Chapter 2870 2882 [Dinner] Request for monthly ticket ()
Just when everyone thought Calvados had escaped, another voice came from the side.
——Conan was forced to shut up, but his friend, Hattori Heiji, hadn't yet.
Hattori Heiji looked at Cavados and said, "It's not strange to work part-time to experience life, but you were almost beaten to death by the murderer yesterday, and today you came to the banquet as if nothing happened... Come to think of it, why didn't you go to the inspection headquarters to take a statement? You are an important witness at the second murder scene."
Vodka: “…” I almost forgot, the little minions are shut up, but there is still a black minions here!
And if I remember correctly, this black henchman is the son of the chief of the Osaka police, and the girl next to him is also the daughter of a high-ranking police official... As expected, after Tokyo, Osaka is gradually becoming a playground for that thing.
It seems that I should try to avoid business trips here in the future.
While Vodka was secretly planning his career, he remembered something and glanced at Calvados: If this guy is unfortunately exposed... then he must get away from him as soon as possible and sever his relationship with him.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Calvados snort coldly: "What does it have to do with you whether I write a statement or not? You are an underage kid, and you really think you are a policeman."
“You…!” Hattori Heiji’s fists clenched. He was about to pounce on him, but was stopped by Toyama Kazuha.
Next to him, Conan's eyes twitched as well, feeling as if he had been shot.
Vodka had a straight face and a blank expression: Can't laugh. No matter how much he wanted to laugh, he couldn't laugh - this little brat detective from Osaka didn't care, but if he laughed out loud by accident and was seen by Uzo next to him...
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jiang Xia say to Hattori Heiji: "What this gentleman said makes sense. Let's ask the police to talk to him about the record."
Calvados: “…”
…
Fortunately, until the end, Hattori Heiji didn't have the courage to go to his police uncle for such a trivial matter.
The two sides glared at each other unhappily and went their separate ways.
Vodka keenly discovered that compared to before, Calvados seemed to want to kill Hattori Heiji more than Jiang Xia.
Vodka: "..." Cunning Uzo, he must be using this method to distract Calvados... But to be fair, putting aside the prejudice against Uzo, this trick is very useful. Note it down and learn it next time.
Vodka looked at Calvados while he thought.
On the other side, someone was looking at Hattori Heiji and muttering.
Yuanshan and Ye pulled their friends over and whispered, "Do you think there's something wrong with Heiji?"
"What's wrong?" Suzuki Sonoko was at a loss, "I think he is still the same as before." Still outspoken and fond of arguing with people.
"No." Yuanshan Heye shook her head solemnly. She lowered her voice and said, "A few days ago, Heiji made a sneaky phone call. When I passed by, I heard him say something like 'thank you', 'alone', 'quietly'."
"'Thanks', 'alone', 'quietly'?"
Suzuki Sonoko blinked her eyes, and the words went around in her mind. Suddenly, like a sentence-making game when she was a child, she pieced them together into a sentence. She blurted out, "'Want to thank me? Then come to me quietly in the middle of the night. Remember, you have to be alone.'"
The other two high school girls: “!”
Mao Lilan blushed: "This, this sounds so much like..." It sounds like the beginning of a movie where the heroine and the villain fall in love!
Yuanshan Heye was furious and clenched his fists: "That bastard actually wanted to repay a favor!"
Suzuki Sonoko rubbed her chin like a detective: "Based on my experience, the woman who can be threatened like this must be a very reserved woman. And since it is done 'secretly', there must be a reason why she must avoid people - for example, maybe the woman already has a husband!"
"!!" Yuanshan Heye's pupils trembled. He gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves. "Heiji actually... No, we can't let this go on. I'm going to deal with him right now!"
Suzuki Sonoko quickly stopped her and said, "Wait, this is just our speculation, there is no evidence - how about this, let's go around the venue first and see if there are any poor girls who meet the requirements."
The two high school girls looked at each other, clapped their hands vigorously, linked their arms around each other, and walked away proudly.
Jiang Xia, who came over to eavesdrop, said: "..."
...No, you may have overthought it. These words should be what Hattori Heiji said to Conan after he told Conan that his football idol would be at the opening ceremony of K3 Hotel - "Just be grateful. Come here quietly by yourself and don't disturb others" and so on.
but……
He glanced at the two detective classmates who were gathered in the distance, leaving him alone to discuss the sniper case. Jiang Xia turned his head away silently, pretending that he hadn't heard anything just now.
…
Before the opening ceremony officially begins, there is often a period of blank time for guests attending the dinner to warm up and communicate.
Toyama Kazuha and Suzuki Sonoko hit it off and went to patrol the venue to find someone. Calvados also picked up a glass of wine, intending to find an opportunity to approach and observe the target reporter.
Jiang Xia finally went to the two high school detectives. Vodka looked around and found that the dangerous elements had scattered and the whole venue was filled with the smell of Uzo.
"What should I do? Should I run to the corner like Calvados and observe from the dark?"
As soon as this thought came to mind, it was extinguished by vodka - no. As we all know, unless it is a large-scale damage like an explosion, it is much safer to be in a brightly lit place with many sights than to hide in a corner.
On the horrific stage created by Uzo, he had seen many stage actors who died when they were left alone, and he absolutely could not become one of them.
"In other words, it's safest to stay here. Also, to avoid explosions, I'd better stay next to Jiang Xia."
Having come to this conclusion rationally, Vodka bravely took a step towards Jiangxia.
Then he stopped silently, retracted his legs and returned to his original position.
Vodka: “…”
He understood the principle, but being so close to Uzo made him feel uncomfortable.
"Besides, there's not only Uzo there, but also two of his minions." Vodka muttered to himself, "If I go over there now, I'll definitely be caught and asked about Calvados. Maybe that kid will even try to pull out a hair of mine, just like he did to me last time at the station."
Thinking of this, Vodka finally gave up the idea.
Then he rolled his eyes, compromised, and walked in another direction... and finally stopped next to Mao Lilan as if nothing had happened.
