information on a regular basis."

Analytical ability is to present countless information and the future in his mind. He can easily see countless possibilities. The exploding amount of information accumulated in the brain is obviously not a good thing. Kamiya Izuru often arbitrarily divides information into useful and useless.

Useless ones will be deleted directly.

Edogawa Conan: ...

So is he useless information? Also, is this person different from before? He speaks much colder, and his eyes are completely red.

That is to say, you must have worn colored contact lenses before.

"Why is Hinata-nii-san here? Are you here for coffee?"

"I live here." Kamukura Izuru pointed across the street. "I signed a contract with the landlord one hour and thirty-two minutes ago."

What? Doesn't that mean he might have to get in close contact with this person at some point? As a neighbor, it's almost impossible to avoid him.

"Then we are neighbors, that's great!" Edogawa Conan cheered unwillingly, "Well, I'm going home now, goodbye, Brother Hinata!"

Kamukura Izuru looked at Edogawa Conan, his red eyes without the slightest wavering.

Just as Edogawa Conan took a step forward, Kamukura Izuru said expressionlessly: "Are you really a child?"

Edogawa Conan's body froze.

"Your behavior is totally unlike that of a child. Children's development makes them very different from adults in terms of intelligence and coordination at a young age. This difference cannot be faked by ordinary disguises. Although you are trying hard to adapt, your body's inertia cannot be changed."

Kamukura Izuru took a slow bite of the straw cake and said, "Based on your walking posture and your habitual movements, you were over 1.7 meters tall, a high school student."

Edogawa Conan: ...

He slowly turned his head and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Haha, Hinata brother, your joke is really funny."

Kamiya Izuru looked at him calmly, as if he didn't think he had said anything terrible.

"How is it possible in this world that someone could become smaller? This is not scientific at all!" Conan Edogawa tried to save the situation.

Kamukura Izuru ate the straw cake and replied expressionlessly, "Oh."

This was the first time that Conan Edogawa's mind went blank. To be honest, he didn't know what to say except to deny it in various ways. No, it should be said that he had never expected such a thing to happen. He had imagined the possibility of his identity being exposed countless times, but he had never thought that he would be exposed like this.

Is it possible for a human being to judge that a person is not a child, and even judge how tall he was before, and even his approximate age, based solely on a series of small details such as his behavior patterns, postures, and inertia?

Absolutely not!

"Hahaha, then I'm leaving. See you later, Mr. Hinata."

Kamuzuru Izuru watched him calmly as he walked into the corridor, and then he lowered his head.

[Not tasty.] Kamuzou said: [The red bean filling is not fresh.]

[Then let's go to another store to buy it later.] Hinata Hajime sat on the ground in the same position as him, [But is that Conan really not a child? I rarely use my analytical ability. The last time I used it was just because I felt that some of Conan's actions were a bit inconsistent with the identity of a child.]

[Yes.] Kamukura Izuru sat there and looked up at the sky. [Go investigate the missing high school boys nearby, and you will know his identity.]

[No need for that. I have no interest in a person's secrets.] Hinata Hajime replied: [Do you still want to eat? I see there seem to be quite a few snack bars around here. Do you want to try one?]

[I have some ability as a chef.]

【You won’t do it for yourself. 】

[Let's do it.] Kamuzuru Izuru stood up and [buyed some food.]

Hinata Sokaka, [Hey, is this true? Izuku, are you really going to the kitchen?]

Of course, Edogawa Conan had no idea what Kamukura Izuru had decided. He stood in the corridor and felt a cold sweat on his back. Just as he was about to move forward, he saw Mouri Ran standing at the entrance of the corridor looking at him.

"Conan?" Mao Lilan came over, "Why did you come back just now? I was just about to call Dr. Agasa to ask when you would be back."

"No, I just met a friend and chatted with him for a while. I will never do that again next time!"

Mao Lilan nodded, "So that's how it is. I seemed to have heard your conversation with someone just now."

What?

Edogawa Conan broke out in cold sweat on his back again.

Ran heard it? Ran was here when he was talking to Hyuga Sou? How much did Ran hear? Could she have heard when Hyuga Sou said he didn't look like a child or even said his height was his age? What would Ran think? !

Damn it, he hid his identity to protect everyone's safety. If it were to be revealed now...

"Conan, what are you talking about?" Mao Lilan asked in confusion, "Is your friend mature? You said he doesn't act like a child."

Edogawa Conan: ...

"Ahahaha, that's because he's a big brother, so I said that!" Edogawa Conan smiled and touched the back of his head, "He's already gone home, Xiaolan-sister, let's go back too!"

Mao Lilan looked at him strangely, and finally she sighed, "Okay, let's go, Dad has been waiting for dinner."

As he was led upstairs by Mao Li Ran, Edogawa Conan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the sound is still a bit good.

Kamukura Izuru made a plate of straw cakes, which could not be finished even if they were kept at home for three days. Hinata Sou looked at the straw cakes on the table helplessly.

[Is it too much? ]

[No.] Kamukura Izuru answered, [You can give it as a gift to the neighbors.]

[You mean the Mori Detective Agency?] Hinata Hajime looked across. The lights of the Mori Detective Agency were still on. In the open window, he could see a middle-aged man drinking beer and watching TV. He looked unkempt, and his daughter was busy at home.

【There is also a cafe downstairs. 】

Hinata Hajime walked to the window and looked downstairs. The sign of Polo Cafe was also lit.

【police.】

Hinata Hajime fell into deep thought. After a while, he left the window and sat on the bed. [So we are now in a triangle relationship between a detective, a policeman, and a criminal?]

[It is just to facilitate the collection of information and the identification of criminal cases. ]

【You are right.】

Hinata Hajime looked for the packaging box and glanced at the time. It was just past eight o'clock in the evening and it was not time to go to bed yet, so he packed up the straw cakes and went downstairs. It seemed strange to deliver straw cakes to the cafe, so Hinata Hajime chose to go to the Mori Detective Agency first.

After ringing the doorbell, Hinata Hajime waited for the person inside to open the door.

"I'm here." The girl's voice was very clear, and soon, Hinata Hajime heard the door open with a click, "Hello, sir?"

"Hello." Hinata Hajime said with a smile, "I'm Hinata Hajime who just moved in from across the street. I came to say hello."

Hinata Sou handed the gift over and said, "This is a little dessert I made myself. I hope you like it."

"Huh?" Mao Lilan blinked, "Yes, thank you, but..."

"but?"

"Sound." Mao Lilan murmured, and then she reacted instantly and smiled apologetically at Hinata Hajime, "Sorry, sorry, please ignore what I just said. Do you want to come in and sit down? Dad is inside."

Just as Mao Lilan was greeting Hinata Hajime, Edogawa Conan finally sensed something was wrong. He hurried over and saw the person who made his eyes go dark.

Damn it! How could he have forgotten that people who move into a new home usually give gifts to their neighbors!

"Ah, it's Brother Hinata!" Edogawa Conan passed by Xiaolan, "Good evening, Brother Hinata!"

"Good evening, Conan." Hinata Hajime put the straw cake in Edogawa Conan's arms, "This is a gift. I won't go in and sit. It's late now. I want to tidy up the house and go to bed early. The kitchen is still a mess."

"goodbye."

Watching Hinata Hajime leave, Edogawa Conan tilted his head and looked at his back. There was only one thought in his mind:

What on earth is this guy doing here?

"Conan, that person's voice is the same as yours!" Mao Lilan looked at Conan in surprise, "It's amazing, I thought it was Conan who was talking at first, and I was dazed for a while, and then I realized it was not Conan, but the gentleman in front of me who was talking."

Conan Edogawa twitched his lips, "It must be a coincidence, and besides, Hinata brother's voice is much more mature than mine!"

"That's true. You can tell he's an adult just by the way he speaks." Mao Lilan closed the door.

Maori Kogoro was still watching his favorite idol show, and Edogawa Conan sat on the sofa, thinking about the intention of Hinata Hajime coming here. How could such a person with such strong observation suddenly appear? If he had such observation, how could he be unknown?

Or is he hiding his identity?

Ran Maori frowned while thinking about Edogawa Conan. When she saw the frowning child, she took out a straw cake from the gift that Hinata Hajime had just brought and handed it to Conan.

"Want to eat?"

"Hey? Thank you, Sister Xiaolan." Edogawa Conan took it with a smile. He looked at the grass cake in his hand, then took a careful bite, and then he widened his eyes slightly.

"tasty."

It was extremely delicious, and completely on a different level from any snack he had ever had.

"It looks like Mr. Hinata made it himself." Mao Lilan put the remaining straw cakes on a plate. "Is Mr. Hinata a pastry chef?"

No, he is not a pastry chef.

Conan Edogawa thought: Judging from that guy's observation ability, he is more like a highly skilled detective.
