Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 257 What are you going to do to my Machiko!
"Heiji Hattori, you came on time."

Supporting the tied Kazuha, Saijo Taiga, who was wearing a mask, pointed his hand flatly at the bonfire around Yuryuji Temple and looked at the Osaka detective who walked up to the gate of the temple alone.

"Mr. Saijo, what you want is actually this thing."

Taking out the amulet wrapped with crystal beads from his pocket, Hattori Heiji tossed it up and shook it.

From the moment Asuka appeared, he noticed something was wrong, obviously he picked up this bead where his first love disappeared, but the girl never mentioned it from the beginning to the end.In other words, crystal beads are not really a first love.

The dead-headed high school student from Osaka never thought that Asuka was not his first love.

"As expected, you are a famous detective in Osaka. You have figured out my real body and my target so quickly."

"The voice I heard on the phone seems to be almost completely different from yours, and it's not an ordinary low-quality voice changer. How did you do it?"

According to the phone recording provided by the police, it seems that the voice of the person who kills the target is different every time.

Seeing the grinning Saijo Taiga unbuttoning the mask, and buttoning off a small black box next to the mouth of the mask, Hattori Heiji found it very familiar.

The uncle opposite held the small black box and put it in front of him: "To be honest, this thing is really good. It changes the sound as soon as you open it. And it only costs 20 yen. The person who sells it online is really kind."

This thing, shouldn't it be...

"Okay, let's get back to the topic." Putting the small black box back into his pocket, Saijo Taihe patted Heye's shoulder: "I used to learn kendo in the same dojo as Longyuan and the others, and I happened to know a man named Yi An old school that goes by."

"Yoshitsune?" Hattori Heiji glanced at the sword on Saijo Taihe's waist: "I heard from my father before that it was a kendo that specializes in killing skills. Because of its fierceness, it gradually declined."

Seemingly surprised, Hattori Heiji knew about Yoshitsune Ryu, Saijo Taiga nodded, and looked around Yuryuji Temple.

"I later quit kendo and began to study Yoshitsune-ryu on my own, and even considered myself the successor of Yoshitsune-ryu."

Yoshitsune's... successor... Sure enough, Genji Hotaru's boss "Yoshitsune" is dead, so if you guessed correctly, Saijo Taiga's code name is probably "Benkei".

"Do you want to become Yoshitsune and swallow that Buddha statue alone?"

Hearing Hattori Heiji's question, Saijo Taiga smiled contemptuously.

"This kind of useless organization is useless if you get it. My goal is more than that. I want to sell the Buddha statue and reopen the dojo belonging to Yijingliu, using this abandoned Yulong Temple!"

How should I put it, surprisingly... inspiring?
The murder is to open a kendo field of his own, and the kidnapping is to fulfill his dream.

"but…"

"What?" Saijo Taiga frowned without hearing Hattori Heiji's thoughts: "What are you talking about?"

"But! No matter what the reason is, killing is wrong!"

Unswervingly looking directly at the Saijo River, Hattori Heiji said seriously: "Is the dojo opened by this method really worthy of the name of Kamiyoshi Keiryu? Don't be kidding!"

Staring at Hattori blankly, Saijo Taiga shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense, I have already accepted many students before opening the dojo."

He raised his hand and patted it lightly in front of him. Suddenly, more than 20 young men with swords appeared on the trees of the temple, on the top of the temple hall, and in the shadows under the courtyard wall.

No, you practice kendo?It's ninjutsu!Give me respect for martial arts and science, bastard!
"Hattori-kun, hand over the crystal beads. I will let you go because of your recognition of Yoshitsune."

I can’t tell, but you are quite a good person...

"You should have solved the puzzle. It's all because of the leader. Before he died, he didn't obediently reveal the location of the Buddha statue. He just gave him a picture and said some inexplicable words."

Xitiao Dahe coughed twice: "What do you mean: Do you want my Buddha statue? If you want it, I can give it to you. Go find it! I put the Buddha statue there."

With his mouth wide open in shock, Hattori Heiji covered his forehead as if he had a headache.

"I don't know very well, that riddle can't be solved."

"Cut." Saitiao Taihe looked at his feet, and spit suddenly: "What a great high school student detective, nothing more than that."

Damn it, you can do it.

He gave Kazuha a push and reached out for Hattori Heiji's crystal beads.

"Wait, I can't give you this amulet." Hattori Heiji took out the crystal bead from inside, saw Kazuha walking to him, and threw the pekoe over from a distance.

Catching the crystal bead, Saijo Taihe took out the knife from his waist and narrowed his eyes: "Although I'm sorry to you all, but in order for my dojo to continue, I can only ask you two to stay."

"yes!"

A female voice interrupted Saijo Taiga's words, watching the blond beautiful girl slowly appearing from the gate of the temple, Kazuha leaned close to Hattori's ear, and directly grabbed his face.

"You guy, how many girls have you provoked outside!"

"No! Besides, why are you pretending to be my girlfriend!"

"Ahem." Machiko glared at the Osaka duo, turned around and continued.

"These two, one is the son of the Osaka Police Chief, and the other is his girlfriend. If you kill them, everyone here will probably commit suicide tomorrow."

"No way, what are you doing as a policeman in Osaka!" x2
Tilting her head, Machiko put her index finger to her mouth: "Gangster?"

"Hey…"

"What the hell are gangsters? Damn it, you don't want to spread rumors!" Hattori Heiji clenched his fists and said.

"How many of you..."

"I didn't spread rumors. The Osaka police are stronger than the gangsters. This is the consensus of the Japanese, okay?"

"You three! I'm still here!" Saijo Taiga suddenly slashed in the air with his knife, startling Machiko and the other three.

"Talking to yourself there, completely disregarding other people's feelings, treating us like air!"

Saijo Taihe, who was in extreme anger, ran towards Machiko, raised the knife and put it to his ear, the wind blew by his ear, and the blonde girl was getting closer and closer to him.

Yoshi, you got it, pay for your arrogance.

Just when Saijo Taiga was about to pierce the tip of the knife into Machiko's chest, a black shadow suddenly flashed across. Looking at the sword with only the hilt left, Yoshitsune swallowed his saliva and slowly turned his head.

"What do you... want to do to Machiko!"

Putting down the raised leg, Xiaolan looked at Machiko who hid behind her and screamed, and two puffs of air came out of her nostrils.

"What a beautiful kick, but what you said is wrong!"

Machiko poked her sister-in-law's shoulder with her finger, and said shyly, "If you say, "What do you want to do to my Machiko! ", people will fall in love with Xiaolan immediately..."

Suddenly being slapped on the face, Shinichi suddenly left his brother behind him, and then wiped his hands on his clothes a few times.
