Chapter 121 Confident Guy

The video game company bombing case has come to an end.

Hideaki Nakajima was controlled by the police, and his companion Tequila died. For Nobushige, this was an extremely failed operation.

That night, the organization's internal investigation into this operation was launched. As a highly involved member, Nobuhiro was inevitably included in the scope of the investigation.

Although he just followed the procedure, it was true that he was suspected in theory.

He was so idle these days that he could even be stationed in the music classroom to oversee the work 24 hours a day.

Later, Kogoro Mouri, who couldn't bear Conan's constant childish voice attack and finally recovered from gastroenteritis, had no choice but to call Officer Megure and learn what happened.

"So Nakajima Hideaki doesn't even know that the person he contacted is a member of the mysterious force. Now that the place where they contacted has been bombed, there is no way to know." Mouri Kogoro leaned on the chair, and on the TV Yoko Okino's program is still being played, "Such a good game, something so bad happened at the press conference, must have affected sales, right? I originally wanted to celebrate, but I got gastroenteritis and couldn't even drink." !”

"Really, didn't everyone promise that Dad could make up for it today?" Mao Lilan put the brewed tea on the table, "Speaking of which, Mr. Asano's music classroom has finally been decorated. I have been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Thank you." Xinfan picked up the tea and took a sip. "Conan also helped me bring the leaflets to school for distribution."

He was hinting, very aboveboard.

Although Mao Lilan may not understand the hint, she is always willing to help others and immediately said: "You can give me some too. I have many classmates living nearby. Maybe they are willing to study music."

Mouri Kogoro asked: "When do you plan to open?"

"I'm picking a day, but..." Nobutushige said with a smile, "I have already uploaded the recruitment information for the Mori Detective Agency to the Internet."

"But there are really few commissions recently." Mouri Kogoro chuckled, "How about taking on one or two simple commissions?"

Nobuhiro naturally changed the subject: "Where is Conan? You haven't seen him this morning?"

"He, hasn't the temperature dropped in the past two days? This child caught a cold without paying attention." Mao Lilan said, "But Shinichi also caught a cold. The temperature has changed a lot recently, Mr. Asano must pay attention to keeping warm."

Nobushige nodded in agreement, but he always knew that the change between seasons this year might only take a day or two, so he had specially prepared coats for autumn and winter in the car.

However, there has not yet been a situation where "one day is separated by four seasons and ten o'clock is different from the same day".

On the TV set nearby, Okino Yoko's program had just ended, and the TV station began to insert advertisements.

Mouri Kogoro then turned his attention to the clock and said, "It's time for Conan to get up. He has been sleeping all day."

"Well, that's true. You need to get him up to eat something."

Mao Lilan said while walking up the stairs.

When Conan showed up at the Maori Detective Agency, the child seemed very lethargic.

His eyes were half-closed listlessly, he was wrapped in a thick coat and scarf, his nose was sniffing, and his face was flushed abnormally.

Mao Lilan tested his forehead temperature with the back of her hand and whispered randomly: "Oh, Conan seems to have a fever! Shall I take you to the hospital to see a doctor this afternoon?"

"Well..." Conan hummed twice and sat next to Nobushige, "Brother Asano is here too."

Nobushige looked at the little Conan next to him, and suddenly looked forward to him turning into Kudo Shinichi.

Speaking of which, is it almost time for Conan to recover his body for the first time? Seeing as he has such a bad cold...could it be today?

That was really memorable.

Later, Conan was joined by Haibara Ai, and restoring the body seemed to become a necessary performance item every once in a while. It was far less profound than the first surprise.

"Ding dong——"

The doorbell of the Mori Detective Agency suddenly rang.

"Hey, is there a client here?" Mao Lilan wondered, and opened the door under the excited eyes of Maori Kogoro.

A tall boy stood at the door with one hand in his trouser pocket and his hat held down with the other.

As soon as Mao Lilan opened the door, he said: "You are Kudo Shinichi's girlfriend, right? Hand over Kudo!"

Mao Lilan: "...ah?"

The man passed Mao Lilan and walked straight in, shouting: "I have long heard that Kudo Shinichi has a girlfriend living here. You must have hidden her when Kudo suddenly disappeared."

"Who are you?" Mao Lilan was confused, "Are you Shinichi's friend?"

Conan coughed twice and looked at the rude black man with disdain: "Brother Shinichi certainly doesn't know such an arrogant guy."

Hattori Heiji had the attitude of not giving up if he couldn't find Kudo Shinichi: "I went to your school and asked. Kudo Shinichi has never gone to school again, but a girl named Suzuki Sonoko is sure that you must know Kudo's whereabouts."

Mao Lilan's half-moon eyes: "Sonoko is really..." Then she raised her voice slightly and said, "Although I have called Shinichi, I haven't met him at all since his suspension until now."

"Oh?" Detectives are often good at finding the information they want between the lines, "So you are indeed Kudo's woman?"

"K-Kudo's woman??"

Maori Lan, Conan and Maori Kogoro exclaimed in unison.

Mouri Kogoro stood up with a roar: "What nonsense are you kid?! Kudo Shinichi is not going to snatch Xiaolan away from me!!"

Hattori Heiji looked over: "Uncle, who are you?"

"Ha! You don't know me?!" Kogoro Mouri patted his chest and said, "I am the famous detective Mouri..."

"You should state your name before asking others." Nobuhiro interrupted Mouri Kogoro calmly, his voice was very soft but loud, "This is the most basic courtesy, Hattori-kun."

Conan was stunned.

Hattori? This last name seems familiar to me...

Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows: "Okay, let me introduce myself. I am the high school detective with the same name as Kudo, known as Kansai Hattori - Hattori Heiji!"

"High school detective?!" Under the influence of Kudo Shinichi, as soon as he heard the same name, Mao Lilan immediately felt that the other party seemed very powerful.

Mouri Kogoro curled his lips disdainfully: "Another high school detective."

"Huh?" Conan was surprised, "He is as famous as Kudo Shinichi, and he is from Kansai..."

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he had heard this name from Officer Megure once, but he didn't take it to heart at the time, and later he never saw Hattori Heiji on TV or in newspapers.

This kind of popularity can be said to be as famous as him... This guy is really confident.

Hattori Heiji still didn't know that he was despised by the real owner: "What are you talking about on the phone with Kudo?"

Mao Lilan thought for a while and answered the question: "Well... just talk about some things that happened in life. The mystery novels I read recently, football games, and some things that happened in school. That's it."

Hattori Heiji touched his chin and asked himself: "Didn't he ask you something?"

"Eh?"

Mouri Kogoro felt deeply that he had been ignored, and couldn't help but said: "Hey! I haven't introduced myself yet, but I am famous..."

"Usually when I call you, I will always ask how you are doing and how you are doing, that sort of thing, right?"

"If you say so..." Mao Lilan looked a little sad, and she lowered her head slightly, "Thinking about it this way, it seems that he has never asked me about anything."

Mouri Kogoro: "Hey, hey, hey! Are you listening to me??"
