After expressing his feelings, he finally got to the point.
"By the way, how did this guy end up here? I only invited you guys."
Conan said with a frustrated look, "It's all Ran's fault. After you invited us yesterday, Ran called him and invited him to come to Osaka. What could I do? I didn't want to either."
Seeing Conan's childlike appearance with a worried look on his face, Heiji Hattori always felt that this face was full of humor.
However, given the kid's personality, if I made fun of him, he would definitely take the opportunity to retaliate, so I resisted the urge to pinch his cheek.
She then spoke in a low voice, avoiding the taxi driver's ears.
"Kudo, what you told me before, was it true? Even though it came from your mouth, it always felt like you were telling a myth, making it unbelievable."
Conan already knew that once he met this guy, he would definitely ask about this matter, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Even if you hadn't asked, I would have told you. It's not just that you can't believe it, even my father and I, who deduced all of this, find it hard to believe that human beings could achieve this level!"
But that's the truth, and although I have no proof, I firmly believe it!
Heiji Hattori leaned back in his seat and slid down slightly, his face filled with unconcealed terror.
“That’s not just one or two people, but thousands! Once, I woke up in the middle of the night and unexpectedly heard my father crying in the bathroom. This made me very curious. You know, someone like him would cry in the middle of the night. This aroused my curiosity.”
So I hid outside and eavesdropped on his conversation. That's how I learned about the military base, and at that moment, I truly felt fear!
Conan looked at Hattori Heiji, whose face had turned pale, and said nothing more; any words would be superfluous at this moment.
What he needs now is time, only time to soothe his fear.
After more than ten minutes, he finally leaned close to Hattori Heiji's ear.
"Although I really don't want to say this, as detectives, especially those of us who pride ourselves on being famous detectives, we should never say such things. But I still have to say it. There are some things that the government is unwilling to lift the curtain on, so we must never do them either. Otherwise, the consequences will be extremely terrible, and even more people will die."
Heiji Hattori nodded solemnly: "I understand what you're saying, or perhaps the higher-ups in the government have already understood this as well. Some truths cannot be revealed because we cannot make this decision for others, because once the cost of doing so begins, it will not be limited to ourselves."
Neither of them noticed that a thin, disc-like listening device was operating in the crevice of Hattori Heiji's coat. The device was so subtle that it was impossible to detect without careful inspection.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the taxi, the conversation that had just taken place could be heard through a hidden earpiece.
Miyazaki Yu's lips curled into an upward arc.
Perhaps this was the best decision they ever made.
………………
"That's Tennoji Zoo, and the spherical building on the other side is the Osaka Stadium, where many famous sporting events are held. And Tsutenkaku Tower, where we are, is even more remarkable. These are all cultural landmarks of Osaka."
Watching Hattori Heiji enthusiastically introduce Osaka, Miyazaki Hayao also smiled:
"It seems that visiting Osaka Castle really requires a guide who is familiar with the area. If you just look up guides and such on your own, you'll probably miss out on many of the fun things to do here."
Xiaolan nodded in agreement: "That's right. Osaka has been a city with a highly developed commercial sector since ancient times. In fact, it has always been considered a city where everyone is a merchant."
Miyazaki Yu suddenly remembered what he knew from his previous life: the so-called Osaka Division during World War II. From this division, one could glimpse the character of the city.
Osaka is not only a commercial city, but also a breeding ground for unscrupulous merchants. Most Osaka people have a businessman's cunning and are good at calculating in everything they do.
The Osaka Division also picked up this businessman's habit. They were never proactive in fighting and never risked their lives. They just liked to do business, which made them the division with the fewest casualties in the war.
"Xiao Lan really knows her stuff. Unlike some older men who think Tsutenkaku is similar to Tokyo's boring iron tower, that's so rude. Osaka is full of human warmth, which is incomparable to Tokyo."
In short, this dark-skinned kid just felt that his hometown was the best, and other places were not worth mentioning.
Kogoro Mouri, however, didn't care about any of that. He had been wandering around all morning, and his stomach was already growling.
"Okay, whatever you think is fine. I want to go eat now."
Hattori Heiji chuckled and said, "Uncle Mori, don't be in such a hurry. I've already sent someone to pick us up. Look, he's already here."
Chapter 466 The Girl Who Followed (3rd Update!)
"Sorry, sorry, Heiji, I'm late!"
A tall, thin man dressed like a corporate slave greeted them and then ran quickly toward them, panting heavily, as if he had exerted a lot of effort.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yusuke Sakata from the Osaka Prefectural Police. I'm so sorry I'm a little late."
Upon hearing this, everyone knew that the visitor was a detective. However, they couldn't help but wonder why Hattori Heiji had found a detective to receive them when they had come here for sightseeing.
Heiji Hattori explained, "Mr. Mori is a distinguished guest in Osaka, and I must treat him well, which is why I gave them these special instructions."
But then she asked curiously, "Where's my dad? Why didn't he come? He said he was coming."
Yusuke Sakata whispered, "The chief is currently in a meeting about that case and can't get away."
With just a slight mention, Hattori Heiji immediately knew that another extremely difficult case must have occurred, and only in this way would Hattori Heizo be allowed to directly intervene in a case.
He immediately dropped the topic: "Since that's the case, then forget it. By the way, how's the car I asked you to prepare? Has it been driven out yet?"
Officer Sakata chuckled, like a young man who had rented an interesting DVD and was sharing it with his friends, a slightly lewd smile on his face.
"Of course! As you instructed, Brother Heiji, I've brought out the best car in the station. Everyone will be satisfied!"
Seeing the two making such a confident statement, Kogoro Mouri's interest was piqued. He couldn't help but imagine various luxury cars and rub his hands together excitedly.
Having just toured Osaka's cultural attractions, then taken a ride in a luxury car, and finally enjoyed a sumptuous meal, this is truly the ultimate enjoyment in life.
However, when they actually got into the car, their faces fell. After all, anyone who was inexplicably sitting in a police car would look like that.
At this moment, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan all had black lines on their faces. Sitting in the police car, they felt like the pedestrians outside were pointing and whispering about them, making them want to bury their faces in their hands.
Only Miyazaki Hayao remained unmoved, still smiling as she gazed at the scenery outside the window, seemingly indifferent.
However, because the car was cramped and only three people could sit in the back, he had no choice but to put Conan on his lap.
He originally wanted to hold Xiaolan in his arms and on his lap, but the girl was too delicate and refused. He also didn't want Xiaolan to hold the boy, so in the end he had to do it himself.
He gave the kid a threatening look, telling him to keep playing dumb, before settling into the police car, satisfied, and enjoying the scenery around him.
"How was it? How was it? Isn't it great to ride in a police car? With a police car, you don't have to worry about traffic jams, other cars will give way."
These smug words made Kogoro Mouri, who was already furious, unable to contain himself any longer.
"Are you trying to take us sightseeing in Osaka in this kind of car? What do you mean by this?!"
Heiji Hattori, however, looked completely innocent.
"Why are you angry? This police car is really good. It's the latest police car, and it's fundamentally different from those dilapidated police cars. Without my dad's connections, it would be impossible to borrow it. You should learn from Miyazaki; he was very happy riding in it."
Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly: "Stop talking nonsense. No matter how comfortable a police car is, no one would use it to entertain guests, right? It's like no one would go to a morgue to cool off, no matter how hot the weather is. It has nothing to do with comfort, it's just a matter of people's preconceived notions."
It seems that you, the famous detective from Kansai, still have a lot of room for improvement in your understanding of human relationships.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lingyu, who had been nestled in Xiaolan's arms, made a gurgling sound, as if in response to Miyazaki Yu's words.
"Ha, you little rascal, you've been sleeping the whole way here, but you've woken up now that we're almost at the restaurant."
Then he turned to look at Xiaolan and said, "Xiaolan, when we eat later, we should order a special portion for this little one. This little one's appetite is already comparable to that of an adult."
Hattori Heiji thought to himself, "What is Miyazaki Yu talking about? It's just a cat, how could that be?"
However, his idea was immediately slapped in the face by reality.
"Huh? How could this happen?"
The kitten lay on the table and deftly hooked the noodles out of the bowl with its paw, as easily as a person picking up a basketball from the ground. Then, it stuck out its pink little tongue and sucked, and the smooth ramen was already in its mouth.
This scene not only shocked Hattori Heiji, but also surprised all the diners in the ramen shop.
"A cat eating ramen? That's so unusual!"
"Not only can it eat a lot, but it has a huge appetite. I think this cat can eat two big bowls of food."
"Don't be ridiculous, how could that be?"
But the reality far exceeded everyone's expectations. Lingyu ate a large meal as if no one else was around, finishing two big bowls of ramen and twenty takoyaki before she was full. After letting out a burp, she jumped back onto Xiaolan to rest.
Hattori Heiji stared in disbelief: "Hey kid, what kind of cat is this? Not only can it understand human speech, but it also eats so much. It's just like a normal child."
Upon hearing his question, Conan rolled his eyes and pursed his lips, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
He's not entirely sure yet whether Miyazaki Yu knows his identity or not; his strategy is to never expose himself.
Moreover, he had already told this guy that Miyazaki Yu's five senses were extremely sensitive, and even through a wall, he could clearly detect the movements on the other side of the wall.
You have to be careful what you say when you're with him.
This made Hattori Heiji even more puzzled, but he could only suppress his curiosity.
After enjoying ramen and takoyaki, the group, at the suggestion of Officer Sakata, went to a shop to eat senbei (rice crackers). Osaka senbei is considered a local specialty, and since they were there, they couldn't pass up the opportunity.
However, the difference between Tokyoites and Osaka residents is once again evident when it comes to eating pancakes. Tokyoites eat pancakes as a staple food, while Osaka residents eat them as a side dish that needs to be eaten with a main course.
After everyone had been shopping for half a day, Hattori Heiji went to the shop to make a phone call after settling everyone in, leaving the rest of them to enjoy the food.
Just then, Miyazaki Yu suddenly let out a cold laugh in one direction:
"Young lady, I don't know your identity, but you've followed me all this way, so you must have ulterior motives. I hope you can step forward, otherwise the consequences could be dire!"
As he spoke, he pointed behind him with his right hand, a disposable chopstick held between his fingers, which was firmly positioned in front of a girl's throat!
Chapter 467 Kazuha's Jealousy
"what!"
This scene startled everyone. Lingyu, who had been sleeping soundly in Xiaolan's arms, suddenly opened her eyes, and her little paws had already secretly protruded from the area of her paw pads.
The girl who had just approached, who had been wearing a strange expression, suddenly seemed to snap out of it and hurriedly raised her hands.
"No, no, no! I'm not a bad person!"
The girl was terrified and almost burst into tears. How could this person be like this? She had just wanted to come over and say hello, and this was how she was treated.
Moreover, as a master of Aikido, the moment the chopsticks were handed to her, she could feel a chilling sharpness, as if her throat had been pierced by a sharp sword!
"What happened to Xiaoyu?"
Miyazaki Yu had already turned around. When he actually saw the girl, he was slightly taken aback. The girl had dark green pupils, a high ponytail, and her clear eyes were filled with fear.
He immediately put the bamboo chopsticks away, and his serious expression also disappeared.
"I misunderstood. Back at Tongtian Pavilion, I felt that someone was secretly observing us. I didn't pay attention at the time, just thinking that someone was secretly watching us. After all, a combination of handsome men and beautiful women will always attract the attention of others."
However, after leaving Tsutenkaku and arriving at the ramen shop we had been watching, the people who had been observing us earlier were still secretly watching us, which aroused my vigilance. When we arrived at the pancake shop, that familiar aura followed us again, which made me conclude that someone was deliberately tailing us.
