Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 232 Heiji and Kazuha! Ran is not my woman!

"Is this the place? The place with that girl named Kudo?"

Kazuha Toyama stood with her hands on her hips, staring at the sign that read "Mouri Detective Agency," a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

Beside her stood a dark-skinned man, scratching the back of his head, looking at the woman with a displeased expression: "Kazuha, why did you have to come along?"

"This is such a hassle, and I'm not planning on spending the night here."

These two were Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori, who had come all the way from Osaka to find Shinichi Kudo.

Some time ago, there was news that Shinichi Kudo had died, and afterwards he heard news about Shinichi Kudo's death one after another.

However, Heiji Hattori does not believe that Shinichi Kudo is really dead.

Because those who can surpass him in detective work won't die so easily.

This news must be a rumor, a complete rumor.

However, during this period, Shinichi Kudo really did not appear again. He did not appear at school, nor did he appear in front of the media reporters.

Therefore, Heiji Hattori couldn't hold back any longer and had no choice but to skip class and fly directly from Osaka to Beikacho, Tokyo, with the goal of finding Shinichi Kudo.

He believed that Shinichi Kudo was only secretly investigating a case, and was definitely not dead.

However, that troublesome woman, Toyama Kazuha, actually came along too.

She has so much pocket money! What a troublesome woman.

"Why can't I come?" Kazuha Toyama said, hands on her hips, exuding confidence. "I'm your older sister, and I even told your aunt that I would take care of you, so I came with you to see this guy named Shinichi Kudo."

"I was afraid you'd get scammed and I wouldn't be able to explain it to your aunt when you got back, so that's why."

This is a lie.

Kazuha Toyama didn't come with Heiji Hattori for that reason. She came to see what Shinichi Kudo looked like and why he could be so infatuated with Heiji that he came all the way from Osaka to Tokyo.

Yes, Kazuha Toyama sees Shinichi Kudo as a girl, and similarly believes that Heiji Hattori came to find Shinichi Kudo and wants to ask her out.

However, it's quite normal for Kazuha Toyama to think that way, because he doesn't know that Shinichi Kudo is actually a man.

Because the person she always cared about was Hattori Heiji, not Kudo Shinichi.

Just like Ran, she cares about Shinichi Kudo, not Heiji Hattori from Osaka.

"You're only a few months older than me, you're not my older sister at all, don't talk nonsense!" Hattori Heiji said with a sullen face.

He didn't want Ye to be his older sister; he didn't want a sister like that.

What he really wanted was...
"Hmph! Being older than you is being older. You're just a little brother in front of me, so I have to take care of you. That's something you can't argue with," Toyama Kazuha said arrogantly.

"You despicable woman!"

Heiji Hattori was speechless upon hearing this, but he was completely helpless against this woman.

Who could blame him when Toyama Kazuha was his childhood sweetheart?

Moreover, her father is her own father's subordinate. If he bullies He Ye and is reported, his fate will definitely be terrible.

It's a mixed doubles match, and after the fight, they might even sneak up on you on the way home.

As for who struck first, those who know, know; those who don't, don't know.

After all, Kazuha Toyama is Ginjiro Toyama's only daughter.

Kazuha Toyama grinned as she watched Heiji Hattori grit his teeth.

She loved seeing Heiji like that, wanting to kill her but unable to.

In short, these two are a pair of bickering lovers.

This childhood sweetheart pair is much more normal than Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri.

Just as the two were flirting, Kitahara Natsuhiro, Ai, and Conan appeared at the same spot.

Although Conan left Teitan Elementary School first, he was stopped by Genta and others on the way, and Kitahara Natsuhiro and Ai chased after him.

Later, Conan could only return here with Kitahara Natsuhiro and the others.

If he could, he wouldn't want to come back with Kitahara Natsuyu; he'd be too embarrassed!

"Hmm, those two people up ahead look kind of familiar," Kitahara Natsumi stopped and looked at the two people not far ahead, stroking his chin as he muttered to himself.

Ai, who was standing next to Kitahara Natsuyu, heard this and asked, "They look like two students, quite young."

"You know them."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and said, "I already know who they are."

When he first saw it, he wasn't quite sure.

After all, Heiji Hattori isn't the only person with dark skin.

But seeing Toyama Kazuha beside him, and their flirtatious banter, he was certain that the people standing in front were Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji.

But these two guys came here probably because of Shinichi Kudo!

In the original work, Heiji Hattori's first appearance was for Shinichi Kudo, but it seems that Kazuha Toyama didn't come that time.

Furthermore, Heiji Hattori was also involved in a case during his visit: the case of the diplomat's murder.

"Teacher Kitahara, who are they?" Conan asked, looking up.

He was very curious about the two people standing at his door.

In fact, Conan had met Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama once before.

But this guy had long forgotten about Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha; it seems they met while skiing somewhere.

“The detective from Osaka, Hattori Heiji, and the other girl is probably his friend,” Kitahara Natsuhiro explained.

"Heiji Hattori?" Ai said, "I've seen that name in the newspaper. He's supposedly a high school detective who's on par with Shinichi Kudo."

"One is in Osaka, and the other is in Tokyo."

When she was in the organization, she could only get information from newspapers, so she read newspapers frequently.

It was for this reason that she came to know Heiji Hattori.

Upon hearing the name Heiji Hattori, Conan remembered who this guy was.

"So it's this guy. I ran into him at the ski resort before, and I even met him with Ran." Conan muttered to himself, stroking his chin.

He still had some recollection of that incident, but he didn't have a deep impression of Hattori Heiji.

If it weren't for Kitahara Natsuhiro and Ai's reminder, he wouldn't have remembered at all.

"Skiing?" Kitahara Natsuyu looked down at Conan, his expression meaningful. "When did you go skiing with Ran? How come I didn't know?"

Ai Haibara, standing to the side, also turned her gaze toward Conan with a meaningful look.

Conan felt a chill run down his spine under the gazes of these two people.

Oops, I let it slip.

"No, you must have misheard. It's Shinichi-nii, Shinichi-nii!" Conan grinned sheepishly, stubbornly denying it. Hearing this, Kitahara Natsumi smiled and said, "Oh, it's Kudo Shinichi."

"But the news said Shinichi Kudo died, right? How come he's still alive?"

"Why haven't I seen him lately?"

"That's right, I thought Shinichi Kudo was dead before, but it turns out he's still alive."

Ai followed Kitahara Natsuhiro's lead and started teasing Conan.

“Shinichi is still alive. He just encountered a troublesome case, so he's not in Tokyo or Beika Town right now. So he's not dead.” Conan explained with a serious face, “So teachers, please don't believe the rumors outside.”

"By the way, if anyone asks you about Shinichi-nii, don't tell anyone."

"Shinichi is currently conducting a secret investigation and we can't let anyone else know."

Conan paused, then added the last sentence, fearing that Kitahara Natsumi and Haibara Ai would reveal Shinichi Kudo's secret.

It's fine to say this to ordinary people, but if you say it to someone with ulterior motives, then it will be troublesome.

"I see." Kitahara Natsuyu nodded, revealing a big smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone else about Shinichi Kudo."

"The teacher has a very good reputation for keeping secrets."

Ha ha
Conan mentally scoffed, but his face remained impassive as he said, "Of course I know that the teacher is a man who keeps his mouth shut."

"Hmm, Conan, you're a good boy." Kitahara Natsumi squatted down and patted Conan's head as a reward.

Conan really wanted to slap Kitahara Natsuhiro's hand away, but he didn't dare.

Therefore, we can only let Kitahara Natsuhiro do whatever he wants.

Damn it!
It's infuriating that I, Shinichi Kudo, am being bullied like this.

When will I be able to turn back?!

Just as Conan was inwardly groaning, two strangers walked over and said something that made Conan's heart race.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Excuse me, do you know Shinichi Kudo?" Kazuha Toyama walked over.

Hattori Heiji also came over.

Upon hearing the name Shinichi Kudo, Conan's heart suddenly raced. He looked up and saw Heiji Hattori's dark face and Kazuha Toyama with her hair in a single ponytail.

"Who are you?" Kitahara Natsuyu stood up, looking at the two of them knowingly.

"Hello, I'm Kazuha Toyama, and this is Heiji Hattori. We've come from Osaka in search of Shinichi Kudo," Kazuha Toyama explained. "Do you know where Shinichi Kudo is?"

"She recently went missing, and we want to find Shinichi Kudo."

"Shinichi Kudo?" Kitahara Natsuyu asked, "What do you want with him?"

"Could it be that he's made some enemies outside?"

“Recently, there have been news reports that he offended someone and was killed. We don’t know where he is now.”

"He may be dead, or he may not be dead."

"I see." Toyama Kazuha was somewhat disappointed.

“It seems you don’t know where Shinichi Kudo is either. It looks like we’ll have to ask that girl.” Hattori Heiji suddenly said.

"that."

"Girls?"

Conan and Kazuha Toyama felt a jolt in their hearts, sensing that the girl Hattori Heiji was talking about might be no ordinary person.

“Ran Mouri!” Heiji Hattori said, “This is information I obtained from Teitan High School.”

"They say Ran Mouri is Shinichi Kudo's woman. Since we can't find Shinichi Kudo, let's look for Ran Mouri. Maybe we'll find some clues!"

"Shinichi Kudo's woman?"

"Am I Shinichi's woman?"

"Xiaolan is my woman?"

At that moment, the three of them suddenly shouted out, looking surprised.

Hey, why are there three people?
Of course, it was at this time that Xiaolan came back too!
"Hey, Xiaolan, when did you get back?" Kitahara Natsuyu took a step back, smiling as he looked at the young people in front of him, ready to watch a good show.

Yes, it was a play.

He now understands that Kazuha Toyama sees Shinichi Kudo as a girl.

Everyone thought Hattori Heiji had come to Tokyo to find his girlfriend, but actually Kudo Shinichi is a boy.

If Hattori Heiji really did travel all the way to Tokyo to find a girlfriend, then Hattori Heiji is zero.

Those guys are scary. Stay away from them, or you'll get blood on them when the fight breaks out.

Ha!
Ai, who was standing to the side, saw Kitahara Natsuhiro take two steps back, and she also took two steps back like Kitahara Natsuhiro.

"You're just here to watch the show, aren't you?" Ai whispered. "This girl thinks Shinichi Kudo is a woman, and that Heiji Hattori likes Shinichi Kudo, so she came here specifically to find him, right?"

At this moment, Ai also sorted out the clues about these people.

It's so interesting.

As expected, you can't see any of these interesting things inside the black organization. It's really great to be able to get out of the organization.

Conan looked ahead: "Ran-neechan?"

"Ran? You're Ran Mouri?" Kazuha Toyama looked at Ran with a wary expression.

"Oh, so you're Ran Mouri. You really look exactly like that girl described you." Heiji Hattori stroked his chin and looked at Ran several times.

These few glances made Conan and Kazuha Toyama's eyes blaze with fury, wishing they could burn Hattori Heiji to ashes.

Then throw Hattori Heiji's ashes into Tokyo Bay and let them become shark food!

Suddenly, Heiji Hattori shivered, feeling Conan and Kazuha Toyama's gazes, and a chill ran down his spine.

"I don't think I've offended them!" Hattori Heiji took a step back and muttered to himself.

"Conan, who are they?" Ran asked.

Upon hearing this, Conan snapped out of his daze and quickly explained, "They are Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama from Osaka. They've come to see Shinichi."

"Looking for Shinichi, huh? I see." Ran nodded, then turned her gaze to Hattori Heiji: "But who told you that I'm Shinichi's woman?"

She already had someone she suspected.

"She said her name was Suzuki Sonoko. She told me all this, and she also told me to come here to find Kudo Shinichi."

"You can come to me if you can't find Shinichi Kudo, you know where he is!"

"It really is Sonoko!" Ran was speechless.
