Hattori Heiji reluctantly accepted the cruel reality of losing to a Tokyo elementary school student.

And the police officer Sakata who took the initiative to make a provocation had already lost his voice.

He sat quietly in the driver's seat, listening carefully to the analysis and reasoning of Lin Xinyi and others, his expression seemed a bit complicated.

"Officer Sakata?"

Hattori Heiji patted his shoulder and advised:

"Don't take it too seriously... As you can see, Mr. Lin is indeed worthy of the title of 'expert'."

"It's not a shame for Osaka to ask him to come over to guide the handling of the case."

"Uh...yes, yes..." Sakata Yusuke reacted as if he was waking up from a dream.

He turned his head, his expression changed from rejection to shame, and he formally apologized to Lin Xinyi:

"Manager Lin, I'm sorry."

"It's because I look at people from a narrow perspective and my emotions are too extreme."

"It's okay." The other party has already taken the initiative to apologize, and Lin Xinyi will not cling to such a small conflict childishly.

He forgave the officer Sakata lightly, and then said directly to him:

"Officer Sakata, let's drive. Let's go to the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters first."

"Go to work at the Prefectural Police Headquarters now?" Sakata Yusuke was slightly startled: "But, Mr. Lin, you haven't eaten your lunch yet."

"Just take care of lunch."

"Now that there is a breakthrough in the case, it would be better for us to seize the time to launch the investigation."

Lin Xinyi casually said to Sakata Yusuke:

"Officer Sakata, you are a criminal police officer from the Tojiri branch. Your work is probably not easy at ordinary times. It may not be convenient for you to be our driver and tour guide all the time."

"After we are sent to the Prefectural Police Headquarters, you can go back to work at the Dongjiri Branch!"

He kindly tried to relieve Officer Sakata from this meaningless social pressure, but Officer Sakata seemed unwilling to appreciate it:

"This...Manager Lin, did my rudeness just now make you angry?"

"My job today is to entertain you well, so don't rush me away."

Officer Sakata said, half jokingly, half seriously.

As he spoke, he deliberately put on an enthusiastic look:

"Actually, Manager Lin, you don't have to be so anxious."

"To investigate the driver's license matter, just make a phone call and ask our colleagues from the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters to take charge."

"If you rush to the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters now, I'm afraid you won't be able to help me much."

"So, why not relax a little and follow me and Heiji to taste some Osaka delicacies."

"It won't be too late to get back to work after my colleagues from the provincial police headquarters find out what the investigation results are on the driver's license."

Yusuke Sakata is right.

The time-consuming and laborious work of investigating the driver's license of the deceased and arranging social connections has to be left to the grassroots police.

Before the investigation results came out, and there was no new progress in the case, even if Lin Xinyi went, he probably wouldn't be able to help.

Instead of rushing there and being in a daze, it is better to take your "children" and "girlfriend" to eat and drink in Osaka on public funds and enjoy it in advance.

"yes."

As the host, Hattori Heiji also strongly agreed with this proposal:

"Just leave the investigation of the driver's license to our Osaka Prefectural Police."

"I'll take everyone to eat some Osaka food first, and finish lunch on the way, so it won't delay work."

Hattori Heiji is very enthusiastic about taking everyone to taste the delicacies of his hometown.

Officer Sakata also sang in harmony and echoed:

“Our food in Osaka is very famous.”

"I happen to know an authentic Kansai okonomiyaki, and I can take you to try it."

The other party was too kind to refuse. Lin Xin thought for a while and finally nodded in agreement:

"Okay, let's go eat first!"

............................

Soon after, everyone drove to the snack bar recommended by Officer Sakata.

Officer Sakata was busy looking for a place to park, while the others unconsciously divided into two groups and sat down in front of the counter to eat.

Hattori Heiji warmly entertained Miss Mori, who had the best relationship with him, while Conan sat among them with a dark face.

The other group of people had a similar configuration, except that the one with a dark face stuck between Lin Xinyi and Bellmod was Miss Haiyuan, who tried her best to stay away from Bellmod, but was still unable to get rid of her.

"Xiao Ai~"

It seems that Belmod has awakened to some evil hobby.

She deliberately played the role of a gentle and considerate big sister in front of others. She picked out a small piece of okonomiyaki pancake with chopsticks, blew it cold and put it to Haihara Ai's mouth:

"Ah~ open your mouth."

It was as if he was feeding a kitten that he had raised at home, and Belmod's expression was very doting.

In response to this, Haiyuan Ai had only one sentence:

"Old woman."

She squinted her eyes and cast a cold white eye:

"Have you had enough fun?!"

"Yeah..." Lin Xinyi also whispered to help: "Teacher, please stop teasing others like this."

"On your way..."

Along the way, Belmode completely regarded Haihara Ai as a fun doll.

Not only did she force the angry little Miss Haiyuan into her arms, she also fiddled with the soft brown hair of the "little doll" like a naughty girl.

By the time she got out of the police car, Hui Yuan Ai's hair was as messy as a chicken coop.

And before her gloomy little face could clear up, Belmode began teasing her unscrupulously again.

"I'm not teasing her."

Facing Haiyuan Ai's accusation and Lin Xinyi's persuasion, Belmod's expression instantly became serious:

"Kid Haiyuan, you'd better act like a real child now."

"Otherwise, if the person following us notices something fishy, ​​it will be a big problem."

"With the people following us?"

Lin Xinyi and Huiyuan Ai couldn't help but be surprised.

But they quickly controlled their expressions, lowered their voices, and turned their questioning eyes to Belmode:

"Teacher, are you saying that someone is following us?"

Lin Xinyi asked with a solemn expression.

Haihara Ai's question was more direct and very rude:

"Old woman, are you acting again?"

"I've been fooled once, I won't fall for it again!"

Yesterday, she was so frightened by Belmode that she almost gave up her boyfriend.

This bad woman still wants to tease her today, and she will never fall for it easily.

"I'm serious."

Belmode frowned slightly.

There was a trace of unbreakable solemnity in those aqua pupils.

Looking at such a pair of heavy and serious eyes, even Haibara Ai, who firmly believed that this woman was deceiving her, couldn't help but feel slightly nervous.

"On our way here in the police car, I noticed that there was a taxi following closely behind us."

"When we got off the bus in front of this snack bar, the taxi stopped dozens of meters behind us by coincidence."

"And the stalker who got off the car..."

"She is sitting in this snack bar right now, right behind us."

"This..." Lin Xinyi instinctively wanted to look back.

But Belmod grabbed him with a serious expression:
To be continued...
