Heiji Hattori did this for a reason.

Of course, he didn't have to go to the exhibition room, but he felt that everyone came with Conan, and the puzzle was not solved by the young lady of the firm, so it didn't make sense to invite her alone except Conan.

After all, there is also a child of the same age as Kaedehara.

So Hattori Heiji felt that there must be something greasy in it.

That's how he explained it to Kaedehara.

Several people followed Teiji Moriya into the exhibition room, where all the exhibits were huge photographs of Teiji Moriya's architectural works.

Just as he didn't understand art, Kaedehara didn't understand architecture either.

However, he still noticed that in the previous photos, Teiji Moriya's works were not symmetrical.

These are his early works.

Uncle Maori quickly stopped in front of a photo.

"Hey, this one seems familiar..."

"Yes!" Xiaolan also came over, "This is the Kurokawa family's house!" I didn't expect this to be designed by you, Mr. Moriya. ”

"I heard a while ago that Mr. Kurokawa was killed by a maid?"

"Hmm." Xiaolan responded.

"This house was designed by me shortly after independence," says Teiji Moriya.

Kaedehara also came over curiously to take a look twice, wanting to see if it was symmetrical. Conan whispered to Kaedehara why they knew about the house: "... You weren't there for the case you came across last week. ”

In fact, there are many cases where Kaedehara is not there.

Conan's greatest regret was a case that happened on Moonshadow Island, where the prisoner was cornered by his reasoning and chose to commit suicide.

"The works after that were all designed when I was in my thirties, after all, I was still immature when I was young," Teiji Moriya's words interrupted Conan's thoughts, "By the way, Miss Xiaolan and Mr. Kudo know each other very well, aren't they?" ”

"Yes! The two of us grew up together, and we went to the same high school when we grew up," Xiaolan said happily, and then her mood dropped, "However, we haven't seen each other much more recently. ”

"However, this Sunday is Shinichi's birthday!" Xiaolan's mood reversed again, "So I made an appointment with him to go to the midnight movie together." ”

"That's really exciting." Teiji Moriya said.

Indeed, it's really exciting. Heiji Hattori nodded in agreement. He hadn't heard Xiaolan say this.

In fact, Xiaolan even specially told Uncle Maori not to tell Hattori, because she felt that if Hattori knew, he would definitely disturb her meeting with Shinichi.

However, at this time, Xiaolan seemed to have completely forgotten about it.

"So, you must have bought all the gifts, right?" Teiji Moriya continued to speak homely.

"Not yet," Ran replied, "I want to buy it again on Saturday." Because I like red as much as Shinichi. And! Our two lucky colors for May are red! So, I'm going to buy a red casual shirt for him. ”

"It was a great gift. I think Mr. Kudo must be very happy to receive it. ”

Uncle Maori snorted unhappily, but didn't interject.

Xiaolan turned around and looked out the window, "Huh? Isn't this the Rice Flower Municipal Building opposite? ”

"That's right." Teiji Moriya followed to the window.

"Shinichi and I are going to watch a movie in the first hall of Rice Flower Cinema City. I made an appointment with him to meet him in the lobby at 10 p.m. on the 3rd. ”

"Well," replied Teji Moriya, "this building is my pride, and if young men and women want to celebrate their birthdays, there is no better place to do it." ”

Although Xiaolan talked a lot about the new one, Teiji Moriya was just an elder who met for the first time, and it was impossible to say everything, so the topic soon ended here.

And Hattori Heiji, who completely forgot his original intention of following up on the exhibition room, couldn't help but applaud Teiji Moriya in his heart.

Well done, uncle! In this way, the time and place for that Kudo guy to appear are complete, and he will definitely be able to catch that mysterious kid this time!

With excitement in his heart, Hattori Heiji glanced at Kaedehara who was looking at the photo next to him, and then looked at Conan with a sad face.

The two imps, especially the one named Kaedehara, are full of mysteries that he wants to explore.

However, Hattori felt that as long as he met Kudo, these mysteries could be solved together.

Thereupon...

After the tea party, Heiji Hattori left for Osaka.

Conan was happy to have his bed back.

The next day, he even took the initiative to invite everyone from the detective group to play football together, trying to get back to the last time on Kaedehara.

Kaedehara didn't use any more physical abilities beyond the level of elementary school students, so everyone returned to the same running line, winning and losing each other, and Conan regained his self-confidence.

However, Conan didn't have to be happy for long.

Because until Saturday, he didn't figure out how to deal with Xiaolan.

Seeing Ran go out to meet Sonoko Suzuki, Ran's best friend, Conan thought that there were only ten hours left before the agreed time, and he couldn't think about anything else, so he went all the way to Dr. Kaedehara and Dr. Asasa to discuss with Dr. Kaedehara and Dr. Asasa.

However, he was just lying on the bed that Dr. Asasa had placed in the living room, and was about to speak to Dr. Asasa and Kaedehara, when he noticed Kaedehara making a quiet gesture.

What's wrong?

Conan was stunned for a moment, then heard a shrill siren.

"What the hell!" Hattori Heiji pushed open the door with his left hand, covering half of his ear with his right hand, "Isn't it just that I sneaked in last time, so it's not just for this security alarm, right?" ”

"You can knock on the door first."

The sound of the alarm quickly lifted, and Kaedehara pointed out the solution.

"That's because I just saw this little imp come in!" Hattori Heiji said stiffly, "By the way, Doctor, this is for you-my mom made a snack," Hattori Heiji said hello to Dr. Asasa, took out a beautifully packaged box from his bag and handed it over, Dr. Asa looked surprised, "I'm just a little ghost with this little ghost-"

"Wait, why is it okay for him to just push the door in?"

Heiji Hattori pointed at Conan and asked Kaedehara.

Conan was also a little curious.

"Well, ahem," Dr. Asa cleared his throat as he put aside his thoughts for a snack for a moment, "this is my new invention, the height alarm, which can sound the alarm when someone comes in without knocking!" Moreover, a child who is about the same height as Conan will not trigger the alarm if he pushes the door directly in. How's that, awesome, right? ”

"Uhhhh ”

"By the way, why are you here again?" Conan looked at Hattori with an unhappy expression. Although Kudo Shinichi's identity was not revealed, Tokaedehara's Fuku, he didn't have to pretend to be a child in front of Hattori.

"Of course I miss you."

"Huh."

Conan rolled his eyes.

Of course, Heiji Hattori wanted to find Shinichi Kudo, who might appear at night, and by the way, he stared at Kaedehara and Conan so that they would not make small moves.

It's a pity that Shinichi Kudo himself also wants to find Shinichi Kudo who can appear on time.

I already had a headache for the night, and I had to deal with this guy Hattori, and Conan felt that his head hurt even more.

Hattori Heiji puts down his backpack, and Dr. Asasa pretends to be inventing, but in fact he goes to eat snacks.

At this time, the voice on the TV caught everyone's attention.

"According to reliable sources, a large quantity of explosives containing ammonium nitrate was stolen from an unknown person in the Toyo powder magazine the day before yesterday. At present, the police have dispatched hundreds of manpower to carry out relevant search work..."

"Oh, I've heard of that, too," Hattori sat down, "and it doesn't feel like a trivial matter. ”

"yes, if you fix that gunpowder in plastic, you can make a plastic bomb."

This little imp named Conan is also completely unpretended, Hattori Heiji thought speechlessly.

The phone rang suddenly.

Kaedehara turned off the sound of the TV, then got up to answer the phone.
