Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 190 Yes, that’s actually Kudo!

Under the guidance of Hattori Heiji, Makino and his companions came to Sanjo Fuya-cho.

There is a "Benkeishi" placed here.

Under the curious gaze of Makino and Conan, Hattori Heiji introduced the origin and legend of this stone.

There are many legends about this stone. It is said that Benkei used to sit on this stone, while others say that this stone was thrown down from Mount Hiei by Benkei.

After looking at the stones for a few seconds, Conan took out his cell phone and carefully observed the surroundings, just like he did before at the Gojo Bridge.

After confirming that there were no clues related to the "puzzle painting" around, Conan shook his head helplessly: "This place doesn't seem to be related to the puzzle either."

"Really? Then let's go to the next place." Hattori Heiji suggested.

Without waiting for Hattori Heiji to speak, Makino shook his head and said, "It's already noon, how about we go eat first? Hattori, do you know of any good restaurants nearby?"

Hearing this, Conan glanced at the time and nodded.

Hattori Heiji touched his hat and thought, "I remember there seems to be a good restaurant near Canshui Park. There happens to be a statue of 'Yoshitsune Dainichi Nyorai' there. We can go there to investigate after we finish eating."

Neither Makino nor Conan had any objection to this.

After confirming the next itinerary, Makino took out his cell phone and called Kogoro Mouri and Ran respectively.

Kogoro Mori seemed to be still racking his brains over a puzzle in Sannoji Temple, and was about to have dinner with the monk Ryuen and the abbot Enkai in the temple.

Xiaolan and Kazuha are currently near the Kiyomizu-dera Temple gate, and they plan to find a restaurant nearby.

After learning that Makino is currently with Conan and Hattori Heiji, Xiaolan also vaguely asked if there are other people around Hattori Heiji, especially "women".

After receiving a negative answer, Makino clearly heard Xiaolan on the other end of the phone breathe a sigh of relief.

After hanging up the phone, Makino glanced at Hattori Heiji not far away, smiled and shook his head.

The later question was more like a question from Ip Man than from Xiaolan.

It seems that Hattori Heiji is also a man with deep sins, just like Conan.

……

Not long after, Makino and his two companions arrived at a Kaiseki restaurant.

Led by the waiter, they walked into a private room where they could see the cherry blossoms and pond outside the window.

After ordering the dishes, Hattori Heiji looked at the cherry blossoms outside the window, his face filled with memories.

While looking at the scenery outside the window, Conan complained: "Hattori, why do we have to eat such a long Kaiseki meal at noon? ...Hattori?"

It was not until Conan called Hattori Heiji's name for the second time that Hattori Heiji came to his senses.

He looked at Makino and Conan sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry, every time I see Sakura I think of what happened eight years ago."

"Eight years ago?" Conan stared at Hattori Heiji curiously.

Hattori Heiji nodded slightly, took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, and took out a white gem from it.

The next second, Hattori Heiji's eyes were once again filled with memories:
"Well, I went to explore a temple in Kyoto, but I accidentally bumped into the lattice window of the temple. My head hit the floor hard and I passed out. I don't know how long I was unconscious, but when I woke up, I heard someone singing a ballad outside..."

Speaking of this, Hattori Heiji once again recalled the scene at that time.

At this moment, Makino blinked quickly and coughed lightly: "By the way, Hattori, I suddenly remembered something."

"I remember Sister Yukiko told me that eight years ago when she took Kudo to Kyoto to visit a friend, Kudo seemed to have accidentally hit the car door and lost his memory."

"At that time, Sister Yukiko dressed Kudo up as a little girl, with makeup, a bun, and a red kimono. Kudo, who had lost his memory, really thought he was a girl. Later, he took a ball to a nearby temple, singing local nursery rhymes while playing with the ball."

At this point, Makino added: "Come to think of it, the temple that Kudo went to seems to be the Sannoji Temple that we visited today~ But unfortunately, after Kudo recovered his memory, he seemed to have completely forgotten about this incident."

Hattori Heiji: "Σ(°△°|||)!!!"

Conan: "???"

After hearing these words, especially after hearing that it was Makino who mentioned "Sannoji", Hattori Heiji opened his mouth wide, his face pale and his round eyes staring at Conan opposite him.

After seeing the expressions of the two, Makino turned to look at Hattori Heiji and chuckled, "Okay, Hattori, go on, what happened next?"

"This, this, this... No, it's impossible! The little girl I saw at that time was definitely not this shorty!!!" Hattori Heiji pointed at Conan, his voice trembling slightly.

Conan: "?"

Not to mention that I don't remember this incident at all... Hattori, why did you suddenly start making "personal attacks"? !
A few seconds later, Hattori Heiji, who had calmed down a little, also noticed the unhappy expression on Conan's face. He shook his head frantically and said, "Sorry Kudo, that's not what I meant..."

"What do you mean that's not what I meant? Hattori, what happened afterwards? Why did you react so strongly?" Conan narrowed his eyes and stared at Hattori Heiji opposite him.

Judging from Hattori Heiji's reaction, there must be something wrong here.

Seeing that Hattori Heiji was hesitant and didn't speak, Conan turned his head again to look at Makino beside him, his heart full of doubts: "Officer Makino, why don't I remember what you said?"

The reason why Conan did not directly deny Makino's words was because of the "Yukiko" mentioned by Makino.

He understands his mother's "character".

If he really had lost his memory at that time, that mischievous mother might really dress him up as a girl and trick him into doing this or that...

Makino glanced at Hattori Heiji who was "doubting his life" and Conan who was full of confusion in front of him, smiled and shook his head.

Although Conan's "calmness" exceeded his imagination, Hattori Heiji's reaction was indeed within his expectations.

As for why Conan was so calm, and even asked about the truth of the matter so calmly, it must have something to do with Yukiko.

Thinking of this, Makino stopped teasing the two of them and directly picked up the "crystal bead" on the table and said seriously: "Hattori, this crystal bead is probably not dropped by your first love."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji immediately woke up from his "nightmare" just now: "What? It wasn't... dropped by her? Officer Makino, what does this mean?"

"This is not an ordinary crystal bead, but the white hair on the head of the Buddha statue. The 'Medicine Buddha' in Shanneng Temple was stolen eight years ago." Makino took a closer look at the white beads in his hand in the sunlight outside the window.

"What? You mean the glowing hair between the eyebrows of the Buddha statue?" Hattori Heiji pointed at his own eyebrows and asked.

Makino nodded and said, "That's right. This crystal bead must have been accidentally dropped by the thief group 'Genji Hotaru' when they were stealing the Buddha statue."

"So that's how it is. It was indeed eight years ago that I went to that temple..." Hattori Heiji looked at the crystal beads in Makino's hand and fell into deep thought.

Conan also lowered his head and thought carefully.

At this moment, the two of them had obviously forgotten the farce that happened earlier. …

At the same time, in a study room.

Two men sat face to face on the sofa, one of them had a slightly nervous expression, while the other had a fierce look in his eyes.

The next moment, the slightly bloated man looked at the man opposite him and said anxiously: "Nishio, what should we do? That guy named Makino is a high-ranking official in the Metropolitan Police Department! You should have seen the news this morning. Those policemen may target us at any time!"

Seeing that the man opposite him didn't say anything, the man continued: "Say, maybe the police officer named Makino came to Kyoto just to investigate this matter!"

After two seconds of silence, the man on the other side spoke impatiently: "Okay Yingzheng! Why are you so nervous? The police don't know our identities. Besides, they don't have any clues now."

Nishijo Taiga's words made Sakura Masazō on the opposite side feel a little relieved.

Indeed, although they have now attracted the attention of the police, the police not only have no clues about the case, but also do not know that their real target is not killing people, but the Buddha statue.

But the next second, Nishijo Taiga's words made him nervous again: "At this point, we must act quickly! Otherwise, once we are targeted by the police, everything will be in vain!"

"Then, what should we do?" Sakura Masao asked quickly.

"First, find a way to get the 'White Hair' back from that Hattori Heiji, and then..." When he said this, a cold light flashed in Nishijo Taiga's eyes.

Sakura Shozo said, "What if we're discovered by that policeman?"

"When that time really comes, let that policeman go down to accompany 'them'." Nishijo Taiga said coldly.

Sakura Masao hesitated and said, "But Officer Makino's position in the Metropolitan Police Department is not low. If we kill him, it will definitely attract the attention of the police, and I'm sure they will increase the police force..."

Nishijo Taiga interrupted Sakura Masao and said fiercely, "It's already this late, what are you still hesitating about? Anyway, we have been targeted by the police, so it doesn't matter who we kill!!"

Sakura Masazao was frightened by Nishijo Taiga's momentum. He nodded silently, sweating profusely.

However, Sakura Masao did not notice that after Nishijo Taiga said this, he also glanced at him with a vicious look.

……

In the evening, Makino and his companions received a call from Kogoro Mori.

On the phone, Kogoro Mori said that Ryuen, a monk from Sannoji Temple, and the donors he had met before wanted to invite them to dinner.

The location is in a hotel around Pontocho.

Although Kogoro Mori did not say it explicitly on the phone, Makino and the others knew, just by hearing the location and name of the restaurant, that it was most likely a kaiseki restaurant with geisha performances.

At the end of the phone call, Kogoro Mori made it clear that he asked Makino to help him convey this matter to Xiaolan.

After hanging up the phone, Makino laughed and shook his head.

Judging from the voice that Kogoro Mouri made just now, he is obviously no longer in a "normal state" and seems to be a little drunk.

But he seemed to still maintain a certain degree of lucidity.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically asked me to tell Xiaolan that they were going to have dinner at a restaurant where geishas might be present that night.

Although Conan and Hattori Heiji did not hear clearly what Kogoro Mori said on the phone, they had already guessed the current situation from Makino's words.

Hattori Heiji said, "Officer Makino, let's go together. Isn't that guy Kazuha with Xiaolan? The two of us can have dinner at a nearby restaurant, and then we can meet up after dinner."

"No need to be so troublesome. It's more fun when we eat together! Don't think too much. At worst, I can treat you all today~" Makino waved his hand casually.

He understood what Hattori Heiji was worried about.

Since someone else is treating, he and He Ye cannot join in so casually. This is not only a matter of money, but also a matter of courtesy.

Hearing what Makino said, Hattori Heiji smiled and rubbed his hands: "Since Officer Makino has said so, I will respectfully obey your orders~"

Seeing this, Conan on the side said directly: "Tsk, even if Officer Makino didn't say anything, you would probably go there directly, right?"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji was about to rub Conan's head hard, but suddenly he thought of something, quickly moved his eyes away from Conan's face, covered his mouth and said: "Sorry Kudo, I can't look directly at your face for the time being!"

Conan gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! You... didn't Officer Makino say it was a joke?!"

"I'm sorry, I really..."

"hateful!"

While the two were bickering, Makino glanced at the text messages sent by Officer Sato and Officer Shiratori, a gleam of light flashed across his eyes, and he thought to himself: "It looks like we can close the net soon~"

……

Pontocho.

Outside the teahouse [Sakuraya].

After meeting Xiaolan and the others, everyone immediately greeted each other with a smile.

However, Makino and the others clearly noticed that although He Ye had a smile on her face, she did not seem to be in a very good mood.

Seeing this, Xiaolan glanced at Kazuha and Hattori Heiji beside her, and immediately changed the subject: "Brother Makino, have Dad and the others gone in?"

"Well, but we just arrived too. Mr. Maori said that when we arrive we can just tell the service staff 'the room booked by Mr. Ryuen'." Makino glanced at the end of the street and spoke.

"Really? Then let's go in. Come to think of it, this is my first time in a restaurant like this!" Xiaolan immediately took He Ye's arm and walked into the restaurant with a smile.

Before entering the door, Makino glanced at both sides of the street again with his peripheral vision, and an inexplicable smile flashed in his eyes.

Soon after, everyone walked into a spacious box under the guidance of the service staff.

As soon as they entered the box, everyone saw Kogoro Mouri with a red face.

At this moment, he was holding the wine glass in his hand, staring straight at the geisha beside him who was pouring wine for him.

For a moment, Makino and the others could not tell whether Kogoro Mori's blushing was due to the wine or to the geisha in front of him.

Without waiting for Makino and the others to greet everyone in the room, Xiaolan clenched her fists and said, "Dad?!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Kogoro Mouri quickly turned his head and looked towards the door.

After seeing the fake smiles on the faces of Makino and the others, especially Xiaolan, his hands trembled and a few drops of wine spilled.

“Xiao-Lan?! Long time no see! Ha, hahahaha…”
