"So, now you can say what exactly do you want to do?" Early the next morning, I was pulled out by Conan and came to the famous Gojo Bridge, which is said to be the place where Yoshitsune subdued Benkei. I asked Conan right at the door. Fishing can only deceive Xiaolan, deceive me, and almost get hot.

"Huh, you see?"

"Of course!," I said with a stinking face, "Do I look that stupid?"

"That's right, hehe. Conan scratched his head embarrassedly, then said to me with a serious face, "You know Genji Hotaru, right?"

"The gang of thieves who stole Buddha statues and works of art, codenamed after the names of the retainers of Yoshitsune?" I asked.

"Hmm. Conan nodded, and said with a solemn face: "You also know about the five murder cases that occurred in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto before, right?"

"Well, the report looked at it a little bit, saying that those five people were all members of Genji Hotaru, although the murderer is not known at the moment, but it is inferred that these five incidents are the most likely to be Genji Hotaru's internal firefight. ”

"Well, so I suspect that the theft of the Buddha statue is also related to Genji Hotaru, so I want to investigate. Conan nodded.

"So pull me in to be your bodyguard?"

"Well, don't say that, I also hope that you can come out and get some fresh air, and don't always stay at home lifelessly, and besides, you haven't carefully visited the sights of Japan before, right?

"Hah...... Okay, if you lose to you, the bodyguard will be the bodyguard, if you really suffer something that makes Xiaolan sad, it's not easy to do. I sighed and resigned myself to my fate.

"I knew you would say yes, haha......" Conan looked very happy to hear me say yes.

"So, did you find anything?" I asked, leaning forward and looking at the painting in Conan's hand.

"No, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the puzzle in the painting......" Conan shook his head.

"Yes......" I was just about to make fun of Conan, when suddenly a warning sign came to my heart, I didn't even think about it, I directly took my right foot as the axis, half-arched and spun violently, and at the same time my right hand moved slightly, a snow-bright blade appeared in my hand, raised my hand, my right foot exerted force, my left foot stepped forward, and a lunge! The traces of the sharp blade were like meteors! Like lightning!

A strong wind was coming from behind us, but it was like a dead kite, and before it could set sail, it was slashed in the air by me!

"Bang!

It was not like the sound of a blunt object intersecting, but like something of wood had been cut off, and I rushed up with my head down, like a hunting jaguar, ferocious and swift! What stood in my way only slightly hindered the progress of the blade, and then it was no longer able to support it, shattering the obstacle, and the knife continued to move forward! Whoever dared to attack my brother would make him pay!

"Stop!" Conan's anxious cry came to my ears.

I didn't listen to Conan, my brother is sometimes too indecisive, and the enemy has already deceived him, how can he stop there?!

Poking, pulling, stabbing, scratching, splitting......

Roll over! Roundabout! Side kick! A few moves in a row, to my surprise, the opponent actually blocked all of them! I was surprised in my heart, even if I have become a child now, ordinary people should be far inferior to me, right, it seems that this time I really met the opponent......

My heart sank slightly, stopped, and decided to change my breath first, just a series of actions, so that my consumption is very large, after all, the body is just a child, even if the strength is great, the quality of the body itself is average, such a high-intensity action can not last for a long time.

"I said stop!!" Conan suddenly grabbed my shoulder and yelled at my ear, "You don't want to look at who is on the other side and do it?!"

I was stunned when I heard this, and when I looked up, I saw Hattori standing there with a wry smile on his face, still holding a half-flowered bamboo sword in his hand, which was already in tatters......

"It's you?!" I cried out in surprise as I hid the knife again, "Why are you here?!"

"Ah~~ I wanted to make a joke with you, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating, your alertness is so high......" Hattori shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, looking quite helpless.

"I persuaded the department, just say hello when you come, what kind of mystery is playing, we almost misunderstood. Conan sighed, said Hattori with some dissatisfaction, and then glared at me again, "You too! Still so impulsive! No matter who the other party is, you can't openly attack people in public! What if something happens?!"

"Yes, I see. "I'm going to say that if I contradict Conan now, this guy will have to educate me again.

"Ah~~ I won't be next time, I didn't expect this little brother's kung fu to be so good, I almost couldn't cope with it......" Hattori looked at me with deep meaning: "Let's have a good discussion when we have time in the future......"

"That's what I mean," I replied without ...... weakness.

"I said, you two, can you not do this? Conan's voice of a headache came from our ears.

"Well, we just want to get to know each other better and deepen our friendship. ”

"That's right. Hattori and I looked at each other and smiled.

"Big brother, my bamboo sword ......" At this moment, the voice of a small child suddenly came from behind Hattori.

"Ah, that ......" Hattori's body stiffened for a moment, then turned around, squatted down with a smile, and said embarrassedly, "That ......"

"Ahh......h The ...... my mom just sold me Woo~~" The child saw at a glance the bamboo sword that was only half cut and was cut all over his body, and immediately cried.

"Don't cry, it's me who is wrong, I will compensate you~~" Seeing the child crying, Hattori immediately panicked.

"Well, I'll pay for it too......" I said with some embarrassment.

"Really?" the kid looked back and forth at me and Hattori incredulously.

"Really, really!" I nodded to Hattori.

"How much is your bamboo sword?"

"It seems to be 2,000 yen......

Left touch, right touch, and finally Hattori said with an embarrassed face: "That, I only have eight hundred yuan on me......"

When the child heard this, his face, which had already seen sunny, showed signs of cloudiness again.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Hattori gestured desperately to me as he scrambled the child into a scrambled manner.

I touch, I touch again, I touch again......

"I'm sorry, but I only have seven hundred ......"

Hattori and I looked at Conan, who was watching from the sidelines.

Conan: "......"

......

"Hey, you two got into trouble, but let me wipe your ass? Don't you feel ashamed?" On the way, Conan looked at me and Hattori who were whistling heartlessly on the side with a dark face.

"Ah~~ I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we'll pay you back......" I laughed with Hattori.

"Cut," Conan pouted, asking Hattori, "Didn't you make an appointment to meet at nine?

"Ah, I wasted a little time helping to catch a wallet thief on the way to the transfer, sorry. Hattori laughed.

"You're unusually enthusiastic about investigating this case......" Conan glanced at Hattori with some puzzlement.

"Actually, I know the owner of the octopus ball shop that was killed in Osaka, and although he was a member of a gang of thieves, I have been going to that shop a lot since I was in junior high school, and I have received a lot of care, so I wanted to find the murderer and avenge him. Hattori whispered.

"That's a member of the thieves, a criminal, and even then do you want to avenge him?" I looked at Hattori playfully.

"Ah," Hattori nodded at me solemnly, "Whoever he is, I've been taken care of by him, so I have to give something back." Moreover, even the guilty have the same right to live as everyone else, and no one has the right to take it away. For the sake of the justice of the world, I must find out about this matter!"

"That's why you came to Kyoto to look for clues......" At this, Conan smiled slightly, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Hattori: "In that case, I have something good to show you." ”

Hattori unfolded it and saw that it was the code map we had studied yesterday, and Conan showed Hattori a photocopy, and the original was in the hands of Uncle Maori. When Hattori was looking at the picture, Conan also explained the origin of the picture to Hattori.

"I see...... As long as you solve the puzzle of this painting, you can not only find the Buddha statue, but maybe also find the murderer......" Hattori groaned, and suddenly said to Conan: "You ...... that too" Hattori also figured out Conan's intentions.

"Yes, if it was Hotaru Genji who stole the statue, then you might be able to find a clue to solve the puzzle in the places related to Yoshitsune and Benkei......" Conan said in accordance with Hattori's words.

"Then ...... you" Hattori looked at me again.

"As you can see, a bodyguard, because Genji Hotaru is a gang of robbers after all, and the members are all masters of kendo and bow and arrow, if Conan accidentally finds the other party's lair and is killed, I will be embarrassed...... "I shrugged my shoulders.

"I see, as a bodyguard, you're quite competent......" Hattori nodded remembering the scene just now.

"Thank you for the compliment. ”

"But I'm not familiar with Kyoto at all...... Conan said, looking at Hattori, the meaning in his eyes self-evident.

"Yes, leave it to me, who will make me owe you a favor. Hattori laughed.

"That's what you said, I didn't force you. Seeing that his goal was achieved, Conan smiled a little smugly.

"Then, since you already have company, I won't join in the fun, I'll go back to the monastery first. Seeing that the two of them were getting up to leave, I turned my back to the two and said.

Today's event was undoubtedly deliberately arranged by Conan, and I understand what Conan meant, and he hopes that I will maintain a good relationship with Hattori, because Hattori is not only generous and righteous, but also has outstanding ability, and the old man in the family is also a high-ranking official in the police circle, and maybe it will be of great help to me in the future. Although I am very grateful to Conan for his intentions, I don't want to have too much contact with Hattori, we are destined to be incompatible, there is no contradiction between me and Hattori, just a simple confrontation due to different positions, he is a soldier, I am a thief, born rejection, as the son of a policeman, Hattori, the sense of justice is no worse than Conan, he doesn't understand me, and I don't expect his understanding, so, it's better for me to keep a certain distance from him, otherwise the atmosphere is awkward, and the embarrassment can only be Conan.

"Hey, you're a bodyguard, you're gone, what if we are attacked?"

"Isn't Hattori there to protect you, he's better than me as a kid now!" I smiled and turned to leave.

"Hey. Hattori suddenly spoke.

"Something?" I paused.

"It's better for you to come together, Genji Hotaru is a big thief group, if there are a lot of people, even I can't handle it, aren't you Kudo's brother-in-law?

"Do you think it's really good for me to stay?" I turned my head and looked at Hattori steadily.

"As long as you're Kudo's younger brother, there's nothing wrong with that. Hattori looked at me with the same serious look. It can be seen that his eyes are very pure and sincere.

Hattori's meaning is clear, as long as I'm Conan's younger brother, as long as I'm bent on reforming, you can try to accept me, which surprised me a little. In my impression, Hattori is strong-willed and not easily shaken, so the reason for this change is that my brother has contributed a lot......

"Well, if you think so. My heart relented and I agreed.

"Alright, let's go together. Conan laughed when he said yes.

"Then our first stop is Gojo Tenjin, which is the closest to here. Hattori suggested.

"Good. I nodded in response.

Five tenjin, Benkei stone, kick up the slope, Yoshitsura Great Day as it comes...... In this way, Hattori rode a motorcycle to carry the two of us little ghosts, from near and far, one by one to find those monuments related to Yoshitsune Benkei, hoping to find some clues to crack the code, but unfortunately not only did he find nothing, but he was also warned by a police officer with a squirrel named Ayakoji Wenying not to participate in the investigation of the case again. But obviously, looking at the two detective souls around me, his idea must have failed.

After a busy morning, everyone's stomachs began to growl, so we went to lunch together, intending to move on after eating.

The stone-paved path is filled with cherry blossoms, and the dancing cherry blossoms add a poignant beauty to the quiet path, which is unusually charming.

"I always thought that cherry blossoms would only bloom in spring...... I said with a smile as I looked at the cherry blossoms in full bloom around me.

"Normally, this is true, but due to various problems such as climate and temperature, there are also various abnormal conditions. Conan smiled and answered my questions.

"Cherry blossoms, ah......" Hattori looked at the flying cherry blossoms with emotion, as if there was a special complex in them, and it looked quite a story.

Conan and I couldn't help but look at Hattori questioningly.

"Whenever I see cherry blossoms, I always remember what happened eight years ago," he said, "When I was exploring a temple in Kyoto, I accidentally hit the lattice window of the temple, and even the wooden lattice was broken, and I hit my head on the floor, and I fainted......"

As he spoke, Hattori led us to an open-air restaurant with a beautiful setting, where we ordered our meals, and we listened to Hattori's story of his first love while we ate.

"I don't know how long I fell asleep, but when I woke up, I saw a little girl in a kimono singing under the cherry blossom tree with a ball......

"It's a pity that when I look for it, she is no longer there, I only picked up a crystal bead she lost in the same place, although it seems to be a dream, but it is real, I always feel that when I will be able to meet her again......" Hattori looked up at the sky, a look of remembrance, incomparably innocent......

"Poof...... Conan and I squirted out in unison.

You can't laugh!

Well, I can't help it! I throw in the towel......

"Hehehehehe......"

I didn't expect Detective Hattori Heiji in the famous town of Kansai to have such a cute time......

"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Hattori asked us with a dark face. However, his face is already dark, so it doesn't give us much of a deterrent.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you continue to ......" Conan barely stopped laughing and said to Hattori.

"I always bring this with me when I come to Kyoto," Hattori said, handing Conan what he called the "souvenir of the lovely girl" in his story, which was a crystal bead.

"Crystal Orbs, I think I've seen ......them somewhere," Conan said with a deep groan, looking at the crystal beads repeatedly.

"Really?!Does anyone have beads like this?!" Hattori suddenly became excited when he heard Conan's words, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"Nope. Conan's words brought Hattori back to reality once again.

"Does Kazuha know about this?" I asked Hattori.

"Although I didn't talk to her in detail, she seemed to know about it, because when I was interviewed by the magazine, I talked about it and wanted to find the girl through the magazine......"

"I can't intervene in emotional matters, but Kazuha is a good girl, no matter what, if you hurt her, I will definitely not let you go. I looked at Hattori seriously.

"Ah, we will take care of the matter between me and Ye, so I won't bother you. Hattori also stared at me, refusing to show weakness.

"You two......" Conan began to have a headache again.

After eating, we hurried to Kurama-ji Temple without stopping, and in order to take a shortcut, we did not take the Niomon Gate at the main gate, but took the West Gate, and through the inaccessible mountain path, we came to Fudodo Hall of the Monk's Academy, where it is said that Ushiwakamaru learned the swordsmanship from the Tengu, and Ushiwamaru, which is the name of Yoshitsune. According to the Japanese rite of passage, children are dressed at the age of twelve, which is equivalent to the Chinese crown, at which time the elders will give them official names, while before that, children did not have names, only milk names.

"It's a great place to practice kendo," Hattori said as he looked at his surroundings, "This cedar tree is really big......

"Practicing martial arts here, maybe there will be twice the result with half the effort. I followed behind Hattori and admired the quiet and beautiful surroundings.

"Hattori, it's not ...... here either. Be careful!" Conan suddenly yelled at us.

At the same time, a little cold light shot straight in our direction! It turned out to be an arrow! Almost in the blink of an eye, it was already close at hand!

I jumped almost reflexively! The knife in my hand popped out, and I slashed at the rushing target!

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, the iron arrows of my knife and the arrow collided with each other, and a fierce spark collided! The arrow that I had chopped with my knife rushed past my cheek with a strong wind, and nailed it to the trunk of the big tree that Hattori had just been looking at, making a muffled "thud"!

And I was stumbling by the fierce force attached to the arrow, because I couldn't borrow force in the air, I fell from the air with a crooked body, and was picked up by Hattori, who reacted.

"Thank you. I breathed a sigh of relief and said to Hattori.

"I should thank you for saving your life. Hattori smiled.

"Stop!" Conan yelled and ran straight past me and Hattori! We turned our heads to see a masked man in tracksuit fleeing in front of us!

"Kudo!" Hattori shouted, and chased me directly over my shoulder towards Conan!

"Hey, let me down, I can run on my own!"

"Don't move! I'm going fast!"

Conan was small, agile, and quick to react, and he followed closely behind the masked man and refused to relax, while the masked man relied on his height and strength to run forward in great strides, gradually widening the distance between him and Conan!

"This guy is just like Ushiwakamaru!" Hattori said to me as he stammered, "Hurry up, we're going to change the route!"

"What are you talking about?!Whoa, whoa, whoa—" Before I could react, Hattori dragged me to the path in the other direction, but after a while, he magically came to the west gate and found the motorcycle we came from!

Hattori threw me on the back seat of the motorcycle, and at the same time stuffed my helmet into me, and with one foot on the accelerator, the motorcycle, which was still very gentle when it came, instantly became furious!

"Oh my god!, slow down!!"

As soon as we drove out of the west gate, we saw Conan choking on the side of the road, and it looked like he had lost it. Hattori shouted, threw Conan a hard hat, and at the moment when the motorcycle passed by Conan, he pulled Conan up, stuffed it between me and Hattori, and chased it in the direction Conan pointed out!

Hattori's technique was very good, the motorcycle made a loud roar, and it was rushing through the narrow mountain road, and looking at the scenery on both sides of the rapid backwards, a disgusting feeling swept over me, and I quickly took a few big breaths, stopped looking to the side, and finally felt a little better.

In this reckless pursuit, we soon caught up with the figure before us.

However, the other party is not a fuel-efficient lamp. First he led us around Kurama-ji Temple, then the rugged mountain road, then the suspension bridge, and the first to cut the rope of the suspension bridge, which almost broke us in the mountains! And the ruthlessness of the opponent can't help but make us secretly grit our teeth and vow to chase this person before we can stop!

Running beside the railroad tracks, bumpy along the way, the opponent in front of us suddenly took out a barrel-shaped thing and deflated the smoke in our direction!

"Hattori!Beware of obstacles!!Get out of the way!!" I couldn't help but feel nervous when I saw the smoke, and yelled at Hattori!

There must be something ahead, otherwise the other party will not put smoke to cover our vision at this time!

Hattori understood this, too, but we were still in the middle of the road! Because we didn't expect that there was a train coming at high speed!

Hattori frantically pulled the handlebars to the side, and the sudden turn made the speeding motorcycle lose its balance in an instant!

"Ahhhh

The motorcycle slammed into a big rock on the side of the road with a "bang"! The tremendous inertia threw us out in an instant! It threw us to pieces! By the time we got up, the people in front of us were long gone.

"Damn!" Hattori stomped his feet and said hatefully, "I almost caught up!"

"That guy must be the murderer of Genji Hotaru, right?" asked Hattori to Conan.

"Probably, but I don't know why he attacked you. Conan replied.

"But what is certain is that this man is very skillful, strong in martial arts, and ruthless. I looked at Hattori and said, "If he can make the first move, he can have a second time, you have to be careful, especially when you are with Heye, don't be taken advantage of." ”

"Well, I know," Hattori nodded, "Thanks." ”

"It's just a courtesy. ”

"I suddenly realized that you weren't as difficult to reach as I thought you were......" Hattori looked at me and smiled.

"Well, if you spend some time together, you might think that everything today is your delusion......" I laughed.

"Yes......" Hattori smiled nondeniably and said nothing more.
