Chapter 837: Heiji Hattori Discovers Conan's Identity!

Shinichi Kudo rubbed his nose. He had thought Ran was angry, so he hadn't paid it much mind. But the case before them was important—he already knew who the killer was.

"I never expected the long-missing Shinichi Kudo to show up today!" Chen said he hadn't expected it, but his eyes showed no ripple at all.

"Inspector Megure, this man isn't the killer," Shinichi Kudo said to Inspector Megure.

Heiji Hattori frowned. After realizing his deduction had failed, he knew there was likely another culprit, though Toshimitsu Tsujimura was still highly suspicious.

"It seems that even though you weren't here, you know everything that happened here quite well," Chen suddenly said.

Shinichi Kudo's body stiffened.

Ran looked at Shinichi Kudo. Right—Shinichi Kudo hadn't been here. How did he seem to know so much? And why had he shown up here?

Chen's words drew everyone's gaze to Shinichi Kudo, their eyes filled with scrutiny—especially Heiji Hattori's.

Could that uncle Kogoro Mouri have told him? Heiji Hattori glanced at Kogoro Mouri.

Before coming here, Heiji Hattori had suspected that Kogoro Mouri's recent rise to fame and his ability to solve so many cases had something to do with Shinichi Kudo.

But when Shinichi Kudo had appeared, Kogoro Mouri had clearly been surprised too!

A detective's most important asset was observation—the ability to spot what others missed. Although Heiji Hattori had focused most of his attention on Shinichi Kudo, he had still noticed Kogoro Mouri's expression.

"Conan told me," Shinichi Kudo said after taking a deep breath, pushing all the blame onto Conan. In any case, Conan was himself.

"Actually, the killer is—"

"I don't think there's any need for deductions. The killer is Kimie Tsujimura, isn't she?" Chen said calmly.

"What? How did you know?" Shinichi Kudo looked at Chen in surprise.
