Chapter 532 Hostage Exchange
As the sky gradually darkened, Saijo Taiga's face began to become more and more ferocious.
He raised his chin slightly, looked at the two adults and one child in the middle of the yard with a look of contempt, and sneered, "I killed Ying Zhengzo because I no longer needed him. The buyer of the Buddha statue has already been found."
Nishijo Taiga exerted a little force on his hand, and Toyama Kazuha felt a pain in her wrist, but she clenched her teeth and did not make a sound, because she knew that if she showed any abnormality at this time, it would easily make Hattori Heiji worry and upset his mood.
"Enough of that," Saijo Taiga gestured to Toyama Kazuha, who was in his grasp, "If you don't want anything to happen to this girl, hand over Baihao!"
Hattori Heiji said without hesitation: "It's no problem for me to give it to you, just let Kazuha go first!"
Saijo Taiga sneered: "Okay, but you have to tell me the location of the Buddha statue first."
Hattori Heiji was stunned. This guy killed so many people, but he didn't even know where the Buddha statue was? He thought about it and understood. If he knew the location of the Buddha statue, he wouldn't have to take the risk of inviting Maori Kogoro to decipher the coded letter.
Hattori Heiji said coldly: "The Buddha statue is in this temple."
Saijo Taiga was very surprised and immediately denied it: "It's impossible, I have turned this place upside down, and there is no Buddha statue at all!"
Hattori Heiji adjusted his hat and sneered, "Is this what they call the darkest place under the lamp? But I'm not lying to you. Are you sure you've searched everywhere?"
Nishijo Taiga was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly looked up at the lighthouse and gave a smug sneer.
He restrained his smile and pushed Yuanshan and Ye forward.
Toyama Kazuha subconsciously looked back at him, and after confirming that the other party was indeed releasing her, she turned around with relief and walked towards Hattori Heiji.
Yuya winked at Hattori Heiji - who nodded in understanding - and then protected Conan behind his legs.
Conan observed Nishijo Taiga carefully. He always felt that there must be something fishy going on as the other party let the person go so easily.
Just as Toyama Kazuha walked down the stairs and Hattori Heiji was about to step forward to greet them, Nishijo Taiga suddenly curled up his lips into a cruel smile, and rushed forward with his sword drawn.
Conan was shocked, and before he could warn him, Hattori Heiji had already rushed forward.
"He Ye, run, don't stop!"
Out of trust in Hattori Heiji, when she saw him rushing towards her in a hurry, Toyama Kazuha instantly understood what was going on. She also knew that if she stayed, she would only become a burden, so she immediately quickened her pace without hesitation.
Hattori Heiji passed by Toyama Kazuha holding a wooden stick - Toyama Kazuha subconsciously turned her head to look, and when she saw Hattori Heiji's resolute profile, her little face couldn't help but blush.
"When did this guy become so handsome?" Yuanshan Heye was a little stunned.
But she didn't stop and soon came to Yuya.
Yuya quickly stepped forward and untied the ropes around her wrists.
Toyama Kazuha was about to turn around to help Hattori Heiji, but was stopped by Yuya.
"Don't go, let's stop these people." Youye said calmly.
Yuanshan Heye turned around and saw that a dozen people had gathered around them, each holding a sharp samurai sword and looking at them coldly.
Yuanshan Heye clenched his fists and said secretly, "Heiji, wait for me, I will deal with these people and help you right away!"
Conan carefully hid behind Yuya, looked at the samurai swords in those people's hands, and whispered to Yuya: "Can it be solved?"
Yuya smiled faintly: "It's a piece of cake."
Conan breathed a sigh of relief. That's right. Before, dozens of people besieged Yuya and Mao Li Ran, but they were easily dealt with by the two of them. How could these mere ten people threaten him?
Suddenly, Conan felt his body lighten, and then the world spun around - he was thrown into the bushes.
Conan was so angry that he struggled to get up. Just when he wanted to ask Yuya what he meant, he saw Yuya punching left and kicking right. Every masked man he hit fell to the ground without a sound...
He wisely retreated into the bushes - never mind, Yuya was still busy dealing with the criminals, so he shouldn't distract him.
The battle here was easy with Yuya around, but it was a bit difficult for Hattori Heiji to hold on.
It was really difficult for him to use a wooden stick to fight against the samurai sword. Half of the stick was chopped off after just a few rounds, and he could only dodge desperately.
"Hattori!" suddenly a loud shout came.
Hattori Heiji swung the wooden stick in his hand violently, and although it was cut from half to 1/4, it still successfully forced Nishijo Taiga back.
He took the opportunity to turn around and saw Yuya throwing a samurai sword at him.
Hattori Heiji was startled, caught the knife in a panic, breathed a sigh of relief, and yelled at Yuya: "Hey, you know it's dangerous to throw a knife like this!"
Youye shrugged his shoulders: "Don't I believe you? Hey, hey, hey, look behind, look behind!"
Hattori Heiji was startled and turned around quickly, blocking Saijo Taiga's downward attack with his sword.
"You will all die here!" Nishijo Taiga roared with a distorted face.
Hattori Heiji sneered: "Sorry, I can't do that!" He pushed the knife hard to force Nishijo Taiga back, then held the knife with both hands and made a standard starting posture.
"Come on, round two!"
Hattori Heiji shouted and rushed forward with a knife.
Nishijo Taiga walked forward with a sneer, and when the samurai sword was about to chop down, he actually raised his left hand to block it.
Having suffered a loss once, Hattori Heiji obviously would not be fooled again. He put away his sword in time and retreated: "I will not be fooled by you again!"
Nishijo Taiga didn't care. He sneered and pulled out another knife from his waist and held it in his left hand: "How about this one instead?"
Hattori Heiji was a little surprised: "Wakizashi? Two-sword style?"
Nishijo Taiga sneered and raised the wakizashi, saying, "This is no ordinary wakizashi. It's coated with a deadly poison. If you get hit by it, you'll die instantly!"
You also looked at Nishijo Taiga expectantly, but the other party did not make any move. Finally, he could not help but tilt his head. Hey, why didn't he stick out his tongue to lick the blade?
The two fought together again.
Even though Hattori Heiji got a samurai sword that could not be cut, he was at a disadvantage throughout the whole process because of the threat of the opponent's second poisonous knife.
Seeing that Hattori Heiji was about to collapse, Toyama Kazuha rushed over and said, "Heiji, let me help you!"
Hattori Heiji was very anxious: "Idiot, don't come over here!" But he was distracted and the knife in Nishijo Taiga's hand was knocked away, and he was kicked in the abdomen.
"Heiji!" Seeing Hattori Heiji in danger, Toyama Kazuha quickened her pace.
Nishijo Taiga sneered, raised the poisonous knife, and was about to swing it at Hattori Heiji.
"Sister He Ye, lower your head!" Suddenly a child's voice sounded.
