In front of Nagato's house, two cars stopped one after another. A housekeeper stepped forward and helped open the door to greet the guests.
"I didn't expect you, President Hanyu, to come with me. I must be very happy. He always mentioned before that he must invite you to host his funeral." The butler, who has white beard and hair and looks quite old, said
Said enthusiastically.
Mouri Kogoro, who had just gotten out of the car on the other side, heard this and said with a strange expression: "Isn't it a bit bad for you to say that about President Nagato..."
The housekeeper smiled slightly and said calmly: "I don't mean to be disrespectful to you by saying this. I have been the housekeeper of the Nagato family since I was the former president. I also watched you grow up, but he is now...
"
"well……"
With a sigh, the atmosphere suddenly became gloomy. Hanyu Kiyosu didn't say much. It was estimated that President Nagato might ask him for help with treatment and life extension soon.
Invite Mouri Kogoro to come, maybe he learned it from Chairman Nagato and the Yotsui family.
But... this is not something you should learn... It's better to ask yourself directly, it's not that dangerous at least.
Once Kogoro Mouri and Conan come, what will happen?
"Amuro, you should go back to work first. You don't have to come to pick us up." Hanyu Qing'an turned around and said to Amuro Tohru, then followed the housekeeper through the door.
Before they had taken two steps, they heard Mouri Kogoro suddenly scream. Everyone quickly looked around and saw him sitting in a pit.
"..." Mao Lilan covered her face, then sorted out her awkward mood and went to rescue him, "Dad, can't you watch your steps carefully?"
"Who knew there would be a pit in the yard?!" Mouri Kogoro said angrily.
The housekeeper said apologetically: "I'm very sorry. I recently planned to plant some trees near the pool, so construction is currently underway."
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the pool and felt that it looked familiar.
After the housekeeper noticed it, he smiled kindly and said, "The young lady in the garden used to play here and fell in. I was shocked at that time."
"Uh...no wonder it looks familiar." Suzuki Sonoko said with a stern expression.
Hanyu Qing'an whispered: "Sure enough, I was a naughty bag when I was young..."
"What did you say?" Suzuki Sonoko said in a bad tone, and stretched her hand to his waist.
"It's nothing, I said you were so cute when you were little." Hanyu Qing'an immediately followed the good example and changed his words.
"That's pretty much it." Suzuki Sonoko smiled proudly, her eyebrows stretched.
Mao Lilan on the side suddenly felt that something was wrong. After not seeing her for a few days, Yuanzi... seemed to have changed.
Mao Lilan didn't know the specific differences in the transition from a girl to a woman, but she was very familiar with Yuanzi, and she could clearly feel that Yuanzi's temperament seemed different.
It seems to be a little less childish, and the whole person seems to have changed from a flower to a blooming flower, feeling relaxed.
"Yuanzi, have you experienced anything recently?" Mao Lilan couldn't help but pulled Yuanzi and asked in a low voice.
Suzuki Sonoko's eyes wandered, and she looked around and said, "I have been very busy recently. The shrine was opened before, and there were a lot of things. Fortunately, they are all over."
Mao Lilan looked at her suspiciously and became more and more sure of her guess. Sonoko and Hanyu-kun had been living together for a while, so it seemed normal for something to happen.
"Do your parents know?"
The corner of Suzuki Sonoko's mouth twitched, her parents sold her long ago, what's the use of talking about it now? But why is Xiaolan still holding on to her...
"By the way, where are the photos? Where are the photos of Conan's miko costume that we promised? It's been several days, and you haven't gotten it yet, right?" Suzuki Sonoko changed the subject.
Gu Shi
As expected, Mao Lilan's attention was diverted, and she said confidently: "Don't worry, I will let Conan perform the Kagura dance for you when I get back."
Suzuki Sonoko gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised: "Not bad, Xiaolan, you are finally strong."
A few people chatted and laughed as they entered the villa. What they saw was a spacious hall and... a few policemen.
"Ah, that person looks familiar." Conan looked at a man in a brown suit among the police and felt as if he had seen him recently.
"Who looks familiar?" Mouri Kogoro turned to look at him, but he didn't recognize him at all.
"President Hanyu, I didn't expect to see you here. It's a great honor. I'm the chief of the Osaka Police Department, Hattori Heizo."
A middle-aged man with a long face and a dignified appearance came forward to say hello.
Hanyu Qing'an nodded and said, this man also went to the opening ceremony before, "Does Director Hattori have something to do here?"
A director in Osaka obviously has no law enforcement power in Tokyo. If there is anything wrong with staying here, the biggest thing recently is the series of impacts brought about by the opening of Hanyu Shrine and the talks.
Most likely, the Metropolitan Police Department and local bureaus have not yet completed communication on the matter, or have not yet formulated a clear strategy on how to deal with the mysterious side in the future.
However, Hattori Heizo said: "It's just some private matters. Chairman Nagato is my senior and also my senior in the Kendo Club. He asked me to help investigate some things."
"Then why did you ask Uncle Maoli to come again?"
Conan found it strange. Now he remembered that the chief of the Osaka Police Department often appeared on TV before.
He is a very capable person, and he is obviously not on the same page as the policemen in the Metropolitan Police Department. With him here, there is actually no need to look for Uncle Maori.
Wait...this director's surname is Hattori...hiss...could it be...
"Hey, Kudo, ah, it's not...Conan, long time no see." Hattori Heiji suddenly appeared from behind, slapped Conan on the head, and rubbed it.
"Hey, you guy, could this be your fault?" Conan whispered dissatisfiedly, not bothering to correct his title. Anyway, Uncle Maori didn't know anything about it.
Hattori Heiji laughed, "That's me. My dad has to rush to a meeting soon and doesn't have time to investigate the case, so I suggest that you come over. How about we have a fair duel?"
Conan crossed his arms and looked unhappy, "With President Hanyu here, what's the matter with the detective?"
Hattori Heiji retorted: "That's not necessarily true. There are no dead people this time, and Onmyoji cannot find the murderer by resurrecting the dead. This is the time for detectives to shine!"
Conan's heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly: "If there is no death, then it is not a murder case. What is the specific situation?"
"We'll keep it a secret for now, and we'll talk about it later," Hattori Heiji said with a wink.
Toyama and Ye also followed him out at some point, and said unhappily: "What is it about that kid that attracts this guy Heiji so much? Is he the reincarnation of a vixen?"
Mao Lilan gave her a funny look, wondering why she was still jealous of a child or a boy, "It's just that we have similar interests, we are both detective fans."
"I really don't know what's so good about detective reasoning, ugh..." Yuan Shan and Ye sighed.
Suzuki Sonoko said with the same hatred: "It means that these reasoning madmen like to abandon their charming girlfriends and go out to solve crimes every day."
"Who is his girlfriend!" Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye shouted in unison.
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. These two people are really interesting, but aren't they too obvious? They still talk hard.
Others heard the sound and looked around, only to see three girls chattering in a huddle, not knowing why.
