It was a sunny morning in the Mori Detective Agency. Detective Kudo Shinichi, a former elementary school student who turned into a high school student, opened his eyes in a daze, and then stretched out a big stretch.
He raised his watch and looked at the time. His consciousness, which was still a little awake, seemed to be pricked by a needle, and he suddenly woke up.
"It's already nine o'clock in the morning?! I actually slept for ten hours?!"
The next moment, he breathed a sigh of relief again - fortunately, today was the Sunday before consecutive holidays, so he didn't have to worry about being late for school.
Last night, he, the Mori father and his daughter, and Hattori Heiji didn't go home until ten o'clock in the evening - needless to say, it was really difficult not to trigger a case with the Death buff that this group of people had stacked up.
The sad tragedy that happened in the temple last night is really something that people don't want to recall, and it is logical that Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha stayed in the Mori Detective Agency.
Conan looked at Hattori Heiji's bed beside him. It was empty.
"He seemed to have said before going to bed yesterday that he wanted to get up early. He must have gone back, right?"
He walked into the bathroom and unexpectedly saw a conspicuous black figure.
"Why are you still here?! Didn't you say you wanted to get up early and return?"
"Return?" This time it was Hattori Heiji's turn to be surprised. He brushed his teeth and looked at Conan: "I'm not ready to go back yet..."
"Huh?" Conan was stunned.
While eating breakfast, the Mori father and daughter and Conan finally heard Hattori Heiji tell the whole story.
"Uninhabited island? You want to go to that kind of place?" Uncle Maori was very surprised.
"Did you receive a commission for any case?" Xiaolan also asked curiously.
Heye immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, it's just a boring plan of the TV station."
Heiji glanced at her sideways: "You don't need to talk."
"Then can we make it in time for the ferry?" Xiaolan's expression became nervous. Because they all got up quite late in the morning and are still having breakfast leisurely here. Can they really catch up and not be late?
"Don't worry, it's not too late to leave now." Hattori Heiji was relieved.
"Then why did you get up early?" Mouri Kogoro didn't understand.
"I originally planned to get up early and go take a look, but uncle, you snored so loudly that I didn't sleep well."
Hattori Heiji shrugged: "Let's go and see what the faces and personalities of those selected besides me are like...those high school detectives like me."
"High school detective?" Hattori Heiji's words immediately caught Conan's attention.
"That's right! Nippon TV has summoned several high school detectives from across the country. I heard that they are going to compete to see who is the best in Japan..."
Hattori Heiji paused for a few seconds: "The name of the project is...Detective Koshien!"
"Detective, Detective Koshien?" Conan and Maori and his daughter were a little stunned.
Koshien is the designated stadium for the Japan National High School Baseball Championship, synonymous with Japanese high school baseball, and other competitive games are often compared to Koshien.
It's just that Detective Koshien... is a little bit happy.
"So, I advised him not to participate, because even if he went to such an event, he would only be fooled..." Heye smiled helplessly.
Heiji shook his head: "I originally thought so, but I can't help it. After all, the beginning of the invitation letter said... I hope that I, Heiji Hattori, will participate as a representative of the West!"
He looked at a primary school student with evil intentions: "Since I am the representative of the West, then the East is naturally..."
"Shinichi?"
Xiaolan almost blurted out.
"Ah! Xiaolan blushed -" He Ye seemed to have discovered a new world, with teasing and ridicule in his tone.
"Ahem, it's because it's hotter today..." Xiaolan tugged at her collar to hide it.
"So talk about that little detective!" Mouri Kogoro's father's intuition made him instinctively reject Kudo Shinichi.
"It should come." He Ye, who didn't know the inside story, said with a smile.
Conan looked unhappy and glared at Hattori Heiji.
This guy clearly knew that Kudou Shinichi was here, and yet he said such words on purpose. It really... made people want to beat him up.
"How about it? Uncle and Xiaolan, do you want to come too? It is said that they have also booked the traveler's hotel. And maybe that cool oriental high school student detective Kudo Shinichi will also come and join in as if nothing happened...
"
Hattori Heiji walked up to Conan quite shamelessly, said some rude words and stroked Conan's head.
"As for Detective Koshien...if Mr. Minamoto participates, there might not be any suspense, right? Oh no, Mr. Minamoto is not a high school student..."
To dampen the arrogance of his childhood sweetheart, Yuan Shan and Ye said angrily.
Kogoro Mouri, Conan Edogawa and Heiji Hattori froze at the same time.
Even though each of them is extremely confident in their own reasoning level, when they think of that man, they don't even have the faint idea of competition in their hearts.
There was no way. If they were reasoning based on the clues at the scene when solving the case, then Yuan Huaiyu could be said to be as relaxed as telling a story to others with a script.
Conan felt that only his father Yusaku Kudo's reasoning level could compete with Mr. Gen.
And if Kudo Yusaku comes to participate in "Detective Koshien" where all high school students are present, it will probably be a dimensionality reduction attack, right?
…
Yuan Huaiyu, who had been missed by everyone, was looking at the invitation letter in his hand.
"Detective Koshien? What a childish name..." Haihara Ai passed by him, accidentally caught a glimpse of the words on the invitation, and complained mercilessly.
Yuan Huaiyu was convinced: "That's it. This kind of childish detective's house game, I'm afraid only a kid like Kudo, who gets excited and energetic when it comes to competing with other detectives, would rush up to it, right?"
"Oh? That's right." Haihara Ai sat down opposite him with a magazine, "So? You will still go, right? If you didn't want to go, you would have thrown this invitation into the trash can long ago.
It’s in.”
"You still understand me." Yuan Huaiyu smiled, "I will participate as an assistant to one of the detectives. His father and I can barely say that we have some friendship."
"Can you tell me?" Haiyuan Ai put down the magazine and looked at his face, "The reason why you want to participate in this thing."
She knew very well that if a person like Yuan Huaiyu could just lie down at home, he would never be willing to get involved in something so troublesome at first glance. There must be something behind it.
"Is there any reason..." A helpless smile appeared on Yuan Huaiyu's face.
"Maybe I just don't want someone I admire to get involved with me because of so-called hatred..."
