Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 191: Catching People in a Jar
After hearing what Maori Kogoro said, Xiaolan did not take action directly, but showed a kind smile: "Dad, it seems that you have drunk too much~"

Although Xiaolan's smile looked very gentle and her words were very ordinary, Kogoro Mori and Makino all smelled a scent of "threat" and "warning" from them.

Kogoro Mori smacked his lips nervously, and his drunkenness immediately dissipated a little.

Although the monk Long Yuan at the side didn't know what happened, he also noticed that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong. He immediately smiled and looked at Makino and others: "Okay, what are you all doing standing at the door? Sit down quickly~"

It was only then that the art dealer Sakura Masazou, who was standing nearby, seemed to have just noticed Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha standing beside Makino and his companions. He looked at Makino in confusion and asked, "Mr. Makino, who are these two?"

Without waiting for Makino to answer, the bookstore owner Nishijo Taiga stood up and said in surprise, "I remember now, this boy could be the famous high school detective, Hattori Heiji?"

Upon hearing this, the geisha beside Kogoro Mori and several people around him also looked at Hattori Heiji curiously.

Sakura Masao also pretended to be surprised and said, "What? He is the famous high school detective in Osaka?! If that's the case, there are already two famous detectives and one famous police officer at the scene!"

Makino did not participate in the performance.

As soon as he entered the room, Makino noticed that Nishijo Taiga and Sakura Masao's eyes kept scanning Hattori Heiji.

The surprise in the two people's eyes might be real, but what surprised them was probably not Hattori Heiji's identity, but the fact that Hattori Heiji would appear here by such a coincidence.

After greeting everyone, Makino and his companions found a seat and sat down under the warm invitation of the monk Long Yuan.

After sitting down, Makino looked at Long Yuan beside him and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Long Yuan, I brought these two here without permission. Why don't I do it today..."

Before Muye could finish, the monk Long Yuan waved his hand and poured a glass of wine for him: "Mr. Muye, you don't have to be so polite! You all came from afar, how can I let you treat me? Besides, I don't usually have much money to spend, so please don't be polite!"

Hearing this, Makino didn't say anything more, but directly picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Long Yuan to thank him for his generosity.

In fact, monks' salaries have always been very high.

Moreover, monks generally do not have to spend money on "food, clothing, housing and transportation".

Especially for a senior monk like Ryuen who "works" in a large temple like Sannoji, his annual salary is at least the same as that of Inspector Megure.

Even in Tokyo, they are considered high-income earners.

In addition to having a good social status, monks can also drink alcohol, eat meat, and even marry and have children.

at the same time.

Hattori Heiji also noticed the geisha next to him.

Although the geisha had thick white makeup on her face, Hattori Heiji recognized her at the first sight: "Huh? Weren't you in Miyagawa-cho this morning..."

"I'm Chiga Suzu, thank you so much for this morning~" The geisha Chiga Suzu gently turned her body and smiled softly to express her gratitude to Hattori Heiji.

Kazuha, who was standing by, saw that Hattori Heiji and the geisha looked very familiar, and pouted: "Heiji, do you know her?"

"Well, we met this morning." Hattori Heiji answered casually.

After seeing that Hattori Heiji answered her question, he immediately turned his head to look at Chiga Ling beside him, and a hint of loss flashed across He Ye's eyes.

At this moment, she was extremely anxious.

Could it be that this girl named Chiga Suzu is the "first love" that Hattori Heiji mentioned in the previous interview...

Hattori Heiji, who was carefully observing Chiga Ling, did not notice Kazuha's emotions, but Xiaolan, who was standing next to him, clearly noticed that Kazuha's emotions seemed to be a little bit wrong.

After thinking carefully, Xiaolan looked at Hattori Heiji and said, "Hattori, I heard that your interview was published in a magazine?"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, then he said: "Yes, you should have heard it from Kazuha, but now it seems that I was wrong at that time."

"What did you say wrong?" Xiaolan asked puzzledly.

Kazuha on the side immediately looked at Hattori Heiji beside her, with a hint of ambiguous "expectation" in her brows.

Could it be that the girl wasn't actually Heiji's first love? !
Under Kazuha's expectant gaze, Hattori Heiji took out the small cloth bag containing "Bai Hao" from his pocket again and took out the Bai Hao in front of everyone.

"This is it. At first I thought this crystal bead was something that girl dropped, but I didn't expect it to be the white hair on the Buddha statue."

The moment Hattori Heiji took out the white hair, the eyes of Saijo Taikawa and Sakura Masazo on the side immediately shifted to the white hair in Hattori Heiji's hand.

Although they didn't say anything, there was a hint of naked "greed" in their eyes.

The monk Ryuen, who was drinking with Makino, was also attracted by the "white hair" mentioned by Hattori Heiji.

The next moment, Ryuen slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, walked in front of Hattori Heiji and said, "Can I take a look?"

"Of course." Hattori Heiji directly handed the white hair in his hand to Ryuen.

After carefully examining the hair under the light in the room for a few seconds, Ryuen returned the hair to Hattori Heiji: "This is indeed the hair from a Buddha statue, but I don't know which statue it is from... Where did you pick it up from?"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji avoided Ryuen's sight, scratched his head embarrassedly, and looked at Makino not far away for help: "Yes, yes, where did you pick it up from?"

Long Yuan: “?”

Isn't this the question I asked you?

Seeing that Hattori Heiji did not answer, Ryuen did not continue to ask.

After all, it was just a white hair that came from nowhere. It couldn't possibly be the white hair on the Medicine Buddha statue that was lost in their temple, right?

Thinking of this, Long Yuan didn't ask any more questions. He turned back to Makino and continued drinking with him.

Seeing that the monk in front of him did not recognize that this was their white hair, Hattori Heiji quickly wiped the cold sweat from his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this was not a big deal, eight years ago, I broke into someone else's temple without permission, broke things, and even took away the Buddha's hair...

No matter how you think about it, this is not something to be proud of.

Except for Makino and Kazuha who had been observing Hattori Heiji, no one else noticed Hattori Heiji's little movement.

As for Conan, he was looking at the moonlight in the sky with a dazed look on his face.

Seeing that her words did not elicit more information about Hattori Heiji's "first love", Xiaolan sighed in disappointment.

At this moment, Makino suddenly looked at Kazuha and said, "Kazuha, have you ever been to Kyoto with Hattori before?"

Although he didn't know why Makino asked this, Heye nodded and said, "We came here once eight years ago, but we didn't stay here for long and returned to Osaka very quickly."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha beside him in confusion.

Eight years ago?
Makino glanced at Kazuha and Hattori Heiji, smiled and shook his head, and continued to ask: "At that time, didn't Hattori Heiji say that he was going to explore the surrounding temples? Didn't you go with him?"

Kazuha nodded and said, "That's right, but how did you know about this, Makino-san? I remember that at that time, Heiji said something about going to explore a nearby temple, and he ran away without me..." "Come to think of it, I remember the temple he was talking about was the Sannoji Temple."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha in surprise, as if he remembered something, and frowned.

Kazuha did not notice Hattori Heiji's expression at this time, and continued to recall: "At that time, my relatives helped me put on a kimono, tied my hair into a bun, and put makeup on me.

Later, I didn’t find Heiji in the temple. I just played with the ball for a while and then left~"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji quickly grabbed Kazuha's shoulders with both hands and said excitedly: "Were you singing a nursery rhyme while you were hitting the ball?!"

"Eh? Wait, Heiji...why are you suddenly so close to me?" Kazuha couldn't help but blush as she looked at Hattori Heiji's face so close to her.

But seeing how serious Hattori Heiji was, she still answered, "I did sing a few lines. I remember that cherry blossoms were falling at that time, and it was very beautiful."

The next second, in front of Hattori Heiji's astonished gaze, Kazuha began to sing: "Marutake Iji, Oshiomiike, Bride Rokkaku..."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji slowly opened his hands, closed his eyes, smiled and shook his head.

At this moment, he understood it all.

It turns out that the girl he could never forget back then had always been by his side.

After seeing Hattori Heiji's expression, Kazuha asked curiously, "What's wrong, Heiji? Why are you laughing? Did I sing badly?"

"No, it's just that I finally meet you..." Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha with gentle eyes and shook his head slowly.

Looking at Hattori Heiji's gentle gaze, Kazuha's face instantly turned a little red.

Although she still had many questions in her mind, this was almost the first time she saw Hattori Heiji's "gentleness", so she forgot to ask further questions for a moment.

Seeing that the situation seemed a little "wrong", Xiaolan quietly walked to Makino and asked, "Brother Makino, what happened? Why do I feel that the atmosphere between the two of them..."

Makino lowered his head and took a sip of wine, then chuckled and said, "Isn't this normal? Because Kazuha is Hattori's first love~"

Makino did not lower his voice on purpose, so Hattori and Heiji who were standing beside him heard what Makino said.

A bright red color suddenly appeared on Hattori Heiji's originally dark face.

Toyama Kazuha looked at Hattori Heiji in confusion, who didn't dare to look her in the eye and whose face was dark and red, and instantly realized that what Makino had just said was probably true.

Thinking of this, she covered her red and "steamy" face, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth wildly.

One sentence kept repeating in my mind: "The first love that Heiji was talking about is me?!"

After seeing the appearance of Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha at this moment, Xiaolan also showed an aunt-like smile on her face.

After a moment, Xiaolan turned her head and glanced at Conan by the window, her gaze lingering for a few seconds.

Then he looked at the moonlight outside the window again, and a trace of loneliness appeared on his face.

After noticing Xiaolan's gaze and expression, Makino took a sip of the wine in the glass and silently glanced at Conan not far away.

Although Conan has tried his best to hide his identity from Xiaolan, it seems that Xiaolan has not completely dispelled her suspicion of Conan.

But speaking of it, what was Conan's purpose in hiding his true identity from Xiaolan?

Better protect Xiaolan?
……

after an hour.

Everyone was basically full and started watching the geisha's performance.

During the meal, Kogoro Mori even volunteered to play the classic hotel game "Kinpilasunetsu" with Chiga Suzu.

The two of them took turns grabbing and putting down the wine glasses in front of them to the rhythm of the music.

As the game progressed, Kogoro Mori's "lewd laughter" could be heard by everyone from time to time.

If it were under normal circumstances, Xiaolan would have stepped forward and punched Kogoro Mouri hard.

However, after what happened just now, Xiaolan was a little absent-minded at the moment.

At this moment, Sakura Shozo and Saijo Taiga looked at each other, then stood up and said, "Mr. Ryuen, everyone! We both seem to have had a little too much to drink, so we'll leave first~"

Without waiting for Long Yuan to speak, Makino looked down at the message on his phone, slowly walked to the two of them, and chuckled, "Sorry, I'm afraid you two can't leave yet~"

After hearing what Makino said, everyone's attention, except for the drunk Mouri Kogoro, was instantly focused on Makino.

Ying Zhengzo frowned and said, "Mr. Makino, what do you mean? What do you mean we can't leave?"

Nishijo Taiga on the side didn't say anything, but he was vaguely aware of something and took half a step back.

Makino glanced at Saijo Taiga's little move and shook his head, saying, "As for the reason... you two should know it very well~ right, Mr. Benkei, Mr. Ise Saburo?"

The moment they heard these two "titles", Sakura Masao and Nishijo Taiga's faces changed drastically.

Conan and Hattori Heiji on the side also stood up immediately and stared at Sakura Masazō and Nishijo Taiga in front of them with vigilance.

Although they were a little confused at this time, since Officer Makino had said so, there was no way it could be wrong!

I didn’t expect that these two people were actually members of that thief group!
In the moment when Ying Zhengzao and the other person were stunned, several footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door.

Amid everyone's astonished gazes, Officers Sato and Otaki, along with several of their subordinates, pushed open the door of the room.

"Sakura Shozo, Nishijo Taiga! You are now under arrest for murder and theft!"

After hearing what Officer Sato said, Sakura Masao wanted to run away, but suddenly his legs went weak and he tripped to the ground.

Nishijo Taiga calmly looked at the situation around him, then instantly took out a dagger from his pocket and rushed towards Makino who was not far from the window.

The door was full of police officers and there was no way he could get out.

In that case, there is only one way left!
As long as he quickly knocks down Officer Makino who is blocking the window, he can successfully jump down from the second floor and find a way to escape from here!

Seeing this scene, although the monk Long Yuan had not yet reacted to what was happening, he immediately shouted: "Be careful!!"

As soon as he said this, he realized that neither the policeman who had just rushed in nor the other people present seemed to be willing to help.

Some people even put on an expression as if they were "watching a good show".

Seeing this, although he knew it was too late, Ryuuen still stepped forward quickly, thinking to himself: "Have the hearts of the world become so cold and indifferent?!"
