Hattori Heiji looked straight at Egawakami.

As a result, Jiang Chuan Shang didn't even look over at him again, but instead looked carefully at the information in his hand.

Hattori Heiji shifted his gaze to Conan, who was being attentive at the desk, and stared at him again.

Conan ignored him and finished speaking to Egawakami obediently. Then he ran back to Ran Mouri's legs and accepted her praise.

It fits the psychology of children seeking attention.

For a moment, Hattori Heiji wondered if his intuition was wrong.

But the detective's intuition is never wrong.

Since it needs to be discussed, let's try it again. The enemy will always show his true colors.

Hattori Heiji pondered to himself and turned to look at Mouri Ran.

"Xiao Lan, you can also bring your little brother along. One more person means one more companion. Besides..."

Hattori Heiji's eyes were extremely sharp, "Maybe Kudo Shinichi will also show up at that time."

Conan looked up curiously at Hattori Heiji who was speaking, pretending not to understand.

However, he was certain in his heart that Hattori Heiji had absolute doubts about him, otherwise he would not have dragged him over by force.

This person really has bad intentions. He is really troublesome.

When Mao Lilan heard the name Kudo Shinichi, her expression froze and complex emotions appeared on her face.

There is longing and pain, divided into three parts and seven parts.

It seems that calls from a long-distance place can never give her a sense of security. Behind the longing for someone is the disappointment that has no emotional value to comfort her.

The more she missed him, the more painful it was.

When the girl heard that Kudo Shinichi might appear, she suddenly felt hopeful.

If we can meet, can we have a chat?

If we can't see each other, then... let the wind take away... the longing...

To comfort this love that has not yet begun.

The shock on Mao Lilan's face was obvious. Conan saw that something was wrong with her and quickly grabbed her hand and called her.

He didn't dare show any expression that was beyond his age range, and remained as usual. Fortunately, his lenses blocked his expression, so his crude acting skills were not exposed.

"Sister Xiaolan, Sister Xiaolan..."

Mao Lilan then looked down at Conan, and said with tender concern, "Ah, Conan, is there something wrong?"

"Sister Xiaolan, let's go together. Conan wants to go and take a look. Conan also wants to be a detective in the future, hehe." Conan said with a smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"But your cold hasn't healed yet, has it?"

"I'm almost well now. The medicine this big brother gave me has cured me. I don't even have a runny nose after a good night's sleep."

Conan said this, pointing his finger at Hattori Heiji who was standing next to him.

He knew that Hattori Heiji was watching him, so he could only lie.

When Mao Lilan listened to him speaking, she could no longer hear his heavy nasal tone.

"It seems to be true, but I've never heard that drinking alcohol can cure a cold. It's better for children not to try it."

Hattori Heiji asked, "Oh, is that really the case?"

Only he knew. After all, the glass poured for Conan was full of white liquor without any medicine. Would the cold be cured?

Or is it because it will be fine after a good night's sleep?

Who knows.

Conan turned his head away from him and silently wiped the sweat off his cheeks due to the heat.

Inner thoughts: Damn it, my cold hasn’t gotten better, it’s gotten worse. I’m so hot, I must be having a fever.

I really don't want to go there either~_~

What if this guy hadn't said anything unfavorable to me...

Seeing Conan's lack of resistance, Hattori Heiji thought he was pretending.

Just as they were about to continue asking questions, Jiang Chuan Shang interrupted them at the critical moment.

"Okay, stop making trouble. Let's first understand the commission."

As he spoke, he showed them photos of the people being investigated.

"I saw this girl not long ago, right in front of the detective agency. She didn't go in, but instead stood at the door for a while and left in a hurry."

With just a few words, I successfully retained a few curious people.

Now everyone's attention was focused on the photo in Jiang Chuan's hand.

The short-haired girl in the photo is very beautiful, with excellent temperament. She is very graceful in front of the camera and looks very lively and cheerful.

Look at her resume again.

I have to say that she is very outstanding and will definitely do great things in the future. No wonder the lady is a little jealous of her.

A girl's youth and beauty may seem like a sinister existence to an old and ugly woman.

Hattori Heiji saw this and interrupted the conversation between Mori Kogoro and the others.

He took a step forward, propped his hands on the desk and looked down at Jiang Chuan Shang, "You said you met her not long ago, so did she come to report the case and apply for a commission?"

Jiang Chuan Shang handed the information to Mao Lilan so that she could see it more clearly.

"I don't know. Maybe she didn't walk into the office, otherwise Maori Kogoro would have been familiar with the person in the photo during the conversation just now."

Hattori Heiji nodded, "That's right, that means she left in a hurry because of something before she even entered the office, so she didn't get to enter the office."

He continued to speculate, "Does this mean that she didn't go into the office because she was worried about bumping into someone, such as your wife? When did you run into Katsuragi Sachiko?"

Katsuragi Sachiko is the protagonist that the lady wants the detective agency to investigate.

Jiang Chuan Shang tapped the table with his fingertips, pretending to think, "It was probably about ten minutes before you came here."

Hattori Heiji thought, "That is to say, she knew that your ladyship was coming half an hour ago, so she left early."

Jiang Chuan Shang did not give a definite answer, "Maybe."

When Kogoro Mouri came back from seeing off the guests, he saw that his seat had been occupied.

The two people were still sitting there discussing something.

As soon as he approached, he heard Jiang Chuan Shang say "Maybe", and he looked confused.

"Maybe what?"

Hattori Heiji stood up, his movements less sloppy.

"Uncle Maori, we are discussing the case. We will go to the diplomat's home with you in a while. We can communicate in advance so that we can have a better idea of ​​the situation."

Maori Kogoro's face darkened. "Did you come up with anything?"

Hattori Heiji smiled and said, "No, we need to go to the diplomat's home to find out more."

"Humph!"

Maori Kogoro snorted heavily, "I knew you guys couldn't come up with a solution through discussion, so I, the Kanto Detective, had to step in."

"Uh——" Hattori Heiji looked unhappy.

Others couldn't help laughing.

After Maori Kogoro got his clothes and put them on, he stood at the door and urged, "Okay, let's go, the car is ready."

After he finished speaking, he saw the four of them all move, confused.

"What are you guys doing..." He thought of something and screamed, "Are you all going to go?!"

Mao Lilan took Conan to his side and stuck out her tongue at her father embarrassedly.

"Yes, Dad. We're all going."

Kogoro Mori gives Hattori Heiji a death stare.

It's all your fault!

Hattori Heiji smiled innocently, and he was no longer so arrogant at this time.
