Chapter 3147 3159 [The Secret of Tattoo]
Conan had long been accustomed to Jiang Xia staying on the shore when they went to play by the water, but now that Hattori Heiji said this, it seemed a bit strange.
Hattori Heiji lowered his voice: "Many underground organizations have tattoos. Do you think Jiang Xia has already joined, so he doesn't want to show his tattoo?"
Conan listened with bated breath at first, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but give Hattori Heiji a blank look: "Are you trying to say that Jiang Xia has joined the Black Organization? If so, why are there always those fly-like guys around him? It's because he hasn't joined that those people are so focused on targeting him."
"That's true." Hattori Heiji scratched his head, his rationality and the sudden idea fighting each other, "But I always feel like we seem to have overlooked something, and he hasn't taken off his shirt yet, which is really a bit strange..."
As they were muttering, a man came towards them menacingly: "What are you doing? Lower the boat!"
The two high school students who were whispering to each other were startled and turned around suddenly. They saw that the person shouting at them was a young man with dark skin wearing shorts and a red vest.
When they saw that the other was wearing red clothes instead of black, they didn't know what they were thinking and they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
On the other side, the man in the red vest noticed that the two guys, one big and one small, were distracted, and he became even angrier. He waded through thigh-high water and rushed to the boat: "There are so many tourists around, this hard boat will hurt people - do you have any common sense and morals?"
Hattori Heiji looked embarrassed: "How could I hit someone? I was pressing it..."
Red vest: "That's the rule at the beach!"
Conan silently jumped off the boat and tugged at Hattori Heiji: "Forget it."
Another lifeguard wearing a blue vest and slightly fat also rushed over after hearing the noise. He patted his colleague on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, just a reminder. Why are you shouting so loudly? What if you scare other guests?"
As he spoke, he looked at Hattori Heiji and tried to smooth things over with a smile: "I'm really sorry, this guy was dumped by his girlfriend recently, and he doesn't like anyone - but he is right, it is not safe for other guests to play on the boat in a place like this."
Hattori Heiji sighed and said, "I understand. I'll put the boat back right away."
Red vest was suddenly reminded of his sad story. He had long forgotten about the boat and snorted, "What do you mean I was dumped? It was obviously me who dumped her!"
The slightly plump man in the blue vest laughed and didn't mention the matter again. He took the boat from Hattori Heiji and said, "Let me help you put it in - dealing with the garbage on the beach is also the job of lifeguards like us."
Hattori Heiji was about to speak when a sarcastic voice suddenly floated over from the shore next to him: "Haha, so you are lifeguards."
"?" The two lifeguards looked back in confusion and saw a bald, bearded, dark-skinned middle-aged man lying on the shore basking in the sun like an expensive boiled egg.
The two sides looked at each other, and the middle-aged man smiled maliciously: "I thought you were fishermen, it seems I was wrong - but you are right, rather than being a bad fisherman with no skills and no fish, it is better to run to the land to pick up garbage and make a living."
Hattori Heiji looked around and whispered to Conan: "They should know each other..."
Before he could finish, the irritable red vest turned around, glared at the man and said angrily: "A lousy fisherman with no skills? - We can't catch any fish, it's all because of you, a bastard!"
"Okay, stop talking." The man in the blue vest stopped his companion and looked at Aramaki Yoshiichi with a serious face, "Mr. Aramaki, as agreed, we will be at the Dongfeng Building of the Queen's Hotel at 8 o'clock tonight to welcome you - see you then."
The red vest poked its head out and said, "Don't be afraid to go!"
Araki Yiyi waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I will go, just wash your necks and wait for me."
The three men seemed to be fishermen, and they spoke in loud voices, so many people could hear them.
Among them, of course, are the three Tokyo high school students who are basking in the sun.
Suzuki Sonoko stretched her neck to look over here, and when she heard the location, her eyes lit up and she turned to Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan and said, "Let's go eat there tonight!"
——A mediocre dinner is meaningless no matter how good it is. But if you add a tense negotiation as an afterthought...
"Will they fight?" Mao Lilan was thinking about something else. She said worriedly, "If so, maybe we can help to stop them."
…
In any case, although their purposes were different, the three of them quickly reached an agreement and determined the location for today's dinner.
Kogoro Mori doesn't care about these things, as long as he has food and drink.
Although Conan and Hattori Heiji muttered "What's so good about this?", their bodies were honest enough to follow them to the restaurant and chose a convenient position for eavesdropping.
Soon, the appetizers were served.
Jiang Xia picked up a few pieces of peanuts with his chopsticks, and suddenly saw a person walking in from the door - it was the grumpy man in the red vest during the day.
The man in the red vest glanced around the restaurant and his eyes fell on their table, or to be more precise, he looked at Hattori Heiji.
Hattori Heiji was also looking at the door. When the two sides looked at each other, he couldn't help but think of the conflict in the daytime and suddenly became alert: "What are you doing?"
"It's you." The man in the red vest obviously recognized me. He laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to bring up old grudges. It's just that I rarely see people darker than me. Do you often go out to sea, too?"
As he said that, he walked to the table, looked at Hattori Heiji's hand, and hissed, "There are indeed calluses, but the position is a little different from ours... Is your fishing posture wrong?"
"?" Hattori Heiji's eyebrows jumped, "Your posture is wrong - I am doing kendo! A medal left over from kendo practice!"
"I see." The man in the red vest scratched his head and awkwardly changed the subject. "What time is it now? My phone got soaked in water the day before yesterday, and it's been turning on and off by itself these past two days. The time is always wrong."
Jiang Xia looked at his watch: "7:12."
The red vest sighed, "It's so early, no wonder I didn't see anyone."
He pulled out a stool from the next table, sat down and looked at the menu.
Seeing this, Suzuki Sonoko also took the menu back and muttered to a few classmates: "Let's order a few more cold dishes. It seems like they are going to quarrel for a long time."
"What kind of quarrel?" Red vest heard it with sharp ears and snorted coldly, "We just want to teach that guy a lesson on the rules of the beach."
