Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

Yusuke Sakata quickly bowed and greeted him.

After all, it's a hierarchical society like Japan. You might think that bowing to each other is just politeness, but there are actually many nuances to bowing.

For example, the extent of Sakata Yusuke's bow to Gu De was clearly not as great as the extent of his bow to Hattori Shizuka at this moment.

After all, Hattori Shizuka is the wife of the Superintendent General of Police!

"What are you doing, Mom!"

"Brother Gu De must ride in a police car!"

"This is the latest model, perfect for entertaining Brother Gu De!"

Hattori Heiji muttered a dissatisfied remark.

Gu De smiled and nodded, realizing that he did indeed need to observe Sakata Yusuke.

Furthermore, if Toyama Kazuha were there, she would definitely ride in Hattori Shizuka's car, and even if I rode in it, I wouldn't be able to have a deep conversation with Hattori Shizuka.

"Mrs. Hattori, then I'll experience the most luxurious car in Osaka!"

Gu De got into the police car with a smile.

Get in your car?

No need yet, after all, I just finished work last night and I still have important things to do!

Hattori Heiji cheered and quickly squeezed inside.

A hint of disappointment flickered in Hattori Shizuka's eyes, but she quickly masked it.

Kazuha Toyama glared angrily at Heiji Hattori's smug expression, then haughtily climbed into Shizuka Hattori's car.

The two cars, one in front and one behind, immediately set off.

Thank you for your support!

Since we're already in Osaka, we definitely won't miss Okaha!

Chapter 172 Kudo, isn't Miss Mori your childhood friend?

"You psychologist kid? What are you doing here?"

When Kogoro Mouri saw Gu De, he immediately looked surprised.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Hattori Shizuka.

[Gain 21 units of Kogoro Mouri's emotional value from the story character]

This brat, how come he has beautiful girls everywhere he goes!

And this one is simply the epitome of elegance!

This suit, paired with top-notch poise, is simply...

Thinking of this, Kogoro Mouri inexplicably thought of Eri Kisaki.

but.

Ran told me that Eri Kisaki has moved to Yukiko Kudo's house and hasn't been to the agency for a long time!

Even his contact with Xiaolan became less frequent...

"Brother Gu De!"

Ran Mouri walked over excitedly and naturally took Gu De's arm.

This action immediately made Hattori Heiji's face twitch.

what's the situation?

Isn't Ran Mouri Kudo's girlfriend?

how......

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji looked at Conan beside him with some puzzlement.

Conan awkwardly turned his face away, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

I was hoping that being invited to Osaka would give me time to meet Ran alone, but why is Gu De here too!

Could it be...?

Conan glanced at Kogoro Mouri with a resentful look.

Could it be that Uncle told Xiaolan?

Kazuha Toyama stood beside Shizuka Hattori, looking just like a young wife catching her mother-in-law cheating on her husband.

She was wary when she first saw Ran Mouri.

Could this woman be the mysterious Kudo?

Heiji called this woman quite a few times while he was in Osaka!

but.

Seeing Ran Mouri rush over excitedly and naturally and affectionately hug Gu De's arm, Kazuha Toyama finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems this person isn't that woman named Kudo!

"Hello, I am Heiji's mother, Hattori Shizuka."

Hattori Shizuka initially thought that her relationship with Gu De was just a temporary diversion, but when she saw the young and beautiful girl hug Gu De as soon as she was coaxed over, she suddenly felt a bit complicated.

What's wrong with me?!

My heart was already as still as water!

But after encountering Goo De, it clearly stirred up ripples!

Now, seeing young girls embracing Gu De, I even felt a slight pang of jealousy.

So she decisively and confidently stepped forward to introduce herself.

This also interrupted the intimate conversation between the young girl and Gu De.

"So you're the wife of the Osaka Prefectural Police Superintendent!"

Kogoro Mouri, being a former police officer, immediately spoke with some respect.

"I am Kogoro Mouri, number 3717, 29.119."

"This is my daughter, Ran Mouri."

Then he glanced at Conan again: "This little guy is... he's Conan, the kid who often comes to my house to play."

The two sides quickly got to know each other.

Yuanshan and Ye suddenly felt a little bored.

Am I overthinking things?

It seems Heiji really just came to take the Mori family on a trip!

After learning the situation, Kogoro Mouri's jealousy towards Gu De subsided slightly.

It turns out she's the wife of the Osaka Prefectural Police Superintendent. I thought she was that brat's new girlfriend!

I knew it! How could such an elegant and dignified woman possibly have anything to do with this brat!

Just like Eri, she definitely won't have anything to do with that brat Gu De!

"Hey, Kudo, is Ran Mouri really your girlfriend?"

While everyone was chatting, Heiji Hattori quietly crouched down next to Conan.

Conan glanced at him blankly without saying a word.

"Hey you, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Didn't you say before... that Ran Mouri and you were childhood friends?"

Hattori Heiji was also secretly a little gossipy.

"That guy...it's all that guy's fault!"

Conan looked at Gu De, his voice filled with complex emotions.

"That guy?"

Following his gaze, Hattori Heiji immediately understood.

"You mean... Gu De pursued Ran Mouri and then stole her away?"

His respect and friendliness towards Gu De instantly lessened.

but.

Conan shook his head.

"No...it wasn't Gu De...it was Xiao Lan who initiated it..."

Conan spoke haltingly, but it left Hattori Heiji somewhat bewildered.

Did Ran Mouri actively pursue Gu De?

How could that be!

Heiji, what are you doing?

Kazuha Toyama suddenly appeared like a ghost next to Heiji Hattori and Conan.

His eyes were full of suspicion.

"I'm chatting with this kid!"

Hattori Heiji immediately looked disgusted.

What are you doing here, woman, at this crucial moment?

"Oh?"

"is it?"

Kazuha Toyama's eyes grew even more suspicious.

Just now, she clearly heard Heiji mention the word "Kudo" in his conversation with that brat!
