Since the case from seven years ago remains unsolved, Hattori Heiji, who is currently in charge of the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Investigation Division, feels that he is going to lose his hair again.

Unfortunately, Hattori, who was rushing to the scene to verify the case in the afternoon, received a call from his wife Mao Lilan at around four o'clock in the afternoon.

His wife, Mao Lilan, spoke rapidly on the phone, and her words were incoherent.

After he asked several times, he finally found out what happened.

Knowing that the situation was not good, Hattori could not help but sweat under his armpits.

His son, Hattori Conan, was caught for theft. The store owner said that Conan stole a Blu-ray DVD from the family stationery store.

This was hard for him to believe.

Although his son Conan hated studying, he inherited his sense of justice.

I was told from a young age that I could either be a basketball player or a police officer.

With such a strong sense of justice, how could such a son steal!

According to his wife, his son denied stealing and claimed that it was not him who stole the items. However, his reaction made the store owner even more tough and he threatened to call the police.

Mao Lilan also told him that she was on a business trip in Osaka and couldn't make it. He called his mother but couldn't get through.

Her father, Kogoro, has been notified to mediate, but knowing that her father is unreliable, Xiaolan still wants her husband to come in person.

There was no other way, so Hattori Heiji could only tell his wife that he would be there soon and take care of his son's matter.

When he arrived at the store, Hattori found that the store was located between his home and Hanzawa's neighborhood.

Under the clerk's arrangement, he went straight to the office in the store.

Both the father-in-law and the son were in the office! After revealing his identity to the store manager, Hattori asked him to explain the situation.

The store manager got even angrier after hearing this, and felt that this family was just taking advantage of their background to bully others.

After learning that the thief's father was the chief investigator of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division and a warning warden, he became even more angry.

The store manager huffs, and as Conan starts to leave, the store's alarm goes off, but he continues walking out of the store.

He stopped only after the guard chased him and called him. He took him back into the store and checked his handbag. Then he found a brand new Blu-ray DVD inside, wrapped in aluminum foil. It was obviously a product from this store. The alarm sensed the anti-theft label on it, so it made a sound.

"He stole on purpose," the store manager concluded with gritted teeth. "He thought that as long as he wrapped it in aluminum foil, the alarm wouldn't detect it. Unfortunately, the anti-theft system in our store is not that simple."

Hattori Conan shook his head vigorously, with tears of grievance in his eyes.

He is now in the fourth grade, studying at the Xiuzhiyuan Elementary School. Although his grades are not good, he knows very well what he should and should not do.

"I don't know Dad, I didn't steal this, believe me, I really didn't steal anything."

The store manager glared at Conan fiercely and shouted, "You still don't admit it. If he had admitted to stealing and apologized to us, I would have given him a chance. I didn't expect him to refuse to admit his fault, so I had to deal with it impartially. Stealing really bothers us. Please, as a father, discipline him. Such bad behavior is your fault as a father."

Conan looked even more aggrieved. He protested loudly, "I really didn't steal anything. We don't need money, so why would I steal? Someone must have put something in my handbag. I was listening to music just now so I didn't notice it."

Seeing his son emphasize this, Hattori Heiji decided to believe him.

He asked the store manager, "Is this okay? Let me see the surveillance video in the store. Your store is quite large. If someone really played a prank on my son, maybe they could have recorded it on video."

However, his expectations were dashed as the recorded video clearly showed his son in the Blu-ray DVD area with his back to the camera, seemingly picking up a product.

Hattori Heiji had no room for excuses at all. Besides, the fact was right in front of him that the product was in his son's handbag, and he couldn't deny it at all.

"Well, this is enough evidence, right? We should have done this anyway. You police have always asked us to report stolen items even if the amount is small. You are also a police officer, so you should understand this."

The store manager continued angrily.

Because it was true, Hattori Heiji could not refute it. However, once he called the police, he knew that his son would have a criminal record for theft.

And his position as a warning supervisor might not be kept and might be plotted against by someone with ulterior motives!

He was able to climb to this position because of Mrs. Akimoto's hard work using various resources and means. Now he would lose it just because of his son's mistake.

How could he face Mrs. Akimoto in the underworld?

What should I do? This store manager clearly wants an apology instead of money!

Since the amount of the goods was not high, the son should be able to get the store's forgiveness as long as he kneels down and apologizes.

In this way, even if the news gets out in the end, he can arrange for his friends in the media to help!

"Conan, tell me now. Has anyone you know approached you during this period? Think carefully about whether they were playing a joke on you."

Hattori Heiji squatted down, looked directly into his son's eyes and began his final questioning.

"Have it?"

Conan raised his head and pursed his lips to recall for a while, then said: "I did meet an acquaintance. I met Brother Hanzawa. In the sound area, but Brother Hanzawa seemed to have encountered something and didn't want to talk to me. And he seemed to be pretending not to know me?"

"Pretending not to know you?"

Hattori Heiji's expression twitched and he couldn't understand what his son described.

His son is usually the one who sticks closest to Naoki - his dream of becoming a basketball player was also inspired by Naoki.

Now Naoki pretends not to know his son!

Could it be that Naoki framed his own son? Was he deliberately torturing his own son?

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but shake his head again when he thought of this - Hanzawa Naoki had just helped him out the day before yesterday, so there was no reason or motive for him to mess with him!

"What's the specific situation? Tell me in detail." Hattori decided to ask in detail.

"My brother was holding a drawing board, drawing paper and some reference books, and he seemed to be following a pretty sister. The sister had short blue hair and was very cute. She was wearing the school uniform of Yingde College."

"Pretty sister? Short blue hair."

After listening to his son's description, Hattori Heiji's policeman instinct kicked in - he now had to doubt whether Hanzawa was still a pervert who was stalking him.

At this time, the store manager received a call. As he was talking on the phone, his expression became more and more surprised. After hanging up the phone, he said to Hattori Heiji and others: "The police want to know about your son."

Hattori's heart sank. Could it be that someone other than the store manager had called the police?

But that was not the case. The store manager told him that an injury had occurred nearby and the police were investigating the incident and wanted to ask his son about it. Moreover, the injury seemed to be related to the theft.

Chapter 29 Rem

Chapter 29 29. Rem

"What's going on?" Hattori Heiji asked, and the store manager tilted his head in confusion. He still couldn't digest the anger he felt a moment ago.

Hattori Heiji and his group were somewhat confused about the situation.

After waiting for a while, the criminal police from the local police station finally showed up and explained the situation.

The police did not know Hattori Heiji. After listening to the store manager and Hattori's explanation of the theft and riot, they began to tell everyone what they had learned.

"I see, that makes sense. Naoki is in my debt again. This kid is really something. If he did a good deed, he should give me a call."

After hearing the whole story, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but sigh.

The police who arrived told him that the incident started when a young girl was surrounded and beaten by three young men on the sidewalk 50 meters away from the store.

The witnesses immediately called the police, so the police were dispatched.

However, when the police arrived, the three young men had fallen to the ground, two of them were unconscious, and one had his hands and feet tied.

The besieged girl was still there, with only a minor injury to her arm. There was also a young boy with her.

The teenager told the police that the girl was indeed surrounded and he knocked out two of the young men after seeing them attacking her.

As for the boy whose hands and feet were tied, the girl subdued him herself.

The boy also told the police that one of them was called Hanazawa Rem and the other was called Hanzawa Naoki. The two did not know each other but met each other because they saw a theft together. They also said that at this moment there should be a boy suspected of stealing in a nearby stationery store. The boy was innocent and his name was Hattori Conan.

They all saw the two young men who ran away steal the merchandise and put it into Conan's handbag.

The girl felt something was wrong and followed the two young men out of the store. On the way, she warned them to go to the store and apologize. One of the young men got angry and beat the girl. In the end, she was thrown to the ground. The girl's counterattack attracted the third young man to join the fight. Seeing that the three were outnumbered, the young man finally helped the girl to knock out the other two with violence.

"So," the policeman looked at Conan and said with a smile, "the child did not steal. The girl is now in the hospital recovering from her injuries. The boy went home, and you should know that boy. The boy said that he was a little angry at the time and thought you had become a thief. But after careful observation, he found that you and that group of people were not accomplices.

Because when the alarm went off while you were leaving the store with your handbag, the two people were hiding in the store. They did not make any eye contact with you and chose to walk out as if nothing had happened. From this, it can be judged that you are not accomplices. "

"He wanted to tell the store manager about this. But at that time, the girl from the audio department chased after them. She even stopped the two young men on the street."

"The subdued young people have confessed that they wanted to confirm whether the anti-theft tag wrapped in aluminum foil was effective, so they threw the goods into Conan's bag who happened to be next to them. If the child successfully walked out of the stationery store, they planned to threaten Conan to take the goods back. But because the alarm sounded, they walked out as if it had nothing to do with them. In the end, they were stopped by a strange girl and ordered to go back to the store to apologize..."

With the police's statement, a major reversal appeared before the Hattori family.

Hattori Conan did not feel happy, but looked stunned, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.

Kogoro Mori seemed very excited and held his grandson tightly.

The store manager touched his head in confusion, looking a little upset.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Conan finally regained his freedom. He immediately expressed his desire to thank the girl and Hanzawa in person.

Hattori Heiji had no objection, considering that the girl who saved Conan was also injured.

After they learned the girl's home address from the patrolman, they immediately decided to go and express their gratitude first.

In the transcript, the girl filled in her own address as well as her parents' names and phone numbers.

When Hattori Heiji saw that the girl's father was Hanazawa Rui and her mother was Hanazawa Sugihara, he immediately shook his head with a wry smile.

Who is Hanazawa Rui? How could he not know him?

He is now the person in charge and CEO of Huaze Group.

When he was young, he was the prototype of the second male lead in Akimoto Saiga's "Boys Over Flowers".

Unlike the Domyoji family, which has already declined, the Hanazawa family has been a partner with Lady Akimoto from the beginning.

I heard that Hanazawa Rui's wife was married with the help of Mrs. Akimoto.

Now the little princess has been injured while saving her son. It is really hard to repay this favor.

For no reason, he thought of Kindaichi who worked in the Second Investigation Section, and had already thought about whether he should ask him to give the Hanazawa family some convenience.

This time we have to thank the girl named Rem.

If it were someone else, they would probably just turn around and leave out of fear of getting into trouble. Even someone with a backbone would just explain the truth to the store owner. Few people would catch the real thief.

But then again, Naoki is not ordinary. He saved a girl for the second time in three days. His efficiency is amazing!

…………

…………

Is Hanzawa Naoki a good man who is brave enough to do what is right?

Of course the answer is not!

How could he, who is no longer young and frivolous, save a stranger?

In fact, the whole thing started with a girl.

At that time, Hanzawa wanted to go into a stationery store to buy painting supplies, but soon after he entered the store, he saw a girl who made his heart beat slightly.

The girl was wearing a plain dress that looked like a school uniform. Her light blue eyes were as bright as stars, and she had an oval face and flowing short blue hair that swayed as she walked. It was hard not to attract attention.

For a moment, Hanze couldn't move his eyes away.

He was amazed that there was such a beautiful Rem cosplayer in the world.

On second thought, Hanzawa felt something was wrong again - it was now 2011, and it would be at least four years before the release of "re;0". If that was the case, how could there be a cosplayer for Rem?

Doesn't that mean... this girl is most likely the incarnation of Rem in this world?

Hanzawa didn't want to continue guessing - his instinct prompted him to strike up a conversation with the girl and find out about her situation.

The character of Rem is his favorite character in his two-dimensional viewing journey! No doubt about it!

He liked her not only because of her pleasing appearance, but also because everything this character did in the original work shocked him from the bottom of his soul at that time.

I vaguely remember that when the animation reached the eighth episode, Hanzawa had already been in society for five years.

At that time, he was still working as an original artist, working overtime day and night to finish the manuscript.

Since I don’t have a girlfriend, the only way to relax myself is to play games and watch anime occasionally.

After watching "re:0", he started to collect all kinds of Rem figures crazily!

Seeing this, people who have not watched the animation may ask.

What's so good about Rem? Isn't Emilia the heroine of this drama? Why collect a supporting character's figurine?

In fact, anyone who has watched the animation will understand why Hanzawa was so crazy at that time.
