Chapter 230 Twenty-four Gachapon

The Boy Detective Team and the boys and girls from Osaka were walking on the road towards the swimming pool.

Hattori Heiji looked up at the sky and started to think again about why he was here... Mainly because the children said mysteriously that they were going to explore the back after they came out. If he hadn't heard it and quickly grabbed the hood of the little rice ball-head, the three of them would have disappeared.

The scene where the three little kids are scolded by Conan Edogawa until they can't raise their heads is also very interesting, especially when Conan takes a breath after scolding for a while and the children try to refute, the brown-haired little girl next to him will suddenly say a few very sharp words, and the children will immediately be scared and wilted, standing still obediently and listening to Conan's second round of scolding.

Phew, just thinking about it is enough to make him laugh for another couple of rounds.

In short, after pulling back the children who were about to run away, Conan and Ai discussed it and agreed to the proposal to go to the swimming pool. Kazuha, who got along well with the children, was worried, so she dragged her childhood sweetheart to follow.

"By the way, did the idea of ​​your team come from the group of street kids around Holmes?"

They had already chatted for quite some time on the way here, so naturally Hattori and the other two knew about the existence of the children's "Junior Detective Team", so it wouldn't be too abrupt to ask this question on a whim at this time.

"Hey, does Brother Heiji like Sherlock Holmes too?" Conan, who was originally vaguely wary of Hattori Heiji, instantly lost his hostility and spoke with anticipation.

"Ah? No, I still like Elle Queen more than Conan Doyle, and when it comes to mystery novels, I recommend "The Tragedy of Y"! " Hattori Heiji shook his index finger and said excitedly.

The originally cheerful little detective's expression suddenly changed. He snorted with his crescent eyes and said unconvincedly, "...Sherlock Holmes is the best."

The detectives, one big and one small, looked at each other, then turned their heads away, with overlapping thoughts.

As expected, I still find this guy very unpleasant!

That is, during the chat, they gradually followed the housekeeper's instructions and walked around the green path. The first thing that caught their eyes was a large blue swimming pool and a girl who was lazily floating on an inflatable bed in the pool, seemingly basking in the sun.

Judging from her age, this person should be the young lady Yuri Tsuji that the butler mentioned earlier.

The boys from the Junior Detective Team immediately started discussing in a low voice, and Hattori Heiji could vaguely hear them saying topics like "Wow, what a pretty sister" and "Won't she be cold?"

He was also looking in that direction intently, and couldn't help frowning as he looked.

So strange...

"Ah, Kazuha, what are you doing!" Detective Osaka covered his pinched face and looked at his childhood sweetheart in confusion and shock.

"Heiji, how long are you going to stare at that girl's breasts?" Heye said unhappily, disapprovingly, "This is very rude."

The boy's dark-skinned face was flushed red, and he lowered his voice in embarrassment: "What nonsense! I'm looking at this sister's tattoos! Tattoos!"

He Ye's eyes turned into dotted ones in an instant: "Tattoo, what's wrong with tattoo?"

Because it's really weird.

According to what the housekeeper said before, this young lady is still a high school student and should be catching up on her homework at this time. But she actually appeared in the swimming pool. It had just rained and the sun was just so-so. The temperature in the mountains in April is still not very high. This young lady actually came out in a swimsuit to "sunbathe"?

Of course, what puzzled Heiji the most was her tattoo, just as he said... Would a 16- or 17-year-old high school girl have a large tattoo of a crow from her chest to her neck? And it didn't look cool at all, and it was a grayish crow.

If it weren't for some special reason, he thought, the young lady's aesthetic taste would be a little disappointing.

What Hattori Heiji didn't notice was that the children who were gathered together and discussing enthusiastically did not include Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara. These two pseudo-children hid reflexively when they saw the crow.

In their previous intelligence exchange, Conan had already learned that crow is a synonym for the organization. When combined with the fact that Shozo Tsuji had brought in members of the organization, Toru Amuro and Hikaru Midorikawa, the young detective reasonably suspected that the owner of this manor might really be related to the organization.

Detectives never believe in coincidences.

The information that Haibara Ai provided after careful recollection made Conan more certain of his reasoning.

"I didn't sense the organization's aura from that young lady, but..." The former genius researcher said with a cold face, his expression and tone were equally serious, "I remember that the surname Tsuji was on the list of investors of the research institute I once worked for."

It seems that the presence of the member of the organization who pretended to be Dr. Shinde and Mr. Amuro was premeditated by the other party. Maybe it was some conspiracy of the organization.

—On the other side, Mr. Amuro covered the lower half of his face, holding back the sudden urge to sneeze, and his expression was a little distorted for a moment.

"Amnesia?"

Although the detective's words were completely unexpected and highly credible, they didn't believe everything the detective said.

"Hey, how can you only remember Xiao Xiangu's name? What about me?" A black-haired, purple-eyed police officer who looked like a large dog had already stuck to the detective's side very familiarly, and his tone was so natural that it seemed like he was acting coquettishly, "So Xiao Nanyue has remembered your own name now, right? Use mine next time~"

The picture of a man over 1.9 meters tall acting coquettishly - to be honest, it's quite cute. After all, the man is Hagiwara, who is quite good-looking, and the person being acted coquettishly also has beautiful facial features.

No, that's not the point! Hagiwara, wake up a little, why did you believe it? Think about it calmly, amnesia could be an excuse, maybe the other party wants to use this method to find out who "Furuya Rei" is...

As soon as Toru Amuro came up with this idea, he heard Matsuda Jinpei's lazy voice: "Ah, I told you this guy has lost his memory, Hagi you lose, two meals, no negotiation."

"Damn it, I thought Xiao Nayue just wanted to stop Xiao Zhenping and I from investigating something dangerous..."

"If that's the case, given his personality, he would never show up in front of us." Matsuda Jinpei sneered, clenching his fists, "Just like the past seven years... aka, you guys are basically faking your death. You didn't give us any news for seven years, no wonder you even have a tombstone."

After being attacked by two consecutive sneak attacks, Toru Amuro closed his eyes, forced a smile, and said to Jinpei Matsuda beside him with gritted teeth: "Officer Matsuda, can you please let go...? You are holding my hand."

After being reminded by him, Matsuda snorted and calmly let go of his hand as if nothing had happened.

Morobushi Jingguang, who remained silent the whole time as he was thinking about something and didn't say much, tried to hold back his laughter, but still couldn't help laughing, and then received the look of disbelief and accusation from his childhood friend.

The undercover investigator with raised eyes put his fist to his lips and cleared his throat, trying hard to stop laughing: "Sorry, I just think that you and Officer Matsuda have a good relationship."

One sentence offended two people, but the one who spoke was Hiro.

Matsuda Jinpei and Amuro Toru looked at each other consciously, then looked away in disgust.

After all, after knowing each other for so many years, they are no longer the young boys who would make appointments for fights in the middle of the night when they were in the police academy. Their personalities have become more mature and stable.

This is mainly reflected in the fact that the two did not mock each other out loud, but just moved to the side and kept a distance from each other, to prove that everything Kuromobushi Kagemitsu said was wrong.

This action made the latter want to laugh again.

Morofushi Jingguang looked at the detective who was leaning against the railing and was obviously distracted. His expression softened a little and he even began to consider another problem.

In the past, Akae-san only allowed them to call him that, but they all had their own names for the child in private, such as 'little Nazuki' by Hagiwara and 'little devil' by Matsuda. Even though Zero still seems unwilling to believe that the detective is Nazuki, he knows this point better than anyone else.

After all, it was Zero who first called out the nickname aka.

Therefore, Morofushi Kagemitsu can actually understand Amuro Toru's feelings. As undercover agents, they cannot trust others easily. In addition, in their previous investigations, they always conducted investigations based on the premise that there was something wrong with the other party. What they can see and feel is definitely not as rich as that of Hagiwara and the other person.

Morobushi Kagemitsu has great confidence in the abilities of his colleagues, especially Matsuda, who seems to be nonchalant about everything but is actually very sharp-minded, and Hagiwara, who has a very high emotional intelligence and observation ability, so good that the Investigation Division almost came to rob him. These two people were able to get along with the detective for so long without any trouble, and they still believed that the detective's identity was correct after seeing the tombstone...

He thought: Either the detective had drugged these two people, or he and Zero were confused while the authorities were confused, and the bystanders were clear.

Perhaps he and Zero should also put aside the inherent information of "Akae's death in the line of duty" and observe carefully and come to an answer from the perspective of Akae's friends Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu instead of the undercover Scott and Bourbon.

"But, since Konazuki has lost her memory, why did she think of telling us all this?" Hagiwara Kenji raised his hand and asked like a student with a curious spirit.

When the absent-minded detective focused his attention again, his expression showed a hint of disgust, but in the eyes of others, he looked particularly friendly.

...Because in the past, Akae-san would always look at them with an expression like, 'Are you all idiots?'

"Didn't you write the answers on your faces?" Chijiang Nayue asked back, "I need to regain my memory, so I used that name to find someone who responds to the name."

He didn't say the rest, but several people could hear it, and the situation was a bit awkward for a moment.

Isn't it? Even before the detective showed his face, they were shocked by the name "Furiya Rei" appearing openly. I guess the detective guessed that they were related to him at that time, so he acquiesced to Hagiwara and Matsuda's approach and exploration.

Chijiang Nayue felt relieved when she saw that other people's attention was temporarily diverted again.

He would never tell them that he allowed them to come closer just to see their distorted and funny expressions when they shouted "Furuya" to his face, hmm.

"Wait, you said your mind went blank when you closed your eyes. Could it be that you were picked up by that little detective and taken home, so you pretended to be his brother?" Matsuda suddenly thought of this question, "Where did he meet you?"

They didn't ask the detective what the memory was. After all, it was obvious from the detective's face that he didn't recognize them. The detective himself didn't know what happened to him later, so they wouldn't be able to get anything out of him even if they asked, so they could only leave it alone.

But as long as we know where the detective first appeared after seven years, we may be able to find out the truth behind his disappearance for seven years!

Surrounded in the middle, Chijiang Nayue fell into a suspicious silence.

"..." He said calmly, "In the bathtub."

The air froze for a moment.

Chijiang Nayue looked up at the sky in her heart: There is no way, who told Gachapon brother to come out of the bathtub in the first place? He didn't lie.
