As a ski resort, Appi Kogen Ski Resort has hot springs as a must-have for any hotel here.
After skiing, taking a comfortable hot spring bath can not only relieve muscle soreness, but also warm the body and eliminate the day's fatigue.
Fujiwara Yu, who was already physically and mentally exhausted from his busy work, took his bathrobe and toiletries to the men's locker room of the hotel as the first thing he did after returning to the hotel. He put on slippers and went to the bathing area to take a bath before entering the hot spring pool.
Perhaps it was dinner time and there were not many people coming to the men's hot spring to take a bath. Fujiwara Yu, leaning alone by the pool, felt like he had the whole place to himself, but this enjoyment of being alone was broken in less than two minutes.
An unidentified black object exploded into the hot spring pool like a sugar-coated bullet. The splashing hot spring water directly washed Fujiwara's face, and his hair, which was almost dry, became wet again.
"Hattori you..."
"Haha, after skiing I really want to take a hot spring bath. It's so comfortable!"
Fujiwara Yu stared at Hattori Heiji who was performing the backstroke in the hot spring with half-moon eyes, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: He said he was a mature junior high school student, but after all this time he was still a little kid with a childish heart.
He thought of the information he had just learned when he returned to the hotel, turned his head to look at Hattori, and said teasingly:
"Hattori, I just asked for the name of that junior high school student. Do you want to know?"
"Not interested."
Hattori Heiji curled his lips in disinterest, but he immediately stopped swimming on his back and his serious look betrayed his true inner thoughts. He still cared about the junior high school student very much, and even recognized him in his heart as his competitor in reasoning.
"Oh, then I won't tell you."
Hattori Heiji didn't expect Brother Yingsi to give up like this. Shouldn't a normal person ask again? Why didn't he ask again? He coughed awkwardly twice and asked politely:
"Is he famous in Kanto? How come I can find out by just asking?"
"Yeah, he's pretty famous in school, but he's not famous for reasoning, he's famous for football." Fujiwara Yuu recalled what the girl said, which seemed to say that Kudo Shinichi was the center forward of the school football team. He looked at Hattori and teased, "Your situation is quite similar. The reason you're famous in school is kendo."
Hattori Heiji couldn't help but show a little pride on his face when he heard the second half of the sentence. He couldn't help but ask directly out of curiosity:
"Brother Yingsi, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me his name."
If you consider him as your opponent, you naturally need to know his name.
"Who said he wasn't interested just now?" Fujiwara Yuu saw that Hattori was a little anxious, so he didn't continue to tease the child and said bluntly, "His name is Kudo Shinichi, and he aspires to become the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era. You better work hard, Hattori."
"Tsk, what's so great about that? I can just become Conan Doyle!"
Conan.
When hearing the first two words, Fujiwara Yu was slightly stunned, obviously thinking of the "Edogawa Conan" who had not been found until now.
Thinking of this name, he wondered why he hadn't found anything after searching for so long. He even suspected that Ariadna had given him a false clue.
Fujiwara Yuu didn't understand why Hattori Heiji wanted to become Conan Doyle, because he had previously learned that his favorite author was Ellery Queen, so he casually asked:
"Why Conan Doyle?"
"Because Conan Doyle is Sherlock Holmes's father! Hehe!"
“…”
Fujiwara Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly. He never thought that Hattori actually wanted to be the father of someone his own age. Adolescent boys nowadays are really weird. He didn't know where this hobby of always wanting to be someone else's father came from.
As time went by, more and more people came to take a bath after dinner. Fujiwara Yu, who has always been a mysophobe and doesn't like to squeeze in the same pool with strangers, left early and did not forget to take another shower before leaving.
When he dried his hair and walked out of the locker room, he saw Hattori Heiji standing next to the vending machine, already gulping down the cold milk in the glass bottle - sometimes he really wanted to sigh that the Japanese stomachs were really good at times like this.
If you have a sensitive stomach, you should go to the toilet.
Fujiwara Yu reached out to take the cold milk handed to him by Hattori Heiji and drank it slowly in small sips. After all, if you don't drink milk in a glass bottle after taking a hot spring bath, it's like you haven't taken a bath at all, just like eating fried chicken without a carbonated drink is like eating nothing.
Of course, this is a fallacy without any scientific basis.
"Brother Takashi, can I share a room with you tonight? The school has arranged a large dormitory, and those guys will snore at night and I can't sleep at all." After saying this, Hattori Heiji shook the empty milk bottle in his hand, as if to say, I have already treated you to milk, and in return you should take me in for a night.
Fujiwara Yu had been staying at the Hattori household during his stay in Osaka, so naturally he wouldn't refuse such a small request. Besides, he was on vacation today, and White had already assigned all the intelligence gathering tasks to him, so it wouldn't be inconvenient for Hattori to stay with him.
After Fujiwara Yu put the empty milk bottle in the recycling area, he took out the old-fashioned door lock key from the bamboo basket where his personal belongings were placed. He didn't know if it was a "professional habit", but he always felt that the security measures of Japanese-style inns were very poor. He could pry open this lock in less than five seconds.
"Then I'll reluctantly take you in for a day."
"Hey, Brother Yingsi, tell me about your time in the police academy tonight. Dad told me you graduated from the Tottori Prefecture Police Academy. Why did you end up going to Tottori Prefecture to attend the academy? Wouldn't it be better to go to Osaka or Tokyo?"
