Chapter 76 Observation Diary
Shuichi Akai sent his hair for identification overnight and received the report early the next morning.
"Fortunately, there are still some hair follicles left at the roots, otherwise it wouldn't be so fast." He shrugged, holding the phone while making coffee.
"What's the result?" asked Conan Edogawa on the other end of the phone.
Akai Shuichi said, "The result is, there is no result." He finally freed one hand, took the phone in his hand, and said, "The test found that some of the DNA was broken, which is obviously not the state of a normal person."
He picked up the coffee and took a sip, then said, "Given Vermouth's condition, it's quite plausible that she has some health issues. That hair could really be hers."
Edogawa Conan's eyes darkened.
All signs indicate that Vermouth is a victim of an organization's rejuvenation or immortality plan. Although she seems to be eternally young, there must be other side effects, so it is also possible that there is a problem with her DNA.
I just don't know if he is the same.
Across from him, Akai Shuichi said, "In that case, Hatori Yui is a suspect. Someone who looks like Vermouth appeared at his house. He is either a member of the organization or a target of the organization."
"That's right." Edogawa Conan said, "So I decided to give him a try."
Akai Shuichi warned: "Be careful."
"Um."
After Edogawa Conan hung up the phone, he immediately grabbed a bag and went out on his skateboard.
Mao Lilan saw him and quickly shouted to him: "Conan, where are you going? You haven't had breakfast yet!"
Edogawa Conan turned around and shouted: "No more eating, I'm going to the doctor's house to play~"
He hurried to the door of Hatori Yui's house, fixed his hair, and rang the doorbell on tiptoe.
After ringing twice, the door opened.
Hatori Yui looked down and saw the smiling child, and was slightly startled. "Conan?"
Edogawa Conan smiled and said, "Good morning, Brother Hatori~"
"Good morning." Hatori Yui asked doubtfully, "What do you want from me? Did you drop something here?"
Edogawa Conan shook his head with an embarrassed expression and said, "Actually, our teacher assigned us a homework assignment, which is to write an observation diary about the people around us. However, I have almost written about Xiaolan and the others, so this time I want to write about you." He clasped his hands together and begged, "Please, let me observe you for a day! I will definitely not make trouble!"
Hatori Yuiichi had never been to a proper school and had no idea what the first-grade homework requirements were. He wondered, "Are the requirements really that high in elementary school? They even have to write a character observation diary."
He smiled and said, "Sure. But I have to go to school for training today, so I might be very busy..."
Edogawa Conan immediately said: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, just ignore me." He pretended to take out a pen and a small notebook, "You just do your own thing as usual today, I will just observe from the side."
Hatori Yui blinked in confusion. Are you really that serious?
However, since Conan said so, he couldn't dampen the children's enthusiasm.
"Okay, then I'll make you my recorder." He stepped aside to let Conan in and said, "I'm making breakfast. Have you eaten? Do you want to eat something?"
Edogawa Conan was just about to say no when he smelled a faint fragrance coming from the kitchen and his stomach growled.
His cheeks instantly turned red.
I left in a hurry this morning and didn't eat anything. QAQ
Hatori Yui chuckled, rubbed his head, and said, "Just sit for a while, it will be fine soon."
Edogawa Conan blushed and said, "Thank you, Hatori-nii."
So embarrassing!
The only thing Hatori prepared was a classic Japanese breakfast: tamagoyaki, miso soup, pan-fried mackerel, and some homemade pickled vegetables, all served with rice. Although simple, a good cook can make simple dishes look amazing.
Edogawa Conan took a bite of the fish, his eyes lit up, and he praised sincerely, "Delicious!" Then he quickened his eating pace.
After eating, while Hatori Yui was washing the dishes, he was still savoring the taste of the side dishes.
I really don't know how Hatori-san made such delicious pickles that go well with rice! He felt like he could have another bowl of rice!
"Conan, can I prepare lunch for you too?" Hatori Yui asked in the kitchen.
Conan Edogawa immediately slid down from his seat and walked to the kitchen door: "Is this too much trouble?" He found it difficult to say a direct refusal.
Hatori Yui turned her head to look at him and said with a smile, "No. But I have some leftover curry from last night. Do you mind?"
Edogawa Conan shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I don't mind! I'm not picky about food."
"Okay." Hatori Yui took out a new lunch box from the cabinet and began to prepare lunch.
By the way, he once went to watch a football game and prepared a lot of food in advance, but it was blown away before he could even take a bite.
What a shame! If you have the chance, I'll invite you to a picnic.
Hatori Yuiichi thought.
Edogawa Conan did not forget the purpose of his visit because of the meal. He stood at the kitchen door and silently observed Hatori Yuiichi. From washing and cutting vegetables to cooking, his movements were very smooth. If someone who didn't know him saw him, they might really think he was a professional chef.
He stroked his chin and thought: Do people in the organization know how to cook? Mr. Amuro is also a waiter and cook in the cafe, and he does it perfectly.
After lunch was ready, Hatori Yuiichi prepared to go out.
He looked down at Conan and said, "I'm going to run to school later. You can follow me on your skateboard."
Edogawa Conan puffed out his chest and said, "It's okay, I can keep up with you by running!" He also exercises regularly, and there are times when he runs several blocks behind a criminal. Running is no big deal for him.
Hatori Yui stared at him and smiled.
Then, within five minutes, Edogawa Conan obediently got on the skateboard.
He was shocked: How could Brother Hatori run so fast?!
He looked at Hatori Yui's stride and fell silent. One stride was almost twice his height! Damn! Long legs are a big deal!
Hearing the sound of the skateboard behind him, Yui Hatori couldn't help but laugh. He usually ran at this speed, and since Conan told him to run as usual, he didn't let up at all.
It's really fun to entertain children.
When he arrived at the volleyball team, his teammates were surprised to see him bringing a child with him.
"Hatori, is this your brother?" asked Sakuhaya Shinta.
Edogawa Conan greeted politely: "Hello everyone, I'm a friend of Hatori-san. I have to write an observation diary, so I will follow Hatori-san all day. Please give me your guidance."
His polite demeanor won the favor of his teammates, especially those with younger brothers. Compared to their own troublemaker, Conan is simply the "dream brother"! Such an obedient and sensible brother is not easy to find.
Some people even teased the child and asked him to call him "brother" again.
"That's enough," Hatori Yuiichi warned.
Narita shook his head and sighed, "You don't know, my kid is now in his rebellious phase, always saying 'I' and 'Uncle'. I really want to hear what it feels like to be called 'Brother' sweetly."
Edogawa Conan: ...
Hatori Yuiichi threw the towel at Narita's face and said, "Are you a pervert? Get out of here." He took Edogawa Conan to a corner on the sidelines and told him to call him if he had any difficulties, or to ask the team managers nearby for help.
Edogawa Conan nodded obediently, and received a pat on the head and a smile from Hatori.
The team members on the side were all shocked.
No reason, just because Hatori Yui is always so serious during team training. Why is he so gentle today? Is he possessed by a ghost?!
Hatori Yui rolled her eyes. "I'm exhausted from training, so who has the energy to smile? Besides, why would I smile at you?"
Teammate: Well, we don’t deserve it.
After the team members arrived, they did basic warm-up exercises together and then went out for a run.
Conan Edogawa also followed. This time he didn't use a skateboard, but borrowed one of the managers' bicycles to follow behind. However, due to his height restriction, even with the seat adjusted to the lowest position, his butt couldn't reach the bicycle, so he could only pedal in mid-air, which was quite tiring.
After running, I went back indoors for basic physical training, followed by various hitting training.
After a morning of watching, Edogawa Conan noticed that Hatori Yui's physical fitness was exceptional. While others were sweating profusely, he was only slightly panting. By the end, when everyone else was too exhausted to move, he still looked like he could go for another round. It was said that he had reduced his training by one-third because he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Edogawa Conan sat cross-legged on the ground, supporting his chin with one hand and lost in thought: Although it looks exaggerated, compared with professional players, Hatori Yui's physical fitness is very normal and has not exceeded the limits of human beings.
After the morning training, the afternoon was free. After lunch, Hatori Yui took Edogawa Conan to the lounge, where there was a massage bed so they could sleep for a while. Or they could sleep on the bed in the infirmary.
However, Edogawa Conan did not sleep. After Hatori Yui's breathing calmed down, he walked over to him and took a few turns. However, he was still sleeping soundly.
Conan Edogawa frowned: If he is a member of the organization, he should be very vigilant. But he can fall asleep in a relatively noisy environment. Isn't he a little careless?
When Hatori Yui woke up, he also pretended to have just woken up.
Normally, Hatori Yui has to attend classes in addition to training. However, freshman classes aren't very long, so he still has the energy to take care of the volleyball team. When the class schedule increases, he'll have to cut back on training or even quit.
Because it was a day off, he didn't have classes in the afternoon, but he still went to find his teacher at school and asked for some information.
From the teachers' attitude towards him, it can be seen that Hatori Yui is a good student and may even become their "favorite student."
Edogawa Conan was even more confused. Would such a person give up his bright future to commit evil?
In the evening, when Hatori Yui left school and passed by the vegetable market, he turned in to buy some vegetables. He also asked, "Conan, what do you want to eat for dinner?"
Edogawa Conan looked up at Hatori Yuiichi. He had a gentle expression and a smile in his eyes, and seemed to have enough patience for the child.
He was like this yesterday. Even when three kids he didn't know wanted to go to his house to play, he readily agreed and didn't show any impatience at all.
Edogawa Conan smiled, shook his head and said, "No need, Sister Xiaolan is waiting for me at home for dinner." He ran forward a few steps, then turned around and bowed to Hatori Yui, saying, "Thank you, Brother Hatori! I'm sorry to bother you today!" Then, without giving him a chance to react, he turned around and ran away.
Yui Hatori stared blankly at the child's energetic back, then laughed.
Sure enough, it’s better for children to be lively.
