It wasn’t really Shinichi and the victim didn’t die, but Heiji’s first instinct at seeing Shinichi covered in blood, knife in hand, is “Figure out what to tell the police, I’m going to go hide Kudo!”
(Okay, to be fair, his actual first thought was that Shinichi obviously couldn’t be the murderer, this must be a trick. Kudo wouldn’t ever commit A Crime. And he was right. But still.)
Man, all the most notable cases I remember happened smack dab in the middle of the series. How the fuck are there like....600 more chapters to go through
i did a re-read of the org chapters up to where i was last before just reading the rest from there and boy howdy the stuff I remembered from older cases
(only tangently related is the intense feeling that someone just released gosho from a leash as chap 1000 drew near bc BOY DOES IT FEEL LIKE PLOT IS EVERYWHERE NOW COMPARED TO BEFORE)
but anyway i do love when two entirely different thoughts turn out to both be right bc gosh
I do kinda miss some of the earlier trickier cases involving suicide and accidents and the like but at the same time I can see why it moved away from those
we do still get those at least...also it feels like Really recently there's a trend in 'murderer just didn't communicate properly and now afterward there's a pile of regret' cases too and im like oh man this is a worrying trend
bro solidaritybut also i love forest gremlin shinichi a lotso basically you instead picked Heiji, but DumbMe: i mean i wouldnt say heiji isn't dumb either brain
but yeah, hes SuperDumb
how could i have let him intimidate me!!! u-u
the stuff I remembered from older cases
Also me:
ah yes, garlic dumplings with the gals, i remember thisbut anyway i do love when two entirely different thoughts turn out to both be right bc gosh
skimmed the volume listing and whenever something pinged my 'RIGHT THIS ONE' sense I noted it as 'read'
four sites to catch up cries
but when we didn't know we were all losing our minds
just
why would there be anything other than the body??? why?oh conan bud,haha oh no!!oh man this is a worrying trendgosho are you leading into something with this im scared
