Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"I see, that's it."

Hattori Heiji sat on the sofa in the hotel with a helpless look on his face. He silently looked at the two girls opposite him. He always felt that there must be something wrong with his brain to really think that Yuuji was kidnapped by an evil gangster.

[Why didn't I see it when I first entered the room? ]

He ignored Yuuji who kept winking at him, and thought of Kazuha who was still with Xiaolan, and finally turned his attention back to the confession.

"Is Hattori-senpai looking for a place to confess his feelings?"

Kaori poured the brewed hot black tea into the teacups, then turned around and poured more wolfberry soup for Yuuji.

"In Hakodate, the only places where you can express your love are probably Goryokaku and Mt. Hakodate. Other places are just ordinary tourist attractions."

Yuzuki also expressed her impression of Hakodate. Both girls noticed Hattori Heiji's conflicted expression, and they looked at each other and waited for each other's answer.

"Of course I know these two places, but..."

Hattori Heiji's face turned slightly red. It was indeed a bit difficult for a tsundere like him to verbally confess his plan in front of a girl younger than him.

"But... I really want to do something special. Even if I mention it decades later, she will smile happily. I can't accept a confession other than this."

He wants to play in high-end games even though his rank is not high. This is how Yuzuki and Kaori describe Hattori Heiji. In his situation, he should just get straight to the point and the romance can be added later. The key is to convey his feelings first.

"If we want to go all out and confess our feelings to Kazuha, we have to solve this problem first. We have to find out the cause of death of the person who attacked us and the lawyer."

“Leaving aside the attack, the lawyer’s death is the suspicious point of the whole incident.”

Yuuji, sitting in a wheelchair, sipped his wolfberry tea and expressed his opinion. He probably understood what happened to the attack, but Hakodate was still in a fog until the lawyer's death was clear. "I thought about that torn piece of paper when I was looking for you."

Hattori Heiji mentioned: "It's the Tokyo Church... or something."

"It's a knife, right? If you plan to hold something like this for a long time, you have to get approval from the local education committee. His first stop after returning from Dubai is Tokyo, so he has to get approval there before he can return here."

Yuji exhaled a breath of hot air: "That torn piece of paper looks like just ordinary debris, but it is actually a death message deliberately left by Kugaki Chengren. The purpose is to tell the police that the murderer is related to the Japanese sword he brought back."

Specifically analyzing, Yuji and Hattori are still suspicious of Takuzo Axie, and they don't know that Brian D. Kadokura's attention is still on Kugaki Sumitu's employer.

"The Fujiang Group is definitely short of money in the face of a takeover, but there's no need to kill someone just for a knife, right?"

Hattori Heiji shook his head: "I think there is still something we don't know, and this is the key."

He stood up, greeted, and turned around in one go. The boy then realized that Hattori Heiji seemed to be planning to leave him alone, so he hurriedly shook the wheelchair under his butt.

"Hattori, you'll need help to check this. It's too dangerous to go alone."

"I don't think it would be faster to bring a guy who can barely walk with weak legs than to check it myself. You'd better stay here."

Detective Osaka only showed Yuji his back, and as a punishment for his blatant attempt to escape, the boy could only watch the two girls lift their heads and legs respectively and walk towards the bed.

"Don't worry, today is the last night."

The girls started peeling the skin. (End of this chapter)
