Chapter 224 Controlled Experiment
The mountain path is not short, and the relative height alone is about thirty meters.

The steps along the way were covered with thick fallen leaves, and every step made a crisp clicking sound. The feeling of stepping on them was quite relaxing.

It took them a lot of effort just to climb the mountain.

From time to time, the ethereal sound of birds can be heard in the mountains, some of which sound like crows, but not as hoarse and much more melodious.

The destination of this trip is not the top of the mountain. If they head towards the top of the mountain, they probably won’t be able to finish the climb before dark.

Just halfway up the mountain, they saw their destination.

"This is Sengjodani Fudo-do." Hattori Heiji's tour guide job was obviously not very good, and he just said this dry sentence as the introduction.

Instead, An He used his mobile phone to look up the information on Yahoo.

"It is said that Ushiwakamaru once met a Tengu here and learned military tactics from it."

He suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a legend about "Mist Tengu" in a remote temple in the original plot, but it seemed to be just a legend, and behind it was a bizarre murder case created by humans.

"Does Tengu really have a long nose and a big red face like the legend says?" Hattori Heiji was a little curious.

Conan picked up the water he had bought earlier and gulped it down. Hearing this, he looked at his little friend with caring eyes.

"That's just a myth created by people, okay? Besides, it's still unclear whether Tengu really exists."

"You have to have some imagination." Hattori Heiji didn't care much, "Anyway, I won't be surprised by anything that happens in this world."

"But this place is quite suitable for practicing swordsmanship." He walked around the woods surrounding Fudo Hall.

The surrounding area is full of tall and sturdy fir trees, and the bright yellow sunset shines into the forest through the gaps between the layers of leaves.

"If you look closely, these trees are really a bit scary big." Hattori Heiji reached out and touched an old cedar tree that was so thick that it took three people to hug it, and was quite amazed.

Just as he was sighing like this, a dark shadow appeared on the branch of a tree not far away, hiding its body under the dense leaves, with a longbow in its hand.

The string and the bow look like a full moon.

"Hattori, lower your head!!"

Conan happened to be facing this direction, and with the unique vision of a child he saw this scene and shouted anxiously.

The situation was too urgent. Even if he wanted to use his foot-strengthening shoes to interfere with the archer, he would have to squat down and adjust the knob, and then find something to kick. By the time he finished this set of actions, the archer would have completed his sneak attack and run away.

But the reminder worked, and Hattori Heiji subconsciously lowered his head and did as he was told out of trust in Conan, thus dodging an arrow that was aimed at the place where his head was originally.

Benedict! !

The sharp arrow head pierced into the tree trunk several inches deep. The feathers at the tail of the arrow trembled slightly, reflecting the speed of the arrow.

Hattori Heiji immediately broke out in a cold sweat and felt a sense of "fear". He immediately hid behind a tree and used the reflection of the watch dial to observe the direction from which the arrow came.

As soon as the attack came, An Heye pulled Miyano Shiho behind a tree to minimize their presence.

It was a figure shrouded in sportswear and a motorcycle cap on his head, making it impossible to see his appearance.

Seeing that Hattori Heiji reacted and dodged the arrow, the man quickly put away the bow, carried it on his back, jumped down the slope behind, using the fallen leaves on the ground as a cushion, and soon ran a long distance.

"Don't run!!"

Hattori Heiji immediately took action and chased after him.

Conan jumped up and pulled out the arrow nailed to the tree. This thing was related to the attacker, so he could take it back for divination, and maybe he would get something.

Then he followed Hattori Heiji's footsteps and chased out.

Only then did Anhe bring Miyano Shiho out from behind the tree.

"These two are as energetic as ever," he couldn't help but sigh.

"What if they really get into danger?" asked Miyano Shiho.

"How can Feifan be such an inconvenient thing?"

An He chuckled and raised the notebook in his hand, "The ending has already been written."

[As an important member of the 'Genji Hotaru' and also the murderer who cruelly killed other members, 'Benkei' has always coveted the Buddha statue they stole eight years ago, but because the leader 'Yoshitsune' died a few months ago, the location of the hidden Buddha statue is no longer known. ]

[In order to find the location of the Buddha statue, he risked exposing himself and sent the drawing with the code to Sannoji Temple, so that they would commission a detective to crack the code. In order to achieve his goal, he had a lot of patience, but halfway through, he accidentally saw an interview in a magazine. The photo in the interview was of an Osaka boy holding a white gem and grinning. ]

['Benkei' quickly recognized that the pearl was the one that they accidentally dropped when they stole the Medicine Buddha statue. The 'white hair' on the Buddha's forehead quickly made him feel hot inside. The Medicine Buddha statue without the white hair would depreciate a lot. If he could get the white hair back, he would be able to get more money when he sold it! ]

[So after a secret investigation, he learned that this high school detective would come to Kyoto at this time every year to look for his "first love", so "Benkei" began to think about killing people and stealing treasures, which was very reasonable.]

There is no need to say how thrilling the chase between Hattori Heiji and Conan over "Kuro" was. At least after getting rid of these two young plague gods, Miyano Shiho and Yasuwa's trip to Kyoto can be more leisurely.

After getting off Kurama Temple, the two headed for the Kinkakuji Temple that Miyano Shiho had been dreaming about. As a result, they ran into another group of people on the road.

"Isn't this Shiho and Yasuhiro?" Suzuki Sonoko exclaimed in surprise, "You all came to Kyoto for your honeymoon?"

Mao Lilan tugged at her best friend's sleeve, signaling her to hold back: "Shiho and Mr. Yasuwa haven't gotten married yet, so how can it be a honeymoon?"

"Yeah." Yuanshan Heye simply echoed from behind: "I think they are here for a date."

An He: “.”

Miyano Shiho: “.”

Are you guys doing group crosstalk here?

"Why are you here too?" Miyano Shiho felt a little tired, but they were all good friends, and she was very happy to see Sonoko and the others.

Just not today would be better.

"Lan's father received a commission from here, and I happened to have nothing to do, so I came along." Suzuki Sonoko looked very happy, "Since the uncles are going to do business, we can just treat it as a trip to Kyoto."

"As for Kazuha." Suzuki Sonoko paused when talking about her other best friend, and looked back at Kazuha. "I don't know why, but she doesn't seem to be in a good mood, and I didn't see Hattori with her."

When Miyano Shiho heard this, she understood why Kazuha was in a bad mood: "Maybe I know something."

"You want to see Hattori's 'first love', right Kazuha?"

"what?!"

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan were both shocked.

"First love?!"

"Is that Hattori brat so outrageous? Kazuha has always been by his side, how could he have another first love?!"

Mao Lilan laughed dryly and pulled Suzuki Sonoko, who was already rolling up her sleeves: "Let's first figure out the cause and effect of the matter, in case there is any misunderstanding?"

"What other misunderstanding could there be?" Suzuki Sonoko said angrily, pulling Toyama Kazuha's hand and walking to the street, "Let's find a coffee shop to sort this out. If it doesn't work, you can call him and I'll tell him!"

Yuanshan and Ye were dragged away, feeling a little confused.

Isn't this just a personal matter that bothers me? Why does it suddenly feel like a national issue that needs to be discussed in a meeting?

Are the participants such heavyweights as the daughters of top chaebols and academic giants?

In the end, everyone was dragged by Suzuki Sonoko to a cafe and began to "torture" Toyama Kazuha.

"Magazine interview report?" Mao Lilan leaned forward slightly, almost crossing the table of the coffee shop booth and leaning in front of Yuanshan Heye, her eyes gradually filled with the desire for knowledge.

“Your strawberry parfait.”

The waiter brought the plates and put down everyone's dessert.

Maybe it was the dopamine effect brought by the dessert, or the soothing music in the store, but after Yuanshan Heye sat down, she slowly opened up and began to want to talk.

"That's right." She took out a booklet from her small bag. It was a magazine publication that was very popular in Kansai.

She placed it on the table and pushed it towards them.

After much persuasion from Miyano Shiho, An He rarely allowed her to order a cup of coffee, and then looked up at the magazine.

At first glance, it looks quite impressive, with the words "Naniwa High School Detective" written at the top of the cover, followed by a photo that takes up half of the page.

In the photo, Hattori Heiji has his hands in his pockets, wearing that familiar baseball cap, with a confident smile on his face.

"I remember in the interview, he was asked about his first love, and he said it was a girl who was slightly older than him when he met her in the third grade of elementary school."

There was an indelible cloud of sorrow between Yuanshan Heye's brows, and even the sweetness of strawberry parfait could not ease her frown.

She flipped open the magazine and pointed to a certain page: "He also took out a keepsake that was said to be related to her, and even asked reporters to take a photo!"

Where her finger was was the photo of Hattori Heiji holding the small white bead. The boy in the photo had an expectant look on his face.

"See, I told you this situation would happen." Miyano Shiho leaned close to Anhe's ear and whispered.

Anhe couldn't help but have a strange look on his face and mourned in silence for Hattori Heiji's pig-brained character.

He also moved closer to Miyano Shiho, his brown hair exuding a unique blueberry scent.

"In fact, Hattori's first love is Kazuha." He finally told Miyano Shiho about this embarrassing misunderstanding.

Miyano Shiho was stunned for a moment, and then her expression became very interesting.
