Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 122 ended before it even began.

"What are you laughing at?" Hattori Heiji asked, his expression displeased at the undisguised laughter of Keisuke and Ai.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about something happy." Ai Haibara has a strong ability to control her emotions, and she regained her calm expression when Heiji Hattori asked her a question.

Hui Jie had been holding back his laughter, but upon hearing Ai's words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing Heiji Hattori's face gradually turning red, he coughed twice and waved his hand, saying, "Sorry, I was just thinking of something happy too."

Hattori Heiji frowned, looking at the two perfectly in sync in front of him with some confusion, wondering if he had just said something funny.
Shaking his head, Hattori Heiji continued to use his goading tactic method, saying to Teruyuki, "How about it? Your combination versus my combination with Kudo, what, you're not scared, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Ai chuckled slightly, but only for a moment before quickly regaining her composure.

Heiji Hattori turned his head quickly, but still couldn't catch Ai's smile, so he frowned and continued looking at Keisuke in front of him, saying:
"Of course, to be fair, we will tell you some information about the murderer. He is an international fugitive, codenamed 'Scoobing'..."

Before Hattori Heiji could finish speaking, he saw the corners of Kosuke's mouth gradually curving upwards as he frantically made various expressions to restrain himself. Although he hadn't laughed out loud yet, everyone knew that Kosuke was trying his best to hold back his laughter.

Seeing Keisuke's expressive face, Ai came to his side with a hint of helplessness, cupped his face with both hands, and helped soothe the nerves in his face to prevent him from accidentally having a cramp.

Hattori Heiji slammed his fist on the table in annoyance, and shouted, "Hey! I've been putting up with you two for ages! What are you laughing at?!"

Huijie was prepared to give Hattori Heiji enough respect. He looked away and took several deep breaths, but he still couldn't suppress his smile.

Ai looked at Keisuke, who was still struggling with himself, and patted his back to help him catch his breath. At the same time, she asked Hattori Heiji, "Speaking of which, haven't you fulfilled the bet you lost last time?"

When Hattori Heiji heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Could it be that he had to make another bet even though he hadn't fulfilled his own bet? That's why Terusuke couldn't help but laugh.
Thinking of this, Heiji Hattori said to Ai, "That's right, you can make your requests at any time!"

“In that case, I’ll make the suggestion!” Ai glanced at Keisuke, and after seeing Keisuke nod, she said to Hattori Heiji, “I want you to call the police and say that there is an international criminal named ‘Scobbin’ on the ship, and have the police set up an ambush to catch her.”

"Of course, you must report this to the police in your own name. You cannot tell or imply to anyone else that we are involved in this matter, including your good brother Kudo. Is that acceptable?"

"Her?" Hattori Heiji caught the key information and looked at Ai with disbelief, asking, "Have you already discovered 'Scott's' true identity?"

Hui Jie finally recovered and nodded to Hattori Heiji, saying, "It's that Pu Siqinglan. She's a descendant of that Russian Rasputin, so she keeps shooting people in the right eye and is also collecting things from the Romanov dynasty."

“Puss Qinglan… Rasputin…” Hattori Heiji repeated the two somewhat similar names, then asked Huijie, “But that doesn’t necessarily mean she is that ‘Scoughing’!”

Hearing Hattori Heiji's words, Teruyuki rolled his eyes and said, "Just do as I say. We'll find the evidence by searching her luggage. I'm not a detective. I don't have to find evidence step by step."

After saying that, Teruyuki stuffed the gift box in his hand into Hattori Heiji's hand and pushed it out the door.

Looking at the closed door in front of him, Heiji Hattori was somewhat dazed. Now he finally understood why Keisuke and Ai had been laughing just now, and he also understood why Conan reacted the way he did to Keisuke. It turned out that their competition was over before it even began!

Heiji Hattori recalled what Conan had told him: that Keisuke was a master hacker. He sighed helplessly, but then his fighting spirit was rekindled.

It must be admitted that when facing criminals like "Kaito Kid" and "Scholes" who operate over a long period of time and on a wide scale, Teruyuki is indeed the better choice.

But Heiji Hattori wasn't about to give up easily. He was determined to compete with Keisuke again in everyday murder cases. After all, in Heiji's view, the reason he lost this time was simply due to the lack of access to information, not a difference in reasoning ability.

He then went to fulfill his promise to Hui Jie and reported the incident to the Metropolitan Police Department, informing them to prepare to ambush Pu Si Qinglan.

……

Metropolitan Police Department.

"What? Hattori-kun, are you serious?"

"Okay... I understand!"

Seeing Inspector Megure put down the phone, Officer Takagi looked at him curiously.

Inspector Megure looked at Inspector Takagi with a serious expression and said, "Takagi, notify all on-duty personnel at the Metropolitan Police Department to prepare. We have a mission this afternoon!"

After saying that, Inspector Megure walked towards the door. Such a large-scale operation required reporting to his superiors.

Suddenly, he saw Officer Shiratori, who was supposed to be on leave, and asked in confusion, "Shiratori? What are you doing here?"

Officer Shiratori shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "I'm too idle, I can't stand it. By the way, Officer Megure, you seem to be in a hurry, is there something you need?"

Inspector Megure nodded, immediately accepting the explanation, and then said to Inspector Shiratori, "Ah, someone just called the police, saying that an international criminal has been discovered and that I need to set up an ambush to arrest him. I need to report to Commander Matsumoto now."

"Then I won't bother you any longer." Inspector Shiratori, or rather, Phantom Thief Kid, looked at Inspector Megure's retreating figure and smiled slowly.

But before they could wait long, they received another call from Xiaolan reporting the incident to the police.

"What? You said there was a murder on the Suzuki family's cruise ship, and a photographer was shot in the right eye and died?"

Inspector Megure frowned; this had disrupted their carefully laid ambush plan.

……

At the same time, at Dr. Agasa's house.

Professor Agasa has just finished making the new tracking glasses with bulletproof lenses that Conan ordered from him, and is sitting in a chair staring blankly at his phone.

"When they come back tomorrow, Huijie and Ai should have time to formally meet Fusae!"

Thinking that after so much time had passed, it was finally time for a formal meeting, and Dr. Agasa was filled with anticipation for the next day.
