Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

Kitagawa Taki did not comment on Ikenami Shizuka's question.

Xiaolan, who heard the conversation between the two, asked curiously, "What did you see?"

Just then, a familiar voice came from the gate.

"Auntie, is it time to go back?"

I saw Hattori Heiji leaning against the door, his hands folded, with a helpless look on his face.

Toyama and Ye were waving to a few people nearby.

Ikenami Shizuka was about to speak when Maori Kogoro angrily walked up to her and grabbed Hattori Heiji by the collar, saying unhappily, "Hattori boy, you called Miss Ikenami auntie? Isn't that too rude?"

Hattori Heiji curled his lips, pulled Maori Kogoro's hand away, and said, "She is my mother, I can call her whatever I want!"

Kogoro Mouri and Ran were in disbelief and looked at Shizuka Ikenami with questioning eyes.

Ikenami Shizuka nodded silently.

Kogoro Mouri let out a strange cry and his face turned green.

"Excuse me, how many years ago was that photo taken by Ms. Ikenami?"

Ikebo Jinghua thought for a moment and said, "About 30 years ago."

Kogoro Mouri has completely given up hope. He was in junior high school 30 years ago, and now he is at least 40 years old.

Xiaolan, however, exclaimed "Impossible" and, for the first time ever, pointed at Hattori Heiji and stammered, "Your skin... is so dark!"

Kitagawa Taki deeply agreed. When Hattori Heiji and Ikenami Shizuka stood together, the contrast was very obvious. He looked like a piece of coal.

"What you said is too hurtful. I just inherited my skin color from my grandfather! Besides, I'm not that dark!" Hattori Heiji explained anxiously.

Yuanshan Heye covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"Hey, Kazuha, is it that funny? Am I really that dark?" Hattori Heiji asked Toyama Kazuha, full of resentment, pointing at his own face.

"Yes, yes!" Yuanshan Heye added another stab without mercy.

"Heiji, you came so early, you probably haven't eaten yet, let's go have dinner together!"

Ikenami Jinghua looked at the time and tried to smooth things over.

She called Hattori Heiji to pick her up, but he arrived much earlier than she expected.

……

While walking on the road, Xiaolan had not forgotten the question she had just asked, so she shook Kitagawa Taki's arm and asked again.

"Well," Kitagawa Taki said with a smile, "Madam said she couldn't cook and her finger was injured, but I found out she wasn't injured. And didn't she recognize the fish on the table at Shibata's house at first sight?"

Xiaolan felt a sense of admiration and nodded.

Yuanshan Heye took Xiaolan's hand and chuckled, "Aunt Jinghua's cooking skills are top-notch."

"Wa Ye, stop praising me. My cooking skills are just okay." After a moment of modesty, Ikenami Shizuka asked Kitagawa Taki, "Then how did Mr. Kitagawa realize that my finger wasn't injured?"

Beichuan Taki said honestly: "I can see it."

Hattori Heiji remembered that he had given the same answer to Kitagawa Taki before, so he curled his lips and said sarcastically, "You saw it again. Are your eyes really like blazing gold?"

Beichuan Taki laughed heartily: "That's not even close to what we can achieve."

Maori Kogoro couldn't hold it in any longer and interrupted, "Well, I also have a question. Madam, why did you come to me in hiding?"

You have to know that Hattori Heizo is the director of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters. If he wants to investigate someone, he will definitely be much faster than him.

Ikenami Shizuka explained, "I've often heard about Mr. Mori from Heiji, so I wanted to come and see him."

Kogoro Mouri touched his head in confusion and didn't ask any more questions.

After hearing this, Hattori Heiji was secretly dissatisfied, because he often mentioned Kitagawa Taki and Kudo Shinichi.

Thinking of Kudo Shinichi, he realized that Conan was not there, so he asked: "By the way, Uncle Maori, where is the little kid named Conan who lives in your house?"

Maori Kogoro said casually: "He, his relatives returned to his country, so he went to stay with his relatives."

"Relatives? Where exactly are they?"

Maori Kogoro looked suspicious: "Why are you asking so many questions?"

"Uh... I want to play with him sometimes." Hattori Heiji made up an excuse.

"Looking for Conan to play?" Kitagawa Taki raised the corner of his mouth and teased: "Hattori, you are quite childish!"

Toyama Kazuha followed suit and teased, "Heiji obviously doesn't like children very much, but he surprisingly gets along well with Conan."

Hattori Heiji's face darkened and he was speechless for a moment.

Xiaolan smiled and helped explain: "Because Shinichi's mother returned to her country, Conan went to live in her house."

"Oh, I see." Hattori Heiji got the answer he wanted and rubbed his chin. It turned out that Kudo Shinichi ran back to his home.

The reason why he looked for Kudo Shinichi was not only because one of them was a famous detective in Kansai and the other was a famous detective in Kanto, but also because of the mystery of Kudo Shinichi's shrinking.

Last time Conan was vague and he didn't get anything out of his questions.

Ikenami Shizuka, who was quietly listening to the jokes of the others, suddenly interrupted and said, "That kid named Conan must be very smart, right?"

She knew Hattori Heiji very well, and just like Toyama Kazuha said, he didn't like playing with children at all.

Xiaolan nodded and said, "Yes, he says some surprising things from time to time. When my father solves cases, he often mentions key things!"

"Oh?" Ikenami Shizuka seemed to be thinking about something.

……

While talking, they found a restaurant.

After ordering the food, several people sat together.

"By the way, I wonder if you are free in the next few days?" Ikenami Jinghua took a sip of tea and asked Kitagawa Taki and others.

There is naturally no problem with Kitagawa Taki and Mori Kogoro.

Xiaolan also has time on weekends and school holidays.

Ikenami Shizuka smiled faintly and said, "Why don't you all come to Osaka together? I'll let Heiji and Kazuha show you around. You're also welcome to visit our home. You didn't come to our home before when you came to Osaka."

Kitagawa Taki nodded.

Kogoro Mori also gladly accepted the invitation to visit the home of the Osaka Prefectural Police Chief. It would be even better if he could get to know the chief.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Xiaolan thanked Ikenami Jinghua and said, "Aunt Jinghua, we apologize for disturbing you."

"It's okay." Ikenami Jinghua smiled and looked at Xiaolan and Toyama Kazuha who looked like sisters. Both girls were very nice.

At this time, Hattori Heiji interrupted and said, "Uncle Maori, can you take Conan with you?"

Ikebo Jinghua narrowed her eyes slightly. It was a good opportunity for her to see the child and see what was so unusual about him.

Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment and said, "No problem."

Although there is no case, it is not a problem to bring Conan along, since the boarding fee is provided.

Yuanshan Heye smiled and said, "Kitagawa, remember to call Sister Miho and Xiao Ai!"

"sure."
