It was fun to go shopping, and it was even more pleasant to meet three high school students.
But Belmode thought of the annoying FBI who were staring at her and did not stay here any longer.
——After dealing with those guys, come back and have fun with the children.
She wore the guise of a "new doctor" and followed the car to the Metropolitan Police Department to take notes.
It just so happened that her car also needed maintenance.
…
Case resolved.
After this incident, the "errand activities" of Didan Primary School could not continue.
Conan yawned, feeling as if he had forgotten something, but couldn't remember it for a while.
But next to him, there was another person who didn't forget at all.
Jiang Xia carried Conan back who wanted to go home to rest. At the same time, he turned to look at Mao Lilan: "Let's go play with Hattori and the others."
With that said, he looked down at Conan again: "Call your brother Hattori - I think you have been getting along very well the past few times, so your relationship should be very good."
Conan: "..."
Turns out I forgot this...
He sighed and had no choice but to take out his cell phone and dial Hattori Heiji, preparing to trick the person into coming over with him... No, how could it be called cheating? It was just that he had not seen each other for a long time and missed him a little.
…
While Conan was waiting for the answer, he was secretly arranging his words in his mind, thinking about how he would respond if Hattori Heiji asked him "Is Jiangxia here?"
However, no one picked up until the ringing ended.
"..." Conan was startled for a moment, remembered something, and turned to look at Jiang Xia, "Hattori is also a powerful detective after all... Did he guess that you asked me to make the call, so he pretended not to hear it?"
Jiang Xia: "..."
Mao Lilan was quite critical of the black-skinned detective's behavior. She took out her mobile phone and said, "It's okay. I'll call He Ye. They came here together and they should still be together now."
Jiang Xia then looked at her expectantly.
…
Tens of seconds later.
Under the inquiring gaze of two pairs of eyes, Maoli Lannana moved the phone away from her ear.
"No one answered."
After pausing for a moment, she suddenly had a bad premonition and worried: "Is something going to happen? - Kazuye will not help Hattori hide from us, and even she won't answer the phone..."
Jiang Xia thought for a while, then her eyes fell on Conan.
——When Hattori Hei comes to Tokyo, the first person he contacts must be Conan.
"I remember that at the station just now, the email from Hattori said that he had made an appointment with other people to talk about something - maybe they were discussing something important, so they muted their phones, or maybe there was some accident.
"
Jiang Xia said and sighed: "It would be nice to know more details. I heard that Kudo and Hattori have a good relationship. I don't know if Kudo has heard anything from him."
"!!"
Conan was most afraid of someone mentioning "Kudo Shinichi" in front of Mao Lilan. He waved his hands in panic: "Probably not. I, when I contacted Brother Shinichi a while ago, I heard from him that Brother Heiji has been hiding something from him recently.
Especially when it comes to solving crimes, I might be afraid that he will leak information..."
"All right."
Jiang Xia looked away from Conan in disappointment.
But soon, he remembered someone again.
Jiang Xia took out her mobile phone, flipped through the address book, and her eyes dimly lit up: "I almost forgot, I have saved the phone numbers of Mrs. Hattori and Mr. Hattori before - maybe they will have some clues there."
Conan: "..." Mrs. Hattori and Mr. Hattori?
…Do you mean Hattori Heiji’s parents?
The Hattori family has been infiltrated by Jiangxia forces to this extent...
Conan recalled the miserable appearance of Hattori Heiji who tried to avoid Jiangxia several times before but failed repeatedly, and he understood the reason belatedly.
Speaking of which, compared to the somewhat impulsive Hattori Heiji, Jiang Xia does give people a better impression among the elders, looking like a gentle and reliable person... Hey, fortunately, my parents are not like this.
...well, probably.
Mao Lilan didn't think too much. She was a little worried about the two friends who had lost contact. She looked anxiously at Jiang Xia on the phone, hoping that he could ask for some clues.
…
Jiang Xia did find out some news:
"Kazuha's father, Toyama Ginshiro, once had a subordinate named 'Kusukawa Taro'. That man has now resigned and works at Abedo Detective Agency."
Toyama Ginshiro and Hattori Heizo were close superiors and subordinates, and they talked about everything in casual conversation, including this situation.
"A few days ago, Taro Kusukawa wrote an email to Ginshiro Toyama, saying that he had something important to talk to him about, and then there was no news from him. This was probably what Hattori said he needed to deal with urgently.
"
Conan nodded, his mentality was quite calm - he and Hattori Heiji were both high school detectives, and Hattori Heiji's force value was even higher than him. Just as Conan had always been very confident about himself, he was also very confident about Hattori Heiji.
He didn't think something would happen to Hattori Heiji, but secretly guessed: Hattori might have encountered some difficult case, so he used "business" as an excuse to ask Toyama and Ye to mute their cell phones with him so that they could hide the case.
People check secretly.
Conan: "..." Forget it if you hide it from Jiang Xia, why should you hide it with the reliable Kudo Shinichi?
...Does he look like the kind of partial classmate who would snitch on Jiang Xia?
Huh, that's the case. This time he supports Jiang Xia - find Hattori as soon as possible and seize his case to investigate together.
…
The three of them quickly reached an agreement based on various considerations.
Based on the news about the friendly sponsorship from Hattori's father, they got on the train and went to Abedo Detective Agency.
…
It is different from the sparsely populated "Amuro Detective Agency" and "Moori Detective Agency".
Aipido Detective Agency is larger, with an ordinary office room inside, and each workstation belongs to a busy detective.
Unfortunately, Taro Kusukawa is not among them.
The bald man who was being spoken to touched his shiny head and frowned: "Nanchuan? Why is there another one looking for him?"
Jiang Xia looked at his watch, not forgetting to accurately grasp the key words: "Again? Someone came to see him before?"
"Yes, it's a high school detective like you, with a high school girl, but one child is missing." The uncle patted Conan's head.
Conan's eyes twitched and he wanted to run away.
However, thinking that he still had questions to ask at this time, he endured the humiliation and showed the innocent smile of a child: "Does uncle know where they went?"
"I didn't notice. I'm not very familiar with Kusukawa. And it was Noda who hosted them at the time." The bald man thought for a while, "Noda went to deliver a mission report to a client. He will be back soon. You can ask him later.
Just ask."
…
Rather than searching blindly, it would be more cost-effective to wait for "Detective Noda".
There happened to be a cafe nearby, and a few people went there instead of waiting in the crowded detective office.
On the way, Mao Lilan looked around and said to Jiang Xia belatedly: "Huh? Isn't this the neighborhood we just visited?"
