"Who knew you would have such a severe cold?"
Hattori Heiji spread his hands, "So, when you were unconscious, I also told Sarada-nii about this."
Is this why you open and read other people’s letters at will? Especially you, a black guy! I will definitely open it and read it as soon as I get it...
Conan curled his lips and complained: "If I hadn't accidentally met a few people with Brother Gengyi during this period, and knew his attitude, I was almost deceived by you. He must have rejected you, right?"
With so many things happening recently, you still want to let Brother Geng, a 'scientific researcher', go out to investigate?
That's not to say it's impossible, but it definitely takes a long time to persuade him...
So no matter what, these two people couldn't discuss the contents of the letter while they were already in a fever and coma.
He explained his reasoning.
Hattori Heiji shook his head and said: "No, Sarada-chan just read the letter while heating the hot water and agreed before going out to buy medicine."
"Eh???"
Conan was stunned.
What are we talking about...are they the same brother Geng Yi? Or is he just treating me badly...
No, it’s impossible, right?
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Conan couldn't figure it out, so he checked the envelope and letter back and forth several times, but still didn't find any clues, so he had to ask:
"Hattori, are you sure Sarada-chan agreed after just reading the letter? Did you say anything else to him?"
"I didn't say anything."
Hattori Heiji briefly recalled and said:
"Brother Genichi asked me why I came to Yoneka Town. I didn't know what happened to you at the time, so I had to tell him about the letter first. Then Brother Genichi said, 'Since you can't contact Kudo Arata, One, then I’ll go with you tomorrow’…”
"He, he said it on his own initiative?"
Conan was even more confused.
As Kudo Shinichi, I have only met Brother Sarada a few times.
"High School Detective", "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era", "Savior of the Japanese Police", these names should not have such a big reputation for Brother Genichi...
Didn’t you see that Detective Hakuba and Hattori Heiji, two high school students and the sons of high-ranking police officials, were destined to be crushed?
Just thinking about it.
Suddenly there was a sound of opening the door from the entrance.
"Hattori, please cooperate with me and ask questions later."
Conan lowered his voice, hurriedly lay down, and used the blind spot of the sofa to hand the letter back to Hattori Heiji.
"How is he?" Ye Gengyi came over and asked.
"Brother Gengyi...ahem..."
Conan's voice showed obvious weakness: "I'm causing trouble for you... um..."
He originally wanted to use the case of the 'Paper Plane Monster' as an entry point, bring out Kudo Shinichi who was on the phone with Mao Lilan, and then talk about the situation in Ousui Village.
As a result, he saw that in the shopping bag Ye Gengyi put on the coffee table, in addition to cold medicine and antipyretic medicine, there was also a bag of coffee with a new flavor label...
Drop by? Yes, I must have bought it on the way... Conan comforted himself.
"Have you had lunch?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"No." They both shook their heads.
"Eat some toast first to cushion your stomach, and I'll help you heat it up."
As soon as Ye Geng walked to the kitchen, he did not forget to remind him: "Heiji, go to the bathroom and wash your hands. There is anti-viral hand sanitizer on the bottom of the cabinet near the back."
Conan: "..."
Wouldn't regular hand sanitizer work?
Hattori Heiji:"……"
For a moment, I didn’t know who Geng Yi was complaining about...
…
After the two of them had eaten this simple lunch.
Ye Gengyi sat across from the sofa with a new flavor of coffee, and then asked about the reason for Conan's coma.
Although there seemed to be something wrong with this step for Conan, in order to avoid missing the opportunity, he still selectively recounted the story of the 'Paper Plane Monster'.
Of course, in the description, the person who unlocked the code was naturally Kudo Shinichi, and he was just a younger brother who was worried that Xiaolan would be harmed after knowing the situation.
As for Hattori Heiji, we met by chance, so just tell the truth...
Conan took the antipyretic medicine and felt that his mental state had recovered a lot. Before he could think of the right words, he brought up the topic of the letter.
I saw Ye Geng took a sip of coffee, nodded and said:
"That's it. It seems that it is indeed necessary to investigate that Kudo Shinichi."
What?
This turn of events really shocked Conan. He was stunned for a while, then his lips moved a few times and he said:
"Brother Gengyi...what did you say?"
"Did Kudo-kun say that he was out investigating the case and couldn't get back to Mihua Town, so he asked you for help, right?" Ye Geng asked.
"Ah... um." Conan nodded with a stiff neck.
"Why don't you contact Mr. Mori directly?"
Ye Gengyi said: "He is Xiaolan's father and a famous detective. If it is just an ordinary minor problem, it can be understood, but when it comes to personal safety, is it a little too irresponsible to inform you, a primary school student, of the situation? "
"I...I..." Conan was confused for a while.
Sure enough, Brother Geng is worthy of being Brother Geng. Although he can accept that a primary school student has extraordinary wisdom, in this matter, there is really no way to explain why Kudo Shinichi didn't contact Xiaolan's father.
"Oh, actually..." Hattori Heiji couldn't help but start to speak.
You're just a quick talker... Ye Geng glanced at this black man and said first:
"He committed a crime, right?"
"ah?"
The atmosphere was silent again.
Ye Gengyi, who was satisfied with his bad taste, said: "Kudo Shinichi has become very low-key recently, hasn't he?"
Hello! Hattori, say something!
Conan looked wildly in that direction... He is now in the same camp as 'Kudo Shinichi', so he can explain for the other party? What if Brother Gengyi asks me to contact him now?
Oh...by the way, my phone is broken. so far so good……
Here, Hattori Heiji received the signal and quickly laid the groundwork: "Brother Saraichi, I think that guy who likes to show off and show off suddenly fell silent... Maybe he felt that he was too ostentatious and was worried about being retaliated against."
"oh?"
Ye Gengyi said without comment: "But Conan just said that the reason why he couldn't come back was because he was outside investigating the case."
"Yes, yes, brother Shinichi has become very low-key recently, hehe, hehehe..." Conan laughed dryly and said useless nonsense.
"So, I suspect that he may have committed a crime and hid deliberately."
Ye Gengyi looked at the letter in Hattori Heiji's hand and said: "Let's assume that what is said in the letter is true. Then Kudo Shinichi's reasoning is either wrong or there is an interest transaction with criminals. In this case, without any Until his innocence is proven, not only will he not be able to participate in the detection of other cases, but in serious cases he will be immediately sent to the local police station for investigation."
It's too bad, I took it for granted... I actually forgot that Brother Sarada and that guy Kudo are not familiar with each other at all.
Therefore, facing a famous detective whose attitude has changed 180°, it is completely reasonable to suspect him...
Hattori Heiji was ashamed: "Y-it shouldn't be enough."
If he had to choose, he would still prefer Kudo's reasoning. However, because Kudo Shinichi is a detective trusted by the police, his reasoning is also an important part of the final outcome of the case from a certain perspective. .
"don’t worry."
Ye Gengyi said: "Xiaolan's mother is a top lawyer. With Mr. Kudo Yusaku's financial resources and the relationship with the Suzuki Foundation, we can legally implement some rights and interests. I believe that he will be a good person after he comes out. "
"Well, be a good person?"
Is that Kudo guy in jail? Pfft... I don't know why, even though this topic is serious, Hattori Heiji just wants to laugh.
Hey hey...
Already knowing why Sarada-san agreed so readily, Conan, who went to Oho Village with Hattori, was very depressed.
...Does this treat me as a criminal?
It seems that as long as he doesn't die tomorrow, he must follow him!
