...it could be. It's kind of like thinking santa died or something.
[A long pause and a nod.] Then he would do it. Hide the truth from the son who might have idolized his father, right?
... [Well, Hakuba COULD find it all out easily enough if he digged, considering his connections.]
Stop giving me that look. [Looks annoyed and puts on a kid pout, crossing his arms.] I don't know anything. If I did then I'd tell Ran-neechan. I know he's on some big case. I know he contacts his parents and Hattori-niichan. He doesn't like the police to say his name. I don't know anything beyond that. [And it was all information that Hakuba could gain too easily so hiding it would be too suspicious.]
Hattori-niichan is bad at lying. If Shinichi-niichan wants to keep something quiet and Hattori-niichan knows even a little bit, of course he'll get agitated. He doesn't want to betray that trust. Because he EARNED that trust from Shinichi-niichan. [And Hakuba didn't. He doesn't know near enough about Hakuba to know how well he'd handle the case.]
