Daddy's Little Girl – Heiji and Yukiko
Most people had trouble picturing Heiji Hattori with children. He seemed too rough around the edges. Most of them had never seen him with his own children of those of his extended family. So a number of people were surprised when he showed up at a murder scene with his four year old daughter, Yukiko. He hadn't planned on bringing her, but they had just been across the street at a café when the murder happened, and she had insisted he go solve it. Or in her own words: "Go catch the nasty, Daddy!"
Heiji ignored the inquiring glances people were directing towards Yukiko and studied the scene. Yukiko perched quietly on a wall watching him. It reminded him of her mother, who would probably kill him if she knew how they were spending their afternoon.
One of the suspects, stepping back from a police officer, jostled the little girl knocking her off her perch. Heiji quickly scooped her up, but not before Yukiko had managed to scrape up her knee. He dealt with that with one of the Band-Aids he now always carried in his pocket.
"Daddy, why does the dead body have lipstick on its fingers?"
He did a quick double take. The body did have lipstick on its fingers. He smiled as the pieces came together to solve the mystery. It looked like Yukiko was going to be a fine detective one day. Maybe that would keep the boys away from her.
