Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
The sunlight poured in through the gaps in the curtains, and Fujiwara Yu, who was lying on his back on the bed, quickly frowned. He had always been a light sleeper, especially after changing his environment, he always felt a sense of insecurity.
It’s not that he is sensitive by nature, but the work he does and the things he has experienced are not things that allow him to breathe deeply and completely relax.
He turned over in bed, intending to stay in bed for a while, but he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
What followed was that the door was suddenly pushed open, and the incandescent lamp hanging from the ceiling was suddenly turned on. The dazzling light left Fujiwara You with nowhere to escape. He quickly jumped up from the bed, but before he could even roar in anger, something like two gunshots scared away the last bit of his remaining sleepiness.
Bang! Bang!
Of course, he wasn't shot.
The sound was not made by a pistol, but by a cannon like the ones used at parties.
"……Happy birthday!
Brother Yingsi!
!
!”
Hattori Heiji had messy hair from just waking up and was wearing dark green pajamas. He excitedly rushed into Toji Sosuke's bedroom with a salute in his hand without washing his face or brushing his teeth. He was unaware that his voice was loud to begin with, and his shouting almost knocked Toji Sosuke away while he was sitting on the bed.
“…”
There was shock, but no surprise, no happiness, and what was left was only unhappiness.
Why?
Because Fujiwara Yu's hair, body and bed were all covered with ribbons and scraps of colored paper left over from the salutes, and he, who already had obsessive-compulsive disorder, could not tolerate this situation happening to himself, so naturally he was not in a good mood.
"Happy birthday, Brother Yingsi, auntie has already prepared breakfast, but there's no fish!" At this time, Yuanshan Heye also poked her head out of the door and said with a smile, and she was relieved when she confirmed that Brother Yingsi was wearing pajamas.
The reason why Toyama Kazuha appeared here early was because she was worried that Hattori Heiji would oversleep and miss the surprise.
Originally they had planned to send their blessings at midnight, but Takagi Sosuke went to bed early yesterday, so they didn't have the heart to disturb him and had to wait until the next morning... After all, they had to be the first to send their blessings.
The slight anger that had been building up in Fujiwara Yuu dissipated at the sight of Kazuha's birthday wishes. He sighed helplessly. What else could he do? These two children had been so kind in sending him birthday wishes, so naturally he accepted them with gratitude.

"Thank you for your birthday wishes. I'll just wash up and go downstairs."
"Okay, Brother Yingsi, don't forget what you promised us."
promise?
Fujiwara Yuu's brain took a few seconds to react. He seemed to have promised to drive them to Tottori Prefecture during their spring break two days ago. He threw back the covers, got out of bed, and asked as he opened the closet:
"By the way, are you planning a trip to Tottori Prefecture? Is it organized by your classmates?"
"No, I was talking about a letter of commission asking me to take you to Tottori Prefecture to find the Takeda family." Hattori Heiji waved his hands happily. He was quite excited to receive the letter of commission. Of course, he knew in his heart that it was sent to him just to use him to find Brother Takashi, a policeman.
Fujiwara Yuu frowned, thinking this was a bit strange. He reached out from the closet and took out a light brown cardigan sweater, closed the door and said:
"Show me the letter of commission while we eat. You can leave now. I need to change my clothes."
"no problem!"
Originally, Fujiwara Yuu had been planning to wear something more casual, but since he was going to meet a client, he decided to go with something a little more formal. He picked up the white shirt he had ironed the previous night and hung it nearby. He expertly tied a light brown striped tie around it, then slipped on his cardigan sweater to give it a more casual look.
He didn't choose a suit jacket simply because he didn't want to end up working overtime during his vacation. After all, he wears a suit to work every day, so he should wear a suit less on weekends.
After washing up, Fujiwara Yu did not forget to open the bedroom window, and urged the power of the wind to send all the ribbons and pieces of colored paper into the trash can. The excess dust was naturally sent directly out of the window, and the air in the room became fresh.
After completing this series of operations, he walked down the stairs and noticed that everyone was sitting around the dining table, but there was no sign of Hattori Heizo. It seemed that Mr. Heizo had gone out to work early again.
"Happy birthday, Sosuke. Come over and have breakfast." Hattori Shizuka greeted him with a smile, and did not forget to stand up to help serve a bowl of red bean rice, which is the staple food that Japanese people usually eat on their birthdays.
"Thank you, Auntie." After Fujiwara Yu pulled up a chair and sat down, he noticed the white envelope on the table. He opened it and found not only a piece of letter paper but also a stack of ten thousand yuan in banknotes. "Did the client pay all the money in advance?"
Hattori Heiji ate his red bean rice in big mouthfuls, chewed it quickly, and swallowed it. He reached out and took the clam miso soup handed to him by Kazuha, took a sip, and nodded vigorously.
"Yeah, I hadn't planned to go, but they paid the commission fee without asking for permission, and they didn't even leave any contact information, so there's no way to get in touch."
"Heiji, don't you want Sosuke to finish his meal before watching?" Hattori Shizuka looked at her son helplessly. This time she was a little worried that Sosuke Takagi would accompany the two children to Tottori Prefecture. It was not that she was worried that something would happen, but she was worried that Sosuke's vacation would be ruined again.
