Conan's other self

Behind Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Ye Zheng were happily chatting with Xiaolan. Judging from the fact that several people were still standing, it was obvious that these two people had just arrived.

"Oh! This one is coming too!"

Before he could appreciate Conan's surprised expression, Hattori Heiji saw Maplehara and Haibara Ai walking in, "Just in time, I'll save myself another trip to find you!"

"Xiao Kong! Xiao Ai!" Xiao Lan greeted, "By the way, He Ye, you haven't met Xiao Ai yet, right? Let me introduce you..."

Although he mentioned it on the phone, it was the first time for Hattori Heiji to see Haibara Ai in person. After taking one look, he hugged Kudo and whispered to Maplehara:

"Kudo, your new woman is so cute!"

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him. Hattori Heiji is a nice person, but it's a pity that he has a long mouth. Conan on the other side also tried to break away and read his novel, but failed.

Although no one paid attention to him, Hattori Heiji did not give up, "I asked why I couldn't find you when I went there. It turns out you were on a date..."

"I'm going to school." Fengyuan replied, "I'm still a primary school student."

"Then let's go on a date..."

"...By the way, thank you for what happened last time." Fengyuan decided to change the topic.

On the night of the full moon, it was Heiji Hattori who attended the Halloween party disguised as Kudo Shinichi. He solved the murder case on the ship and finally restored Hattori Heiji's identity in public, helping to attract attention.

"Ha ha!"

"Heiji, what are you laughing at?" Kazuha, who was getting acquainted with Haibara Ai, asked curiously.

"This guy Kudo is thanking me——"

"Kudo?"

"Well...you see this kid looks so much like Kudo. When he thanks me, it always feels like Kudo is thanking me..."

"Oh..." Heye said thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, Hattori and Sora have a really good relationship... I often call them with excitement on their faces, but sometimes they become very depressed after the phone call..."

"What are you talking about? There are times when reasoning wins..."

"reasoning?"

"Ahem," it seemed that he had slipped his words. Hattori Heiji quickly changed the subject, "Okay, the brats are back and everyone is here. Let's go somewhere to eat something good?"

"Yeah, it's still early, let's go somewhere farther away and try it!" Uncle Maori agreed.

"Xiaolan, do you know any good places to eat?" He Ye asked.

"Well, I don't know what you want to eat..." Xiao Lan hesitated, "Xiao Ai, is there anything you want to eat?"

Hui Yuan Ai shook his head.

"Then let the two of you decide," Hattori Heiji still hugged Kudo and wouldn't let go, "Let's talk about it, what do you want to eat?"

"PASS!" Conan replied angrily. He just wanted to replenish his spiritual food now.

"PAS...PASTA? Do you want Italian food?"

"ah?"

"I have no problem." Fengyuan agreed.

Although this would put the elementary school students' pigeons away, it was too troublesome to refuse Hattori. The elementary school students just went to play games all night and wouldn't care, so he agreed.

"That's right!" Xiaolan said, "A very fashionable PASTA shop has opened in Cupido Town!"

That was settled.

After borrowing the office phone number and talking to Dr. Ali, Maplehara and Haibara Ai followed them to the Italian restaurant for dinner.

For some unknown reason, although there were many detectives in the group, no murder occurred in the restaurant, and they finished their dinner smoothly.

"Then what?"

After the meal, Conan, who was sitting on the right side of Hattori Heiji, became increasingly depressed thinking about the unfinished mystery novel, "What are you and Sister Kazuha doing here? This black tan..."

"Eh?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Hattori Heiji glanced at Maplehara on the left who was still drinking juice, and then whispered to Conan depressedly, "What kind of attitude do you have! Have you forgotten that I helped a lot by dressing up as you last time?" Really? You just thanked me for the other one!"

Damn it, it's obviously the same person...

"I'm grateful too... But these are two different things," Conan said, "Suddenly barging in... I have my own plan..."

"Yes, yes, the plan! I came here specifically to discuss the plan with you!"

"Plan?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"Yes! The holiday is coming soon! I want to invite you to Osaka again, and Heiji has been clamoring to meet Xiao Ai... Oh, what about hiding..."

Haiyuan Ai was startled for a moment and listened carefully.

Hattori Heiji's face turned darker instantly, and he quickly interrupted Kazuha, "You heard wrong! Idiot!"

"What! I haven't said anything yet!"

"Ahem, anyway, I just invite you to go to Osaka again!" Hattori Heiji said bravely under Maplehara's threatening gaze.

"Well, that's right!" Kazuye agreed, "There are many good things in Osaka that you haven't seen yet..."

"Good things from Osaka?" Uncle Maori asked.

"of course!"

“Osaka’s specialty!”

"Takarazuka!"

"Koshien!"

"Koshien!?"

"Takarazuka!?"

"I've never heard of Koshien!"

"When I heard about Takarazuka, it was like a bolt from the blue!"

"Didn't I say it! The neighbor's aunt promised to give me a ticket!"

"It seems like you were nagging this in my ear..."

"Then it's okay if both of them go?" Uncle Maori reluctantly interrupted the two-person play between Hattori and the two.

"Yes, aren't these two in Hyogo Prefecture?" Maplehara said.

"But it's impossible to go to both sides..."

After checking the information with Kazuha, Hattori Heiji discovered that the Takarazuka performance and the high school baseball Koshien decisive battle he wanted to watch were on the same day, so he couldn't have both.

"Then there's nothing we can do. Just give in, Kazuha. Takarazuka's program is the same every time. The finals at Koshien only come once a year. It's a real showdown with real swords and guns..."

"What are you talking about? You can watch the high school baseball game just by watching the news specials!" Kazuha said dissatisfied, "It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to get such a good seat for the Takarazuka performance!"

"Idiot! You must watch baseball live! What's the point of just watching the results on the news!"

"Of course Takarazhong is the best on site!" Kazuye said, then looked back and forth at Xiaolan and Haibara Ai, "Xiaolan! Xiaoai! You also want to see Takarazhong, right?"

"Uh-huh…"

Xiaolan saw He Ye's momentum and subconsciously responded, while Hui Yuan Ai hesitated a little and nodded.

She doesn’t even know what Takarazuka shows are about, but she’s really not that interested in baseball…

"Hey, kid!" Seeing Kazuha starting to pull people over, Hattori Heiji was not to be outdone and looked between Maplehara and Conan, "As a man, you want to watch baseball, right?"

"Yes, yes..."

Hattori Heiji's eyes were fierce, and Conan subconsciously agreed. Kaedehara remained silent, but Hattori Heiji decided to count him among his faction.

"That's three versus three..."

Hattori Heiji and Kazuha looked at Uncle Mori who was watching the show.

"Well…"

"Uncle, what about you?"

"That's it," Uncle Mouri, the water-carrying master, began to carry water. "It's better to watch the exciting Koshien. No, wait a minute, the gorgeous and passionate Takarazuka is also good..."

"Which way!?"

"Then, let's do it this way..." After failing to carry the water, Uncle Maori began to find another way, "Let's use reasoning to compete. How about going to the place recommended by the winner?"

"Mystery contest?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

So does Kaedehara. Speaking of which, it seems like the last mystery competition was the same one, but I didn't expect it to happen again... But this time there are seven people, a three-and-a-half-level reasoning showdown?

"That's right." Uncle Maori explained, "At the end of last month, a murder occurred in a certain company's office. Because there were many doubts, the Megure Police Department asked me to help him think about it... That company is nearby, After dinner, I plan to go over and have a look, how about it?"

"..."

"It's not a good idea to bet on murders, but the culprit hasn't been caught yet..."

"There's nothing wrong with just thinking it's to solve the case early." Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement, "In that case, Kazuha... let's have a competition?"

"This is so cunning! How can I beat Heiji in reasoning!"

"Of course, on Kazuya's side," Uncle Maori said confidently, "I have my sleeping Kogoro to strengthen the momentum..."

"Really? Thank you! Uncle!"

"Humph, I definitely want to watch Takarazuka's repertoire of grid lap dances..."

Hattori Heiji complained softly from the side, but anyone close to him could hear it.

Haiyuan Ai, who originally had an indifferent attitude, also heard it. She raised her head and glanced at Feng Yuan, but the next moment she was asked by He Ye: "Xiao Lan! Xiao Ai! You will also help me, right?"

After hesitating for a moment, Haiyuan Ai nodded in agreement.

"Hey, now there are only four of you here!" Hattori Heiji said dissatisfied.

"This is what people want!"

"Hey, there's nothing we can do about it."

Hattori Heiji sighed, looking helpless.

He put one hand on Feng Yuan's shoulder and the other on Conan's shoulder, "In this case, I... have no choice but to let these two brats participate!"
