Chapter 522: Spicy Octopus Warning
"There are a lot of delicious things in Osaka, and it's interesting to travel here." Flipping through the map in his hand, Conan couldn't help but say.
"Yes, it seems that as long as you have a famous property here, there will be a special 'XX street'." Kogoro Mori, who was also checking the Osaka travel guide he was handy, couldn't help but nod his head.
"We do like to join in the fun, but there's nothing wrong with that! When we all come together, there will be all kinds of innovations and tricks, and the more the merrier. Hattori Heiji nodded seriously, remembering something, and couldn't help but look in the direction of Tang Ze again, "You're not eating well again." Isn't this octopus balls fragrant? ”
"Not really, it tastes good, and the octopus is very large, and I like this kind of charred meatballs grilled on the surface." Tang Ze flicked the balls on the plate, thought about it, and couldn't help but play with the stalk, "I'm thinking, if it's wise......"
"What's wrong with Ake, hasn't he already returned to Tokyo?" When Hattori Heiji heard this name, his expression froze, "Are you looking for him to solve the case?" ”
"What solves the case?" Tang Ze gave him a strange look, "I mean Octopus Maruko." Well, his kind of guy who cares about his image very much, no matter what the state will remain gentle and handsome, he said that if we handed him a small octopus ball, he would hide a different taste in it, for example, hell spicy or something......"
"Poof......" imagined that scene, and Hattori Heiji couldn't hold back his laughter, "According to that guy's pretending style, I'm afraid he can only eat it with a smile on his face......"
"It's really, and you have to be spicy and shivering, and you can force a smile at the same time......" Conan couldn't help but light up when he heard it.
"Poof......" sat at the two tables behind them, and Hoshikawa Teru, who was facing away from them, didn't hold back, and squirted the ice water out of his mouth.
Akemi Miyano sympathetically smoothed his back and whispered, "It's okay, don't eat what they handed you when it's a big deal." ”
“…… What if Tang Ze handed it to me himself? Hoshikawa asked through gritted teeth.
"It's okay, start eating spicy food from now on, eat it for half a month, and you will get used to it." Narumi Asai, who was sitting on the other side, also patted him.
Tang Ze, who was holding back his laughter, retracted his eyes and secretly looked at his teammates, and said innocently in the face of Mao Lilan, who was looking confused: "I am discussing the taste of everyone's food." Lan and Uncle Maori are both types that prefer traditional flavors, right? ”
"Ah, that's true, I don't quite accept too creative style of food." Mori Lan didn't doubt him, nodded, and discussed the taste of the store and the next itinerary with Mori Kogoro.
Tang Ze turned his head, glanced at the police car outside the store by the way, and squinted his eyes.
"Hattori, you called the police car and called the police officer again, is it also because you are worried about that nightmare?" Tang Ze lowered his voice and asked, "Or is it that your father's case is so serious that you have to be careful about how safe you are?" ”
Conan, who was struggling with the hot batter in his mouth, caught the key word, and turned his head to look at Heiji Hattori at the first time.
Even if his father was the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, it would not be difficult to receive a few private guests and use police cars and police cars, so there should be a reason for this choice.
"There are two reasons." Looking at the Maori father and daughter, who were elated and didn't feel a trace of strangeness from the trip, Hattori Heiji also lowered his voice, "I invited Kudo because of that nightmare that made people's hearts hairy, but I invited you because of this case." ”
"What's wrong with this case?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised by the answer he gave, so he added, "Can this case still have anything to do with me?" Why, the deceased in this case is also committing unjust crimes, so that innocent high school students are saddled with a criminal record? ”
“…… Hey, the atmosphere is just getting serious. Hattori Heiji, who didn't mention it in one breath, couldn't help but clench his fist.
"Relax, don't take it too seriously. Whatever the reason for our visit, we're all on a tour now, and being too serious will make Uncle Maori suspicious. Tang Ze smiled, poked a ball and stuffed it in his mouth.
Hattori Heiji lifted his hat, feeling helpless for his rare long-term client,
At first, he felt that under Tang Ze's smiling appearance all the year round, he was a slightly gloomy and occasionally extreme head due to his past; Later, I slowly felt that the situation had changed, and it should be the other way around, and under his slightly alienated and indifferent side, he was more open-minded and thorough.
You say he's optimistic, he's not afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice, you say he's dark, and he can really gradually dissolve the past suffering, showing a unique humor polished by setbacks.
The more I got to know him, the more I felt that a contradictory guy like him was really reassuring, and there was nothing he could do......
"Well, that's pretty much what you say." Sighing, Hattori Heiji didn't specialize in keeping the low volume of an underground worker, and as he spoke, he took two balls from Karasawa's plate in retaliation, "This is a serial murder case, and there is a high suspicion that the murderer is related to the police system, or, similar to you, may have encountered some top-down shady or something......"
Conan, who was busy eating and drinking, was suddenly attracted and sat up straight: "Which is related?" ”
The serial murder case, the police system, and then Tang Ze were involved...... Kyosuke Kado's distorted face flashed back in an instant.
The last time I brought up Tang Ze's case, it didn't bring up any good memories.
"The case is still under investigation, but the two deceased are likely to be related to an official." Thinking of this, Hattori flicked his hat in frustration, "I used to think that a policeman like my father should be the majority of ......"
Before the investigation into the shady scenes of the police system began because of Karazawa's case, Heiji Hattori, who grew up in a family of high-ranking police officers, did not think about these issues.
His father was upright and resolute, and the police officers he came into contact with were either similar iron-blooded images, or they were police officers who were tense in his father's command and dispatch and never let up in their actions......
Coming into contact with something deep in the darkness too early made him feel depressed and a little lost.
Calling Tang Ze over, he actually wanted to listen carefully to the other party's thoughts from Tang Ze's point of view, that is, the victim's point of view.
"Police is a profession in which there are noble idealists, as well as mediocre and even despicable ordinary people. There's no need to be too anxious, Heiji-kun. From his reaction, Tang Ze realized something, and reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
When a child at the age of a high school student comes into contact with criminal investigation, the biggest problem is not knowledge or wisdom, but the unavoidable face of vicious cases, a direct view of human nature.
A minor who is black and white, good and evil, is dragged to the thief ship by himself for the reason of commissioning, which seems to be a bit lacking in virtue......
"Do you really think like that, without any additional resentment and prejudice against the police?" Thinking of the words that Tang Ze saw the police car ridiculing earlier, although it was a joke, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but hesitate.
"Don't worry, even if I am really arrested by the police again, I will not become a guy who yells for revenge on society." Tang Ze patted him on the shoulder again.
If he didn't have the memories or experiences of his previous life at all, he might still have a bit of a psychological shadow on the police because he was really abused, but he recovered his memory and knew what kind of police and bandit he was facing on the set.
Bastard guys are everywhere, noble guys are everywhere, and the darkness of individual people does not have to be extended to everyone.
Tang Ze's attitude towards the police, just look at the valley zero that has more contact with him!
Drop Valley Zero obviously understands Tang Ze's position and point of view very well, so he will ask the people of Group Zero to give him some strength several times - even if he is still in the stage of pretending to be garlic, Tang Ze has not had any overreaction because he was caught by Feng Jianyuya, and now he will pretend to have a shadow, and Drop Valley Zero will not buy it.
"What are you talking about?" Yusuke Sakata, who walked in the door, looked at Tang Ze again in confusion, and became more and more unsure of where Hattori's group of guests came from.
"I'm talking about a new case recently." Hattori coughed and quickly diverted the topic, "I've almost eaten too, where should I go next?" ”
Except for his parents, he didn't tell anyone else that he was investigating Tang Ze's affairs, and Tang Ze's situation was naturally only known to a few of them.
Anyway, everyone was used to accepting commissions and running around around blindly and busily, and he joined a survey project that regularly ran around Kyoto without attracting much attention.
Tang Ze's case, what is the truth, and how the police are involved, I don't know yet, of course he can't go around mentioning this matter.
"How's it going?" Yusuke Sakata looked at Tang Ze suspiciously for a while, shook his head, and took the initiative to propose first, "This is also a very distinctive thing." ”
"Okoyaki......" Hattori Heiji, who was walking towards the outside of the store, touched his chin and nodded slowly, "But in that case, will you have to take a long detour?" ”
"That's right, if you want to go to Midosuji, why do you have to go around twice." Yusuke Sakata nodded and calmly walked in the direction of the vehicle.
His purpose is very clear, and he is confident in his arrangements, and he will not worry about changes in his itinerary.
No matter what these guests plan to do, why not go to Shinsaibashi when they come to Osaka?
Hattori Heiji took out his mobile phone and studied the navigation for a while, frowning at the twisting route: "It's really troublesome, there are so many one-way streets in Osaka, this route is not easy to choose......"
"So if you plan ahead of time, if you go to Okonomiyaki first and then eat octopus balls, the road will be much smoother." Yusuke Sakata sighed with a pretended headache and fully expressed his embarrassment as a driver.
"After all, is it entertaining others to play, of course, you have to consider the opinions of the guests." Heiji Hattori shrugged his shoulders and opened the co-pilot's door, "Do you have any suggestions, Sakata?" ”
It was precisely because he was familiar with the road and the situation of the small shop that Officer Sakata volunteered to do the reception work, and Hattori Heiji naturally asked him what he thought.
"I'll take you to a closer store, I think about it, there is a store that doesn't need to go far, the taste is good, and the ingredients are very fresh." Yusuke Sakata nodded, and naturally gave a suggestion.
"That's great." Maori Kogoro, who was moving his waist and abdomen, nodded hurriedly, "It's great to be closer, and sitting in the car for too long makes people feel don't pinch it." ”
Especially if you are still in a police car.
What kind of police car can be equipped with a police station, what kind of experience is a police car and the back seat, no one knows better than the former criminal police.
This car is said to be a very new car, and there must be tens of thousands of miles there, it is just a new car at the police station, and it has a limited prefix.
"Okay, let's go, don't worry, Mr. Maori Detective, this store will be there in ten minutes, and it's easy to find a parking space nearby, which is very convenient." Yusuke Sakata, who had achieved his goal, stepped forward with a smile and wanted to open the car door for the guests, but when he saw Tang Ze, his movements froze again.
The baby-faced kid's previous "joke" is still fresh in his memory, so he doesn't know whether taking the initiative to pull the car door is polite or an offense.
Tang Ze, who fully understood what he was embarrassed about, walked over with a smile, opened the car door and sat in.
"Don't be nervous Officer Sakata, I have a lot of experience in police cars, so you can just drive." Tang Ze, who had written several transcripts not long after arriving in Tokyo, said without any pressure, and glanced at Yusuke Sakata with a cautious gaze.
Murderers who want to avenge their loved ones, generally speaking, the target of seeking the enemy is very clear and will not accidentally hurt passers-by, which is also the reason why Tang Ze's mentality is relatively relaxed.
It's just that I don't know, if I really provoked the other party's nerves, would this Officer Sakata still have a bit of police professional ethics, and suddenly have a sense of mission that I have killed so many people, so it is better to eliminate harm for the people again......
Hey, it's inconvenient to go out, and who doesn't know that he's a criminal from top to bottom in a search lesson in Tokyo?
"That's ......" After laughing dryly, Yusuke Sakata opened the driver's door and sat in to check the situation of the vehicle and adjust the rearview mirror, while muttering in his heart.
Hattori's group of friends, since they can walk with the detective, there shouldn't be any big problems, right?
I suddenly regretted that I chose to take this opportunity to complete my plan.
It's already very reluctant to fool Hattori Heiji alone, and if you have to count so many moths......
Tang Ze, who had no guilt about the psychological pressure he caused to the murderer, watched him sit in the car, and then glanced at Mao Li Kogoro's sleeve, looking left and right hesitantly, probably sensing that someone was following and observing, Tang Ze smiled and chose a comfortable sitting position.
Don't say it, their trip to Osaka this time, strictly calculated, is still very powerful.
Their police car is followed by a taxi all the way, and it is not difficult to see the distant mountains and leaves that are not bad for money.
Then behind Yuanshan and Ye, there were three teammates who worked tirelessly to chase after the group leader, faithfully fulfilling the principle that the joker is where the thief group is.
Soon, after they finished the meal and something more to eat, it was time for Hattori Heizou and the others to come and take a kick.
Hey, don't you really say it, no wonder Hattori Heiji has been emptying the magazine in his nightmare?
If a gunman really came out and tried to kill everyone in the detective's group, it might be a magazine, which really wasn't enough.
It's just that if Hattori Heiji's "prophecy" really comes true, then the first one to smile should be the brewery boss.
So many of the organization's henchmen were killed all over the place because of an ordinary serial murder, and they would really wake up laughing in a dream.
You don't care if they lie down and win, you just say they won or not! As for how you win, does it matter?
And this case, strictly speaking, can it really have something to do with the organization?
Although it is not so much to do with the main line, since there is such a thing as "experiment" in the keyword, it naturally enters the scope of Tang Ze's investigation.
"Is it my delusion? It was as if someone was staring at me all the time. Maolilan, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but touch the cold back of his neck as he put Conan on his lap.
Strange, although she occasionally encounters some pick-ups, or thinks she looks more amiable and may be easy to bully, so she wants to come to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, so she does encounter strange stares, but this feeling has been maintained for a little too long......
"Look at how beautiful you look." Maori Kogoro was alert for two seconds, looked carefully at his daughter, who had been cleaned up quite delicately for a while, and leaned back relaxedly.
"Is that so? Well, it's weird, it's not that kind of sight ......"
"What kind of sight is that, malicious?"
"Well, it's not ...... to describe."
"I feel a little bit of this way when you say that......" Heiji Hattori touched his chin.
"Ah, it seems so." Conan, who did feel that he had received a wave of unkind staring, also touched his chin.
Tang Ze's fingers, which were editing the email, paused for a moment, glanced at the detectives who were pondering whether they were related to the case, and coughed.
Well, that's because Hoshikawa Teru is not good at staring at him with a death gaze, and I know the reason why he is thick-skinned and it's useless to stare at him......
Who made them have nothing to do and make immoral proposals? Maybe Hoshikawa won't dare to eat casually for a long time in the future, when he acts as a wise goro.
Tang Ze maintained a serious expression, hid his very immoral smile very well, and at the same time, the email in his hand was also typed in and sent.
[I followed Kudo and them to investigate the case outside, you should know, I won't go into details, in short, I am now at the request of Hattori Heiji, and I came to Osaka.
There was a case here, and I noticed something unusual in the middle.
Do you have an impression of the name Jiichiro Numabuchi? 】
