Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

Ever since Hua Lantian confronted him last time, Conan has developed a strong interest in him. Conan finds himself increasingly fond of Hua Lantian and cannot help but pester him.

Every time he meets Hua Lantian, Conan tries to get some information about the winery from him in various ways.

Hua Lantian naturally noticed this, but he did not show too much dissatisfaction or disgust. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy this interaction with Conan and revealed some vague information from time to time to tease him.

Although this information does not directly point to the specific situation of the winery, it makes Conan very excited.

Of course, Conan knew that Hua Lantian had given him all this information on purpose, just to see his reaction. But Conan didn't care, because he believed that as long as he kept asking questions, he would get more valuable clues from Hua Lantian one day.

As for Hua Lantian, seeing Conan so dedicated to the winery, he couldn't help but admire his perseverance.

Snowflakes fluttered down, leaving the sky and the earth a blanket of white. Conan stood in the phone booth, gazing out the window at the snowy scene, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He recalled the last time his parents had played a prank on him, the mixture of fear, terror, and excitement he still couldn't forget.

"Oh, how pitiful..." Conan said to himself. Since then, he has become particularly sensitive to his parents' pranks, but he can't help but look forward to what new tricks they will come up with.

However, the recent weather does not seem to be suitable for going out. It is snowing outside, and the wind is biting and cold, making people feel bitingly cold.

But Conan didn't care about all this. He still wore his iconic blue suit and shorts, which had become his habit.

Unfortunately, this combination and some operations were obviously not suitable for winter, and he naturally caught a cold. In this way, Conan spent a few days with cold symptoms. Although he felt uncomfortable, he still enjoyed the happiness brought by this special snowy day.

Because he was having a long-awaited conversation with Xiaolan using the sound of a washing machine, he didn't realize what was going to happen next.

Moreover, he called Hua Lantian again today and called him in the voice of Maori Kogoro, saying that he had found an important clue to the commissioned incident.

This was actually just a scam to lure Hua Lantian over so as to get more information from him.

Moreover, another advantage of doing this is that he does not need to make up the lies himself, and all the responsibility will be borne by his unlucky father-in-law, Kogoro Mori.

Conan had just dealt with Xiaolan's urging and reproaches with the sound of a washing machine when the doorbell of Mouri Detective Agency rang. Xiaolan had to quickly take care of him, then hung up the phone and went to open the door.

Conan put down the phone speechlessly, walked out of the phone booth, and muttered angrily: "I really don't understand women...!" However, when he stepped out of the phone booth, he found that almost all the people around him were women.

They looked at the strange little boy who came out of the phone booth with expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces. Conan felt very embarrassed, realizing that what he had just said was heard by these people.

His face suddenly turned red to his ears. He quickly lowered his head and left the scene, hoping to get rid of this embarrassing situation as soon as possible.

(I didn't expect this random sentence to become a famous scene. It's really interesting...! So I added some description???)

Just as he returned to the Maori Detective Agency and walked up the stairs slowly, he heard the questioning voice of a young man from inside the detective agency.

"It's no use lying to me, miss. I know that guy is right here. Hurry and call him out...!"

Our Conan boy didn't know at this time that the young man he saw when he opened the door was his lifelong best friend, Osaka "Black Chicken" Hattori Heiji.

Only to see Osaka's "Black Chicken" Hattori Heiji say something that made him explode, "Where is Kudo Shinichi...?!"

Then, with one of his sneezes, which was a perfect timing, Hahahaha, Hattori Heiji continued, "Call him out...!"

"A-choo!" With a loud sneeze, Conan staggered and rushed forward uncontrollably, then he broke open the door and rushed into the room.

This charge was not a big deal. He rushed directly in front of Xiaolan and almost bumped into her.

Xiaolan was startled and quickly supported Conan, asking with concern: "Conan, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Conan touched his nose awkwardly and explained, "I'm sorry, Xiaolan, I couldn't help sneezing just now..."

Xiaolan smiled and patted Conan's shoulder, saying: "It's okay, be more careful next time. But do you have a cold?"

Conan was shocked and thought to himself that something was wrong, but he pretended to be calm and said, "No, I just caught a cold."

Xiaolan suddenly seemed to remember something, clapped her hands and said, "Oh, I remember now, Shinichi was sneezing when he called just now. He must have a cold!"

This made Hattori Heiji come up with a lot of deductions at once, and he continued to ask Ran questions, then he held his chin up and said with a deep face (actually his face could not be seen): "It's true, people say you are Kudo's woman, it really is true...!"

Ran and Conan both felt embarrassed when they heard this, and said in unison: "Woman...?! Who told you that...?!"

Hattori Heiji decisively sold out Suzuki Sonoko, just like Sonoko sold Xiaolan. Of course, Hattori Heiji almost beat up Conan every time, which is understandable.

"Of course it was your friend Suzuki Sonoko who told you that Kudo didn't even come to school. He must be hiding with you...! She's right, isn't she...!"

(We have to say, Sonoko really has that Queen of Mystery Sonoko vibe. It's so accurate??? She must have read the script...hahaha!)

The future Shin-Kudo couple were both gritting their teeth in hatred, expressing their extreme dissatisfaction with Sonoko's behavior, and secretly cursing in their hearts, "That Sonoko...!" and "That bitch...!"

"Hurry up and tell me, what did Kudo call you about...!" Hattori Heiji approached step by step and asked, Xiaolan revealed herself again, you are really worthy of being you, Lan-chan, you are so kind, you tell me everything I ask you... What if he is a bad guy...

Then Hattori Heiji demonstrated his skills and reasoning, which made everyone think that the washing machine was somewhere staring at Xiaolan, which made Xiaolan feel shy.

However, Hattori Heiji despised this behavior because he felt that the washing machine was always peeking at Xiaolan, which was not very polite.

When Conan was secretly wondering who the person in front of him was, Uncle Maori, who had just been awakened by him, could no longer contain his doubts. He stood up from his chair and asked curiously, "By the way, who are you?"

Hattori Heiji was reminded and retracted his gaze from the window. His features were finally revealed. He remembered something and said:

"Oh, oh, I haven't introduced myself yet...! My name is Hattori Heiji, and I'm a high school detective like Kudo Shinichi...!"

As he spoke, he took off his hat and finally revealed his true face. After all, this was to show respect to others.

Everyone was surprised, but everyone's reaction was different and their focus was also different.

For example, Uncle Maori noticed his professional competitors, the detectives. He didn't like these so-called high school detectives who did things for free without charging money, which caused a lot of trouble for the adults who made a living as detectives.

As for Xiaolan, she noticed his age and academic stage, which means he is a high school student. After all, he is her childhood sweetheart, and he is also a high school detective. This makes her naturally like him and she does not dislike him.

Conan combined the two of them, and now he can understand why Hattori Heiji can deduce so many things.

Then Conan sneezed again, after all, the kid had a cold. And to be honest, although Hattori Heiji sometimes tricked his good buddies, it was just a joke, and he would often assist his good buddies.

More importantly, Hattori Heiji is also a kind-hearted person and cares deeply about his friends.

So when he saw Conan sneeze, he first put his hat back on, then enthusiastically took off his backpack and put it on the table, then said while rummaging through it:

"Oh, little brother, you caught a cold. I just happened to bring some good medicine...!"

As he was rummaging through the things, Maori Kogoro beside him also pulled his chin, and said something as if he remembered something: "Now that you mention it, I think I've heard of it before. There's a very talented detective in Kansai...!"

"That's right, Kudo Shinichi and I, one is the Hattori of Kansai, and the other is called the Kudo of Kanto. People often compare us... Come on...!"

As Hattori Heiji spoke, he filled Conan's glass with the so-called special medicine and handed it to him attentively.

(Is it possible that Hattori and Kudo are your two fathers???)

After Conan thanked him, Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets and continued, "But I didn't expect that I haven't heard from Kudo recently, and he hasn't appeared in the news. Everyone is also rumored that Kudo Shinichi has disappeared...!"

"So now Kanto is me, Maori Kogoro...!" Uncle Maori just pointed at himself and was ready to show off, but before he finished speaking, Xiaolan interrupted him. He could only stare at his daughter speechlessly.

"So what, what do you want from Shinichi?"

"It's no big deal. I just want to meet him to confirm the rumors...!"

Hattori Heiji said as he walked.

Uncle Mori started to get restless again at this time and introduced his status, "I am Mori Xiaogo in Kanto now..." Before he finished reading his name, Hattori Heiji interrupted him.

"I want to know what's happening with Kudo Shinichi, the guy I'm often compared to...!"

On this side, Hattori Heiji honestly explained his purpose, and on the other side, Conan drank the cup of special medicine in one gulp, burped, and ended up dizzy and about to fall to the ground.

(He is really brave, and the Detective Egg Drum Washing Machine didn't smell the alcohol at all...)

Xiaolan hurried to support him, then shouted a few words of concern, and asked what Hattori Heiji had given poor Conan to drink...!

Hattori Heiji opened the package very naturally, and then said: "It's a Chinese liquor called Baigan. I have to bother you here before meeting Kudo...! This is a gift, take it...!" Xiaolan controlled Conan and complained silently.

"Hey, Uncle Maori, it seems like this lady has been waiting for a long time. I just went upstairs and saw her here...!"

Hua Lantian opened the door and said speechlessly as he led in a woman wearing sunglasses, gloves and a windbreaker.

He was called by Kogoro Mori today, but he didn't expect to meet this woman by chance. When he saw this person, he knew what was going to happen, that is, the diplomat murder case.

Moreover, he heard the conversation between Xiaolan and the others and Hattori Heiji as soon as he walked to the door, so it must be correct.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, ma'am, what can I do for you? Please take a seat. Xiaolan, please go and get some tea...!"

Maori Kogoro quickly settled this client who looked like a wealthy man, and then started his own process.

Originally, Hattori Heiji wanted to say something when he saw Hua Lantian, but out of his detective instinct, he was more interested in the case, so he patiently listened.

Hua Lantian also knew this very well, so he was not worried that Hattori Heiji would come to him to ask questions. Of course, he couldn't be too reassured until he completely calmed down, because who knew if he would have a seizure.

……

"Investigate the character of your son's girlfriend?"

"This one contains her photo and resume...!"

"Miss Katsuragi Sachiko..."

Maori Kogoro muttered a lot, then asked curiously, "What are you dissatisfied with her...?"

"No, it's just..."

Mrs. Tsujimura suddenly didn't know how to explain, because there was really nothing to complain about this lady named Katsuragi Sachiko.

"It's just because she's too perfect that I can't stand her. Humans are inherently suspicious and jealous...! When we see someone who's too perfect, we can't help but want to find fault with them...! Hehe, am I right, ma'am...!"

Hattori Heiji didn't know when he sat on Kogoro Mori's chair, then turned around and looked at Mrs. Tsujimura and snorted coldly.

“Who is this person…?”

Mrs. Tsujimura looked at Hattori Heiji with a bit of embarrassment and questioned him, because he actually said that he was jealous of his daughter. Of course, no one knew about this, and it was indeed not nice for Hattori Heiji to say that.

"He, he, he is my daughter's friend...!" Kogoro Mouri touched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Anyway, you can discuss the details with my husband after you get to my house...!"

After hearing her daughter's words, Mrs. Tsujimura didn't want to say anything more, and it would be a waste of time. Time is money for her now, so she quickly stood up and urged.

"Excuse me, do I have to go over now? If so, wouldn't it be okay for you two to come together and get married...?"

Kogoro Mouri was puzzled by the couple's actions and asked curiously.

"I just told you, my husband is a diplomat. If people knew he went to a place like this..."

Mrs. Tsujimura patiently explained that the most important thing was that it was impossible for her husband to come because he had been kicked out by her.

"There will be a scandal. Okay, I'll go with you...!" "What...?" Regardless of the opinions of Kogoro Mori and others, Hattori Heiji continued to perform steadily.

He stood up from his chair and found a perfect excuse for himself, saying, "Instead of letting you go alone, it's better to let people think we're visiting as father and son. That way, it won't arouse suspicion...!"

"That's right, I'll leave it to you then...!"

Mrs. Tsujimura didn't want to talk anymore, so she put on her sunglasses and turned away.

Before Kogoro Mouri had time to express his opinion, Hattori Heiji also called Xiaolan over and used the excuse that Kudo Shinichi might appear to fool Xiaolan, and she ended up deciding to go with him.

Of course, as expected, Hua Lantian still couldn't escape Hattori Heiji's "eagle eyes". Hattori Heiji asked him to drive the four of them there. Hua Lantian was originally planning to join in the fun, so of course he agreed directly...
