Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 318 Heiji will leave it to you

   Hattori Heiji was startled at first, then he was relieved when he realized that the "familiar person" was not Maorilan or Toyama Kazuha, but his mother.

  ...If it was those two female high school students, he was really afraid of being hit with a deadly combo of "Where are you going?" "We're going too", "By the way, bring Jiang Xia".

   Hattori Shizuka watched his son look like a thief, raised his folding fan and knocked on his back: "Stand straight."

  As Hattori Heiji straightened up, she looked at the luggage that Hattori Heiji was carrying in her hand, and the child in the other hand. She was silent for a moment, and asked with a little doubt, "Are you...?"

"I'm going to do a commission. It's the one from Ogasawara that I said before." Hattori Heiji knew that his mother just looked cold, but actually hurt him very much, so he looked at his watch and assuredly said, "I'll go first. , don't tell He Ye or Maori about it, wait until noon."

   Hattori Shizuka nodded, although he didn't understand why his son was hiding from the two girls.

  The structure of their family, in a sense, can be regarded as a strict father and mother, and Hattori Shizuka rarely interferes with Hattori Heiji's decisions.

   Hattori Heiji obviously knew this, he immediately took his bag and Conan and left with confidence.

   As long as Mom doesn't tell the truth, and when Mao Lilan and Yuan Shan and Ye find out that something is wrong, the boat should have left long ago, and the three of them won't be able to get on.

   That's right, three, because according to Hattori Heiji's intuition, once Mao Lilan or Yuan Shan and Ye know his next plan, these two ghosts will definitely turn around and tell Jiang Xia.

   As for Kudo... Although he is also a ghost, the ghost is more passive. Hattori Heiji thought for a while, analyzed rationally, and felt that if Conan hadn't been caught on the phone while on the phone, he probably wouldn't have betrayed himself in front of Jiang Xia.

  Conan was carried by Hattori Heiji and ran all the way. When he approached the end of the corridor, he looked back at the direction of the hotel room: "Is there really no problem with your mother?"

   "Of course, she's very trustworthy, but since she promised me not to say anything, she won't tell Kazuha and the others." Hattori Heiji felt ok.

  Conan nodded, but for some reason, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

   In addition, to be honest, although he wanted to solve the mystery and solve the case, he also wanted to go on a boat cruise with Mao Lilan... After all, it was nothing to bring Jiang Xia with him. This is just a commission, not a murder case...

  Conan sighed after thinking about it.

   If there is a next time, be sure to call Maolilan secretly.

  …

   After Heiji Hattori left with Conan, Shizuka Hattori looked back at his son's back, feeling a little uneasy.

   It's not that she doubted Hattori Heiji's survivability, but that she found that, looking at this situation, her son actually planned to take the little boy to handle the case.

  ...My son doesn't know how to take care of others at all, and it would be too sinful if he lost sight of other people's children.

   After hesitating for a moment, Hattori Shizuka unzipped her bag and started rummaging inside.

  Last night, after the Shibata family affair was over, Hattori Shizuka told Jiangxia and the others his true identity and the real purpose of entrusting him.

   Later, although Jiang Xia had something to leave, the boss of Jiang Xia Detective Agency stayed to accompany her to say a few words and answered some of her questions patiently.

   Hattori Shizuka learned that Jiang Xia was actually good at taking care of children. I heard that he once took two first-year children out alone, and he took them to the destination smoothly, and took good care of them.

   And now, Hattori Shizuka thought, since his son doesn't want to go out with two female classmates, and he can't take care of a six-year-old child himself, why don't he ask Jiang Xia if he is interested in that commission.

   If Jiang Xia also finds it interesting, just let them go on the boat together, so that they can not only exchange experience in solving cases, but also prevent accidents.

   Soon, Hattori Shizuka flipped through the bag and found what he was looking for.

   A business card.

   This was on the way from the office to Shibata's house yesterday. Jiang Xia took the initiative to hand it to her. It had the office's address, the office's landline number, and Jiang Xia's own mobile phone number.

   Hattori Shizuka looked at this simple-designed business card and nodded secretly: a very hardworking, rigorous and dedicated young man.

   These days, there are not many high school detectives who are willing to carry business cards with them. They all seem to think that it is too commercial and not compelling enough. Jiang Xia is very different.

   The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good boy, and he also felt that he understood the reason why Hattori Heiji avoided Jiang Xia-maybe it was Jiang Xia's formal way of doing things that put pressure on Heiji, an unruly detective.

   In short, after this visit to Tokyo, in matters related to Jiang Xia, Hattori Shizuka decided to support her husband between her son and her husband.

  —— Hattori Hizang is right, Jiang Xia does have a lot to learn.

  …

A few minutes later.

   In the port thousands of meters away, Jiang Xia's mobile phone shook.

   He pulled up the scarf a little, pressed the brim of his hat, took out his phone and glanced down.

   The number displayed on the screen is very unfamiliar, and the other party should be texting him for the first time.

   However, the person who wrote the letter kindly stated his identity at the beginning - the Hattori Shizuka whom he met yesterday.

   The simple greeting is followed by a string of detailed information:

  [A while ago, Heiji received an anonymous letter, the person who wrote the letter invited him to Ogasawara to investigate the case.

The letter did not write down the details of the entrustment, but contained ten old 10,000-yen banknotes. The person who wrote the letter said that as long as Heiji arrived at Tsushima Port at noon and showed the banknotes to the crew, the crew would let him board and head to Ogasawara. ship.

  I'm not worried about Heiji, but he seems to have brought a young child with him when he went to the commission this time...I wonder if you are interested in this mysterious commission. If I'm free, I'd like to get your next assignment to protect that child. Once Heiji is addicted to solving crimes, he will not be able to notice the surrounding environment. I am very worried that the child will get lost.

  …]

   Jiang Xia glanced at it and guessed the general situation.

   He quickly replied, expressing his willingness to accept this commission, and by the way complimented the son of Shizuka Hattori. And hinted that if this kind of thing happens again in the future, please don't worry too much, just look for him.

   After sending the text message and putting away the phone, Jiang Xia took out the old 10,000-yen banknotes he had found earlier and walked towards a long queue of boats.

  ——A few days ago, Jiang Xia saw a quiz event with prizes in the newspaper. The ad says that anyone who comes to the port today with "an important item that almost every Japanese person had in the Showa era" has a chance to take a free Ogasawara dolphin tour.

   It was the same person who published this advertisement in the newspaper and who wrote to Hattori Heiji anonymously.
