Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 237 Osaka Kurohime
"Well, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Hattori Hirako, and I'm a high school detective like Kudo Shinichi."

Hattori Hirako took off her hat, her short black hair fell to her ears, and a confident smile appeared on her face.

"A-choo! Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

Conan sneezed suddenly and started coughing violently.

What the hell is this? Why did Hattori turn into a woman in my dream?

"I heard there's a young and capable female high school detective in Kansai, known as Osaka Kurohime. Could that be you?"

Kogoro Mori seemed to have seen Hattori's name in the newspaper and looked at the dark-skinned girl in front of him with surprise.

Hattori Hirako smiled slightly: "That's me."

"Kudo and I are often mentioned together, and we are called Higashi Kudo Nishi Hattori. But I am very concerned about the fact that his name is always put before mine, so I came here specially to find him this time to compete with him."

Haha, this guy is still so competitive even after becoming a woman.

Conan had calmed down a little, and when he saw the excited Hattori Hirako, he started to complain in his heart.

"The female high school detective, Higashi Kudo and Nishi Hattori, compete to see who is the better of them..." Xiaolan muttered to herself, staring at Hattori Hirako with a concerned look on her face.

For some reason, she had a strong sense of crisis.

If this woman and Shinichi meet, maybe the kind of development that is common in novels and comics will happen, that is, rivals of the opposite sex of similar age get to know each other during the competition, and then fall in love or something like that...

Don’t do that kind of thing!
"So, Ms. Mao Lilan, please tell me the phone number of that guy Kudo, and I will make an appointment with him personally."

"No, no!" Xiaolan refused reflexively without even thinking.

"Hey, why?"

"I can't tell you his phone number without permission. I have to at least ask him and seek his opinion..."

"Then call him now and tell him that I, Hattori Hirako, am here to challenge him. I'm sure he will come running back."

Haha, this guy is too confident. I have no interest in this kind of childish competition game.

Conan thought as he sucked the snot back into his nose.

"Hey, kid, you got a cold?"

At this time, Hattori Hirako bent down, came in front of Conan, and stared at his face.

Conan subconsciously took a step back and distanced himself. This face made him feel a little uncomfortable.

It is really scary that a friend I have known for many years suddenly turns into a lovely girl.

"I have some special cold medicine I brought from abroad, try it!"

As Hattori Hirako spoke, she took out a suspicious bottle-like object wrapped in paper from her backpack, poured a small cup of colorless transparent liquid from it, and put it to Conan's mouth.

Of course Conan knew what this guy was pouring.

A strong liquor from country Z, Baigan.

This guy is really messing around by giving a kid strong liquor.

Even though his gender has changed to a woman, this guy's personality hasn't changed at all.

"No thanks."

Conan coldly pushed Hattori Hirako's hand away.

Even if it was a dream, he didn't want to experience the excruciating pain of his body exploding again.

He remembered very clearly that Hattori came to him like this that year, and he foolishly believed that this was really a panacea. As a result, not long after drinking it, his whole body began to have a fever and then grew bigger.

Not only did he suffer physically, but his true identity was almost discovered by Xiaolan that time.

So this time, he would not drink this stuff no matter what.

"It's really effective. One sip can cure your cold. Don't you really want to drink it?" Hattori Hirako seemed to have not expected Conan to refuse, and said in surprise.

Conan said nothing and tore open the newspaper wrapped around the bottle.

On the red label, three Chinese characters were written: Bai Qian'er.

"Bai Gan'er? Isn't this a strong liquor from Country Z?" As a veteran drinker, Kogoro Mori immediately recognized the origin of the bottle of wine.

"Ms. Hattori, how can you give this kind of thing to a child?" Xiaolan also took the opportunity to blame.

"Because this is really effective for colds." Hattori Hirako said with a matter-of-fact expression, not feeling that there was anything wrong with her behavior at all.

"This is outrageous. You actually plan to give strong liquor to a child... Even if it works, it's not something a child can drink. If drinking can cure diseases, what are the needs of doctors and medicine?" Xiaolan complained, pulling Conan behind her, looking at Hattori Hirako with more vigilance.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, I mean well. By the way, Ms. Mori, why haven't you called Kudo yet?" Hattori Hirako blinked her big eyes and asked with her head tilted.

"I didn't promise to make the call for you."

"Oh, don't you want to see him?" Hattori Hirako stroked his chin and looked at Xiaolan's face, "Your good friend Sonoko clearly said that you miss him so much that you can't sleep at night and talk about him all day long."

"Who can't sleep because of missing him!" Xiaolan's face turned red instantly.

Really, that guy Yuanzi actually talked nonsense in front of outsiders!

"Oh, I see!" Hattori Hirako looked at Xiaolan and slapped his palms lightly, as if he had suddenly realized something. "Are you afraid that I will take your boyfriend away from you?"

“That’s not the case…”

"Haha, don't worry. I'm not interested in high school boys. I just want to see if this guy is qualified to be compared with me. Or rather, I'm more interested in cute girls like you. If that guy doesn't show up in time, I'll snatch you away and force him to show up, hehe."

Hattori Heiko stared at Xiaolan's body with ill intentions and laughed.

Xiaolan blushed and covered her chest.

What is this woman talking about? She is also a girl, but she says she wants to snatch me away. What a weirdo.

Conan, who was standing next to him, felt dizzy when he saw Hattori Hirako like this.

Hattori is so scary like this. What's the meaning of that playful yet slightly naughty smile?

If the real Hattori saw this guy, he would be so ashamed that he would bang his head against the wall.

"I will tell Shinichi about your matter, but I can't guarantee that he will be willing to see you..." Xiaolan said.

"Okay, then, please give me your guidance before I meet Kudo."

"What do you mean by giving me more advice?"

Hattori Hirako smiled brightly, with a row of white teeth that caught people's attention: "From today on, I will stay here for a while. This bottle of wine is my gift..."

"Hey, stop acting on your own! Dad, what's that expression on your face? Do you really want her to live in our house?"

Xiaolan saw her father looking at the bottle of liquor with an interested look on his face and stomped his feet in anger.

Kogoro Mori scratched his head in embarrassment. He was about to ask Hattori Hirako how much he was going to give for accommodation.

Conan shrugged helplessly.

This woman named Hirako is really similar to that guy Hattori, they are both promiscuous.

dong dong.

Then someone knocked on the door.

"Ms. Pingzi, I have a guest here. Please be quiet for a while."

After giving these instructions to Hattori Hirako, Mori Kogoro said "Come in" to the gate.

When Conan saw the person who opened the door and came in, he showed a surprised expression.

The person who came in was a middle-aged woman wearing sunglasses, giving Conan a familiar feeling.

He searched the memory bank in his mind and quickly recalled it.

He had seen this woman in Poirot's bar.
