Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 117: Miwako Becomes a Tool to Increase Attack Speed

The bullet flew past his cheek, scaring Haruhiko into a cold sweat.

If it was just a little bit higher, his face would become a rotten watermelon.

Haruhiko felt a little scared when he thought about this.

Fortunately, the shotgun model in the opponent's hand was not that advanced. Not only was it difficult to load the bullet, but it also seemed to be jammed.

Looking at Kondo Masaru who was so anxious that his face was red.

Haruhiko seized the opportunity without mercy and threw the broken half of sugarcane in his hand over.

The sugar cane was originally intended to hit Kondo Masaru in the face.

But the man driving the motorcycle was so loyal that he stretched his neck and used his forehead to block the attack for his boss.

As a result, the driver, who was dizzy and dazed by the collision, was forced to slow down, and the motorcycle gradually disappeared from Haruhiko's sight.

Kondo Katsu in the back seat had already loaded the bullet, but he watched helplessly as the target moved out of range, which made him so angry that he made a scene and screamed.

Haruhiko really hoped that he would lose control and kill the little brother in front of him.

That would be interesting.

However, although Kondo Katsu is no longer a threat for the time being, other Yakuza brothers are still chasing him closely.

Although they don't have guns, when the motorcycle gets close to the truck, the enemies sitting in the back will take out some throwing objects to launch long-range attacks on Haruhiko.

Perhaps due to the rush of time and insufficient preparation, the weapons thrown up were all kinds of things.

There were daggers, steel pipes, wine bottles, Snickers bars, a handful of small steel balls, a lighter, and an oxidized apple with a bite taken out of it...

Overall, the damage is not strong, but it is not to the extent that it can be completely ignored.

Haruhiko waved the sugarcane tightly.

Block the threatening attack and prevent Sato Miwako, who was unable to move behind him, from getting hurt.

At the same time, he took the time to pick up the Snickers that had fallen on the black rainproof cloth, took a bite, and threw the remaining half to Sato Miwako: "Here, replenish your energy."

Sato Miwako took it, looked at the crystal clear teeth marks on the Snickers, and said with disgust: "Who wants to eat your saliva?!"

Just then, the driver shouted, "It's coming."

The car entered the curve and slowed down.

Driven by the sudden push on her back, the half Snickers bar covered with Haruhiko's saliva was thrust hard into Miwako Sato's throat.

She choked and rolled her eyes.

After finally swallowing it, a faint blush appeared on Miwako's face, and it was unclear whether it was because of choking or shyness.

Haruhiko turned around and gave her a deep look: "If you like this kind of talk, just say it earlier."

Sato Miwako was so angry that she pulled out a piece of sugarcane from under her butt and threw it at Haruhiko.

Haruhiko dodged easily, grabbed the tail of the sugarcane, and threw it out.

The sugarcane hit the eye socket of an enemy who was driving at a faster speed than before.

The man howled in pain, and the motorcycle veered to the side of the road, finally crashing into a trash can on the side of the road with a group of people on board. The head of one of the gangsters was directly stuck in the trash can.

Haruhiko waved to Miwako and said, "Come again."

Because the sugarcane is tied with ropes, it takes some effort to pull it out.

Miwako Sato also knew that she couldn't exert much combat power due to her injured foot, so she might as well help Haruhiko deliver the "ammunition".

Miwako Sato adjusted her posture, pulled out a sugarcane from under the black rainproof cloth and threw it to Haruhiko.

Haruhiko took the sugarcane and threw it.

This time the sugarcane hit the back of an enemy's hand that was holding the handlebar, and the pain made him unable to help but let go.

The motorcycle also turned out of control and turned onto the sidewalk on the side of the road.

There happened to be a dog squatting under a telephone pole on the sidewalk taking a shit. Halfway through, it saw a motorcycle coming towards it and ran away in panic.

The Yakuza was driving a motorcycle and crashed into a telephone pole. He fell off the motorcycle and had a close contact with the pile of shit.

The dog watching on was stunned.

Haruhiko suddenly discovered that with the help of Sato Miwako, he was throwing the sugarcane faster and faster.

It's like a buff has been added.

Haruhiko suddenly glanced at the rice cooker manual and found that there was a temporary entry.

【Fatal Rhythm】

Description: With the strong trust of your female companion, your attack speed breaks through the limit and lasts for 6 seconds.

ps: It can be triggered in scenes other than battles~ (love)
Haruhiko was suddenly speechless.

What does this "yo" mean?!
There is also a pink heart symbol at the back, which makes people think of strange things!
And what the hell is strong trust?

Could it be that beneath Sato Miwako's look of disgust, she actually has such strong trust in herself?

Thinking of this, Haruhiko's gaze unconsciously fell on Sato Miwako.

Perhaps to make it easier to pull out the bundled sugarcane, Sato Miwako was half-kneeling on the black rainproof cloth.

This posture perfectly showcased her alluring curves in front of Haruhiko, and even in her pizza shop work clothes, she was able to wear it with a special charm.

No! Now isn't the time to be thinking about this, right?!
There is a group of people chasing us from behind. The most important thing now is how to escape from the enemy, right?

Really, it’s all this dishonest golden finger’s fault, Haruhiko complained in his heart.

Seeing Haruhiko standing there in a daze, Sato Miwako asked in confusion, "Are you tired? How about I take over?"

Haruhiko shook his head: "It's okay, just focus on giving me the buff."

Miwako Sato didn't know why.

Haruhiko noticed that the entry on the instruction manual had begun to flicker and gradually faded.

He quickly took the sugarcane handed to him by Sato Miwako and threw it out.

The entry then returned to its normal color.

It seems that if you want to maintain this buff, you must keep attacking without stopping for a moment, otherwise the buff will disappear.

It's actually okay in battle, but if it's in bed...

Haruhiko quickly drove this terrible thought out of his mind.

Focus on dealing with the enemy in front of you.

Because of this temporary buff, it was difficult for the Yakuza to launch an effective pursuit. During this period, Kondo Masaru approached Haruhiko several times, but was beaten back by Haruhiko's firepower.

But perhaps this guy also has an entry similar to "I'm an elite monster, how can I die so easily?" The motorcycle he was riding was always safe and sound.

In this way, the two groups chased each other.

The car also drove into the downtown area where there were many people.

This is still a coastal highway, but there are rows of restaurants on both sides of the road.

Because it is summer, there are tables with parasols outside the restaurant, so guests can enjoy the food while admiring the seaside scenery.

At this time, there are many people sitting in front of almost every restaurant. The guests are drinking coffee and chatting about light topics, enjoying the warm sunshine and salty sea breeze.

And the sudden intrusion of Haruhiko and Kondo's group.

The quiet atmosphere was broken in an instant.

...

"Okay, I got it. I'll try to get back tonight." Hasegawa Taizo hung up the phone and ate a bite of cheap soba noodles. It was indeed bland. That woman Hezi was really something. Didn't she know how difficult it was to make a living out there these days?

He even said that he would spend the evening with her to celebrate their second anniversary. Didn’t they just celebrate their anniversary last week?
He Zi always likes to do these things.

If his boss knew that he was not out looking for news but was dating a woman, he would probably be furious again, right?

It seems that I still need to be careful at night and not get photographed by my competitors in the newspaper.

At this time, the assistant sitting across the table said, "Hasegawa-senpai, can we really find any news about the serial killer here?"

Both are reporters for Modern Weekly.

This trip to Atami is to look for news material about the serial killer.

Hasegawa sipped his soba noodles and said, "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, the big news will come to you."

The assistant was obviously not in a good mood and didn't quite believe what his senior said.

Hasegawa himself didn't quite believe it. It had been a long time since he had found any big news that could spark heated social discussion.

He couldn't even produce work that satisfied the editor-in-chief, and could only fabricate gossip and groundless stories to barely keep his job.

Recently, more new people have entered the company, causing his position to become increasingly marginalized in the eyes of the editor-in-chief.

If he can't find a big news, he might be on the verge of losing his job.

When he thought of this, Hasegawa Taizo lost the mood to eat noodles and stared blankly into the distance.

suddenly.

He saw a small truck coming at the end of the road. A man was standing on the truck bed, throwing sugarcane at the gangsters behind him.

Hasegawa rubbed his eyes.

Then I realized that it was not my own illusion.

Hasegawa was startled and stood up from the stool, scaring the assistant opposite him.

Oh shit, isn’t this the big news?
Although it seems to be just a fight between yakuza, it has become so big that it is enough to attract some people's interest.

And at least this time it really happened, which is much better than the gossip he made up before.

If I take a picture of this, I can probably buy Hezi the dress she has been dreaming of for a long time, right?
Hasegawa left and picked up the camera on the table, snapping away at the van and the gang. He said hurriedly, "Hurry up and get the car over here. We should be able to capture more footage if we catch up. That's great! Luckily I brought my camera today. I wonder how much battery life is left..."

Hasegawa was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

The assistant also noticed the situation in the distance at this time, put down the bowl and ran towards the parking space like a fly.

Hasegawa Yasuzo adjusted the angle and continued taking pictures.

But because Haruhiko and his friends were driving too fast, he only managed to take a few photos before they walked away. He had no choice but to put away his camera and walk back to the parking spot.

But at this moment, the conversation between the guests at the next table caught Hasegawa's attention.

"Is that really them?" one girl said.

"That's right, even though the sister changed her clothes, I definitely won't make a mistake." The boy said firmly.

"I didn't expect that she would actually divorce her husband and be with her junior in the end." The girl sighed.

Hasegawa Taizo walked over and politely asked, "Hello, I'm a reporter from Modern Weekly. Can I interview you?"

The boy was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, of course, what do you want to ask?"

Hasegawa: "It's about the man and woman in the truck just now."

"That's fine, but we only ran into them once by chance in Tokyo."

That’s right, the couple that appeared before my eyes were the young couple that I happened to encounter in disguised investigation by Sato Miwako at the Beihua Department Store.

They also happened to be in Izu for vacation.

Hasegawa quickly wrote down the news the young couple knew in his notebook, and the more he wrote, the more excited he became.

A white-collar woman who cheated on her husband with a younger generation, divorced him, eloped, and worked as a pizza delivery driver to make a living. She accidentally offended the Yakuza and was hunted down...

A complete plot line appeared before Hasegawa Yasuzo.

He suddenly realized that there was so much to explore here.

Hasegawa felt that reporting this news would not only help Hezi buy the skirt she had longed for, but also the golf clubs she had always wanted to buy.

Even if you try hard, you can get a new car.

At this moment, the assistant drove over and said, "Senior, didn't you say to catch up?"

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Hasegawa thanked the young couple and ran to the side of the road.

But because he was too excited, he accidentally bumped into a girl.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Hasegawa said sorry, but he didn't stop. His mind was already on the golf club.

But unexpectedly the girl grabbed him.

"Hey, I haven't eaten the ice cream cone I just bought yet." The girl said with a dissatisfied look on her face.

Only then did Hasegawa notice that he had accidentally knocked the ice cream cone out of the girl's hand to the ground.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Can you use this as compensation?" Hasegawa took out two banknotes and handed them over.

The girl looked unhappy, but still took one of them: "These are enough, be more careful next time."

Hasegawa ran away with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart that this girl was really strong. She made him stagger with that blow just now. Could she be a fighter?

The girl watched Hasegawa leave.

Pick up the fallen ice cream cone and throw it in the trash can.

Then he stood there angrily, muttering to himself, "I really don't understand. I'm clearly here for a trip, so why should I accompany him to investigate a case? This unromantic guy!"

The girl became angrier the more she thought about it.

He turned around and shouted to a dark-skinned boy not far away, "Heiji! How long are you going to keep asking?"

Hattori Heiji clasped his hands together and said to the customer on the roadside: "Thank you."

Then he closed the notebook in his hand and walked up to Yuanshan Heye: "What's wrong, didn't you say you were going to buy an ice cream cone?"

"Your mind is full of the case. Didn't you notice a group of strange people just passing by?" He Ye looked dissatisfied.

Hattori Heiji put his hand on the brim of his hat and said, "I saw it. The one throwing the sugarcane in the car should be a kendo master. But I always feel that the other woman looks familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere before."

Toyama Kazuha immediately looked alert: "Where have I seen her before? Could she be your lover in Izu?"

"What are you talking about?" Hattori Heiji said speechlessly, "I came to Izu this time for serious business."

Yuanshan Heye scoffed, "It's just an investigation. The Shizuoka Prefectural Police have so many people, do they really need you to come in person?"

"Waha!" Hattori Heiji said seriously, "This time is extremely important to me!"

Hattori Heiji rarely looked so serious, which made Kazuha stunned: "Why...why?"

"Think about it. A serial killer who attacks brown-haired women, and a bomber who uses comics to announce the bomb's location—either of these is an extremely rare case, and yet this time it happened in the same place," Hattori Heiji said excitedly. "Plus, Kudo Shinichi and that guy named Kousaka Haruhiko are both in Izu this time. It's a rare opportunity to defeat both opponents at once."

A #-shaped blue vein suddenly appeared on Yuanshan Heye's forehead.

She thought this guy would say something important, but it turned out he just wanted to show off.

However, He Ye also knew that her childhood sweetheart was just like this. She sighed and said, "I'm really impressed by you, but don't forget your appointment with Xiaolan to go to the shrine."

"I know. I'm also looking forward to meeting that guy named Haruhiko Kousaka. I really want to see if he's as good as Kudo said." Hattori Heiji was eager to try.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to go get some cones. Where are we going next?"

Hattori Heiji opened his notebook and said, "Let's go to the museum. Someone said on an online forum that he witnessed a serial killer's murder scene."
