Chapter 108: In the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of becoming a test subject

　　"Teacher Hayashi! Please give me an autograph!"

　　"And me! Me too!!"

　　"Could you please sign here for me?"

　　"...Okay, wait a moment, let me finish signing this side first. And please be careful not to squeeze."

　　Okonomiyaki restaurant

　　There was a circle of young girls surrounding Hayashi Yoshiki's seat, and he was currently providing them with autograph services with a smile on his face.

　　Maori Kogoro looked on with envy:

　　"So his novels are so popular among girls?"

　　"Well, a lot of girls in our class are reading Yoshiki-san's novels... although it seems like everyone is talking more about him."

　　Xiaolan smiled.

　　Heiji Hattori went to call his family at this moment, while Conan sat next to him with a look of being troubled.

　　He actually cared a little about what Heiji Hattori said - maybe Hayashi Yoshiki had already discovered his identity?

　　If you think about it carefully, he really exposed too many flaws in the diplomat incident. Not long after he went to rest as Conan, Shinichi Kudo suddenly appeared, and both of them had the same symptoms of cold and weakness, plus some of his usual more unusual behaviors...

　　Do you want to test him?

　　Because he had already revealed his true identity in front of Heiji Hattori once, Conan felt that it would not be a big deal even if Hayashi Yoshiki knew the truth... Because of his parents' previous abstract operation, Conan now has a high degree of trust in Hayashi Yoshiki.

　　At this moment, a girl suddenly came over and sat in the empty seat next to Xiaolan.

　　"Excuse me, that's our friend..."

　　"You are that Kudo, right?"

　　"Huh?"

　　Xiaolan was a little dazed when she saw the girl sitting down and then looking at her with a bit of hostility from the side.

　　"Heiji often tells me about you."

　　"Hattori he?"

　　"Hmph, don't pretend, I already know everything!"

　　When Kazuha Toyama said this, she suddenly leaned towards Xiaolan, and the overwhelming momentum made the latter smile innocently and awkwardly: "You are the woman named Kudo who met Heiji in Tokyo and he always talks about, right?!"

　　"No."

　　The soft voice fell into Yuanshan Heye's ears. She was startled for a moment, and when she turned around, she saw a young man with an extremely delicate appearance standing behind her.

　　He just smiled very gently and said:

　　"Kudo refers to Shinichi Kudo, a male high school detective from Tokyo. The person you suspect is Mao Lilan."

　　"..."

　　In an instant, Yuanshan Heye blushed.

　　Her eyes moved back and forth between Xiaolan and Hayashi Yoshiki, who were smiling a little awkwardly. The next second, she stood up and took a step back, blushing and bowing to apologize: "I'm sorry, it turns out I misunderstood. It turns out that you two are a couple!"

　　"ah"

　　Now it was Xiaolan's turn to blush, and she opened her eyes wide in surprise.

　　Hayashi Yoshiki seemed surprised as well.

　　But the surprise soon turned into a bright smile as if he was amused: "So this is how it would appear to outsiders?"

　　Conan raised his head and looked at him.

　　no!

　　He opened his mouth.

　　Isn't this a wrong reaction? Shouldn't most people wave their hands and clarify when they encounter such a misunderstanding? Why don't you deny it, Hayashi Yoshiki! !

　　"Did I misunderstand again?"

　　Yuanshan and Ye suddenly felt even more embarrassed.

　　She looked up at Hayashi Yoshiki's face, feeling inexplicably a little restrained.

　　"You are Hattori's friend, right? If you don't mind, please sit in his seat."

　　".....OK."

　　Yuanshan and Ye sat down.

　　When Xiaolan saw that Toyama and Ye knew that she had misunderstood, she certainly didn't say anything to clarify. She just moved the Okonomiyaki in front of her to Hayashi Yoshiki and said with a smile, "Brother Yoshiki, eat quickly. You have been signing there all the time. If you wait any longer, it will get cold soon."

　　"OK, thanks."

　　Hayashi Yoshiki picked up the cutlery.

　　Xiaolan looked at him with a smile.

　　.....It was originally a normal thing, but Conan always felt a little uncomfortable. Why didn't Xiaolan clarify it?

　　Perhaps sensing Kazuha Toyama's embarrassment, Xiaolan started talking to her again, basically asking about her relationship with Heiji Hattori.

　　It's always easy for girls of similar age to start a conversation.

　　But as he was talking, he suddenly extended the topic to Hayashi Yoshiki.

　　"It seems like Yoshiki-ge has a hard time sometimes."

　　"Well...actually, I've been thinking about making some changes recently so that I won't be so easily recognized."

　　Hayashi Yoshiki slowly put down the cutlery, smiled dumbly and said, "If I change my hairstyle, it should be helpful, right?"

　　"Brother Yoshiki, do you want to change your hairstyle?"

　　"I'm thinking about it, or do you have any suggestions in this regard, Xiaolan?"

　　"Let me think about it..."

　　Xiaolan is quite interested in this.

　　The main reason is that when she interacts with Hayashi Yoshiki, he often praises her about her dressing and accessories, and occasionally gives her some suggestions... Xiaolan quite believes in his aesthetic taste, and now she can't help but want to give some suggestions.

　　"For this kind of thing, Brother Yoshiki can just wear a mask." Conan suddenly said.

　　"That's true."

　　Hayashi Yoshiki nodded.

　　Shortly afterwards, Heiji Hattori came back after making a phone call.

　　As soon as he saw Kazuha Toyama appear, he started yelling in a very straight-forward manner, but he didn't go so far as to ask the other party to go back.

　　After some discussion, Kazuha Toyama also got in the car... Then everyone squeezed into the police car with some difficulty. When Sakata Yusuke was about to start the car, a corpse fell from the sky and hit the hood of the police car.

　　After collecting relevant information and determining that this was a serial murder case, the trip to Osaka turned into a competition between two high school detectives.

　　"Brother, don't you want to come along?"

　　After letting go of Ran Mori and others, Heiji Hattori invited Hayashi Yoshiki to form a team.

　　"Well, I have an important phone call to make later. I'll come back to see you guys later when I'm free. Come on."

　　Hayashi Yoshiki was not very interested in this case.

　　He watched Heiji Hattori and Conan hiding in Heiji Hattori's clothes go away... until they got to the later stage of the investigation. After Hayashi Yoshiki learned the hiding place of Kiichiro Numabuchi based on their clues, he took out a notebook from his arms.

　　--Kiichiro Numabuchi, a former member of the Black Organization who defected.

　　Because of his excellent physical fitness, he was selected by the organization to be trained as a killer, but because he was really useless, he was thrown into the test subject of "APTX4869", but he escaped before the human experiment.

　　This guy already had a record of murder before he joined the organization, and while being hunted by the organization, he accidentally killed three people in succession.

　　Hayashi Yoshiki wrote his name in the notebook.

　　"In the end, you can't escape the fate of becoming a test subject."

　　"--Whether it's APTX4869 or Death Note."
