Itake Karuta speculated that Conan wanted to see Hattori Heiji more.

After all, in the dream, Conan was the one who enjoyed it more and took the initiative.

Xiaolan said calmly:”I didn’t expect Conan and Hattori to become friends regardless of age difference and have such a good relationship.”

“But when you go out to play, you’d better be more careful and don’t do anything illegal or criminal.”

Ever since she heard from Kazuha that Conan was looking for a young lady,

Xiaolan’s expectations of Conan have been getting lower and lower.

Conan didn’t understand these words, and pretended to be innocent, saying in a clip voice:”Sister Xiaolan really likes to joke, how could my brother Heiji and I do anything illegal”

“That would be best.”Ran glanced at him and said nothing more.

After all, from Conan’s psychological age, it is normal to have thoughts about that kind of thing.

I just hope that nothing will happen and I will be caught by the police station.

There is still more than an hour before arriving in Osaka, and Ran yawned.

Last night, I heard that Itake Karuta was going out with Xiaolan, and

Shirley, Akemi, Sonoko, Yukiko, and Kisaki Eri all got together to have a good time in the illusion before they went out. They played until the early morning, so much so that Xiaolan has not rested well until now.

Xiaolan no longer avoided Conan’s gaze, and lay on Itake Karuta’s legs with her upper body, closing her eyes to rest.

Seeing this, Itake Karuta took out his mobile phone, sent a text message, then closed his eyes, and took Xiaolan into the illusion array.

Using the characteristics of the illusion array, Xiaolan can get enough sleep while having a good time.

“……”

Conan could only watch the two people’s intimate behavior with a sour look, but he couldn’t change anything.

Besides, Conan also had someone in his heart.

However, seeing the two people behaving intimately in person, Conan still felt uncomfortable, so he simply walked around in the train to kill time.

At the same time, in the Naniwa Gymnasium, the kendo competition of various colleges in Osaka was in full swing, but a murder occurred in the gymnasium.

In the changing area next to the swimming pool, a college student contestant died in the shower room.

Hearing that a case had occurred, Hattori Heiji was excited and ran to the scene of the crime to investigate.

In the audience, Ikenami Shizuka saw that Hattori Heiji had not appeared in the competition for a long time, and couldn’t help frowning.

After inquiring about the murder, he quickly went to the scene and found Hattori Heiji as expected.

The police had also arrived at the scene and were already familiar with Hattori Heiji’s involvement in the investigation.

Ikenami Shizuka said solemnly:”Heiji, what are you doing? You didn’t appear once today!”

“Although this is a team competition, we cannot leave the competition entirely to our teammates.”

“Otherwise, even if you win the game, you won’t be justified!”

Hattori Heiji was a little impatient,”How can the game be more important than the case?! This is a matter of life and death.”

“And Uncle Otaki is here too, how can I just sit there and watch?”

“As long as we can finish the competition before 2pm, we will be able to participate in the finals.”

Ikenami Shizuka shook her head,”No, since Otaki is here, let’s hand the case over to the police.”

“Don’t forget that you lost to someone last time. This time you should take this opportunity to pay more attention to your opponent’s moves, otherwise you will definitely lose again.”

Hattori Heiji denied,”I didn’t lose to that guy. Last time he hit my ear and the blood didn’t stop for a while, so I was forced to stop playing.”

“If we really continue to fight, the outcome is uncertain.”

“I have also trained hard this year, and I am sure I can win. Now I have enough time to solve the case.”

Seeing that Hattori Heiji refused to leave the scene, Ikebo Shizuka could only frown and sigh helplessly.

She saw that Heiji had a good talent for martial arts, so she trained him to practice kendo since he was a child, but he didn’t expect that he would go astray and become obsessed with reasoning and solving cases.

As a result, his good talent was wasted, and his kendo skills are still half-baked.

“?”

Ikebo Shizuka suddenly felt the phone in her handbag vibrate and found that it was a text message.

A text message from Itake Karuta indicated that he was here to collect the debt. If she refused to pay, she had better be mentally prepared.

“Hum, I told you not to take the initiative before.……”

A smile flashed across Ikebo Shizuka’s face, and she quickly turned and left.

On the other side, Hattori Heiji had been observing Ikebo Shizuka out of the corner of his eye.

“Strange, did my mother smile just now?”

Hattori Heiji shook his head,”No, I must have seen it wrong… How could that old lady who frowns all day smile?”

However, after Ikenami Shizuka left, Hattori Heiji was able to focus more on the case investigation.

More than an hour later, at the Osaka Shinkansen station.

Itake Karuta, Xiaolan, and Conan, as soon as they walked out of the station, their eyes were quickly attracted by two dazzling figures at the door.

It was Kazuha in school uniform, and Ikenami Shizuka who was still wearing a kimono.

“Mr. Itake! Xiaolan!”

Kazuha came up to him happily, and subconsciously wanted to throw herself into Itake Karuta’s arms, but then she remembered that her elder, Ikenami Shizuka, was also there, so she had to temporarily change her target and hug Xiaolan.

Xiaolan also smiled and hugged Kazuha, and at the same time was a little confused:”Today is a holiday, Kazuha, why are you wearing a school uniform?”

Kazuha explained:”Today there is a kendo team competition at Kaikata High School. My classmates asked me to help cheer, so I wore a school uniform.”

While the two girls were talking and laughing,

Ikenami Shizuka had already walked in front of Itake Karuta, and said in a flat tone:”Mr. Itake, we meet again.”

Kazuha was a little surprised:”Aunt Jinghua, how do you know each other… No, have you met before?”

“Could it be that the friend you are waiting for is Mr. Itake?”

Kazuha had been waiting here an hour ago, and then ran into Ikeba Shizuka who was also waiting for someone.

I thought the friend Ikeba Shizuka was talking about would be an elderly uncle in his thirties or forties, but it turned out to be Itake Karuta?!

“To be precise, they are not friends.”Itake Karuta corrected,”They are clients.”

“Client?!”He Ye’s voice suddenly became eight pitches higher:”Aunt Jinghua, how come you are also Mr. Yizhu’s client?”

“If Heiji knew about this……”

Xiaolan next to him looked confused,”Heye, what does this have to do with Heiji?”

Xiaolan was used to Itake Karuta developing and helping customers, and Heye was also familiar with it.[]

Why are you still so surprised?

He Ye couldn’t hold it in,”Aunt Jinghua, she is Heiji’s mother!”

“”Ah?!!!”

Xiaolan and Conan were also shocked.

Hattori Heiji looked like Kurotan, and Ikenami Shizuka looked only in her 20s, with skin as white as snow.

How could these two be mother and son?

Conan was even more puzzled by the reactions of the two girls. They were just clients of Itake Karuta, so why were they so shocked?

“You two should not make such a fuss.” Itake Karuta glanced at Xiaolan and Kazuha, knowing that they had probably misunderstood.

He added:”A few days ago, Ms. Ikenami asked me to help find an old classmate from decades ago.”

“That’s why I say it’s a customer relationship.”

Because I encountered a case on the way, that kind of thing has been recorded by the police. As long as they are willing to investigate, they will definitely find out. Saying this is not considered a disclosure of customer privacy.

Of course, at the earliest today, at the latest in two or three days.

The customer relationship between Itake Karuta and Ikeba Shizuka will definitely continue to deepen..
