Stay away from Conan

"A little boy with glasses?"

Listening to Iori Wuga's words, although Ooka Momiji was asking, looking at his expression, he didn't seem to have much doubts.

Regarding this, Iori Muga seemed to have already done a preliminary investigation, so he naturally accepted the inquiry and replied:

"Yes. A kid from Tokyo who is quite smart and has been in the news for retrieving the gems stolen by Kaitou Kidd."

So, after hearing this answer, Ooka Momiji couldn't help but smile and said:

"It's really a child that Heiji would like to interact with, so there's no need to worry about it."

"Yes. But... what about Master Heiji's first love?"

After answering, Iori Muga continued to ask.

As for this issue, the mention of Hattori Heiji's first love, for Ooka Momiji, was something published in a popular magazine after all, and she had seen it before.

Faced with this question, Ooka Momiji still had an elegant and calm attitude at this moment and replied:

"It doesn't matter. After all, the so-called first love is just a passer-by who has never talked to Heiji."

A very indifferent attitude. After all, according to the contents of the magazine and a simple investigation, at least so far, no such person has appeared next to Hattori Heiji. Therefore, in Ooka Momiji’s view, this is just a boy’s relationship with a child. It’s just a little nostalgia for a girl I’ve only met once, and it’s just a normal excuse for reporters to talk about——

After all, compared to that illusory first love, he was different. Heiji had clearly told himself, "I will marry myself as my bride next time we meet."

Therefore, I don't need to worry about the illusory first love, but I still need to prepare well for the formal meeting with Ping again and find a better time.

In this way, after listening to Ooka Momiji's answer, Iori Muga bowed respectfully and said:

"I see."

After saying that, Iori Muga was about to say goodbye and leave, but at this moment, Ooka Momiji’s cell phone rang, and the caller ID that she saw read——

Wise and lofty.

…

"hey-hey……"

Back to Conan and Hattori Heiji, when Conan asked Hattori Heiji if he had other purposes for his trip to Kyoto, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but chuckle and said:

"Oh, did you notice it?"

"Really?"

After giving Hattori Heiji a blank look, Conan couldn't help but sigh, then waved his hand and said helplessly:

"Okay, then tell me, what's going on?"

In this way, Hattori Heiji followed Conan and began to explain as he walked:

"Actually, this is what happened. In Osaka, the owner of a takoyaki restaurant I often went to was killed. According to Officer Otaki, the police have found that the owner is probably the thief group 'Genji Hotaru' Although he is a member of the thieves group, I have been going to his place since junior high school and have received a lot of care from him, so I want to help him find the murderer and avenge him. "

In this way, after Hattori Heiji briefly talked about the situation, after hearing the name "Genji Hotaru", Conan was a little stunned, and then seemed to remember something, and said thoughtfully:

"'Genji Hotaru'? I have an impression when you say that... It seems that it is a theft group that mainly operates in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and other places, and continuously steals famous Buddhist statues and works of art. However, the main activity time of this group is still on In the years between the end of the century and the beginning of this century, it seemed that the group had ceased operations in recent years, and no latest theft cases related to the group had been heard of...

"and……"

Speaking of this, Conan looked at Hattori Heiji:

"Although the scope of activities of 'Hotaru Genji' includes Kyoto, the deceased was killed in Osaka. Why did you come to Kyoto? Could it be that..."

"That's right."

Nodding, Hattori Heiji confirmed Conan's guess:

"Officer Otaki revealed to me that similar cases have occurred in Kyoto, and judging from the time of the crime, the two died almost on the same night, with only a few hours apart. The case in Kyoto happened It's almost early morning, so there may be witnesses who saw the murderer..."

“Osaka to Kyoto…”

Listening to Hattori Heiji's narration, Conan naturally fell into thinking. Regarding the current case Hattori Heiji told, since it is a similar case, that is to say, the people who were killed in Kyoto——

"Is the deceased here in Kyoto also a member of 'Hotaru Genji'?"

Conan asked, wanting to be sure.

"It shouldn't be wrong."

Hattori Heiji explained:

"Because the members of 'Genji Hotaru' all call each other by the names of Yoshitsune's retainers, and each of them holds a copy of Yoshitsune. After police investigation, it was found that the copy of Yoshitsune they held was both It was taken away."

In this regard, after hearing this, Conan continued to analyze:

"So, the whole thing taken together means that the members of 'Genji Hotaru' were killed in Osaka and Kyoto on the same night. And combined with the analysis of the death time of the two deceased, it is possible that the same murderer was killed on the same night. Traveling quickly between two places, murdering the two deceased people..."

As he said that, Conan looked at Hattori Heiji, and based on Hattori Heiji's status in Osaka, he said:

"You should have investigated the matter in Osaka, and probably found nothing, so I hope you can come to Kyoto, near the crime scene in the early morning, to see if you can find anything, right?"

"Yes, that's it!"

For Conan's analysis, Hattori Heiji smiled and nodded, confirming his guess:

"So, since you are here, investigate with me to see if there is any result... By the way, let's compete again to see whose reasoning is better."

So, after listening to Hattori Heiji's words, Conan naturally agreed. After all, as for the case, he is of course interested in investigating--

"But, do you really not consider changing back to your original appearance and investigating with me?"

In the end, Hattori Heiji seemed to be still struggling with whether Conan would change back to his original appearance.

In response, Conan could only continue to give Hattori Heiji a blank look to show his meaning, and it seemed that he insisted that he would not change back like this.

At this point, Hattori Heiji could only smile helplessly and let it go for now...

...

"Mr. Akechi, please."

At the same time, on the other side, in the Ooka mansion, led by Iori Muga, Gao Yuan, who had called Ooka Momiji in advance, entered this Japanese classical courtyard and went to the reception room to meet Ooka Momiji.

So, under the guidance of Iori Muga, Gao Yuan looked at the layout of this classical courtyard. Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the low-key luxury in it. It was even more luxurious than the mansion of Mitarai Muneaki that he had seen in Hokkaido before. It can only be said that it is worthy of the family of the former prime minister...
