Conan: The Heart Thief

Then, the magic puppet sword ghost used the clever pseudo-Tengu copy, and sword energy and ice ran wildly.

However, with her excellent physical fitness and skills, Mao Lilan skillfully shuttled between sword energy and ice, looking for flaws in the magic sword ghost.

Because the Magic Sword Demon was too bulky, all of its attacks were dodged by Mouri Ran. The Magic Sword Demon lost his patience and used the Evil Mask Car, which had masks coming from all directions, to crash into Mouri Ran.

Mao Lilan saw that the core of the puppet sword ghost was exposed due to the attack. She used all her strength to raise the long spear high, and then Dou Po Cang Qiong, a dazzling sacred light instantly penetrated the ghost mask of the puppet sword ghost, along with its body.

With a roar and explosion, the huge body of the Demon Sword Ghost fell to the ground with a bang, turning into a pile of scrap metal and scattered elemental crystals...

As the puppet sword demon disintegrated, Otegawa Jun's mental palace began to collapse, and Mao Li Ran returned to reality.

At the critical moment, the blade in Otegawa Shun's hand stopped along Hattori Heiji's forehead!

Hattori Heiji was so scared that he was sweating profusely, and Toyama Kazuha was also worried about her childhood sweetheart.

Otegawa Jun threw away the blade in his hand, knelt down, and confessed with tears in his eyes.

When everyone focused their attention on Hattori Heiji and Otegawa Shun, Conan shifted his attention elsewhere.

"that is……"

Conan rolled over and picked up a business card.

It was printed with - The Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

"This card is..."

Conan enters the Hall of Memory. This skill is a unique skill of Sherlock Holmes. It can restore the memory in all directions and perceive every detail in the memory.

Although Conan cannot use this skill as arbitrarily as Sherlock Holmes, having 30% of its power is enough.

Conan entered the Hall of Memory and restored the memory of rushing to the gymnasium warehouse. Then he saw Mouri Ran and threw out his business card.

"Ran is the Phantom Thief of Hearts!"

There are rumors about the Phantom Thief of Hearts on the Internet. It is said that after a criminal's heart is stolen by the Phantom Thief of Hearts, he will turn over a new leaf and become a good person. This rumor is not very popular, and Conan just laughed it off as a strange story, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Chapter 215 Yuanshan Heye: Aunt Jinghua, are you suffering from heatstroke?

After the case was over, the three spectators returned to the audience seats, and Hattori Heiji, the general of Kaikata High School, officially came on stage.

At this time, Hattori Shizuka no longer had the heart to watch the game. The hem of her kimono was soaked by water stains, and some part of it was also wet.

"Huh? Aunt Jinghua, you don't look well. There's so much sweat on your forehead... Could it be... you have heatstroke?" Yuanshan Heye felt worried when she saw her beloved Aunt Jinghua.

Lin Xiao said, "Miss Yuanshan, don't worry. Aunt Jinghua is fine. She's just sweating. Maybe it's because the gym is too hot..."

"Eh? Is that so?" Yuanshan Heye looked at Lin Xiao across Xiaolan in confusion.

"Yes. I've been here all the time." Lin Xiao was confident.

Conan and Xiaolan, who were on Lin Xiao's left and right, looked at Lin Xiao, each with their own thoughts.

Hattori Shizuka also cheered up, forced out a dignified smile, and said to Kazuha, "Kazuha, I'm fine, just focus on watching Heiji's game."

Yuanshan Heye said "Oh", and then said: "Aunt Jinghua, do you think Heiji can win against Okita Souji again this time?"

"I don't know either... Although Heiji claims to have swept through the Osaka Metropolitan Police Office, the people in the Osaka Metropolitan Police Office are most likely letting him go on purpose for Heizo's sake."

No one knows a son better than his mother. Hattori Shizuka knows her son well, whether it is kendo or reasoning, he is only half-baked. In fact, it is true that in kendo, Okita Souji can't handle it, let alone the two siblings, Tetsuken Zhu and Tetsuken. As for reasoning, there is a big gap between him and Kudo Shinichi, and he is probably at the level of Furuya Rei, the disciple of Mori Kogoro.

The Kendo team competition is a five-person competition, divided into the vanguard, the second vanguard, the middle, the deputy general, and the general! The team that wins three games first will be the champion.

Hattori Heiji and Okita are the generals of Kaikata High School and Izumishin High School respectively, and are the last characters to appear in the competition.

Both of them stood with their hands behind their chests, looking at each other from a distance outside the field, pretending to be masters, while the four people inside the field took turns to play!

Lin Xiao yawned, feeling quite bored. He enjoyed the time he had just spent alone with Hattori Shizuka.

As time passed, the dojo's Kaikata High School and Izumi Shin High School finally fought to the last match, and the time for the two generals to fight had arrived.

The results of the first four games were 2-2. The last round was the deciding game and the second contest between Hattori and Okita.

The atmosphere in the gymnasium gradually became more intense, and students from Kaikata High School and Izumishin High School began to cheer one by one.

Hattori Heiji, wearing black protective gear and a kendo uniform, came on the field and confronted the grand prize winner Okita Souji.

Eager to win, Hattori Heiji attacked first, and the two of them immediately engaged in a fierce confrontation.

Hattori Heiji continued to attack with a wooden sword, shouting loudly and waving the wooden sword in his hand like the wind.

Okita's sword slashed out like a pear blossom in a rainstorm. The two sides fought fiercely, neither of them could do anything.

Okita is indeed a master of kendo, and the sword in his hand can always block Hattori Heiji's attacks.

Hattori Heiji was breathing heavily, sweat dripping under his mask.

"Okita, is this all you have? Last year, your Five-Section Slash only managed to hit the back of my ear and you were lucky enough to win. After hard training, I have already surpassed your Five-Section Slash. This time, I will let you taste my full strength!"

Hattori Heiji's blood boiled, and his strength increased in an instant. He kicked his legs and ran two steps at a time, with the wooden sword in his hand tumbling continuously!

He suddenly jumped up, the sword flashed, and he performed seven consecutive slashes! He aimed at Okita's armpits, ribs, waist, calves, soles of feet, right shoulder, and neck respectively.

Okita, who had been calm and composed at first, was stunned by the sudden outburst of Hattori Heiji. He was caught off guard and blocked five cuts in a row, but was too late to block the last two!

After the wooden sword hit Okita's right shoulder from above, his neck was exposed. The wooden sword bounced up and hit Okita hard behind the ear, knocking him to the ground in an instant!

Just like the ending of Hattori Heiji a year ago, Okita's ear was bleeding profusely, and the match doctor on the side quickly stopped the match.

The referee ruled that Hattori Heiji won!

Okita, filled with anger, lifted his hood and cursed "despicable!"

But this was met with a smug laugh from Hattori Heiji: "I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine. Okita-kun, go back and practice well, and challenge me again in the future, hahahaha!"

Hattori Heiji, who won the kendo tournament, naturally received cheers from the audience.

But when he turned his head and looked up at the audience, he didn't see the scene he wanted to see.

Lin Xiao, Mao Li Ran, Toyama Kazuha, and Hattori Shizuka were all thinking about their own things. Although they were all watching the game, they were all absent-minded. Only Conan stood on the chair excitedly, applauding and cheering for him.

Seeing this scene, he smiled. It was enough for Conan to cheer for him. Conan alone was better than countless people in the world.

……

In the evening, everyone gathered at the Hattori family and held a celebration banquet to celebrate Hattori Heiji's winning the Kansai Kendo High School League championship.

The protagonist, Hattori Heiji, was so proud and laughing that he forgot everything else.

However...his childhood sweetheart Toyama Kazuha always had a poker face and a lukewarm attitude, which made Hattori Heiji feel very disappointed.

"Kazuha, what's wrong with you?" Hattori Heiji couldn't help but ask. After all, Toyama Kazuha was a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, and he still cared about her very much.

Toyama Kazuha poured a bucket of cold water on Hattori Heiji: "Heiji, you almost scared me to death today, do you know that?"

"Ah... you mean..." Hattori Heiji recalled how he was almost cut in half by someone, and he was also scared. "Wakaba, at a time like this, don't bring up something that will spoil the fun."

Conan interrupted: "But it was really strange at the time. Why did the murderer suddenly become a different person, stop committing crimes, and confess his crimes on his own initiative?"

Hattori Heiji survived the disaster and was unwilling to think about the terrible memories. Now that he thinks about it, it is indeed very strange.

"Could it be that... at the critical moment, the murderer was moved by my detective soul?"

"Not at all!"

Conan said, taking out a business card and placing it on the table: "This is the business card I found at the scene."

Everyone looked over curiously and saw the words "Phantom Thieves of Hearts" printed on the business card, just five simple words and nothing else.

"what!"

Seeing this, Mao Lilan couldn't help but scream. She never thought that this business card was picked up by Conan.

Conan naturally noticed the panic of Ran Mouri.

Conan knew that Mao Lilan didn't trust him, so he thought of using a warning to scare Mao Lilan into revealing the truth. As a famous detective, nothing is more important than investigating the truth.

Chapter 216 Jinghua puts on Xiaolan's school uniform

Mao Lilan looked at Lin Xiao for help, but Lin Xiao just shook his head at her with a calm expression. His meaning was very clear, he wanted her to play dumb.

After getting Lin Xiao's response, Mao Lilan immediately became smart: "This is just a business card that some classmate casually threw on the ground. There's nothing to be surprised about. Only a kid like you, Conan, would care about it."

Conan looked at Mouri Ran in surprise. Mouri Ran lied without blushing or being nervous. Is this still the simple angel Ran he knew?

"Sister Xiaolan, you are wrong. This is not a prank."

Mao Lilan glared at Conan and said sternly: "Conan, are you lecturing an adult?"

"no……"

Toyama Kazuha stood on the side of Mao Lilan: "Ran, children just like to pay attention to strange things. You don't have to take it to heart and argue with Conan."

"Yeah! You're right, Kazuha!"

After getting the support of Toyama Kazuha, Mao Lilan made a face at Conan.

Hattori Heiji did raise an objection: "I agree with Conan. I think the business card is suspicious."

Lin Xiao looked at Hattori Heiji with interest and asked, "Hattori-kun, this is just a business card, how can it be suspicious?"

"In fact, this kind of business card has been circulated on the Internet before, and some even have words written on the back... and so on. The criminals' bad intentions were stolen..."

“It’s just a joke to attract traffic.”

"I don't think it's that simple."

Having said that, Hattori Heiji couldn't explain it.

However, when Shizuka Hattori saw her son standing with Conan and even opposing his childhood sweetheart Toyama Kazuha, she was very unhappy and said angrily: "Heiji, why are you as childish as Conan? Kazuha said it was a prank, why did you go against Kazuha?"

"Mom, I'm just talking about the facts. I'm not contradicting He Ye."

"You are."

Hattori Shizuka was very angry. Her son didn't like playing with such a cute girl like Toyama Kazuha, but instead liked to play with a little boy.

"Mom, you wronged me."

Although it was suggested that Heiji prefers playing with Conan, he was really speaking the truth and was not deliberately going against his childhood sweetheart.

"Okay, okay, let's stop here and don't continue this topic..." Lin Xiao said.

"Yeah." Xiaolan glared at Conan, "It's all your fault. You're just a kid, you don't know anything, and you just speak without thinking."
