Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

The recruitment job was sent to Nobuno Mita and the others. Mr. Yoshioka went home first, took a shower, changed out of his smelly clothes, and then asked the newcomers to drive him back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon. You've had a really long meal."

In the chief's office, Nan Zhengzong slapped the chess piece in his hand on the table and said softly: "General."

"Sir's shogi skills have really improved a lot. I think he can compete with professional shogi players."

"You are honoring me again..."

After Tokuizumi put down his chess pieces and admitted defeat, he stood up respectfully, moved sideways to the table, and gave up the chair facing Minami Masamune to Mr. Yoshioka.

"All the equipment that the mobile team has replaced has been sent to you. They are all in the equipment room on the first floor of the police station."

Moving the chair forward, Yuji rested his back, and couldn't help but sigh that it was great to have a grandpa.

"Are they the three quasi-police police officers you arranged?" Mr. Nan took out three intelligence sheets from the drawer and placed Tianhai Yuxi's blank information sheet on the top: "Don't use it lightly for people with unknown origins."

"I know her origin, and it can be used." Holding his chin, Yuji looked at the only real photo on the information sheet.

After two days, he roughly figured out that Curaçao did not really have amnesia, but why he didn't return to the organization to find Rum, he couldn't figure it out for the time being. But what is certain is that Curacao is the same as in the original book, and is not a particularly outrageous group of brain-dead people.

"Okay, then I won't care about this." Minami Masamune put the information sheet back in the drawer: "Osaka's police minister just got off the plane and is now rushing to the Metropolitan Police Department."

After taking the crutch from Tokizumi, he returned to the frail little old man and motioned for Yoshioka to follow him.

"The reception will be held in the banquet hall No. 4 on the third floor of the Mihua Hotel. They are all senior executives and their children, so..."

Minami Masamune suddenly stopped and looked at Yuji with a fierce look: "Remember to bring Kaori here."

It's been almost a month since he heard his granddaughter's voice. The old man misses his solitary and rebellious granddaughter.

……

"Is this okay? Heye, we originally made a reservation to treat you to a meal, but now we're here with you to attend this banquet."

Wearing a formal dress, Ran held Conan's hand and walked beside Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha.

"It's okay, Xiaolan. Anyway, the Chief's Office of the Metropolitan Police Department here will take care of Uncle Hattori. We just need to stay aside and not talk."

Xiaolan is a good friend. What does this kind of thing have to do with anything? The only thing we need to pay attention to is...

Toyama Kazuha looked at Machiko Kurosawa who was drinking Coke behind Xiaolan with strange eyes, and had not forgotten the incident in Kyoto when she was so obsessed with Heiji that he fell into a coma.

"Xiaolan, does that girl have a boyfriend now?"

That girl?

Following Kazuya's line of sight and seeing Machiko, the one-horned girl knew almost immediately what she was thinking, and smiled to comfort Toyama Kazuha.

"Don't worry, Kazuha. Anyway, Heiji's heart must be with you. Besides, Machiko... already has someone she likes."

He noticed that Xiaolan's eyes were so thick that they were almost dripping with water, and Kazuye trembled all over. He also noticed that Conan, whose face was so gloomy that he almost fell into the water, sighed in his heart at the complexity of the Maori Detective Agency.

"Hey, Hattori Police Chief, it's been a long time." Hakuba Police Chief walked towards Hattori Police Chief who was standing at the front with a big belly. At the same time, he also introduced to him all the people who are still working in the Metropolitan Police Department. Minister, as well as the four chiefs of the National Police Agency.

"The previous director of the Transportation Bureau and the Director of the Security Bureau..."

Hattori Heizo had long known that someone was forced to retire, so he interrupted these people who wanted to come over to be polite with a simple sentence.

"The Chief of the Police Department will be here soon. Minister Hattori can ask him directly." After decades of being high-level officials, these people are not the kind of people who are willing to look down on them.

The original plan was to win over the police minister who controlled Osaka, so that they could impeach Minami Masamune and force him to step down later, but in the end, this guy didn't give him any face.

Everyone dispersed and had no intention of talking to Hattori Heizo anymore. Only the Hakuba police chief stayed.

"You are retiring soon, are you still going to play with them in this mess?" Hattori Heizo's expression softened slightly, and he pushed his son behind him to him: "This is my son Hattori Heiji's first time. See you."

"What a coincidence, my son also brought his friends here today, right behind me." The White Horse Police Director smiled and scratched his neck: "When he went to study in the UK, he was bewitched by the mystery stories there, and he had to do something. Detective Sherlock Holmes, I have a terrible headache right now.”

As if meeting someone of the same kind, Hattori Heizo chatted more cordially with his nominal superior.

"That's too far away, Tan!"

The White Horse Police Chief turned sideways and was about to introduce his son when he heard him making calls with two mobile phones. The content was unbearable.

"Having an old man with a white beard would be detrimental to a Pomeranian, so you want to borrow money from me to buy it? Yes, but you have to pay it back regularly. Counting the feed expenses you recently paid for raising Watson for me, every day Just pay me back 50,000 yen a month."

At this moment, Detective White Horse was smiling evilly, looking very treacherous: "As for the consequences of not paying back, you should know, after all, my father is the police chief..."

He hung up the phone on his right hand and put the one on his left to his ear: "How's it going? Have you found out where Shizuka is?... You haven't found out yet?! It seems I still have to go into battle in person, Kaito. The bastard doesn't know where he hid his sister..."

His face looked anxious, and he knew that Shizuka was very important to him.

"You should also investigate! If you are too lazy to let me know, you should know. After all, my father is the police chief..."

It sounded like those people lying on the ground in daily life. Hattori Heiji looked up at his father speechlessly, as if to say whether he was very proud of him.

"It seems that your son is much better than this useless son of mine..."

Before Hakuba Police Director finished speaking, a scream came from the door of the hall. Along with the confusion of Chairman Ooka who was walking next to Minami Masamune, a short-haired, slightly ambitious girl rushed towards Hattori Heiji.

"Heiji?! It's really you, I miss you so much!!!"

With his right hand being hugged, Hattori Heiji stared blankly at the girl. Just as he was about to ask, another Toyama Kazuha appeared on his left hand. He glared at the girl and shouted, "Who are you! Just hug Heiji when you come up?! "

"Me?!" The girl blinked: "I am Heiji's fiancée!"

"Is this happening?" Knowing that Yuji was in Kyoto, Bellmode also came to join in the fun: "Obviously Hattori-kun, you said on the phone that I am the only one in your heart..."

The scene became heated for a while. Only the White Horse Police Director standing in the middle was silent for a while and then spoke calmly.

"It seems... the benefits are limited..." (End of this chapter)
