"By the way, why didn't Heiji Hattori come? Did he go home too?" Sonoko Suzuki glanced at Heiji Hattori's seat.
Kazuha Toyama looked over and did not find it strange.
"Sonoko, Heiji Hattori is just like Shinichi Kudo—they both skip class all the time. It's normal. I bet he ran into some major case."
Kazuha Toyama curled her lips. After all, she knew Heiji Hattori well. This was far from the first or second time he had skipped class.
So Kazuha Toyama was no longer surprised by this.
"True. That guy's a high school detective too. High school detectives are all the same." Sonoko Suzuki said rather bluntly.
Clearly, Sonoko Suzuki had a certain prejudice against so-called high school detectives.
Sonoko Suzuki felt that since they were high school students, they should focus on studying instead of messing around with all that nonsense.
More importantly, those messy matters often made them neglect the people around them. Deep down, Sonoko Suzuki was standing up for Ran Mouri.

Sonoko Suzuki curled her lips. "I wouldn't care even if he died. Why would I be worried about him?"
"Why have you been smiling this whole time? Heiji Hattori not coming to school has something to do with you, doesn't it?" Akako Koizumi quietly
