Chapter 523 1 mouth 1 title
As the protagonist and one of the second male characters in the world of science fiction, it was obviously impossible for a mere gang of thieves to threaten Conan and Hattori Heiji. When the two came back, they were not injured at all except for being a little dirty.
Yuya looked at Hattori Heiji's scratched motorcycle and raised an eyebrow: "It seems that the people who attacked you have escaped?"
Hattori Heiji was stunned: "How did you know we were attacked?" He immediately thought of the arrow that missed the target, and shook his head in realization, "No, he escaped."
"But in my opinion, that guy should be the murderer who killed the members of the Source Cocoon."
"In that case, it's getting late, let's go back for now."
Hattori Heiji nodded and asked casually, "Did you find anything up there?"
Yuya was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "Nothing special."
Hattori Heiji didn't care either.
When everyone returned to Sannoji Temple, they happened to meet Mori Ran, Suzuki Sonoko and Toyama Kazuha who were preparing to go out.
Mao Lilan was very surprised: "Hattori? Why are you with Conan?"
Turning around, he saw Yuya, Miyano Shiho, and Hondou Eisuke, and was even more surprised: "Why are you guys here too?"
Hattori Heiji smiled, rubbed Conan's head and said: "I happened to meet this kid on the road, so I wanted to help him decipher the code."
Yuya smiled and said, "Me too."
Mao Li Ran was even more confused. It was okay for Conan to meet Hattori Heiji, as Kyoto was a place he often visited, but meeting Yuya... Tokyo is very far away from here, right?
She recalled the call she received in the morning and suddenly said, "Yuya, are you and Mio here to play? But why is Hondou-san here too?"
Hondou Eisuke didn't know how to explain, so he could only look at Yuya for help.
Youye smiled and said, "I just happened to meet this guy on the way, so I brought him here."
Mao Lilan: No, isn’t it just a coincidence today? How come we bump into each other everywhere?
Suzuki Sonoko asked with his eyes half closed: "Since you two detectives and the kid who likes to play detective have come together, have you figured out the code?"
Hattori Heiji looked up at the sky in embarrassment: "Not yet, that code seems a bit difficult."
Suzuki Sonoko looked at Yuya again: "Yuya, what about you?"
Youye naturally knew the meaning of the code, but at this time he could only pretend not to know and shook his head.
Suzuki Sonoko was very surprised: "Forget Hattori, but you can't even untie Yuya?"
Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched slightly. What do you mean forget it? Am I worse than this guy?
But he didn't understand the code now, so he had no confidence to refute.
Conan laughed dryly and asked, "By the way, has uncle figured it out?" He certainly didn't expect Kogoro Mouri to be able to figure out the code, he just wanted to change the subject.
As soon as she heard the name Mouri Kogoro, Mouri Ran's face suddenly turned ugly.
Conan's eyes widened in confusion.
···
In a tavern somewhere by the river.
Kogoro Mori was drinking and enjoying some music while being treated by a few people.
After the song ended, the performing geisha Chiga Suzu, at the signal of Ryugen of Sannoji Temple, sat next to Kogoro Mori and poured him wine.
Maori Kogoro suddenly became a little carried away and laughed strangely: "This feels like being in heaven, hahahaha!"
"Then don't ever come back!" Mao Lilan's angry voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Maori Kogoro was startled and the wine in his glass spilled out. He looked at his daughter and her friends in panic: "Why are you guys here?"
Suzuki Sonoko chuckled and said, "Of course the host told us."
Maori Kogoro immediately covered his face with his hands, looking very painful. He originally thought it was going to be a wonderful cocktail party, but now...
Long Yuan on the side didn't think too much about it. Instead, he warmly invited everyone to sit down together.
The socialite Suzuki Sonoko sat down without any hesitation, while Mouri Ran sat down next to her old father with a stern face, separating Chiga Suzu from her father, and then stared at him intently.
Mao Li Ran said dissatisfiedly: "Really, you do something wrong when I'm not paying attention." If she had come a little later, Mao Li Kogoro would have probably held the hand of Chiga Suzu, right?
Kogoro Maori covered his face and wailed softly.
Seeing this, Long Yuan quickly advised: "Okay, Miss Xiaolan, don't blame him. We invited Mr. Mao Li to come here just to have a drink and chat."
When they were outside, Mao Lilan would give her father some face and would only blame him when he went too far. Since Long Yuan came out to smooth things over, she didn't say anything more.
He just kept an eye on Kogoro Mouri and didn't let him drink too much. After all, he had been diagnosed with liver disease in the hospital before. It would be terrible if the disease relapsed.
Antique dealer Sakura Masazo echoed, "Yes, yes, we all want to hear how Mr. Maori deduces the case of the source cocoon."
The waitress at the wine shop covered her mouth with her hands and looked a little scared: "I heard that all members of the Minamoto Shiki will carry a copy of the Yoshitsune Ki, is that true?"
Ying Zhengzo nodded: "Yes, I have one too, it's a good book." He turned to look at the other person next to him, "Am I right, the one selling used books?"
The person sitting next to Sakura Shozo was Nishijo Taikawa, who ran a used bookstore. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I don't like that book very much. Although it's called Yoshitsune Ki, it's actually a book about Benkei."
Following this topic, the few of them began to talk about the story between Yoshitsune and Benkei.
After a while, Sakura Masazao suddenly said that he was feeling a little sleepy and wanted to go downstairs to take a nap, and asked the waiter to wake him up at nine o'clock.
Yuya stood up, opened the balcony door and walked outside, stretching himself: "General Mio, come here quickly, the scenery here seems to be quite nice."
Upon hearing this, Miyano Shiho stood up and walked over. Suzuki Sonoko also wanted to go over, but was stopped by Mouri Ran.
Mao Lilan whispered: "Don't go over and disturb them!"
Suzuki Sonoko was about to say something when she saw Yuya and Miyano Shiho leaning against each other. She sat down depressedly, supporting her chin with her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.
Mao Lilan smiled and said, "Sonoko, are you thinking about seeing the scenery with Mr. Zhen?"
Suzuki Sonoko blushed: "No, no, I don't miss him!"
Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Did you think that? You could guess it by looking at Suzuki Sonoko's blushing face.
Suzuki Sonoko was so embarrassed and annoyed: "Okay, you two! Damn it... Xiaolan, don't you want to watch it with Shinichi?"
Mao Lilan's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head hesitantly.
After defeating Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko was not satisfied and turned her attention to Toyama Kazuha: "Kazuha, you too, dare you say you don't want Hattori to see it?"
"Eh?" Toyama Kazuha's face seemed to be thinner than Mao Li Ran's. Her face turned red in an instant and she stammered, "No, don't talk nonsense! There's nothing between me and Heiji..."
Hearing his own name vaguely, Hattori Heiji leaned over in confusion: "Hmm? Are you calling me?"
Yuanshan Heye was stunned, afraid that Hattori Heiji would hear what he said, so he clenched his fists and yelled at him: "I didn't call you!"
Hattori Heiji let out a questioning sound, muttering something, then turned around and continued discussing the secret code with Conan.
Yuanshan and Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and then they looked a little worried as they thought of something.
