Chapter 264: Regional Contradictions

The next day, at noon, Shin-Osaka Station.

After a two-and-a-half-hour drive, Lin Shinichi took his "girlfriend" and his "child" and stepped off the Shinkansen at Osaka Station.

Mao Lilan also held a "child" in his hand and walked out of the station side by side with Lin Xinyi.

An eye-catching police car is parked outside the station.

Obviously, it was the car used by the Osaka Prefectural Police to receive Lin Shinichi and others.

The person in charge of picking up the car is no stranger to everyone:

"Mr. Hattori, we're meeting again!"

Under Conan's distressed gaze, Mao Liran naturally stepped forward and shook hands cordially with Hattori Heiji.

"Miss Maori, it's great that you're here."

There are friends from afar, and Hattori Heiji is very enthusiastic.

And when he saw Lin Xinyi, he greeted him very politely:

"And Mr. Lin... I didn't have a chance to see you solve the case last time, but this time I'm lucky. ”

"I'm embarrassed to say..."

A hint of shyness appeared on Hattori's swarthy face:

"My dad has to invite you over this time, in fact, a large part of it is because of me."

"When I came back from defeat last week, he advised me to give up my detective career and learn from Mr. Lin to be a technical police officer."

"I was a little unconvinced, and I had a few small quarrels with him at home, but I didn't expect him to invite you directly."

"My dad wants me to follow you to solve the case and see what he said, 'the real power of this policeman'."

"This..."Lin Xinyi was speechless:

In order to educate the children, a management officer was transferred directly from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Is this the power of the Chinese?

Looking at the handsome black guy in front of him, Lin Xinyi's eyes suddenly had a little more look at the Tianlong people.

Like all duplicitous rich second generations, Heiji Hattori obviously doesn't like other people's scrutiny and sighs about his family background.

He immediately changed the topic and continued to greet the people around Lin Xinyi:

"This beautiful lady..."

"It's Miss Chrissy, isn't it?"

Before Belmode could introduce herself, Heiji Hattori recognized Miss Chrissy, who was in the limelight on TV the day before yesterday:

"I know you, you're Managing Officer Lin's girlfriend."

"In the past two days, the little girls in our high school have been discussing the miracle of love created by the two of you!"

"Haha."

"That's a memory for me that I'll never forget."

A sweet smile appeared on the corner of Belmode's mouth, and he naturally grabbed Lin Xinyi's arm, as if he was intoxicated by the sincere love between the two.

The expression of Miss Gray Yuan on the side suddenly became almost the same as Conan's.

One of them glared at Belmode, the other at Heiji Hattori.

There was a twinkle of hostility in his big eyes.

Hattori Heiji looked at Conan, whom he had known before, and then took a closer look at Gray Hara:

"This little young lady..."

looked at the delicate and three-dimensional half-race face of Gray Yuanai, and her soft little hand that seemed to be glued together with Lin Xinyi with 502 glue.

Look at Lin Xinyi again... Holding a mixed-race little Lori in one hand and a big Western beauty in the other.

"Mr. Lin, you and Miss Chrissy..."

"Do you even have a daughter?"

Heiji Hattori asked in shock.

"......." was silent for a while.

"Conan was right."

Miss Gray Plains coldly stood on a united front with Conan:

"You're a third-rate detective..."

"Ahem..."Hattori Heiji retracted his gaze in embarrassment:

No way, the scene just now was too much like Lin Xinyi "taking his wife and daughter" out to travel, and he subconsciously said it.

"Well..."

After getting to know each other, Heiji Hattori pointed to the police car behind him:

"Let's get in the car with me."

"It's noon, I'll take everyone to taste our local food in Osaka first, and then go to work at the police station."

"Hmm." Everyone nodded, and they all got into the car behind Hattori Heiji.

And there was a driver in the police car.

Hattori sat in the passenger seat, and the three adults in the back row each sat in one seat.

The remaining 2 children can only sit on the lap of adults.

"Thisβ€”" Conan subconsciously looked at his little Lan sister.

But the situation is different from before, Sister Xiaolan didn't smile and hold him in her arms this time, but smiled at him and narrowed her eyes:

"Conan, you're a big boy now."

"I can't sit in a girl's arms anymore!"

"Uh... Good, okay. Conan only felt that his swollen face seemed to ache again.

He has now successfully established a relationship with Xiaolan, but he can no longer enjoy the benefits of his big sisters, is it really worth it?

Conan pondered this profound question while casting an inquiring gaze at Lin Shinichi.

"This is my seat."

Miss Gray Plains naturally got into Lin Xinyi's arms and took the position first.

"Thisβ€”" Conan's head was wide for a while.

But Belmode was quick to help him overcome the difficulty of having nowhere to sit:

"Little Wai~" She whispered Gray Plains' nickname in a malicious voice: "Give Conan a place and come to Sister Chrissy's side." ”

"Huh?" Gray Yuan's little face was full of resistance: "No, don't! ”

"Old woman, I don't want you to touch me-"

"Hmm..."

She grabbed Lin Xinyi's clothes and didn't let go, but she was still picked up by Belmode without resistance.

Before he even had time to react, Gray Yuan's little face, which was full of indifference, was inhumanely smothered in Belmode's warm and broad chest.

"Let go, let go... I'm going to be out of breath! ”

Gray Plains gradually gave up the struggle.

Now, the seats in the car are finally properly assigned.

"I'm sorry..."

Hattori Heiji turned around and apologized politely:

"I didn't expect you to come with so many people in advance, so I only prepared a car."

"It's okay..."Lin Xinyi was trying to deal with it politely.

But a discordant voice suddenly sounded from the driver's seat:

"It's not our fault that we can't arrange it, after all, who knew that you would bring your girlfriend and children when you came to handle the case..."

"Is this the attitude of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?"

The voice was snarky, with an undisguised hostility.

And it was the driver-suffeur in the driver's seat, wearing a suit and glasses, who looked polite and amiable.

"You are?"

Lin Xinyi frowned quietly.

Seriously speaking, he took a large group of family members on a business trip, which is indeed a bit unruly.

But the hostility in the other party's words is so strong, I'm afraid it won't be because of this trivial matter.

"Haha... This is our Osaka Prefecture Tojiri Branch, the criminal police officer of the Search Division 1, Officer Yusuke Sakata. ”

"He's been sent to drive you up."

"Sorry, he's talking a little hard today..."

Hattori Heiji embarrassedly played a round for Lin Shinichi:

"Officer Sakata is actually very amiable in normal times."

"This time it's mainly... It's because of the recent newspaper reports. ”

Because "Kansai's Hattori" suffered a fiasco in Tokyo last week to Moriran, who had not been dealing with each other for many years in Osaka, the Tokyo masses, who had been at odds with Osaka all year round, suddenly set off a wave of regional attacks.

And they attacked Hattori's business level alone.

Unfortunately, some of the do-gooders have also invented a series of inequalities:

It is known that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (Lin Shinichi) > Moriran > Hattori Heiji.

In addition, Hattori Heiji's status in Osaka is the same as Kudo Shinichi in Tokyo, and he is also the savior of Police No. 1.

So, Heiji Hattori > Osaka Police.

To sum up, the current Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is much more capable than the Osaka Prefectural Police.

There was already a bit of a regional conflict between the two places, and such remarks gradually appeared in newspapers, television, and the Internet, which made the police officers in Osaka even more unhappy.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the head of the Hattori headquarters in Osaka actually came forward to invite Lin Shinichi from Tokyo, saying that he wanted the police in Osaka to learn from this Lin manager.

How can the police in Osaka be convinced?

"So, please forgive Officer Sakata for his faux pas."

"It was said that we lost to Tokyo, but it was the most unbearable thing for us Osaka people."

Heiji Hattori explained helplessly.

But although he tried to show politeness and humility, there was still a little unconvincing in his words.

"I see..."

Lin Xinyi felt a headache:

"It seems that I am afraid that I will encounter a lot of trouble on this business trip!"

"Don't worry."

"We, the Osaka Prefectural Police, will definitely fully cooperate with the work of the forest management officer, and will not secretly stumble."

The officer Yusuke Sakata's words were slightly softer, but his tone was still sharp:

"I would also like to ask you to use your abilities to the fullest, and let us learn from the advanced concepts of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

"I..."Lin Xinyi's expression was extremely helpless:

You Osaka people are competing with Tokyo people, and I'm a mental foreigner?!

He didn't mean to stand up for Tokyo at all.

But Officer Sakata seemed to be staring at Lin Shinichi and regarded him as the representative of the people of Tokyo:

"The newspapers say that your level of criminal investigation in Tokyo is high."

"In that case, then please ask Managing Officer Lin to show us a little hand!"

As he spoke, while he hadn't driven yet, Officer Sakata also opened the cabinet in front of the passenger seat and took out a thick stack of documents:

"This is all the information that we Osaka Prefectural Police currently have about this serial murder case, which I asked me to bring to you above."

"Time is pressing, please take a look at it now!"

Lin Xin was speechless for a while:

Time is pressing, and I sent you, the driver, and Hattori Heiji, the welcome guest, to come and taste Osaka food?

This guy is obviously not convinced, and wants to test his ability as a management officer of the Metropolitan Police Department to see what he can say worthy of the title of "expert".

"Well... I'll take a look now. ”

Lin Xin agreed one by one.

was scolded several times in such a rudeness, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart.

So, Lin Xinyi took the stack of documents with a cold face, and by the way, he also gave a little bit to Conan, who was sitting on his lap.

"What are you...?"

Officer Sakata's expression was a little strange.

Hattori Heiji is also a little puzzled: Is this kind of thing suitable for children?

Lin Xinyi's expression was very calm.

Anyway, the person sent by the organization to monitor is Conan's "own mother", and there is no need for him to keep Conan in mind like before.

And looking for clues according to the case information, in this aspect that requires more reasoning, he really doesn't have Conan's children's expertise.

Therefore, Lin Xinyi directly stuffed a handful of documents into Conan's hand.

Faced with Officer Sakata's questioning, he had a cold face and replied tooth for tooth:

"Sorry, that's a bit ugly..."

"But there are some cases that we elementary school students in Tokyo can solve."
