Chapter 8 Act Now, Who Can Act Better Than You?
Chapter 8
It is said that there is a genius high school student who can understand the course of a case in just three minutes and catch the criminal in half an hour at most. He is even hailed as the future savior of Japan. His name is Kudo Shinichi.
They were both high school students, both detectives, so Hattori Heiji, far away in Osaka, naturally disagreed. In his eyes, everyone was the same, and before truly competing with someone, he would never acknowledge any title bestowed upon them.
For the above reasons, Hattori Heiji came to Beika Town in order to see the legendary Kudo Shinichi with his own eyes.
He heard from a police officer he knew that the other party encountered a case in Dorobigaar Paradise. It was already late at that time. In addition, he was a detective from Osaka, and he went to the crime scene for no reason. There was a possibility that he would be misunderstood. In the end, Hattori Heiji gave up.
At this time, Officer Otaki called and told him that a case had occurred in Osaka and hoped that he could return as soon as possible. In desperation, Hattori Heiji could only regretfully give up the opportunity to "compete" with Kudo Shinichi and booked a flight back tomorrow morning.
In fact, Hattori Heiji didn't expect to meet Miya Yu at the Beika Hotel.
The Miya and Hattori families were aristocratic families, and to some extent, they were distant cousins. When Miya Yu was chatting with him a while ago, he had mentioned coming to Tokyo for training. He remembered it was with some kind of all-Japan youth team, and he had made an appointment with them to meet up once they returned to Kansai, as a way of celebrating.
"You guys are training...staying in such a nice hotel?"
"Do you think it's possible?"
Gong You looked as if he had lost all hope in life.
It's not because of the training camp? Then it must be something else?
Instinctively sensing something complex in Miya Yu's expression, Hattori Heiji's expression shifted slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a girl in lolita clothing walk past him. As if noticing his gaze, she turned and smiled at him, then snatched the room card from Miya Yu's hand and walked towards the end of the corridor without looking back.
Hattori Heiji: Rob, rob?
It was the first time that Hattori Heiji saw someone "robbing" so openly. He was stunned and it took him a long time to react.
"You just watched her take your room card?"
"Then I have to be able to refuse."
What does this mean? Hattori Heiji frowned and turned to look at Gong... Good, he was hugged by Gong You.
"Heiji! You must help me!"
“…”
Hattori Heiji: What the hell? Why are you crying all of a sudden?
"Isn't Uncle Heizo the so-called Inspector? Since we're brothers, then quickly have Uncle Heizo arrest that Kurokawa guy!"
"I already said it's the Chief, Chief."
Really. Hattori Heiji couldn't help but roll his eyes. Miya Yuu's memory wasn't bad, but he always got it wrong about this. He didn't know what to complain about.
Thinking of what the other person had just said, Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes and reached out to pull the person off him.
"You just said... arresting Kurokawa? What did this Kurokawa do?"
What did Kurokawa do? It was a lot.
Although he was a bit of a big mouth, he always kept his promises. So the moment he opened his mouth, Gong You subconsciously concealed the fact that Kurokawa Kaoru was a cross-dresser (?).
"You should have seen it just now, right?"
"Just now?"
Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and continued, "Are you talking about the girl who's dressed like she's going to a tea party?"
"……Um."
It's really uncomfortable to feel like only you know someone's secret and can't tell anyone else.
Not knowing what Miya Yu was thinking, Hattori Heiji looked confused and asked, "So what's wrong with this Kurokawa?"
"He said his family was Mafia."
"I see."
Hattori Heiji nodded: "So it's the Mafia... the Mafia?"
Not surprisingly, seeing the surprise on Hattori Heiji's face, Miya Yu gave a dry laugh and scratched his head awkwardly: "At first, I didn't quite believe it, but due to some unexpected events, I'm now certain that there's definitely something fishy going on in Kurokawa's family. Uncle Heizo has done a good deed for the public by arresting him."
When you say “the general public”, do you mean yourself?
Looking at the "ferocious" look on Miya You's face, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but think in his heart.
After all, they are close brothers. Since Miya You said so, Hattori Heiji has to help him.
"Even if my dad is the chief of police in Osaka, this is Tokyo. You can't let him, a chief from Kansai, come to Kanto to deal with problems."
Besides, most of the mafia... have legitimate identities on the surface. Even if Kurokawa really told Gong You that his family was involved in mafia-related activities, as long as they don't have concrete evidence, they have no reason to arrest him.
Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji sighed.
"Since the other party is willing to tell you this, it means that he trusts you. If you do this, you are stabbing him in the back."
"Is this what I was thinking?"
Gong You's expression was devastated: "I just know that if you don't take him away, I'll be out of money!"
“…”
"That's about it. Since that guy was too embarrassed to speak up himself, I came to convey his meaning."
The conversation between Miya Yu and Hattori Heiji ended with Hattori Heiji agreeing to help persuade Kurokawa Kaoru to leave. For this, Hattori Heiji mocked him harshly - after all, being threatened by a girl to stay in a hotel, but not being able to cover the subsequent expenses because of insufficient pocket money, and being too embarrassed to ask for it, was really funny.
"Besides, I've stayed at Ah You's house before, and he talks in his sleep. People with poor sleep quality can't sleep well at all, and he'll even scare them. Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
“…”
This guy, is he straight? Kurokawa Kaoru's mouth twitched. And he's the kind of straight guy that makes girls feel helpless.
After all, in this life, Kurokawa Kaoru attended high school in Hyogo Prefecture. Due to some "professional habits", he was familiar with all the police in Hyogo Prefecture, including the large and small police stations in Kansai, including Hattori Heiji's father - Hattori Heizo.
The Osaka Prefectural Police Chief, with the rank of Superintendent, was said to be particularly skilled in kendo. His son, Hattori Heiji, was a high school detective from Kansai who had helped the Osaka police solve numerous cases, making countless headlines.
I never thought that such a person would be related to Gong You.
After quickly figuring out these things in his mind, Kurokawa Kaoru's expression changed slightly. The moment he looked up again, there was a suspicious blush on his face.
"How can it be trouble?"
Hattori Heiji looked confused: "How come that's not asking for trouble?"
"The Mafia and that was just a joke between Gong You and me, but I didn't expect him to believe it."
As a former mafia member, acting is a must. Noticing the other person's gaze on him, Kurokawa Kaoru sighed, put the small parasol in his hand aside, and then looked up at Hattori Heiji: "Miya Yu should have told you that he and I were classmates, right?"
Hattori Heiji nodded: "Is there any problem with this kind of thing?"
"I'm a girl, and I came all the way from Kansai to Kanto. Why do you think I did that?"
"Coming from Kansai to Kanto?"
What could possibly be the reason for something like this? The person on the other end wasn't him. He was making this trip just to be with Kudo Shinichi.
Heiji Hattori couldn't possibly want to play volleyball with Yuu, right?
Looking at his expression, Kurokawa Kaoru could already guess what kind of bizarre thoughts were going on in this man's mind. To prevent him from imagining things even more outrageous, he sighed and squeezed out a few tears.
"Of course it's because I really want to see Gong Yoo."
"Do you understand now?"
"This detective named Hattori Heiji?"
TBC.
