Pretend To Be a Good Person In the World of Conan - Chapter 428
For a second or two, Shiraishi wanted to slam the door shut, pretending that nothing had happened, but fortunately he didn’t get up, and he didn’t fall asleep at this time, clearly remembering his personality.
He quickly showed a friendly smile and followed Hattori Heiji’s greeting and said, “What a coincidence.”
…
Hattori Heiji didn’t come to find Shiraishi, he mainly wanted to find two peers, Kudo Shinichi and Maurilan.
But when I was going upstairs, I passed by the back door of Shiraishi’s house, Hattori thought about it, he’s here, he should say hello to Shiraishi, anyway, it was a friendship that solved the case together, so he wanted to knock on the door and invite Shiraishi to go out with him. Play.
Hattori Heiji thought before that Kudo Shinichi has a talent for encountering strange cases, and many murderers in Tokyo are more demons than those in Osaka.
However, when the two discussed the matter privately, Kudo insisted that it was Shiraishi’s fault.
Hattori Heiji was also taken a little by him, and it was impossible to determine who it was, but there was a solution – as long as the two of them were taken out together, they would definitely find interesting cases.
“My mother’s friend’s son is getting married recently. My mother wanted to attend the ceremony, but a few days ago, she was smashed by a grilled takoyaki and broke her toe, so I came.”
Saying that, Hattori Heiji pointed to Yuanshan Kazuo next to him again: “She insisted on following—oh, yes, you haven’t seen her yet, her name is Yuanshan Kazuo, her father…”
Hattori Heiji originally wanted to use the description “her father is my father’s subordinate” to briefly summarize the relationship between the two.
But before that, Yuan Shan and Ye interjected with not very good-looking faces: “I am his childhood sweetheart. I have been in the same class since childhood, and the relationship is very good!”
When she said this, she looked straight at Mao Lilan, who had just come downstairs, and seemed to regard this beautiful high school girl as a rival in love.
Both Maurilan and Conan sensed her hostility.
Hattori Heiji didn’t notice it at all, and he habitually replied: “Whoever has a particularly good relationship with you is obviously the one who came with you.”
Yuan Shan and Ye’s faces were the color of lotus leaves with anger.
Hattori Heiji still didn’t notice, after he briefly introduced Toyama and Ye, he went back to the main topic:
“I have to give them a wedding gift this afternoon.” He pointed to the gift bag hanging in the corner of the chair. In addition to the gift, there was an envelope with the words “Forest Garden” vaguely visible on it.
Then he withdrew his hand and invited him with anticipation: “Let’s just play casually together in the morning, He Ye has always wanted to go to Shibuya to buy clothes, I think there are always interesting cases next to you, there are so many people in Shibuya, if you encounter Now, how can we play to solve the case?”
When Mao Lilan heard “buy clothes”, his eyes lit up.
Hearing the next half sentence, he slowly degenerated into dead fish eyes, and his interest greatly diminished.
Came here for this…
Hattori Heiji always did what he said. When he planned the itinerary verbally, he had already stood up and looked at the spacious cafe in Shiraishi: “Let’s go, let’s leave your luggage first? We’ll come back later and pick it up. .”
Shiraishi nodded.
With butterflies, this is indeed the safest luggage storage place.
I just hope that there is nothing too smelly in the luggage of Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha. Although Shiraishi has installed a lot of air purifiers and range hoods in the cafe, some smells from Butterfly Ninja are still very stubborn…
…
Shiraishi actually wanted to rest at home today.
It’s a pity that when Heiji Hattori came, the mission jumped out unequivocally, and the marriage ceremony and the words “Forest Garden” also reminded Shiraishi of a certain case.
He originally thought that he would spend a day on this Osaka Death God today.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he got to the door, the postman happened to be riding a small motorcycle passing by. He turned his head and recognized the owner of the cafe, and gave the letter directly to Shiraishi.
As soon as Shiraishi touched the envelope, he heard another ding-dong in his ear.
…two missions?
He changed his steps, unfolded the letter and read it, the content was very concise—
[Help, the mermaid wants to kill me! 】
“…”
Staring at the letter, Shiraishi couldn’t help thinking of the experience of being recognized by the students in the haunted house at the campus festival a few days ago.
After a few beats, he realized that due to the cooperation between Xinmei Kabori and Kimura Tatsuya, he seemed to have taken a shortcut and became a little-known detective… At least among the new name Kabori’s book fans, and Kimura Tatsuya’s fans Room, probably so.
Below the distress message, a string of phone numbers was attached, and the other party hoped that Shiraishi would contact her as soon as possible after receiving the letter.
Shiraishi flipped through the envelope and saw that the sender’s place read “Menri Saori”.
When he saw “Mermaid”, Shiraishi knew which case it was.
It is not uncommon for two tasks to hang in the taskbar at the same time – let alone two, it is possible for three or four tasks to appear at the same time when busy.
But when Shiraishi unfolded the screen and looked at the start times of the two tasks, he felt that he was not a good time management master. One of the two tasks was this afternoon~www.mtlnovel.com~ and the other was this evening.
It seemed to be arranged.
But the problem is that although Mermaid Island is also in Honshu, it is very far from Tokyo, almost across the east and west sides. It is impossible to get to Mermaid Island in the evening after finishing the case here in the afternoon.
In order to successfully complete the task, you have to make good use of tools…or tool people.
Three high school students and a fake child walked out for a few meters and found that one person was missing.
They turned around and found Shiraishi parked in front of the store, looking at the letter in his hand with a serious expression.
Hattori Heiji froze for a moment, and then his eyes lit up—he suspected that Shiraishi had received a commission, and for a while he didn’t care about shopping in the street, so he ran back quickly.
However, before he could see the contents of the letter, he suddenly saw the person on the opposite side sigh and put the letter away.
“What’s the matter?” Hattori Heiji followed Shiraishi’s hand.
Yuan Shan and Ye raised their elbows and nudged him: “That’s someone’s personal privacy.” What case to solve, come shopping!
Shiraishi shook his head and turned back to the cafe. He walked through the door behind the counter and randomly found a folder from the back room and held it in his hand.
Then he went back to the cafe, looked at the person who followed up consciously, and asked Hattori Heiji: “Are you going to the Moriyuan family’s wedding this afternoon? I just saw the exposed envelope.”
“Yeah.” Hattori Heiji didn’t know what the wedding had to do with the case. Hearing that Shiraishi’s tone was not right, he wondered, “What happened to them?”
“The relationship between their families is a bit strange. Someone asked me to investigate before, and then I found out the results…” Shiraishi dragged out a chair and sat down, put the folder on his lap, and said worriedly, “I feel very bad, you guys Understand.”
