Chapter 342 Isn’t it too much fun to play with electricity?

Chapter 342: Electric current...is it too much fun?

"Well..."

Mouri Kogoro hesitated.

A sudden invitation from Hattori Heiji.

In fact, he was not very interested.

After all, as an adult, he still has a lot to do.

For example, betting on horse racing...

However, looking at the pity-loving beauty in front of him, Mouri Kogoro still vowed: "Leave this kid to me!"

"..."

Fujino glanced at Mouri Kogoro silently.

So Uncle Maori is still so open-minded.

There is no resistance at all to the beauty's request.

Hattori Shizuka nodded, feeling relatively reassured about Fujino and Mouri Kogoro.

…………

It was already very late, and although Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha had already brought their luggage, Fujino and his party did not know that they were going on a trip.

Helpless, they could only let the two of them and Shizuka Hattori stay in Shizuoka for one night. Fujino took Mori and his family back to Tokyo, and took the Shinkansen to Fukuoka to meet up the next day, and then headed to the destination of Fukui Prefecture together. .

Shizuka Hattori did not go to Fukui with the group. After arriving at the starting point of Nagoya, she separated from the others and took the Shinkansen back to Osaka.

However, before leaving, she still worriedly told Hattori Heiji: "When you are with Mr. Mori and Fujino-kun, you must be honest and don't cause trouble."

"What do you mean I'm causing trouble..."

Hattori Heiji was speechless.

It was obvious that every trouble was caused by Fujino and Kudo.

He just went along!

Why do you listen to the tone of my mother...

Is he himself the one causing the trouble?

"It's just because of your frizzy look that I'm worried..."

Hattori Shizuka was a little helpless about her son.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and she walked forward slowly, leaned into Hattori Heiji's ear and said, "Also, don't bully that kid Fujino..."

"ha?!"

Hattori Heiji was surprised: "Obasan, what are you talking about?"

What do you mean he bullied that kid Fujino?

Fujino is still a child, a naughty child like that?

And he has never bullied that guy. What is bullying?

Recalling some things from the past, Hattori Heiji felt his throat was a little tight.

"Um?"

Hattori Shizuka's face turned slightly serious, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes became colder.

"Oh oh oh!"

Hattori Heiji shuddered and nodded repeatedly.

"It's not easy for that Fujino kid. He has to live on his own without his family. It's a lot harder than you. If someone is sincere to you, you can't bully them all the time..."

Hattori Jinghua's expression remained unchanged and she reached out and patted Hattori Heiji's shoulder: "Anyway, just understand. Last time you had a car accident, wasn't someone helping to reconnect the bones? Even if you are incompetent, you can't do anything ungrateful. Talking bad about people behind their backs.”

"Obviously you didn't follow me to the hospital last time...how on earth did you know?"

Hattori Heiji automatically ignored the previous paragraph and complained secretly in his heart.

Fujino, who was listening furtively on the side, nodded secretly, feeling secretly in his heart that Aunt Jinghua was kind-hearted and able to understand his good intentions.

"Um?"

Hattori Shizuka seemed to feel something, and looked at Hattori Heiji with a frown, as if he already knew what the other person was thinking.

The momentum around him has also risen by more than one level.

"I see!"

Hattori Heiji couldn't believe it and looked at his mother whose momentum was soaring, feeling speechless for a while.

Is this really my mother?

Why are your elbows turned outward?

"As long as you know……"

Hattori Shizuka's face relaxed a lot. After thinking about it, she suddenly asked: "By the way, do you know what Hokage is?"

"Hokage?"

Hattori Heiji who heard the sound was also a little confused.

He hadn't heard of the term either.

After thinking about it, he asked hesitantly: "What does Hokage... mean?"

"It's nothing...it's just a word I heard by chance. I felt it might be a popular word among you young people, so I mentioned it."

Seeing that his son didn't know what Hokage meant, Shizuka Hattori did not continue to ask.

"Ding bell! The train from Nagoya to Osaka is about to leave. Passengers on this train are asked to board as soon as possible."

At this time, the station's announcement suddenly sounded.

"OK OK!"

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji hurriedly tugged at Hattori Shizuka's clothes: "Since you know that you are no longer a young man, go home quickly, Obasan."

"..."

Hattori Shizuka stepped away and sighed, feeling a little tired.

Obviously, when I was a child, I would listen to her in everything, but now I am always talking about Obasan.

Why does your personality become worse as you grow older?

Is it because of adolescent rebellion?

"In that case, I will leave it to you and Heiheji!"

Turning around and greeting everyone politely, Shizuka Hattori fixed his eyes on Fujino, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes.

Originally she thought her son was being bullied by others.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that his son is bullying others.

I even came here specifically to play tricks on the orphans who were making a living...

Why do you feel a little guilty?

…………

Fukui, on the ferry to Mermaid Island.

The sea breeze blew slightly, and a small ferry sailed on the calm sea, with white ripples on both sides.

"Really!"

Mouri Kogoro leaned on the guardrail next to the boat, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and looked at Hattori Heiji on the side with a resentful look: "You kid, won't you thank me? You suddenly came over without prior notice and said you were going to Fukui. Investigate some commission or something.”

"Haha, what does it matter..."

Hattori Heiji smiled, "Anyway, I'm paying for this trip, so you can just treat it as a trip...and if so, I've told my boss...Conan in advance.

"Aha?"

Conan, who was also leaning on the guardrail next to him, was suddenly startled, and the yawn he was yawning was swallowed back.

"I don't even know if it's good or not."

Mouri Kogoro glanced at Conan: "What's the use of talking about this kind of thing to an unreliable kid..."

Conan smiled helplessly.

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Hattori Heiji with a resentful look.

It's your treat, why did you bring this matter to me?

"I'm fine."

Mouri Kogoro looked at Fujino aside: "The main reason is that Brother Fujino drove back to Tokyo all night, went to bed after one o'clock in the morning, and had to get up early the next morning to take the Shinkansen... Brother Fujino must not have even slept, right? ?”

"That's not true. It's just a normal routine."

Fujino looked at the sea and sky.

"Normal daily routine?"

Mouri Kogoro raised his eyebrows: "Brother Fujino, what time do you usually go to bed?"

"Around twelve o'clock, sometimes one o'clock...and then sleep until four or five o'clock the next morning."

Teng responded calmly.

Speaking of which, he only needs three or four hours of sleep every day, which is actually enough.

At the extreme end of the day, you can regain your energy for the whole day in just two hours.

"That won't work."

Mouri Kogoro was a little worried: "It's easy to die suddenly if you sleep four or five hours a day... How about you catch up on your sleep when you get to the place later?"

"No."

Fujino waved his hand: "I'm usually like this, I have enough energy."

"That's good……"

Mouri Kogoro nodded, turned to Hattori Heiji and asked curiously: "But then again, kid, you just said it was an island in Fukui, but which island are we going to?"

"It is an isolated island located in several narrow bays in the sea, called American Island."

Hattori Heiji looked serious: "And the locals call it...the island where mermaids live."

"An island where mermaids live?"

Mouri Kogoro took a puff of the cigarette and rarely became interested: "So is there a beautiful mermaid on it?"

"Well..."

Hattori Heiji smiled helplessly: "I heard that there was an old woman on that island who ate mermaid meat and became immortal. That's where the name came from."

"I've heard of that island!"

At this time, Xiaolan, who was chatting enthusiastically with another of her best friends, came over.

Xiaolan was wearing a white turtleneck sweater and a small green suit. When she heard a few people mention the Mermaid Island, she suddenly mentioned with interest: "Is she the immortal old woman who was all the rage three years ago? "

"I heard that too."

Toyama Kazuha on the side was also very interested, squinted his eyes and smiled: "I also wanted to see the rumors on this island, so I thought about coming over with Heiji. If I can keep myself young forever If it’s beautiful, that would be great…”

"Yes!"

Xiaolan suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "Use your youth and beauty to make Hattori fall under your pomegranate skirt..."

"Hey!"

He Ye suddenly panicked: "You can't speak so loudly!"

"You are obviously still very young now, right?!"

Conan glanced at Xiaolan and Heye who were gossiping and felt speechless.

But he didn't expect that Xiaolan and Heye actually believed in immortality or something like that.

Are little girls really easy to deceive?

If you really could live forever...

etc?

Thinking of this, Conan was suddenly stunned, and his pupils dilated slightly: "Isn't this why I'm rejuvenated?!"

"Mermaids and the like are really boring things. If you ask me, they are not as interesting as nuns who have lived for eight hundred years."

Mouri Kogoro was a little disappointed, and his original interest dropped.

He thought the mermaid was a pretty sister wearing a kimono and having a fish tail on her lower body.

I didn't expect it to be an old lady...

He took a deep breath from the cigarette and looked a little melancholy: "Could it be that the client this time initiated the commission just because he wanted to see the so-called mermaid, and then you dragged me over to look for it, right? Let me tell you first, I’m too lazy to do this stupid job of finding a mermaid.”

"No!"

Hattori Heiji decisively refused: "If it were such a request, even I would think it was a joke."

"Completely contrary to wanting to find the mermaid, the letter this time the client wrote to me only contained a short sentence: 'I am about to be killed by the mermaid, please save me!' Such a paragraph was written with trembling handwriting. "

"Mermaid?!"

"Killed!"

The other people were slightly stunned.

"Menxie yarn weaving."

Fujino's expression on the side remained unchanged, and he suddenly spoke.

"ah?"

Hattori Heiji was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly asked: "Fujino, how did you know the client's name?"

"Isn't this a simple thing?"

Fujino turned his head and looked at Hattori Heiji as if he were a fool: "Isn't the client allowed to send a commission letter to two detectives?"

"Did she also send you a letter of entrustment?"

Hattori Heiji was surprised.

"Yes, not only the commission letter, but also a meeting."

Fujino nodded slightly: "I even paid the commission a few days ago. Strictly speaking, she should be my client."

"Then do you know where she is now?!"

Hattori Heiji suddenly said excitedly: "She left her contact information, but when I called, although the other end of the phone was connected, there was a burst of women's voices, and there was a faint sound. There was a heavy, strange muffled sound, and even the sound of electricity... After that, the phone couldn't be connected at all, so I decided to come over and have a look."

"Is it possible that that person has been killed by the mermaid?!"

"What happened to her, Fujino-senpai?!"

Xiaolan and Kazuye both looked frightened and asked Fujino curiously.

The cigarette in Mouri Kogoro's hand shook and fell directly into the sea.

Why do you feel that Hattori's description is a bit inappropriate?

Electric current...it’s too much fun to play with, isn’t it?

"Well..."

Fujino thought for a moment: "She was kidnapped in broad daylight on the day she came to Tokyo and asked me to go back."

"Kidnapped??"

Hattori Heiji was a little surprised.

This is the first time he has encountered a client being kidnapped.

Of course, he usually doesn't have any entrustments.

Conan also looked serious after hearing this, and began to think secretly in his heart.

After being told, he was killed by the mermaid and then kidnapped.

There must be a conspiracy behind this!

"Hey!"

Hattori Heiji couldn't sit still: "You already knew that she was kidnapped. Didn't you investigate?"

"Of course we investigated. After all, I am also the criminal police consultant of the Criminal Department, and she is also my client. I rushed to the scene of the crime as soon as possible and shared the information with the police."

"I see. If that's the case, did you find out anything?"

"Absolutely not."

Hattori Heiji:"……"

You still haven't checked?

With your skills, you can probably get the person back on the same day!

Fujino's dull eyes narrowed slightly and looked at the sea.

Of course he didn't investigate.

Can we still investigate this matter?

Can he still say that the client was kidnapped and the murderer was himself?

As for the previous phone call, it should have been the one he received when he was working on the prisoner awakening, repentance, and rehabilitation project.

It's just that Hattori's description is a bit strange...

It is obvious that he is carrying out a mermaid transformation project. It is a very serious job and the people being transformed are very happy. Why do you say it so harshly?
