Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 607 Osaka Police's Probing

Forget it
Conan glanced at Natsukawa out of the corner of his eye; he seemed to be in danger now.

Since Natsukawa and his group have come into the brewery's sights, and the Mori Detective Agency has a good relationship with Natsukawa's family, they are very likely to be used as a threat to Natsukawa.
Since both the beginning and the end are in danger, it's better to turn the passive situation into the active one and take control of the situation, which will make things much easier.

He also left the FBI's phone number, so if all else fails, he can ask the FBI for help.

Even if all else fails, Xia Chuan's identity can still mobilize a considerable number of people.

However, relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself, so Conan still wanted to take control of the situation, "let's try anything, even if it seems hopeless."

Hattori scratched his face dismissively. Kudo clearly couldn't think of a better way, so he had to act all pretentious.

"Sister Xiaolan, look! I told you I just saw Shinichi-nii."

A childish female voice interrupted, and Conan knew something was wrong. He turned around and found Ran, Anya, and the others had appeared beside him.

In Xiaolan's eyes, one could see a trace of confusion and bewilderment, as well as a little bit of grievance.

Soon her eyes became a little wet, and something seemed to be swirling in them.

"Hey, isn't that Shinichi-nii?"

Conan shouted in his heart, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?"

Kazuha noticed Ran's expression and was somewhat puzzled.

Yes, Okita Souji does look a lot like Kudo Shinichi, but Ran just told her that she couldn't possibly mistake Shinichi for someone else when she told her that the person on the field wasn't Hattori.

This is now a direct consequence of past actions.

Heiji Hattori knew what Ran was thinking, and to prevent a misunderstanding from escalating into a fight between a kendo master and a karate master, he spoke up to explain.

"Let me introduce you. This is Okita Souji from Izumi High School. Among my classmates in Japan, he is one of the few kendo geniuses whose kendo skills can rival mine."

"Are you sure he's not better than you?" Xia Chuan teased, but not wanting Ran to waste her time, he explained, "Okita Souji and Kudo do look a bit alike, but there are differences in skin color, hairstyle, and personality. Ran, if you take a closer look, you should be able to spot some clues, right?"

After Xia Chuan's suggestion, Xiao Lan began to observe seriously.

"Ah?"

Xiao Lan suddenly froze, her eyes turning into beady pupils.

Anya was slightly disappointed; she had wanted to see Conan's predicament, but it seemed she had failed.

However, it seems I went a bit too far, and ended up embarrassing Sister Xiaolan.

The appearance of Okita Souji undoubtedly shocked the group in Tokyo. Yoel and Kogoro Mouri, who arrived later, were also quite stunned.

Okita Souji's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Heiji Hattori's friends all mistook him for Shinichi Kudo. Although they had seen the news and knew that there was a famous detective in Kanto who looked exactly like him, they couldn't keep mistaken for him because of his resemblance to Shinichi.

uncomfortable.

However, because he was somewhat interested in Natsukawa, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, at Hattori's invitation, they went to Hattori Heiji's house together.

The Hattori family was a prominent family in Osaka. Their residence was a standard Japanese courtyard house, covering a considerable area, and the yard contained many wooden dummy and mannequins for practicing kendo.

However, they were quite low-key, with only one maid to help manage the household, unlike most wealthy and powerful families.

"So Ms. Jinghua is actually your mother. No wonder you have such a talent for kendo."

"Hmph, this has nothing to do with my mother. The reason I am a top swordsman is mainly due to my own efforts."

Hattori Heiji rested his hands behind his head, dismissing Okita Souji's sentiments with disdain.

There was something else he didn't say: if it weren't for his role as a detective, he would have surpassed Okita Souji long ago in kendo. Okita Souji simply smiled and said nothing.

He suddenly slowed down. "Mr. Xia Chuan, how about another fight? If I win, the favor I promised you will stand.

His eyes, brimming with fighting spirit, belong to a spirited young man.

However, since Hattori already has the same idea, why should Natsukawa do it himself?
"Never mind, it was just a joke. I'm just joining in the fun. You can let Hattori fight you."

"he?"

Okita Souji glanced disdainfully at Hattori's retreating figure. "He's more concerned with solving cases than with the pure spirit of swordsmanship. He's no match for me."

"I don't have any either!" Xia Chuan said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"But you are very strong!"

"Hey, don't talk badly about people behind their backs, and don't be quiet either. This is my house, can't you show some respect for the host?"

Hattori Heiji, standing ahead, turned around and gave Okita a deadpan look. I really wanted to beat Okita up; this guy was so arrogant!
That evening, Hattori Shizuka treated everyone to a dangerous yet delicious pufferfish hot pot.

However, compared to Yoel's deadly cuisine, at least Xia Chuan's meal was quite delicious.

Other people's wives or girlfriends are elegant in public and capable in the kitchen, but my own girlfriend...
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.

The dinner was pleasant, and the presence of Hattori Heizo and Toyama Ginjiro gave Kogoro Mori an opportunity to expand his network.

After all, we occasionally receive investigation projects outside of Tokyo, so it would definitely be beneficial to know more police officers, especially since these two are high-ranking officers in the Osaka Prefectural Police.

However, the two high-ranking police officers focused their attention on Xia Chuan.

For no other reason than the events at Twilight Villa, which alone were enough for them to remember the name.

Even if you only get 25% of the Twilight Villa, which is worth hundreds of billions, after deducting some taxes, it is still a huge sum of money that people dare not even think about.

"I've long heard of Mr. Xia Chuan's name, but I didn't expect him to be so young."

"Not at all, Chief Hattori is exaggerating too much. I'm just an ordinary person who's had good luck."

"Hehe, you're too modest."

Ginjiro Toyama smiled with narrowed eyes. If he hadn't known that this was how the other person smiled, he would definitely have been misunderstood as being sarcastic.

"The Twilight Villa incident already speaks volumes."

"Actually, this amount of money is only a lot for individuals; from a national perspective, it is still insignificant."

Ginjiro Toyama: "."

Hattori Heizo: "."

Is this human talk?
Knowing the topic was inappropriate, the two did not continue the conversation.

"By the way, since everyone's here, Heiji, remember to take everyone out for a stroll tomorrow."

“However, that mysterious black-clad organization has not yet been captured, so I should still send some police officers to protect them,” Hattori Heizo said.

"There's no need for that. Isn't abusing police resources just a waste of taxpayers' money?"

Xia Chuan shook his head and refused, saying that too many people would only hinder their enjoyment, and if something really happened, the police wouldn't be able to help and would only get in the way.

“That’s true.” Toyama Ginjiro smiled. “Since Mr. Natsukawa dared to go out with his whole family, he should have been prepared. We were the ones who were overthinking it.”
