At Mr. Sakura's Sakurako art shop, we unexpectedly discover Mr. Sakura's true identity, and he is actually Ise Saburo from Genji's Hotaru Thieves! This result surprised us, and no one could have imagined that Mr. Sakura, who usually looks like Sven Wen, was actually one

Robbers lurking around us.

Back at the temple, we told Uncle Mori and others about this result, which naturally caused a burst of surprise among everyone, but unfortunately, although it was a breakthrough for us to know that Mr. Sakura was Ise Saburo, the cause of Mr. Sakura's death is still a mystery. Although the garden claimed to have heard the sound of something falling into the water, it was speculated that it was the murder weapon thrown by the murderer, but in fact, the police did not find the murder weapon from the river, and the moon was very bright tonight, and the river below could be seen from the crack in the floor of the balcony where Xiaolan and the others were, if anyone passed by, they would definitely be seen by Xiaolan and them, but Xiaolan and they did not see anyone passing by there, which ruled out the possibility of accomplices. Uncle Maori thought of a whimsical reasoning, presumably an outside criminal, who escaped through the window on the first floor, and was only lucky to be seen by Xiaolan and the others, obviously, this reasoning is not convincing to everyone. Everyone thought about it together for a long time, because there was no conclusive evidence, and in the end it had to be dismissed.

"Then, it's not too early, I'll go back with Heye first, you guys should rest early, if you have any new ideas, you must tell me, Gong...... Ke, Conan. The discussion went on until late at night, and seeing that nothing would come of it today, Hattori stood up and took his leave, but in the end he almost said the wrong thing, causing Conan to roll his eyes.

"Hmph! This should have been the case a long time ago, it is enough for us adults to do these things, and the little ghosts should go back early, and take care of their studies is the right thing!" Uncle Maori said, cross-legged, pouting.

"Dad!" Xiaolan called out dissatisfiedly, turned around and smiled at Kazuha and Hattori: "Kazuha and Hattori too, if there are any new clues, let's study them together." ”

"Then let's go, Xiaolan, you should rest early, Xiaohui too, if you have dark circles, it won't be cute!" He Ye stood up, jumped to his feet, moved some muscles, and smiled at me.

"Hmm!" I first answered Kazuha, then turned to Hattori and said lightly, "Be careful." ”

"I will. Hattori smiled tacitly, cynically flicked the hat on the bullethead, and walked away in style.

"So, the little ghosts in the way are gone, and now it's my turn to be Detective Mori Kogoro!!!

Although Uncle Maori stared at the code map "viciously" with the most ferocious eyes in his life, and his eyes were about to touch the map, unfortunately, five minutes have passed, ten minutes have passed, and the code map still does not seem to have the intention of giving in.

"Dad is really ......" Xiaolan looked at the Maori uncle who was "fighting" with the code plan with a wry smile.

"If only that picture could be anthropomorphized, maybe I was frightened by Uncle Maori's hideous expression, and confessed to it. I shrugged my shoulders and said jokingly to Conan on the side.

“...... That's right. Conan tugged at the corners of his mouth and laughed wryly.

"What are you thinking?" I couldn't help but ask, seeing that Conan had been pondering something.

"Well, I'll think again...... Why did the murderer attack us at Kurama-ji Temple?"

"We?" I laughed, "I'm afraid it's not 'us', right?"

"What do you mean?" Conan looked at me puzzled.

"If you just want to attack 'us' and obstruct us from investigating the case, wouldn't it be better to have a higher success rate if there were two children at the scene and target the children?" I laughed.

"That's right," Conan nodded, looked at me, and said, "You mean, the murderer came to Hattori?"

"I'm not sure, but inferentially it's the most likely, right?"

"Well," Conan said in a deep voice after hearing my words, "Could it be that Hattori had inadvertently come into contact with the murderer, and what was the reason for him to risk attacking Hattori?"

"Maybe......"

"Looks like I'm going to have to ask Hattori tomorrow. ”

"Now, you say, if Sakura-san was Ise Saburo, and he was one of several pilgrims, would he ......" I lay bored for a while, and I suddenly said to Conan as if I had thought of something.

"You mean......" Conan was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed: "There are also members of Genji Hotaru among those pilgrims?!"

"Yes," Seeing that Conan's face was not quite right, my mood that I didn't care much about became a little solemn, and the more I thought about it, the more likely it became: "If one of the people in Mizuo Harutaro and Saijo Taiga is also a member of the thieves' group, no, if it is a worse case, Monk Tatsuen and Senga Suzu are also members of the thieves' group, then they know our investigation progress and routine well, then ......"

Conan's face grew more and more ugly with my words, and he turned his head to look at me with a terrible expression, and we looked at each other.

"Hattori and Kazuha just left, and it's still late at night......"

"They're in danger!!" Conan and I shouted in unison!

"Ahh?!!h

"Conan, Xiaohui, what's wrong with you?" Xiaolan looked at us with the same puzzled.

"Sister Xiaolan!Brother Heiji, how long have they been gone?!" Conan stood up and asked Xiaolan urgently.

"That...... Probably...... More than twenty minutes......" Xiaolan was stunned by Conan's eager tone, and said with some uncertainty.

"Don't you have Hattori's phone?!Call!" I shouted at Conan!

"No, Hattori is on a motorcycle, even if it's okay, he can't answer the phone, and he can't even hear it, don't you have a phone call with Ye? Even in an emergency, Conan was calm.

"Yes, yes, I hit me. I patted my forehead, secretly blamed myself for my panic, took out my mobile phone and was about to call Heye, but before I could call, Xiaolan's mobile phone rang first, and as soon as Xiaolan answered the phone, there was immediately a crying voice from Heye!

"Xiaolan! Come on! I was attacked by an unknown person in XXX by Heiji! Heiji was injured and fainted!"

"What?!"

......

Early the next morning, after everyone waited diligently, Hattori finally woke up.

"You're awake!" Kazuha, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed and refused to leave, immediately asked Hattori with concern.

"Kazuha......" Hattori, who had just woken up, was obviously not very conscious.

"Great......"

"It's worrying to death, Heiji!"

Seeing that Hattori had indeed come to his senses, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Officer Otaki, and ......" Hattori sat up, looked at the person in front of him, thought and thought, and said for a long time: "Who are you?"

I couldn't help but sigh when I saw this, and glanced at Shiratori standing next to Officer Otaki with sympathy, this guy Hattori is really unconscionable, and he obviously went to someone's villa to play before......

"Uh......" Officer Shiratori almost fell down, and introduced himself in a cold sweat, "I'm Shiratori from the Metropolitan Police Department," and then straightened his face and said, "I heard that the killed Sakura Masazo was a member of Genji Hotaru, so I rushed here from Tokyo." ”

"Does it still hurt?" Conan asked him in a whisper as he slowly moved around his left shoulder.

"Well, a little. ”

"Not only do I have a knife wound in my shoulder, but I also have a slight concussion in my head, so just stay in bed honestly and don't move, Conan and I will take care of the case. I whispered to Hattori as well.

"......" Hattori touched his head, didn't answer, didn't deny, but I knew that he didn't speak, in fact, it was already a silent protest, and he was trying to fool my words with silence.

"Alas. I sighed and stopped trying to persuade him. This guy is the same as his brother, even if he is persuaded to do so, he won't listen.

But fortunately, this guy usually acts with his brother, and if something happens this time, my brother should be more vigilant by his side. If my brother is here, it should be no problem.

"I found a stolen art ...... from Sakura Masazo's shop" Officer Otaki was about to talk to Hattori about the progress of the police, but was interrupted by Officer Ayakoji, who happened to come in.

"Are you awake?" Officer Ayakoji said with a blank face as he saw Hattori sitting on the bed as he entered the room. He didn't seem to have a good impression of us, but it's no wonder that the Japanese police generally have a strong sense of territory, and regard their own jurisdiction as their own territory, and no one else can interfere, even if they are in the same company. If one's one-third of one's acre is touched by others, naturally he will not have a good attitude.

"Mr. Police, where's the short knife?" Hattori couldn't help but ask when he saw Ayakoji coming in. This is Kyoto, and the police officer who handled the attack on Hattori is naturally Officer Ayakoji Fumitaka of the Kyoto Prefectural Police in charge of this case.

"As soon as the results came out, tell me that if the evidence is not enough, the wound on my shoulder is also available to you. ”

"What evidence?" Kazuha asked Hattori puzzled.

"Evidence that the dagger was the murder weapon that killed Mr. Sakura. Hattori said with some regret, "Actually, it would be best if there was anything that came into contact with the murderer's skin......

"Ahh

"Yes, yes, you lie down first and don't get excited, you'll get dizzy. I sighed, pressed Hattori's body to the bed again, asked him to cooperate with the nurse who entered the room to take his temperature, and said, "That car has been proven to be a lost car." ”

Hearing the conversation between me and Hattori, Kazuha was suddenly stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. Seeing this scene, my heart moved slightly.

"Also, do you understand what this picture means?" Officer Ayakoji said, taking out the code map that Uncle Mori had been studying for a long time, "It's in Mr. Sakura's "Yoshitsune". ”

Hattori, who couldn't open his mouth with a thermometer in his mouth, shook his head silently.

"Don't you really know?" Officer Ayakoji confirmed, looking like he was afraid that we would investigate in private and didn't trust us too much.

Hattori nodded.

"Well, if you don't know, forget it, then you just stay honest. Seeing that there would be no more gains, Officer Ayakoji walked out of the ward, and immediately, Officer Shiratori, Officer Otaki, and the nurse also left with Officer Ayakoji, leaving only me, Conan, Ran, and Ha and Hattori on the bed.

"Hawkers, although the face of Officer Aya Xiaolu is not very good-looking, but I still agree with his last sentence, your current injury is not light, it is better to recover honestly, and Sister Ye didn't meet their eyes all night last night, don't let Sister Ye's hard work be in vain." I said to Hattori with a smile.

"Xiaohui!" and Ye's fair face flushed slightly.

"Yes, yes, I know, I know. ”

As soon as I heard Hattori say this, I knew that my words were all in vain, because I was in the same tone when I fooled Xiao Ai.

"I'm going to call my dad. Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Xiaolan bent down and said with a smile to He Ye, who was guarding the bed. Uncle Mori also arrived at the scene with us last night and personally took the unconscious Hattori to the hospital with us, but this morning he overslept and did not come with us to the hospital.

"Hmm. Kazuha nodded.

"So, what does the person who attacked you look like? Is it still the masked man?" I asked Hattori as I saw Ran walk out of the house.

"Well, he's wearing the mask of an old man in Noh play, and I don't know what he looks like. Hattori said as he reminisced.

"Yes. I pondered.

"Heiji, I'll go out for a while, Xiaohui, Conan, you guys are here with Heiji, don't let him move. Kazuha suddenly interrupted my thoughts, and while getting up, he said to me, Conan, and Hattori.

"Stupid, where are you going?" exclaimed Hattori by surprise.

"A little bit of something, I'll be back in a moment. As he spoke, Kazuha had already walked out of the ward.

I glanced at Hattori and Conan, and I nodded slightly and headed for the door.

"Kazuha will leave it to you. Just as my hand was gripping the doorknob, Hattori said behind me.

"Rest assured. ”

I didn't have a gun with me, because Conan had been with me, so I kept the gun in my travel bag and didn't have a chance to take it out, but I believe that with my skills, even if I only have a dagger, it should be enough to protect Kazuha's thoughtfulness.

After walking a short distance, I caught up with Kazuha, who was walking in front.

"Sister Heye, shall I go with you?" I walked around to Heye and smiled at Heye.

"Xiao, Xiaohui?" He Ye obviously didn't expect me to catch up with her, and looked a little surprised, but quickly regained his smile, squatted down, stretched out a green Qianqianyu and pointed at my head, and said, "Didn't I let you and Conan accompany Pingji in the ward? Why didn't you even listen to Sister Ye?

"Brother Pingji's words, it is enough to have Conan there to accompany him, so I came here to accompany Sister Heye, and now it is too dangerous to go out alone with Sister Ye, I am here to protect Sister Heye!"

"Flutter!" He Ye laughed out loud at the amuse of my actions, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Hehe, okay, Sister Ye and Ye are all protected by you!" It seems that I completely take my words as a child's joke, and this is exactly my purpose. Sometimes, the truth sounds like a lie, and it's less likely to arouse suspicion.

"Okay!

All the way to the road, it wasn't long before we arrived at the small meadow where Hattori and Kazuha had been attacked last night. It's a small grove in a peaceful environment with very few people.

"Sister Heye, what are you looking for?" I couldn't help but ask looking at Kazuha rummaging through the grass.

"Ah, that," Kazuha said while keeping moving his hand, "Didn't I hit the prisoner's head with a sock wrapped in a stone yesterday?

"Oh, I see, I'll help too?" I laughed and joined the search.

"That's a great help, thank you, Xiaohui. He Ye smiled at me quietly.

"Speaking of which, you are really brave and Sister Ye, a girl's family dared to run towards the prisoner with a knife with her bare hands like that, and she also thought of the idea of smashing people with socks wrapped in stones, it is really brave and strategic. ”

"Where, no, it's just that I saw that Pingji was in danger, and I rushed up without thinking about anything when I was in a hurry, and now I think about it, I'm still a little scared......" Although he didn't look back, he could still hear it from the voice, and Ye was a little shy.

"Eh~~, but it's still amazing......"

"That's nothing, if Xiaohui you have a girl you like in the future, you will definitely be desperate, right?" and Ye said and turned around and smiled sweetly at me, very cute.

Hattori, you kid really got shit lucky.

"Well," I nodded, and suddenly my hand touched a hard thing, picked it up and looked at it, it seemed to be a fragment of something, I took it and raised it with my hand in the direction of Heye: "Sister Heye, is this what you are looking for?"

"Yes, yes, that's it!" Seeing the thing in my hand, He Ye suddenly jumped up happily: "Xiaohui thank you so much." ”

"No, nothing...... Be careful!" I was about to be humble, but suddenly I noticed a black shadow appearing behind Kazuha at some point!

"Ahh

"Damn!" I shouted angrily, flashed a dagger, and rushed forward!

"Huh!" a silver string slashed through the air like a silver snake!

But to my surprise, the man's movements were unusually agile, one dodged sideways, and the dagger narrowly slashed his throat, but only cut through his erected collar!

I looked at the person on the other side of me, wearing an old mask and holding a wooden knife in his hand, just as Hattori had said. I probably didn't expect such a skill as a child, and he was hovering twenty meters in front of me, looking at me with some surprise.

"Sister Heye, are you okay?!" A knife forced the masked man away, and I couldn't help but hurriedly ask Heye, who was sitting on the ground.

"Xiao, Xiaohui?" He Ye seemed to be in a trance, probably because the wooden knife just hit the back of her head.

"It's me, Sister Ye, sober up, I'll take you to the hospital!" I shook He Ye's shoulders anxiously, hoping that she would be sober.

"Little ...... Xiaohui, be careful!!" Kazuha, who was originally weak, suddenly opened his apricot eyes and screamed loudly.

Needless to say, I also felt a vicious wind in the back of my head! I used a half-kneeling position, my left foot as the axis, and my right foot kicked the ground violently! My body instantly turned one hundred and eighty degrees like a spinning top, and at the same time, the dagger in my hand also slashed through a shining half-circle of silver, like a half-moon towards the person who attacked me in the back!

The blade of the blade cuts through the air barrier in the air, and if it cuts through a rag, it makes a sharp "boom!"

Bang!

I slammed the masked man's wooden knife into each other!

For a moment, the wooden knife and the dagger collided, and the masked man and I began to hold each other. The whole process may seem like a long time, but the real time is not even more than a second!

"Xiaohui...... You ......" Kazuha, who had never seen me move a knife, was a little stunned and looked at me in a daze. She probably didn't expect that what I said to protect her turned out to be true!

"Sister Heye, you go to a farther place first, so as not to hurt you, I will clean up this thief." I said as I struggled to fend off the masked man's wooden knife.

"Oh, good ......" The injured Kazuha was a little confused, and he couldn't think at all, so he could only listen to my words and act instinctively, stumbling and wanting to walk away.

Seeing that Kazuha wanted to walk away, the force on the wooden knife on my dagger suddenly increased a lot, and it seemed that he was desperate to solve the problem and I went to find Kazuha.

First of all, I was half-kneeling, and the other party was standing, and I was congenitally weaker than the other party in terms of strength! Second, because my left shoulder was injured, I couldn't use my strength at all, so I only held a dagger in my right hand, and the other party held the wooden knife with both hands! Third, I am now a child's body, although my strength is not weaker than that of ordinary people, but it is only "not weaker" than "ordinary people", and the other party is obviously a practitioner, and his strength is not ordinary! In addition, I only have one hand, so the disadvantage in strength is even more obvious!

Because of the invincibility of strength, the wooden knife slowly pressed down towards my head, the wooden knife was very thick, although my dagger was just an ordinary fruit knife, but even so, after several moves with my sharp dagger, it was not cut, which shows how strong the wooden knife is. Being cut by such a thick and bulky wooden knife, even if it's just wood, it is estimated that it will not be comfortable, and it will be known that he will not be able to get up for a long time after watching Kazuha be stabbed.

"But......" I chuckled, and looked up sharply at him, looking at him with blazing eyes: "Wood is only wood after all, and it is impossible to beat steel. ”

"Drink!!"

The other party was stunned for a moment, and taking advantage of this moment, I suddenly lifted my breath! The dagger went up, only to hear the sound of "click", and the wooden knife was suddenly cut in two!

The masked man reacted quickly, and the moment the wooden knife broke, he decisively abandoned the knife and jumped back, making it impossible for me to continue the attack.

However, the masked man clearly overestimated me, and although I had just taken a sharp breath and cut off his wooden knife in one fell swoop, my strength had been depleted by this, and now I had no power to attack again except gasping for breath.

The masked man quickly saw my lack of physical fitness, put on a fist fight, and pressed at me.

Although Lao Tzu has become smaller and his skills have become sluggish, this does not mean that Lao Tzu will lose to people with bare hands with a knife!

I sneered, and knelt there with my dagger in place, pretending to faint at any moment, but in fact secretly gathered my strength, waiting for him to come closer, so that I could launch my thunderous blow!

Getting closer, getting closer...... Although I didn't look up, the other party's breath was imprinted in my mind very clearly, and my legs slowly tensed, and I made up my mind that I must nail him here with a knife!

Suddenly, I screamed and jumped up!

The masked man staggered back by surprise, fell to the ground at once, sat on the ground with his butt, and raised his hand in a panic in the face of my slashing blade, as if trying to block my dagger with his arm.

I sneered, and the dagger slid down, and if this knife fell, I would definitely cut off his arm!

I looked down with all my might, and the dagger was on the masked man's arm as I had hoped, but the next moment, I couldn't help but lose a little color!

In the face of such a sharp knife from me, the masked man's arm was unharmed! And the force of the shock actually made my hand a little numb! This is something I never expected!

I was about to turn over and distance myself from the masked man, however, the knife just now had used up all the strength in my body, and my body's reaction speed could not match my nervous reaction speed at all.

Before I could react, a punching bag-sized fist slammed into my stomach!

"Uh......" punch almost knocked out the acid water in my stomach, and I lost my mind, only to feel a sharp pain coming from my neck, and a burst of darkness directly engulfed me.

Damn it......

ps: I'm really embarrassed to miss out on the lack of more because of poor thinking, seeing the messages supported by my friends, Xiaoyu is really moved, because there is no way to restore the message, there is no way to clarify many things in time, I am really aggrieved, but seeing my friends supporting as always, Xiaoyu suddenly felt that what he was doing was still valuable, and he was very happy.

For so many people who have always supported Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu sincerely says thank you, for you, I will never be a eunuch, definitely!
