Chapter 342 Is It Really Too Much to Play with the Electric Current?
Chapter 342 Electric current...is it too much fun?
"Well..."
Mouri Kogoro hesitated.
A sudden invitation from Hattori Heiji.
In fact, he was not very interested.
After all, as an adult, he still has a lot to do.
For example, betting on horse racing...
However, looking at the pity-loving beauty in front of him, Mouri Kogoro still vowed: "Leave this kid to me!"
"..."
Fujino glanced at Mouri Kogoro silently.
So Uncle Maori is still so open-minded.
There is no resistance at all to the beauty's request.
Hattori Shizuka nodded, feeling relatively reassured about Fujino and Mouri Kogoro.
…………
It was already very late, and although Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha had already brought their luggage, Fujino and his party did not know that they were going on a trip.
Helpless, they could only let the two of them and Hattori Shizuka stay in Shizuoka for one night. Fujino took Mori and his family back to Tokyo, and took the Shinkansen to Fukuoka to meet up the next day, and then headed to the destination of Fukui Prefecture together. .
Shizuka Hattori did not go to Fukui with the group. After arriving at the starting point of Nagoya, she separated from the others and took the Shinkansen back to Osaka.
However, before leaving, she still worriedly told Hattori Heiji: "When you are with Mr. Mori and Fujino-kun, you must be honest and don't cause trouble."
"What do you mean I'm causing trouble..."
Hattori Heiji was speechless.
It was obvious that every trouble was caused by Fujino and that boy Kudo.
He just went along!
Why do you listen to the tone of my mother...
Is he himself the one causing the trouble?
"It's just because of your frizzy look that I'm worried..."
Hattori Shizuka was a little helpless about her son.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and she walked forward slowly, leaned into Hattori Heiji's ear and said, "Also, don't bully that kid Fujino..."
"ha?!"
Hattori Heiji was surprised: "Obasan, what are you talking about?"
Why did he bully that kid Fujino?
Fujino is still a child, a naughty child like that?
And he has never bullied that guy. What does bullying mean?
Recalling some things from the past, Hattori Heiji felt his throat was a little tight.
"Um?"
Hattori Shizuka's expression became slightly more serious, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes gradually became colder.
"Oh oh oh!"
Hattori Heiji shuddered and nodded repeatedly.
"It's not easy for that Fujino kid. He has to live on his own without his family. It's a lot harder than you. If someone is sincere to you, you can't bully them all the time..."
Hattori Jinghua's expression remained unchanged and she reached out and patted Hattori Heiji's shoulder: "Anyway, just understand. Last time you had a car accident, wasn't someone helping to reconnect the bones? Even if you are incompetent, you can't do anything ungrateful. Talking bad about people behind their backs.”
"Obviously you didn't follow me to the hospital last time...how on earth did you know?"
Hattori Heiji automatically ignored the previous paragraph and complained secretly in his heart.
Fujino, who was listening furtively on the side, nodded secretly, feeling secretly in his heart that Aunt Jinghua was kind-hearted and able to understand his good intentions.
"Um?"
Hattori Shizuka seemed to feel something, and looked at Hattori Heiji with a frown, as if he already knew what the other person was thinking.
The momentum around him has risen by more than one level.
"I see!"
Hattori Heiji couldn't believe it and looked at his mother whose momentum was soaring, feeling speechless for a while.
Is this really my mother?
Why are your elbows turned outward?
"As long as you know……"
Hattori Shizuka's complexion relaxed a lot. After thinking about it, she suddenly asked: "By the way, do you know what Hokage is?"
"Hokage?"
Hattori Heiji who heard the sound was also a little confused.
He hadn't heard the term either.
After thinking about it, he asked hesitantly: "What does Hokage... mean?"
"It's nothing...it's just a word I heard by chance. I felt it might be a popular word among you young people, so I mentioned it."
Seeing that his son didn't know what Hokage meant, Shizuka Hattori did not continue to ask.
"Ding bell! The train from Nagoya to Osaka is about to leave. Passengers on this train are asked to board as soon as possible."
At this time, the station's announcement suddenly sounded.
"OK OK!"
Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji hurriedly tugged on Hattori Shizuka's clothes: "Since you know that you are no longer a young man, go home quickly, Obasan."
"..."
Hattori Shizuka stepped away and sighed, feeling a little tired.
Obviously, when I was a child, I would listen to her in everything, but now I am always talking about Obasan.
Why does your personality become worse as you grow older?
Is it because of adolescent rebellion?
"In that case, I will leave it to you and Heiheji!"
Turning around and greeting everyone politely, Shizuka Hattori fixed his eyes on Fujino, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes.
Originally she thought her son was being bullied by others.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that his son bullied him.
He even came over to tease the orphan who made a living...
Why do I feel a little guilty?
…………
Fukui, on the ferry to Mermaid Island.
The sea breeze blew gently, and a small ferry sailed on the calm sea, with white ripples on both sides.
"Really!"
Mouri Kogoro leaned on the guardrail beside the boat, holding a cigarette, and looked at Hattori Heiji beside him with resentment: "You kid, can't you thank me? You suddenly ran over without prior notice and said you were going to Fukui to investigate some commission or something."
"Haha, what does it matter..."
Hattori Heiji smiled, "Anyway, I paid for this trip, you can just treat it as a trip... And I also told Conan in advance.
"Ha...ah?"
Conan, who was also leaning on the guardrail next to him, was suddenly stunned, and the yawn he was about to yawn was swallowed back.
"I don't know if it's good or not. "
Mouri Kogoro glanced at Conan: "What's the point of telling this kind of thing to an unreliable little brat..."
Conan smiled helplessly.
Then he narrowed his eyes and glanced at Hattori Heiji with resentment.
You can treat me, but why are you bringing this matter to me?
"It's nothing for me."
Mouri Kogoro looked at Fujino beside him: "It's mainly because Fujino drove back to Tokyo overnight, went to bed at one in the morning, and had to get up early the next morning to take the Shinkansen... Fujino must not have even slept, right?"
"That's not the case, it's just a normal schedule."
Fujino looked at the sea where the sea and the sky meet.
"Normal schedule?"
Mouri Kogoro raised his eyebrows: "Fujian, what time do you usually go to bed?"
"A little after twelve, sometimes one... and then sleep until four or five in the morning of the next day. "
Fuji responded calmly.
In fact, he only needs to sleep three or four hours a day.
In extreme cases, two hours can restore the energy for the whole day.
"That won't work."
Mouri Kogoro was a little worried: "Sleeping four or five hours a day can easily lead to sudden death... How about you take a nap when you get there?"
"No need."
Fujino waved his hand: "I usually do this, and I have enough energy."
"That's good..."
Mouri Kogoro nodded, turned his head and asked Hattori Heiji curiously: "But by the way, kid, you just said it's a small island in Fukui, but which island are we going to?"
"It's an isolated island located in several narrow bays, called American Island."
Hattori Heiji said seriously: "And the locals call it... the island where mermaids live."
"The island where mermaids live?"
Mouri Kogoro took a puff of the cigarette, and rarely showed some interest: "So there are beautiful mermaids on it? "
"Well..."
Hattori Heiji smiled helplessly: "I heard that there is an old lady on that island who ate mermaid meat and became immortal, so the name came from that."
"I've heard of that island!"
At this time, Xiaolan, who was chatting with another good girlfriend, came over.
Xiaolan was wearing a white turtleneck sweater and a green suit. When she heard a few people talking about the Mermaid Island, she suddenly asked with interest: "Is it the immortal old lady who was popular three years ago?"
"I heard about it too."
Yuyama Kazuha on the side was also very interested, squinting and smiling: "I also wanted to see the rumors about this island, so I thought of coming here with this guy Heiji. If I can keep myself young and beautiful forever, it would be great..."
"Yes!"
Xiaolan suddenly smiled and covered her mouth: "Use youth and beauty to make Hattori fall in love with you..."
"Hey hey!"
Kazuha suddenly panicked: "Don't talk so loudly!"
"You are still very young now, okay? ! ”
Conan glanced at the gossiping Xiaolan and Kazuha, and was speechless.
But he didn't expect that Xiaolan and Kazuha actually believed in immortality.
Is the little girl so easy to fool?
If you can really live forever...
Wait?
Thinking of this, Conan was suddenly stunned, and his pupils slightly dilated: "Isn't this just rejuvenation? ! ”
"Mermaids are really boring things. If you ask me, they are not as interesting as nuns who have lived for 800 years."
Mouri Kogoro was a little disappointed, and his interest was lost.
He thought that mermaids were beautiful girls wearing kimonos and their lower body was a fish tail.
Unexpectedly, it was an old lady...
He took a deep puff of cigarette, looking a little melancholy: "This time, the client didn't just want to see the so-called mermaid, so he initiated the commission, and then you dragged me to come and find it, right? Let me say first, I'm too lazy to do this stupid job of finding mermaids. ”
"No! ”
Hattori Heiji decisively refused: “If it is such a request, even I would think it is a joke.”
"Completely contrary to wanting to find the mermaid, the letter this time the client wrote to me only contained a short sentence: 'I am about to be killed by the mermaid, please save me!' Such a paragraph was written with trembling handwriting. "
"Mermaid?!"
"Killed!"
The other people were slightly stunned.
"Menxie yarn weaving."
Fujino's expression on the side remained unchanged, and he suddenly spoke.
"ah?"
Hattori Heiji was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly asked: "Fujino, how did you know the client's name?"
"Isn't this a simple thing?"
Fujino turned his head and looked at Hattori Heiji, as if looking at a fool: "Isn't the client allowed to send a commission letter to two detectives?"
"Did she also send you a letter of entrustment?"
Hattori Heiji was surprised.
"Yes, not only the commission letter, but also a meeting."
Fujino nodded slightly: "I even paid the commission a few days ago. Strictly speaking, she should be my client."
"Then do you know where she is now?!"
Hattori Heiji suddenly said excitedly: "She left her contact information, but when I called, although the other end of the phone was connected, there was a burst of women's voices, and there was a faint sound. There was a heavy, strange muffled sound, and even the sound of electricity... After that, the phone couldn't be connected at all, so I decided to come over and have a look."
"Is it possible that that person has been killed by the mermaid?!"
"What happened to her, Fujino-senpai?!"
Xiaolan and Kazuye both looked frightened and asked Fujino curiously.
The cigarette in Mouri Kogoro's hand shook and fell directly into the sea.
Why do you feel that Hattori's description is a bit inappropriate?
Electric current...it's too much fun to play with, isn't it?
"Well..."
Fujino thought for a moment: "She was kidnapped in broad daylight on the day she came to Tokyo and asked me to go back."
"Kidnapped??"
Hattori Heiji was a little surprised.
This is the first time he has encountered a client being kidnapped.
Of course, he usually doesn't have any entrustments.
Conan also looked serious after hearing this, and began to think secretly in his heart.
After being told, he was killed by the mermaid and then kidnapped.
There must be a conspiracy behind this!
"Hey hey!"
Hattori Heiji couldn't sit still: "You already knew that she was kidnapped. Didn't you investigate?"
"Of course we investigated. After all, I am also the criminal police consultant of the Criminal Department, and she is also my client. I rushed to the scene of the crime as soon as possible and shared the information with the police."
"I see. If that's the case, did you find out anything?"
"Absolutely not."
Hattori Heiji:"……"
You still haven't checked?
With your skills, you can probably get the person back on the same day!
Fujino's dull eyes narrowed slightly and looked at the sea.
Of course he didn't investigate.
Can we still investigate this matter?
Can he still say that the client was kidnapped and the murderer was himself?
As for the previous phone call, it should have been the one he received when he was working on the prisoner awakening, repentance, and rehabilitation project.
It's just that Hattori's description is a bit strange...
It is obvious that he is carrying out a mermaid transformation project. It is a very serious job and the people being transformed are very happy. Why do you say it so harshly?
