Hattori Family: A Kind Father and Filial Son
Heiji Hattori was punched in the face by his own father, followed by a Hattori Heiji scolded due to his strict upbringing, he had never been beaten like this before.
I rarely get into big fights, but I got punched today. My child felt really wronged and his life seemed bleak.
The little pearls are about to fall off.
"Hello..."
Conan approached Hattori Heiji, who was sitting in the puddle, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
After all, he came from a scholarly family and had never been punched in the face by his own father.
"..."
Fujino watched silently as his own father punched his son, sending him flying several meters away, and remained silent for a moment.
He also began to doubt whether Hattori Heiji was actually Hattori Heizo's biological son.
How could someone be so cruel to their own child?
However, in his view, Hattori Heizo's educational approach was not actually wrong.
If it were a relative of the deceased, the beating would have been far more severe than this.
The worst thing about Hattori Heiji is that he's too carefree and impulsive, and too eager to solve cases.
Perhaps it's because she was born into such a traditional family and wanted to prove herself.
Putting aside solving the case, just impulsively disturbing someone's corpse is already very wrong, so the beating was justified.
He had no right to educate Hattori Heiji in place of his father, after all, he wasn't the other's biological father.
It would be great to be able to do that... cough, I'm overthinking it.
'But that old man from Hirakawa is pretty fierce too...'
Fujino glanced at Hattori Heizo and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
In his opinion, that punch was definitely not something an ordinary person could deliver.
It can only be said that not just anyone can sit in the position of Osaka Headquarters.
The minimum required skills are sufficient.
"Otake, can you confirm that both of these cases are murders?"
Hattori Heizo pulled up the shroud covering Katagiri's corpse to conceal his face.
"Not yet."
Otake truthfully stated, "Mr. Kato fell from the Tenshukaku. We only detected his fingerprints on the lighter he left behind... As for Miss Katagiri, Kazuha others watched her light the lighter and fall. Although some details are still unclear, it seems like it was a suicide."
"In that case, let's leave two detectives at the scene to preserve evidence."
Hattori Heizo stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and left the crime scene. "Toyama, that's it for today. And Fujino- kun, we still have two cases at our Osaka Headquarters that we need your assistance with."
"Yes."
Fujino gave a slight nod and followed.
Toyama Ginshiro glanced at Hattori Heiji and then left as well.
However, Fujino hadn't gone far when he heard a Heiji shouting behind him, "Old Deng, I'm going to personally catch that murderer in front of you!"
"..."
Fujino paused, his expression turning strange.
Just as he suspected, Hattori Heizo was simply putting on an act, fooling his idiot son.
As his biological father, he understood Hattori Heiji's character.
This kind of stimulation would definitely lead to a hasty decision to solve the case, which would inadvertently result in being discovered by the gang of robbers.
However, Fujino felt that there was indeed a reason for him to take revenge on his own and beat up his stupid son.
The Hattori family exemplifies the father's kindness and the son's filial piety.
"As Advisor Fujino mentioned on the phone before, there is a person named Oda Nobunaga in this travel agency who plays Oda Wakisaka."
Hattori Heizo didn't hear the shouts behind him. He continued walking slowly, and then instructed Toyama Ginshiro, "Toyama, have someone follow that person later, and also have Otaki keep an eye on Heiji Otake."
"Wakisaka?"
Toyama Ginshiro frowned.
"I just heard from the crowd that Kato was desperately clutching an umbrella before he died..."
Hattori Heizo continued, "Speaking of umbrellas, what was Oda Nobunaga's horse seal again?"
Upon hearing this, Toyama Ginshiro suddenly realized, "I see!"
"..."
Fujino followed silently behind the two for a moment.
So what exactly does "umbrella" mean?
Have you ever considered how I feel, someone who doesn't know much about Japanese history and has the added benefit of being a time traveler?
Since the distance wasn't far, the group went straight back to the Osaka Headquarters.
However, instead of heading straight to the chief's office or the Criminal Investigation Department, the group went to the mobile investigation team's waiting room.
The standby room is located next to the underground parking garage. It is not decorated at all, but is filled with blast shields and various blast protection equipment.
At this moment, a large group of fully armed officers, with the Osaka Prefectural Police's Mobile Unit printed on their backs, stood in the waiting room next to several black vans, ready to depart.
"So, Commander-in-Chief, are you trying to provoke Hattori Heiji?"
Fujino asked Hattori Heizo, "And you probably called me here to keep me out of this case, right?"
"That's right, I think Heiji is the most suitable person to do this."
Hattori Heizo slightly and explained, "Their noses are very sensitive; they can smell the police. If the police act rashly, it will definitely arouse their suspicion. Advisor Fujino, your methods are too skillful, and your personality is unusually calm. If you investigate rashly, it may alert them and alert them."
"Only Heiji, that impulsive kid who lacks composure and just charges ahead, can avoid arousing suspicion."
Fujino: "..."
He didn't know what reason to give in rebuttal, after all, what Old Deng said was just too reasonable!
Was he banned because he was too strong?
However, he didn't have any objections.
Looking back at the System Task in front of him, which offered the reward of 5 Detective Coins, 5 million yen, and 300 Detective Reputation Points, he decided to give up.
The reward prompts are the same, so why bother going through all that trouble to personally go up there and risk your life?
There's no way I'll work overtime without overtime pay; I'll never work overtime in my life, unless it's a job involving violence.
"We have results here!"
At that moment, Toyama Ginshiro suddenly received a phone call. After hanging up, he reported to Hattori Heizo, "The people who were following Wakisaka discovered that the other party did not return to the hotel, but went to an abandoned factory nearby, and then secretly left."
"Um..."
Hattori Heizo hesitated for a moment, then continued, "What about the hotel?"
"Two people from the hotel didn't go back."
Toyama Ginshiro continued, "Besides Wakisaka, there's the guy we've been keeping an eye on. As for Heiji, he's already figured out what's going on and is currently not far from a factory."
"It seems they intend to make their move there."
Hattori Heizo twitched his chin. "Have Otake go to the factory ahead of time to be ready to meet us."
As he spoke, he turned around, walked to the locker next to him, took out two Bulletproof Vest, put them on under his suit, and then threw one to Fujino.
Fujino took the bulletproof vest from the Osaka Prefectural Police and skillfully put it on under his suit.
After doing all this, Hattori Heizo shouted to the Mobile Unit in front of him, "All personnel, prepare for action!"
"Yes!"
Soon, a large group of people sneaked into the abandoned factory and prepared to ambush it.
Thirty or forty police officers, along with several searchlights, lay in ambush in the shadows of a dimly lit, abandoned factory.
Fujino and Hattori Heizo, both dressed in black suits, lay in ambush on the stairs of the passageway on the top of the warehouse.
He was acting like a fox borrowing the tiger's power, putting on the airs of the commander-in-chief of this operation.
"Da da da!"
A short while later, a man carrying a box walked in from outside the warehouse, went up the stairs to the second floor, and put down the box next to a lit gasoline drum.
Then, the man glanced around, looked at the things in his hands, and patiently waited.
