Osaka, a hilly spot near the sea.

There is no splendid and romantic cherry blossom rain in spring, nor is there the bustling density of the city's commercial center.

As far as the eye can see, there is only red everywhere - the branches and foliage of the mountains are rendered with a dazzling layer of vividness, the sea is not far away from the current beat, and the blue sky does not bear a single stain. Away from the hustle and bustle of the steel city, the mood completely returned to nature.

――――――

In the silent mountain stream, some figures shook in the distance.

"Whew... Call... Why do we come to climb the mountain, isn't Osaka famous for okonomiyaki and fugu hot pot..."

"Dad, you really lack exercise, you see Xiaolan is not tired at all."

"Eun, Dad is not as good as me!"

"Cut... The entire Didan Primary School knows that you two brothers and sisters are full of energy... Call... And that little ghost named Shinichi Kudo, phew..."

A Maori family walks here while admiring the autumn scenery along the road.

I don't know where Fei Yingli did the travel guide, but Osaka, which is known as the "No. 1 kitchen in the world", was turned into a scenic walking tour by her.

Hitomi and Ran were in high spirits, but they didn't realize anything, and Maori didn't go far and began to shout tired.

"Husband, as the best detective of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, you can't be defeated by two children~" Fei Yingli glanced at Maori who fell at the end, and deliberately said irritating words.

Sure enough, Maori suddenly became excited: "Of course, how could my Maori Kogoro be defeated by my own child, I was just joking just now, now I'm going to walk seriously, don't be thrown too far by me!" ”

As he spoke, the uncle had already gritted his teeth, and walked forward with a struggling face, and deliberately put on a disdainful expression when he passed by Xiao Hitomi.

"Yay~" Fei Yingli took advantage of Maori's inattention and made a victory gesture to Xiao Hitomi and Xiao Lan.

The two children covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

――――――

"Hey, there seems to be someone in front! It's weird, who would be bored and run here. ”

Fei Yingli suddenly opened her mouth and pointed ahead. I saw a rare figure walking slowly in the distance.

"Yes, we're the boring people..."Maori secretly slandered himself, but he didn't dare to say anything, but subconsciously slowed down.

Someone? Xiao Hitomi's heart tightened, and suddenly she thought of the man she met twice yesterday.

"Could it be him? No... It shouldn't be that coincidental..."

――――――

The man in front of him walked very slowly, as if his legs were inconvenient. The Maori family gradually followed, and a man's back slowly became clear.

"Huh? This back is so familiar, isn't it? Maori only felt that the man in front of him was more and more familiar, so he said hello: "Hey, hello!"

The man paused and turned around. This is a square, slightly ordinary face, at first glance, it is an ordinary office worker.

But Hitomi obviously noticed that this person's eyes were very sharp, and there was a long scar on his eyebrows and feet.

There was a tear in his pants, and the mottled blood in them could be faintly seen.

The most obvious is his right hand, although it hangs weakly, but it holds a pistol in his hand!

"Huh?" Xiao Hitomi was shocked, and then relaxed: "It turned out to be a police pistol, so this person is..."

When the man saw the Maori family of four, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "Oh! It's a Maori brother! ”

Maori was also surprised: "Yo! Isn't this Mr. Goro Otaki! What are you doing here? ”

(Guess Hattori Heizo's go to the face of the wall~)

"Huh... I'm on official business. How did you end up here? Who are these...?"

Otaki Goro smiled, and then looked at Eiri and Kotomi curiously.

"We're on vacation. This is Neiren Yingli, as well as my two children, Hitomi and Lan. ”

"Hello uncle!" Xiao Tong and Xiao Lan hurriedly nodded and said hello obediently.

"Hello!" Otaki Goro smiled and waved his hand: "I didn't expect that after many years, the children of the Maori brothers are so old." ”

Maori touched his head embarrassedly, and then also found Otaki Goro's embarrassed appearance: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Hey... It's hard to put into words..."Otaki Goro smiled bitterly: "My injuries were caused by the pursuit of the prisoner just now. ”

"What?! Hunting down criminals? ”

"Yes, just this morning, a body was found in a hotel somewhere in Osaka, and after our preliminary investigation, we found traces of the prisoner. It's just that in the process of pursuit, I encountered the stubborn resistance of the prisoner, and this is how my body was injured. ”

"The prisoner is in this valley? Are you alone? ”

"That's not it, the other colleagues are chasing him forward, you should be able to catch him" Otaki Goro pointed ahead: "However, you better go back, although there are already a lot of police forces deployed here, but it is still not very safe." ”

"Uncle~" Hitomi tugged on the sleeve of Goro Otaki: "The hotel you just talked about, is it The Ritz-Carlton?" ”

Otaki Goro looked surprised: "Ah... Yes, it's Ritz-Carlton, Hitomi-chan, how do you know? ”

"The Ritz-Carlton, isn't that the hotel we're staying in?" Maori and Yingli looked at each other, both with surprise on their faces.

Hitomi smiled embarrassedly: "Just guess, because I know the name of the hotel we live in, so I'll ask my uncle." ”

It seems that this is indeed the case... If I'm right, it's probably the man.

However, according to Uncle Otaki, that man shouldn't be able to run...

Hitomi frowned and looked at the mountain stream in the distance. Although I think so, there is always some faint shadow hanging in my heart.

Fei Yingli looked at Mao Li with a worried face: "Husband, let's go back otherwise, I'm really a little worried here." ”

"Yes." Maori nodded, and then looked at Otaki Goro: "Do you need us to send you back, your state is really worrying." ”

"Haha, no, no." Otaki Goro hurriedly shook his hand: "I'm going to hurry up and meet my colleagues, you guys hurry back." ”

Maori looked at Otaki's resolute attitude, so he had to take out his mobile phone: "Then I'll exchange numbers with you, and feel free to contact us if necessary." ”

"Yes, no problem!"

――――――

Goro Otaki has gradually moved away in the direction he started.

"Husband, was that Mr. Otaki your friend just now?" Yingli asked curiously.

"Yes, but I haven't seen you in years. They graduated together that year, but he was later assigned to Osaka. ”

Maori nodded, with a look of nostalgia for his youth: "At that time, I had a very good relationship with Mr. Otaki, and he often took care of me as a senior. But later, because of his outstanding grades, he was asked to go by the Osaka Police Department, and he didn't see him until today. ”

Yingli and Kotomi nodded suddenly, and walked back the same way as they sped up.
