"Aren't you really coming up to take a look? Little detective?"
"No, no. I believe there's no one upstairs."
Listening to the conversation between Misari Ito and Conan, Hattori Heiji's inner self was almost collapsing. The face that showed no change even when a gun was pointed at his head was now filled with incredulous horror.
"Kudo... What are you doing?!" Hattori Heiji lamented in his heart but dared not make a move.
"Well then, I'll be going, Auntie~" Conan, with a sweet voice, said, "If you really meet my friends, remember to have them contact us quickly."
"Sure, don't worry." Misari Ito's tone became gentle, and she smiled, "If I really meet them, I'll entertain him well for you..."
After a while, when the room fell into silence, Conan, using the voice changer to mimic Misari Ito's voice, said, "One of you, come down to keep an eye on the surroundings. Don't let those people come over again. I want to go up and personally entertain this uncooperative handsome boy..."
The words were malicious, and Hattori Heiji felt a chill in his heart. He seemed to turn into a pale figure.
"It seems that Mrs. Ito is really angry." The man with the headscarf cruelly laughed as he descended the stairs. "But dealing with such an uncooperative brat requires some means..."
*Snap!*
With the ejection of the tranquilizer dart, the man with the headscarf directly slid down the stairs, falling onto the floor of the second floor with a loud "thud."
This time, it wasn't Conan's tranquilizer watch; it was a tranquilizer launcher carried by Senichi. Previously, he suggested having both Haibara and Miyano Akemi armed with tranquilizer darts, and at that time, Senichi had also prepared two for himself, which turned out to be useful now.
"What's wrong with you? Hey! Hey!!" Amidst the loud commotion, Misari Ito's anxious voice reached the attic, "Hey! Come down quickly!! He's fainted!!"
Because both of them were in the dim attic, the downward view through the small door was limited. All the information before was heard, and coupled with the fact that it was indeed Misari Ito's voice, that's why the man with the headscarf fell so easily for it.
Facing Conan's repeated tricks, the long-haired man didn't have time to think much; he just quickly put away his gun and prepared to go downstairs. After all, the recent loud commotion couldn't be fake, and in the critical moment, he didn't even realize that there was something wrong with the previous call.
And a ladder is not a staircase; this type of ladder, which requires the use of both hands and feet, puts a person in a powerless state whether going up or down.
Well, just as the long-haired man descended the stairs and took a few steps, his gaze just saw the scene below when, in the next moment, a large hand like a tiger's clamp directly seized his calf and forcefully pulled him down.
"Bang!"
Completely unprepared, the long-haired man was directly dragged down by Senichi, and he fell to the ground, experiencing a solid faceplant.
However, this sudden attack made the opponent react. The long-haired man, enduring dizziness, immediately tried to get up from the ground, using both hands and feet.
"Bang!"
Just as the long-haired man was about to stand up, Senichi immediately kicked him down again.
Without waiting for the opponent to get up, a pair of large hands directly seized the man's head and fiercely smashed it towards the ground.
This time, the long-haired man was truly powerless to resist and passed out directly.
"What's going on?"
In the attic above, Hattori, hearing the commotion below and realizing there was no one watching them, couldn't help but shout, "Hey, is there someone down there? Come and save us!"
But just as Senichi was about to respond, Conan pulled Senichi aside and made a "silence" gesture.
"What a fool! Slipping down the stairs!" Conan, holding the voice changer and using Misari Ito's voice, continued speaking in a sarcastic tone as he slowly climbed down the stairs.
Seeing Conan's intention, Senichi raised an eyebrow, watching with interest as Conan performed his "act."
"Osakan brat up there, didn't I tell you to understand the situation?" Conan, still climbing the stairs, said in a sinister tone. "It seems you really have a poor memory, unable to recognize your current predicament!"
When he said the last sentence, Conan almost shouted it out, and the sternness in his voice made the two above involuntarily shiver. Then, Senichi heard a commotion and Kazuha's somewhat trembling shout from above.
"Heiji... What should we do... Think of a solution quickly!"
"Close the small door!" Hattori Heiji's urgent words rang out directly. "Hurry, get up, cooperate with me to close the small door of the attic!"
"Hmph! Do these two brats think I'm deaf!!"
Conan's face carried a smile, but his tone was incredibly malicious. "Kid, I've decided to punish you properly. Should I scratch off that handsome little face first, or should I cut off his tongue to teach him what silence means, hehehe~~"
Similar to the mocking words of a malevolent spirit playing with its prey in a horror story, accompanied by deliberately produced footsteps by Conan, before Hattori and Kazuha could react, Conan's malicious laughter became increasingly closer to their ears.
"Prepare to die!!"
With Conan's loud shout, the two couldn't help but tremble. Following Conan's sinister laughter, his smiling face appeared in front of them. "Hi~ How are you guys doing?"
"Conan!?" Just scared out of their wits, when Kazuha saw Conan, she couldn't help but exclaim, "How is it you!?"
In that instant, Kazuha even wondered if she was having an illusion due to excessive fear. Otherwise, why would it be Conan in front of him now, while just a moment ago it was clearly Misari Ito's voice?
On the side, Hattori naturally knew that Conan had a voice changer. Soon he realized that the earlier words were obviously to tease him, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. "You little..."
"Hehe, who told you to tease me last time? This is payback." Conan grinned playfully, causing a vein to pop on Hattori Heiji's forehead.
"Huh? Is it really Conan-kun?" Seeing Conan coming up, Kazuha said in amazement, "So you mean..."
"That's right! The criminals have already been subdued by Detective Senichi!" Conan said with a smile.
"Then just now..." Kazuha was at a loss for words.
"That was Detective Senichi's voice changing!" Conan blamed Senichi with a cute smile. "He said brother Hattori is too impulsive every time he does something, always putting himself and sister Kazuha in danger.
So, after solving the case, he specifically scared you both, hoping that next time brother Hattori could prioritize safety, to avoid putting himself and sister Kazuha in danger again!"
This explanation was so reasonable that looking at Kazuha's trusting expression, Conan felt triumphant.
This is payback for you two teasing me last time!
