Conan: Another Famous Detective

"Something's wrong?" Xiaolan was confused.

"Yeah!" Heye said mysteriously, "Yesterday, he suddenly sneaked outside and called someone."

"I secretly... ah no, I just came to the door and heard some phone calls."

"He looked mysterious and said something like [Is it convenient to call you now], [Why refuse so easily! You won't die if you do it once], [Then you have to be careful] and so on."

Kazuya's expression became more solemn: "I suspect that the other end of the phone is probably a woman! Heiji must have been deceived by some vixen!"

Xiaolan was stunned when she heard this, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hey! Xiaolan, why are you laughing? This is a very serious problem!" Heye glared at Xiaolan angrily.

Xiaolan was glared at by Kazuo, so she reluctantly stopped her smile and said, "I'm sorry, Kazuye, it's just that maybe I know who Hattori was on the phone with yesterday."

"Eh?" He Ye was stunned.

Xiaolan didn't give in, and continued: "If I guess correctly, it should be Shinichi on the other end of the phone."

"Ah? Is that your childhood sweetheart?" Heye looked at Xiaolan with some suspicion: "But Xiaolan, how did you know?" ’

"Because it was Shinichi who called me and asked us to come over!" Xiaolan said with a smile:

"Shinichi said that Hattori called him and invited him to the reception, but he couldn't come because the case on hand was not resolved."

"But one of the organizers of this reception is his idol, so he asked me to come over and ask for an autograph."

"Is...is that so?" He Ye was still a little doubtful.

"Of course!" Xiaolan looked extremely certain.

After all, she was sitting next to him at the time!

"Besides, think about it..." Xiaolan suddenly approached Kazuya and showed a sly smile: "If Hattori is really the kind of person who is easily seduced by women, how is it possible that you are not together now?"

When He Ye heard this, an embarrassed blush suddenly appeared on his face: "That's right... that's true..."

"Right!" Xiaolan laughed.

Conan stood nearby, and although the two of them spoke relatively quietly, he still heard the whole thing.

The corner of his mouth twitched: "Xiaolan is good at coaxing people now..."

He Ye seemed to want to say something else, but at this moment, the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed.

The next moment, the lights in the stage area of ​​the venue came on. A host stood in the center of the lights and looked at the guests with a smile.

"Dear guests! Welcome to this cocktail party!"

"I think everyone has been waiting for a long time, so now let me formally introduce the protagonist of this cocktail party, who is the owner of this 3K World restaurant!"

The host turned slightly, raised his hand to indicate to the side of the stage, and said with a smile: "First of all, it's the invincible former world champion-Mr. Rica Barre!"

A large man with a round face and a mustache slowly walked to the center of the stage.

"oh!"

"Clatter, crash, crash!"

There was a burst of screams and applause from the audience.

The host continued to introduce amidst the noise of the guests: "Next, the 160kg Western Prize pitcher - Mr. Mike Nord!"

A middle-aged man with a long face walked onto the stage.

"Finally, there is the famous goalkeeper known as the Iron Fortress of Europe - Mr. Ray Catis!"

A man with light brown hair came to the center of the stage waving.

Conan looked at Recatis with bright eyes, and he couldn't help being surprised: "It's really him!"

At this time, Xiaolan suddenly squatted down and whispered: "Well, because of what I just said to He Ye, I will go up and ask for your signature later, right?"

Conan was slightly stunned. After hesitating for two seconds, he smiled and nodded: "Yeah! Okay, but I still want to take a photo with Lei."

"Well, I'll help you fight for it then!" Xiaolan said with a smile.

Hattori Heiji also bent down and smiled at Conan: "How about it, you didn't come in vain this time, did you?"

"Well! It was a worthwhile trip, no, it was a huge profit!" Conan's tone was full of uncontrollable excitement.

Seeing Conan's heartfelt smile of joy, Xiaolan couldn't help but smile tenderly.

On the stage, the three well-known athletes briefly said hello and seemed to have a very close relationship.

At this time, the host walked up to the three of them and said with a smile: "Then let's ask you a few questions!"

"First of all..." the host looked at the card in his hand and said, "Why did they choose to open this restaurant in Japan?"

The host came to Ray Katis, repeated the question in English, and then handed the microphone to Ray Katis.

Ray Katis took the microphone and said with a smile: "The reason why we chose to open a restaurant in Japan is because Japan can also be said to be the second hometown of the three of us."

Ray Katis said this in very standard Japanese, which caused many guests to exclaim.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but be surprised: "So he can still speak Mandarin?"

On the stage, Ray Katis continued: "My wife and Mike's wife are both locals. As for Rika, it is because of her love for ninjas and samurai."

Rika Barre on the side closed her eyes after hearing this and made a ninja seal gesture.

However, the originally very cool moves made by his somewhat bloated body not only lacked beauty, but were actually a bit funny.

When the guests in the audience saw this scene, they couldn't help but burst into good-natured laughter.

The host waited for the laughter to subside and then continued to ask: "So, does the [K] in 3K Restaurant mean the king?"

Ray Katis smiled and said: "No, you are wrong. The first K is Knockout, which is the K of [K O]."

As he spoke, he glanced at Rika Barre, and the meaning was self-evident.

"As for the second K, it's Strikeout, which is the K for strikeout in baseball."

Apparently, this is a reference to baseball player Mike Nord.

"And the third K is Goalkeeper, which refers to the goalkeeper."

This obviously refers to Ray Katis himself.

"That's it!" The host made a cooperating expression of realization.

"Hey! You seem to have forgotten to say K? Lei."

A voice that did not doubt the good intentions suddenly sounded from the audience.

Under the gaze of countless guests, a short, fat, middle-aged man wearing glasses slowly approached the stage.

"There is only one word to describe people like you who pollute Japan with scandals." The man smiled sarcastically: "It's Dirty K!"

As soon as Ray Katis saw this man, his face immediately became extremely gloomy, and he scolded in English: "Keep your mouth clean and get out!"

"Hey! What is he yelling about?" Rika Barre asked in English.

Seeing this, the man replied calmly in English: "It's you who should be careful about your words and deeds, right?"

Then, the man turned to Japanese and said: "I am a customer who came to our store with an invitation letter! Although I don't know who invited me."

The man said, taking out an invitation letter from his arms, showing it provocatively in front of the three bosses, and then continued in a mocking tone:

"No matter who invited me, I am very grateful to him, because I like eating sushi very much! Hahaha!"

After the man finished speaking, he laughed and turned around and left.
