Chapter 569 Why did the murderer want to kill Hattori Heiji?
After enjoying lunch, which was not afternoon tea, the three of them rushed to the last stop, Kurama Temple.
When he came to Kyoto before, he didn't have time to go sightseeing, but Fujiwara Yu was quite happy to accompany them around here. If he knew that these two people called him here for travel, he would definitely bring Akemi with him.
After all, the cherry blossoms in Kyoto are very beautiful. Walking on this suburban forest path and breathing in the fresh air is quite pleasant, and it can relieve the fatigue caused by the recent high-intensity cases.
"That's the west gate of Kurama Temple over there. Most people enter through the Nio Gate, but it's closer if we go here." Hattori Heiji obviously knows Kyoto very well. After all, he has come here more than once to find his first love in his memory.
Fujiwara Yu looked at the sign at the three-way intersection and noticed that there was Kifune Shrine a hundred meters away. He thought about it and said that he would go to the shrine first and meet them later.
Edogawa Conan narrowed his eyes and looked at Takaji Sousuke who was walking away, and complained:
"Hey, Hattori, do you think Brother Takaji went to the shrine to get rid of his bad luck? I heard that when he was working at the Osaka Police Headquarters, there were cases to be investigated almost every day?"
"Kudo, are you embarrassed to accuse others?" Hattori Heiji looked at the guy who had no self-awareness speechlessly, clasped his fingers and said: "Last month, the number of cases you solved was almost twice that of mine. I really don't know how you met.
After seeing so many cases, I instantly felt that Osaka was very peaceful!"
"Uh, is that so?" Edogawa Conan looked at the direction Takaji Sosuke left, frowned and reflected, thinking whether he should be superstitious for a while and go to the shrine to get rid of bad luck.
Fujiwara Yu, who had arrived at Kifune Shrine, calmly followed the procedures for visiting the shrine. The last time he came to the shrine to pay homage was seven years ago. He took out the royal guard given to him by Miyano Akemi, and he has kept it with him all these years.
, I’m afraid it’s the power brought by Yushou that allows him to save himself from danger time and time again.
He clasped his hands together. Even though he didn't believe that visiting the shrine could really remove bad luck, he still gave it a try and said silently in his mind: I hope that during the vacation period in the future, I won't encounter a case, don't encounter a case, don't encounter a case.
Well, saying it three times should be sincere enough.
Fujiwara Yu stuffed the royal guard back into the inner pocket of his suit. He walked along the path inside. It wasn't until he reached the end that he saw the two people standing in front of Monokamidani Fudodo, surrounded by tall cedar trees.
, but it completely covered up the sunset and dusk.
He put his hands in his pockets and walked in their direction, but after taking a few steps, he heard a familiar voice.
Is this... the sound of a bow being drawn?
The slight sound made Fujiwara Yuu instantly alert. He took two steps back and looked up. Sure enough, there was a man standing on a thick branch. He was holding a bow and arrow and aiming at Hattori Heiji, who was standing with his back to him.
Fujiwara Yu hurriedly shouted without thinking:
"Hattori, don't stand there and run!!"
Hearing Takaji Sousuke's shout, Hattori Heiji quickly turned around and noticed the man holding a bow and arrow in the tree. He quickly picked up Conan and rolled it sideways, with the arrow stably inserted into the place where he was standing before.
This guy's target...is me?
Hattori Heiji thought he had not offended anyone recently. Seeing that Takaji Sosuke had already chased the escaped mysterious man, he and Conan ran in the direction they left.
"Hey, Hattori, could that guy be the murderer of this serial murder case?!"
"I think so too, but why did that guy attack you? You have absolutely nothing to do with the thieves group!" Conan Edogawa frowned, not understanding the murderer's purpose at all.
Also incomprehensible was Fujiwara Yu who was chasing the murderer. He didn't understand why the murderer would attack Hattori. Even if he wanted to stop the detective investigating the case, shouldn't he attack himself as a policeman first?
He was about to catch up, but unexpectedly the guy got on the motorcycle directly.
"Damn it!"
Fujiwara Yu walked to the direction he left. It was not possible for his rented vehicle to travel there. If he had known this, he should have rented a motorcycle.
"Brother Takaji! Where is that guy?" Hattori Heiji, who arrived late, asked.
Fujiwara Yu sat on the hood of the car unhappily, loosened his tie and said:
"I ran away on a motorcycle. There was no way the car could catch up, so I simply gave up."
"Brother Takaji, do you have any ideas about this murderer? Why did he want to kill Hattori?" Edogawa Conan asked with some worry. He was worried that the murderer would continue to look for opportunities. You must know that hidden arrows are difficult to guard against, and you can avoid this.
Once, I don’t know if my luck will be so good next time.
"I don't have any clue." Fujiwara Yu opened the car door, glanced at the gradually darkening sky, and said in a deep voice: "Don't think about this now, find a place to rest for a while, I think the murderer will attack again."
"Then go find Heye and the others. You can drive them."
"Well, let's go."
After driving to the agreed place, Mao Lilan was very surprised when she saw that the person sitting in the car with the window rolled down was Sosuke Takaji:
"Eh? Officer Eagle, why are you here?"
"It's been a long time, Miss Mori. I'm here to investigate the thief group Genji Hotaru. Everyone, please get in the car. What do you want to eat for dinner?" Fujiwara Yu nodded politely to a few people, and was a little surprised by the second lady of the Suzuki Consortium, Suzuki Sonoko.
I even came to Kyoto to play. As expected, children from wealthy families have a lot of free time and will unconditionally choose to travel during the holidays.
Hearing these words, Mao Lilan sighed helplessly, thinking of her father who had not been able to live up to expectations because of her mother's failure to come home, and said:
"Then please, Inspector Taka, please take us to Pontocho. There is a teahouse called 'Sakuraya' over there."
"Hmm? Tea house?"
"Yes, I want to keep an eye on my dad." Mao Lilan said with some embarrassment.
Knowing the hobbies of a certain bad detective, Fujiwara Yu didn't want to embarrass Xiaolan. He pretended not to understand, smiled and nodded and invited them to get in the car. After positioning the car navigation system to the tea house, he rushed directly to Pontocho.
Hattori Heiji, who was so impressed, also started his motorcycle and followed closely behind him. He couldn't help but ask:
"Kudo, why doesn't that unreliable uncle get a divorce? He likes to have fun so much. Shouldn't he be single after the divorce? Can he be free and unrestrained?"
"Hehe, that uncle is just talking nonsense. If something happens to him, he can run faster than a rabbit." Edogawa Conan stared at his half-moon eyes. To put it bluntly, he was duplicity. He obviously cared about his concubine, Auntie Yingli, but he
Pretending to be annoying, this couple is really arrogant to the core.
"Huh? Is that so?"
"Yeah, maybe it's just their taste to maintain the status quo." Edogawa Conan thought of what happened after he woke up one night and found that Mouri Kogoro was not sleeping in the bedroom, and said with a bad smile: "They are still very loving as a couple, but they don't
