Goro Otaki stood respectfully in front of the desk:
"That's the situation. Young Master Heiji and Kusukawa only suffered minor injuries. Miss Kazuha is fine because she didn't go with them."
Hattori Heizo put down his phone, which contained several sets of photos related to the case: "I understand. It's good to let that kid suffer a little, so he won't cause even bigger trouble in the future."
Goro Otaki lowered his head and remained silent.
Hattori Heizo continued, "Don't tell anyone about this, especially Shizuka. That kid hasn't called me yet. He must feel he's lost face big time and wants to get revenge."
I suspect he'll find a reason to stay in Beika Town, and come back when he finds an excuse to save face. Let him be.
"Also, I will speak with Kazuha's father in person."
Goro Otaki nodded: "Yes, I understand."
The room fell silent as Goro Otaki continued to stand there patiently, having received no orders.
After a full half minute, Hattori Heizo suddenly spoke up: "Compared to Heiji, who do you think has stronger reasoning skills, Awami Kazuki or Heiji?"
Goro Otaki: "I think young master Heiji is even more amazing. This time, even though young master Heiji was kidnapped by the kidnappers, he was still able to send out a signal, allowing those guys in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to find the villa where the murderer was. I think that's already very impressive."
Goro Otaki and Heiji Hattori are close friends, so he naturally chose to speak up for the other.
"That's true, but we were rescued by someone after all this time." Hattori Heizo thought for a moment, "I'll have Shizuka visit Onomizu Kazuki when I have time to thank him."
Goro Otaki's eyes lit up: "Are you planning to recruit Kazuki Onami to our Osaka Prefectural Police?"
"It's too early to talk about this now..." Hattori Heizo took out a cigarette, and Otaki Goro immediately pulled out a lighter from his pocket and stepped forward to help light it.
Hattori Heizo took a deep drag on his cigarette, then exhaled a cloud of smoke that obscured his expression:
"I always had a feeling that the young man named Wen Shui was hiding some secret."
.
The Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters in Beika Town.
If you were to ask which places in Beika Town are the liveliest at night, aside from the bars and nightclubs that young people like to go, it would definitely be the entrance to the Metropolitan Police Department building.
A row of police cars, flashing blue and red lights, stood ready to respond to any call. Drunk men, handcuffed and carried out of the police station were a common sight, as were delinquents with brightly colored hair.
After giving their statements, Wenshui and her group were personally escorted out by Inspector Megure.
Miwako Sato, who happened to be at the Metropolitan Police Department, also came out with them.
Unfortunately, Officer Sato has another case to handle later and can't have ramen with Wenshui and the others for a late-night snack.
Wen Shui wanted to show his boyfriend skills by buying a late-night snack for Sato Miwako, but she politely declined after realizing his intentions.
"I'm on a diet recently, so I can't eat too much at night," Miwako said.
Wen Shui looked surprised: "Didn't you say that being a criminal police officer doesn't require losing weight, and that the daily work itself would burn off the fat?"
"It was okay before, but I ate a bit too much during my break, so I can't seem to maintain a balance anymore." Miwako said with a pained expression, like a teenage girl struggling with exams.
Wen Shui smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to worry about it so much. I think it's nice if there's a bit of flesh on the thighs. They feel better to squeeze."
Sato Miwako blushed and glared at him: "Who, who cares about your feelings? I just don't want to affect my actions when I'm arresting criminals."
Although she verbally expressed her reluctance, Miwako immediately came up with several "midnight snack plans" in her mind. She hadn't had fried chicken in a long time, so maybe she should ask Yumi about it later?
Wen Shui smiled silently, not revealing her thoughts.
.
After parting ways with Inspector Megure, Nukumizu and his group found a ramen restaurant with a fairly good reputation.
Although it was just ramen, because everyone had been on the go all day, and two of them were even unlucky enough to be kidnapped, the ramen didn't taste much worse than barbecue.
After finishing their late-night snack, Hattori Heiji said he was going to a hotel to calm his nerves and wouldn't bother the Mori family any longer.
Kazuha and Toyama spent the night together as childhood friends, but they are still just ordinary childhood friends. They booked two rooms, and Kazuha even warmly invited Ran to sleep in the hotel's double room with her.
However, Wen Shui later secretly approached Xiao Lan and said that he had solved two kidnapping cases that day and wanted to relieve his fatigue.
Ran couldn't resist agreeing to Wen Shui's request and politely declined Toyama Kazuha's invitation.
Yukiko Kudo drove Conan back to her villa. Conan's excuse was that he wanted to see Yukiko Kudo's collection of Kamen Rider picture books, but it was really just a pretext.
After all, they can't acknowledge each other now, but sometimes they need to find opportunities to strengthen their relationship and talk about things that can't be known by others, so Conan came up with this reason.
Yukiko didn't actually want Conan to go home with her. The kid was too smart, and it would be troublesome if he tricked her into revealing something.
However, Conan was very determined today, so Mrs. Kudo had no choice but to give up.
There was no other way but to be on high alert and absolutely not let the new set of rules utter a word, Yukiko made up her mind.
.
Wenshui was first driven home by the Metropolitan Police Department. After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he braved the drizzle and went to the Mouri Detective Agency with an umbrella.
Uncle Mori, who was holding a beer, opened the door for Wen Shui. He looked at Wen Shui with a puzzled expression when he saw him running over in the middle of the night: "What are you doing here, kid?"
"I forgot to pick up the things I asked Xiaolan to buy, so I came here for a tactical meeting." Wen Shui smiled innocently.
"A war meeting? What do you mean?" Kogoro Mouri blocked the door with his body, preventing Wen Shui from entering the room.
Just as Wen Shui was about to explain, Xiao Lan, wearing light green pajamas, walked to the entrance while drying her hair: "Ah, Wen Shui, you're here! That's great! Sonoko is already waiting for us."
Kogoro Mouri turned around, puzzled, and asked, "Sonoko? What are you guys up to in the middle of the night?"
"Our Suzuran Detective Club solved two cases today, right? Sonoko missed it because she went to a banquet with her mother, so she just decided to hold a tactical meeting to discuss the cases in detail," Ran explained.
Kogoro Mouri seemed to have drunk quite a bit, but he didn't ask any further questions. He simply told Nori that after the meeting, Nori should hurry up and go back to see Yoko Okino's concert.
Wen Shui and Xiao Lan went to her room and turned on the video on her phone.
Sonoko Suzuki also looked like she had just taken a shower, and was lying on the bed wearing the same style of pajamas as Ran.
Afterwards, the three of them briefly discussed the process of the two kidnapping cases that day. At first, Xiaolan was able to analyze it seriously, but soon she became less willing to speak.
Because Wen Shui secretly slipped her hand inside her pajamas.
Xiaolan had just finished showering, so she was definitely not wearing a vacuum. The warm water was just gently swirling around Xiaolan's delicate and beautiful back, which almost made her moan softly several times.
Finally, in order to avoid Sonoko Suzuki noticing that something was wrong, Ran abruptly ended the video call and then glared angrily at Wen Shui.
Wen Shui grabbed Xiao Lan's soft little hand, brought it to her lips and smelled it lightly: "It smells so good, did you change your shower gel again?"
With a helpless expression, Xiaolan couldn't help but say, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? I feel guilty for deceiving Sonoko."
Wen Shui: "Then let's tell Sonoko. If you're worried about being embarrassed to say it in person, we'll tell her via video call..."
"No!" Xiaolan was startled and quickly tried to grab the phone from Wenshui's hand.
However, Wen Shui was just putting on an act. He dodged, and Xiao Lan bumped directly into Wen Shui's arms.
Her hair was still damp, clinging to her face in the warm water, and the pleasant scent of shampoo wafted towards her.
Wen Shui took the opportunity to hug Xiao Lan, feeling the exquisite touch of her fair and slender legs. Then, he used the tip of his nose to push aside the long hair by her ear and gently bit her delicate little ear.
Xiao Lan shuddered, her bare, white feet, which were suspended in mid-air, curled up into a ball:
"No, no, don't do that, Daddy isn't asleep yet."
Outside the door, Uncle Mori was watching Yoko Okino's concert, the volume turned up very high. Uncle Mori seemed determined not to sleep until Wen Shui left, not giving this kid a chance.
Wen Shui knew that now was not the time to confront Kogoro Mouri head-on. He looked at Ran pitifully and said, "What should I do? I can't sleep at night like this."
Xiaolan blushed and said softly, "Why don't you go take a bath first? I'll save the bathwater and see how things go later."
Warm Water: "But I just took a shower at home."
"It's okay, let's wash again." Xiaolan said, breaking free from the warm water's embrace and pushing his back towards the bathroom. "I'll scrub your back later, just to help you relieve your fatigue."
Wen Shui was about to explain that simply rubbing his back couldn't relieve the deep fatigue in his heart.
Suddenly, I felt Mei-chan press against me through my pajamas.
Wait a minute, could this be the back scrub Xiaolan was talking about?
Wen Shui was initially delighted, but then she remembered that Xiao Lan had feinted at her that afternoon, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Chapter 310 Taking a bath, then having Xiaolan massage my shoulders
Warm Water was half-heartedly pushed out of the room by Xiao Lan and headed towards the bathroom.
"I'll bring your pajamas over later and put them in the laundry basket by the door," Xiaolan said as she walked towards the guest room.
Wen Shui often stayed overnight here, so she left a set of pajamas at Xiao Lan's house for convenience when sleeping.
Although the pajamas weren't a matching pair with Ran's, his behavior of changing into pajamas at night like family and wandering around the Mouri Detective Agency still annoyed Conan and Kogoro Mouri.
Moreover, every time he wore warm water, even if it didn't get dirty, Xiaolan would personally wash it clean for him.
Conan has seen Ran blushing several times when she washes clothes by hand, as if she is doing something shameful.
This made Conan want to tamper with the pajamas several times.
However, he held back in the end. Conan was afraid of angering Wen Shui. If Wen Shui didn't stay overnight and took Ran out under the pretext of investigating the case, it would be more troublesome for him to supervise her.
Wen Shui: "Okay, but hurry up, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep."
"Don't fall asleep in the bathtub." Ran probably suddenly remembered that Yotsuki Reika had been killed in the bathtub before, and couldn't help but remind Warm Water.
Wen Shui: "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Xiaolan turned and walked towards the guest room. Wenshui could clearly hear Uncle Mori watching Yoko Okino's concert in the living room.
He pushed open the glass sliding door to the bathroom, and a light mist mixed with the scent of shower gel wafted out.
The last person to finish showering was probably Xiaolan. She had cleaned the bathroom very well, and there were many white bubbles floating on the surface of the bathtub, probably from using bath salts or something similar.
Wen Shui closed the door behind her, walked to the showerhead and rinsed her body, feeling the warmth of the hot water on her shoulders. Soon after, she heard Uncle Mori and Ran arguing outside the door.
"Why did that kid go to the bathroom to take a shower? Wasn't he supposed to be having a tactical meeting?"
"It's all done. Tomorrow morning we're going out with Hattori-kun and Kazuha. And it's raining outside, so let Onami stay in the guest room tonight."
"Damn it, you guys didn't plan this, did you? I'm warning you, you can't go to that kid's room in the middle of the night!"
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't I tell you to drink less alcohol..."
Listening to the argument between the father and daughter outside the door, Wen Shui couldn't help but smile. Although their tones were harsh, it was easy to sense their concern for each other.
Wen Shui can actually understand Kogoro Mouri quite well. If he and Ran have a daughter in the future, they will guard against those scheming young men outside as if they were thieves.
