Although Conan has some moral failings, Ran will still stand up for him if he is bullied.
"How could Heiji-nii-san bully me?"
Conan leaned against Heiji Hattori and said with a smile, "We even made plans to go to the gymnasium this afternoon."
Seeing that Conan looked relaxed and didn't seem to be lying, Kazuha and the others stopped pursuing the matter.
Hattori Heiji also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If Conan is taken away for a checkup, what happened last night will definitely come out!
Hattori Heiji's memories of last night consisted of only about 150 fragments.
Judging from those clips, Conan should still have quite a few hickeys on his body.
When Hattori Heiji first woke up in the morning, he also thought it was just a dream.
However, she then discovered that she had suffered some minor injuries and realized that she had been bitten by Conan. She panicked and didn't know how to face the situation, so she could only pretend that she didn't know anything.
Fortunately, after Conan woke up, he tacitly refrained from mentioning what happened last night.
However, the two inevitably maintained a deliberate distance in their behavior.
Five minutes later, Izuki Karuta and the others left the promenade around the castle tower.
"It seems you two have a really good relationship."
Kazuha glanced at the detectives, one big and one small.
For the entire five minutes, Heiji Hattori held Conan in his arms, and Conan showed no sign of reluctance.
This only fueled Kazuha's curiosity: "If you two didn't have a fight, why did you seem so strange this morning?"
At this point, Hattori Heiji had already prepared an excuse, saying that they had disagreed on a certain case.
We have just reached a consensus.
Upon hearing about the case, Kazuha lost interest and didn't bother to ask any more questions.
After leaving the castle tower, the group visited several other attractions, and before they knew it, it was almost noon.
After having a kaiseki meal together, we headed to the milk hot spring ryokan we had booked.
There was a sign hanging at the entrance of the hotel introducing the many therapeutic effects of the milk hot spring.
For example, it can moisturize the skin, make the skin whiter, improve sleep, and promote secondary growth, etc.
This hot spring has been advertised on television. The pools use a mixture of pure milk and hot spring water, which is changed daily, and it's quite expensive.
Izuki Karuta walked to the front desk, gave her name and phone number,
After confirming their identities, the shop owner handed them three badges.
That is, three private hot spring rooms.
"Besides us, is anyone else coming?"
Hattori Heiji was somewhat puzzled.
There are currently six people: three men and three women. In theory, two private rooms should be enough.
Why open three?
Izuki Karuta glanced at Hattori Heiji and said, "Rich and willful."
"I'd like to have a private room all to myself."
The money was given by Izuki Karuta; that reason is sufficient.
Heiji Hattori didn't say anything more.
However, what I originally wanted to say while soaking in the hot spring could only be said in advance in the men's changing room.
"Izuki Shigeta, I admit you're capable, but you should at least show some respect!"
Hattori Heiji's tone was laced with anger: "My dad does treat you like a distinguished guest, but you can't push your luck!"
This is naturally referring to the overly intimate actions taken by Izuki Shizuka at the table and on the bench last night.
Izuki Qingtian scoffed, "When a guest is a guest, he should follow the host's lead. How could I be pushing my luck?"
Then he patted Heiji on the shoulder and said, "Don't forget the smile on your dad's face last night."
"Who made you stop in the morning?"
After saying that, Izuki Karuta turned and left the locker room.
Heiji, who was reminded, stood there stunned:
The smile on Hattori Heizo's face last night...
In the morning, Shizuka Ikebab stopped him again with her gaze...
Heiji Hattori wasn't stupid; he just never thought about things from that perspective.
Now it finally dawned on me that it was Hattori Heizo and Ikenami Shizuka who were currying favor with Itake Karuda.
"Why? Is it just because he's skilled in martial arts?"
Hattori Heiji was somewhat dazed, muttering to himself.
Conan reassured him, "The Chief Executive must have made this decision after careful consideration."
"Perhaps it's for gathering evidence or something..."
"As for the specific reasons, we should be able to find out when the time is right."
For the dignified Osaka Prefectural Police Chief to go to such lengths to curry favor with a conman like Itake Karuda,
There is no other reason than to build rapport and gather evidence.
“That makes sense.” Hattori Heiji nodded. “There are at least eight hundred to a thousand people who have been deceived by Itake Karuta during this period.”
"Based on each transaction involving nearly one million yen, the amount involved is terrifying."
"That's right, Mom and Dad must be gathering evidence!!"
Hattori Heiji then recalled that Itake Karuta had at most placed his hand on Ikenami Shizuka's waist.
Furthermore, Ikenami Shizuka is exceptionally skilled in martial arts. Even if she is not a match for him, if Izuki Shizuka were to try to force her to do something, she would certainly have to bear a very high risk.
Once he realized that Shizuka Ikenami was not in danger, Heiji Hattori felt relieved.
"Conan, you're still the quickest-witted one."
Heiji Hattori smiled, picked up Conan, and walked towards the private hot spring room.
When they entered the private room, they discovered that Conan hadn't changed his clothes yet.
"Conan, why aren't you in the locker room...?"
Heiji Hattori quickly shut up halfway through his sentence.
Conan still has hickeys on him, how could he be in the locker room...?
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly changed.
Hattori Heiji quickly ran to the showerhead and washed himself with hot water.
This is something you must do before soaking in a hot spring.
In the adjacent hot spring private room,
When Izuki Karuta entered the private room
Ran, Kazuha, and Ikenami Shizuka were also washing with warm water.
I only had a chance to take a shower now because I got drunk last night.
Although three private rooms were booked,
But that was just a tactic used by Izuki Karuta to mislead Hattori Heiji and Conan.
Booking a private room doesn't mean he's really going to soak in the hot spring all by himself.
To save time, Izuki Karita took turns rubbing Ran, Kazuha, and Ikenami Shizuka's backs.
It just so happens that this is a milk hot spring, and the three women who had received help also gave Izuki Karuta a milk bath.
The three women chatted and laughed, their voices like nightingale's song, which could be faintly heard next door.
Although it's called a private hot spring room, it's actually just separated by a wooden wall. If you speak loudly, it can easily be heard next door.
"Oh dear, Mr. Izuki, you're so annoying..."
The showerhead was installed next to the wall. When Hattori Heiji was taking a shower, he suddenly heard a voice with a coquettish tone.
It's Kazuha's voice!
Thinking that Shizuka Ikenami was also at the nearby hot spring,
Hattori Heiji was immediately shocked and ran to the next private room, banging on the door loudly...
