Seeing Katsumi Uehara's face gradually becoming weird, Hattori slapped his head on the back, thinking that Kudo had never introduced himself to him, and said decisively: "There were two cases that I handled with Kudo before, and I discovered his true identity, so he told me about you from the Uehara Police Department." ”

"There were two cases with him before? Which two? Uehara Katsumi was stunned when he heard this, and what he remembered most clearly about Hattori Heiji was the murder of the diplomat, which was also the first meeting between the Osaka black rooster and Conan.

After that, to be honest, I don't have much of an impression.

In the case of Heiji Hattori, what he remembered about the diplomat's case was also because the murderer's method of killing people in front of these two gods of death was really bizarre. In addition, the rest of the stalks that he really didn't confess in his impression have deep memories.

After all, there is a saying that says: When Shinichi and Xiaolan were still in ink, Heiji was looking for a confession location; When Shinichi and Xiaolan have already confessed and confirmed their relationship, Pingji is still looking for a place to confess.

I've been running on the treadmill all the time.

"A diplomat killing, and a Sherlock Holmes killing. It's normal that you don't have an impression of the Uehara Police Department, after all, you were still hospitalized at that time, and Kudo's identity was also discovered by me during the Sherlock Holmes murder incident. ”

I was still in the hospital at that time?

That's fine.

Thinking that he had indeed been in the hospital for a long, long time, Katsumi Uehara, who was chewing foie gras, raised his red wine glass to him: "Have you eaten lunch, Hattori-kun?" If you haven't eaten it, eat it together? ”

At this point, Hattori Heiji will appear here, and what it means is self-evident.

He came here with a meal.

Unexpectedly, in the face of Katsumi Uehara's habitual casual invitation, Hattori Heiji hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head: "No, no, Uehara Police Department, I've already eaten." ”

"Eaten? So what are you doing here? After putting down the knife and fork, he wiped his mouth with a tissue, and in the face of this unfamiliar Osaka high school detective, Katsumi Uehara still maintained due courtesy.

"To tell you the truth, my purpose of appearing here should be the same as that of the Uehara Police Department." Raising his hand to straighten the hat he was wearing on his head, Hattori Heiji did not answer his question directly.

Hearing this, Katsumi Uehara looked at the young man in front of him who was full of confidence with a smile: "Oh? ”

This kind of desire to show one's reasoning when encountering a recognized detective or criminal police officer is not unreasonable for Hattori Heiji to be pushed out by the Osaka media to fight Shinichi Kudo in Tokyo.

The same age, the same excellence, the same like reasoning, and a childhood sweetheart.

"The Uehara Police Department, you didn't have any intersection with the Nagato Group before, but today you suddenly appeared here, and you haven't brought a police officer with you, which is enough to show that you were also invited to come.

"Considering that you don't know Chairman Nagato himself, it must be impossible for you to be invited to celebrate his sixtieth birthday.

"In this way, then there is only one possibility left to be invited to secretly investigate the abnormal running and break-in traces in this Nagato mansion, after all, the Uehara Police Department has a good reputation for your ability to solve crimes, and it is normal for President Nagato to find you."

"Nice reasoning."

Katsumi Uehara tilted his head noncommittally and said, "However, is it possible that I was entrusted by someone else to deliver something?"

"Do you know Renzaburo Shiratori? He is the eldest son of the Shiratori Foundation and a colleague of mine. He is currently in the hospital, so please ask my colleague who is on vacation to come and give him a birthday present on his behalf. ”

Hattori Heiji's face suddenly froze: "......"

"Lie to you."

Seeing him like this, Katsumi Uehara, whose bad taste was satisfied in his heart, turned his knife and fork happily: "It's really the same as your reasoning, and it's worthy of being a Kansai high school detective who is famous in Osaka, and he feels very keen." ”

“……”

？？？

Katsumi Uehara in Kudo's mouth isn't like this......

The perception of Katsumi Uehara comes from news reports and Conan's dictation of Heiji Hattori is very surprising, in Conan's previous description of him, this police officer of Katsumi Uehara is one of the few people he admires.

It was precisely because of this that he became a little excited when he met Katsumi Uehara in the restaurant.

This is a famous criminal police officer certified by Kudo, and it is by no means comparable to those who sell their reputations.

At this moment, Hattori Heiji only felt that the original image of Katsumi Uehara established in Kudo's dictation in his heart collapsed.

Thanks to his enthusiasm, he still wants to try to challenge this famous man, just as he wanted to challenge Kudo Shinichi in the first place.

Hattori, who didn't know what to say for a while, could only laugh a few times, but fortunately, a figure appeared behind him at some point, and his voice eased his embarrassment: "Heiji, what are you doing here?" ”

——？！

The facial features on Hattori Heiji's face, who was taken aback, flew in an instant, and after seeing that it was his own father, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Hattori Heizou, Hattori Heiji's father, and the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, whether it is reasoning, kendo or being an official, he is close to the perfect hexagonal warrior, and he is one of the world's IQ ceilings like Kudo Yusaku.

After seeing this police boss in a suit and leather shoes, the smile on the corner of Katsumi Uehara's mouth also subsided a little, and he got up and greeted him politely: "Hello, Minister Hattori Headquarters." ”

"I've heard Zhuxing mention you, more than once, the Uehara Police Department."

The narrow fox's eyes were full of the fierce temperament of being the No.1 in the Osaka police world, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he lifted out the Hattori Heizou, the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Police Department, Shinobu Shio, and affirmed: "Good job." ”

"You've won the prize, I should have done it."

"Don't be modest, we've seen your performance. If this stinky boy of mine hinders you in the follow-up investigation, don't be polite to him. After all, you're the policeman. ”

slapped one hand on his son's head, and Hattori Heizou's words made Hattori Heiji's eyes suddenly bend into a protractor - what, it will grow the morale of others and destroy the prestige of his own people.

"How come, Ling Lang's reputation can be said to be well-known, and with his help, I believe that the abnormal situation of President Nagato's family will definitely be investigated soon."

"The media saw him as my son and held him. In our business, he's still far behind. Hattori Heizou vaguely glanced at his son, who was full of joy and anger, and his face couldn't hide anything at all, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Smart is smart, but still too young to be honed.

Even in terms of reasoning.

"Then don't disturb the Uehara Police Department for your meal, I'm going to take Heiji to meet President Nagato."

"Please."

Katsumi Uehara made a gesture of please, and politely watched the Osaka police boss leave with his muttering son.

Just shook his head with emotion, turned his head and saw three unusually familiar figures appear on the garden lawn walkway outside the window-

Kogoro Mori, Mori Ran, Conan Edogawa.

“？？？”

Katsumi Uehara, who had just taken a mouthful of foie gras and was about to put it in his mouth, blinked, and then quickly turned his head to look in the direction where Hattori Heiji had disappeared.

Conan and Hattori appear in the same frame?

6。

I, Katsumi Uehara, how can I let these two high school students and detectives in Kanto and Kansai serve me together......

Katsumi Uehara, who roughly understood in his heart that there was a high probability of murder today, scratched his head, and even lost his appetite for the fragrant foie gras in his mouth.

According to his experience, any case that can be involved with these two evil stars is not a small case, which means that he has to write the closing report when the case is finally closed......

Gan!

Uehara, who was pulling his hair, began to try to recall......

Recall......

Recall an egg!

It's been 25 years, and I can still remember every case so clearly!
