Chapter 409 Accepting Hattori Heiji’s Invitation (Ch 409)

When Shimoda Kohei acted on his own, everyone knew it was dangerous, so they kept trying to persuade him. Unfortunately, Shimoda Kohei didn’t listen.

Unexpectedly, the police reported his death in a car accident so quickly. Conan asked: “Could he have been killed by someone?”

“I don’t know yet, but there is indeed such a possibility.” Megure replied, “I will contact the traffic police and investigate this matter carefully.”

Previously, the traffic police thought that Shimoda Kohei’s death was just an ordinary car accident, but now that Inspector Megure knows that he may be the person the murderer wants to kill, things have become different.

Mochizuki was not worried about the police investigation. No matter how the police investigated, the result would be that he died in a car accident. Because Shimoda Kohei really died in a car accident, but he was controlled by Mochizuki and the accident happened on his own initiative.

…

Since no one in the villa was suspected of committing a crime, the police let them go. Since there was no car, the police arranged a police car to take them to the station.

Mochizuki and others were sitting in Officer Takagi’s car.

Xiaolan was still concerned about the case, so she asked Takagi, “Officer Takagi, did Mr. Shimoda and Mr. Sugiyama really kill their students three years ago?”

“I’m afraid there is no evidence for this matter.” Gao Mu said what he knew, “But the illegal enrollment can be investigated. If those two teachers really did this, they would definitely leave clues.”

As long as the fact that 450 was illegally enrolled is confirmed, it is almost certain that the two teachers killed Minako Mochizuki.

“The murderer called the landline in the lobby before. As long as we check the call records, we should be able to find out the murderer’s identity, right?” Conan also raised his own questions.

Takagi replied, “We have checked the call records, but the murderer did not use his own number to call, but the first victim, Shunji Sugiyama’s phone number, so this clue is useless.”

Conan couldn’t help but wonder, it seems that the murderer is bold and careful at the same time, and he had already considered how to counter-detect.

…

In the next few days, everything was calm and the temperature returned to normal. A few days ago, it was still snowing and the north wind was howling, but in the blink of an eye it became summer. I have become accustomed to this strange weather.

On this day, Mochizuki, who was doing nothing, received a call from Hattori Heiji – they had left each other’s contact information when they met last time.

“Mochizuki, are you free tomorrow?” Hattori Heiji invited on the phone, “Would you like to come to Osaka? Osaka is full of human touch, which is much more interesting than cold Tokyo.”

Mochizuki had already sensed Hattori Heiji’s human touch. “Did you only invite me?”

“Uh, this… I also invited Uncle Mori, and Kudo… Conan.” This change of words was quite smooth. After all, the first pronunciation of Conan is ko, and the first pronunciation of Kudo is ku, which sound quite similar at first glance.

“I’ll go if Xiaolan goes.” Mochizuki answered. If Xiaolan didn’t go, there was really no need for Mochizuki to waste time with Hattori Heiji. He was not like Conan who was interested in being gay with Heiji.

After Mochizuki said this, Xiaolan called him. Mochizuki hung up Heiji’s call and answered Xiaolan’s call instead. Answering the second call without hanging up the first call is a common feature on smartphones.

“Wangyue, are you free tomorrow?” Xiaolan’s sweet voice came from the phone.

Mochizuki asked back, “Are you asking me if I’m going to Osaka?”

“Huh? How do you know? Oh, it was Hattori-kun who called you, right?” Xiaolan quickly understood.

“Yes. Do you want to go? If you go, I will go.”

Mochizuki’s words made Xiaolan feel sweet, “I kind of want to go, because I haven’t seen Heye for a long time.”

“Okay, I’ll go with you, too.”

After talking to Xiaolan, Mochizuki continued to talk to Hattori Heiji and agreed to go to Osaka to play tomorrow.

…

The next day, at the station in Osaka. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

A young girl with a high ponytail was standing on tiptoe and looking around. Suddenly, she seemed to see something, her face lit up with joy, and she raised her hand and waved, “Xiaolan, this way!”

The girl was Toyama Kazuha, and Hattori Heiji stood beside her with his hands in his pockets, the two of them welcoming Mochizuki and his party. ——Mochizuki and Xiaolan set out in the morning and finally arrived in Osaka before noon.

“He Ye, long time no see!” Xiaolan ran to He Ye happily and held He Ye’s hands.

“Yeah, I miss you too.” He Ye smiled happily, and Mochizuki didn’t know when their relationship became so good. Sure enough, the relationship between girls became better and faster in the blink of an eye.

However, being friends with a girl as considerate as Xiaolan, it is hard for the relationship between the two to go bad.

“Hello, long time no see, Gong…Conan.” He usually greeted Conan with a smile, but almost called out Conan’s real name, which scared Conan and made him at a loss.

Conan raised his head and glanced at Mochizuki, feeling relieved: Fortunately, Hattori Heiji changed his words in time, and Mochizuki didn’t seem to notice.

In fact, Conan’s little secrets had long been exposed by Mochizuki.

Heiji greeted Mochizuki again, “Mochizuki, why are there only three of you? Where’s Uncle Mori?”

Mochizuki replied, “He just happened to receive a commission to investigate an affair, so he didn’t come.”

“Oh? That’s really… a pity.” Heiji was very happy because he could now have nothing to worry about with Conan. “I have already made plans for you to eat, drink and have fun along the way. Let’s go, I’ve asked the driver to wait for us outside the station.”

…

Several people walked towards the station exit, and Heiji tentatively asked Mochizuki, “I heard that you are dating Mori, is it true?” The Mori that Heiji mentioned is Xiaolan.

He Ye seemed to have heard of this for the first time, and asked in surprise, “Xiao Lan, is this true?” Last time at Moriyuan Mansion, He Ye saw that Xiao Lan liked Mochizuki, and he didn’t expect that they would get together so soon.

Xiaolan nodded shyly.

He Ye was sincerely happy for Xiaolan, “Congratulations!”

Xiaolan asked quietly, “How are you and Hattori now?”

He Ye got angry when this matter was mentioned, “Heiji is such an idiot. I’ve hinted at him like that, but he didn’t react at all. He keeps saying kudo kudo all the time.”

Xiaolan was speechless, and recalled her past relationship with Kudo Shinichi. She used to think that all boys were like this, until she met Mochizuki, she found that it was not the case.

He Ye lowered his voice, “Xiao Lan, can you tell me how you took down Mochizuki?”

“Captured Wangyue?” Xiaolan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “To be precise, how was I captured by Wangyue…”

“Ah?” He Ye was surprised, “So he was the one who took the initiative?”
