This was not the first time he came to Teramachi Road. Fujiwara Yu found the bookstore run by Saijo Taiga easily. However, judging from the external situation, the bookstore was not open. Did he not return here after leaving Mizuo's house?
As a police officer, naturally you cannot do anything illegal, but if you regard yourself as a CIA now, the act of picking locks should be an insignificant part of the job.
After a mental struggle, Fujiwara Yu took out the lockpicking tool from his pocket and was about to go around to the back door when he found Saijo Taiga walking out of the back door.
He quickly retreated to the corner and carefully observed Saijo Taiga who had taken out his mobile phone. He looked like he was going somewhere.
Where would he go at such a time? And the long backpack he carried probably contained a bow and arrows.
Fujiwara Yu slowed down his pace and followed Saijo Taiga. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he realized that he was far away from the city and was surrounded by trees. This place looked familiar. Wasn't it the park he had been to before?
?
Seeing that Saijo Taiga disappeared from his sight, he knew that the other party might have discovered that he was following him, and probably deliberately walked out of the back door to lure him here.
After thinking about this clearly, Fujiwara Yuu relaxed. He knew that Saijo Taiga wanted to silence him, but how could he let him succeed? After all, he was also good at archery.
Whoosh——
The arrow flew out of the bushes. Fujiwara Yu, who was on guard, quickly rolled to the side to avoid the arrow. If he was shot, it would be fatal instantly.
He quickly hid behind a tree and shouted at a high volume:
"Mr. Saijo, it's better to stop hiding. Aren't you still good at kendo? Why don't we show off?"
What answered Fujiwara Yu was not a voice, but a sudden blow from the flying knife. If he hadn't been on guard all the time, he might really be at a disadvantage.
He barely dodged the attack, frowning and looking at Saijo Taiga who was holding a wooden sword. He didn't take off the old man's mask on his face, and he was clearly in the bush just now, so why did he run behind him?
Saijo Taiga did not give him much chance to react. He took a step forward and waved the wooden sword in his hand, slashing at the defenseless Takaji Sosuke, aiming at the fatal neck.
However, Fujiwara Yuu would not be so naive that he would fall into a crisis without preparing anything. He pulled out the wakizashi hidden in his waist, cut the wooden sword directly with the sharp blade, and punched Saijo Taiga's mask.
Saijo Taiga could not avoid the fist that suddenly attacked him. After the mask was broken, he was too lazy to continue hiding it. He took off the broken mask directly, raised the corners of his mouth with fierceness hidden in his eyes:
"I didn't expect Officer Ying to have something like this on his person. Isn't this a violation of regulations?"
"That's better than the illegal behavior you committed."
Saijo Taiga drew his katana. This time he did not intend to be merciful and directly showed his true strength. He kept swinging his katana and attacked Takaji Sosuke, and every attack was full of murderous intent:
"Oh, it's okay, as long as I kill you, no one will know that you violated the rules!"
"Then you must have this ability!"
Fujiwara Yuu kept retreating. He knew that the length of the wakizashi would make it difficult to gain an advantage in the confrontation, and the opponent's kendo style was something he had never faced before. It seemed to be a new style.
But just when he turned sideways to avoid the attack, the severe pain from his right shoulder made him panic.
What was stuck in Fujiwara Yu's right shoulder was nothing else but a missing arrow.
How could it be? Could it be that... people who are good at archery and kendo are not the same person?
When Saijo Taiga saw that Takaji Sousuke was injured, he quickly increased the speed of swinging his sword and kept forcing the opponent back. As long as the opponent blocked him once, the wound would be torn once.
Fujiwara Yu tried hard to concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of him. He had no time to avoid the archers hiding somewhere. Just when he stepped back again, the ground under his feet suddenly relaxed and his whole body leaned back.
Oops!
Saijo Taiga watched Takaji Sousuke fall down the small slope, and when he wanted to take advantage of the victory, his shoulder was grabbed by someone. He frowned slightly and looked at the mysterious man next to him who was wearing an old man's mask and had a very similar figure to himself, coldly.
The voice asked:
"Aren't you going to kill him?"
"The arrow is poisoned. Let's go. We have more important things to do."
"Tch, that guy asked you not to kill him, right? It's really annoying." Saijo Taiga curled his lips in displeasure. He looked at Sosuke Takaji who fell to the ground under the slope, and the murderous intent in his eyes gradually dissipated.
.
Since it was that guy's request, I had no choice but to obey.
After falling down the slope, Fujiwara Yu struggled to get up. He felt that his body had become sluggish. It was not the injury caused by the fall, but the arrow inserted in his right shoulder was missing.
Is it poisonous? It’s really a method that a despicable guy would use.
He leaned against the tree trunk, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and dialed a number directly.
When he returned to the hotel yesterday, he received a message from Haihara Ai, telling him that he had also come to Kyoto and that if he needed help, he could come to her.
Fujiwara Yu smiled bitterly and twitched the corner of his mouth. She really got it right. He really needed her help now. After the call was answered, he tried hard to keep his voice from sounding weak:
"Hello? Miyano, is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"
"You've already called me this name, what do you think?" Hui Yuan Ai stared at her half-moon eyes and said angrily.
"Haha, that's right... Then can you come to Keshang Slope Drainage Park?"
Haibara Ai glanced doubtfully at Edogawa Conan, who used tracking glasses and detective badges to find Genta. If it was about the case, he could obviously go to Kudo, or at least Hattori, so how could he find her?
She quickly realized that this was not the case. She lowered her voice and asked with a frown:
"You must be injured, right? Where?"
"...I really can't hide it from you. Anyway, let's talk about it when you get there."
If the other party doesn't want to say anything, it means it's not a minor injury.
Haibara Ai hung up the phone without answering. She quickly came to Edogawa Conan, snatched the tracking glasses from his hand, and asked when the other party was full of questions:
"I remember these glasses tracked the guy's cell phone?"
"Hey? That guy? Are you talking about Takaji-san?" Edogawa Conan blinked twice and asked.
Haihara Ai, who knew the answer when she saw this expression, was not going to waste time. She directly took Dr. A Li's hand and said in a hurried tone:
"Doctor, come with me, Edogawa, and they will be taken care of by you."
"Huh? No, I still want to check the eucalyptus!"
Edogawa Conan looked puzzled, but when he saw Haibara Ai throwing a pill box towards him, he caught it and heard her say before asking:
"When necessary, only one."
Edogawa Conan was stunned for two seconds before he realized that what Haibara Ai gave him was actually a temporary antidote. So what she asked just now, could it be that Brother Takaji was attacked by a murderer?
He subconsciously wanted to follow them, but when he turned around and saw the young detective team who were completely out of the situation, he had to choose to send them back to Sanno Temple first.
"Hey Kudo, are we?"
"Hattori, please send them back first. Besides, I don't know what the coded message means now. I think Brother Takaji is worried about us messing around, so he doesn't tell us the clues he investigated."
Hattori Heiji scratched his hair irritably. For the first time, he desperately wanted to become an adult:
