Chapter 273 “Tea Master” Mao Lilan
Yuan Shan and Ye have been very annoyed recently.
She is Hattori Heiji's childhood sweetheart.
The two of them have known each other since childhood and have known each other for more than ten years. Their relationship is so good that their parents know that they are a couple.
But they happened to learn the bad habits of Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan. They clearly had a crush on each other but did not dare to say it. They maintained a "pure friendship" for more than ten years.
That's okay.
Anyway, as long as the relationship between the two is stable, even if the relationship is confirmed later, the duck will not be able to fly.
But just like Conan met Lin Xinyi Yuanshan and Miss Ye, he also recently encountered a very terrifying "love rival":
"Maolilan"
At this moment, Yuan Shan and Ye Zheng were sneaking around in the corner of the snack bar.
She carefully hid her striking and delicate face under the brim of her hat, quietly sizing up her enemy:
The "beautiful girl forensic doctor" from Tokyo is the one Hattori Heiji never forgets to talk to on the phone every day.
"Is this the Miss Mori that Heiji talks about every day?"
"This clay stick cat."
He and Miss Ye carefully looked at this opponent's face:
"Damn, she looks really good!!"
She snorted in a low voice, unconvinced, but the sense of crisis in her heart became even heavier:
After returning from Tokyo last week, Hattori Heiji had a woman named Maori Ran in his life.
He would always mention with emotion the gentleness and wisdom of the Maori lady, as well as her influence on his detective concept - it seemed like he would never forget it.
"Heiji never calls me every day."
"But that woman makes him care so much."
Toyama and Ye completely forgot that they and Hattori Heiji saw each other every day and there was no need to call at all.
Hattori Heiji not only kept calling the Maori girl, he even took advantage of the opportunity when the Osaka Prefectural Police asked Lin Shinichi to assist in handling the case, and made an appointment with her to Osaka.
"Bad intentions!"
Yuan Shan and Miss Ye were biting their fingernails in embarrassment in the corner.
She still tried hard to keep a low profile and carefully observed the movements of Hattori Heiji and Maori Ran.
The two of them were chatting happily, completely unaware that they were being watched.
For the sake of caution, Yuan Shan and Ye sat far away, and could not hear clearly what their childhood sweetheart was talking to Mao Lilan.
In short, judging from expressions, movements, and atmosphere
Hattori Heiji was very enthusiastic and proactive, and Mao Lilan always responded with a smile.
"calm down."
Ms. He comforted herself in her heart:
"Heiji is always a warm and hospitable guy."
"Even if ordinary friends come from out of town, he will entertain them so warmly."
That's what she was thinking
I saw that the two people in front of the counter were talking about something, and Hattori Heiji actually took the initiative to spread his palm and handed it to the Moori lady.
The Mori lady looked at Hattori Heiji's palm seriously, and from time to time, she pointed and said something.
"This is..." Yuan Shan and Ye's hearts sank.
She recognized the trick this high school girl used to seduce men:
"Palm reading?"
"As long as you learn a few metaphysical terms about career lines and love lines, you can use palm reading as an excuse to have close physical contact with the person you like."
"Then use this kind of subtle physical contact to test the other party's psychological acceptance of you, so as to achieve the evil purpose of grasping the distance between men and women and shortening the relationship between men and women."
"Damn it. This woman."
"You shamelessly used this move on Heiji!"
She had known this trick for a long time, but she was too thin-skinned to use it on her childhood sweetheart.
But now, Hattori Heiji was generously letting that beautiful girl from Tokyo read his palm.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shan and Ye couldn't help but feel sad.
And at the same time.
In her angry eyes.
In front of the counter, Mao Lilan was pointing at Hattori Heiji's palm prints and said to him:
"Look, Mr. Hattori"
"The mastoid line on the lateral side of the palm begins to increase rapidly from the center of the palm, and the lines are diffuse and flow obliquely to the outer edge."
"So in the impression, the mastoid lines spreading to the left side are left on the left hand."
“What flows to the right side is what remains in the right hand.”
Mao Lilan explained seriously:
"Based on this principle, we only need the incomplete palm prints to determine whether the palm prints left by the murderer at the scene belong to the left hand or the right hand."
"This is very helpful in determining the murderer's handedness and reconstructing the incident."
"I see."
Hattori Heiji nodded, showing an open-minded attitude:
"Miss Maori, you know so much!"
"No." Mao Lilan smiled modestly: "I just read these from the book, and I don't know it myself."
"Yes." A child's voice full of melancholy sounded faintly: "Isn't it all in the book?"
"Big Brother Hattori"
Conan raised his head hard and looked at Hattori Heiji, gritted his teeth and said:
"Can't you just buy a book and go back and study it yourself?"
"Is it more efficient to study reasoning with beautiful girls?"
"Um" Hattori Heiji was speechless for a while.
In fact, he had long felt the hostility of this Conan kid, but he still didn't understand where the hostility came from.
"Conan!"
Mao Lilan pulled Conan back with some complaints:
"What are you talking about?"
“I can also learn a lot from Mr. Hattori through this face-to-face discussion!”
She was obviously just talking about criminal investigation reasoning with Hattori Heiji, and she did it all in front of Conan without hiding anything.
But this guy still keeps making trouble there.
Just like guarding against a thief, he guarded her as his girlfriend.
Thinking of this, Miss Maori couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
But, then I thought about it.
Thinking of the reasoning madman who used to be indifferent to him, he turned into the jealous person he is now because of her.
Mao Lilan couldn't help but smile again.
There was a hint of happiness in that smile:
"It's true, Conan. Stop thinking so wildly."
"Am I not always by your side?"
She touched Conan's big head tenderly and whispered in his ear.
Detective Conan suddenly blushed:
"S-Sister Xiaolan, I'm sorry."
For a moment, the picture suddenly changed to "sisters, friends, brothers, respectful", "mother is kind and son is filial".
The atmosphere was much warmer.
"This woman"
Yuan Shan and Miss Ye in the corner silently cut off the chopsticks in their hands:
"This woman actually used children as props to show her gentle and kind motherhood through her intimate interaction with children."
"That guy Heiji really likes children. This completely hits his weakness!"
"Damn it, this Mao Lilan."
"On the surface, he looks innocent and innocent, but in private his moves are so precise and vicious!"
"This woman is simply the nemesis of men. Which boy can resist such a silent emotional offensive?!"
After some observation, the once innocent and naive Toyama Kazuha has completely surrendered to the terrifyingly skilled "tea art" displayed by his opponent.
"Why are you so skilled?!"
Roaring helplessly in the corner with Miss Ye
And she soon discovered nervously that the "tea master" Mao Lilan seemed to have made a new move:
I couldn't hear what she was talking to Hattori Heiji.
In short, I saw Mao Lilan pick up a hard-boiled egg, let go of it about a few centimeters above the table, and let it hit the hard tabletop.
The egg collided with the table and cracked.
Mao Lilan handed the egg to Hattori Heiji.
Then, she took out another hard-boiled egg and flicked it lightly with her fingers.
After cracks popped up on the bullet case, Mao Lilan repeated his old trick and handed the second hard-boiled egg to Hattori Heiji.
"this"
Yuan Shan and Ye were completely dumbfounded:
"She even wants Heiji to help her peel off eggshells?"
"Asshole. Doesn't she have hands herself?!"
"No"
Chanchang and Miss Ye finally reacted:
"Routines, they are all routines!"
"I took two eggs because I wanted to eat one myself and let Heiji eat one——"
"She is subtly planting the idea in Heiji's mind that she and him will become a couple."
"And what's even scarier is..."
"That woman even handed Heiji an unpeeled egg on purpose!"
"She must be using this to test Heiji's 'loyalty' to her and see if he can accept it naturally. This kind of coquettishness can be called 'disgusting and artificial'."
"If Heiji is willing to help her peel the eggshell, it means that he..."
"He has unknowingly become the prisoner of that woman!"
Yuan Shan and Ye's hearts were filled with anger.
She was too pure before and would never use these crooked ways.
Now faced with that Tokyo girl's shameless "tea art", she was shocked to realize that she seemed to have no power to fight back.
"Heiji, hold on, don't fall for it."
"Never help her peel eggs!!"
Yuan Shan and Ye bit their lips, nervously looking forward to the next performance of their childhood sweetheart.
And at the same time.
Under the nervous gaze of Ms. Ye, Hattori Heiji was observing the two eggs in his hand while listening carefully to Mao Lilan's explanation:
"Mr. Hattori, look"
"Mr. Lin taught me that we can use eggs to simulate the difference in damage to the human skull when it encounters falls and blows."
"Falled from a height of about 5 centimeters, the contact surface of the eggshell broke into a elliptical shape, with larger fragments and a longer extension line around the rupture in a radial shape."
"As for the egg that I cracked with my fingers, the damaged area of the eggshell was limited, the depression was obvious, and there were obvious small cracks on the edge. The extension line of the damage was consistent with the direction of the force."
Mao Lilan paused slightly and concluded with a smile:
"Therefore, we can roughly judge whether the victim was injured by a fall or by an external blunt force blow based on the injury pattern of the deceased's skull."
"This can help us determine whether a case is a homicide or an accident."
"I see."
Hattori Heiji nodded in submission.
He couldn't help but marvel at this criminal investigation concept that he had never really come into contact with:
"Verify knowledge through scientific experiments, and then apply the knowledge to criminal investigation practice."
"This is what forensic scientists do, right?"
Hattori Heiji's voice was filled with admiration.
And while he was talking, he put the two eggs used as teaching aids in his hands and peeled them off——
Anyway, the experiment is done. It would be a waste if we don’t peel the eggs and eat them.
The eggshell was gradually peeled off like this.
In the corner, Miss Heye collapsed silently:
"Ruined"
"Heiji, he has been completely tamed by that woman!"
