Katagiri Feng cried out in joy, pressed his hands on the pendant on his chest, watched Maori leave, and shouted, "Thank you, Detective Maori."

Mao Li waved his hand: "It should be."

……

The next day, because of the Morizono family's affairs, Hattori had no interest in traveling around Tokyo and arrived at Tokyo Station early.

"Although I get involved in events every time I meet you," Hattori said with emotion, "but thank you for your care."

Last night, Kazuha, Ran, and Ai stayed at the Mori Detective Agency, while Hattori and Conan stayed at Dr. Agasa's house. During this time, Conan confessed to Hattori that his true identity was Shinichi Kudo and the Black Organization according to Mori's wishes and his own wishes.

Mao Li nodded slightly, and then thought of Katagiri Kaede and Sakuraba: "It is a blessing in disguise that the two Miss Xiaofeng can be together. It depends on them from now on."

"Yes."

Hattori checked the time and said, "He Ye is really slow, what are you doing?"

"He Ye,"

Mao Li's mouth curled up slightly, "It seems like I went somewhere with Xiaolan..."

"Please spare me, Xiaolan, I'm so embarrassed!" He Ye's voice suddenly came from behind, and everyone was stunned.

"Really? We're already here, what else are you talking about? Go quickly!" Among the crowd at the station, Xiaolan smiled and pushed Kazuha in front of Hattori.

I don't know when Kazuha changed into a straight-striped outfit, exactly the same as Hattori's.

"What's the matter, Kazuha? Are you wearing vertical stripes too?" Hattori asked curiously.

"No," He Ye said anxiously with a red face, "This is Xiaolan's clothes. I don't know why she insisted on me wearing this... I'd better go to the bathroom and change..."

"Wait a minute," Hattori stopped Kazuha who was trying to escape, "I don't mind you wearing this, but in this way..."

"This... like this?" He Ye's heart beat faster.

"It's like we're brothers wearing the same clothes."

"Heh...hehe."

Mao Li leaned against the entrance of the station, and with a twitch in his mouth, he sent Hattori and the other man into the station. It was a pity that he had specially told Xiaolan to change clothes with Kazuha after he found Xiaolan's clothes in the morning. In this way, Hattori and Kazuha looked like they were wearing couple clothes. But in the eyes of Osaka Kuroji, these were brothers' clothes.

Maori had a lot to complain about, but considering that he would be going to Osaka in the future and might need Hattori to receive him, he decided to keep his mouth shut for the time being.

"See you next time,"

After Hattori took Kazuha into the car, he waved to Maori and the others, and then winked at Conan, "I hope I won't be involved in a case again next time."

"You still have the nerve to say..."

Conan and Maori rolled their eyes in unison.

Chapter 75: The handsome netizen you thought was actually a fat crossdresser!

It was the third day after Hattori and his group left Tokyo.

"Hey, you two, are you ready?"

Leaning against the rented car, Mao Li, who had just finished smoking his second cigarette, finally became impatient and shouted upstairs.

"Coming, Dad!"

While locking the door, Xiaolan took Xiaoai, who was wearing a fluffy red dress, and went downstairs. Just like when they went to Osaka before, Xiaoai was still wearing a mask.

"Oh? Is this the prize you won in the shopping district yesterday?"

Maori looked at Ai's new dress and nodded in approval, "Not bad, not bad."

“Isn’t it cute?”

Xiaolan hugged Ai lovingly and rubbed her against her. "Actually, I think there's a pink dress that's also pretty, but I don't think Ai-chan will suddenly accept this color, so I chose this red one."

"Then come on, Xiaolan. Our family is still short of a car, and we're just waiting for you to help me win one in the lottery..."

Mao Li teased, "Okay, get in the car."

Xiaolan took Haibara into the car. Sonoko and Conan were already sitting inside. Conan, like Haibara, was wearing a mask and looked listless and sickly.

"Really,"

As Maori drove into the main road, he glanced at the two girls who were chatting happily behind him and muttered to Conan, "They are going to a party today, why are you joining them? Can't you just rest at home if you have a cold?"

"Ahem, I'm also interested in magic, uncle..."

Conan replied, "Besides, it's not every day that you can come across a gathering of magic fans."

"That's the truth, but..."

Maori rolled his eyes, "Forget about you, little devil. Crimes happen wherever you go."

"Ahem, uncle, you still have the nerve to say that to me,"

Conan rolled his eyes as well, "You are the same, right? And I'm just an elementary school student..."

"What's wrong with elementary school students? Elementary school students are also plague gods! And what I said was just a coincidence... How can the detective's business be called a plague god?"

"Ha ha……"

In the back seat of the car, Xiaolan and the other two looked at Maori and Conan who were arguing in silence.

"They are the same..."

"That is to say..."

Sonoko just performed a little magic trick she had prepared for Xiaolan, and then she suddenly lost interest in Maori and the other two.

"Speaking of which... nothing should happen, right?" Yuanzi laughed dryly, "I told everyone in advance that I would bring a few friends here..."

"The plague god is just a joke, Dad and Conan are both like that," Xiaolan smiled awkwardly and asked, "Are you talking about the magic fans who are going to have a party today?"

Speaking of the party, Yuanzi became excited again: "Yes, I met them all online, they are all netizens."

"I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the famous Suzuki Group would use a computer to make friends."

Maori sighed.

"Please,"

Sonoko rolled her eyes at Maori, "In today's information-based society, the Internet is indispensable. Uncle, you'd better prepare one in your detective agency, otherwise it will be too backward."

"Humph! Do you think a famous detective like me is an old-fashioned person who can't keep up with the times? The office's computer is already being prepared!"

Xiaolan saw Maori's proud look, smiled and looked at Sonoko enviously: "But I'm also a little surprised that you suddenly started surfing the Internet and became fascinated by magic..."

"Because I met a rare person on the Internet."

Yuanzi held her flushed cheeks and fell into intoxication.

"His name is Doi Takeki, he's 21 years old, and he's a regular at the Magic Lovers' League on the website I'm a member of. He's polite, humorous, and very wise, and sometimes he's a domineering male chauvinist..."

"He must be a handsome man with both talent and appearance!"

"Cough cough,"

Conan crossed his arms and complained even though his throat was sore, "I think it might be a fat man."

Sonoko glared at Conan: "You little brat... I won't do that!"

Mao Li continued, "Maybe he's a pervert who likes to dress like a woman... You know, there are all kinds of people on the Internet, and you can't even tell their gender before you meet them in person."

"Ah? Uncle, how did you know I was pretending to be a man?"

"What? You pretended to be a man and communicated with them?"

Xiaolan's reaction was quite big, "Sonoko, you are too bold, aren't you?"

"Yeah, I'm a 40-year-old man online, that's what makes it fun, I'm ready to surprise them!"

"I really admire you..."

……

In the snow-capped mountains, a long suspension bridge connects the cliff. The roof of a villa can be seen in the distance in the snowy coniferous forest. Maori and his party can only walk across the suspension bridge to get to the villa.

"But,"

Xiaolan didn't know much about the Internet, so she asked curiously, "When they saw the name 'Suzuki Sonoko', they should have known that you were a girl, right?"

"No, everyone uses a pseudonym. Mine is The Magician's Apprentice, and Katsuki uses Red Herring. I asked him his real name in the email."

Yuanzi looked very excited and couldn't wait to pull Xiaolan to the villa.

"Isn't it just an online name? I'll call it Gin Falls in Love with Vodka someday..."

Maoli followed behind muttering, and suddenly his nose felt itchy and he sneezed.

"Oh no, could it be that I was infected by you, little brat, Conan?"

"Uncle, you are just wearing too little..."

Conan rolled his eyes and walked past Maori. He felt quite uncomfortable with his blocked nose, but he still followed closely behind Xiaolan.

Huibara was walking at the end, she stopped and looked around in confusion.

The party villa has three floors and is located on the edge of a coniferous forest. It is a very nice resort.

Maori was carrying his luggage and standing by with Xiaolan and a few others, while Sonoko went up alone to knock on the door.

"Hello, I'm here for a party..."

"You are the magician's apprentice, right?"

A middle-aged man in his forties opened the door and said kindly, "We are all waiting for you."

"Ah?" Sonoko wondered, "How do you know I'm a magician's apprentice?"

"Haha, I can tell from your conversation. Anyone can see that you're just a girl pretending to be a man."

“Yeah,” several men and women walked to the door and laughed, “I often laugh secretly in front of the computer.”

"Uh……"

Yuanzi looked back at Maori and the others with a red face, and felt like crawling into the snow.

The group introduced themselves while chatting and laughing. The middle-aged man was the owner of the resort, Ara Yoshinori, 46 years old. There were also two young and beautiful women, 28-year-old Tanaka Takahisa and 25-year-old Kuroda Naoko, and a lively man, 27-year-old Hamano Toshiya.

Only the Doitake tree that Sonoko was expecting did not appear.

"Excuse me," Sonoko asked with concern, "Hasn't Katsuki... the red herring arrived yet?"

"Oh, he's already upstairs."

Da da!

A fat man in a hooded sweatshirt came downstairs and was particularly happy to see everyone and Yuanzi.

"You are the magician's apprentice,"

The fat man said enthusiastically, "I am Doi Takeshu!"

"No way……"

Sonoko's face froze instantly, and she didn't dare to look back at Maori and the others.

"Very good,"

Doi Takeshu smiled and said, "I knew you were a cute girl."

“Uh haha…”

Sonoko was stunned with her mouth twitching. She turned her neck stiffly and found that Maori had been chatting with the beautiful woman Tanaka Takahisa. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

"Hello, we are here together,"

After chatting with Tanaka Takahisa for a few words, Maori looked at the middle-aged man and said, "My daughter and Sonoko are good friends, so they came together... Can we stay here too?"

The middle-aged man was stunned by the uncle: "Uh, of course, we welcome you..."

"That's great! Thank you, thank you!"
