"Let's go!" Heiji Hattori immediately led Conan upstairs.
"Heiji, I'm fine." Kazuha, who had just felt a little better thanks to Ran's gentle and patient company, was overjoyed when she saw Heiji walking towards her. She thought Heiji had come specifically to check on her.
"Okay, I got it. Conan and I are going up to take a look." Heiji Hattori waved casually, his steps never faltering as he passed Kazuha and ran over at an extremely fast speed.
"Heiji..." Kazuha seemed to be frozen in place, her body stiffening instantly. She uttered the words blankly, her face filled with disbelief.
"Hattori-kun is going too far!" Ran looked at Kazuha, who was so heartbroken, and felt a pang of pity. She hugged her tightly.
At this moment, in this situation, Xiaolan couldn't help but think of her past self.
Yes, wasn't I like that before?
I have also experienced moments of being ignored and hurt.
Fortunately, she later met Nan.
Thinking of this, Xiaolan's eyes softened even more. She gently patted He Ye's back and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay..."
"Heh~ Are there no normal people among these detectives?" Ai Haibara stood next to Nanami Yuzuru with her arms crossed and her brows slightly furrowed. She stared intently at the scene and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
“Who in their right mind would become a detective?” Yuzuru Hanyu chimed in with a strong sense of agreement.
It's only because the police in the Detective Conan world are so incompetent that they give detectives a chance to survive.
When times progress further and surveillance becomes ubiquitous, detectives will likely only exist in novels.
Oh right, it seems there really isn't any surveillance camera in Detective Conan!
"Let's go and comfort Kazuha!" Yuzuru said, taking Ai's hand and walking forward.
"I have a feeling you're up to something." Ai suddenly stopped and turned to look at Yuzuru, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
"You're overthinking it..." Yuzuru immediately denied it, a look of innocence on his face.
...
After Hanyu Nanasu and Ran patiently stayed with the heartbroken Kazuha for a while, Hattori Heiji and Conan came downstairs looking dejected.
"Damn it, there's not a single clue!" Hattori Heiji said angrily as he walked.
Conan frowned, as if he had remembered something: "I feel like I've seen this scene before."
"Where does it look familiar?" Hattori Heiji asked in surprise.
Conan hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "I've handled similar cases before. At the time, the scene was completely clueless, but..."
At this point, Conan suddenly paused, his gaze falling on Hanyu Nanasu, who was handing Kazuha an ice cream, before continuing, "And that guy always shows up at the crime scene!"
"You mean Hanyu Nan?" Hattori Heiji followed Conan's gaze, then shook his head. "It's unlikely to be him. After all, there have been two cases in Osaka before this one with the exact same modus operandi."
“Really? Then maybe I’m wrong,” Conan thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed unlikely to be Hanyu Nan. After all, Hanyu Nan came here because of Ran, so it was impossible for him to have gone to kill someone beforehand. “Hattori, tell me about those two cases that happened in Osaka before.”
"good."
...
"Kazuha-kun, let's have some ice cream!" Yuzuru held up an ice cream cone, a bright smile on his face. "Eating something sweet will make you feel better!"
As Kazuha was immersed in grief, she slowly raised her head, her eyes fixed on the ice cream. Then she looked at Yuzuru's gentle face and was slightly stunned.
"Yes, Kazuha~ I used to love this sweet taste when I was sad!" Ran recalled the past, took the ice cream, and pretended to feed Kazuha.
"No need, I'll do it myself..." Kazuha blushed as she took back the ice cream, took a small bite, and then gave Yuzuru a grateful smile. "Thank you, Yuzuru-kun."
"You're welcome. Aren't we friends?" Yuzuru smiled and withdrew his hand, his eyes full of sincerity.
“Yes, yes, we’re friends. Kazuha is so cute, we can’t let her be sad.” Ran nodded repeatedly.
"Hehe, Ran is quite lovable too." Kazuha's face turned even redder, and she shyly stuck out her pink little tongue to gently lick the ice cream.
Meanwhile, Kazuha thought to herself, "If Heiji could be as thoughtful and considerate as Hanyu, doing these things for me, even if it's just buying me a small ice cream, how happy I would be."
Seeing that Kazuha's complexion was gradually improving and she was full of energy again, Yuzuru Nanami patted Ai's soft, short hair, who was also eating ice cream.
Ai was already used to his actions, so she just shook her head and continued to quietly eat her ice cream.
Keep it up, Heiji Hattori! You have to do your best to find the culprit!
The safety of the people of Osaka depends entirely on you; you can't let them down.
As for Kazuha, let him take care of him.
We can't let personal feelings waste the great detective's precious time for solving the case.
...
"Heiji, you said you were going to solve a case?"
Kazuha stared wide-eyed at Hattori Heiji, who had finally completed his on-site investigation and was walking towards her, his face full of shock.
"Yeah, Kazuha, why don't you play with Ran and the others for a while?" Hattori Heiji casually flipped his backwards baseball cap around and pressed it down hard. "How dare they kill someone so arrogantly in front of me! I'll make this murderer know what regret is!"
My childhood sweetheart can wait for me, but the case can't.
Yuzuru: I don't know if he'll regret it, but I'll definitely make you regret it.
"Hey, Heiji!" Despite being slightly annoyed by Hattori Heiji's disregard for her feelings, Kazuha couldn't help but call out worriedly as he turned to leave, "Did you put on your amulet?"
"I've taken it." Heiji Hattori waved without turning his head and hurriedly left with Conan.
Women will only slow me down in solving cases!
"Hey, Conan, why are you following them too, you little brat?" Kogoro Mouri suddenly realized something was wrong, turned around and said to Nanami and the others with a headache, "I'll go keep an eye on those two kids, Nanami, you take Ran and the others and play around for a while!" After saying that, he followed them.
