That scene was terrifying for anyone who witnessed it. It's incredibly fortunate that no one was injured this time.

Hattori Shizuka then looked at Shiraishi Osamu and bowed slightly: "Mr. Shiraishi, thank you so much for what you did earlier. If it weren't for your playing card, I might have had to go through some trouble."

Shiraishi Osamu waved his hand: "No, that's not true. I feel that you can easily handle this even without my help!"

He saw the whole thing.

Aside from briefly blocking and creating an opportunity, all of Hattori Shizuka's other playing cards were played by herself.

The two moves were both practical and dazzling, and he was amazed when he saw them from behind.

Anyway, if he had come back then, he definitely wouldn't have been able to do that. Although this woman is married, her swordsmanship skills don't seem to have declined much. Dealing with a college student is still a piece of cake for her.

Over here...

After waiting for a while.

The police finally arrived and took the college student criminal away, which relieved Kogoro Mouri and his group.

Hattori Shizuka asked, "Heiji, what exactly is going on?"

Hattori Heiji said with a wry smile, "He is the murderer. I had already caught him, but he got away by accident. As he ran, he ended up in the stadium. I never expected this to happen. I was really careless. I thought that if I exposed him, he would turn himself in. I never expected this to happen."

A look of shame appeared on his face.

This time he was really careless, or rather, arrogant, thinking that as long as the criminal's identity was revealed, the other party would obediently surrender.

But things didn't go as he expected at all; the other party was actually trying to escape, and with such relentless effort.

If there were an innocent victim today, he felt he would never forgive himself.

Hattori Shizuka placed her hand on her son's head and stroked it gently, saying, "It's alright, nothing's wrong, there's no need to blame yourself."

Hattori Heiji blushed, turned his head to the side, and said arrogantly, "Old woman, you're too long-winded."

He's a little shy now.

His mother was really too much, treating him like a child in public. So he couldn't find a good excuse and could only use this tough attitude to cover up his embarrassment and bring the matter to a successful conclusion.

Although there were some unexpected events, overall it was still pretty good.

night.

Night. (badj)

Hattori House.

Because of the afternoon, Shiraishi Osamu and the others were all invited here for dinner.

Meanwhile, two more people joined the lively dining table.

Hattori Heizo is the chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters and the Superintendent of Police. He has an exceptional deductive ability and is a master of kendo. His distinctive features include fox-like eyes, a stern and capable demeanor, and a ruthless attitude towards criminals. Even his mustache gives him a sharp and menacing look.

Ginjiro Toyama – Kazuha Toyama’s father, Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, and a close friend and subordinate of Chief Hattori Heizo.

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "This hot pot is really delicious."

Kogoro Mouri laughed and said, "Yeah, it's comparable to the ramen we ate at the ramen shop when we came here."

Hattori Heiji said proudly, "Of course, there's no doubt about it. My mom's pufferfish hot pot is the best in the world."

Hattori Shizuka covered her mouth to stifle a laugh: "Heiji, you used to say you were almost full, but now you're praising me like this. I'm really flattered."

"Oh dear, you..."

Hattori Heiji was speechless with anger. He never expected his own mother to undermine him like this. It was simply outrageous.

Hattori Shizuka smiled even more brightly at her son's appearance. She gently placed Kazuha, who was sleeping on her shoulder, on her lap, stroked her cheek, and said softly, "I didn't expect this child to fall asleep while we were eating. Really."

Hattori Heiji asked curiously, "What's wrong with her? She hasn't even started eating yet..."

Hattori Shizuka said gently, "It's because I'm too tired today. First, I cheered for the school, then I picked up Mr. Mori and the others, and finally I was startled by what happened today. It's normal to be tired."

Hattori Heiji whispered, "Mom, I've already said it was just an accident, why are you still talking about it?"

Although the case has been solved.

But today's accident still made him feel ashamed, and he was too embarrassed to mention it in front of his father.

If it had been a perfect success, he might have bragged about it, but unfortunately, the ending was far from perfect, so he never showed off about it after returning home.

Kogoro Mouri also praised Heizo Hattori, saying, "As expected of the police chief's son, he's really something else. By the time I got there, the case was already solved, and in such a short time. He's truly remarkable."

Hattori Heizo patted his son on the head and said modestly, "You flatter me. This kid's reasoning is entirely based on intuition. It's just fancy footwork. He's just showing off his skills in front of Mr. Mori."

In fact, Kogoro Mouri has solved quite a few cases in the past few months.

Of course, it was mostly Conan who helped.

Although the two don't live together, they often run into each other when cases occur, and Conan, because of his child status, takes advantage of Kogoro Mouri to solve cases.

He has handled quite a few cases, which has improved his reputation considerably.

After Hattori Heizo finished speaking, he looked at Shiraishi Osamu and said earnestly, "Thank you so much today, Mr. Shiraishi. I have long admired your name and read your deductions in the newspaper. You are really very strong. Compared to you, I am just a nobody."

"Shout, it was just an accident last time..."

Hattori Heiji muttered something under his breath.

He was very resentful. The incident at the ski resort had been widely reported, and his name and Shinichi Kudo's name had been mentioned many times.

Their flawed reasoning was widely reported, and that incident was the first humiliation of his life. He felt that he was just too hasty at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a mistake.

After all, their reasoning was correct at the beginning, but they made a mistake at the end. If given another chance, they certainly wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Shiraishi Xiu dared not be presumptuous, and humbly replied, "It was just a coincidence; I happened to encounter a case that I was good at. If I had encountered some other cases, perhaps I could have..."

There's nothing we can do.

"You are too modest."

"Just telling the truth."

"You're being modest."

Seeing that the two seemed about to continue like this, Toyama Ginjiro laughed loudly and said, "Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. I'm afraid if you keep talking like this, you won't even have dinner."

"All right……"

Hattori Heizo nodded and stopped doing that.

Ginjiro Toyama glanced at Heiji Hattori and continued, "But Heizo, he's just like you when you were young. His future is limitless."

Hattori Heizo said helplessly, "Toyama, chatting is fine, but you can't drink! Don't you have to drive later?"

"Don't worry." Toyama Ginjiro paused, then said meaningfully, "Anyway, I was planning to have you take me home tonight, so I don't think you'll refuse, right?"

Hattori Heizo glanced at his good friend, his already narrowed eyes seeming to narrow even more, but he didn't say anything, only nodded in agreement.

Shiraishi Osamu paid no attention to any of this. It was already evening, and he turned his gaze to Yukiko, who was silently eating. He winked at her from time to time, hoping she would understand what he meant.

at last……

Huang Tian deserves a caring person.

Yukiko finally put down her chopsticks, glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and gave him a very mischievous smile.

Chapter 0261: Yukiko Being Recorded

Dinner is over.

On the road.

Hattori Heizo was driving, with Toyama Ginjiro in the passenger seat and Toyama Kazuha sleeping peacefully in the back.

Osaka at night is also ablaze with lights, revealing its bustling, lively, and thriving side.

Hattori Heizo gripped the steering wheel and suddenly said, "What's the matter? If you want me to drive you, then you have something to say to me!"

He knew this friend of his very well.

So when the other party spoke to him tonight, he immediately knew that they wanted to talk to him about something, so he didn't bother beating around the bush and asked directly.

Ginjiro Toyama opened his eyes, which had been closed, and couldn't help but smile: "It's about Heiji and my daughter. I think they get along quite well. Kazuha is seventeen this year, and she'll be twenty soon after starting university. Rather than letting her be snatched away by some good-for-nothing, it's better to pair her up with your son."

Hattori Heizo's expression remained unchanged: "Stop with the nonsense, just tell me your real purpose!"

"Hahaha……"

Ginjiro Toyama laughed heartily, shaking his head as he laughed: "Why are you still the same as always? You don't know how to be flexible at all. Okay... do you still remember the case at Osaka Castle thirteen years ago?"

Hattori Heizo opened his narrowed eyes slightly and said calmly, "You mean that unidentified charred corpse that surfaced in the flood channel?"

"At the time, all we found on the victim was this burnt fragment." Ginjiro Toyama took out a fragment that was in a transparent bag from his pocket.

Hattori Heizo glanced at it sideways: "Yeah, back then we often said we'd throw this thing into the sea to feed the fish. It was just wishful thinking."

"Now perhaps this is not entirely a pipe dream."

"Ok?"

"Because another one has appeared. We found similar fragments on the charred corpse we discovered in the abandoned flood diversion channel to the east. It has now been sent to the research institute, and I am certain that it was made at the same time. Moreover, the fragment we found this time also shows the number 848 on its outer side. It seems that things are very likely as we deduced thirteen years ago. Something is still sleeping somewhere..."

Ginjiro Toyama's last words sounded just like the mysterious things the villains in the movie say, with a very similar tone.

Hattori Heizo nodded: "Yes, that is an enormous treasure for the people of the world."

I don't know when.

Kazuha had already woken up in the back seat, and listening to the conversation between the two adults, she felt a chill run down her spine.

The atmosphere in the car made her feel like a lamb under the intimidating presence of two villains, making her extremely uncomfortable.

Although I don't know what the two adults are talking about, it just sounds weird and not normal at all.

the other side.

Osamu Shiraishi and Yukiko made an excuse and separated themselves from the others.

now……

They sat on tatami seats where they could put their feet down, eating a steaming hot pot.

This local specialty dish only contains beef offal, cabbage, and chives, and the taste left Yukiko, who had initially believed that meat was tastier than offal, speechless.

"Seriously, aren't we going a bit too far?"

"Woman, you're only just realizing this now!"
