Surviving this year in the world of Conan is victory Chapter 281: Whatever you fear will come to you
September 27, Thursday.
Towards the end of the month, the Osaka Police Headquarters Investigation Division will hold a small celebration banquet. They gather together to drink some wine and eat some barbecue to celebrate the successful detection of all the cases they took over during this period.
After finishing the wine party, Fujiwara Yu didn't drink, but he was smelling strongly of barbecue. He went for a ride on his motorcycle to get rid of the smell, so he went home much later than usual.
Worried that Hattori and the others had already fallen asleep, he deliberately slowed down the sound of opening the door when he returned home.
But after pushing the door open, he found that the lights were still on in the living room. He put on his slippers and walked into the living room. He found Hattori Heizo sitting on the sofa, still wearing a shirt. He folded his hands on his chest and looked like he was concentrating with his eyes closed.
As usual, I changed into a kimono that I wear at home, and it seems that I haven't planned to wash up yet.
Could it be that Mr. Heizang stayed up so late to wait for himself?
With such doubts, Fujiwara Yu approached the sofa and asked proactively:
"Director, do you have anything to ask me about?"
"You don't need to call me this at home, just call me Mr. Heizo." Hattori Heizo stood up slowly with his hands on his knees. He walked towards the front door and said, "Follow me."
Turn left at the front door of Hattori Residence and you will reach a cherry blossom forest planted in the mansion. Except for the occasional gardener who comes here to help with pruning, usually no one comes here.
Because there is the garden of Hattori Residence on the right side of the front door. It not only has trees and ponds, but also an open space where you can practice kendo. Therefore, Fujiwara Yu didn’t know why Hattori Heizo brought him here. He couldn’t appreciate it.
Are there bare cherry blossom trees that won’t bloom until April next year?
Hattori Heizo didn't give anyone time to react. Without saying a word, he picked up the bamboo sword that he had placed on the ground and threw it at Takaji Sousuke. Without even telling his purpose, he waved the bamboo sword in his hand and struck Takaji's neck.
Fujiwara Yuu took the bamboo sword and was stunned for a second. By the time he realized it, Hattori Heizo had already rushed towards him. The conditioned reflex of practicing Iaido allowed him to easily avoid the surprise attack and pull away to a safe distance.
"What an excellent reaction ability. You are very accomplished in Iaido. You must have been taught by a very good teacher, right?" Hattori Heizo looked at Takaji Sousuke with his sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.
He could even feel that the opponent had the ability to counterattack instantly, but he just chose to conserve his strength. No, it should be said that he was letting go and hiding his strength.
Fujiwara Yuu has never been good at facing Hattori Heizo alone. It is difficult for him to hide himself in front of such an experienced and smart person. Just like now, he has definitely seen through his own strength, but he just didn't say it out loud.
But he definitely couldn't admit it at this time, so he had to pretend to be stupid and smile:
"Mr. Heizou, to tell you the truth, my hands are a little numb now... Your kendo is better, otherwise you wouldn't be able to teach a kendo genius like Heiji."
Hattori Heiji, who had already turned off the lights and was about to go to sleep, got up secretly after hearing a noise in the courtyard and ran to the window sill. He found out that his father had secretly competed with Takaji in kendo. This was great, he couldn't feel it in an instant.
I fell asleep, so I simply lay down on the window sill and started my "peeping" career.
It's just that the two of them stopped competing after watching it for a few seconds. Fortunately, Takaji Sousuke's words "A swordsman genius like Heiji" was 100% transmitted to his ears. Just hearing these words made him laugh.
Not a loss.
Hehe, Brother Yingji actually thinks I am a genius!
But Hattori Heiji's happy mood didn't last for five seconds before he was extinguished by his own father.
"If he could be called a genius, there would be no idiots in the world."
Hattori Heiji didn't have much reaction after hearing this. Anyway, he had never heard his father praise him since he was a child. He would not get the gift from her father like Kazuha if he was ranked first in the class in the exam.
.
For Heiji, no gift is fine, as long as a word of praise, he will be satisfied.
He turned around and leaned on the window sill, lowered his head and whispered:
"...Sure enough, it's like this again, every time."
Fujiwara Yu raised his eyes and noticed Hattori Heiji behind the window sill on the second floor. He originally thought it was strange that Mr. Heizou chose this place to fight, but now he understood his intention. Because the room adjacent to the cherry blossom forest was Hattori Heiji's bedroom, he deliberately
I chose this place because I wanted Heiji to observe their competition.
As for why he said such words, it was simply because he hoped that Heiji would get rid of his bad habit of being impetuous at times. Heiji would get angry for a long time every time he was praised. If he was too angry, he would suffer sooner or later.
Hattori Heizo clenched the bamboo sword in his hand, and naturally he heard someone's not-so-soft whisper. He raised his fingers towards Takaji Sosuke and said in a calm tone:
"continue."
"Happy to accompany you."
After the competition between the two lasted for a period of time, Fujiwara Yu clearly noticed that the intensity of Hattori Heizo's attack had decreased. He himself had an advantage in physical fitness and age, and he habitually used the power of wind to make his breathing difficult.
Being more stable and significantly reducing fatigue will naturally allow him to maintain more physical energy. With the dual advantages, Hattori Heizo will naturally suffer a big loss.
Naturally, Fujiwara Yuu would not choose to outperform Hattori Heizo. He quickly showed off his not bad acting skills, waited for the opponent to attack again, then staggered and fell to the ground with his hands raised in surrender:
"Huh... Mr. Heizang, let's just... compete here? I really can't compete!"
Hattori Heizo put down the bamboo sword that was pressed against Takaji Sosuke's throat, and his eyes fell on the handsome face without even a drop of sweat. If he couldn't tell that this was a deliberate act, he wouldn't be the head of the headquarters.
But he was still happy to cooperate and did not criticize Takashi's acting skills:
"Well, let's stop here today."
Snap, snap, snap.
Sudden applause sounded from the side, and the man who came out from behind the cherry blossom tree smiled and contributed his own applause:
"Heizo, can you feel free to let Takashi-kun go alone now?"
"Minister Toyama? Why are you here?"
Fujiwara Yu rarely showed a surprised expression. He suddenly felt that this competition was a bit complicated. From Toyama Ginshiro's words, it was not difficult to hear that they seemed to plan to arrange where they should go.
Why do I have an ominous premonition...I hope it's my illusion.
Toyama Ginjiro took out a white envelope from his suit. He walked up to Takaji Sousuke with a smile and handed it out. He raised his eyebrows and motioned for Takaji to open it. As long as he opened it, he would know the reason why he was here.
The strong ominous premonition made Fujiwara Yu not want to open it at all, but under the gaze of his two bosses, he had no choice but to take out the folded white paper inside. When he opened it, it turned out to be a threatening letter.
