Hattori calmed his breath, and then used his mobile phone to confirm once again that the call to Maori's house would still be busy, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although his performance in the office seemed to be trying to find out what Kudo looked like, he wasn't sure if the young lady would be aware of this and would cooperate with him.

But now it seems that there is still a chance.

The lights in the house are on.

Heiji Hattori didn't walk in directly, but leaned inside to observe.

There was no one inside.

However, Hattori Heiji did not panic.

In the morning, he was shown around the lab by Dr. Asasa, so he knew that there was a phone there, but he didn't know the number. Kudo may have been there to call his woman.

And as long as he catches Kudo right, that nasty kid will have nothing to say!

Hattori opened the door, slipped inside, and crept towards the location he remembered, to the outside of the laboratory door.

He wasn't sure Kudo was inside, and he didn't seem to hear a phone call inside outside the door - but it was just an attempt without a cost.

Recalling the location of the phone and other furnishings in the room, and thinking that it would not be a big deal even if it was discovered, Hattori turned on the phone's recording function, then held his breath and carefully opened the door a crack.

And then...

"Brother Hattori?"

The voice behind is soft, but close.

Hattori Heiji was taken aback unsuspectingly, slammed his head against the door that had been opened, and plunged directly into the room.

Then, frightened by the movement, Dr. Asa dropped the prop in his hand and looked back.

"Huh? Yes..."

"Hattori Heiji."

Kaedehara walked over from Hattori's side and whispered a reminder to the doctor.

"Oh... Hattori! Dr. Asa breathed a sigh of relief, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I..."Heiji Hattori stood up, "I am... I just wanted to come and see Dr. Asasa for your invention! ”

"Really? I didn't expect you kid to be so discerning! Dr. Akasa's eyes lit up, "Come on, I'll show you something you haven't seen before... Where did I put it? ”

Dr. Asa muttered as he walked over to the box in the corner and began to rummage through it. Hattori wiped the sweat from his forehead, quickly looked around the room, and then looked at Kaedehara.

Kaedehara's gaze fell on Hattori's left hand.

That's how Kudo guided the fat officer that day. Hattori Heiji thought to himself, but he couldn't help but look along the line of sight - only then did he notice that the phone he was holding in his hand was still parked in the recording interface.

“……”

Awkwardly ended the recording, stuffed the phone back into his pocket, and the next second he hurriedly took it out again, and called the Maori family directly in front of Kaedehara's eyes.

It's still busy.

Isn't that right?

Hattori Heiji glanced at Kaedehara a few more times.

"Oh, here! Got it! Dr. Asasa said, "Come on, come on, I'll show you this, you must not have seen it..."

It's a great pleasure to have your creations recognized, especially for Dr. Asasa.

However, he didn't get too complacent, and remembered Kaedehara's reminder to him, and didn't expose the detective props that Conan and Kaedehara were using.

So Hattori Heiji had to admire the mantis-type robot that was useless at first glance, and then found an opportunity to get to Kaedehara's side.

"Hey, Kudo," Hattori Heiji glanced at Dr. Asa from the emergency repair prop and whispered to Kaedehara, "How did you do that?" ”

"What?"

"People are here, but they can call your woman."

"Because I'm not."

"Also, how did you get your original voice out?"

"Why don't you think about it," Kaedehara sighed, "I'm really not the new brother?" ”

"Do you think you look like a child?" Heiji Hattori said, "Kazuha is more like a schoolboy than you!" ”

“… Who is Kazuha? ”

"A long-winded woman, you don't know - forget it, next question, when did you find me?"

"When I first came in."

Hattori Heiji was silent for a moment, "... Are you so good at hearing? ”

"yes. So I did hear the uncle's cry that day. Kaedehara said, and then looked at Hattori Heiji with curious eyes, "By the way, didn't Sister Xiaolan tell you?" On that day, Brother Shinichi also went to see Sister Xiaolan. ”

……

Conan was on the phone from outside.

Except for the first time in a hurry, he, or Kaedehara, always went to the phone booth outside when he called Xiaolan, so as not to be exposed because of the phone address.

And it is worth mentioning that the mobile phone card belonging to Kudo Shinichi was placed on Conan's side, but in order to avoid exposure, it is rarely used.

By the time Conan came back from the call, Heiji Hattori had already turned back to the Maori office and asked Xiaolan to confirm Kudo's situation that day.

Kaedehara sat on the couch, "Finished calling?" ”

"Hmm." Conan took a jar of juice from the fridge, "I don't know what's going on with Xiaolan, just say something there, and don't let me hang up the phone - fortunately, I'm witty and sent her away when I said that there was a case." ”

"I told her about afternoon tea, and she agreed... But—"

Conan paused.

Kaedehara just waited.

Not receiving such a compliment as "nothing but what", Conan continued: "However, she asked me to accompany her to a midnight movie on Sunday, May 3rd. ”

"Oh."

"Oh what! How do I get there! Conan tilted his head back on the couch and scratched his hair irritably, "Really, we only met a few days ago, and we haven't seen each other for a long time - it must be May 3rd!"

Midnight Show... So what she cares about is the day of the fourth, is there anything special? It can't be the day Holmes and Moriarty fall into Reichenbach Falls, right? ”

“……”

"Kaedehara, what about you? Anything comes to mind? ”

"Birthday?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was his birthday.

And then...

"Really, it's just a birthday, wouldn't it be nice to just make a phone call or give a present, you have to cause trouble," Conan complained, his face a little red, "so... What to do? ”

It's obviously not okay to change back to Shinichi and go to the appointment. Maybe he had developed antibodies to a certain ingredient in the white dry wine, and he couldn't get it back anyway no matter how much he drank it.

Kaedehara thought for a moment, "If that guy in Hattori wears a mask, he will still look like us, and dark spots on his skin are not a big problem in the movie theater..."

"No way!"

Conan immediately vetoed it.

"What if they hold hands or something in the cinema?"

That guy at Hattori just slept next to Uncle Maori, and he couldn't stand it! Conan thought to himself, then hesitated, "Kaedehara... White dry wine should be useful for you, right? ”
