The next day, in the afternoon.

Conan is still in school today, and the people of Tokyo have not suffered for the time being.

Lin Xinyi, who had nothing to do, skipped work early as usual and hurried back to study and recharge.

When he walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department building, Xiao Ai's phone just called.

"Oh... Have you borrowed that professional book from the library? ”

"Okay, then you can cook now, I'll go straight over."

"Hmm... Okay, I'm not going to go home today, we'll study slowly in the evening. ”

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Lin Xinyi said in an unconscious warm tone on his mobile phone.

Suddenly, he noticed footsteps behind him.

The footsteps were not close or far, always behind him, maintaining a very subtle fixed distance.

As soon as Lin Xinyi quickened his pace slightly, the footsteps became rapid and dense.

The other man was obviously following him, but he was very close - it seemed that the guy had no intention of hiding his presence.

Lin Xinyi immediately hung up the phone and turned his head to look at the mysterious stalker:

"You're you again?!"

He saw the handsome black-skinned guy he got rid of yesterday, Hattori Heiji.

"Forest Officer." Heiji Hattori stuck up like a piece of kraft candy, but this time, there was a little less arrogance in his tone: "Your reasoning skills are indeed impressive. ”

"In yesterday's encounter, I lost a lot."

Lin Xinyi: "??? ”

He was silent for a while, and then he didn't answer, but just opened his throat and shouted:

"Security, what about security?"

"Hey, wait!" Hattori Heiji hurriedly grabbed Lin Shinichi.

He pointed to the Metropolitan Police Department building behind him and said, "Officer Lin, this time I was waiting for you outside the building, but I didn't 'sneak' into the Metropolitan Police Department building!" ”

"......" Lin Xin had nothing to say, so he could only send a disgusted look at this annoying guy: "Enough, Mr. Hattori." ”

"Don't think that your father is a police inspector, so he can run around unscrupulously to interfere with the normal work of our Metropolitan Police Department."

When he went to work today, Lin Xinyi specially asked those police officers why he released Hattori so quickly yesterday.

The answer is that this kid is just like his skin color, and his life is too expensive to provoke.

But ordinary police officers didn't dare to mess with it, but Lin Xinyi dared.

Because he is a temporary worker.

If something happens, it's a big deal to be fired, anyway, he was forced to be a police officer because of the organization's tasks, and he didn't care at all.

Therefore, Lin Xinyi now seems to be quite righteous and awe-inspiring, and he has the courage to break his eyebrows and bend his waist to do things with power:

"Hattori Heiji, this is the Metropolitan Police Department, not your Osaka Prefecture."

"As long as the identification class is still in charge of me Lin Xinyi, you children of the family don't want to come here to spread wild!"

"I..."Hattori Heiji was so scared that his face was red.

Especially in the eyes of passers-by, when he pointed at him with the gaze of the onlookers Tianlong, he couldn't raise his head even more:

"Say what..."

"This has nothing to do with my dad!"

He tried his best to put aside his personal achievements and family background:

"I'm a detective who is recognized for his strength, don't think of me as a good-for-nothing fool!"

"Yes... Administrator Hayashi, didn't you once face off against that Kudo Shinichi? ”

"I forgot to say when I made the introduction yesterday:"

"Actually, I'm called 'Kansai's Hattori', and Kudo is called 'Kanto's Kudo' - I'm an existence on the same level as that Kudo Shinichi, and my strength will definitely not be worse than him!"

Heiji Hattori also thought that Lin Shinichi was questioning his gold content as a detective because of his identity as an official N generation.

So he simply showed his name as "Suit Department", wanting Lin Shinichi to know that his level was definitely not below Kudo Shinichi, and he was an opponent worth fighting.

And when Lin Xinyi heard this, his face really changed:

"You... Are you really about the same as Shinichi Kudo? ”

"That's it!" Hattori Heiji said proudly, "In terms of the number and quality of cases solved, we are comparable!" ”

"This..."Lin Xinyi was in awe when he heard this.

He immediately took Hattori Heiji's hand and said solemnly:

"I'll lose this time, so please hurry back to Osaka!"

"Tokyo really can't afford a second detective."

The last detective was finally sealed by the school for two days, and another one came out, and he didn't have to get off work.

"Officer Lin..."

Although he didn't understand it a little, Hattori Heiji still heard the disgust in Lin Xin's words.

"It seems that you still don't believe in my strength as a detective!"

"So be it..."

He didn't dwell on it anymore, but took the initiative to retreat and distance himself:

"Yesterday's game, we'll continue to do it today."

"If I win today, you promise to fight me once, how about it?"

"Huh?" Lin Xinyi was confused when he heard it.

But Heiji Hattori had already accepted this little challenge by default.

He waved his hand, smiled a sunny and confident smile, turned and left alone.

"Inexplicable..."

Lin Xinyi stayed where he was, only confused in his eyes.

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

Soon after, the Maori Detective Agency.

Hattori Heiji took a taxi and arrived here as fast as he could.

As soon as he got out of the car, he walked up to the second floor and knocked on the door of the Maori office.

It was Mao Lilan who came to open the door, and when she saw this strange black-skinned young man, she asked politely:

"Sir, are you here to give the commission?"

"Nope." Heiji Hattori shook his head.

He didn't say much to explain, but passed by Maoriran and walked straight into the house.

When I looked closely, there were two men in the room, one big and one small:

Mori Kogoro, who drinks and watches TV on the sofa, and Conan, who has just come home from school and is still carrying a schoolbag and sneezing.

As soon as they saw Hattori Heiji coming in, they couldn't help but cast curious and puzzled glances.

And Hattori Heiji remained silent and did not respond.

He just quietly observed everything in the room, and finally locked his eyes on the kitchen.

After smelling the faint aroma of steamed rice wafting from the kitchen, his pupils suddenly had a little more confidence in his pupils.

"That—" Maolilan followed.

In the face of Hattori Heiji, who broke into the room without saying a word, her tone became a little subtle:

"Who the hell are you?"

"Haha."

Hattori took off the cap on his head, smiled at Mao Lilan, and introduced himself:

"I'm Heiji Hattori, a high school detective from Osaka."

"You may have heard the saying 'Higashi Kudo, Western Hattori', and I am the 'Kansai Hattori'."

He seemed to realize that the name Hattori Heiji didn't work well in Tokyo, so he simply opened his mouth and pulled Kudo Shinichi as a reference.

"The same name as Shinichi..."

"High School Detective?!"

Mao Lilan was slightly stunned, and looked at Hattori Heiji's gaze a little strange:

Truly... Although this guy looks a little darker, in terms of temperament, he is very similar to Kudo Shinichi.

Their eyes are so sharp, and they are always full of confidence.

"But... High school detective, what are you doing here?! ”

Mori Kogoro looked at this uninvited colleague with dissatisfaction.

He looked at Hattori Heiji with a hint of vigilance, and Conan, who was sneezing on the side, also looked curiously at the young man who claimed to be a "high school detective" like himself.

And Hattori Heiji was very familiar with finding a place to sit down by himself:

"Actually, I'm not here to find you."

"I'm here to wait for Mr. Lin Xinyi."

"Huh??" Everyone was stunned.

Mao Lilan looked at it even more confused:

"What are you waiting for Mr. Lin Xinyi to do at my house?"

"Haha..."

Hattori Heiji smiled proudly:

"Because I have already deduced that Mr. Lin Xinyi will be here today."

"So I took a taxi ahead of him and waited for him to show up."

“？？？” Maolilan had a question mark on his face:

Lin Xinyi is coming here today, why doesn't she know?

Seeing her puzzled gaze, Hattori Heiji thought that everyone was shocked by his ability to "predict the unknown".

So, he told himself about his reasoning process:

"When I met Mr. Lin Xinyi in front of the Metropolitan Police Department building, I happened to hear him on the phone."

"I didn't hear all the conversations, but I could deduce from the three sentences I heard:"

"One, he doesn't go home today, but eats and stays overnight at the house of the person who talked to him."

"It shows that he has a very close relationship with the person on the phone."

"And the caller will help him prepare dinner, and the gender will probably be female."

"Two, what 'professional book' he wants to study with that person at night."

"This shows that that person is not only close to Lin Xinyi, but also has something to do with him in professional learning."

"In addition, when Lin Xinyi called, the corners of his mouth naturally rose, and his tone was warm and warm, which was completely different from when he usually talked to colleagues."

"It's like you're talking to your lover on the phone."

After some analysis, Hattori Heiji's eyes flashed with wisdom:

"Obviously, the person Lin Xinyi wants to see today:"

"It can only be that since you are a student of his, you will study professional books with him."

"I have a close relationship with him, and I will prepare dinner for him and let him stay overnight..."

"Miss Maolilan, you!"

Hattori Heiji confidently said the answer.

However, there is actually a very important point that he did not say.

That is, in the past two days, when he quietly investigated as a disciple of Lin Xinyi, he was also a well-known "beautiful girl forensic doctor" Mao Lilan in Tokyo...

Heiji Hattori happened to find out from an insider named "Suzuki Sonoko" that Miss Moriran seemed to have a close relationship with Mr. Shinichi Hayashi.

It's just that Xiaolan herself is thin-skinned and considers her best friend's feelings, so she doesn't admit this "open secret" that has actually been widely circulated in society.

And with the highly credible and powerful intelligence provided by this insider...

Heiji Hattori had long determined that Mao Lilan was Lin Shinichi's girlfriend.

In this case, the caller who chatted intimately with Lin Xinyi on the phone could only be Mao Lilan.

Strictly speaking, this is not reasoning, but only the most basic intelligence gathering ability.

It's just that telling the truth is a bit ruinous and not conducive to showing your wisdom as a detective.

In addition, the "informant" Miss Suzuki also specially instructed him not to let Xiaolan know that she already knew what Xiaolan didn't want her to know.

So Heiji Hattori hid this important argument and didn't mention it, but gave the answer directly:

"The place where Lin Xinyi is coming today is here!"

"Count the time difference between the taxi and the subway, minus the time we just chatted."

"I think he'll be there in five minutes at most."

Hattori's voice was confident, but what he ushered in was...

There was an eerie silence.

In the silence, Mao Lilan said a little uncontrollably:

"Are you really on the same level as Shinichi?"

"I feel like your level of reasoning is like..."

She was embarrassed to say such harsh words, but Conan unceremoniously helped her make up a roll of her eyes:

"It doesn't seem like it's going to work!"
