"Russian Society, aren't you just like Kudo's wife?"

When the Kansai-accented boy in front of her asked her that question, Xiaolan's face turned as red as a tomato.

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

Even Conan, who was on the phone, hurriedly turned around.

"Hey you..."

"Who was that person who just spoke? Was it that strange kid you mentioned?..."

Before Conan could answer, the boy who heard the voice on the phone strode over.

"Little kid, who are you calling? Does it sound like Shinichi Kudo?"

Before Conan could speak, he had already snatched the microphone away.

"Hey Shinichi Kudo, why are you hiding? Come out and have a match with me!"

Because of the accent, Yoruichi Toyama on the other end of the phone easily guessed the caller's identity.

But he still asked, feigning ignorance, "Who are you?"

"His Russian name is Hattori Heiji, which sounds like a high school detective."

Yoruichi Toyama, as well as Ran and Conan standing behind the boy on the other end of the phone, all heard him speak clearly.

"Everyone calls me 'Hattori of Kansai,' but you're like 'Kudo of Kanto,' so I wanted to chat with you."

“Russian News… no, I mean, Mr. Persuasion,” Yoruichi Toyama finally coughed and said very seriously, “could you speak Mandarin?”

"Also, I'm not Shinichi Kudo, my name is Toyama, and I'm Conan's friend."

"What the hell?..." Hattori Heiji was startled, then straightened his tone, "What's going on? You didn't even explain yourself clearly, really..."

He muttered to himself as he slammed the phone down.

"Hello!" Conan, who was waiting to answer the phone, glared angrily, but thankfully the phone rang again immediately.

"Conan? I'm Toyama..."

Conan had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Heiji Hattori walking towards Ran again, seemingly about to get entangled with "wife" or something, which made him tense up.

"...It's okay, you heard it too, he's just a high school detective..."

Just as he was about to give a few perfunctory words and hang up the phone to quickly pull away the boy harassing Ran, Yoruichi Toyama's voice on the other end of the line suddenly became serious.

"That's all? You've never heard of him before?"

"Huh? I heard he's doing something?" High school detective Shinichi Kudo replied listlessly.

That guy, why is he still interrogating Xiaolan? Damn it!

Oh no, my nose is about to run again...

However, Yoruichi Toyama's next words immediately put him to his senses.

"Come on, his surname is Hattori! You've heard of Hattori Heizo, the chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, right?"

"What?" Conan was startled and couldn't help but blurt out a Shaanxi accent.

"Yes, he is the son of Hattori, the head of the department."

"In other words, it wouldn't be easy for him to get inside information from the police, but it probably wouldn't be too difficult either."

"Regarding your situation, although Mr. Amuro has made arrangements, if he is determined to investigate, it is hard to say whether he will find out anything."

"Keep him calm, I'll be right there!"

"Oh, right," Yoruichi Toyama asked again before hanging up, "you...you didn't eat anything weird, did you?"

"Huh?" Conan paused for a moment, then spoke somewhat unclearly, "When Hattori first came in, he tricked me into drinking half a glass of wine, saying it was to cure my cold..."

"...Never mind, I was going to remind you not to eat anything indiscriminately when you have a cold..."

Yoruichi Toyama's voice sounded like she had given up.

"Just wait for me, I'll be there soon!"

That guy from Yuanshan actually cares about me quite a bit!

Conan rubbed his nose as he hung up the phone.

Suddenly, Hattori Heiji, who had wandered around the house and peered through the window for a long time, returned to the scene with a mysterious expression.

"Is your friend, the one surnamed Yuanshan, coming?"

“I just heard Miss Mori say that he is also a detective.”

"Then he must know Shinichi Kudo, right?"

Conan was stunned by the three enthusiastic shots in quick succession. He nodded instinctively before coming to his senses. He then narrowed his eyes and glared at the boy who was several shades darker than Amuro Tooru.

"Hattori-nii, if I didn't know you really didn't know Shinichi-nii, judging from your eagerness, I would have thought..."

"You're the real Kudo's wife!"

...

After giving Miyano Akemi a brief explanation, Toyama Yoruichi grabbed Taro and hurried off to the Mori family's house in Beika City.

Although he had given away spoilers, revealing that the incident had nothing to do with the brewery, Miyano Akemi still thought it best to be cautious since someone had specifically come looking for "Shinichi Kudo".

Yoruichi Toyama's plan was to prevent people from drawing everyone out from a single line.

This is probably also the plan of Officer Furuya.

That's why he let Yoruichi Toyama and Akemi Miyano live in Fudoyama, while he himself stayed nearby to protect Conan.

According to Conan, if he wasn't meeting with Kazami, then the Black Organization must have summoned him for some business.

Then we absolutely cannot let Akemi Miyano show her face.

Putting aside these uncertainties, Yoruichi Toyama has nothing to worry about regarding this incident.

Taro, however, became excited after realizing what was about to happen.

[Host, host, you'd better seize this opportunity and take advantage of Shinichi Kudo's appearance to boost your favorability!]

"Nonsense, of course I know."

Sitting in the taxi, Yoruichi Toyama casually stroked the cat's head and answered without much interest.

He knew perfectly well that this was a good opportunity to complete a mission, and that it would probably be another hundred or two hundred episodes before Shinichi Kudo made his true appearance again.
