Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

After seeing the other party off, Gu De coughed lightly and said, "Given the current situation, let's go and check on Goji Sotaro."

Hattori Heiji nodded immediately.

"How about Officer Sakata drives this time?"

Goode looked at Sakata Yusuke and smiled. Then he saw Conan trying to repeat his old trick and sneak into Hattori Heiji's clothes again.

This time, however, Gu De immediately gave Kogoro Mouri a wink.

"Huh? What are you doing, brat?"

Kogoro Mouri frowned, then followed Gu De's gaze.

They immediately noticed Conan's two legs, which were still sticking out and moving around wildly!

"You brat, what are you doing?!"

Kogoro Mouri took a few quick steps forward and grabbed Conan by the leg, pulling him out!

"Let me go!"

"Let me go!"

Conan twisted and turned wildly, just like a mouse being held by the tail.

Does anyone like Shizuka Hattori?

There will be another update later tonight. Thank you all for your support!

Chapter 178 Hattori Shizuka: "Tonight, I'll go crazy one last time!"

"You brat, you'd better stay right here this time!"

Kogoro Mouri grabbed Conan with one hand and used the other to deliver a powerful punch.

Conan, who was hanging upside down, suddenly got a big bump on his head.

Conan wanted to protest, but Heiji Hattori suddenly stopped him.

"Don't worry, little brother. We'll explain the situation to you clearly."

Conan was somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.

But with so many eyes watching, Conan couldn't press for answers and could only let the other person leave.

On the way to Goji Sotaro's house, Gu De glanced at Sakata Yusuke.

"Mr. Sakata, do you think the murderer might be looking for Fuchi Ichiro?"

Sakata Yusuke's body trembled.

This is exactly what I planned!

But for some reason, he always felt something was off, as if Goode was being too cooperative with him!

"I also think it's very likely Numabuchi Kiichiro. He's been wanted for a long time, and when he's desperate, he'll definitely choose to achieve some goal through these old acquaintances."

"But I never expected that these people were involved in that driving school accident twenty years ago!"

Yusuke Sakata's face darkened, and he gripped the steering wheel even tighter.

"Numabuchi Kiichiro has been back in Osaka for some time now, hasn't he?"

Heiji Hattori, sitting in the back row, also joined the conversation.

Gu De nodded: "I looked at the information when I had some free time earlier, and there's something I haven't quite figured out yet."

"If Numabuchi Kiichiro came back and killed so many people, and could clearly track their movements, how did he manage to move around the city?"

"If I remember correctly, there is a record of the car that Numabuchi Kiichiro used when he fled. It would be too conspicuous for him to still be driving that car around the city!"

As Gu De spoke, he noticed that Yusuke Sakata was gripping the steering wheel even tighter.

"If he didn't drive his own car and chose to hide instead, where would he hide it?"

"The location where the vehicle is hidden must be a safe, secluded place that is easy to access."

"Given the current high number of murders, Osaka police will definitely intensify their search efforts."

"Then what about Numabuchi Kiichiro?"

"I think that at the current pace, we should have a result in the next few days!"

After saying that, Gu De leaned back comfortably.

[Gained 31 points of Sakata Yusuke's Emotional Value]

"squeak~"

The car suddenly shook.

Sakata Yusuke, looking uncomfortable, stopped the car and turned to the two of them: "Hey, Heiji, Mr. Gu De, my stomach is a little upset."

"I need to use the restroom and buy some medicine nearby on the way."

Yusuke Sakata said with difficulty.

He only learned about the murder of his father by Goji Sotaro and his gang when he was capturing Numabuchi Kiichiro in the mountains.

Therefore, they immediately located Numabuchi Kiichiro at the point of arrest.

But after what Gu De said, I realized that I had indeed acted rashly!

We must resolve this issue before Numabuchi Kiichiro's car is discovered!

Gu De nodded indifferently: "When you didn't eat ramen today, I suspected you might not be feeling well."

"Hurry up and go. You police officers have such irregular lifestyles that your health isn't very good."

Hattori Heiji, also concerned, urged Sakata Yusuke to leave.

"I'll drive Heiji there; Heiji can give me directions!"

Gu De added a sentence and then urged Sakata Yusuke to leave.

Sakata Yusuke thanked the two men, gave Gu De a deep look, and then immediately got out of the car.

Before leaving, he overheard Goode saying something.

"Heiji, what's your opinion on blood revenge?"

Hattori Heiji's expression froze for a moment. He had indeed encountered situations of blood revenge during the investigation.

"Alright, don't overthink it, Heiji, let's go now."

Good waved to the Honda Right Edge parked on the side of the road, stepped on the gas, and drove off immediately.

When they arrived at Goji Sotaro's house, the other party indeed refused all police assistance.

Goode, however, didn't seem to care. He leisurely sipped his tea, watched TV programs, and listened to the police officers muttering complaints.

The police negotiated with the councilor for a long time, but they couldn't figure out why he had to go back first.

With no other options, the police gave up trying to communicate with the councilor and only left people nearby to provide protection.

Instead of returning to the Metropolitan Police Department, Gu De and Hattori Heiji went directly back to the Hattori residence.

"The police have intensified their search for Kiichiro Numabuchi. It looks like Dad will be spending the night at the Metropolitan Police Department again tonight!"

Hattori Heiji sighed.

The two parked Sakata Yusuke's car at the Hattori residence, got out of the car and went back inside. Gu De noticed that the lights in the Hattori residence seemed to be on more tonight.

Shizuka Hattori had changed into a dark-colored kimono. Combined with her dignified and elegant demeanor, it strangely reminded Gu De of certain widow films.

"Hey Heiji, you've been running around like a headless chicken today. Did you even bring the charm I gave you?"

Kazuha Toyama and Ran Mouri peeked out.

Immediately afterwards, Gu De saw Conan and Kogoro Mouri.

It turns out that these guys were also invited to Hattori Shizuka's home.

Hattori Shizuka seemed to see through Goode's thoughts, and smiled as she helped him arrange his slippers: "Then tonight, Heiji and I will entertain all our friends from Tohoku!"

Kazuha Toyama quickly raised his hand, "Me too! Me too!"

Her words immediately earned her a glare from Hattori Heiji.

However, it's clear that after the misunderstanding was cleared up, the relationship between Kazuha Toyama and Ran Mouri improved significantly.

With the help of Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama, the meal was very lavish.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Kogoro Mori muttered to himself, "It would be great if there were some beer or sake with this food!"

Ran Mouri immediately protested, "Dad, how can you make these demands when you're a guest at someone else's house?"

However, Hattori Shizuka smiled and looked at Hattori Heiji: "Heiji, go and get some wine to entertain Mr. Mori. Also, Goode, would you like some wine too?"

Gu De shook his head; he had other plans for tonight!

"Oh my, what you've made, Madam, is truly delicious!"

Kogoro Mouri rubbed his hands together, a sheepish smile on his face, and thought to himself, "This really is a great snack to have with drinks!"

However, with Ran watching him intently from the side, Kogoro Mouri swallowed his words.

Hattori Shizuka was merely returning the greeting politely; her true purpose was quite simple.

Kogoro Mouri is a well-known detective. If I and Good are going somewhere tonight, we absolutely cannot let Kogoro Mouri find out!

So giving him alcohol and getting him drunk to impair his mobility is a great idea!

Hattori Shizuka was actually conflicted inside.

Especially today, when her husband, Hattori Heizo, appeared in the warning room, she felt a strong sense of guilt.

But besides guilt, there was also a strong sense of excitement.

It seemed that at that moment, she freed herself from the various responsibilities and obligations imposed by her identity and surname as Hattori Shizuka, and even slapped these traditions hard in the face.

Only in that moment was she being herself.

Moreover, this act of being yourself brings intense stimulation and excitement!

These are all things I've never had before!

Besides, Gu De is from Tokyo, so he can't stay in Osaka forever!
