Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 408 Chance Encounter

"Oh? Is this the Meiji Jingu Shrine? It's quite spectacular!" Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up as he looked at the magnificent and retro palace complex in front of him.

"Well, it is said that making wishes here is very effective!" Xiaolan said with a smile.

"Then let's go in and take a look!" He Ye said with anticipation.

After several people bought the tickets, they entered the scenic spot.

Although this place has long been famous, Yu Gongming has never been here once since time travel.

On the one hand, he is busy with various cases, and on the other hand, he himself does not believe in Shinto and has no particularly strong intention to visit such a shrine.

But after all, Meiji Jingu Shrine is also one of the largest shrines in Japan. Now that he is here, Akira Hanomiya is more interested in visiting it.

Meiji Jingu Shrine has three approaches: south, north and west. Akira Hanomiya and his party entered from the south approach.

A few people walked along and admired the towering trees on both sides of the shrine. At the intersection of the north and south shrines, they took a photo with the Otorii, the largest wooden Myojin Torii in Japan.

Finally, several people stopped in front of a money box in the shrine square.

After Hattori Heiji went through a set of prayer procedures, he finally threw a few coins in through the cracks in the cash box.

He turned to look at He Ye: "He Ye, do you want to come and make a wish with the gods to make your legs thinner?"

When He Ye heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "You don't need to meddle in other people's business!"

Mouri Kogoro looked around boredly, and paused slightly when his eyes glanced at Xiaolan.

He looked at Xiaolan in confusion: "Xiaolan, why did you change the clothes your mother gave you?"

"Because I sweated a lot when I was shopping just now!" Xiaolan explained with a smile.

When Heye heard the conversation between the Maori women, he felt even more sorry for Xiaolan.

She leaned slightly closer to Xiaolan and whispered: "I'm sorry, Xiaolan..."

Xiaolan turned around and smiled back: "They all said it's fine!"

At this time, a young woman wearing a light blue dress and a small white coat came next to Hattori Heiji and began to pray and make wishes.

The girl was very beautiful and exuded a soft and delicate temperament. Hattori Heiji couldn't help but take a second look at her.

"Eh? Isn't this Heiji?" A rich male voice suddenly sounded from behind several people.

The group of people looked in the direction of the sound, and Hattori Heiji suddenly showed surprise: "It's Uncle Shigematsu!"

A middle-aged man in a suit with a kind face walked towards a few people.

He smiled at Hattori Heiji: "I didn't expect to see you here, I thought you were already home!"

"Who is this?" Akira Hanomiya looked at Hattori Heiji.

"Ah! He is the butler Shigematsu who works at my mother's classmate's house. We are going to their house to attend the wedding this time." Hattori Heiji explained.

"Hello everyone, my surname is Chongsong." Butler Chongsong nodded politely.

"So why did Uncle Shigematsu come here?" Hattori Heiji asked.

Butler Chongsong raised his hand to signal the young girl who made a wish just now: "I came specifically to accompany her."

"Oh? So she is..." Hattori Heiji looked at the girl in surprise.

"Yes, she is Miss Xiaofeng who will marry Master Juren tomorrow!"

The girl turned around and nodded slightly towards the people: "Please give me your advice. My name is Kaede Katagiri."

"Hello." Hattori Heiji nodded in return.

He looked at Butler Chongsong again and asked doubtfully: "But why don't you let your young master accompany her?"

"I did find our young master before." Butler Shigematsu explained.

"Actually, this is all my fault..." Kaedong Kaede took over what Butler Shigematsu said:

"I wanted to come and see Tokyo Tower on a whim."

"Because our young master has had a severe fear of heights since he was a child, so..." When Butler Shigematsu said this, his meaning was already very clear.

"So that's it." Hattori Heiji nodded in understanding.

Butler Shigematsu looked at Kaedong Kaede and asked, "Miss Xiaofeng, what wish did you make to the gods?"

"I pray to God to keep the baby safe." Kaedong Kaede closed his eyes slightly and made a sincere prayer expression.

"Eh? Baby?" Conan couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at Katagiri Kaede's flat belly.

"You really can't tell from her appearance." Hattori Heiji also said.

"Hey, don't get me wrong, you two!" Meng Yu glanced at the two famous detectives speechlessly:

“Just because someone makes a wish for the baby’s safety, it doesn’t mean that she is pregnant!”

"That is to say, a girl's heart is very complicated before she gets married!" He Ye nodded.

"Yes, everyone will have pre-marital syndrome!" Xiaolan also agreed.

Several girls looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Conan and Hattori Heiji suddenly felt very embarrassed.

"Ah! By the way, before I ask, these guys are..." Steward Shigematsu looked at Hanomiya Akira and his friends.

"Oh, these are all my friends..." Hattori Heiji introduced several people to Butler Shigematsu one by one.

After listening to Hattori Heiji's introduction, Butler Shigematsu glanced at Akira Hanomiya and Kogoro Mori twice, and immediately clapped his hands and said:

"No wonder I always thought I had seen two famous detectives somewhere. It turned out to be a famous detective in person. It's really rude. Speaking of which, last time on the Suzuki Consortium's Sallybeth, my husband and I also saw two famous detectives from a distance. Such style!”

"Oh? I didn't expect that there would be such a fate! Hahaha!" Mouri Kogoro suddenly showed a proud expression.

"Uncle, what are you so proud of? You were just trying to make fun of the whole incident, right?" Yu Gongming complained in his heart.

He couldn't be as shameful as Uncle Maori, so he smiled at Butler Shigematsu very reservedly and said: "Your master is able to board the Sallybeth. He must be an extraordinary person. However, he was busy with business at the time and did not have the opportunity to meet him. Pity."

Butler Shigematsu waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Where, who doesn't know that Detective Hanomiya and Detective Mori are entrusted by Mrs. Suzuki to protect the heirlooms of the Suzuki Consortium? The last two lived up to their trust and successfully foiled Kaitou Kid's conspiracy. My husband has always admired these two famous detectives very highly!"

"Why don't we all come to our home with Heiji? I think the master will be very happy after seeing these two famous detectives!"

"Um, will this... be too intrusive?" Mouri Kogoro declined.

"It doesn't matter, you are also Heiji's friends, just treat it as if you were invited to attend tomorrow's wedding together." Butler Shigematsu said with a smile.

"In this case, we have to be respectful rather than obey orders!" Mouri Kogoro immediately laughed.

It seemed that his excuse just now was just a show.

"Want to go?" Yu Gongming looked at Meng Yu.

Meng Yu smiled: "You decide."

Yu Gongming nodded and looked at Butler Shigematsu: "Then I'll excuse you."

Butler Shigematsu raised his hand and looked at his watch; "It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and Miss Xiaofeng doesn't have any other arrangements. Shall we go there now?"

"Okay, we've almost finished shopping today." Hattori Heiji nodded.

After the few people reached an agreement, they got into the SUV and followed Butler Shigematsu's car to the mansion where Butler Shigematsu served.
