Prior to this, the Mori Detective Agency.

Exhausted from their journey, Kogoro Mouri and his companions have returned to the Mouri Detective Agency.

The sleeping detective yawned and couldn't help but sigh.

"That brat Conan has so much energy."

"I saw him suddenly faint in the early morning and thought something had happened, but now he seems to be lively and healthy. He came back and ran out to play with his skateboard as soon as he got back."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri, who was standing next to him, corrected him.

"Dad, Conan didn't run off to play."

“He told me that he went to find Brother Chen En.”

"I don't know why, but it seems like Conan really enjoys being with Mr. Chen En, and the other members of the Junior Detective League are the same. Could it be that Mr. Chen En has some qualities that attract children?"

Hattori Heiji, who had followed him into the Mouri Detective Agency, couldn't help but think to himself, "What do I have to say?"

I don't know if Chen En has any qualities that appeal to children.

However, Conan's visit to Chen En this time was definitely not because he enjoyed spending time with Chen En.

He's probably going to put on a show of "no remorse for killing his father".

It's a pity he didn't know where Chen En's new home and the Bat Cave were; otherwise, he would definitely have taken Kazuha to witness such an earth-shattering battle. What a shame.

However, at this point, Kogoro Mouri finally realized what was happening.

He suddenly turned around and looked at Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, saying in surprise.

"Wait a minute, how did you two end up coming back with us?"

Aren't you going back to Osaka Prefecture?

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha exchanged a glance.

Then the two of them said in unison.

"We plan to spend a few days in Tokyo before heading back to Osaka!"

Mori Kogoro:?

This is up to you.

As long as they don't stay at my house, anything is fine. Otherwise, there's no place on the third floor to set up a makeshift bed. I can't exactly send Conan to sleep in the kitchen, can I?

...It doesn't seem like it's impossible.

Anyway, with Conan's height, you could easily stuff him into the kitchen cupboard.

Kogoro Mouri is thinking about something very dangerous.

However, Heiji Hattori was too lazy to discuss this matter further with Kogoro Mouri.

Instead, he held up one finger and continued.

"When I came to Tokyo last time, I helped a friend solve a vicious murder case."

“My friend told me that he saw a suspicious figure in Beikacho 4-chome. He has a friend who lives in Beikacho 4-chome and he hopes I can go and check on the situation there.”

"Besides, wasn't that recent infamous series of arson attacks in Tokyo carried out according to ward divisions and numbers?"

"Beihu-cho 4-chome also fits all the characteristics of that arsonist's next arson location."

"I'm planning to go to Beikacho 4-chome to see if there are any suspicious people there..."

Before Hattori Heiji could finish speaking, Mori Kogoro asked in an annoyed tone.

"No, why are you telling me this?"

He fell silent before he could finish speaking.

His gaze swept across Ran Mouri, Kazuha Toyama, and Heiji Hattori before he spoke.

"You don't mean to ask me to come with you to investigate over there, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji gave a thumbs-up and said with a smile.

"As expected of Tokyo's famous detective, he's really amazing."

"I don't have a car in Tokyo, and I'm not an adult yet, so it's inconvenient to rent one. That's why I had to ask Uncle Mori to take us there. It'll be a good opportunity for Uncle Mori to show off his skills!"

That makes sense; after all, it is indeed inconvenient for minors to travel.

Kogoro Mouri nodded slightly, acknowledging the reasoning given by Heiji Hattori.

Then he suddenly looked up, a look of doubt appearing in his eyes.

Did you just say you don't have a car in Tokyo?

"So, you were driving in Osaka Prefecture? Aren't you a minor? If you were driving in Osaka Prefecture, wouldn't the Osaka police arrest you? What kind of car were you driving there?"

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji realized he had let something slip.

So he chuckled awkwardly, scratched the back of his head, and finally said...

"Haha, of course it's a police car."

Mori Kogoro:?

I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it.

You are the son of Hattori Heizo, the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, right?

Then never mind what I said.

Anyone with connections is remarkable.

Kogoro Mouri's face darkened.

Finally, he said it in a rather irritable tone.

"Okay, okay, get in the car... Wait, I'm renting a car too."

"Why are you talking like you own a car?"

Although there were some minor setbacks along the way.

But Heiji Hattori still managed to get into Kogoro Mouri's car as he wished.

The vehicle moved quickly toward Beikacho 4-chome.

When I came to a traffic light, it was red, so I stopped.

Heiji Hattori sat by the rear window and chatted with Kazuha Toyama next to him.

Then he felt like someone was watching him.

So he subconsciously turned his head to look at the source of the gaze, and saw a person who looked a lot like Chen En sitting by the window of a restaurant, chatting and eating with someone.

By the time Hattori Heiji wanted to check again, the vehicle had already started moving.

The figures in the restaurant became a blur, then quickly disappeared from sight.

"Heiji, what are you looking at?"

Kazuha Toyama curiously leaned over and asked.

She wanted to see what Hattori Heiji had been looking at, but she couldn't see anything except the rapidly moving street scene outside, so she sighed.

"After this case is solved, shall we go to Meiji Shrine?"

"I've heard that the fortune sticks at Meiji Shrine are very accurate, so I might as well go there to pray for good fortune and draw a fortune stick!"

"And didn't Aunt Jinghua also ask you to bring her a token back with you?"

The "Aunt Shizuka" mentioned by Kazuha Toyama is naturally referring to Hattori Heiji's mother, Hattori Shizuka.

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji's face darkened.

Honestly, the effectiveness of fortune-telling is only real when you do it yourself.

My mother is clearly a master of kendo, and she is also very gentle in her daily life.

How could someone go out for barbecue with friends, only to get their foot pricked by a skewer and have to rest in bed? Nobody would believe it... It's a disgrace to a master swordsman.

"Okay, okay, I know."

"Aunties are such a hassle."

Hattori Heiji remarked with emotion.

Upon hearing this, Toyama Kazuha's face darkened.

How could you call your own mother "auntie"?

The family was overjoyed by the filial piety.

However, when it comes to sword masters...

Hattori Heiji subconsciously recalled his mother's opponent in a kendo competition when she was in junior high school.

At that time, Hattori Shizuka was still known as Ikenami Shizuka. Unlike now, she was not a Yamato Nadeshiko type of person, but a Kendo master who was obsessed with Kendo, until she was pinned to the ground and beaten by her first-year junior in a tournament.

That junior's name seems to be... Tsubaki Michiko?

But it feels a little strange.

Why have we never heard of such a master swordsman since?

(Michiko Tsubaki, also known as Michiko Tetsu, is the mother of Tetsuken and Tetsuyuu. She is mentioned in TV episodes 239-240. This mother and son are really something else. The mother is hung up and beaten by Michiko Tetsu, and the son is hung up and beaten by Okita Souji.)

(The legend of the Iron Sword is said to be true.)
