Model worker and his little darling

Seeing Pingqing take down the two burly men in a few moves, Nanchuan, who had been pretending to be dead, opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you?"

Hirai resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He was so close! He was so close to seeing Hattori confess his feelings.

Ugh, he's so angry!

He really wanted to send this person who ruined his plans to meet God. He had already prepared to kill the two thugs after Hattori finished speaking.

The thug is now dizzy, but his carefully planned act is... over?

The house was surrounded by police cars. As soon as Inspector Megure and his men got out of the car, they saw the door open automatically.

Just as I was confused, I saw Conan holding a cat, and a woman tied up on the ground.

"Conan? Where's Taira no Kiyoshi? Where are the thugs?"

“Brother Pingqing is in the attic.”

Just then, Hirakiyo came down with Hattori and the other two, who were completely disoriented.

"Inspector Megure, the criminal is in the attic, he's already passed out."

Seeing that everyone was alright, Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that Hirakiyo was skilled, his opponent was an armed criminal.

"Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to us."

He glanced at Officer Takagi as he spoke, and Takagi immediately led his men up to the attic to arrest the man.

Just then, Hattori grabbed Heikiyo by the collar. "Ito Heikiyo, what do you mean? Do you know I almost died? And you said you'd only give me five minutes, and you even cut off my ear..."

He and Kazuha almost died, and Taira no Kiyoshi actually played him for a fool.

Hattori's sudden outburst startled everyone present.

Hattori's dark face flushed slightly, and his speech became somewhat incoherent; he was clearly furious.

Inspector Megure quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Hey, Hattori, don't be angry. Let's talk this out."

Conan, meanwhile, was secretly watching the show while holding his cat. Serves him right, all he does is cause trouble all day long.

Hirai looked at Hattori apologetically, admitting that he had gone a little too far this time. However, compared to Conan, Hattori was much luckier.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry."

Hattori snorted and released Hirakiyo's collar.

After putting the criminals into the police car, Inspector Megure patted Hirakiyo on the shoulder and said, "Hirakiyo, thanks to you this time."

Hirakiyo once again resisted the urge to roll his eyes; he'd heard those words countless times. Aside from inviting him to dinner, Inspector Megure hadn't shown any other interest.

Damn! I feel like I've been taken advantage of.

He scratched his head sheepishly, "Haha... Officer, you're too kind. I was just lucky this time."

The police car drove away with its siren blaring, but Hattori was still very unhappy.

Heiji hugged Hattori tightly. "I'm just trying to help you. Look, you almost confessed your feelings successfully."

Hearing this, Hattori became even angrier, "How dare you say that?"

If you're going to confess your feelings, you should find a good place to give Kazuha an unforgettable memory.

"Didn't you always want to beat Shinichi Kudo? You're too late when it comes to confessing your feelings. But you can get engaged, married, and have children faster than him. After all, he can't do anything right now."

Hattori:……

That seems to make some sense.

Seeing that Hattori had gone astray, Taira nods in satisfaction.

"Besides, it was Conan who suggested giving you only five minutes."

Pingqing betrayed Conan without hesitation. Did he not see Conan's amused expression just now?

Hattori's eyes widened. Kudo was involved too; this was his good brother. He then glared fiercely at Conan, furious.

Just as Hattori was about to confront Conan, he heard Kazuha's voice from behind.

"Heiji."

Kazuha called out to Hattori Heiji, her face flushed.

"Hmm?" Hattori turned around in confusion.

Kazuha blushed and said, "It's about what you've been trying to say to me all this time... what is it?"

What I've always wanted to say?

Conan looked at Hattori with a suspicious gaze.

"me……"

Hattori felt his mind go blank, his face flushed, and he stammered.

Ping Qing raised an eyebrow at the scene before him. Did these two still have something going on today? His phone had already silently turned on the camera.

"It's just..." Hattori Heiji racked his brains, but he just couldn't bring himself to say "I like you."

"It's just... every time you tremble all over, it's your hair tied back like a ponytail that brushes against my neck, and it really tickles me so much! I love it!"

Taira no Kiyoshi: ...

Conan: ...

Petrification in progress!

what?

Are there any problems with their ears?

Taira no Kiyoshi now wanted to pry open Hattori's brain to see what was blocking it.

A true straight man, as straight as iron.

"Even times!"

The shyness on He Ye's face faded, replaced by anger.

"Hehehe... I'm really sorry about that."

He then grabbed Hattori by the collar and raised his fist.

Seeing the slap mark on Hattori's face, Hirai and Conan didn't know what to say.

It seems Hattori is already used to it, after all, it's not the first time he's been slapped.

……

A group of people sat in Poirot Cafe. Ping Qing waved his hand and said, "Order whatever you like. It's on me today."

Hattori glanced at Hirakiyo. "You can also disguise yourself?"

"I learned a little bit from Kid, and I can only do simple disguises. If you observe carefully, you can tell that the voice is Conan's voice changer."

Hattori said "Oh," and that's exactly what he meant. He had been standing in the dark the whole time, with a scarf around his neck, because he was afraid of being recognized if he went in.

"Sister Xiaozhi, is that brother new here?"

Xia Benzi nodded, "Yes, he just arrived. You can just call him Brother Hanchuan."

Just then, Han Chuan came over with the food.

"Hello, I am Minoru Kankawa. Please take care of me from now on."

"Hello, Brother Hanchuan."

Their eyes met unexpectedly, and Pingqing smiled and nodded.

After enjoying the delicious food, Hattori and Kazuha felt much better.

"That arsonist has been too brazen lately. I don't know when the police will catch him."

The conversation at the next table caught their attention, and Hattori became interested, "An arsonist?"

"Yes, and a red horse statue is always left at the crime scene."

Upon hearing this, Xia Benzi also looked worried, "There were no casualties in these arson cases, which is a great stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

"However, these arson cases seem to be unrelated. The first one was in Rizen-cho 1-chome, the second one was in Toriya-cho 2-chome, and the third one was in Okuho-cho 3-chome."

Kazuha blinked. "Looks like the next one will be somewhere in fourth-chome."

“I know a house that might be targeted,” Hattori said with a smile. “It’s the house that Mr. Kusukawa was asked to enter. It’s in Beika-cho 4-chome. I heard that suspicious figures were seen moving around the house at night.”

Taira no longer cared about Hattori's invitation to investigate the arson case, since the fire wouldn't reach his house anyway.
