Chapter 566 The food cooked by the Karasawa family today
“It’s because of that ‘Kudo’ again, but after talking for a long time, I couldn’t find him at all, and there was no place to settle the accounts...”
"What are you talking about, Miss Toyama?" Tangze, who actually heard her words clearly, pretended not to know and looked over blankly, "What, looking for someone or something?"
"No, it's okay!" Toyama and Ye showed a big smile, took the pot from Karasawa's hand, and put it on the plate, "I'm just a little curious... Oh, by the way, Karasawa, you and that Kudo Shin One, we are classmates in high school, right? That’s what Hattori told me.”
“We are indeed, but after I transferred here, Kudo-kun took a leave of absence, so I have never seen him.” Karasawa poured the soup into several bowls one by one and answered casually, "Are you concerned that Hattori came here to investigate this matter because of him?"
"Actually, I just..." Toyama Kazuha put the pot in his hand into the pool, made a heavy sound, and then let out a frustrated breath, "Forget it, Hattori is like this. With or without Kudo, he will take the case Putting your priority first, there is no point in blaming others."
She looked at the dishes in the kitchen and shook her head helplessly.
As long as there is a case, forgetting appointments, leaving people aside, and letting go for hours... She has experienced these things in the past, and even complaining is of no use.
Even herself, doesn’t she like Hattori Heiji’s pure and focused character?
She chose the idiot herself, and now it’s a bit late to regret it.
"Don't be discouraged, Miss Toyama." Tang Ze held up the tray steadily and smiled at her, "People have different personalities and talents. Some people are born not good at being considerate and not good at handling many social relationships. Not being as romantic and considerate as imagined does not necessarily mean that he despises our relationship."
Toyama and Ye looked at Tang Ze's smile for a while, then curled their lips and said, "Even if you say that, it's still pretty. It’s hard to have confidence. He is very sharp when handling cases. Not to mention forgetting the agreed time, he can even remember the casual words of the suspect and the details that he swept away... He remembers these things, but he can’t remember my repetitions. "Excuse me, don't you still care?"
"Well, maybe it's because you are too familiar with it." Tang Ze shrugged, and the center of gravity of the tray in his hand was stable, without any shaking. Being too familiar is like holding the right hand with the left hand, but you will ignore some small things. Whether he values you will definitely show at the critical moment."
And he guessed that the distance is not far away.
Generally speaking, Toyama Kazuha is a fixed refresh type. When she left Osaka with Hattori Heiji, something was basically going to happen.
After the accident, Hattori Heiji would stand in front of her without hesitation in any personal threat, and choose her between himself and her without hesitation...
How should I put it, this kind of crisis? Standing up time and time again may be the reason why these girls will always be pulled. The tricks of the innocent and steely straight man belong to it.
"I think you don't have to stick to the ordinary student couple model and have to try those 'romantic' ones. It's uncomfortable to expect misplaced expectations." Tang Ze walked outside and gave some personal advice, " Wouldn't it be better to find a more suitable way for you to get along? "
What do you call the mode of an ordinary student couple? Are you and Heiji not ordinary students?
Toyama and Ye were stunned by the fact that they were actually in a troubled state of being a masked vigilante girlfriend and had no idea of it.
"Wow, what a sumptuous dish!" Tang Ze walked to the dining table, and Judy raised her arms in cooperation and cheered, "We are solving a case, and you can still find time to come over and have a meal. It's amazing Tang "Ze!"
"It's because you are solving the case that I can take the time to come over and cook." Tang Ze smiled and distributed the bowls on the tray to the people at the table. "I don't care about the case." I wasn’t able to help. I originally planned to go out for dinner, but it was not good to run out hungry at such a late hour, so I thought, I might as well come over and buy something to cook.”
Is it really because he can't be of much help, or is it because he is worried that staying too long will expose his reasoning ability? The popular detective Akechi Goro-kun?
Judy pouted teasingly, winked, and took the bowl from his hand.
Seeing him sit down at the table, Conan and Hattori Heiji, who were a little nervous, breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed instinctively.
Originally, the case was over, it was getting late, and Yuan Shan and Ye were coming, so they should have said goodbye and left Judy's apartment directly.
As a result, Karasawa suddenly raised his hand and said that considering the time issue, no one had eaten dinner yet. He used Judy's kitchen to cook some dishes, so it was better to come over and finish the meal before leaving.
In this way, a nondescript dinner combination was reached, and the two of them stayed in the place that they had searched all over, each feeling uncomfortable in their own way.
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that there is a high school private detective like Hattori-kun in our class." Judy picked up the chopsticks and pinched them twice, "Just like when I arrived It’s like I’m not used to using chopsticks. There are so many minors in Japan. It’s really uncomfortable to be a detective at a crime scene.”
“Well, it’s not just Japan, right?” Thinking of the White Horse Detective who would show up in the future, Tang Ze replied, "Whether he is a minor, it is a good thing if he can solve the case."
"Having said that, if all the cases are solved by private detectives, wouldn't the police be disgraced?" Judy glanced at Tangze curiously, unable to hide her curiosity.
Could this be the reason why Tang Ze created such a false identity? Because detective is a profession where it is easy to gain fame and is not restricted by age?
Yes, considering that he also has a false identity as a black organization, this is indeed a profession that can interact with the police openly without causing the organization to overreact.
"As long as we can improve the detection rate of major cases, successfully file lawsuits and get sentences, it doesn't matter who solves the case. If you can't solve the case, you will really lose your face." Tang Ze picked up a Chopsticks Tofu retorted with reason, "You seem to think that the American police have a lot of face."
"Oh, what you said makes sense." Judy was stunned, then slowly He slowly nodded his head.
I have to say, this is a very convincing argument, especially for the FBI.
After being persuaded, Judy lowered her head and concentrated on eating. This time, she couldn't help but turned into two detectives.
"It's not like we all rely on private detectives to solve the case..." Hattori Heiji, who came from a police family, snorted, "Even without me, my father is still a well-known detective in the police circle, and his speed in solving crimes is top-notch."< br>
"I don't know if you are, but Kudo is like this anyway." Karasawa glanced at him, then glanced at Conan, "So your title is not as cool as his, his title is 'Japanese Police' Savior', 'Heisei's Sherlock', and you, you are 'Kanto's Kudo, Kansai's Hattori'. It can be seen that being brighter than the police has a crucial impact on your reputation."
"I..." Hattori Heiji, who choked on a mouthful of peppercorns, suddenly coughed.
Facing a table with guests from many countries sitting at the table, Karasawa naturally chose the classic set meal. Mapo tofu, which is eaten by people all over the world, plus some salad, fried beef tenderloin with onions, etc., formed a nondescript meal. A table of dishes.
In short, if Japan’s Mapo Tofu is called Chinese food, Karasawa can barely nod his head. If he kills the American General Tso’s Chicken, he will not admit that it is Chinese food!
"Ha, I think this is related to the ability to detect cases." Conan was not very convinced at once, "Same in Tokyo, still an underage detective with a large number of cases, wise title It's completely different, 'Detective Prince', 'Gentle Crime Buster' and so on."
"Oh, that's because of his more handsome features." Tang Ze is not shy. Said calmly.
"Don't you think I... well, brother Shinichi is not handsome?" When discussing this issue, Conan became even more unconvinced.
"Well, of course Kudo is also handsome, and I still receive some letters from the school. However, Akechi is better at dressing up. His image is more impactful and eye-catching. Kudo basically wears school uniforms or ordinary sweaters... so , the number of letters has indeed dropped sharply." Tang Ze believed that his answer was very pertinent.
Conan's little face wrinkled up, and he held the tip of his chopstick in his mouth for a few seconds. Unable to think of any counterarguments, Conan lowered his head and continued to eat.
Damn it, Tang Ze clearly didn’t belittle his reasoning ability, he praised his wise part, and even his appearance that he didn’t care much about, and he didn’t say anything nice, so why was he so aggrieved!
After killing the game again, the King of Healers saw that the dining table had finally returned to some quietness. He lowered his head with satisfaction and tasted his own craft.
Although when Toru Amuro was here, Karasawa had little opportunity to master a rice spoon, but considering that Karasawa did have the need to cook for himself and knew how to cook, Toru Amuro had to some extent taught him. A few kitchen tips.
Now, the flavor of Karasawa's cooking has undergone some subtle changes, and he is still very confident and can conquer Japanese people from all walks of life.
So for a while, there was only the quiet sound of chewing on the table, and Judy, who was used to showing a stereotypical American image, loudly praised the taste of the food from time to time.
"Karasawa said, Mr. Judy, you came to work in Japan because you like Japanese pop culture." Hattori Heiji, who quietly ate half a bowl, finally continued the previous topic, "Then what are you doing? What kind of job do you do in the United States? Are you also a teacher? "
"In the United States..." Judy glanced at Tang Ze who was immersed in eating, and replied with a smile, "That's not the case, I'm here. When I was in the United States, I was, um, a consultant. I just had a teaching qualification and thought the English teacher job was easy to apply for.”
Tang Ze, who was about to finish showing off, looked up after hearing this. she. One thing to say is, indeed, the FBI is a federal agency after all, and Judy's department is a pure special intelligence department. The police consultant is also a consultant, right.
"Have you always been single? You shouldn't be such a beautiful lady." Kazuha Toyama, who had a deep understanding of Hattori Heiji's orientation, asked abruptly.
"I'm single...well, I had an ex-boyfriend, and now I also have someone I like." Judy held her cheeks, not knowing whether she was reminiscing or exhaling with a sigh, " He is a person who puts his career before his relationship. I don’t know if I will have a chance.”
“… Then if you come to Japan, don’t you have no chance at all?” I suddenly felt empathy for him. Yuan Shanhe Ye murmured.
"I came to Japan, of course, because...he also came to Japan." Judy let out two nasal chuckles, paired with her slightly hoarse voice, which gave her a unique maturity. Sexy.
"Hey, didn't you just say that you like Japanese culture..." After receiving an unexpected answer, Toyama and Ye looked towards Judy, and couldn't help but blush when they looked into her water-colored eyes at close range. For a moment.
The beautiful and sexy big sister is so charming that she didn’t even dare to look carefully at the confused expression in Judy’s eyes.
Yuanshan Heye looked blank, with a grain of rice hanging on his lips. He looked very innocent and cute. Judy widened her smile and raised his finger to tap her face: "Girl, let me teach you a little secret... At no time can you tell others that you did something for a certain man. Some things can only be hidden in your heart. Asecretmakesawomanwoman. Do you understand?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table raised their heads from their bowls and looked at Judy, who was leaning on the palm of his hand, full of charm, and remained silent.
The two detectives looked slightly serious and exchanged glances silently.
Yuan Shan and Ye didn't know whether they were clicked by her or completely captured by the big sister's charm. They opened and closed their mouths in a daze, unable to say an answer.
And Tangze...
Tangze looked at her for a while, took out his mobile phone from under the table, and silently sent an email.
【I feel like you are in trouble, Brother Xiuyi. 】
Akai Shuichi, who was sitting in the store warehouse sorting out the eavesdropping content: "?"

“Oh, so after doing this for a long time, you called me here for other people’s business.”
Walking on the way to 2-chome, Toyama and Ye After hearing Hattori Heiji's upcoming schedule, he crossed his arms and puffed his lips in dissatisfaction.
She knew that if it was really about traveling, dating, or shopping, Heiji would not think of her at all.
"Ah, well..." Hattori Heiji cleared his throat and turned his eyes awkwardly.
In fact, this is not entirely the case.
This matter has to start from yesterday’s cruise.
Due to a misunderstanding about why he got on the boat, Mao Lilan once thought that he was taking Toyama and Ye to Ogasawara to see dolphins. Even after it was clarified later, Mao Lilan still asked twice, once The deputy couldn't believe how unprepared he was.
“You like Miss Toyama, isn’t it obvious to everyone?”
“Is it, is it that obvious?!”
"Well...since you have the opportunity to travel, even if you really go there for the case, there is nothing wrong with calling Miss Yuanshan."
"Well, but, she is interested in the case and so on. She has never been interested..."
"Is there a possibility that she is not interested in the case because when you encounter a case, you will put her aside or ignore her? That’s why she’s not interested?” This was Tang Ze, who happened to be carrying juice and came over to sit down. “If you have any commissions or cases in the future, if you take Ms. Toyama with you whenever you have time, then won’t she? Are you so disgusted? Anyway, you are the only one who is busy solving the case, and she is not tired of following her. "
It makes sense and cannot be refuted.
So after thinking deeply about Karasawa's critical comments, he made a temporary decision to call Kazuo over.
"You can't just ignore this kind of thing just because the person you like is your childhood sweetheart and you are familiar enough." In the morning, Karasawa, who brought gifts to Dr. Agasa's house, said this, "Shiho is my sister, how can I Because this is a familiar relative, should we ignore gifts and care? No matter what kind of relationship it is, it needs to be managed and maintained, and it is two-way."
So...
"Ahem. , Actually, I also thought by the way, well, it’s just that it’s not interesting for me to go on a trip, and I want to find someone familiar to accompany me..." Hattori Heiji, who didn’t dare to look at Toyama Kazuba’s expression at all, took a breath and pulled out a Putting his hand in his pocket, "I, um, I was supposed to prepare a souvenir for you this time, but unfortunately I didn't get it... this, a gift."
Received an unexpected answer, Yuan Shan and Ye I couldn't recover for a while, my steps were a little slow, I lowered my head slowly and looked at the palm of Hattori Heiji's hand.
In the small, exquisite velvet box is a sparkling necklace pendant.
Dolphin shaped.

“Gift, you called me here just for this?”
On the table outside the cafe, Kuroba Kaito I found Tangze, who was holding a heavy tome and sitting in the sun reading a book, and got an answer that left him speechless.
Really, mysteriously, I called him, sent him an email, and confirmed the progress of his investigation on X alloy before calling him over. He thought there was something wrong with joker. If you make a major discovery or have some difficult situation that requires his help, you have to come and meet him.
This is what happened...
Kuroba Kaito raised his hand helplessly. Unfortunately, he didn't have a top hat to support him in his daily attire, so he could only pat the messy black hair on his head. .
"Why, you still have objections to giving me something?" Tangze pinched the bridge of his nose and cleared the long list of proper nouns from his head, then put down the book and looked at the person sitting opposite. boys.
Since Polo Cafe is right downstairs from the Maori Detective Agency, in order not to trigger a new bloody plot, he mysteriously asked Kuroba Kaito to remember to come here in disguise.
Being seen by Mao Lilan may cause trouble, which is not good.
"I think you might need something like this, but I'm not sure, so I asked you to come and take a look." Tangze found a black plastic box from his pocket and shook it.
The crisp sound of collision came from the box, and Kuroba Kaito, who was speechless, sat up a little straighter.
Something like glass... or a gem.
“I heard that you are looking for a rare gemstone and have been sending notices and stealing various gemstone collections for this reason. So, I brought you a, um, rather special one. Gem. Come and see?”
