Gojo Satoru and the others went out early the next morning. Conan said he had found a local to show them around Osaka.

"Hey! Kudo, over here." Heiji Hattori's eyes lit up when he saw Conan, and he quickly waved.

"Hattori, you really need to change your tune."

Conan glared at Heiji Hattori with hostility, but thankfully he was accompanied by Satoru Gojo and Natsumi Yuuki, who both knew his true identity.

If Xiaolan were here, he wouldn't know how to explain it.

If his identity is ever exposed, Hattori Heiji will definitely be credited for it.

"Conan... Conan... Conan, you guys probably haven't had breakfast yet, right? I'll take you to have breakfast."

Hattori Heiji gave an awkward laugh. He really didn't mean it; he just got used to calling Kudo by his name.

"Hey, Kudo, aren't you going to eat? This okonomiyaki is really delicious."

Heiji Hattori was a little surprised to see Conan bustling around serving his two friends. When did this guy become so considerate?

"I'll eat later," Conan said without looking up.

He couldn't be bothered to correct Hattori Heiji's form of address; everyone present already knew his true identity.

He promised last night that he would serve these two old men well all day today, and only found out from them what Kidd did to Xiaolan!

Ugh! I'm so angry! It's one thing for Kid to keep impersonating him, but he even tried to take advantage of Ran. Luckily, Ran is smart and eventually saw through Kid's identity.

Conan was filled with a sense of crisis. He desperately wanted to resolve the Black Organization issue, restore his identity, and stay by Ran's side as Shinichi Kudo.

Gojo Satoru showed no remorse for exploiting child laborers and focused on eating; the restaurant recommended by Hattori Heiji was indeed delicious.

Oh right, he remembered that Hattori Heiji had a famous nickname, what was it again... I think it was Osaka Black Chicken?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Hattori Heiji and exclaimed, "Wow! That nickname is quite fitting!"

Hattori Heiji (Osaka Black Chicken): "..." Is anyone going to feed me peanuts?

"Conan, you eat too. We can handle the rest ourselves."

Xia Youjie smiled gently at Conan, then started making okonomiyaki himself.

"Okay." Conan looked at Xia Youjie with gratitude. He was such a kind person.

"Hey... Kudo, didn't you say you couldn't reveal your identity? Why are you even talking about the two kids now?"

Hattori Heiji lowered his voice and asked quietly, "Why is Shinichi Kudo spreading his own affairs around?"

"...Do you think this is what I wanted? This matter is complicated and a long story. I'll tell you another time."

Conan looked at Hattori Heiji with a complicated expression. Did he say it voluntarily? He was exposed without anyone knowing!

God knows that he was just trying to extract information out of her out of habit that day, but he was scared out of his wits by Gojo Satoru's question, "Shinichi Kudo, aren't you tired of doing this?"

Not only did he fail to protect his own identity, but the identities of Mr. Okiya and Mr. Amuro were also exposed.

Let's leave aside Mr. Amuro for now. Mr. Okiya and Satoru Gojo only met him once. How did they know that Mr. Okiya was an FBI agent?

If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have brought Gojo Satoru and the others home that time. If he hadn't gone home, he wouldn't have met Okiya Subaru, who was staying at his house, and Okiya Subaru wouldn't have lost his disguise.

"Then keep your story short."

Heiji Hattori looked at Conan with anticipation; he was genuinely curious about what had happened.

Conan: "..."

Can't Hattori just shut up? Does he think that if he lowers his voice, Gojo Satoru won't hear them?

He could already see the look of amusement in Gojo Satoru's eyes; this was practically a public execution.

He glanced at Hattori Heiji, who was determined to get to the bottom of things, and then secretly looked at Gojo Satoru, who was watching the show, and said dejectedly, "They found out about this themselves. As for how they found out, don't ask me. I don't know either."

Yes, he still doesn't know how his identity was exposed.

However, after spending time with them, he realized that Gojo Satoru and the others could never be members of the Black Organization. If they were, the Black Organization would have been wiped out by them long ago.

As for the person who looked like Gin that we saw earlier... he must have been mistaken.

He had specifically asked the restaurant owner about that person beforehand, and the owner said that he had come to learn how to cook from the head chef.

Hahaha... How could Gin possibly learn to cook? He must have misunderstood.

"what?"

Heiji Hattori stared blankly at Conan. Had he heard correctly? Kudo's identity had been discovered by two children, and he didn't even know how he had been exposed?

!!!

Wow! Doesn't that mean these two kids are really amazing?

He looked at Gojo Satoru and Natsume with burning eyes. Geniuses emerge from among the young. Is this the strength of the new generation of detectives?

666: No, they're cheating!

"Is there something you need, Mr. Hattori?"

Xia Youjie looked helplessly at Hattori Heiji, whose gaze had suddenly become intense for some reason.

To be honest, he thought the boy looked quite pleasing to the eye and reminded him of Miguel.

"Hey, Natsume, how did you guys find out Kudo's identity? Can you tell me?" Hattori Heiji asked with a curious look.

“Oh, we once saw him using a voice changer to talk to Ran Mouri on the phone, so… you know,” Xia Youjie said, half-jokingly.

He couldn't possibly say that they knew from the beginning that Conan was a fake kid, but the phone call was real, though Conan didn't know they were there.

"Pfft hahaha... What? Kudo, you're so lame."

Heiji Hattori couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this. It was hilarious that Shinichi Kudo's identity was exposed because of his relationship.

"Ah this..."

Conan was stunned. He really hadn't expected this reason. It seemed he would have to be more careful when calling Ran in the future.

Gojo Satoru's lips curled slightly; he found it amusing to see Conan get his comeuppance.

This guy is so suspicious of people, it's so annoying. He should experience the harshness of society. Next time, let Kurosawa scare him.

Conan! Danger!

After eating okonomiyaki, Hattori Heiji enthusiastically took Gojo Satoru and the others to visit Osaka's famous dessert shops. This trip was a great success for both host and guests.

Vodka, who was left behind once again: "..." He really wanted to ask why he didn't take him with him when he went out.

My brother said he was going to find a professional nanny to replace him, right? He wants to know if they've found one yet. He's waiting online; he's in a hurry.

"Goodbye, remember to visit me next time you come to Osaka!"

Heiji Hattori waved to the people on the train at the platform. He was quite happy today, having made two new friends.

"Hey? Aren't you guys coming back with us?"

Conan looked at Gojo Satoru with surprise, who said he wouldn't go back to Tokyo with them. Why hadn't he heard him say he wanted to stay in Osaka before?

"Well, we still have some things to do. Tell Uozuka to go back with you."

After finishing his speech, Gojo Satoru left the station with Natsumi Yuuki, leaving Conan alone, bewildered in the wind.
