"Okita has already gone back?"

"I'm going back. Why don't you go back yet, aren't you going to class tomorrow? Tang Ze took a closer look at Hattori Heiji a few times, and then looked at Toyama Kazuha who was following him, and his expression became strange, "Whether it's Kudo's business or my business, you're already busy, right?" ”

Ah, think about it seriously, in order to hide the news that Kazuha himself came to Tokyo, he deliberately rejected Maoriran's invitation.

In other words, Hattori Heiji not only lied and deceived Toyama Kazuha, but even made a special trip to call Soji Okita in Kyoto, without informing Toyama Kazuha or asking her about her itinerary today......

Hattori Heiji, like Kudo Shinichi, would have been single for the rest of his life if he hadn't been a handsome guy with a handsome appearance and personality.

"I don't have classes, I'm taking a good leave." Heiji Hattori replied as a matter of course, "In addition to your affairs, I have to deal with other commissions." ”

"New commission?" When Tang Ze spoke, his gaze couldn't help but tilt towards the distant mountains and leaves that followed him step by step, and his expression slowly became subtle, "Is something wrong?" ”

Whenever Hattori Heiji appears, and a new plot is about to happen, there is a standard that can basically be used as a plot judgment, that is, whether Toyama and Ye appear.

As long as Toyama and Ye are involved in the case with him, it means that Hattori Heiji should be deflated.

What a shot, what a cliff, Hattori Heiji, who carries Toyama and leaves, is as if he has a retinue with a taunting effect, and he will be promoted to MT in an instant, and he will be beaten the most viciously.

This may be what God wants to tell him that his relationship is destined to be ups and downs, twists and turns, which is simply a foreshadowing for his subsequent confession failures again and again.

"It's not a commission, but my father told me to rush to Kyoto and asked me to stop by to have a look." Heiji Hattori shrugged his shoulders and replied casually without thinking.

"Oh, that's it." Toyama and Ha heard him mention Hattori Heizou, and quickly understood what he was talking about, and opened his mouth to explain for Hattori Heiji, "It's one of my father's former subordinates, a bit like a Maori detective, who used to be a police officer, and now he is a detective, working in a detective agency in Tokyo. ”

"Well, He Ye's father received a letter from this guy, saying that he had something important to say, but the person who left this news was not heard from." Thinking of his father's tone when he mentioned this person, Hattori Heiji shook his head, "Although I'm not sure if something really happened, they were a little worried, so they asked me to stop by and take a look." ”

Tang Ze, who had a sense of déjà vu in an instant: "......"

Because of the change in the working status of Gray Yuanai, plus the crazy krypton gold of the background system, plus the crazy gold explosion from the organization, plus ......

In short, the wind set off by Tang Ze's butterfly, the aftermath has almost overturned the ground, and the direct result is that the temporary antidote, which should only be effective for a day and a half, has become a more stable version, at least in the past three days, Okudo will be very active.

He originally muttered that Kudo Shinichi had appeared for so many days, and there were only two murders in total, and for the shining return of this legendary high school detective, it was not enough cards, but now he has finally found the reason.

There are also masters here.

"That's the kind of thing that's going on. It's rare for Kudo to come back to Tokyo, otherwise, you might as well call him along? Tang Ze blinked twice and gave a heartfelt suggestion.

Although he understands that if two high school students with a lot of force value will be controlled by gangsters, plus Kudo Shinichi, who is not as good as a goose, that is, buy two bottles and send them as a tasting pack, and a pure side dish.

But with Kudo's words, maybe the prisoner will die a little worse? For example, being punched into the ground by an angry Maolilan to a depth of one meter......

If you add such a picture, the story suddenly looks so good.

"What did you call him for?" Hattori Heiji glanced at him in confusion, "It's just a matter of stopping by to ask someone about the situation, and it's not too important." Don't you have class tomorrow? ”

"yes, after all, someone just wants to take the opportunity to stay in Tokyo for two more days, and by the way, they can skip class." Yuanshan and Ye puffed out their cheeks and complained casually, "As a detective, you can not go to school if you want to, isn't it convenient." ”

"Huh? I'm embarrassed to say that I'll do it, why do you have to stay with me? Don't you want to go back to class? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, my dad didn't worry that I was a girl who had traveled so far back to Osaka by herself, so he let me go with you."

"He doesn't feel at ease when you go back alone, but he's relieved when you come alone, right? I haven't settled accounts with you yet, didn't I tell you not to bother Kudo and Mori......"

"And then you yourself came and made jokes? Hattori Heiji, I think you're ......"

The two of them, who soon re-entered the bickering mode, the topic had completely deviated from the direction at the beginning, and they were immersed in the atmosphere of raising eyebrows and scolding each other.

Looks like he can't think of me for a while.

Tang Ze sighed secretly, silently took a few steps back, sat back on the seat outside the door of Polo's Cafe, silently took out his mobile phone, and rummaged through Hattori's phone.

A high school student who can't tell the priorities, he still doesn't count on it.

————

"Kusukawa? Could it be Kusukawa from the Cup Detective Agency? cough, cough, cough, cough cough ......"

Halfway through the words, Maori Kogoro waved his hand, and coughed violently, until Tang Ze turned off the fire on the stove.

"It's easy to say anything else about the dishes you taught me, but this cigarette is inevitably too big." Looking at the range hood that was covered with oil stains not long after, Mori Kogoro couldn't help but chatter, "With such a big fire, I feel like it's quite troublesome to get started." ”

"It would have been simpler if you used the kitchen of the café. The fire on your stove at home is not big enough, and the suction power of the range hood is not too sufficient. Glancing with disdain at the small all-in-one range hood that Maori Kogoro had chosen on the wall for aesthetics, Tang Ze shook his head, "If you really make stir-frying, this range hood is just a decoration." ”

"I can't just learn to cook, I also go to the café downstairs, cough, cough, cough, the smell of smoke is really big." Mori Kogoro waved his hand in front of his nose, and was soon disgusted again by the smell of oil on his hands.

"Then hurry up and change to a high-power range hood, and the money saved is to be spent on the blade." Tang Ze, a senior Chinese home-cooked chef, gave his self-confessed and pertinent advice before turning the topic back, "Do you know this person named Nanchuan?" Mr. Hattori mentioned his name, and it seems that Hattori and they came to Tokyo to find this person. ”

"Yes. I have all kinds of backgrounds as detectives, but it's quite rare to retire from the criminal police like me. Mori Kogoro scrubbed his hands clean, picked up the dishes on the plate, followed Karasawa to the table, and replied casually, "The reason for his departure is different from mine, he likes horse racing, rowing, and even bicycles, I should say, I don't gamble on anything, I think it's the kind of person who is uncomfortable." ”

"You know so well, it can't be the ...... before," Tang Ze stretched his tone and glanced at Mao Lilan, who was immediately vigilant.

"Well, no, no, I'm just going to play mahjong with him once in a while." Receiving his daughter's unkind gaze, Maori Kogoro immediately waved his hand vigorously and denied it, "He's a very exaggerated kind, he plays too much, he goes to work all day long, and he is moody, so he was fired by the police force." I didn't expect him to be a subordinate of the Criminal Minister of Yuanshan before......"

Speaking of this, Mori Kogoro's face was full of embarrassment.

Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori's father are all quite capable waves of contemporary police.

As the peers of Maori Kogoro, the two of them basically climbed to the top of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, and even now, Maori Kogoro's boss back then, Metsu Thirteen, has only reached the level of the police department, basically just boiling up his qualifications, relying on not making mistakes, and improving step by step.

Therefore, Nan Chuan, who originally followed Yuanshan and Ye's father, if it weren't for the fact that he stepped down from his position because of personal character problems, with such a shrewd and capable boss, the position he could go to might be quite far.

After knowing Nanchuan's original position, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and he was also a little faintly complacent.

At least my career plan can be regarded as my own active choice!

"But it's okay, Nan Chuan is a bit of a fool, but as long as he doesn't have any money with him, as a detective, he can be regarded as abiding by professional ethics." Mori Kogoro, who was finished with emotion, waved his hand casually, picked up the chopsticks, and stretched out to the plate with an expectant expression.

Although I don't know where Tang Ze learned the craft from, he was already hooked by the taste when he was cooking just now, but Tang Ze resolutely didn't allow him to taste it secretly, so even if there was a smell of oil smoke, he was still hungry now.

Then the tip of his chopsticks was accurately clamped by the chopsticks stretched out by Mao Lilan.

"Daddy......" squinted her eyes, and she leaned closer unkindly, "Are you supposed to keep in touch with this person all the time?" ”

Under the strong medical advice of the new doctor—although she always felt that Kogoro Maori's physical condition did not seem to collapse to this extent—the cigarette, my father did not touch it anymore, and when it came to alcohol, the frequency of drinking was much lower.

This is also one of the strategies given by Tang Ze.

Expecting a middle-aged man with a long-term irregular life and a private detective, who is actually a freelancer with a sparse schedule, suddenly makes a big turn overnight, and a serious withdrawal reaction will also trigger a serious backlash.

Therefore, the plan given by Tang Ze is that there are two strict and one wide, and there is a degree of relaxation.

According to him, he has seen many people who have quit smoking for more than ten years, because of a sudden relaxation or emotional breakdown, and then smoke, and the addiction to smoking is getting more and more serious.

Wine, on the other hand, can be appropriately closed to one eye, of course, on the surface it is still strictly restricted. In this way, when he occasionally steals a glass or two, this sense of happiness can make him satisfied for a short time.

Only when it comes to gambling, Karasawa is so resolute that he doesn't look like a person living in Japan, where pachinko and horse racing are rampant.

"It's not just a matter of losing money, Lan." When Mao Lilan couldn't help but be shaken by the fact that he had caused some conflicts because he stopped his father from watching horse racing, Tang Ze gave a very firm answer, "I don't talk to you about those academic issues, what reward circuits, what dopamine secretion...... I'm only talking to you about human nature. Gambling is not about money, it's about human nature. There is never any 'small gambling pleasure', even if it is a small amount, the kind of stimulation and expansion it brings is enough to destroy a person's concept of money that has been insisted on for more than ten or twenty years. ”

Seeing the blank looks of Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, Tang Ze sighed and put down the literature in his hand.

The thick psychology paper, when placed on the desk, can smash a very strong muffled sound, adding extra persuasiveness to Tang Ze's words.

"Let's say you go to school in general, go to university in a normal way and graduate, and start working in a normal way. Your salary at that time may be 200,000 to 400,000 yen per month. With this money, you have to commute very hard every day, go to and from work, and work overtime until you stand on the last train that no one is on to go home. Suddenly, one day, you were watching a race on TV, and a thought came to me, what if I paid a thousand yen and pressed a horse race? Even if you win 500 yen, doesn't that mean an extra breakfast, or a cup of coffee? This idea is not too hot compared to those who are addicted to gambling, right? Of course, that's a small gamble, isn't it? ”

Seeing the two girls nodding in unison, Tang Ze organized his language and continued to speak.

"Let's say you win, you win yourself a cup of coffee money, happily buy a cup of coffee and go back to the company. The next day, it's the same time again, and you want to buy coffee again. What would you think at this time, would you think, I won 500 yen yesterday, why don't you try again today? If you lose, it's like you didn't win yesterday, and if you win, it's just another cup of coffee. ”

"Sounds like a very reasonable idea." Substituting into the scene that Tang Ze said, Mao Lilan couldn't help but nodded.

"Well, then the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...... If you win or lose in the process, you will gradually start to get used to this way of getting money, and slowly, 500 yen will no longer be a half-hour desk work for you, it will slowly become a matter of picking a number. In case you win a few more times, your confidence will naturally begin to grow, will you produce, I have such good luck, then why don't you add it to two thousand and try it? What about three thousand, four thousand? As he spoke, many shadows flashed in front of Tang Ze's eyes.

In his previous life, he had seen too much extreme evil, too much cruel blood and tears......

But what impressed him the most was often some guys who were dragged into the quagmire by a little bit of sin, ignorant and unconscious, and walked into the abyss.

His disgust with these vices is precisely because he has actually seen them, and he really understands where they lead.

Luck has always been very good, and Mao Lilan, who rarely fails miserably when playing cards with others, used his already strong empathy ability, and his face slowly turned pale.

Indeed, as Tang Ze said, this kind of small temptation, a small stimulation, is easy to make people lose their vigilance.

"Gambling is such a cyclical process. You may think that it is impersonal and condescending for me to suddenly ask you to deal with your father's problems so harshly and without dignity...... But trust me. Tang Ze looked deeply at the girl sitting behind him, "When a person always has negative emotions to break out, when he reaches middle age, there are all kinds of unsatisfactory, in case he really chooses this way to vent his emotions...... Without breaking this cycle, no one knows when everything will become irreversible. The current labor pains are for a better future, and you are responsible for yourself and your mother, Lan-san. ”

Retracting his thoughts, Mori Lan looked at Mori Kogoro's somewhat stunned expression again, took a breath, and once again made up his mind.

"If I find out you're messing around with such a mess, I'm really welcome, Dad."

Obviously, Maorilan's tone has not changed much, and he still uses a very affectionate name, but Maori Kogoro can't help but shiver.

At this moment, he seemed to see a burning and iron-blooded will on his daughter's soft and delicate face.

Damn, my daughter is such a little girl, and she slowly becomes like this, no matter how you think about it, it's Tang Ze's fault for this bastard boy who makes blind ideas every day!

"I really haven't been in constant contact with him." After a dry laugh twice, Mori Kogoro hurriedly clarified, "These things were said at the poker table before. I haven't seen him in a long time. Oh, you see, I don't even have Nanchuan's phone, I only have the office phone number of their office...... Some of your peers' normal socializing, don't be too nervous......"

After staring silently at his father's expression for a few seconds, Mao Lilan re-released his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat from the pot.

Well, in order not to show timidity in costumes, she didn't even dare to drink more water at noon, and now she is also hungry.

"You're looking pretty good right now, oh Dad. Come on, I'm sure mom she'll see your determination. Hmm......" she chewed on the slices of meat in her mouth, her eyes slowly lit up, "If you can learn this dish, she will be even happier." Tang Ze, what kind of method is this, it is very fragrant and delicious! ”

"Go back to the pot." After watching the father-daughter confrontation for a while, Tang Ze, who felt very good at eating, leisurely picked up the dishes.

"Really tasty! If Dad can't learn it, you can teach me to do it! ”

"yes, that restaurant didn't make any shit last time, right?"

"Hey, Tang Ze boy, don't swear in front of Xiaolan!"

————

"Hey, I suddenly feel like it's no good to become an adult."

Holding a box of instant noodles, Kudo Shinichi, who was sitting in his house with Hattori Heiji looking at each other, smelled the faint, very appetizing aroma of the two houses on the left and right, and forked up a handful of noodles very sadly.

He should have taken Tang Ze over for two days, damn it, he's used to eating the dishes they make, and now he feels so hungry!
