Chapter 269 Regional Conflict
The next day, at noon, Shin-Osaka Station.
After a two-and-a-half-hour drive, Lin Xinyi got off the Shinkansen at Osaka Station with his "girlfriend" and "child" in hand.
Mao Lilan also held a "child" in her hand and walked out of the station side by side with Lin Xinyi.
A conspicuous police car was parked outside the station.
Obviously, that was the car used by the Osaka Prefectural Police to receive Lin Shinichi and others.
The person responsible for picking up the car is also familiar to everyone:
"Mr. Hattori, we meet again!"
Under Conan's heartbroken eyes, Mao Lilan naturally walked forward and shook hands with Hattori Heiji cordially.
"Miss Mori, it's so nice of you to come."
When a friend came from afar, Hattori Heiji was very enthusiastic.
When he saw Lin Xinyi, he greeted him politely:
"Also, Mr. Lin didn't have the chance to see you solve the case last time, so he is lucky this time."
"I'm embarrassed to say it."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Hattori Heiji's dark face:
"My dad insists on inviting you over this time. Actually, it's mainly because of me."
"When I came back after being defeated last week, he advised me to give up my career as a detective and become a technical police officer like you, Mr. Lin."
"I was a little unconvinced and had a little quarrel with him at home. Unexpectedly, he invited you over directly."
"My father wants me to follow you on the case and see what he said, 'the true power of the Japanese police'."
"This" Lin Xinyi was speechless:
In order to educate the children, a management officer was transferred directly from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Is this the power of the Chinese people?
Looking at the dark handsome young man in front of him, Lin Xinyi's eyes suddenly looked more like the Tianlong people.
Like all duplicitous rich second generations, Hattori Heiji obviously doesn't like other people's comments about his family background.
So he immediately changed the topic and continued to greet the people around Lin Xinyi:
"This beautiful lady"
"Is it Miss Chris?"
Before Belmode introduced himself, Hattori Heiji recognized Miss Chrissy, who had made a big splash on TV the day before yesterday:
"I know you, you are Manager Lin's girlfriend."
"In the past two days, the little girls in our high school have been discussing the miracle of love created by you two!"
"Ha ha."
"That is a memory that I will never forget."
A sweet smile appeared on the corner of Belmode's mouth, and he naturally held Lin Xinyi's arm, as if he was intoxicated by the sincere love between the two.
The expression of Miss Haihara on the side suddenly became almost the same as that of Conan-san.
One of them stared at Belmod and the other at Hattori Heiji.
The big eyes were flashing with hostility.
Hattori Heiji briefly looked at Conan, whom he had met before, and then carefully observed Haibara Ai:
"This little lady"
He looked at Haihara Ai's exquisite three-dimensional mixed-race face, and her soft little hands that seemed to be glued to Lin Xinyi with 502 glue.
Look at Lin Xinyi holding a mixed-race little lolita in one hand and a Western beauty in the other.
"Mr. Lin, you and Miss Chris"
"Do you even have a daughter?"
Hattori Heiji asked in shock.
"." There was silence for a while.
"Conan is right."
Miss Haiyuan coldly stood on a united front with Conan:
"You are indeed a third-rate detective."
"Ahem." Hattori Heiji looked away in embarrassment:
There was nothing he could do about it, the scene just now looked too much like Lin Xinyi traveling with his wife and daughter, so he subconsciously said it.
"All right."
After getting to know each other, Hattori Heiji pointed to the police car behind him:
"Everyone, get in the car with me."
"It's already noon. I'll take everyone to try our local Osaka food before going to work at the police station."
"Yes." Everyone nodded and followed Hattori Heiji into the car.
And there was a driver in the police car.
Hattori Heiji sat in the passenger seat, and the three adults in the back each took a seat.
The remaining two children could only sit on the adults' laps.
"This" Conan subconsciously looked at his sister Xiaolan.
But the situation was different from before. Sister Xiaolan did not hold him in her arms with a smile this time. Instead, she smiled at him and narrowed her eyes:
"Conan, you are a big boy now."
"I can't sit in a girl's arms anymore!"
"Okay, okay." Conan felt that his swollen face seemed to be aching again.
Now he has successfully established a relationship with Xiaolan, but he can no longer enjoy the benefits of big sisters. Is it really worth it?
While Conan was thinking about this profound question, he cast an inquiring look at Lin Xinyi.
"This is my seat."
Little Miss Huiyuan naturally got into Lin Xinyi's arms and occupied her position first.
"This" Conan had a headache.
But Belmod quickly helped him resolve the difficulty of having nowhere to sit:
"Xiao Ai" She called out Haihara Ai's nickname with evil intentions: "Make room for Conan and come to Sister Chris."
"Ah?" Hui Yuan Ai's little face was full of resistance: "No, don't!"
"Old woman, I don't want you to touch me—"
"Well"
She held on to Lin Xinyi's clothes, but was still picked up by Belmod without any resistance.
Before she even had time to react, Haiyuan Ai's little face full of indifference was inhumanly suffocated in Belmode's warm and broad chest.
"Let go, let go, I'll be out of breath!"
Hui Yuan Ai gradually gave up struggling.
Now, the seats in the car are finally properly assigned.
"I'm sorry"
Hattori Heiji turned around and apologized politely:
"I didn't expect that so many of you would come, so I only prepared one car."
"It's okay." Lin Xinyi was about to say politely.
But a discordant voice suddenly sounded from the driver's seat:
"It's not our fault that we can't arrange it. After all, who knew you would bring your girlfriend and children with you when you come to handle the case."
"Is this the working attitude of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?"
The voice was bitter, with an undisguised hostility.
The person who spoke was the gentleman in the driver's seat, wearing a suit and glasses, who looked polite and kind.
"Who are you?"
Lin Xinyi frowned quietly.
If we want to be serious, it is indeed against the rules for him to take a large group of family members on a business trip.
But the hostility in the other party's words was so strong, I'm afraid it couldn't be because of this trivial matter.
"Haha. This is Detective Yusuke Sakata, a detective from the Investigation Section 1 of our Osaka Prefecture Higashijiri Branch."
"He was sent to drive to receive you."
"I'm sorry, he spoke a little bit harshly today."
Hattori Heiji awkwardly tried to smooth things over for Lin Shinichi:
"Officer Sakata is actually very kind."
"This time it's mainly because of the recent reports in the newspapers."
Because "Kansai's Hattori" was defeated miserably in Tokyo last week by Mori Ran, who had just debuted a few days ago, the Tokyo crowd, who had always been at odds with Osaka, suddenly launched a wave of regional attacks.
And they just attacked Hattori Heiji's professional level alone.
What's worse is that some good people have also invented a series of inequalities:
It is known that Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (Lin Shinichi)\u003eMouri Ran\u003eHattori Heiji.
In addition, Hattori Heiji's status in Osaka is the same as Kudo Shinichi's in Tokyo, and he is also the savior of the police.
So, Hattori Heiji＞Osaka police.
To sum up, the current Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s capabilities are far greater than those of the Osaka Prefectural Police.
There was already some regional conflict between the two places, but such remarks gradually appeared in newspapers, TV and the Internet, which made all the police officers in Osaka feel unhappy.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Osaka's Hattori Headquarters personally came forward to invite Lin Shinichi from Tokyo, saying that he wanted the police in Osaka to learn from this manager Lin.
How could the Osaka police be convinced by this?
"So, please forgive Officer Sakata for being rude."
"Being said to have lost to Tokyo is the most intolerable thing for us Osaka people."
Hattori Heiji explained helplessly.
But although he tried hard to be polite and humble, there was still a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.
"I see."
Lin Xinyi felt a headache:
"It seems that I will encounter a lot of trouble during this business trip!"
"no need to worry."
"We, the Osaka Prefectural Police, will definitely fully cooperate with the work of the forest management officer and will not cause any hidden obstacles."
Officer Yusuke Sakata softened his words slightly, but his tone was still sharp:
"Please also use your abilities to the best of your ability and let us learn from the advanced concepts of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."
"I" Lin Xinyi looked extremely helpless:
Does it matter to me, a spiritual foreigner, that you Osaka and Tokyo are competing against each other? !
He has no intention of standing up for Tokyo at all.
But Officer Sakata kept his eyes on Lin Xinyi and regarded him as a representative of the people of Tokyo:
"The newspapers say that your level of criminal investigation in Tokyo is high."
"If that's the case, then please ask Manager Lin to show us a little bit of his skills!"
With that said, before driving, Officer Sakata opened the cabinet in front of the passenger seat and took out a thick stack of documents:
"This is what I was asked to bring to you. All the information our Osaka Prefectural Police currently have on this serial murder case."
"Time is of the essence, please ask the Forest Manager to take a look now!"
Lin Xinyi was speechless for a while:
Time is running out, why would you like to send you, the driver, and Hattori Heiji, the greeter, to come over and take you to taste Osaka delicacies?
This guy was clearly unconvinced and wanted to test his ability as a police officer to see what he could say that was worthy of the title of "expert".
"Okay, I'll take a look now."
Lin Xin agreed immediately.
After being scolded so rudely several times, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
So, Lin Xinyi took the pile of documents with a cold face, and by the way, he also shared some with Conan who was sitting on his lap.
"What are you doing?"
Officer Sakata's expression was a little strange.
Hattori Heiji was also a little confused: Is this kind of thing suitable for children?
Lin Xinyi's expression was very calm.
Anyway, the person sent by the organization to monitor was Conan's "real mother", so there was no need for him to control Conan as tightly as before.
As for searching for clues based on the case data, in this aspect that requires more reasoning, he is really not as professional as the Conan kids.
If he were left alone, he probably wouldn't be able to say anything.
Therefore, Lin Xin always stuffed a handful of documents into Conan's hands.
Faced with Officer Sakata's question, he even responded with a cold expression: "Tit for tat."
"Sorry, it sounds a bit unpleasant to say."
"But there are some cases that our elementary school students in Tokyo can solve."
