Half of the noon break had passed, and Pingji, who was talking to Ye, suddenly noticed several college students walking briskly back and forth in the corridor, as if looking for someone's appearance.

Today's Naniwa Gymnasium is not only a high school competition, but also a college kendo competition, but it is held in two different halls.

Then I saw two college students talking somewhere in the hallway, and one of them looked extremely panicked.

Heiji's heart moved, and his intuition told him that something had happened.

He crept close to the two college students to hear what they were talking about.

He Ye saw that Heiji suddenly leaned towards the two strangers, with a puzzled look on his face, and Heiji put his index finger to his mouth, signaling that Heye was silent.

The two people who spoke, one was tall and strong, and the other was glasses and slightly obese. Both of them were wearing competition uniforms and protective gear, and they should both be competition players. Of course, Heiji was also wearing a robe and protective gear at this time. This is obviously done to make it easier to participate, and you can simply put the face shield on your head when you go on the field.

The look of panic was the fat man with glasses, and he only heard him say in a slur manner: "Droop, see that he is covered in blood......"

The tall man asked, "Covered in blood?" What's going on? Did someone kill him? ”

"No, I don't know...... I found out with Mizuya and Kotegawa, and I didn't know if he was alive or dead, but in short, there was blood all over his body...... I'm thinking I'll have to let you know right away......"

The tall man was about to speak, and Pingji, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't hold it back, and asked the fat man directly: "Where are the people?" ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react: "What's where?" ”

"I mean, where is the man covered in blood!?"

When Pingji questioned him, the whole person was quite majestic, and the fat man seemed to be shocked by his momentum, and stretched out his finger tremblingly: "In, over there in the gymnasium warehouse......"

When Pingji heard this, he immediately pulled out his legs and rushed towards the warehouse. Seeing this, the other two hesitated for a while, and then chased after them closely.

"Wait for me, Heiji!" Seeing this, Kazuha could only helplessly run behind Pingji.

However, when Heiji and the other two college students came to the warehouse, they found that there was nothing unusual in the warehouse, let alone any people covered in blood.

There are all sorts of things in the warehouse, such as sports mats, plastic hoops with more than a dozen basketballs, mannequins, and jump boxes in the center of the warehouse.

The fat man pointed to the jumping box at this time, and said nervously: "I was sitting on the ground just now, leaning on this jumping box, why is it missing now?" ”

Hattori looked at the jump box, and there was no blood on it. He swept around the warehouse again, then pointed to the mannequin and said, "You didn't think of the dummy just now, did you?" ”

"How is it possible, plus me, there are three people in total who have seen it!"

"So, where are the other two?"

"Otegawa went to call an ambulance, and Mizuya went to call the police."

Listening to the fat man's words, Heiji nodded. If you wear a dress and protective gear, there is no place to put your mobile phone, so take your school as an example, and the students who are going to participate in the competition will hand over their mobile phones to the agent for safekeeping. If the two were going to call the police or an ambulance, they would have to get their phones first.

While he was thinking, two more college students ran over, one slender and the other slightly shorter.

The stout man shouted, "The police have arrived!" ”

The slender man shouted, "The ambulance is coming soon!" ”

The two shouted while running to the door of the warehouse, and looked inside, only to find that the weeping was gone, and the two couldn't help but ask at the same time, "What about the weeping people?" ”

"No, I don't know." Said the fat man with glasses.

The tall man looked angry: "Can't you see that guy is playing a prank?" Everyone goes their separate ways to find it, and if he's playing a prank, be sure to give him a good look! ”

At this moment, a female staff member of the gymnasium came up and asked, "Excuse me, are you students at Shinnai University?" ”

Hearing this, the tall man who was angry restrained his anger a little and responded, "That's right, is there something wrong?" ”

"Just now we received a call from a boy with a strange voice, who said that he asked me to come to the warehouse to find the students of Shinnai University and inform them to go to the shower room next to the swimming pool."

After listening to the words of the staff, the tall and strong man was even more angry, and the other three also showed anger, it seemed that they were all completely tricked by the eyes.

The four college students immediately left the gymnasium and ran in the direction where the pool was located, and Heiji followed closely without hesitation.

Kazuha chased Heiji over, but as a girl, although she had learned Aikido, her feet were still slower than Heiji and others. As soon as I got to the warehouse, I heard a conversation between the staff and the university students, and then the college students and Heiji ran to the swimming pool.

"Ah, that's a ——!" He Ye had no choice but to continue to pull his legs and chase after Pingji.

When they arrived at the shower room next to the pool, several college students were stunned. I saw the man sitting down on the wall of the shower room, and the hot water in the shower head kept spraying out and pouring on him.

Karumi wears a robe but no protective gear, and is barefoot. His body was covered with scars from the slashes of the katana, and the katana, which had been used as a murder weapon, rested on the body of the hanging man.

The police quickly arrived at the scene and cordoned off the shower, exiting the shower and pacing by the pool, all the while secretly thinking about something strange.

"The body that was supposed to be in the warehouse of the gymnasium actually appeared in the shower room of the swimming pool, which was undoubtedly moved...... But when I ran from the gymnasium to the pool, I saw that there were students from other schools at the entrance and exit of the gymnasium all the time, and if the murderer came out with the victim covered in blood, it would cause a riot in an instant, how did he move the ...... of the corpse without attracting attention? ”

While Hattori was thinking, Kazuha came to his side.

He Ye also saw the scene in the shower room just now, and was shocked. But the afternoon game was not canceled due to the killings, and the start time was approaching.

"Heiji, I know you're very concerned about the incident, but the semi-finals are about to start, so you better focus on the game first."

"How is that possible, stupid. This case is very strange, and if I can't solve the mystery, I'll be absent-minded even if I step into the arena. ”

He Ye knew that the virtue of his childhood sweetheart was indeed like this, and he couldn't help but be a little worried, but then raised his eyebrows and said, "By the way, let Classmate Zero come over to help!" ”

Would you like to ask Kaneda to help...... I don't want to do it, but this afternoon's game is really important......

Just when Pingci had some intentions, He Ye said again: "Anyway, Zero's classmate is so smart, he must have solved the problem in three or two clicks, so you don't have to worry about Pingci at all." ”

Hearing this, Pingji's face suddenly became a little ugly.

Now Kaneda Zeroko should be in the audience, and he didn't notice the murder here.

So Heiji took a deep breath, then held Kazuha's shoulders and said, "Listen, Heye, I will solve this case quickly." So you must not let Kaneda Ichichiko know that there is a case, understand! ”

However, before he finished speaking, Zero's voice sounded from behind him: "That's really a pity, Hattori-san, I already know." ”

Zero's voice was extremely beautiful, but when he heard this voice, the whole person trembled slightly.

Turning his head stiffly, Heiji said to Zero: "Miss Kanedaichi, shouldn't you stay in the stands, what are you running around about?" ”

"Oh, this gymnasium doesn't restrict the movement of spectators, why can't I be here. After all, it's not because the game is about to start and you can't see you that your classmates asked me to come to you. Then I saw a police car parked in front of the gymnasium, and when I asked, I knew that there was a crime here. Okay, Hattori-san, go back to the game obediently, and leave the case to me. ”

"How could it be handed over to you like this!" Hattori shouted, then walked to the shower, "I'll solve the case soon!" ”

"What a stubborn guy." Zero complained as he followed behind Heiji.

Kazuha hesitated for a while, and finally did not follow Heiji and Zero, but returned to the gymnasium. After all, it is very likely that Heiji will not be able to catch up with the competition, and she also has to tell the students of the kendo club about the situation, so that they can prepare in advance that Pingji will not be able to compete.

On the other side of the shower room, it is still the Otaki Police Department that leads the team to investigate the case. Four university students stood by and were guarded by other police officers.

"Miss Kanedaichi, Heiji, why are you here?" Seeing Zero and Heiji, Otaki asked in surprise.

"Uncle Otaki, have you forgotten, I'm here to participate in the competition." Heiji replied, "As for this guy, he was invited by Kazuha to watch the battle. ”

"yes, you have a game today." Otaki first responded, and then said, "But I only dealt with the murder incident in the K3 Hotel yesterday, and today I encountered a new case, and your side is really not peaceful." ”

Hearing this, Zero nodded. That's right, Mr. Otaki, you can even find Hattori's Grim Reaper attribute.

However, Hattori said casually: "You can't blame me, I don't usually encounter cases very often." Anyway, someone came to be a visitor, how did the number of cases suddenly increase? ”

Is this dumping Conan? But this makes sense, I haven't heard of Osaka's dead people dying very often or anything, and Hattori's Grim Reaper attribute is definitely far inferior to Conan's.

However, Zero glanced at Heiji, only to see that he was aiming at his side, intentionally or unintentionally.

Damn, you didn't mean to be alluding to me just now, were you!?

How can this be justified, this is a blatant false accusation! It's unbearable, uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it! When did I get involved in the case either with you, or I took the initiative to participate in the case because of the commission.

However, the Otaki Police Department was on the side, and it was inconvenient for Zero to get angry, so he could only glare at the other party viciously, and then asked the Otaki Police Department: "Do the police have any investigation results at present?" ”

So the Otaki Police Department told Zero about the current investigation.

"The deceased's name was Atsushi Tarumi, and his whole body was slashed with a Japanese knife, and the Japanese knife used as a murder weapon rested on him. In between kendo competitions, there is a kendo performance using a real sword, and the sword is owned by one of the performers. It is said that the knife disappeared around noon, and the performer and his friends searched for a while, and it was supposed that the murderer took the opportunity to steal the knife and then used the knife to kill Loweri.

According to Tarumi's classmates, they first found Hirumi's body in the gymnasium warehouse, but when they returned to the warehouse after calling the police and calling an ambulance, they found that Orumi had suddenly disappeared from the warehouse...... Oh, by the way, they also said that there was a dark-skinned high school student with them at that time, and that should be you Heiji...... Later, they found the body in the shower. I think the murderer moved the body to the shower room and poured hot water on it, probably in order to confuse the estimated time of death.

Now the question is, how did the murderer move the body from the warehouse here without attracting the attention of others......"

Zero asked about the situation of the four college students again, and Otaki also made a brief inquiry about the four people, and then reported it to Zero.

The tall man is named Hakamata Masatsu, the head and chief of the kendo department of Shinnai University, the slender man is called Kotegawa Jun, the stout man is called Miya Mineo, and the fat man with glasses is called Kiriguchi Noriyuki.

Zero fell into thought, this case is the same as yesterday's case, he has some impressions, but he is not impressed.

After thinking for a while, she said to Otaki: "Otaki Police Department, you go and ask if there are any grievances between those four people and the victim." If you think they're hiding something, use a harsher tone. ”

Otaki let out an "oh" and went to ask the four people. And during this period, Heiji leaned over and said to Zero: "Listening to the meaning of what you just said, it seems that one of the four people will have a grudge against the victim, and the preconceived reasoning is not very good." ”

"But you also have to admit that from the current situation, the murderer is likely to be one of the four of them, isn't it? That being the case, it always hurts to ask. ”

After a while, Otaki returned to Zero and said to her, "According to several of them, the victim's ex-girlfriend and Hakamata got together after they broke up with the main commander Hakamata, so Hakamata thought that Hakamata had robbed him of his girlfriend, and he once said things like 'I must kill you' to Hakamata." But according to Hakamata, it was because he saw that his character was problematic that his girlfriend would choose to leave him, and it was only after the girl and Hakamata got together that there was no such thing as snatching a girlfriend. ”

"That's it? Are there any other grudges? ”

"Uh...... I guess there aren'...... none."

After listening to this paragraph, Pingji also pondered: "But in this case, it is the one who has the motive to kill but the one who has the right opinion." Could it be that Hakamata killed Hakamata in order to strike first, or that Hakamata wanted to kill Hakamata and was killed by Hakamata? ”

There was some truth in Pingji's words, but Zero shook his head, always feeling that something was wrong.

"By the way, is the first scene in the gymnasium warehouse?" Zero asked Heiji.

"That's right." Pingji nodded, this was already a very clear thing, he didn't know why Zero had to ask again.

"And how did you find the shower? Even if the body disappeared from the warehouse, it should have been found in the gymnasium first, how could it run directly to the swimming pool. ”

"That's because someone called the front desk and told us to come to the shower."

After saying that, Hattori's face changed slightly, as if he felt something disobedient.

"Go to the warehouse!" "While you were in the warehouse, the killer called you to tell you the true location of the body, just to prevent you from continuing to search the warehouse. In other words, there are things left in the warehouse that must not be discovered by others. ”

Pingji's face became a little darker, how could he not have thought of such a simple thing?

Naturally, the Otaki Police Department had to go to the warehouse with Zero and Heiji, and before leaving, Zero said to Otaki: "Let your men take care of those four college students, don't let them move around at will, there may be questions to ask them later." ”

The Otaki Police Department then gave orders to several of his subordinates, and then followed Heiji and Zero to the gymnasium warehouse.

Seeing the three of them walking in the direction of the gymnasium, the face of one of the four college students gradually became gloomy.
