Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

"Kid, being a detective isn't a game, it's not something you can just use to compete. My detective agency isn't a place for you to compete."

Kogoro Mouri glared at Heiji Hattori, his tone somewhat unfriendly. Although he himself was not a detective skilled in deduction, as a former detective, he disliked Heiji Hattori's attitude of treating detective work like a game.

"Don't mind me, uncle. I just want to find an opponent worthy of my attention. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Hattori Heiji said with a smile, took out a bottle of baijiu from his bag, poured some into a paper cup for the guests on the table, and handed it to Mori Kogoro.

"Ahem, I can't drink alcohol during work hours."

Kogoro Mouri coughed twice, glanced at the baijiu, and slowly placed it under the table. He spoke in a serious tone, "Drinking a beer or two during the day is fine, but it's better to save the baijiu for the evening."

"So, Hikaru Hoshino, are you ready to face me?"

Hattori Heiji looked at Hoshino Hikaru again, eager to speak.

"I said, I never agreed to a duel with you."

Hoshino Hikaru raised an eyebrow, looked at Hattori who was talking to himself, shook his head speechlessly, and then began to think about the cases in the original work where Hattori Heiji appeared, but his memory was a bit blurry and he couldn't remember the specific cases.

In the original work, Hattori Heiji was initially Shinichi Kudo's rival, close friend, and confidant. However, he gradually became a comedic character, either failing to confess his feelings or on his way to failing to confess them, even going so far as to confess to Kaito Kid disguised as Kazuha.

Hoshino Hikaru came here for two reasons. First, he knew that Hattori Heiji's presence meant there must be a case. Second, he wanted to divert Hattori Heiji's attention and stop him from chasing after Kudo Shinichi. Even though he had nothing to do with the organization, a detective who was so focused on finding Kudo Shinichi would still be a bit of a problem.

As for Shinichi Kudo's identity, Hikaru Hoshino didn't really want Heiji Hattori to know. Although Heiji Hattori discovered Shinichi Kudo's identity in the original world, Hikaru Hoshino didn't really want to tell Heiji in this world because Heiji Hattori was a big mouth.

Every time he sees Conan, he greets him with "Kudo, Kudo, long time no see," and he never learns his lesson, almost getting caught by others several times.

Moreover, Heiji Hattori's role in the confrontation with the Black Organization is very limited. Although he is also a member of the good side, he is ultimately just a high school student. The strategist team fighting against the organization consists of Conan and Yusaku Kudo, while the fighting force consists of Shuichi Akai and Tooru Amuro.

In the original story, during the full moon night and the showdown with Vermouth, Heiji Hattori did participate, but that was because Conan didn't know Shuichi Akai and Tooru Amuro at the time, and had no other people he could trust.

Now, in this world of supernatural detective fiction, Yusaku Kudo has already connected with Shuichi Akai's "Silver Bullet" team and "Zero" team. There is basically no need for Heiji Hattori to participate in the Black Organization. Therefore, after thinking it over, Hikaru Hoshino felt that there was no need to let Heiji Hattori know.

"Oh? You're not scared, are you? If you don't want to, we can have Shinichi Kudo come instead. Judging from your tone, you know Shinichi Kudo, right?"

Heiji Hattori was unaware of the various thoughts swirling in Hikaru Hoshino's mind; he was currently preoccupied with the match.

"Kudo is not in Tokyo for some reason. As for where he went, there's no need to tell you. He won't come back just to compete with you."

After hearing Hattori Heiji's words, Hoshino Hikaru shook his head.

"I say, doesn't your family's detective agency have anyone who greets guests?"

Just then, a sudden female voice rang out. Only then did the three detectives notice that a woman in a brown coat had appeared outside the door, looking somewhat angry.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, is there anything I can help you with?"

Kogoro Mouri immediately slapped his forehead, glared at Heiji Hattori with some annoyance, and then stepped forward with his signature business smile on his face.

Kimie Tsujimura glanced around the detective agency. A little boy who looked sick was lying on a sofa not far away, and a girl who looked to be a high school student seemed to be taking care of him. There were two young people doing something next to Kogoro Mouri in front of him. The whole detective agency didn't look very professional.

However, Kimie Tsujimura didn't say much. Her visit to see the detective Kogoro Mouri was pre-planned. So, with a somewhat unpleasant expression, she sat down on the sofa where guests were being entertained, and Kogoro Mouri immediately sat down opposite her.

Hikaru Hoshino and Heiji Hattori also kept quiet for the time being, standing one on each side a short distance away. After all, this was Kogoro Mouri's studio, and it would be impolite to disturb someone's work.

"I've come to you because I hope you can help me investigate my son's girlfriend. Here is her information."

Without any pretense of politeness, Kimie Tsujimura took out a document directly from his jacket pocket.

Kogoro Mouri immediately took the documents, looked at the photos and detailed resume, and his brow twitched slightly.

"Sachiko Katsuragi, 24 years old, top student at both Futaba Junior High and Futaba High School, currently studying at Tokyo Medical University. Madam, is there anything you dislike about your son's girlfriend?"

Kogoro Mori quickly glanced through the documents, making sure he didn't see any obvious problems, before looking up and asking with some confusion.

As a detective who frequently takes on cases involving catching mistresses, secretly filming business secrets, and investigating people, Kogoro Mouri has naturally encountered situations where wealthy people investigate their sons' girlfriends to prevent them from being scammers after their money.

However, judging from the information provided by the woman in front of her, the girl was sweet-looking, came from a respectable family, and had excellent grades. If there was no need for a marriage alliance, she should be the kind of girl that wealthy families would prefer.

"It may look like there's no problem, but that doesn't mean there isn't one."

Kimie Tsujimura's tone remained unchanged, then she spoke with some impatience:

"In short, I hope you can investigate this girl. To find out exactly where to start, please come home with me, and my husband will tell you."

"Then why didn't you come with your husband?"

Kogoro Mouri scratched the back of his head and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Don't joke around. My husband is a congressman. If people found out he hired a private investigator, who knows what kind of news it would cause!"

Kimie Tsujimura immediately retorted, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance and disdain for the detective.

Although detectives hold a high social status today, they are still considered ordinary citizens, and many high-ranking officials in government are not particularly interested in them.

"A congressman? Oh, your husband is that Congressman Tsujimura Kore."

Kogoro Mouri immediately remembered a member of parliament he had once seen on the news.

At the time, that congressman mentioned in an interview that when he was a child, he loved the scenery around the world and thought about becoming a diplomat. However, there are no diplomats left on Earth now, so he changed his path.

Today, although the continents of Earth have historically competed and maintained a degree of independence due to differences in language and culture, they are all generally under the jurisdiction of the Council of the Earth United Defense Organization. There are no longer differences between nations, and naturally, there are no longer diplomats on the surface.

"As expected of a congressman's wife, her condescending attitude is really annoying. Sending a detective to investigate that girl is probably because she looks down on the girl's background and wants to cause trouble."

Hattori Heiji frowned slightly and leaned close to Hoshino Hikaru, speaking in a low voice.

As a high school detective, Heiji didn't like Tsujimura Kimie's attitude, both professionally and personally, but since it was Kogoro Mouri's workplace, he couldn't openly argue back.

"Also, you can't just show up at our door like this. My son can't know that my husband and I hired a detective. You have to pretend to be a friend visiting."

Kimie Tsujimura continued to make her demands, then glanced in the direction of Hikaru Hoshino and Heiji Hattori before speaking:

"You and your sons should come and visit as friends."
