Chapter 2847-2859 [Osaka 3K Incident]
Compared to the troubles of last night, the day seemed extremely peaceful.
In the afternoon, Conan yawned, and then sneezed because of the dust. He rubbed his nose and looked at Dr. Agasa's house, which had been dug up three feet deep: "Where did the disk go?"
Dr. Agasa thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that we took it with us when we went out?"
"How is that possible?"
Conan retorted, and at this moment, there was a ring and his cell phone suddenly vibrated - someone called.
Conan took out his phone and took a look at it, then answered it: "Hattori? What's up? I'm busy right now."
"What are you busy with as a primary school student? Are you doing your homework?" Hattori Heiji's carefree voice came from the other side:
"It's the weekend, relax yourself - I want to ask, when will you come to Osaka? The opening ceremony of that restaurant is the day after tomorrow. If you are late and miss it, don't cry to me."
Speaking of the opening ceremony, even Hattori Heiji was looking forward to it: "If my parents hadn't been unable to go this week, I wouldn't have had a spot to take you there. That restaurant was jointly opened by three celebrities. Many well-known stars were invited to the opening ceremony, and the banquet was very short of seats. I specially reserved a seat for you. How about it? Are you touched?"
"I'm touched." Conan perfunctorily praised him, then couldn't help but said, "But what does this have to do with me? I'm not a fan of celebrities. Even if I wanted to, I could just ask Jiang Xia to help me get an autograph. He occasionally goes to help the TV station record programs. What kind of celebrities can't he meet?"
"You kid..." Hattori Heiji was silent for a moment, and his tone suddenly became suspicious:
"After the fake kidnapping of the new famous writer, did you solve another exciting case behind my back? You actually forgot about the opening ceremony. Didn't I tell you that one of the shareholders of that restaurant is Ray Curtis? Since it's the opening ceremony of his restaurant, of course he will show up there."
Conan: “!!”
...He really forgot!
Ray Cadez, a world-renowned football player, was once called "Europe's Iron Wall". As a high school student who loves football, this player is the idol that Shinichi Kudo has always admired.
Of course, he is also Conan's idol. Although he has shrunk in size, his love for his idol has not changed.
Conan: "..." To be honest, if it weren't for the sudden occurrence of the Itakura Taku case, which in turn implicated a lot of information related to the Black Organization, he would definitely be counting the days, looking forward to going to Osaka to meet the retired idol.
And now...
Hmm? It's not too late now, right?
Although there were still many things in the case of Itakura Taku that he couldn't figure out, his past experience in solving cases told him that blindly thinking was not only useless, but also counterproductive.
——Sometimes it is better to empty your mind and do something you like instead of staying in the same place and getting stuck in a dead end. This way you may inadvertently get clues and solve problems.
"Although Gin and the others didn't see me, people will always revisit their past. If they think back and realize there's a child hiding in the closet, and find me after investigating, things will get complicated."
Conan muttered to himself, "Instead of staying in Tokyo, I might as well go to Osaka to avoid the limelight - instead of trying to chase stars, this is just part of the battle of wits with the Black Organization."
Thinking of this, Conan changed his previous decadent look and jumped up: "I'll go book a ticket now!"
"Hmph, it's good that you know how to be grateful. By the way." Hattori Heiji lowered his voice and instructed stealthily, "Come here quietly by yourself, don't alarm others."
"..." Conan lowered his head and looked at his young body, "Then Xiaolan and Uncle Maori will have to call the police."
Hattori Heiji reacted and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Well, poor little first-year student, remember to bring your guardian when you come. The three of you come quietly - remember, don't bring Jiang Xia!"
Conan nodded in agreement, but then felt something was wrong: "But you have reconciled with Jiang Xia, haven't you?"
Hattori Heiji lowered his voice even more: "Something's been strange in Osaka recently. There was another shooting case yesterday. I always feel that there may be some complicated conspiracy behind these cases. Since we have nothing to do anyway, why don't we join forces and try to help my father solve the case."
After a pause, he felt that it was not very kind to plot behind Jiang Xia's back, so he added reluctantly: "If we really can't solve it, then call Jiang Xia over."
The famous detectives from Kansai and Kanto got together and secretly plotted.
…
Time passed quickly and soon it was time to go home from school.
In the Amuro Detective Agency.
After Jiang Xia distributed the cats and dogs he had picked up today to the ladies, he looked regretfully at the mailbox that did not receive the valid letter of authorization, locked the door and left.
It was still early, so he didn't go home directly. Instead, he took a walk on his way home from school as usual, and then he successfully ran into two of his high school classmates.
The three of them went shopping in the commercial street and bought the new strawberry sesame ice cream.
While chewing on a ball of ice cream with a slightly odd texture, Suzuki Sonoko said to two classmates, "I haven't been out for a while. Let's go to Osaka this weekend. I'm going there to attend a wedding banquet on behalf of my parents, and I don't want to sit at the same table with a bunch of uncles and aunts, where I won't even have anyone to talk to."
"Okay." Mao Lilan flipped through the calendar, "The karate club doesn't have training this weekend, and I just happen to want to eat the desserts from that store in Osaka."
Conan, who had just come to find them, heard this conversation: "..."
...Hattori, you can't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, blame Suzuki Sonoko. It was this woman who led Jiang Xia over there.
While Conan apologized with his hands clasped together in his heart, he decided to keep his mouth shut and not tell Hattori Heiji that Jiang Xia was also going to Osaka, lest the Kansai detective refuse to take him to the restaurant opening ceremony.
"I will pretend that I have never heard what was said just now. If Hattori doesn't ask me, I won't tell him. If he asks me, I will be surprised." Conan nodded secretly. "It's reasonable for me, a primary school student, not to know the schedule of Xiaolan and her classmates, right?"
While thinking, he smoothly joined his three classmates. At the same time, he reached out to take the new type of ice cream that Jiang Xia brought him and started to eat it comfortably.
…
Several high school students are very proactive and will leave as soon as they say they will.
The next morning, they arrived at the station, ready to set off.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the station.
A dusty man in black reviewed his mission book and sighed tiredly.
"I was clearly not at a disadvantage against that little bitch this time." Vodka muttered to himself, "But why doesn't Big Brother want me to return to him right away?"
