Chapter 3146 3158 [Hattori Heiji's Surprise]
Seeing someone greeting him, Hattori Heiji first subconsciously replied "Hi", but the next moment, his steps froze and his eyes widened.
——Why is this guy here? !
"Jiang Xia!"
The attitude of the short-term companion next to him was completely different from his. Suzuki Sonoko rushed over in surprise: "Long time no see!"
Conan looked at this classmate speechlessly: "..." Long time? Didn't we go to the bookstore together after school a few days ago... Come to think of it, why are you here, to cause trouble?
As he was muttering to himself, suddenly, a pair of black hands reached out from the side and picked him up.
Hattori Heiji shook this fake brother who had no idea what loyalty was: "You sold me out again! How many times has this happened?!"
Conan's glasses almost fell off, and he was dazed and tried to defend himself: "It's not me, it's that director!"
"Director?" Hattori Heiji was stunned. After a moment, he turned around following Conan's direction and found a man with a mustache and bangs in a 3:7 ratio standing not far away.
After looking at him, the man with a mustache chuckled and quickly stepped forward to hand over his business card: "Hello, I'm Taketomi Masao, a staff member of Kyushu TV Station - you still remember me, right? I contacted you by email not long ago."
"It's you..." Hattori Heiji remembered and scratched his head helplessly: it was the critical moment when the Black Organization was carrying out its conspiracy, so he didn't have time to accept any program. It was just that the puzzle the other party mentioned made him a little curious, so he planned to listen carefully and then decide whether to go. But now...
"Agree." Conan whispered to his unfortunate friend, "Jiang Xia has decided to go."
"Jiang Xia is going?" Hattori Heiji blurted out, "Then I won't go."
The program director looked at him and suddenly sighed, "I didn't expect that the rumors in the industry were true. The famous detectives in Kansai don't dare to compete with the famous detectives in Kanto. They are even afraid to the point of running away at the first sign of trouble... Alas, I forced them to do something this time."
"?" Veins on Hattori Heiji's forehead jumped, and he felt guilty for some reason. He shouted, "What do you mean by running away at the first sign of trouble? I asked you, what do you mean by running away at the first sign of trouble?? - I just have other more important things to do, so I'm not that interested in this kind of game show!"
Program Director: "Then this program..."
Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I'll go!"
Conan: “…”
Are you going to fall for such an obvious provocation... But never mind. As I said before, it's better for everyone to act together than to be ambushed by the Black Organization alone.
…
Anyway, we can't just stand at the station forever.
So after the pleasant pick-up activity, the group returned to the beach, ordered some drinks, and started discussing the details of the show.
Maori Kogoro was mixed in with a listless look, hesitant to speak for a moment, he whispered to his daughter: "Where is your mother?"
Mao Lilan thought of her father looking for Usui Ritsuko this morning, and a vein jumped on her forehead: "She is busy with work and has left with those lawyers."
Maori Kogoro sighed, sat on the beach and poked at the sand: "Today is our wedding anniversary... Humph, forget it, it's not a day worth remembering anyway."
Jiang Xia was holding a can, he tilted his head back and took a sip of the fruit wine that looked like a drink, he looked over here when he heard this: "..." He had thought before, if Kisaki Eri and Maori Kogoro reconciled, Conan would not be able to live in Maori's house, would he move to Professor Agasa's house, closer to his own home... But now it seems that this neighbor can only shine in a slightly farther place.
Next to him, the program director chuckled and came over - he had already dealt with two high school detectives, and if he could take down this "sleeping Kogoro" as well, he would have exceeded his mission goal.
"Although Mr. Kogoro has not solved many cases, every case he has solved is a classic, and his way of solving cases is also unique - when he is awake, he talks nonsense, but once he reaches a certain point, he will suddenly fall into a deep sleep as if his soul has left his body, and then he will take a panoramic view of the whole situation and draw a conclusion..."
Although this impressive way of solving cases has aroused some people's doubts, it has undoubtedly attracted some viewers. And quarrels make the show more popular, and no one would complain about the traffic of the show. In addition, the three detectives obviously know each other. If they are packaged into the show, it may have unexpected effects.
Thinking of this, the program director took the opportunity to invite Maori Kogoro: "We have a detective program here. The shooting location is very beautiful and suitable for relaxing. Our investors have a lot of fine wines in the cellar, which are all famous wines that are rarely seen on the market..."
"Good wine?" Maori Kogoro's ears twitched, and his depressed look just now disappeared instantly. He sat up and cleared his throat, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so I'll reluctantly get involved."
…
After the deal was settled, the program director happily went to book the plane ticket.
This place is not too far from the airport and the tickets were booked for the next day, so the group was not in a hurry to leave, but instead skillfully entered vacation mode.
"The air at the seaside is so nice." Suzuki Sonoko stretched and forgot about the sinister things in the popular science society.
She leaned back on the lounge chair, crossed her legs, and planned to admire the handsome guys in swimsuits at the Izu beach. However, after watching for a while, this high school girl with increasingly high aesthetic standards gradually fell silent.
After a moment, Suzuki Sonoko turned her head and looked to the side. She smiled at Jiang Xia who was lying leisurely on the lounge chair and said, "Since we are here, it is easy to get sunburned if we stay on the shore. Why don't we go swim a few laps in the sea?"
Jiang Xia raised his sunglasses, held Noah and looked into the water: "Go ahead, I'll take pictures for you."
"..." Although she had known for a long time that Jiang Xia didn't like to go into the water, the high school girl who made the suggestion still couldn't help but look regretful.
"Can't you swim?" Hattori Heiji heard the noise here and suddenly seemed to think of something. He let out a chuckle, trotted out, and soon dragged back a small boat from somewhere.
"Come on!" Detective Osaka waded in the shallow sea water, patted the boat beside him, and gave Jiang Xia a cunning smile that seemed sincere. "Since we are here, it would be a waste if we don't go into the water. - If you don't like swimming, taking a boat ride is also nice."
As he said this, he picked up Conan next to him and put him into the boat as a demonstration.
Conan's eye twitched: "What are you doing?"
Hattori Heiji whispered, "I've wanted to say this before. Don't you think Jiang Xia's habit is a little strange? - Even people who can't swim usually put on swimsuits when they come to the beach. But look at Jiang Xia, she's covered so tightly... something's wrong, I always feel like something is not right."
