Chapter 69: Shinichi and Heiji's official meeting
"detective………"

Hearing the other party introduce himself, the old woman, who was already feeling guilty, subconsciously felt a surge of fear and quietly stepped back half a step.

But the next moment, she thought of her son, so she plucked up her courage, became bolder, anger and hatred burst out of her eyes, and her fear was overwhelmed by the surging anger.

"Another brat calling himself a 'detective'!"

"Damn you, who cares who you are? Go to hell!"

The old woman gritted her teeth, yelled, raised the knife in her hand, and rushed directly towards Hattori Heiji.

She only has one idea now.

That is, before dealing with those little guys, kill this young detective first!

Only by getting rid of all these troublesome guys, no one will know what happened in the past, and her son will not be labeled a criminal!
"Mom! Stop it!"

Seeing this scene, Akio widened his eyes, and his left hand tightly grasped the railing in front of him. He stretched out his right hand as if trying to grab something, and at the same time shouted loudly, trying to stop his impulsive mother.

However, his persuasion had no effect at all, but instead strengthened the old woman's determination to eliminate all those who knew about the situation.

"Ah!" Ayumi and others were frightened and screamed loudly.

Conan was calmer. He thought that the detective on the opposite side dared to come here alone, so he must have some skills, otherwise he would not be unable to beat an elderly lady.

What's more, Ze Yu is here. Even if the detective really can't beat the old lady, he won't die.

So, Conan was not worried.

The same goes for Ze Yu.

He knew Hattori Heiji very well. After all, Heiji was a master of kendo. Shouldn't it be easy for him to deal with an old lady with a knife?
With Hattori Heiji here, Sawaha doesn't need to take any action, he just needs to watch the show.

Things happened just as Sawa Yu had expected. Facing the attacking old woman, Hattori Heiji did not panic at all. He dodged the attack by leaning sideways, then stretched out his left hand and chopped the old woman's wrist where she was holding the knife.

"Ah!" The old woman screamed in pain, her hand loosened subconsciously, and the knife fell to the ground.

Hattori Heiji grinned and kicked the knife on the ground, kicking it away.

Swish!
A cold light flashed, and the kicked knife flew straight towards the wall, like a flying knife, the sharp blade was stuck straight into the wall and stopped moving.

“I…” The old woman was frightened, her pupils trembled, and she opened her mouth but couldn’t speak.

Finally, she sat down on the ground helplessly like a deflated balloon, her face looking gloomy.

She gave in.

Akio smiled helplessly, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief.

I hope no one gets hurt.

On the other side, Yuan Tai, who had reacted, couldn't help but exclaimed: "How amazing..."

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko also had expressions of agreement on their faces.

In their opinion, Hattori Heiji's skills are indeed amazing. He can even subdue a knife-wielding villain. Those masters on TV are probably at this level, right?
"I already know what happened. For the sake of your child, you should turn yourself in immediately."

Hattori Heiji looked at the old woman sitting on the ground, shook his head, said something persuasive, and then walked towards Conan and others.

Conan raised his head, blinked his eyes, and looked at Hattori Heiji curiously. Hattori Heiji smiled, stretched out his hand to touch Conan's new hair, and said: "Little friend, I was listening to you when you were reasoning just now."

"Your reasoning is very accurate. It is almost the same as what I guessed. When you grow up, maybe you can become a famous detective like me."

“………”Conan didn’t say anything. He rolled his eyes helplessly and chuckled in his heart.

He has long been a famous detective, okay?

However, remembering that he was only a seven-year-old child, Conan couldn't act too special, so he put away his dead fish eyes, showed an innocent look, and asked curiously: "Big brother, the reason why we came here is to explore, what about you?"

"Brother, I'm a detective. Of course I came here because of a commission." Hattori Heiji replied with a smile.

Conan continued to ask: "What is the commission?"

"Little boy, being too curious is not a good thing." Hattori Heiji increased the strength of rubbing Conan's hair, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and after thinking for a while, he continued.

"Although as a qualified detective, I cannot casually reveal the contents of the commission, but since the truth of the matter has been revealed and you have helped me a little, I will make an exception and tell you about it."

"The owner of this house had a friend who went abroad more than ten years ago and just came back recently. He learned that his old friend died in his office five years ago and the murderer has not been found until now. He thought there might be some hidden secret, so he asked me to come and investigate."

"It's as simple as that."

After saying this, Hattori Heiji withdrew his hand with a hint of disgust on his face.

I have to say that despite Sawaha's careful design, Conan's afro is indeed a bit uncomfortable to the touch.

After just rubbing Conan's head for a while, Hattori Heiji felt a dull pain in his palm, as if he had touched a porcupine.

Conan nodded, suddenly realizing.

He remembered that there seemed to be a famous detective named Hattori in Kansai.

“But, big brother, you are a detective from Kansai, and this is Kanto…” Conan still had that innocent expression on his face and said deliberately.

What Conan meant was, as a detective from Kansai, isn't it a bit too nosy for you to come to Kanto to investigate?
"I can't help it. My client is from Kansai, and I'm quite famous in Kansai. It's impossible for him to give up on me, a famous detective who lives nearby, and go to Kanto to find a detective there, right?"

"Besides, I came to Kanto not just to investigate this matter, I have other things to do."

Conan continued to ask: "What is it?"

Hattori Heiji had no intention of keeping the secret, and said frankly: "I heard that the famous detective 'Kudo Shinichi' from Kanto is very powerful and can solve cases very accurately. He is known as the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era. I want to compete with him to prove who is the strongest detective in the island country!"

“………Huh?”

Conan grinned, looking speechless.

Why are there still so many people who won’t let him go even though he has become a child?

In Conan's opinion, Hattori Heiji's trip to Kanto was obviously in vain, because it was impossible for him to meet Kudo Shinichi.

Before Conan recovers into an adult, no matter how capable Hattori Heiji is, he will never be able to meet Kudo Shinichi.

Don't even think about it.
