Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 233 Kazuha, you don't want Hattori Heiji to find out about this, do you?!

"It really is Sonoko!" Ran was speechless.

When Hattori Heiji mentioned that he had been to Teitan High School, she had this suspicion in her mind, and Sonoko's image flashed through her mind.

But now, she is absolutely certain that this is what Sonoko was talking about.

Heiji Hattori himself said so.

That annoying Sonoko! Who is Shinichi's woman? She tells everyone everything!
Just as Ran was getting annoyed and blushing, Conan's face also turned bright red, like a monkey's bottom, and he hurriedly began to defend himself.

"Hey, you dark-skinned big brother, what are you talking about?" Conan 'glared' at Hattori Heiji. What was this guy talking nonsense about? What if Ran misunderstood?

"Dark-skinned?"

Upon hearing those two words, Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes, strode over, paused, and looked at Conan with a somewhat unfriendly gaze: "Little brother, you should show more respect to your older brother."

"And you just said something like, 'Xiaolan is my woman'?"

"What does this mean, little brother?"

Although the noise was quite loud, with several people talking, and it happened on the street, his keen hearing still picked up a tiny bit of what Conan said.

This statement aroused Hattori Heiji's suspicion.

Why would a child ask, "Xiaolan is my woman," after hearing what he said?
It's very strange, really very strange.

It was precisely this point that made Heiji Hattori feel that Conan was a little off.

He also felt that the little brat looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, and that he was somewhat familiar with him.

But I just can't remember where I saw it before.

In short, he definitely saw this guy somewhere before.

"How interesting."

Ai Haibara crossed her arms and looked at Conan, who was covered in sweat, her smile never fading.

Watching plays is so enjoyable.

It would be even better if there were a cup of milk tea, cola, or potato chips as well.

How can you watch a play without snacks?

Here, your Coke and potato chips.

Suddenly, Kitahara Natsuhiro handed him a can of cola and some potato chips, while he himself started drinking another can of cola.

Ai looked at the cola and potato chips in front of her, took them, and asked softly, "When did you buy these?"

"So fast?"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and said, "I bought it from the vending machine next door while you were engrossed in the show."

"Since we're here to watch a show, we'll need some cola and sunflower seeds, but there are no sunflower seeds over there, only potato chips. We'll have to make do with that."

As a seasoned spectator, he always kept plenty of sunflower seeds and cola in his unknown space, but this time the sunflower seeds and cola were gone.

He could only buy it from the vending machine next door.

So it's just something to make do with.

"You're really well-prepared!"

Ai nodded, opened the cola and took a gulp, then tore open the bag of potato chips, picked out a chip with her slender fingers, put it in her mouth, and chewed it carefully.

Indeed, one should eat and drink something while watching a play; that's what makes a top-notch audience member.

"Of course."

Kitahara Natsuyu smiled, ate a potato chip, and happily watched the show.

Meanwhile, Conan and the others were completely unaware that the two spectators were still tormenting each other.

Conan and Heiji Hattori are tormenting each other, while Kazuha Toyama and Ran are clearing up some misunderstandings.

And this misunderstanding is that Shinichi Kudo is a woman's misunderstanding.

"So Shinichi Kudo is a man. I thought he was a girl. I was worried for nothing." Kazuha Toyama smiled.

It's so great that she's not a girl.

That way, she'll have one less rival in love.

However, what Kazuha Toyama didn't know was that her real rival wasn't Shinichi Kudo, but a woman named Momiji Ooka.

This woman not only surpasses Kazuha in figure, but also in family background, and her appearance is almost identical to Kazuha's.

It can be said that Momiji Ooka is Kazuha Toyama's rival in love, not the 'dead' Shinichi Kudo.

Upon hearing this, Ran couldn't help but tease, "So, Miss Toyama, you're jealous because of Shinichi?"

"So, the person you like is Hattori Heiji."

"No, please don't say it!"

Upon hearing this, Kazuha immediately covered Ran's mouth and whispered in her ear, "You can't tell Heiji about this."

"We can't tell anyone else either, otherwise..."

She clenched her fists and threatened.

But this threat was nothing to Ran, who was a karate expert and the captain of the Teitan High School karate club.

Besides, she's not Sonoko; she's known for keeping her mouth shut!

"Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone!" Xiaolan assured her.

Hearing this, Toyama Kazuha also breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, this matter was a secret, but because of her explanation just now, it is no longer a secret. Others may not know yet, but Xiaolan definitely knows now.

Damn it, a girl actually got hold of my weakness.

Today was really terrible.

"Cough cough."

Just then, Kitahara Natsuyu suddenly coughed twice, attracting the attention of Toyama Kazuha and Ran.

When Kazuha Toyama saw the two people drinking cola and eating potato chips next to him, his face instantly froze, and his smile vanished.

Kazuha Toyama's smile did indeed disappear, but it strangely appeared on the faces of Natsuhiro Kitahara and Ai.

"Excuse me, we heard about this too. Miss Yuanshan and Miss Ye, you won't kill us to silence us, will you?" Kitahara Natsuyu said with a grin.

"You...you found out too?" Toyama Kazuha was silent for a few seconds, his face full of bitterness.

This is a secret, a complete secret!

Why did my trip to Tokyo become such a well-known event?

I shouldn't have come to Tokyo with Heiji in the first place. I'm just asking for trouble!
"Okay, we understand." Ai said while eating potato chips, "We heard everything you just said."

"So now you only have two paths to choose from."

"Two roads?" Toyama Kazuha was stunned.

"The first option is to kill us to silence us." Ai held up one finger. "The second option is to invite us to dinner and bribe us with some benefits."

"One meal is enough, it's very cheap!" A sly glint flashed in Ai's eyes.

Indeed, the outside world is more exciting!
It's been a long time since I've experienced something so joyful and interesting.

"Oh, you're treating us to dinner?" Toyama Kazuha was taken aback.

She thought they were going to do something serious, but if a meal could settle things, then there wouldn't be any problem. As for the first option, she definitely wouldn't choose it. After all, her father was a police officer in the Osaka Police Department; how could she possibly kill someone for something like that?

Therefore, the only option left is the second path.

She also realized that the girl opposite her was teasing her, clearly trying to scare her and make fun of her.

I had no intention of using this to threaten her.

He's a good person, but not entirely a good person.

“That’s right, treat us to dinner right next door,” Ai said, pointing to the Kitahara Chinese Restaurant next door.

Upon hearing this, Kazuha Toyama looked to the side and saw the large characters on the store sign. She read them aloud: "Kitahara Chinese Restaurant?"

"It's a Chinese restaurant, and they serve Chinese food?"

"Hahaha"

Just then, Xiaolan, who was standing nearby, suddenly laughed.

"Miss Mori, what's wrong?" Kazuha Toyama asked, looking puzzled.

Ran said softly, "Actually, this restaurant is owned by Kitahara-sensei, and this lady is Kitahara-sensei's colleague, the school nurse at Teitan Elementary School."

"So, Haibara-sensei is helping Kitahara-sensei get business."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Toyama Kazuha was dumbfounded: "So they are teachers. I thought they were residents living in this area."

"And is this really a teacher? She looks so young."

"Thank you for the compliment." Ai smiled and said, "I am eighteen years old this year, but I already have double doctorates in chemistry and medicine from Harvard University."

"I had already received offers from major research institutions in the United States, but I wasn't interested in any of them, so I returned to Japan."

The above is partly false and partly true.

The truth is that Ai's academic credentials are real. The lie is that she wasn't uninterested in the invitations from those institutions, but rather because of the Black Organization's relationship with Miyano Akemi.

Because of this, Ai returned to Japan from the United States.

Otherwise, Ai would have already obtained American citizenship by now, become an elite talent in the United States, earning US dollars and living in a big villa.

It won't be like it is now, stuck in a primary school as a health teacher.

But this is the kind of life Ai longs for, and she loves it very much.

"hiss!!!"

After hearing about Ai Haibara's educational background, Kazuha Toyama and Ran couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

They really didn't expect that Ai Haibara's academic background was so impressive.

He graduated from Harvard University with dual doctorates in chemistry and medicine, and was only eighteen years old.

Is this the world of genius?
These ordinary people simply cannot understand it.

"Is all of this true?" Toyama Kazuha swallowed hard, his face filled with shock.

Ai yawned and said, "Of course it's true. I have no reason to lie to you two little girls with these things."

"You can even check on Harvard's official website. I'm an outstanding student, and I'm still listed on their website."

These are all true; her photo is indeed still on the official website.

However, these photos have already been processed by Vermouth, so there's no problem.

After hearing Ai Haibara's confident assertion, Kazuha Toyama and Ran no longer had any doubts.

After all, scammers don't have that much confidence.

"Ms. Haibara, you're amazing! You have two bachelor's degrees, and from Harvard University no less!" Ran Mouri said with envy.

If she could, she would want to have that kind of power, but it's never shown up.

The gap between people is greater than the gap between people and dogs.

Incidentally, Eri Kisaki is a high-achieving graduate of the University of Tokyo, majoring in law.

It can be said that Eri Kisaki is also at the top of the talent pool in Japan.

If it weren't for Kogoro Mouri's delay, Eri Kisaki's achievements would be even greater.

"Harvard is just so-so, nothing special." Ai shrugged, looking indifferent.

For her, this was something she could do with her hands, requiring no effort whatsoever.

"Um"

Kazuha Toyama and Ran Mouri exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say.

They hate geniuses!
“That’s right,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said at this moment, “Harvard University isn’t anything special.”

"After graduation, he still became a primary school teacher at Teitan Elementary School, just like me."

"Therefore, Harvard University and Beika University have no connection."

The school nurse is the same as the physical education teacher, and Kitahara Natsuhiro is the same as Haibara Ai.

Harvard University = Beika University.

OK, I've solved this problem.

"Um"

When Toyama Kazuha and Ran heard Kitahara Natsuyu's sophistry, they were at a loss for words.

Although it's sophistry, there's a grain of truth to it.

And it diminished their awe of genius by a tiny bit.

After all, even geniuses teach at Teitan Elementary School.

However, one thing is certain: Ai Haibara did it voluntarily.

While Kitahara Natsumi and the others were chatting enthusiastically, Conan and Hattori Heiji also reached some kind of agreement and put their arms around each other's shoulders.

"I see, I see." Hattori Heiji nodded repeatedly. "You became like this because of that drug!"

"But do such miraculous drugs really exist in the world?"

"And that organization you mentioned, how come I don't have any information about it at all?"

Under Heiji Hattori's persistent questioning, Conan finally revealed the truth and told his secret.

Conan's quick surrender was related to Hattori Heiji's threats and also to Hattori Heiji's family affairs.

Heiji Hattori's father was the highest-ranking officer in the Osaka Prefectural Police.

If we can get Heiji Hattori's help, he might be able to get clues about the Black Organization.

To this day, he has absolutely no clue about the criminal organization.

As for the reason, it's all Kitahara Natsuhiro's fault.

Because of Kitahara Natsuhiro, the plot of the Conan world has changed drastically, and the storyline of Conan encountering members of the Black Organization has also been completely altered.

This is why Conan knows so little about the organization.

"This organization is definitely not an ordinary organization, as it was able to develop this drug."

“Your dad definitely won’t tell you,” Conan explained.

“That makes sense.” Hattori Heiji stroked his chin and nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you with this. I’ll secretly gather information for you and I absolutely won’t let my dad know!”

Hattori Heizo: You unfilial son!
