Chapter 625: Golden hair in Jodie's bathroom

"And the bathroom drain."

Conan pointed to the tiny golden hairs near the drain.

"If you look closely, you'll find some golden hairs here that weren't rinsed away. Western women have larger pores and relatively thicker body hair, but Jodie-sensei's calves were quite clean just now; it's very likely she just shaved them."

"Under normal circumstances, no one would leisurely shave their legs while a guest is waiting, right? So, the time she took her bath must have been earlier, at least half an hour ago."

"You're right!"

Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement and also lowered his head to look at the drain.

Then, his brows furrowed slightly, and he raised a question.

"However, I don't think leg hair should be this long. Could it be... she wasn't shaving her leg hair just now!"

After Hattori Heiji finished speaking, the two looked at the finger-long golden hairs in the drain again, couldn't help but exchange glances, and both fell silent.

At the same time, in the bedroom, Jodie was on the phone with Akaso Kaze.

"Oh? There's such a thing? That kid named Conan is actually Kudo Shinichi? He became small because he took a drug from the Black Organization?"

"That's too magical. If it weren't for you, Akaso-san, I really wouldn't dare believe it if someone else told me."

"Is that Hattori Heiji also a high school detective? He's so dark, I thought he was mixed-race."

Akaso Kaze on the other end of the phone suddenly frowned.

Conan and Hattori Heiji visiting Jodie—this plot point sounded a bit familiar.

"By the way, you need to be careful. Those two are synonymous with the God of Death, especially Conan. It would be a true rarity if someone didn't die wherever he appears."

"Ah? Is that so? Then I'll be careful."

Jodie pursed her lips and lowered her voice, saying: "Are you coming over tonight? I... I have a surprise for you."

"Alright, I'll come over once they leave."

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly and hung up the phone.

A surprise, huh?

That is truly something to look forward to.

Conan and Hattori Heiji returned to the living room, sat on the sofa waiting, and glanced at the door to Jodie's bedroom from time to time.

After a while, Hattori Heiji raised his hand to check his watch and pouted: "Seriously, this Jodie-sensei is really slow. It's been half an hour and she's still not done changing."

"Can't be helped. It's always a waste of time for women to change clothes before going out; it's annoying to wait." Conan rested his chin on his hand, acting like someone who had seen it all.

As the two were talking, they heard the bedroom door give a soft "creak."

Jodie walked out, smiling and waving at Conan and the others: "Hi! Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Not at all, it hasn't been that long."

Conan and Hattori Heiji quickly stood up, looking at Jodie.

Jodie was wearing a tight, deep purple jacket on her upper body, tied at the waist, revealing a slender midriff.

Conan and Hattori Heiji let out an "uh," their gazes somewhat stunned.

Honestly, Americans are just different!

She's clearly a teacher, yet she dresses like this.

Jodie, wearing glasses, swept a faint glance over Conan and the others, walked to the coat rack, and picked up her pink bag.

"Then let's go. There's a nice cafe across the street; how about we go there?"

"Sure, no problem!"

Conan and Hattori Heiji replied, and the three chatted as they walked toward the elevator.

"Oh, so you know Akaso-san too," Jodie said with a smile.

"Yeah, the three of us are quite close; we've solved several cases together."

Hearing Hattori Heiji say this, Conan had a face full of black lines.

Are you sure you solved cases together?

Isn't it more like your face turned black from being upstaged?

He pouted and asked curiously: "Does Jodie-sensei also know Akaso-niisan?"

"Of course! He's the most handsome Onmyoji in Tokyo! How could I not know him?"

Jodie's eyes were sparkling.

She turned her head and said with a smile: "But it still surprises me; I didn't expect Akaso-san to have a foreign friend like you."

"Eh? What foreign friend?" Hattori Heiji was a bit confused.

"Aren't you a foreigner?" Jodie looked at Hattori Heiji with some puzzlement.

"Your skin is much darker than the average person, and your accent is also very strange."

So that's what she meant. Conan couldn't help but snicker.

You hateful guys!

Hattori Heiji was exasperated.

"Give me a break! My skin is just a little dark, and what's so strange about an Osaka accent!"

"Osaka gun?" Jodie pretended to be very confused. "Is that a type of rifle?"

"God, I'm truly defeated by you." Hattori Heiji's face turned even darker.

Jodie chuckled inwardly. Are these two silly boys really detectives?

They're too easy to fool.

In fact, she had already called Akaso Kaze while in the room earlier, and Akaso Kaze had already told her about Conan and Hattori Heiji's situation. ===== CHAPTER 627 =====
