The hotel lobby manager looked at the familiar middle-aged man in front of him with a "Don't amuse me" expression on his face.
“This hotel has never accepted reservations from groups like that...”
The lobby manager had sweat on his face, and after confirming it again, he said to Kogoro Mori firmly.
"ha?!"
At this time, Maori, his daughter, and Heye were all a little dumbfounded.
"Hey! Please check carefully. It should come with breakfast and dinner!" Mouri Kogoro's eyes widened.
"But really..." The lobby manager was also helpless.
"Wait a minute, what is going on..." A bad premonition arose in both of their minds at the same time as Ye Xiaolan.
…
On the other side, after a period of sailing, the yacht finally arrived at its destination, a small island that looked quite deserted.
"I am responsible for taking care of everyone's reception this time, Kotani Renzo... please give me your advice."
An old man with a broad chin, gray hair and stooped body wearing glasses and squinting eyes stood on the shore with his hands behind his back, greeting several people who were disembarking from the boat.
"Then I will take you to the cabin right away..."
Koutani Renzo was about to turn around and lead the way when Hattori Heiji behind him patted the director Hiroo Tsutsuki on the shoulder with great interest:
"Hey, uncle director, if the high school detective from the East is not here, I would like to discuss it with you..."
How could Conan not know what this dark-skinned high school detective had planned, and he quickly tried to stop him: "Hey, hey..."
"What?" But Kabutani Renzo turned around in confusion, "The contestants representing the East have arrived early this morning and are resting in the hut..."
He looked at the hut in front of him and raised his eyebrows: "And that person also brought an assistant... It's quite pretentious to say the least."
"What did you say? Really?"
Conan and Heiji really didn’t expect that Touhou’s contestants had arrived. When it comes to Touhou’s high school detectives, most people’s first reaction would be Kudo Shinichi, but both of them knew that Kudo Shinichi would definitely not be able to look like a high school student.
Appeared, so...who could this person be?
"Yes, I remember his name..."
Jia Gu Lian San supported the mirror frame and pushed open the door of the hut while thinking about it.
After entering the door, everyone saw two people sitting in the living room.
A well-dressed and well-dressed young handsome guy with blond hair and the appearance of a high school student crossed his legs, holding his chin and looking up at the door.
Sitting on the seat next to him was a man wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap, leaning against the back of the chair as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed.
"Detective White Horse!" Conan's face changed when he saw the blond man, and he blurted out.
"Uh...who is he?" Hattori Heiji's reaction when he saw Conan was also a little startled.
Conan explained a few words to him in a low voice.
In fact, he doesn't have many interactions with Detective White Horse. The main reason is that they experienced an incident together in the Golden Pavilion last time. But the trouble is that this keen high school detective should have realized that he is not an ordinary detective.
of primary school students...
"Well, since the high school detectives from the east, west, south and north are all here, please introduce yourselves." Tsutsuo Hiroshi closed the door and immediately started organizing.
"Okay, okay... but there are no cameras filming, is it really okay?" Junya Tokizu said to the director while looking at the environment.
"Not to mention the cameras, I didn't even see half of the TV station staff..." Hattori Heiji curled his lips.
"Uh... other staff and entertainers are not scheduled to come until tomorrow morning. Please gather first. I want you all to get familiar with each other first..." Tsuchio Hiroshi explained.
"It's just that tomorrow I'll ask you to face the camera and repeat it again. Now it's just a rehearsal..." he added.
"Then let's start with me..."
Seeing that the director had said this, the few people stopped criticizing. Koshimi Nanatsuki took off his headphones and said to everyone: "My name is Koshimi Nanatsuki. I am a third-year high school student. I was born in Fukuoka. I am a detective for high school students in the south."
Representative. I am just starting out and have only solved about 100 cases. Please be merciful..."
Tokizu Junya then said: "I am Tokizu Junya. Although I was born in Tokyo, I grew up in Hokkaido. That's why I was selected as the representative of the north, right? I have handled about 300 cases, among which
More than 250 people have been arrested and prosecuted...because there are also many cases where the murderer escaped or committed suicide before being arrested..."
Hattori Heiji did not hesitate to give in. He raised his thick eyebrows and said: "I am Hattori Heiji. I am a well-known detective in Kansai. Well... the cases I have solved include..."
He counted on his fingers, and soon he said: "Oh, after more than a thousand items, I will lose count!"
Koshimi Nanatsuki seemed to be frightened by this number: "A thousand pieces?! Really?"
"It's amazing..." Toki Jinjunzai commented nonchalantly.
"...Are you exaggerating too much?" Conan, who knew him well, poked him with his elbow and beeped softly.
"It's true! If you include the time when you helped others find cats when you were a kid..." Hattori Heiji was quite thick-skinned, and Conan felt that he had turned into a bit of a Maori uncle...
"So, you are Hattori Heiji? I often hear my father mention you, and I heard that you are a detective with keen intuition..." Hakuba said from the side.
"Huh?" Hattori Heiji never liked asking Hakuba for such a pretty face, so he responded angrily, "Why does your father know about me?"
"Because he is the same as Brother Heji! Right, Brother Hakuba?" Conan made a smooth move at the right time.
"Well, my father is the police chief. It just so happens that his family background is very similar to yours. As for the cases, a rough estimate is that there are about 500 cases..."
Seeing the joking smile that soon appeared on Hattori Heiji's face, he continued unhurriedly: "It's just that this is a case only in Japan... because I have been studying in the UK for many years and only occasionally return to Japan.
, but my mother-in-law always likes to help me take over other people’s commissions without authorization..."
He took a step aside, allowing everyone's attention to focus on the man wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses:
"By the way, this is my... uh... assistant, but he will not participate in this detective showdown..."
A hoarse voice came from the "assistant": "That's right. I just followed the island to take a look at the situation because I was worried. I won't have any interference with the recording of this program. I'll wait for you later."
I'll just go around the island by myself, don't worry about me..."
Conan and Heiji looked at this man and frowned in unison.
The detective's intuition told them that this was not the first time they had seen this "assistant"...
