"This is my competition venue." Hattori Heiji pointed around and introduced.

Akira Hanamiya looked around and saw many people wearing kendo competition uniforms.

"No! Look over there. Over there is the bulletin board with the competition results." Hattori Heiji pointed to a standing sign not far ahead.

Hearing this, the group of people came closer and looked up.

"Hattori, are you from Kaigata High School... Let me see..." Akira Hanamiya searched for a while and found the location of Kaigata High School.

"Oh! Not bad! We have already entered the semi-finals!" Meng Yu said in surprise.

"Yes, yes! And that's even when Heiji didn't appear!" Kazuya also said with joy on his face:

"If Heiji appears, we will have a great chance of winning this time!" He Ye said and clenched his fists fiercely.

"What do you mean by a high probability? You will definitely win!" Hattori Heiji corrected.

"Yes, yes! Then Heiji, you must work hard!" Kazuye smiled.

"You don't need to tell me that!" Hattori Heiji said with a smile.

At this time, a cry suddenly came from next to several people: "What? You want to meet me?"

Hattori Heiji heard this exclamation and immediately turned his head to look. Seeing Hattori Heiji's reaction, Hanomiya Akira also moved his eyes.

I saw a short and fat man talking to a tall man.

Judging from their attire, they should be contestants who will participate in this competition.

The short, fat man looked panicked and said to the burly man: "Yes, I... we are not sure if he is still breathing, he is covered in blood!"

Hattori Heiji's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Where is he?"

"Huh? Who are you?" Facing this stranger who suddenly interrupted the conversation, the burly man showed a confused and wary expression.

However, Hattori Heiji did not turn it off, but shouted anxiously at the short and fat man: "I asked you where he is!?"

The short, fat man was restrained by Hattori Heiji's sudden momentum and subconsciously replied: "In...in the warehouse of the second building..."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji immediately ran in one direction!

Conan's face darkened when he saw this, and he quickly followed Hattori Heiji.

"Hey! Heiji! Where are you going?" Kazuha exclaimed.

"It looks like something happened. Come on, let's go and take a look." Akira Hanomiya simply explained and chased in the direction of Hattori Heiji.

After being stunned for a moment, the rest of the people followed suit.

Not long after, the group came to a warehouse.

Hattori Heiji walked into the warehouse first, looking around quickly.

This is an ordinary warehouse with some sporting goods stacked inside. Other than that, there is nothing unusual.

"Strange...how could there be no one?" Hattori Heiji wondered.

"How could it be? I remember he was clearly lying next to this box!" the short, fat man said with a frightened expression.

Hattori Heiji came to the only box in the warehouse and looked inside: "Huh? Why is there a dummy?"

"That should be a prop used in first aid teaching in nursing classes." The burly man explained.

"Oh! You mean the one used for artificial respiration in class!" the short, fat man suddenly said.

Hattori Heiji picked up the dummy, looked at it twice, turned back and pointed at the dummy and said, "I said, do you think this dummy is your teammate?"

"How is this possible!" the short, fat man shouted excitedly.

"I also think it's unlikely." Yu Gongming walked in and looked at the dummy.

"The light here does not bias people's vision to such an extent, and the dummy is in a box, which does not match the location described by this gentleman."

"And the gentleman just mentioned [us], which means that there is more than one discoverer, so the chance of misunderstanding is even smaller."

"That's right..." Hattori Heiji agreed with Hanomiya Akira's inference.

"Hey! I brought the police here!" A voice sounded outside the warehouse door.

Seeing this, several people temporarily left the warehouse, only to see two men wearing the same kendo uniforms as the burly and short fat men running over with several police officers.

"The ambulance will be here in thirty minutes," one of the thin men said.

"But, Chuijian has disappeared." The burly man said solemnly.

"What? How is this possible?" the two people who had just arrived asked in disbelief.

"Indeed, maybe that guy is playing some prank to mess with us!" The burly man's face was a little gloomy.

"Is this...is this true?" the thin man hesitated.

"Anyway, let's look for it separately now..." the burly man said:

"If he is really hiding somewhere and snickering, I will definitely give him some color to show him!"

"That..." a female voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone turned around and saw a gymnasium staff member looking at them. Seeing them looking over, the staff member said in the direction of the burly man: "Are you students from Xinnai University?"

"Uh, yes, it's us." Another hedgehog-headed man who arrived with the police replied.

"It's like this..." the staff explained: "Just a few minutes ago, a strange person called at the signing place at the venue."

"They asked me to go to the warehouse and find a few people from Xinnei University, and then ask you to go to the locker room next to the swimming pool."

"You must be meeting that guy!" the burly man said with an ugly expression.

"Damn it! That kid hasn't had enough fun yet!" The hedgehog-headed man looked angry.

"Well, let's go take a look anyway..." the short, fat man suggested weakly.

…………

Inside the swimming pool locker room.

Hattori Heiji opened the door and entered the locker room with the group.

In the locker room, there was a sound of shower, and everyone followed the sound and entered the shower room.

The next moment, everyone's expressions changed at the same time, and He Ye couldn't help but scream.

I saw a shower head gushing water. Under the water, a man in kendo uniform was sitting against the wall, his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

And beside him, there was a long knife stained with blood!

"Don't move!" Hattori Heiji stopped everyone from Shinnai University who wanted to step forward, carefully came to the shower head, wrapped his palms in a towel to turn off the water flow, and then lowered his head to check the situation of the man leaning against the wall.

"He... he should still be alive, right?" the short, fat man asked stutteringly.

Hattori Heiji explored for a while, turned his head and said solemnly: "No, unfortunately, he is dead."

"What!?" Several people at Xinnei University suddenly exclaimed.

…………

About half an hour later, Officer Otaki from Osaka Police Station arrived at the scene.

Looking at the body covered in water in front of him, Officer Otaki immediately frowned: "The body was soaked in hot water for a while. It may take more effort to determine the time of death."

He picked up the long knife on the ground and murmured: "However, the murder weapon should be this knife. As long as we find the owner of the blade, we should be able to..."

"No, you are wrong, Officer Otaki!" The young man's voice ruthlessly interrupted Officer Otaki's analysis.
