Chapter 68 Wallet Suspense (2)
Even though they got up very early, it was already noon when Maplehara, Conan, Xiaolan and Uncle Mouri arrived in Osaka.
Hattori Heiji was waiting for them at the station as he said before.
But he was only a high school student and couldn't drive here, so the group had to go to Tsutenkaku to see the scenery and wait for the person Hattori Heiji said to pick them up.
The view from the top of the pavilion is good, and Hattori Heiji introduced them to Osaka's landmark buildings.
"Over there is the Tennoji Zoo, over there is the Osaka Dome," Hattori Heiji introduced, "Then here is Tsutenkaku. How about it? Osaka is a good place, right?"
"Yeah. The view is also great." Xiaolan said.
"But isn't it the same as Tokyo Tower?" Uncle Maori was used to criticizing.
"No way! Don't confuse it with that boring red iron tower!" Hattori Heiji obviously loves the city where he grew up. "Tsutenkaku Tower and the nearby Shinsekai are full of Osaka people's customs and customs."
Unfortunately, Uncle Maori is not interested in any of this. He just wants to eat, preferably with some wine. "I said, is it time to eat?"
"Wait a moment," Hattori Heiji glanced at his watch, "They should be coming to pick us up soon."
While Uncle Mouri went back to look at the scenery out of boredom, Conan took the opportunity to pull Hattori Heiji aside.
"Hey, Hattori," Conan asked softly, "did you really dream that I was dead?"
"Is this what Kudo told you?"
Conan gave him a dead eye in return.
"...Forget it, Maplehara, Conan, right?" Hattori Heiji himself realized that this was a bit weird, so he had to change his mind, "I didn't dream that you were dead," Hattori Heiji fell into memories for a moment, "I dreamed that you were dead. What I saw was Kudo...the original you who was stabbed in the heart."
"As for whether it's you or him," Hattori Heiji paused, "I don't know."
Conan mused.
"However, I think it should be you," Hattori Heiji chuckled, "After all, you look like a daredevil at first sight."
When this guy was at Morigu Teer's house, he thought that the young lady from the office was at the scene of the explosion, so he hurriedly called the service desk, instead of calling him directly...
Hattori Heiji was thinking in his mind, and Conan replied hehe.
Fengyuan, who was standing next to Xiaolan and looking at the scenery, listened to the conversation between the two and glanced at the corner.
It seems like someone is watching here.
At this time, the people who came to pick them up also arrived.
"Sorry, I'm sorry for being so late." The person who came to pick them up was a young man who looked like a policeman, but was actually a policeman. "I am Yusuke Sakata from the Osaka Prefectural Police Higashijiri Division..."
"What are the police doing here?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment.
"My father enthusiastically said that Mr. Mori has come all the way to Osaka and must be well entertained." Hattori Heiji said, then turned to Sakata Yusuke, "By the way, where is my father? Didn't I promise to come?"
"The chief is in a meeting about the murder case." Sakata Yusuke explained, and then he and Hattori Heiji were going to call everyone down and leave in the car.
Then…
Maplehara pulled Hattori Heiji aside.
"What's wrong?" Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, why did these two Kudos... one after another...
Feng Yuan struggled with his words, and then decided to return the favor: "...your woman is here."
"My woman!?"
"Yes, that's the one named Kazuya."
"...How do you know her?"
"You told me last time that she looked like a primary school student," Fengyuan said, gesturing towards the far corner, "She looked about the same age as you, and she kept staring here, so I guessed it was her. ."
It was a very cute high school girl with a single ponytail. She had been staring at the group of them furtively, and her eyes were mainly focused on Xiaolan.
Realizing that Hattori Heiji was looking back, she immediately slipped behind the pillar.
So Hattori Heiji couldn't see anything, so he turned his head and looked at Maplehara again.
"..."
These two people are really troublesome, Fengyuan thought, and then simply led Hattori Heiji over.
…
"This guy's name is Toyama Kazuha," Hattori Heiji introduced expressionlessly, "Her father is the criminal director of the Osaka Prefectural Police and is a good friend of my father, so we have known each other since childhood."
Yuan Shan and Ye looked embarrassed.
She had a crush on Hattori Heiji and thought Xiaolan was the Kudo whom Hattori Heiji often secretly talked about, so she wanted to come over and have a look. Unexpectedly, I was caught by Heiji before even taking a few glances...
Heiji's strength seems to have become stronger again...
While being jealous and at the same time couldn't help but be happy for Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Ye wanted to escape from here at the same time, but they didn't want to admit defeat to Xiaolan, so they twisted around on their toes against the floor.
"Oh...the daughter of a detective boy and a criminal police officer," Uncle Maori pointedly pointed out, "a very unlucky pair."
"Dad! I think they match well," Xiaolan said, then looked at Yuanshan and Ye, "Hello, my name is -"
"Hmph." Yuan Shan and Ye tilted their heads proudly.
"Uh..." Xiaolan was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything further.
She seems to be very hostile to me...
"Hey, Xiaolan is introducing herself to you." Hattori Heiji said to Toyama Kazuha.
Tsk, this starts to speak for that woman.
I had called Kudo here before, but after meeting him, I just took Xiaolan one bite at a time...
Moreover, I couldn’t bear to see her suffer any injustice, and even accused me of being rude because of her...
Yes, I'm just rude, so what's wrong...
Toyama and Ye felt aggrieved and sad, and couldn't help but start to shed tears. However, they still stubbornly turned their heads and looked at Xiaolan again, "I know her," Toyama and Ye said in a stiff tone, "It's Kudo Ran."
"G-Kudo Ran!?"
Uncle Maori looked at his daughter in shock and confusion. All he wanted in his mind was to catch Kudo Shinichi and beat him to death.
Conan and Xiaolan's faces turned red instantly, steam seemed to be rising from their heads, and they looked like they were about to faint in the next second.
Feng Yuan wanted to laugh a little, but he still held it back.
Sakata Yusuke was a little confused.
Only Hattori Heiji burst into laughter.
"Kudo Ran, Kudo Ran, hahaha," Hattori Heiji held his stomach that hurt from laughing, "Kazuha, you are so interesting, haha..."
"What, what's wrong?" Yuan Shanheye, who just looked like he was ready to die, looked at everyone's strange expressions and was very puzzled.
"I, I..." Xiaolan wanted to explain, but felt like she was stammering and speechless.
"My, my name is Mao Lilan!" After exhaling, Xiaolan spoke, "We don't have that kind of relationship with Shinichi!"
Shinichi?
Who is this?
Yuan Shan and Ye looked at everyone blankly.
