Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

The more Hattori Heiji thought about it, the more anxious he became.

But at that moment, the school bell rang.

"Hurry up, Heiji!"

Kazuha Toyama immediately grabbed Heiji Hattori and ran towards the school building.

"Oh well, Kudo's coming tomorrow anyway!"

"We'll discuss this with him later; this guy is more familiar with Gu De!"

He watched Hattori Heiji leave.

Gu De withdrew his gaze: "Heiji is really energetic."

Hattori Shizuka's eyes flickered upon hearing his words.

"Mr. Gu De, I didn't expect you to value Heiji so much."

Gu De gestured for him to proceed and slowly walked forward.

Shizuka Hattori, dressed in a kimono, followed behind with small steps.

The hem of the kimono swayed slightly, making the patterns on it appear three-dimensional and full.

"I just think Heiji is a very energetic guy. I met him once in Tokyo and he left a deep impression on me."

"But Mrs. Hattori, you've come all this way for another reason, haven't you?"

Gu De asked slowly.

He had originally only planned to make a brief encounter with Hattori Heiji and then guide the boy to invite him to participate in a tour of Osaka.

Then, while trying to cover for the vengeful police officer Sakata Yusuke, they finally killed their target, Goji Sotaro.

However, unexpectedly, Hattori Shizuka's sudden appearance disrupted her rhythm.

It's unlikely that Hattori Shizuka would suddenly appear just for her, so she was probably secretly watching her son and future daughter-in-law come to school together.

But to their surprise, they saw them and decided to come directly to them.

“Mr. Gu De, you are indeed very quick-witted.”

"One of the reasons I came here is that I have often heard about your situation and wanted to meet you in person."

"Another reason is that Heiji seemed a bit absent-minded after going to Tokyo several times. When he happened to see you here, I thought that Heiji was in contact with you."

"As for the third point..."

Hattori Shizuka paused slightly at this point.

However, it is true that Hattori Heiji was absent-minded after returning to Osaka from Tokyo, but he was with Kudo Shinichi.

Is there a third point?

Gu De was somewhat puzzled.

"As for the third point... I actually really like Ms. Yoko Okino. I've heard that you and Ms. Okino have a good relationship, so I'd like to ask you to help me get an autographed photo of her..."

Hattori Shizuka finished speaking in one breath.

Her face still held a gentle smile, but in addition to her dignified elegance, her eyes now held a hint of anticipation.

It turns out it was Yoko Okino...

Gu De nodded.

This problem is not big.

Moreover, I haven't been in contact with Yoko Okino for a while. Yoko Okino had previously told me that she was filming a drama recently.

I'll arrange to meet up with my friends after this is over.

"Okay, Mrs. Hattori, no problem."

"That's great!"

Hattori Shizuka clasped her hands together and said excitedly.

She quickly regained her previous elegance and poise, and after a moment's thought, she said, "Mr. Goo, would you mind if I bought you a cup of coffee?"

Cafe.

Request flowers

Gu De sat opposite Hattori Shizuka.

Somewhat to his surprise, Hattori Shizuka didn't like coffee with high sugar and milk content like Okino Yoko and the others.

Instead, I ordered an Americano, and chose a coffee bean type that was more fruity.

It really does match her temperament.

"I've only met Heiji once, but I have a deep impression of him."

Gu De picked up his cappuccino and said with a smile.

"Hmm, I see."

“I’m sorry, Mr. Gu De, as a parent, I have to keep an eye on Heiji’s daily life.”

Shizuka Hattori sat there with her body upright, making her figure under her kimono even more clearly visible.

"Understandable."

Gu De glanced around.

Morning hours, weekdays.

There were very few people in the coffee shop, and given the nature of the place, surveillance cameras were only installed at the entrance.

"To be honest... Mr. Gooder..."

"Just call me Gu De, Mrs. Hattori."

Gu De interrupted Hattori Shizuka with a smile.

"Ok."

"Actually, I've occasionally overheard Heiji's phone calls; it seems to be someone named Kudo."

"My personal guess is that Kudo might refer to Shinichi Kudo, the high school detective."

"but......"

Before Hattori Shizuka could finish speaking, Tani (backup 2) took out a hypnotic pocket watch.

On the gold dial, the rubies shimmered with an eerie light.

"Mrs. Hattori, I've got something good for you!"

Gu De smiled and swung his hypnotic pocket watch.

Hattori Shizuka quickly got into the zone, her originally intelligent eyes becoming unfocused, only looking at Gu De.

"One minute?"

Goo De opened the hypnosis pocket watch and glanced at it.

This woman seems to have a very strong will!

"Mrs. Hattori, do you feel that your kimono doesn't fit you well?"

"How about we go to the restroom and I check it for you?"

Gu De stood up with a smile.

Hattori Shizuka followed closely behind.

Two cups of coffee were placed on the table, steam rising slightly.

The heat dissipated around, slowly merging and converging together, each part of the other.

The rich, American-style aroma is enveloped by the milky notes of cappuccino, gradually blending together.

Amid the faint noise of the coffee machine, the barista seemed to hear other sounds as well.

He listened intently, but there was nothing there.

"Perhaps it's just auditory hallucination?"

"I need to talk to the boss about this!"

The barista shook his head and continued with his work.

Thank you all for your support. I'm just writing slowly, not that I've lost my mind.

Chapter 165 Hattori Shizuka's Dinner Invitation!

Gu De walked out of the restroom and straightened his pants.

"All three hypnosis attempts were used on Mrs. Abdomen. This lady is really resilient."

Gu De shook his head.

He noticed that among these wives, Hattori Shizuka seemed to have the best physical strength.

Unlike the weaker Yukiko Kudo and the barely passable Eri Kisaki, Shizuka Hattori's stamina rivals that of Vermouth.

No wonder he was a former kendo champion.

Gu De sat back down in his seat.

The coffee had cooled slightly.

The heat had long since dissipated.

Shortly after, Hattori Shizuka came out.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Gu De."

"just......"

At this point, Hattori Shizuka seemed a little hesitant.

"I just ran into an old classmate and we chatted for a while."

Hattori Shizuka said apologetically.
