Chapter 75 Hatori's Residence
Dong Yexi leaned against the wall with his crutches and was lost in thought.
He had just been nearly killed by a flowerpot, but the system hadn't warned him. Was it because the incident happened so suddenly and in such a short time that there was no time to warn him, or was the system certain that he would be fine?
If it is the former, it means that the system is not powerful enough to predict sudden accidents; if it is the latter, then the system is extremely powerful and can even predict his actions.
Dong Yexi sighed helplessly. No matter what, he was controlled by the system. No matter how much he thought, it was useless unless he could find a way to break away from the system.
Since methamphetamine was found, the KTV had to be closed down, and the owner and employees were taken away for investigation. Customers also had their phone numbers given to them, waiting to be summoned by the police.
The customers were all standing at the door, and Okiya Subaru knew that today was the club's team building. However, he thought it was normal that he was not invited, after all, he was just an extra staff member.
Dong Yexi praised his magnanimity.
The party was forced to end, and under the destruction of Anda Shizuku Maon, the club members no longer had the spirit of playing and decided to disband on the spot.
However, Dong Yexi didn't want to go back so early, saying that he wanted to go shopping again. But he was on crutches and had difficulty moving around, so how could he go shopping alone?
Dong Yexi said: "There are bodyguards following him."
Everyone: ...
Subaru Okiya smiled and said, "I'm free today anyway, I'll accompany you."
Dong Yexi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before agreeing. He thought: Today's case has already happened, and there shouldn't be any accidents in the future.
So Higashino Hiroshi, Okiya Subaru and four other children went shopping together.
Yoshida Ayumi and the other two often passed by here on their way to and from school. They were very familiar with this road and kept introducing the shops nearby to him. This shop had delicious takoyaki, and that shop had delicious juice... Under their recommendation, Higashino Xi bought a lot of delicious food and shared it with them.
The only pitiful one might be Subaru Okiya, who was ordered to queue up.
But Higashino Xi was justified. It wasn't like he didn't share some food with Okiya Subaru, so it was considered as payment.
Dong Yexi and the three children ate and drank happily along the way.
Conan Edogawa took a sip of the fresh orange juice and thought to himself: Who can tell the difference between college students and elementary school students?
As they were walking, Higashino Hi unexpectedly saw Hatori Yuichi. He quickly waved and called out, "Hateori~"
Hatori Yui turned around and saw him, also surprised. He quickly walked up to Higashino Hi and asked, "Senior, why are you here?"
Dong Yexi said with a smile: "I came out to play."
Upon hearing this, Hatori Yui looked down at his right leg which was in a splint, then looked up at him with eyes that said, "It's not healed yet."
Dong Yexi reached out and pressed his arm, saying, "I've been at home for a month! What's wrong with going out for some fresh air?"
Hatori Yuiichi supported him and said seriously, "It's nothing. Where else do you want to go, senior? I'll go with you."
Dong Yexi shook his head and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I live nearby." said Hatori Yuiichi.
Dong Yexi's eyes lit up: "Can I come to your house to play?" He had mentioned it before, but he forgot about it the moment he turned around... Now that it was mentioned, he remembered it again.
Seeing how eager he was, how could Hatori Yui refuse? Besides, this house was specially prepared for the purpose of hosting the senior.
Hatori Yui nodded.
At this moment, he felt someone gently pull at the hem of his clothes. He looked down and saw three pairs of sparkling eyes. The three children asked in unison, "Big brother, can we go too?"
Hatori Yui paused.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the three children thought he disagreed and said anxiously: "We are all good children and we won't do anything naughty!"
"We are friends of Brother Dongye, and rounding it off, we are also your friends."
Conan Edogawa on the side couldn't help but smile and thought: If you round it up like this, the whole world will be your friend.
Hatori Yui chuckled and said, "Sure. But I don't have any snacks at home."
The children blinked and held up their bags. "It's okay, we have them."
Then, Okiya Subaru also said: "If possible, can I come along? After all, I promised their parents that I would send them home."
Hatori Yui nodded.
He would love to have someone else look after the children.
The group soon arrived at where Hatori Yui lived. It was a four-story apartment building and he lived on the second floor.
"Hey~ So Brother Hatori lives here!" Yoshida Ayumi said in surprise, "We pass by here often!"
Conan Edogawa's eyes were a little serious. He had seen Gin's car near this place before. At that time, he didn't see Gin get out of the car and thought he was just passing by. Now he thought, he might be here to visit the residents.
After Hatori Yui opened the door, Higashino Hi was the first to walk in, and he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
Clean! Tidy! It's rare for a boy to keep his house so clean.
Thinking of his apartment with his shoes kicked around and clothes scattered everywhere, Higashino blushed a little. But then he thought, they complement each other perfectly, so he would let Hatori fold the clothes from now on.
Higashino Hi sat on the sofa and fantasized about the future. After getting Hatori's unique permission, the children began to visit his room.
A room of more than 60 square meters is not small. It is divided into one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom, and there is also a large semi-enclosed balcony.
"Hatori-san's room is so tidy!" Kojima Genta exclaimed, "It's quite different from his image."
Yoshida Ayumi asked: "Why do you say that?"
"Look, Brother Hatori is so tall, he must like sports. Men who like sports..." He wrinkled his nose as he thought of the brothers next door who liked to play basketball. "Anyway, their bedrooms are not very tidy. There are so many posters on the walls, it looks messy."
"It's a personal hobby," said Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya. "Not everyone who likes sports likes to post posters."
Conan Edogawa was not interested in other people's rooms, he was dragged in by force.
However, Hatori Yui's room was indeed too clean and did not look like a young person's bedroom at all.
He saw a velvet gift box on the bedside table and opened it. Wow, it was an expensive watch!
"Ah! Conan! No!" Yoshida Ayumi saw him open the box and immediately came over to put the lid back on the gift box, then sternly taught him, "You can't take other people's things casually! This is not a good boy's behavior!"
Conan Edogawa immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I was wrong." To be honest, he really couldn't resist his curiosity and subconsciously wanted to search when he arrived in an unfamiliar place.
This can be considered an occupational disease.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya shook his head helplessly: "Conan is sometimes very sensible, and sometimes he is like a naughty child."
"Really. Conan, you should learn more from us. Be polite!" Kojima Genta said with his arms folded across his chest and nodded.
Conan Edogawa: ...Damn it, I was taught a lesson by them!
Hatori Yui's family didn't have any snacks, but they did have some fruit. He washed a few apples, cut them up, and brought them out. He even cut them into rabbit shapes to treat the children.
Dong Yexi gave him a playful look. He hadn't expected him to be so childish.
The children were delighted to see the bunny apples, and were even more convinced that, despite being large, Hatori-san was a kind person. They also placed the snacks that Higashino had given them on the table and shared them with everyone.
Conan Edogawa picked up an apple, and accidentally bumped into Genta Kojima. He lost his grip on the apple and it fell under the table.
"Ah." He immediately slid off the chair and prepared to pick it up.
Hatori Yuiichi stood up and said, "I'll do it."
"No, no." Edogawa Conan had already crawled under the table. When he was picking up the apple, he found that a long white hair seemed to be pressed by the chair leg. He suddenly thought and picked it up.
After he emerged from under the table, Hatori Yuiichi held out his hand and said, "Give it to me, and you can get another piece."
Edogawa Conan shook his head and said, "It can be eaten after washing it."
Everyone: ...
Dong Yexi chuckled: "I didn't expect Conan to cherish food so much!"
Hatori Yuiichi also smiled: "Okay, I'll wash it."
But the apple was not given to the child, he ate it himself.
After playing for a while, Subaru Okiya reminded the children that it was time to go back, otherwise they would be scolded. The children could only say goodbye to Hatori Yuiichi and Higashino Hiroshi reluctantly.
Dong Yexi was not in a hurry to go home. He wanted to at least have a meal before leaving!
Hatori Yuiichi was also looking forward to his senior staying for dinner, and after everyone else left, he immediately turned around and went to work in the kitchen, while Higashino Hiroshi sat aside and watched.
The man who cooks is so handsome!
Hatori Yui cooks for himself almost every day, but today, standing in front of the stove, he felt something different. He turned his head and saw Higashino Hii smiling at him, and he couldn't help but smile too.
It turned out that it was because I was accompanied by a senior.
His mood became happier, and his hands moved faster, occasionally picking up a few chopsticks of food to feed his senior in advance. When Dong Yexi's eyes lit up and he gave him a thumbs up, he felt even more satisfied.
This is the life he longs for.

After sending the three children back, Subaru Okiya asked, "Should I send you back to the Mori family?"
Edogawa Conan shook his head and said, "Let's go back to my house first. I have something to tell you."
Subaru Okiya noticed that his expression was a little serious and raised his eyebrows.
The two returned to Kudo's house, and Edogawa Conan said: "We always thought that Gin appeared there because he had a base there, but now think about it, he might also be looking for someone."
Subaru Okiya looked at him in surprise and asked, "Do you doubt Hatori Yuiichi?"
Conan Edogawa nodded, then shook his head: "It's not targeting him, everyone nearby is a suspect." He took the hair out of his pocket and put it in a small evidence bag.
"I picked this up from his house." After picking it up, he kept holding it with his left hand in his pocket, fearing that the hair would be lost. Kojima Genta and the other two thought he was pretending to be cool again, and he had to put his hands in his pockets even when sitting and eating.
Subaru Okiya took it and looked at it. "White hair. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Edogawa Conan said: "Look carefully, this hair has a hint of gold."
Okiya Subaru's expression froze, and he said in disbelief: "You suspect it's Vermouth's hair?"
"I don't know." Edogawa Conan sighed, "I hope not." If it is really Vermouth's hair, then Hatori Yui is related to the organization.
Subaru Okiya thought for a moment and said, "This color can be dyed. Maybe it was left by a female friend?"
Edogawa Conan glanced at him and said, "He probably won't let female friends come to his house."
Subaru Okiya thought about the relationship between Hatori Yui and Higashino Hiroshi and felt that what he said was right.
"Okay, I'll take this hair for identification. However, we don't have Vermouth's genes, so we can't be sure it's her."
But Edogawa Conan said: "As long as we check, we can know if it is her."
