Conan's other self

Hattori Heiji calmed his breathing, and then used his mobile phone to confirm again that the call to Mori's house would still be busy, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although his behavior in the office showed that he wanted to find out what Kudo looked like, he was not sure whether the young lady would realize this and cooperate with him.

But now it seems there is still a chance.

The lights in the house are on.

Hattori Heiji did not walk in directly, but leaned forward and looked inside.

No one was inside.

But Hattori Heiji didn't panic.

In the morning, he was taken around the laboratory by Dr. Ali, so he knew there was a phone there, but he didn't know the number. That's probably where Kudo called his woman.

And as long as he catches Kudo, that annoying boy will have nothing to say!

Hattori Heiji opened the door, slipped into the house, and then tiptoed towards the location in his memory, arriving outside the laboratory door.

He was not sure that Kudo was inside, and he didn't seem to hear any phone calls outside the door - but this was just a costless attempt.

After recalling the location of the phone and other furnishings in the room, and thinking that it wouldn't be a big deal if they were discovered, Hattori turned on the recording function on his phone, then held his breath and carefully opened the door a crack.

Then…

"Hattori brother?"

The voice behind him was soft but close.

Hattori Heiji was unprepared and was startled. He bumped into the door that had been opened and fell directly into the room.

Then Dr. Ali, who was startled by the movement, dropped the props in his hand and looked back.

"Yes…"

"Hattori Heiji."

Maplehara walked over from Hattori Heiji and reminded the doctor in a low voice.

"Oh... Hattori!" Dr. Ari breathed a sigh of relief, "What are you doing?"

"I..." Hattori Heiji stood up, "I am... I just want to see your invention, Dr. Agasa!"

"Really? I didn't expect you kid to be so discerning!" Dr. Ali's eyes lit up, "Come on, let me show you something you must have never seen before... Where did I put it?"

Dr. A Li muttered as he walked to the box in the corner and started rummaging through it. Hattori Heiji wiped the sweat that was not on his forehead, quickly looked around the room, and then looked at Maplehara.

Maplehara's eyes fell on Hattori's left hand.

This was how Kudo guided the fat police officer that day. Hattori Heiji was thinking to himself, but he couldn't help but follow his gaze - and then he noticed that the phone he was holding was still in the recording interface.

"..."

He ended the recording awkwardly and put his phone back into his pocket. The next second, he hurriedly took out his phone again and made a call to Maori's family directly in front of Fengyuan.

Still busy.

Isn't this wrong?

Hattori Heiji glanced at Maplehara a few more times.

"Oh, here it is! Found it!" Dr. Ali said, "Come on, come on, let me show you this. You must have never seen it before..."

It is a very happy thing to be recognized for one's creation, especially for Dr. A Li.

However, he was not too proud. He still remembered Maplehara's reminder to him and did not expose the detective props Conan and Maplehara were using.

So Hattori Heiji had no choice but to admire the mantis-shaped robot that was useless at first glance, and then found an opportunity to get close to Maplehara.

"Hey, Kudo," Hattori Heiji glanced at Dr. Agasa among the emergency repair items and whispered to Maplehara, "How did you do that?"

"What?"

"I'm here, but I can call your woman."

"Because I'm not."

"Also, how did you make your original voice?"

"Why don't you think about it," Fengyuan sighed, "I'm really not Shinichi's brother?"

"Do you think you look like a child?" Hattori Heiji said, "Kazuha looks more like a primary school student than you!"

"...Who is Heye?"

"A verbose woman you don't recognize - forget it, next question, when did you find me?"

"When we first came in."

Hattori Heiji was silent for a moment, "...you have such good hearing?"

"Yes. So I did hear that uncle's cry that day." Fengyuan said, and then looked at Hattori Heiji with curious eyes, "By the way, didn't Sister Xiaolan tell you? On that day, Xin Brother Yi also went to see Sister Xiaolan."

…

Conan made the call from outside.

Except for the hurried first time, when he or Fengyuan called Xiaolan, he always went to a phone booth outside to avoid exposing his phone address.

It is worth mentioning that the mobile phone card belonging to Kudo Shinichi was placed with Conan, but it was rarely used to avoid exposure.

By the time Conan came back from the phone call, Hattori Heiji had already returned to the Mori Office to check with Ran to confirm Kudo's situation that day.

Feng Yuan sat on the sofa, "Is the phone call over?"

"Well." Conan took a can of juice from the refrigerator, "I don't know what happened to Xiaolan, but she just said something about it and didn't let me hang up. Fortunately, I was smart and said that there was a case. Just sent her away."

"I told her about having afternoon tea, and she agreed...but-"

Conan paused.

Feng Yuan just waited.

Not receiving any compliments like "nothing", Conan continued: "However, she wants me to accompany her to a midnight movie on Sunday, May 3rd."

"oh."

"Oh what! How am I going to get there!" Conan laid his head back on the sofa and scratched his hair irritably, "Really, we just met a few days ago, and you still say we haven't seen each other in a long time-- It must be May 3rd!

Midnight show... So what she cares about is the 4th. Is there anything special about it? It couldn't be the day when Holmes and Moriarty fell into the Reichenbach Falls, right? "

"..."

"Fengyuan, what about you? Have you thought of anything?"

"Birthday?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that it was his birthday.

Then…

"Really, it's just a birthday, why don't you just make a phone call or give me a gift? You have to cause trouble to others," Conan complained, but his face was a little red, "So... what should I do?"

It was obviously not possible to go back to Shinichi to go to the appointment. Maybe he has developed an antibody to a certain component in Baigan wine. Anyway, no matter how much he drinks, he can't change back.

Feng Yuan thought for a moment, "If Hattori guy wears a mask, he looks quite similar to us. Dark spots on his skin won't be a big problem in the cinema..."

"no!"

Conan immediately rejected it.

"What if they held hands in the movie theater or something?"

That guy Hattori can't stand just sleeping next to Uncle Mori! Conan thought to himself, and then hesitated, "Maplehara... Baigan wine should also be useful to you, right?"
