Chapter 267: Mysterious Stalker

Heiji Hattori reluctantly accepts the cruel reality that he lost to Tokyo elementary school students.

And Officer Sakata, who took the initiative to provoke before, has long since lost his voice.

He sat quietly in the driver's seat, listening carefully to the analysis and reasoning of Lin Xinyi and others, and his expression was a little complicated.

"Officer Sakata?"

Hattori patted him on the shoulder and persuaded:

"Don't worry too much... As you can see, Mr. Lin does deserve the title of 'expert'. ā€

"It's not a shame for Osaka to ask him to come over to guide the case."

"Uh... Yes, yes..."Yusuke Sakata reacted as if he had just woken up from a dream.

He turned his head, his expression changed from rejection at the beginning to shame, and officially apologized to Lin Xinyi:

"Supervisor Lin, I'm sorry."

"It's me who looks at people with a narrow view of the door, and my emotions are too extreme."

"It's okay." The other party has already taken the initiative to apologize, and Lin Xinyi will not naively hold on to this small contradiction.

He lightly forgave Officer Sakata, and then said straight to him:

"Officer Sakata, let's drive, let's go to the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters first."

"Now go to work at the prefectural police headquarters?" Yusuke Sakata was slightly stunned: "But, Mr. Lin, you haven't eaten lunch yet." ā€

"Just take care of lunch."

"Now that there has been a breakthrough in the case, it is better for us to hurry up and start an investigation."

Lin Xinyi said casually to Yusuke Sakata:

"Officer Sakata, you are a criminal police officer of the Tojiri Branch, and your work is probably not easy, so it should be inconvenient to come to us as a driver and tour guide all the time."

"When we are sent to the prefectural police headquarters, you can go back to work at the Tojiri branch office!"

He kindly relieved this meaningless social pressure for Officer Sakata, but Officer Sakata seemed unwilling to appreciate it:

"This.... Supervisor Lin, did my rude just make you angry? ā€

"My job today is to entertain you well, don't rush me away."

Officer Sakata said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Saying that, he also deliberately put on an enthusiastic look:

"Actually, Managing Officer Lin, you don't have to be in such a hurry."

"Just make a phone call to investigate the driver's license and let my colleagues at the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters take care of it."

"You're in a hurry to go to the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters now, I'm afraid you won't be able to help."

"So, why don't you relax a little bit and follow me and Heiji to taste some Osaka food."

"When my colleagues from the government police headquarters investigate the results of the investigation on their driver's licenses, it's not too late to get back to work."

Yusuke Sakata has a point.

The time-consuming and laborious work of investigating the deceased's driver's license and finding out the social connections had to be left to the grassroots police officers.

Before the results of the investigation came out, there was no new development in the case, and even if Lin Xinyi went, most of the time he could not help.

Instead of rushing over to the past in a daze, it is better to take your "children" and "girlfriends" to eat and drink at Osaka's public expense and enjoy them in advance.

"yes."

Heiji Hattori, as the host, also very much agreed with this proposal:

"Just leave the investigation of the driver's license to the Osaka Prefectural Police."

"I'll take everyone to eat some Osaka food first, and by the way, I will finish my lunch without delaying work."

Heiji Hattori is enthusiastic about taking everyone to taste the food of his hometown.

And Officer Sakata also sang and agreed:

"Our Osaka food is famous."

"I happen to know an authentic Kansai okoyaki, so I can take you to try it."

The other party was really gracious, Lin Xinyi thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement:

"Okay, then let's go eat first!"

............................

Soon after, everyone drove to a snack bar recommended by Officer Sakata.

Officer Sakata was busy looking for a place to park, while the rest of the people unconsciously split into two groups and sat down at the counter to eat.

Heiji Hattori warmly entertained Miss Maori, who had the best relationship with him, while Conan sat between them with a dark face.

The other group of people has a similar configuration, but the one who is stuck between Lin Xinyi and Belmode with a black face is the little Miss Gray Plains who tries her best to stay away from Belmode, but has never been able to get rid of it.

"Little Sorrow~"

Belmode seems to have awakened to some bad hobby.

She deliberately played the role of a gentle and considerate big sister in front of people, and used chopsticks to pick up a small piece of Okonomiyaki dough, and blew it cold and sent it to Gray Yuanai's mouth:

"Ah~ open your mouth."

It's like feeding a home-fed kitten, Belmode's expression is very doting.

In this regard, Gray Yuan's response is only one sentence:

"Old woman."

She squinted her eyes and threw a cold little white eye:

"Have you had enough?!"

"Yes..."Lin Xinyi also whispered: "Teacher, don't tease people like this anymore." ā€

"You're on the way..."

Along the way, Belmode completely treats Gray Plains as a playful doll.

Not only did she forcibly hold the angry Miss Gray Plains in her arms, but she also wantonly played with the soft brown hair of the "little doll" like a naughty girl.

By the time he got out of the police car, Gray Yuanai's hair was as messy as a chicken coop.

And that gloomy little face didn't have time to clear up, and Belmode began to tease her unscrupulously again.

"I'm not kidding her."

In the face of Gray Yuan's accusation and Lin Xinyi's persuasion, Belmode's expression instantly became serious:

"Gray Plains kid, you'd better act like a real kid now."

"Otherwise, it would be a big problem for the person who was following us to see that something was wrong."

"Follow, the people who follow us?"

Lin Xinyi and Gray Yuan couldn't help but be surprised.

But they quickly controlled their expressions, lowered their voices, and turned their questioning gaze to Belmode:

"Teacher, you're saying that someone is following us?"

Lin Xinyi asked with a solemn expression.

Gray Yuan's questioning is more direct and very polite:

"Old woman, you're acting again, aren't you?"

"I've been fooled once, I won't be tricked again!"

Yesterday she was bluffed by Belmode, and she almost didn't give up her boyfriend.

Today, this bad woman still wants to tease her, and she will never be easily tricked.

"I'm serious."

Belmode frowned slightly.

There was a touch of solemnity in the water-green pupils that could not be dissolved.

Looking at such a pair of eyes full of heaviness and seriousness, even if Tiexin felt that this woman was fooling her gray plain mourning, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"On our way in the police car, I noticed that there was a taxi following closely behind."

"When we got off the bus in front of this snack bar, the taxi also happened to stop a few dozen meters behind us."

"And the stalker who got out of the car..."

"She's sitting in this snack bar right now, right behind us."

"This..."Lin Xin wanted to look back.

But Belmode grabbed him with a serious look:

"Don't look back, it's just going to let people know you've found him."

"Really..."

"How did you forget what I taught you about anti-tracking?"

Belmode sighed helplessly.

As she spoke, she took a glass from the counter, adjusted the angle slightly, and asked Lin Xinyi and Gray Yuan Ai to carefully observe the reflection on the glass.

The reflection on the cup is blurry, but it is still faintly visible:

In the corner sat a mysterious man wearing a baseball cap and a long ponytail.

Judging by her figure, dress, and hairstyle, she should be a woman.

She hid her cheek under the broad brim of her hat, and every now and then, sneakily peeping over the counter.

"......." Lin Xinyi was silent for a while, and his eyes became solemn: "Who is following us?" Gin sent? ā€

"I'm not sure either..."

"But Gin is suspicious, and he might really send someone else to spy on you."

Belmode's tone was very serious:

"So, we must not show a flaw."

"Especially the 'Gray Plains Kids'.... From an 'actor's point of view, you're really good at acting right now. ā€

"Elementary school students should be like elementary school students."

"You have always acted like an adult, and you always appear by Lin Xinyi's side, aren't you afraid of being noticed by the guy who is following and spying on you?"

"I—" Gray Yuan hesitated.

"Humph!" Belmode snorted coldly and asked rhetorically, "Do you think I really like to tease you that much?" ā€

"I do these shows just to make you look more like a real child."

"So, please try to be a little more cooperative..."

She turned her face sideways, and the seriousness on her face instantly changed to doting and loving children.

At the same time, Belmode also picked up a diced meat with chopsticks again and gently sent it to Miss Gray Yuan's mouth:

"Ah~ open your mouth."

"Hmm...."Gray Yuan mourned for a while.

But thinking of the safety of herself and Lin Xinyi, she still begged for everything, and reluctantly, opened her little mouth under the teasing of Belmode.

"Ahh

While chewing lightly in his mouth, he forced himself to smile at the bad woman:

"Thank you, Sister Chris~"

"That's good." Belmode happily pinched Ashara's soft little face.

Admiring the puffy and sweet expression of Miss Gray Yuan, she seemed to be addicted to feeding, and then helped to clip a chopstick dish.

"......." Gray Yuan was silent for a while, and finally reluctantly opened his mouth.

It's just that this time, when she ate the food, she didn't forget to bite the chopsticks viciously to vent her dissatisfaction.

But Belmode didn't stop there.

She repeated the old trick and handed the chopsticks to Gray Yuanai's mouth.

"Are you finished?!"

Gray Yuan finally sensed that something was wrong.

"Hahahaha..."

Belmode chuckled, laughing a little too much to straighten his waist:

"I'm sorry... The way you reluctantly open your mouth is so cute. ā€

"My cold little kitten."

She even gave Gray Plains a bad nickname.

Gray Plains: "......"

"Bastard!!"

"You're really lying again!!"

Miss Graybara's face was swollen.

If it weren't for Lin Xinyi pressing her little shoulders in time and stopping her...

She estimated that she could pounce on Belmode like a face-hugging worm.

"I'm not lying..."

Belmode's expression was very innocent:

"Isn't the person who is following you sitting there? I didn't make it up. ā€

"You?!" Ash Yuan was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"It's just..."

Belmode winked at Gray Plains, his smile full of pride:

"That guy is definitely not from the organization, and it can't be Gin's subordinate."

"Because of her tracking technology... It sucks. ā€
