Chapter 1118 1126 [Okiya Subaru: Stay away from my house! ]
It was fun to go shopping, and it was even more pleasant to meet three high school students.
But Vermouth remembered those annoying FBI agents who were staring at her and didn't stay here any longer.
——After we get rid of those guys, we’ll come back and have fun with the kids.
Disguised as a "new doctor," she followed the car to the Metropolitan Police Department to take a statement.
It just so happened that her car also needed maintenance.
…
Case solved.
After this incident, the "running errands activity" at Teitan Elementary School could not continue.
Conan yawned, feeling as if he had forgotten something but couldn't remember it for a moment.
But next to him, another person didn't forget at all.
Jiang Xia brought Conan back home who wanted to go home to rest. At the same time, he turned to look at Mao Lilan and said, "Go play with Hattori and the others."
Then he looked down at Conan again and said, "Call your brother Hattori - I saw that you two have always gotten along well in the past few times, so you should have a very good relationship."
Conan: “…”
I forgot this...
He sighed and had to take out his cell phone and dial Hattori Heiji, intending to trick him over to come together... No, how could it be called tricking? It's just that he hadn't seen him for a long time and he missed him a little.
…
While waiting for the call to be answered, Conan was secretly planning his words in his mind, wondering how he would explain it if Hattori Heiji asked him "Is Jiang Xia here?"
However, no one picked up the phone until the ringing stopped.
"..." Conan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered something and turned to look at Jiang Xia, "Hattori is a great detective after all... Did he guess that you asked me to make the call, so he pretended not to hear it?"
Jiang Xia: “…”
Mao Lilan was quite dissatisfied with the black-skinned detective's behavior. She took out her cell phone and said, "It's okay. I'll call He Ye. They came here together and should still be together now."
Jiang Xia then looked at her expectantly again.
…
After dozens of seconds.
Under the inquiring gaze of two pairs of eyes, Maolilannen moved the phone away from her ear.
“No one answered.”
After a pause, she suddenly had a bad feeling and said worriedly, "Will something happen? - He Ye will not help Hattori hide from us. She even refused to answer the phone..."
Jiang Xia thought about it and his eyes fell on Conan.
——Hattori Heiji is coming to Tokyo, and the first person he will contact will definitely be Conan.
"I remember that in the email sent by Hattori at the station just now, he said that he had an appointment with other people to discuss something - maybe they were discussing something important, so they muted their phones, or maybe something unexpected happened."
Jiang Xia said, and sighed: "It would be nice to know more details. I heard that Kudo has a good relationship with Hattori. I wonder if Kudo has heard anything from him."
"!!"
Conan was most afraid that someone would mention "Kudo Shinichi" in front of Mao Lilan. He waved his hands in panic: "Probably not. When I was in contact with Shinichi brother a while ago, I heard him say that Heiji brother has been hiding some things from him recently, especially about solving cases. Maybe he was afraid that he would leak information..."
"All right."
Jiang Xia looked away from Conan in disappointment.
But soon, he thought of another person.
Jiang Xia took out his cell phone and flipped through the address book, his eyes lit up slightly: "I almost forgot, I saved the phone numbers of Mrs. Hattori and Mr. Hattori before - maybe they have some clues."
Conan: "..." Mrs. Hattori and Mr. Hattori?
...Are you referring to Hattori Heiji's parents?
The Hattori family has been infiltrated by Jiang Xia's forces to this extent...
Conan recalled the miserable appearance of Hattori Heiji who had tried to avoid Jiang Xia several times but was defeated repeatedly, and he belatedly understood the reason.
Speaking of which, compared to the somewhat impulsive Hattori Heiji, Jiang Xia does give a better impression among the elders. He looks gentle and reliable... Hiss, it's a good thing that my parents are not like that... Well, probably.
Mao Lilan didn't think too much about it. She was a little worried about the two friends who had lost contact, and looked anxiously at Jiang Xia who was on the phone, hoping that he could ask for some clues.
…
Jiang Xia did find out some news:
"Kazuha's father, Toyama Ginjiro, once had a subordinate named Kusukawa Taro. That man has now resigned and is working at the Haido Detective Agency."
Toyama Ginjiro and Hattori Heizo are close superiors and subordinates. They talk about everything when they chat, including this situation.
"A few days ago, Kusukawa Taro wrote an email to Toyama Ginjiro, saying that he had something important to discuss with him, and then there was no news. Hattori said that he had something urgent to deal with, so this was probably what he was referring to."
Conan nodded, his mentality was quite calm - he and Hattori Heiji were both high school detectives, and Hattori Heiji's fighting ability was even higher than his. Just as Conan had always been very confident in himself, he was also very confident in Hattori Heiji.
He didn't think anything would happen to Hattori Heiji, but he secretly guessed: Hattori might have encountered some difficult case, so he used "business" as an excuse and asked Toyama Kazuha to accompany him to silence their phones so that he could hide the case and investigate it secretly by himself.
Conan: “…” It would be fine if you kept it a secret from Jiang Xia, but why did you hide it from the reliable Kudo Shinichi?
...Does he look like the kind of biased classmate who would tell on Jiang Xia?
Humph, in that case. This time he supported Jiang Xia - find Hattori as soon as possible and take over his case to investigate together.
…
For various reasons, the three of them quickly reached an agreement.
Based on the information provided by Hattori's father, they took the train to the Haido Detective Agency.
…
It is different from the sparsely populated "Amuro Detective Agency" and "Mori Detective Agency".
The Beihu Detective Agency is larger in scale, with ordinary offices inside, and each workstation belongs to a busy detective.
Unfortunately, Taro Kusukawa was not among them.
The bald uncle who was being addressed touched his shiny head and frowned: "Nanchuan? Why is another one coming to see him?"
Jiang Xia looked at his watch, and at the same time, he grasped the key words accurately: "Again? Has anyone come to see him before?"
"Yes, it's also a high school detective like you, with a high school girl, just missing a child." The uncle touched Conan's head.
Conan's eyes twitched and he wanted to dodge.
However, thinking that there were still questions to ask, he endured the humiliation and showed a child's innocent smile: "Uncle, do you know where they went?"
"I didn't notice. I'm not very familiar with Nanchuan. And it was Noda who received them at that time." The bald uncle thought for a while, "Noda went to deliver the task report to the client. He will be back soon. You can ask him later."
…
It would be more cost-effective to wait for the "Noda Detective" instead of searching blindly.
There happened to be a coffee shop nearby, so a few people went there instead of waiting in the busy detective agency.
On the way, Mao Lilan looked around and said to Jiang Xia belatedly, "Huh? Isn't this the neighborhood we just came to?"
