Chapter 527: Hattori Heiji found his first love?
The next day, hospital.
When Hattori Heiji woke up, he found many people surrounding his bed.
"Heiji, you're finally awake." Toyama Kazuha came over with a worried look on his face.
"Ah..." Hattori Heiji struggled to sit up.
"Don't move. You have a cut on your shoulder. Fortunately, it's just a superficial injury." Yuanshan Heye blamed him, but still considerately put a pillow under his waist to help him sit up.
Hattori Heiji looked at the familiar Officer Otaki in confusion, then looked at the person next to him: "Who are you?"
Shiratori Renzaburo coughed lightly, took out his handbook and said, "I'm Shiratori from the Metropolitan Police Department. I heard that the murdered Mr. Sakura Masazo was a member of the Minamoto Cocoon, so I rushed here from Tokyo."
Officer Otaki told Hattori Heiji: "We found the artwork they stole in Sakura Masazo's store. We are already identifying it and contacting the owner."
Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly he felt a pain in his shoulder and couldn't help but let out a hiss.
Yuya blamed, "Didn't I tell you to be careful? How did you get hurt?"
Hattori Heiji laughed dryly and said, "I'm not meeting a guy who might be the murderer. How could I let go of such a good opportunity?"
Yuya raised his hand and poked Hattori Heiji's shoulder, causing him to scream: "Luckily you are lucky and Toyama-san is smart enough, otherwise we wouldn't be seeing you in the hospital today."
Hattori Heiji chuckled twice.
At this time, Ayanokouji walked in, looked at Hattori Heiji and said, "You're awake."
Hattori Heiji asked quickly: "Inspector, where is the short sword?"
Perhaps Hattori Heiji was injured, or maybe he found something that might be the murder weapon. Ayanokouji's attitude was not as bad as before: "It has been sent for testing."
Hattori Heiji said: "Be sure to inform me when you have the results. If that is not enough, I can also provide you with my wound as evidence." He pointed to his injured shoulder.
Yuanshan Heye was stunned: "What evidence?"
Hattori Heiji explained: "It can prove that the short knife was the murder weapon that killed Sakura Masazo. If the knife had come into contact with the murderer's skin, maybe we can collect some skin dandruff... By the way, what about the motorcycle?"
Ayanokouji said, "It's a pity, it was just a stolen car."
Want to find evidence of the murderer? Toyama Kazuha suddenly remembered that she hit the murderer's mask with a sock filled with stones last night. There should be some fragments at the scene, right? But she was in a hurry to send Hattori Heiji to the hospital and didn't think of collecting them.
···
Yuya, Hattori Heiji and Conan came to the Mizuo family.
Ryugen, Nishijo Taiga and Mizuo Harutarou, at the agreed place, discussed with Chiga Suzu who killed Sakura Masao.
They were surprised to hear that Bu Heiji was attacked.
"We would like to ask for Mr. Mizuo's alibi, because the murderer was wearing a Noh old man's mask at the time." Hattori Heiji said.
"Noh mask?" Mizuo Harutarou was a little surprised, and immediately realized that he was a suspect. He said hesitantly, "I went to my room to sleep after I came back last night, but I'm single now, and my mother's room is quite far from mine, so no one can help me prove my alibi."
Yuuya looked at the other two: "Where are Mr. Ryugen and Mr. Saijo?"
The two were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other. Nishijo Taiga spoke first, "It's the same for me. I live alone on the second floor of the store."
Long Yuan also said, "I chanted for a while in the main hall last night and then went back to my room to sleep. Similarly, no one could prove it for me."
"I see," Hattori Heiji pondered for a moment, remembering that the man last night was able to draw a bow and shoot arrows on a moving motorcycle, so he must be a master of archery, so he asked, "Are you three practicing archery?"
"Bow and arrow? No." Nishijo Taiga denied it without thinking too much.
Mizuo Harutaro said, “I once played the bow on the Noh stage.”
Long Yuan: "I have performed the ritual of drawing a bow to exorcise demons, but I have never practiced archery seriously."
None of these three had practiced archery? Conan asked, "Do you know if anyone else present last night had practiced archery?"
Saijo Taiga pinched his chin and thought: "Speaking of which, Yamakura..."
"Huh?" Hattori Heiji was a little surprised, "You said Ms. Yamakura practiced archery? But she wasn't there at the time, right?"
They currently speculate that the person who killed Sakura Masazō was the same person who attacked Hattori Heiji, and the murderer was also in the wine house at the time. Why did Nishijo Taikawa suddenly mention someone who was not present?
Nishijo Taiga suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly waved his hand: "That's not what I meant..."
Yuya narrowed his eyes and looked at Nishijo Taiga with a scrutinizing look: "What does that mean?"
Just as Nishijo Taiga was thinking of an excuse to get away with it, the door of the yard suddenly opened and a woman in a kimono appeared at the door.
"Ah! Miss Chiga is finally here." Nishijo Taiga quickly stood up to greet her.
"Hey, is that Miss Chiga?" Hattori Heiji and Conan were both surprised.
Nishijo Taikawa smiled and said, "It's totally different from the person with makeup on, right?"
Hattori Heiji and Conan were amazed and nodded involuntarily.
"Sorry to bother you." Qian Heling put away her shoes, greeted politely, and then knelt on the tatami.
Nishijo Taiga also sat down. Yuya and Conan noticed that when he sat down, he dragged his right foot back before sitting down.
The two of them couldn't help but look at each other and nodded imperceptibly.
···
After leaving the Mizuo family, Ryugen and Nishijo Taiga took another route, while Chiga Ling and Yuya had to travel together for a while.
Qian Heling casually found a topic: "In fact, Sannoji Temple is right on Rokukaku Road. We are passing Yichuan Road now."
She suddenly started humming while counting on her fingers: "Marutake Iji, Oshiomiike, Sister San, Rokukaku Takonishiki, so it should be on the sixth road." After saying that, she smiled at Hattori Heiji.
Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment. He remembered that when he saw his first love, the little girl was singing the same song.
Conan asked curiously: "What song was that just now?"
Qian Heling smiled and said, "We call it the Ball Song here. It is a song composed of the names of the streets in Kyoto from north to south."
"Maruzhu Yi Erashi Oike
Sister three six-cornered octopus brocade
Four Silk Buddhas, Takamatsu Mangojo
Luggage money sound fish shed
Passed six and seven
After passing Hachijo, you will reach Toji Street.
Nine roads connected into one piece"
After Chiga Ling finished singing, she smiled and said, "This is the complete lyrics. Children in Kyoto use this song to remember street names."
Hattori Heiji couldn't help but ask: "Are you from Kyoto too? How old are you this year?"
Qian Heling smiled and said, "19 years old."
Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment and his expression became serious.
You couldn't help but look up and down at Chiha Ling. He really couldn't imagine that this older sister who looked gentle and intellectual was only two years older than him.
But when I think about the icy queen look that Shiho occasionally shows, it seems understandable.
After sending Chiga Ling away, Conan couldn't help but look at Hattori Heiji: "You don't think she is that little girl, do you?"
Hattori Heiji nodded decisively: "It must be her, she is from Kyoto, and she is slightly older than me, the two-year age difference is just right."
Yuya said with empty eyes: "Didn't she say that all the children in Kyoto can sing this song? Why do you..."
Hattori Heiji seemed to have not heard Yuya's words at all, and clenched his fists excitedly: "Finally I met her, finally!"
You couldn't help but ask, "You just wanted to get attracted to her because she's pretty, right?"
I have to admit that Chiga Suzu is really beautiful when she takes off her makeup, and she speaks gently. This kind of intellectual big sister can be very lethal to a boy of Hattori Heiji's age.
He had reasonable reasons to suspect that Hattori Heiji was so determined just because she was beautiful.
He couldn't help but shout in his heart: Yuanshan Heye, come quickly, your husband is about to be abducted by another woman!
