Conan's other self

Early the next morning.

Dr. Ali's house.

"I want to compete with this little drunkard in reasoning?"

Looking at Edogawa Conan lying on the bed smelling of alcohol, Hattori Heiji asked.

Because he thought that the kid named Conan might wake up at any time, he didn't go back to Osaka, but he didn't expect that he would have to wait for three days.

And finally waited until the kid woke up... but after not seeing him all night, he got drunk again.

Conan was indeed drunk.

Last night, Conan wanted to see if drinking Baigan Liquor could change him back again, so he drank the bottle of Baigan Liquor he got from Maori's house.

He even kindly left a cup for Feng Yuan.

But Fengyuan didn't drink.

"...whose reason do you think this is?"

"I did it to cure his cold! Besides, you can't blame me this time, right? I think this kid is a born alcoholic!"

The two left the bedroom, and Hattori Heiji continued: "Forget it, let's ignore him for now. I say, Kudo! I have been living here for three or four days, and if this continues, your woman will not like me -"

"That's because you bring alcohol to Uncle Maori every day. Also, I'm not Shinichi's brother."

"——So," Hattori pretended not to hear, "When will the game you mentioned wait until? I don't have time to waste it here all the time."

"It'll be ready soon." Fengyuan sat on the sofa.

"Oh? Tell me!" Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up and he sat across from Feng Yuan.

"Before that, I have to explain something," Fengyuan thought for a moment before speaking, "Because Brother Shinichi is not here——"

"hehe."

"——So Conan and I helped sort out the letters at his home. When I went over to check last night, I found a letter addressed to Brother Shinichi—he allowed me to open it and read it."

Maplehara took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Hattori Heiji.

"Moritani Teiji? I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."

After looking at the signature, Hattori Heiji opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter.

The content of the letter is as follows:

"It's very presumptuous to write this letter to you suddenly. But to be honest, it was only after I saw you, a high school detective, on TV and in newspapers that I thought that if I had the honor, I would like to be with you. Let’s meet and ask you some questions.

By the way, I will host a garden tea party with afternoon tea for celebrities from all walks of life at 3:30 pm on Tuesday, April 29th. If you have time by then, I hope you can come and give me some advice. "

"Tsk, this guy is so polite to you." Hattori Heiji put down the letter, "Then what? Is this just an invitation to you for tea?"

"I invited Shinichi-nii to have tea." Maplehara corrected, "And he also said that he wanted to ask Shinichi-nii, a high school detective, for advice - Hattori-nii, you are also a high school detective, right?"

"Indeed, it makes sense."

Hattori Heiji thought for a moment.

Inviting a detective whom you have never met before to meet is probably because you have an important commission. Hattori can naturally do what Kudo can do.

"Okay! I agree! But Kudo," Hattori Heiji looked at Fengyuan curiously, "How can you go to an appointment like this? Can you change back at any time?"

"Brother Shinichi can't leave and has no time to go." Maplehara ignored Hattori's questions, "Conan and I will go for him."

That was how it was settled.

Since there were only two days left before the appointment, Hattori Heiji thought about it and decided to continue living at Maori's house, so he called his family and his childhood sweetheart to tell him how many days it would take before he could go back.

By the time he finished the call, it was almost noon.

Hattori only left one sentence: "That woman is really talkative" and rushed back to the Maori Detective Agency, planning to shamelessly ask Uncle Maori to take him in again.

In the evening, Conan finally woke up.

He was a little disappointed that he couldn't change back again, but thinking about it, even if he changed back, within a few minutes, he could reconcile with reality a little bit.

After eating some bread to fill his stomach, Conan sat on the sofa and waited for the takeaway.

Then noticed the letter on the coffee table.

"Oh, by the way, yesterday's letter..."

When Feng Yuan got the letter back last night, he was already drinking wine, so he asked Feng Yuan to open it directly.

After shaking his head in an attempt to wake himself up, Conan picked up the letter and read it.

"Maplehara, do you know who Moritani Teiji is?"

"This is what Dr. Agasa, a professor at the Department of Architecture at Toto University and one of the leading architects in Japan, said."

"Why would such a famous architect invite me...us?"

"I don't know. Maybe he has a grudge against us?"

"Well…"

After discussing it, the two decided that it would be better for an adult to take them to such an occasion.

Hattori Heiji was only a high school student, so Conan decided to call Uncle Mori and Xiaolan to take them with him.

night.

Maori Detective Agency.

"Xinyi!" Mao Lilan said happily.

"Kudo!?" Hattori Heiji, who was discussing wine with Uncle Mori, turned his head instantly.

"Wait a minute, Shinichi!" Mao Lilan said quickly, then quickly turned sideways, covered the phone, and looked at Hattori warily.

"Hey! Is that the phone number of that guy Kudo?"

"So what!" Mao Lilan said, "Xinyi and I have something to say, so I won't give you the phone!"

Hattori Heiji's thoughts changed rapidly.

That guy Kudo is obviously in the body of a child, and his voice is also that of a child, but he can actually call his woman with his original voice... I don't know how he did it, wait, let's put it this way, that guy is now...

"Don't worry, I won't fight for your phone," Hattori Heiji said as he ran out. "By the way, that guy rarely calls back, so remember to chat with him more! Please!"

Seeing Hattori Heiji running out at lightning speed, Mao Lilan felt relieved a little.

"It's really baffling...Shinichi! Are you still there?"

"Yes, Xiaolan. What happened just now?"

"It's nothing, it's just the high school detective named Hattori whom I told you last time..."

She said it was nothing, but Xiaolan still complained for a long time. These days, that guy got a bunch of wine from nowhere, and it all became her father's collection.

After waiting for a while, Conan found the opportunity to mention the tea party.

"Have afternoon tea?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"Yes," Conan said, "I happen to have a case to investigate, so I really have no way to participate..."

"You mean you want me to attend instead of you?"

"Well, the invitation says that you are welcome to invite friends to go with you. I also mentioned it to Conan and those two brats Maplehara, so it's just you, uncle and them going together!"

"Not going."

"Thank you, I have put the invitation letter in your mailbox...ah?"

"I said... I'm not going!" Mao Lilan said angrily, "Really, you finally called me and asked me for something."

"Hey, hey, we just had a fight, and we even met -"

"Yes? I don't remember." Mao Lilan snorted, "But! It's not impossible if you want me to promise you, but you have to promise me a condition."

"condition?"

"Yes, I want you to promise me to go to a midnight movie with me next Sunday."

"Huh!?"

"What does it matter? We didn't even talk much when we met last time. Besides, Shinichi, you were already nearby, right? Let's meet in the lobby of Mihua Cinema City at ten o'clock in the evening?"

"Wait, wait a minute, Xiaolan, it's not convenient on Sunday, can you come a few days earlier -"

"No! We must meet on May 3rd!" Mao Lilan said in a tone that could not be refuted, and then her tone softened, "Hey, Shinichi, do you like red or blue?"

…

Maple Plains side.

In Dr. A Li's laboratory, the doctor was tinkering with his new invention wearing funny glasses, while Kaede sat quietly at his work station and sorted out experimental data.

Outside the house, Hattori Heiji gasped and stopped.
