Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 31 Conan is Kudo's spy
"It's Lao Bai Gan (a type of Chinese liquor), but Anya can't drink it. Besides, you already had a cup of cocoa today, with extra sugar. You're not allowed to eat anything else, or you'll get cavities."

Xia Chuan's threat was quite effective, mainly thanks to Anya seeing the pain of her classmate's tooth decay.

She said that with her small arms and legs, she couldn't bear the terrible reality of having cavities.

We can always drink it tomorrow.

"Hattori-kun, how many bottles of baijiu did you bring?" Xia Chuan asked, somewhat concerned. He glanced at the other man's bag through the rearview mirror; it was still bulging inside.

"Well, one bottle was given to Mr. Mori, and one bottle was given to you. That's all."

As he spoke, Hattori tightened his grip on the backpack, causing the bottles inside to clink.

Nima!

Do you Osaka people make friends by drinking?

It's still a high-proof liquor like Lao Bai Gan.

The car was parked downstairs at the Mori Detective Agency.

Hattori Heiji quickly got out of the car, as if afraid that Natsukawa would snatch the liquor he was carrying.

Of course, there is another reason.

Prove the relationship between Conan Edogawa and Shinichi Kudo as soon as possible.

He had long found the name Conan Edogawa extremely strange, and after Natsukawa pointed it out, he suspected that it might just be an alias.

Perhaps Conan's real name is Kudo Conan?

No, the name Conan is clearly 'borrowed' from Conan Doyle.

The eldest brother is called Shinichi Kudo, so what should the second brother be called?
Is it Daiji Kudo or Kojiro Kudo?

My mind was a jumble of thoughts, but I climbed the stairs very quickly.

Xia Chuan watched the other person go upstairs with a smile, feeling a strange sense of happiness.

Conan! How will you deal with this now?
Whether Conan will reveal his true identity or allow Hattori Heiji to confirm his identity as Kudo's second son remains to be seen.

The GTR was driven back to the Natsukawa family garage, where Anya was already asleep inside.

"Drink, drink strong liquor, and you'll become, become a beautiful girl."

As he gently picked up Anya and listened to her murmurs in her sleep, Xia Chuan's forehead creased with annoyance.

￣□￣｜｜

It seems we need to hide the old baijiu!

At such a young age, he's actually learning to drink alcohol, and even strong spirits like Lao Bai Gan. That won't do.

It's all that bastard Heiji Hattori's fault. Anya must have seen Conan drinking and smelled the aroma, that's why she's been so obsessed with him.

After all, the aroma of Lao Bai Gan (a type of Chinese liquor) is indeed very strong.

After gently placing the little girl on the bed, Xia Chuan returned to his room to rest.

There's been no word from Frank yet; the interrogation must not be over. I didn't expect that Tsugawa, who's so easily scared, would be so stubborn.

However, given Frank's methods, he should be able to get the answer by tomorrow. He should get a good night's sleep tonight, as the next few days will be quite busy.

The tequila matter is a bit complicated, but fortunately Frank has already gathered some useful information.

At that moment, some noise came from the Mori Detective Agency, but the sound did not reach the Natsukawa family across the street.

"Heiji Hattori! What are you doing!"

Xiaolan stormed into the bedroom.

Heiji Hattori squatted down next to Conan, preparing to take off Conan's glasses.

"It's nothing, I just came to see Conan." Heiji Hattori's eyes darted around, looking like he'd been caught doing something wrong.

"Get out of here! Don't feed Conan that baijiu anymore!" Ran said angrily, hands on her hips, glaring at Heiji Hattori as she scanned him for any trace of the baijiu.

Although Xia Chuan said that Lao Bai Gan (a type of Chinese liquor) has the effects of relieving cold and cough, and promoting blood circulation, Conan's appearance clearly shows that he is experiencing side effects and should definitely not drink it anymore.

"Fine!"

Heiji Hattori sighed helplessly, but still tried to argue, saying, "Why does Conan sleep with his glasses on? Shouldn't he take them off?"

As he spoke, he was about to make another move.

"Take off his glasses?" Ran blinked thoughtfully, but remembering Conan's excited expression when she helped him take off his glasses last time, she shook her head. "No need, let him rest."

Ran casually brushed Hattori's hand away.

The two walked out of the room one after the other. Hattori kept turning back to look at her, just like a young girl who regretted breaking up, which made Ran frown.

What is this guy up to?! It seems we can't let him get any closer to Conan.

She said she came to find Shinichi, then she became interested in her father, then Natsukawa-san, and now she's stuck with Conan.

"By the way, did Kudo say when he'll be back?" Hattori asked as they entered the office lobby. Ran herself didn't know the answer, and shook her head: "Shinichi didn't say. He's probably dealing with some important case and can't get away. He'll be back when he's done."

"Is that so? Don't you suspect that Kudo has actually been by your side all along?"

Hattori brought up the old topic again.

"Clam?"

Little Lan's beady eyes.

Are you beside me?
“As I told you at noon, it’s very unreasonable that Kudo called you but didn’t ask about your recent situation, only about school matters. He must have other ways to get information about you.”

Xiao Lan seemed to be deep in thought.

indeed.

Heiji Hattori makes a lot of sense, but if Shinichi is by my side, why doesn't he ever show up? What could be the reason?

"But I don't feel anything. If Shinichi were right next to me, how could he have hidden himself so well all this time?"

Hattori gave a strange look, half of his face shrouded in shadow, and said, "Perhaps Conan is a spy that Kudo placed by your side. You said this afternoon that Conan has been staying at your house since Kudo disappeared."

"How, how is it possible!"

Ran's face turned pale, and she unconsciously took a step back, somewhat frightened by Hattori.

"Just kidding! Don't take it to heart!"

Heiji Hattori scratched the back of his head and laughed, causing Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting on the sofa watching a recording of Yoko Okino's variety show, to frown repeatedly.

"Hey, Hattori, keep your voice down. Your voice is disturbing my view of Yoko."

Hattori Heiji:.
Xiaolan:
Is this really a famous detective?
He's definitely a typical middle-aged otaku fanboy!

Hattori became increasingly certain of his judgment: Kogoro Mouri was all show and no substance, and all the cases he solved were due to his connections with Shinichi Kudo.

"Alright, I'm off now. See you next time." Hattori Heiji slung his backpack over his shoulder and prepared to leave.

Putting Conan aside for now, he's pretty much certain that Conan is Shinichi Kudo's younger brother, or at least has some connection to Kudo.

Of course, the younger brother is more likely, because Conan does look somewhat like Kudo. He was blinded by a leaf before, but Anya's reminder made him feel like the clouds had parted to reveal the moon.

"But it's so late now!"

Xiaolan checked the time; it was almost eleven o'clock.

Although the Mori family doesn't have a room for Hattori, it seems that Natsukawa's family has a spare room. If Hattori wants to stay, she can just ask.

The relationship between the two families is now very good.

"It's okay, a friend of mine is coming to Tokyo, I'll just go with her."

As soon as he finished speaking, a car horn sounded downstairs.

"I'm here, I'll be going now. If you get in touch with Kudo, please give him my regards!" Just before leaving, Hattori turned back again, "Oh, and Conan too, please say hello to him for me!"

"Oh."

Xiao Lan was confused and could only nod in agreement.

"A stretched Lincoln? Is General Hattori Heizo's family that rich?!"

Kogoro Mouri peeked out from under the building because of a car horn, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

With its streamlined exterior, classic and elegant black color, extended length, and the magnificent emblem on the front, it can be summed up in one word: expensive!

The car that picked up Hattori Heiji was a stretch Lincoln. How can you accuse the Tsujimura family of abusing their power for personal gain when they have such conditions?
You probably have no idea how much your father has embezzled!
Even Hattori Heizo, the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, shouldn't be able to afford this car.

Thinking about all this, Kogoro Mouri saw the driver get out of the car and open the door, and a young woman with short brown hair stepped out.

"Hattori~"

The girl rushed toward Hattori Heiji in a sweet, coquettish voice, and Kogoro Mouri was amazed by their affectionate behavior.

However, his thoughts had changed somewhat. It seemed that Hattori Heizo wasn't the one with money; Hattori Heiji had become a kept man.

Young people, already hugging and dating rich women while still in high school, what kind of behavior is this?

"Ran, you mustn't be like Hattori Heiji!"

As a doting father, Kogoro Mouri still has some reservations about his daughter's relationship with Shinichi Kudo.

The key issue is that Shinichi Kudo is a competitor in his detective work, which makes him even more annoyed.

This guy solves cases without charging money. How are the other detectives supposed to survive?
It's good that they've disappeared; it gives Tokyo's detectives some breathing room.

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Xiaolan also peeked out the window and blushed shyly.

That girl is so fair-skinned and beautiful, she's the complete opposite of Hattori Heiji.
