Conan and Hattori Heiji left the room, and Xiaolan said strangely: "Xiaoxiu, why don't you go out with me?"
"I had already gone out for a walk before you guys came," Situ Xiu said with a slight smile.
"Um, Hongzi, why are you and Xiaoxiu here?"
Xiaolan turned to Koizumi Hongzi and said.
"It's Mr. Nagato's birthday and we were invited here."
Koizumi Anko responded.
"So that's it..."
Xiaolan and Koizumi Anko chatted quietly, Hattori Heizo and Mori Kogoro chatted with Nagato Dosan, and only Situ Xiu listened.
.....
On the other side, Hattori Heiji and Conan went to the villa to ask the servants about some things.
When the two met, Conan said, "What did you ask about?"
"Those people said it was normal. It was the same as usual during this period. There was nothing wrong."
Hattori Heiji pinched his chin and said: "I only found out about some people in this family. Mr. Nagato has three children. The eldest daughter, Nobuko Nagato, is the fierce woman just now. She is not married yet at the age of 39.
The second son, Nagato Hidetomi, 36 years old, suffered burns on his face while saving people in a fire 20 years ago. He has been staying at home and rarely leaving the bedroom. He only writes as a hobby.
The third daughter, Nagato Yasue, is already married, and her son-in-law, Nagato Mitsuomi, is said to be a classmate of Nagato Hidetomi, so that’s probably all.”
"I've learned about the same thing as you."
Conan nodded, and then said: "But a little more than you. I heard that the woman Nagato Hidetomi rescued was Hinata Yuki, who is the secretary of Chairman Nagato. Moreover, I heard that Nagato Hidetomi has been eating more than usual recently. A little more and one sheet missing”.
"That's it..." The corner of Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched: "Maybe the recent food is more to my liking, and the servant must have remembered the bed sheets wrong. These are of no use, and there is nothing that can be found at all."
"There are still more than you..." Conan rolled his eyes: "Those people, as you said, didn't hear the sound of anyone running in the corridor at night."
"Wait..." Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other, and Conan said: "Speak first."
"The sound Mr. Nagato heard was from the corridor near him, which means it is not far from his room. Could it be that someone wanted to attack him, or that someone was preparing to attack the houses around Mr. Nagato's room? "People start"
As soon as Hattori Heiji finished speaking, Conan nodded and said, "As I thought, if there really wasn't a thief last night, then someone must have been planning something, and it was near Mr. Nagato's bedroom."
"Then let's check who lives in these houses."
Conan and Hattori Heiji went separately to inquire. Regarding the case that had not happened yet, they only had one clue that a suspected thief was running in the corridor. This alone would make it difficult to pursue further.
However, because of the bet, the two had to use all their strength to investigate.
....
Time passed little by little, and it was not until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon that Conan and Hattori Heiji returned to the bedroom on the third floor. When everyone saw that they were back, they continued chatting.
Situ Xin saw that the two of them looked calm, presumably because they found nothing suspicious. It seemed that there must be a case to make progress.
After a while, the bedroom door opened again. Everyone looked over and their expressions changed slightly. There was a man at the door wearing a hat and a bandage on his face, leaving only his eyes and mouth.
"Everyone, don't panic"
Nagato Dōsan appeased everyone, looked at the man at the door, and introduced: "This is the puppy Hideomi."
Nagato Hidetomi bowed slightly and did not speak. Nagato Douzan explained: "When I was in high school, my face was burned in a fire, and it has been like this ever since. In fact, with the current plastic surgery treatment, it should be more or less better, but he didn't." Refuse to...".
"That's true. That incident was a beginning..."
At this time, another man came to the door, patted Nagato Hideomi, smiled and said: "But this time it finally ended successfully, Hideomi."
Nagato Hideomi glanced at the man, turned and left without saying a word. The man frowned slightly and said, "Hey, why are you so angry?"
Everyone's expressions were different, and I always felt that the conversation between the two was a bit incomprehensible. The man walked to the bedside of Nagato Dosan, handed over a gift, and said with a smile: "Happy birthday, Dad, a small gift is not disrespectful."
"Thank you" Nagato Dōsan responded.
The man suddenly approached Nagato Douzan and said face to face: "On the contrary, if the chairman's throne is given to me now, I will be very happy."
"You..." Changmen Daosan frowned slightly.
"Dad, it was just a joke."
The man laughed loudly, turned and left the room.
Nagato Douzan said helplessly: "Everyone, I made you laugh. This is my son-in-law Nagato Guangming."
Everyone withdrew their gazes. Hattori Heizo raised his hand and looked at his watch and said: "...It's almost time for me to return to Osaka."
"ah..."
Nagato Dosan was slightly startled and said, "Aren't you going to stay and celebrate together tonight? And there's that thing...".
"Don't worry, I'll keep this guy to replace me..."
Hattori Heizo pointed to Hattori Heiji beside him and said: "Although he is still young, he has keen observation and should be able to help Mr. Mori."
"For Heiji, that's pretty good." Mouri Kogoro smiled.
"Hey, who is helping whom..." Conan chuckled, not daring to say this.
Hattori Heiji secretly complained. He wanted to say that there were still cases here and he must not leave. However, once his father made a decision, he would not change it.
“This family is really strange”
Koizumi Anko secretly thought, every child of the Nagato family ignored them when they came in, only Nagato Yasue said hello.
Hattori Heizo left, and Nagato Douzan took Mouri Kogoro to chat about parents again.
"Hongzi, do you want..."
Xiaolan whispered in Koizumi Hongzi's ear with an embarrassed look on her face.
"go together..."
Koizumi Hongzi smiled and nodded, and the two of them walked out of the room together.
"I just need to pee..." As soon as Situ Xiu had this idea, he was pulled aside by Hattori Heiji.
Conan pinched his chin and said, "It's strange to say that Nagato Hideomi was burned on his face. It's understandable that he was wearing a bandage, but he didn't say a word to Mr. Nagato and just bowed slightly outside."
"Yes, it's very strange."
Hattori Heiji nodded, and then said: "Nagato Mitsuomi is also very suspicious. The words he said to Nagato Hideomi are very strange. From the beginning to the end, I always feel that there is something in the words... Do you think these two people will be the same as yesterday?" It has something to do with the man running in the corridor at night."
"Hey hey..."
Situ Xiu had a dead eye: "If you want to say it's your business, don't hold me back."
"Let's discuss it together, don't you want to know?"
Hattori Heiji said strangely.
"In no mood..."
Situ Xiu refused and left the room in a hurry.
"Didn't you say he has detective talent?"
Hattori Heiji looked at Conan and said doubtfully.
"Maybe it's because we are here this time and he doesn't want to participate."
Conan laughed dryly.
