Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 140 Hattori Heiji comes to Tokyo again (3)

"Great! I've already thought of an after-dinner stroll for us tonight...! Let's go for a walk and see if we can spot that legendary pyromaniac. If we're lucky, we might even catch him, which would also bring some fame to our suit club...!"

Hattori Heiji was excitedly preparing to pull Conan outside, but was grabbed by Toyama Kazuha who was sitting next to him and could not move.

"Hey, Heiji, when did you develop this habit of taking a walk after dinner? How come I didn't know about it...? Well, you've been busy for so long, aren't you tired? I think you shouldn't go anywhere tonight. Just rest up here with Brother Lantian...!"

She spoke to her childhood sweetheart and sweetheart, Hattori Heiji, speechlessly but with a hint of doting.

Seeing that Kazuha had said this, and considering that he was indeed tired, and that Kudo wasn't particularly interested because he had just been pulling him for a long time without success, Hattori Heiji had no choice but to give up and chat with everyone. He had also heard some things from Mr. Kusukawa...

Hua Lantian ignored their conversation about detective suspense and saw that the time had come. He skillfully turned on the TV and tuned to the weather forecast. Although he had a simple smartphone, some of its functions were not particularly good, so he still habitually checked the weather forecast every day.

"It looks like it's going to rain tomorrow, but I think it might clear up. Does anyone have any plans...?"

Hua Lantian asked tentatively. After all, he didn't know whether Hattori Heiji, the famous detective who liked to go shopping even more than Conan, had thought about tomorrow's arrangements in advance.

"Ah, Brother Lantian, we've already agreed to help Mr. Kusukawa investigate the home of a woman named Morokaku. She feels like something's not right with the house...!"

Hattori Heiji completely ignored his childhood sweetheart who was already nodding his head in dismay as he spoke word by word about going to handle the case. It seemed that he had promised Toyama Kazuha something before, but unfortunately he had completely forgotten it now.

Hua Lantian felt that he still couldn't bear to see him add new injuries to his wounds, so he walked over to Ayako and whispered a few words to her.

Ayako then expressed her thoughts and suggestions as the oldest woman present.

"Okay, then it's settled. Hattori, you, Uncle Mori, and Conan will go solve the case together. As for Lantian, you can take the three of us women shopping...!"

Hua Lantian was stunned when he heard this. This was different from what he had agreed to. He had clearly said that he would prepare dinner for them at home, so how could it turn out like this...

He quickly looked at his wife and winked at her vigorously, saying that he didn't say that and that he really didn't want to go...

At the critical moment, Ayako ignored her husband completely. Even though Hua Lantian's eyes were blinking, she still looked at others and kept smiling.

Seeing this, Hua Lantian could only lower his head and accept his fate. He also counseled himself:

Forget it. I didn't want to go with them to investigate a case and then watch that cheating wife get burned. I'll just go shopping. I can even watch my wife buy clothes...

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt relieved and smiled like an aunt. This scared Ayako who happened to be glancing at him. She felt that something bad was targeting her, but she couldn't explain it clearly, so she simply announced it as the hostess of the house.

"Well, everyone, just rest here today. Just find your own room. There are plenty of vacancies. We can discuss the details of our departure tomorrow morning over breakfast...!"
