Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 223: Become a Writer Anytime, Anywhere

Listening to Amon's comments, which were not sure whether they were directed at the police officer or the squirrel, Ai licked her paws in boredom and shrank back into Miyano Shiho's arms.

"No matter where I go, I can always run into this strange police officer." Hattori Heiji looked at Officer Ayanokouji who had already walked a long way away, and whispered to himself, "He seems to be someone quite important."

"He seems to be from a noble family." Miyano Shiho judged. "Even if he came here to say something harsh, he used too many honorifics."

"Is there any noble family in Kyoto named Ayanokouji?" Conan asked, looking up.

An He searched on his mobile phone and soon got the result.

"It seems to be a well-known and prestigious family in Gion."

Now that the influence of the Emperor is gradually fading into history, the aristocratic chaebols who have accumulated capital have stronger control over Kyoto.

"This guy seemed to be quite famous in the forum a few years ago. As the first heir of the Ayanokouji family, he ended up going to the police academy halfway through his career. To some extent, he is also a legend."

He looked at the search results and couldn't help but marvel at them.

The rich kids in this world always try to find some fun in their dull lives; this is true for Kudo Shinichi, Hattori Heiji, this noble police officer, and even many murderers.

Probably like a certain three-choice rule, it has been written into the underlying logic of this world.

This inexplicable police officer was just a minor episode after all, and the four of them quickly went to the next stop.

Keage Slope Canal Park.

Although it is called a park, it is actually not very big. It consists of a stone tablet surrounded by grass and an irregular circle of white and pink cherry trees around it.

Not far to the right of the entrance to the park is a small pavilion with a pool and faucet for visitors to drink water and wash their hands.

In the center of the pavilion is a wooden sculpture of Vairocana Buddha.

"You said before that what was lost in Sannoji Temple eight years ago was a statue of Yakushi Nyorai, right?" Hattori Heiji touched his chin and asked Conan beside him.

Conan squeezed out a dead fish eye: "This is Mahavairocana, it is obviously not the same Buddha statue as the lost one."

An He looked at the Buddha statue with great interest.

If he were to worship it, wouldn’t it crack like the statue in Osaka?
But he quickly gave up the idea.

Forget it. I wasn't familiar with the previous shrine, so it wasn't a big deal if the statue was cracked. I was more familiar with Tathagata, so it would be a bit embarrassing to let others worship it if it was cracked.

At least do some good deeds.

“I don’t see any connection at all.”

After walking around, Conan felt a little discouraged.

"What are the pictures on it? Red cicadas, green tengu, swimming goldfish, golden chickens and loaches. There are even violets and Mount Fuji, and a single acorn next to it. If these point to a certain code, then how do we decode it?" He looked very distressed.

It would be great if Dr. Agasa was here. As a "researcher" he must be good at deciphering codes.

Unfortunately, the Ivy League invited him to attend a seminar in the United States some time ago. His cell phone was turned off during the meeting, so he couldn't be contacted at all.
Hattori Heiji doesn't seem to be in such a hurry, and seems to have plenty of time to spare.

He raised his hand to check his watch and suggested, "It's already this late, how about we go eat first?"

"Ga! I second the motion!" Amon shouted loudly.

Even though he didn't help much, it was still hard work, so Amon decided to reward himself with a big meal.

Although I don't know what kind of food it can eat in human restaurants.

Miyano Shiho and Ai looked at Anhe almost at the same time.

An He didn't want to object. He opened his phone and looked at the map. He said, "If you want to find something to eat, you may have to walk to San Tiao Road. It's not far. Let's walk there."

After unanimous agreement from the "Detective Team", Hattori Heiji's proposal was voted through, and the four people and two pets walked along the gravel path beside the cherry blossom forest towards the other side of the block.

The cherry blossoms slowly fall, circling and flying in the air, as if performing a wonderful waltz. One flower is like this, and so are all the flowers. A romantic rain falls in the cool season of late autumn.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, casting a soft golden glow on the falling flower rain, making each scattered cherry blossom shine with a delicate and warm luster.

The wind seemed to slow down its pace, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility and beauty. It just gently and quietly took their hands, silently playing the role of a qualified dance partner.

Amon also felt the fun, so he flapped his wings and flew up, adding several different melodies to the dance. He picked up the petals that fell on Miyano Shiho's brown hair, and seemed to be curious about its taste, so he swallowed it into his stomach.

It smacked its short beak, and as if it had tasted the sweetness, it dived into a dense cherry tree, completing the species evolution from a starling to a "bear".

“Hmm—”

Ai was not to be outdone. Seeing her friends having fun, she became curious and jumped out of Miyano Shiho's arms and climbed up the tree in a flash.

Miyano Shiho stopped under the tree, looked up at the beautiful rain of cherry blossoms, and suddenly felt that this trip was not as bad as she had imagined. At least so far there had been no series of murders, and instead she had a fairly competent tour guide in Hattori Heiji.

Since the two little guys were playing around, people naturally had to be a little tolerant of them, so the four of them stopped in the cherry blossom forest.

"Sakura"

Hattori Heiji raised his head, his tone somewhat emotional.

"Every time I see cherry blossoms, I think of that evening eight years ago."

"I was going to explore a temple in Kyoto, but I accidentally bumped into a pillar in the temple, and a big bump appeared on my head. I passed out at that moment."

“I don’t know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I saw a view that I will never forget.”

As the Osaka boy told the story slowly, the group seemed to have returned to that evening eight years ago and saw the scene of cherry blossoms filling the sky.

"Maruzhu Yiji, Oshiomiike——"

"Bride Rokukaku, Octopus Brocade——"

"Shiling Buddha, Takamatsu, Mangojo——"

"Snowshoes, jingle-dongs, fish racks—"

"After six or seven of them——"

"After Hachijo, it's Toji-dori—"

"Finally, there are nine avenues—"

The old dwarf trees bent down with the sound of the wind.

The cherry blossoms all over the sky dye the world pink.

The boy hurriedly got up, rushed out of the temple gate, and ran to the old tree in the yard.

In the end, all I saw was fallen flowers all over the ground.

"It was a beautiful girl wearing a pink kimono with two pigtails on her head."

Hattori Heiji seemed to be still a little unsatisfied.

"She is not the same cute type as a child. She is really pretty, but her kimono doesn't look that delicate. She probably doesn't come from a wealthy family."

"Although it felt like a dream, it was definitely real. I always felt that I would meet her again one day."

"Puchi--" A suppressed but unconcealed laugh sounded, Hattori Heiji's face turned dark, and when he looked down he saw a big head trembling slightly, obviously he couldn't stop laughing.

"Hey, what's so funny about this!"

"Sorry, sorry." Conan laughed even louder and more indulgently, saying it without any sincerity.

"Although you described it in great detail, it seems difficult to prove that this was not a dream based on the feeling alone." Miyano Shiho caught Ai who jumped down from the tree and commented lightly on Hattori Heiji's childhood sweetheart.

"And from my personal point of view, all love at first sight in the world is just a euphemism for lust at first sight."

For some reason, when she said this, An He always felt that she was looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Of course I have evidence to prove that this really happened!" Hattori Heiji touched his back pocket and took out a small silk bag.

“I bring this with me every time I come to Kyoto.”

Conan took the small bag from him, unbuttoned it and saw a small white bead as white as jade lying quietly inside.

"Isn't this just an ordinary crystal bead?" He looked at it carefully in the sunlight and returned it to Hattori Heiji, "And I seem to have seen this shape somewhere before."

"Really?" Hattori Heiji suddenly became excited, "Have you seen anyone with the same one?"

"I don't know." Conan shook his head. He only had a vague impression, but it was not clear. Maybe he would remember it when he saw the thing that impressed him again, or he could try to go back and ask Xiaolan to help him with divination.

"Oh, right." He suddenly reminded Hattori Heiji, "Why don't you try to find someone with divination skills to help you look for it? There should be quite a few Beyonders in the Osaka Police Station, right?"

Hattori Heiji looked very resentful: "My father keeps a close eye on those extraordinary people and has set up a special extraordinary affairs handling team. They are busy all day long. I can't bother them with such a personal matter."

"Ok."

Miyano Shiho suddenly spoke up: "Let's not talk about how to find your 'first love', but first figure out, are you really going to find her?"

"Of course." Hattori Heiji looked at her strangely, "I dream of seeing her again."

"Is this really okay?" Miyano Shiho's tone was light, but it got to the point directly, "Does Kazuha know about this?"

"Although I haven't mentioned it to her in detail, she knows about it."

"You didn't mention it, how did He Ye know?" An He asked curiously.

Hattori Heiji sighed: "She will know, in fact, it is because of my own problem."

In just a few words, he explained the whole cause and effect to everyone.

"A magazine interview?"

An He's expression was very strange: "You mean, because the reporter asked about your first love, so you said it was a girl older than you that you met in Kyoto when you were in the third grade of elementary school?"

Hattori Heiji nodded honestly.

"Is it true that Mr. Heizo and Mr. Ginjiro didn't attack you after they knew about this?" He was a little nervous.

Although he knew that the girl was actually Toyama Kazuha who had dressed up, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha herself were unaware of this beautiful misunderstanding!

From this perspective, Hattori's actions are simply enough to give you a brain hemorrhage, okay?

Miyano Shiho didn't know that Hattori Heiji's "first love" was Kazuha, so her face became even colder.

She tried to put herself in Kazuha's perspective and wonder how Kazuha would feel, but she failed at the first step.

It's so funny, I can't relate to it at all.

If she knew someday that Ah Wa Jun had a "first love" in his heart that he could not forget, and he still mentioned her in public from time to time, and every year he would go to the place where he first met her to try to meet her again.
Ha ha.

Years of dissection techniques would teach him how to be focused.

An He felt a cold gaze and couldn't help but shiver slightly.

Even Amon tactfully rested on his shoulder and did not dare to act rashly again.

"Ah, there's a good-looking Sukiyaki restaurant up ahead, it smells so good!" Noticing that the atmosphere was not right, Conan laughed awkwardly and shouted in an innocent tone.

As a result, the three of them pulled themselves out of the atmosphere just now and looked at him with complicated eyes.

Conan put down his fingers uneasily, his smile gradually stiffened, and he shrank back.

"What, what's wrong?"

"No, it's okay." An He rubbed his big head with emotion.

As an "inspector", you are obviously unqualified now.

However, as the ultimate "ideal", you have learned the most important quality, which is "sacrifice".

Conan, the future is promising!
After filling their stomachs, everyone headed to the next stop.

Kurama Temple

Conan looked at the paper map he had gotten from the convenience store before, changed the direction several times, and compared it with the photo with the puzzle drawn on it. Suddenly, he had a strange feeling and an inspiration moved slightly.

He felt that he had grasped a corner of the truth, and he only lacked a key clue, and he would be able to break through the restrictions and clear up all the mystery.

"That's Nioumon." Hattori Heiji looked at the mountain gate not far away.

"Most people usually go up the mountain from there when they visit, but it's more convenient for us to take the mountain trail and enter from the west gate."

He led the way toward a mountain road covered with dead leaves.

An He looked at the only blue motorcycle parked in the parking lot, thought for a moment, and took out a simple notebook from his pocket.

"Amon, come here."

Amon heard the call and jumped over reluctantly and jumped onto his shoulder.

Anhe plucked a feather from its butt.

"Gah!"

"Okay, let's play."

Amon jumped away feeling aggrieved.

After pondering for a moment, An He put down his pen in his notebook.

Miyano Shiho looked at the detectives who had walked some distance away, and did not rush to catch up with them. Instead, she moved closer to An He, looked curiously at the contents of his notes, and then became speechless.

"You are so boring."

"It'll give them something to do." An He read silently what he had just written, and thought it was quite coherent, so he closed the notebook with satisfaction.

"Who told Conan that kid not to answer my question before?"

He gave a genuine smile.

"I wonder if he will accept this outcome?"
