I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Although Ayanokouji Fumitaka was somewhat unhappy about these people using police resources.

However, as an elite officer of the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters, he did not do anything else. He simply made a note of it and then notified the officers in other areas who were checking surveillance footage and interviewing nearby citizens to evacuate.

As soon as the squirrel-like police officer left, Kozo Umehara's expression changed.

As the saying goes, one may be spared the death penalty, but cannot escape punishment.

If you treat me like this, you're definitely not getting paid for today.

However, the idea is not bad. From now on, we will not sell the chocolate-flavored Kyoto Bird on this day every year to commemorate the death anniversary of the old president. This will also make it easier to announce to the public in advance.

This matter was dropped by Umehara Kozo in a way that made a lot of noise but had little effect.

Finally, the two pastry chefs said that, as a token of their gratitude, they would specially make chocolate-flavored Kyoto Birds for Ran Mouri and the other customers, and asked them to wait here for a while.

Then, Kozo Umehara led the two pastry chefs toward the workshop.

While waiting, Sonoko Suzuki also noticed the middle school student next to Chen En who was holding an empty sword sheath.

She touched her chin and asked curiously.

"Ah, whose child is this?"

"Is he a friend of your relative in Kyoto Prefecture?"

Tie Zhuyu, who had been inexplicably tugged, looked up with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

You look like you're less than two years older than me.

Don't talk like an adult here!

It would have been better if the topic hadn't been brought up, but as soon as the matter of Tetsuyu was mentioned, Hattori Heiji immediately thought of Okita Souji from Izumi High School and his fiancée, whose background was unknown.

He nervously rubbed the amulet he was wearing with his fingers.

This is really too strange.

He never imagined that he would suddenly have such a fiancée.

I wanted to ask Chen En, but I was too embarrassed to ask in front of so many people. Perhaps Kazuha, my childhood friend, would know something, but asking Kazuha this question would be suicide.

Although he is a famous detective in high school, his emotional intelligence is relatively low.

But that's only to some extent; it's not as bad as some pieces of wood.

Hattori Heiji was pondering when to find a reason to meet Chen En alone and ask him what was going on with that so-called fiancée, but he only heard Chen En calmly answer Suzuki Sonoko.

"Didn't I say before that I was going to visit Okita Souji from Izumi High School?"

"This is equivalent to Okita Souji's younger sister."

“I ran into them at Izumi High School, so I brought them here to buy some food. Besides that, I also plan to talk to her mother… Uncle Jirokichi should have mentioned that traveler Yamato to you in Tokyo, right?”

"That traveler Yamato was a friend of this man's father, Tetsuken Juro."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

My uncle has been traveling around for the past ten years, never coming home.

I've met quite a few travelers.

Even without mentioning the traveler named Yamato, Chen En already knew who Tetsuken Juro was.

Thinking of this, Sonoko Suzuki casually ruffled Tetsuya's hair.

"Oh, I see~ What's your name?"

Tie Zhuyu: ?

She looked up and stared at Sonoko Suzuki for a while, but the oblivious Sonoko Suzuki didn't realize what the subject meant at all, and her hand that was touching her head didn't even stop.

Tie Zhuyu had absolutely no way of dealing with this kind of overly friendly girl.

I had no choice but to speak directly.

"My name is Tie Zhuyu, a third-year student at Quanxin Middle School."

Are you a third-year junior high school student?

Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama also turned their attention to Tetsuya.

Heiji Hattori would occasionally encounter Tetsuroha, who was visiting Okita Souji to learn kendo, because he would challenge Okita Souji to a duel every now and then. However, Kazuha Toyama had not met Tetsuroha many times.

She was completely unfamiliar with this person, so she found it all quite novel.

Ran Mouri was simply concerned about her younger schoolmate.

Seeing that Tetsuyu was being treated like a rare and precious animal by Ran Mouri, Kazuha Toyama, and Sonoko Suzuki, Heiji Hattori's eyes lit up, realizing that this was a golden opportunity.

The attention of the three high school girls has now completely shifted to Tetsuyu.

If he invites Chen En out for a chat now, no one else should notice.

However, just as Hattori Heiji was about to make a move, Mori Kogoro suddenly put his arm around Hattori Heiji's shoulder.

Hattori Heiji was taken aback and turned to look at Mouri Kogoro.

The sleeping detective picked up the three or four bottles of Kyoto sake he had bought earlier and said loudly.

"Hey, Hattori, I remember you seem to really like drinking, right?"

"That brat Chen En doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, he's so boring. I just happened to buy so many good wines, let's find a place to drink and admire the cherry blossoms that are currently in bloom... Coming to Kyoto is all about cherry blossoms, and drinking wine is what makes it so classic!"

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji immediately smirked.

While it's true that I do drink, please don't ask me to drink at this time.

Hey, hey, hey, there's a time and place for drinking too.

And what's the point of admiring cherry blossoms?

Why didn't I see you being such a cultured person when we were in Tokyo?

Don't suddenly become a completely different person once you arrive in Kyoto Prefecture!

Heiji Hattori intended to refuse.

However, everyone's attention had already shifted to Kogoro Mouri and Heiji Hattori, and even Chen En calmly turned around with his coffee for the two guests.

The Night Knight from Beika Town took a sip of his coffee and then spoke.

"If you want to drink, I won't stop you."

"However, I suggest you find a less crowded place, otherwise I think what you're doing will be very embarrassing... it might even make the Kyoto Prefecture newspapers tomorrow."

"Two famous detectives drinking, admiring cherry blossoms, and causing trouble, or something like that."

Hattori Heiji, Mori Kogoro:?

Why are you saying this, as if we have terrible drinking manners?

Don't confuse me with that guy!

Seeing his plan to call Chen En out for a chat fall apart, Hattori Heiji, as if giving up, picked up a bottle of Kyoto sake, sighed, and said...

"In that case, alright, uncle, let's go."

"Let's find a place to admire the cherry blossoms and have some drinks. I've got something bothering me too."

Kogoro Mouri immediately gave him a thumbs up.

Okay, that's the kind of straightforward enthusiasm I wanted.

What's the point of living if you don't drink alcohol?

Happy times are about to begin again!

However, Kogoro Mouri and Heiji Hattori had just left the house arm in arm.

Another taxi quietly appeared in front of the store.

Chapter 1266 The Intimidating Trio

Some time after Chen En and his group's taxi arrived at the store entrance.

Another taxi came chasing after them.

At that moment, the taxi door was pushed open, and the person who got out was the last person Hattori Heiji wanted to see.

Okita Souji, Ooka Momiji, and Iori Muga.

These three should have been fighting at the entrance of the kendo department of Quanxin High School.

But as the saying goes, you don't know someone until you fight them.

Another saying goes, "Painful conditions lead to change."

Even though Okita Souji was wielding just an ordinary bamboo sword broken in two, he was able to whip Iori Muga so hard that he spun like a top, ultimately forcing Iori Muga to confess the relationship between Ooka Momiji and Hattori Heiji.

Originally, Okita Souji had said he would try to buy some time for Hattori Heiji.

To prevent Ooka Momiji from causing trouble for Hattori Heiji.

When Iori heard from Ooka Momiji that Ooka Momiji was Hattori Heiji's fiancée and that the two had been engaged since childhood, Okita Souji was shocked for a hundred years.

He never imagined that Hattori Heiji, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would betray the four swordsmen.

You know, none of the four of them—Okita Souji, Hattori Heiji, Onimaru Takeshi, and Fukushiro Sei—were in a relationship. So how come Hattori Heiji now has a fiancée?

This guy was just pretending to be humiliated by Ooka Momiji and running away from the door.

So this unfaithful man set me up?

You can't exactly tell me something like, "She claims to be your fiancée, and you two even pledged your lives to each other when you were kids, and you don't even recognize her now that you're all grown up." Do you think I, Okita Souji, would believe that kind of nonsense?

And it ruined my plans...

Okita Souji had originally planned to practice kendo with Tetsuro Yu at the kendo club for a while.

Now that Hattori Heiji has interfered, Tetsuyu has gone with Chen En. It's estimated that when he sees Aunt Michiko, he won't be able to go back to the kendo club to continue practicing.
