A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 163 Don't Move, Squeeze to Warm

"Kudou, Kudo, are you listening?"

The continuous calls interrupted Conan's erupting self-world.

"Yes, you say."

"Tomorrow I will go to Tokyo to find you, and I will talk to you about something."

Although he didn't understand why Hattori couldn't speak directly on the phone, Conan still agreed to pick him up at the station tomorrow.

……

"Why did you come with me, I just came to pick up someone."

Looking at the mighty team behind him, Conan worried whether Hattori would be flattered by it.

Originally, he planned to pick him up alone, but when Xiaolan learned that he and Ye were coming together, she also wanted to pick him up.

Noah was running, Hattori must have had the idea of ​​a murder case when Hattori came, and Haibara was just pulled over by him incidentally.

"We didn't treat them well with Ye and the others when we came to Tokyo the last two times. We must make up for it this time. They were very warm to us in Osaka back then."

Noah is skeptical about these words, and there is no problem entertaining them, but the premise is that there is nothing to disturb, is this possible?

Because there is still class to be held today, Hattori said that it was around seven o'clock in the evening when he arrived in Tokyo, and Noah regretted coming to join in the fun now, it was too cold.

The weather in Tokyo has been very bad for the past two days, and it has been windy, especially at night, when the cold wind pours into the clothes, it feels so cool.

"What is this Hattori doing? Isn't it seven o'clock as agreed, it's almost eight o'clock, man."

"It's probably delayed by something, it should be here soon."

Haibara went to bed very late last night because of the analysis of Conan's experimental data, and his mental state was not good. Coupled with the invasion of the cold wind, his whole body tended to develop a cold.

"I told you to wear thicker clothes, you might catch a cold."

Hui Yuan, whose mind was developing in a daze, suddenly felt his body warm up, and a windbreaker was draped over himself, without turning his head, Hui Yuan knew who it was.

Noah himself felt cold, and of course he knew what it was like to wear Huibara that was thinner than himself. Seeing her shivering in the wind, he took off his windbreaker and covered the other person.

It's just that Noah's windbreaker is a bit too big for Huiyuan, and it looks a bit awkward no matter how you look at it.

In the end, under Huiyuan's astonished eyes, Noah lifted her up and put her on his back, then put the windbreaker on his body, felt Huiyuan not trembling behind him, and nodded thoughtfully.

Warmth is quite warm, but Huiyuan's face was flushed, this posture is so shameful, because of the squeeze of the clothes, she had to put her head on Noah's shoulders, and her whole body was close to Noah.

This was the first time she had had close contact with Noah consciously, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, constantly wanting to struggle to get down.

"Anla, Anla, be honest, it's warmer if you squeeze, my clothes are going to be torn when I move."

"Can't you use another method, must I lie on your back?"

"Then why don't you come into my arms and I'll wrap you in clothes."

"...Forget it, that's it."

Compared to the situation in Noah's arms, Haibara should choose to lie on his back.

"Hee hee, Noah is really gentle with girls, unlike Shinichi, he's like an idiot, with nothing else in his mind except solving the case."

... Just talk as you say, can you not get involved in other people, don't you see that I am still here, although Xiaolan really can't see it.

"Brother Xinyi is also very good. Didn't she invite sister Xiaolan to dinner yesterday?"

Of course Conan is not reconciled, and wants to try to restore his glorious image in Xiaolan's heart.

"Don't mention it, I'm angry when I talk about it. He didn't know where he went, and he dared to enter the women's bathroom. He's really fat. I'll talk to him when he comes back."

...Well, it's all my fault for being cheap, it's not good to mention anything, but what happened yesterday, it's better now, it's self-defeating.

Thinking of this, Conan gave Noah a hard look. He hasn't settled this matter with him yet. If it wasn't for him, Xiaolan wouldn't be so angry.

"Hey, look, Hattori and the others are here."

Ignoring Conan, Noah, who has excellent eyesight, saw the two Hattori who came off the train and were looking around at a glance, and they finally came.

"He Ye, we are here!"

Xiaolan yelled, and at the same time raised her hand to indicate her position, and Ye happily threw the backpack in her hand to Hattori, and ran up to hug Xiaolan.

"Didn't you two say to arrive at seven o'clock, why did you come here at eight o'clock?"

"Isn't it because of He Ye, I originally planned to come alone, but she said that she didn't have class tomorrow, so she wanted to come with her, and she wanted to help you bring some Osaka specialties, which delayed the time."

Hattori took off the package on his body and threw it to Noah and Conan, which happened to be a package for each person, so Noah was not allowed to wait in vain.

"I thought something happened to you again, it seems that I was thinking too much."

"It's not all. Something happened while waiting for the bus at the station, but because Uncle Otaki and the others came in time, they didn't delay the time."

... Hehehe, I didn't misread you, so tell me, who do you want to harm this time.

The real purpose of Hattori's visit to Tokyo this time is to find Conan, to be precise, to find Shinichi Kudo.

"Then you came a step late, Shinichi has already left, and I don't know where he is now."

"Do you have anything to do with Brother Xinyi? I can pass it on for you."

When Xiaolan explained, there was a trace of bitterness on her face. As a childhood sweetheart, she really failed.

Conan looked at Hattori with a trace of murderous intent, you don't know my real identity, so you can't talk to me in private, you don't have to ask such tricky questions here.

Hattori, who was belatedly aware of it, smiled awkwardly. He has never been able to get rid of his quick-talking habit. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to everyone to watch.

"The mermaid is about to be killed, come and save her."

The content of this letter made several people present puzzled. What does it mean? Mermaids only appear in fairy tales, how to save them.

"The beginning of this letter is clearly written to Kudo Shinichi, how did it end up in your hands?"

"Here, here is the envelope."

Hattori fumbled out another crumpled envelope from his pocket, on which was written Hattori Heiji Kai.

This made several people even more confused, who did the person who wrote this letter want to write to at that time.

"This letter says it was sent from Fukui Prefecture. The sender is Saori Monsho. Do you know Hattori?"

"I don't know her, but I know where she lives."

Fukui County is close to the sea, and there is a small island called American Island on the sea not far from Fukui County, which is also known as a small island where mermaids live.

"I think this Menxie Shazhi should come from this small island."

"Isn't there a phone here? Have you tried to contact her?"

"Of course I have contacted, and more than once, but she only got through the first time, but she didn't speak, there was only a strange voice, and I found out after asking others that it was... the voice of a mermaid. "

Hearing Hattori's narration with a slightly terrifying atmosphere, Xiaolan's hands couldn't help but clenched Kazuha's arm. She was most afraid of hearing such supernatural stories.

"Don't make trouble, maybe it was sent by something, but after you said that, I remembered something about this island. Didn't it be reported in the news before? It is said that there is a secret of immortality there. .”

"That's right, it's that island. How about it? Do you want to go and have a look? This can be regarded as a commission."

Conan didn't have any objections, but he and Ye Xiaolan hesitated. After Hattori's intimidation just now, they didn't want to go.

"Aren't you all curious about the secret of immortality? Maybe you can stay young forever."

The words of eternal youth completely bewitched the two of them. Isn’t it women who care most about their appearance? If there is really a secret of eternal youth, it’s not a big deal to go there. They nodded and said in unison.

"Let's go!"
