Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

In a Japanese restaurant in Kyoto, Gao Cheng and Uncle Mori were sitting together in the aisle, while Xiaolan and the girls on the other side were chatting enthusiastically, not paying attention to the uncle who was scratching his hair and thinking hard.

"How could this be? Whether it's the Yoshitsune ruins or the Benkei ruins, it has nothing to do with this picture at all."

Uncle Mao Li stared at the drawing paper, even his eyes were bloodshot.

"I said Kido, isn't someone joking about this painting?"

"Probably not, who would make such a joke..."

Gao Cheng propped his chin and looked at Xiaolan and the others. The three girls always had endless words to say, only Xiao Ai sat beside him quietly, holding a teacup and taking a sip of hot tea, and looked towards him.

He obviously came to investigate, but it turned out that He Ye, who was acting as a tour guide, and a few girls were moaning, and they had to take pictures of every place.

And that kid Conan, he didn't know where to find an excuse to investigate.

Shouldn't you get lost?

But having said that, this place in Kyoto really gives people the illusion of traveling through time and space, and it just catches up with the cherry blossom season. If you don’t want to investigate the case, it’s not bad to take a stroll.

"A magazine interview report?" Xiaolan suddenly called out and pulled Gao Cheng back to his thoughts.

"Yes, it's a very popular intelligence magazine in Kansai. The reporter asked about Heiji's first love in it." He Ye looked a little disappointed, took out a magazine from his bag, and said, "He said it was the third grade of his elementary school." He met a girl who was slightly older than him, and he took out a token that he said was related to her, and even asked the reporter to take a photo!"

"What is this?" Xiaolan looked at the magazine photo and found that Hattori was holding the bead in his hand.

"A crystal bead, probably given to him by that girl..."

"Hatbu's first love?" Gao Cheng poked his head over, "Isn't his first love Kazuba you?"

"Eh? No, no." He Ye blushed and shook his head repeatedly, "How could it be me... Heiji seems to have seen that girl once when I was a child. After that, every time I come to Kyoto, I will look for that girl, and I just can't find it. .”

"That's why he asked the reporter to take a picture of the crystal beads, and wanted to find him after the girl saw the report? This guy really has a hand..."

Gao Cheng flipped through the magazine.

"That guy said something was up, so he was looking for his first love, right?"

"I said," Uncle Mao Li interjected with a sulky face, "it's almost time to go to the next place to have a look? Wait a little longer and it will be night!"

"Wait a little longer, uncle, I haven't eaten anything yet..." He Ye raised his hand and shouted into the room, "Miss Boss, please bring 5 bowls of red bean soup quickly!"

"Still waiting..." The uncle wanted to slump on the chair like a rubber ball, regretting that he had hired a little girl as a guide.

commit a sin……

"Huh? Isn't this Mr. Mori?"

The ancient art dealer Ying Masao who was sitting next door heard the uncle's voice and stood up in surprise: "What a coincidence, I also said that I didn't see you when I went to Sannoji Temple today..."

"Ahaha," Uncle Mao Li regained his spirits in an instant, and said in a familiar way, "I just happened to be doing some business nearby, so I came over with my daughter and her friends to have something to eat."

"No matter what it is, it must be very simple with Mr. Mori in charge, right?"

"Where, where..."

"By the way, do you want to have a few glasses of wine later?" Ying Zhengzao invited, "It happens that Longyuan and the others will gather together."

"Really?" The uncle's eyes lit up, "That's really great, I just like this one, haha."

Gao Cheng looked at Xiaolan who were still chatting with a headache, stared at the excited uncle and interjected: "Uncle, don't we still need to investigate?"

"Hey, what's the hurry, I don't think it's too late to check tomorrow," the uncle completely forgot about his troubles, and said to the girls chatting next to him, "Xiao Lan, I'll go talk to Mr. Sakura and the others first. Go back to Sannoji Temple early."

"Really..."

Gao Cheng looked at the uncle leaving with Sakura Shozo speechlessly, and suddenly thought of the Noh play Mizuo Ryu and the ancient bookstore owner Saijo Taiga.

Regardless of who was looking for the Buddha statue, he came to Kyoto to investigate serial murders, especially to find the guy who used archery and kendo to kill people. Maybe it would be good to get acquainted with the local people who learned kendo.

"That, Xiao Lan," Gao Cheng hurriedly followed, "I'll trouble you to take care of Xiao Ai, I'll go check on the situation."

Yuanzi blinked blankly: "What's the matter? Don't you need to continue looking for clues?"

"I guess there are new clues," He Ye said with a smile, "Forget it, it's fine if there are no boys around."

"Hmm..." Sonoko nodded absently.

...

At night, Pontocho.

Like Kabukicho, Pontocho, which is located on the Kamo River, is full of teahouses and wine houses. It is very lively at night, especially when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

As the strange accent of the Japanese geisha drifted away, Gao Cheng silently leaned against the fence of the small building and looked outside.

There is a small river under the teahouse, and across the embankment is the wide Kamogawa River. You can see the night cherry blossoms blooming on the other side from a distance. It is quite dreamy under the city lights. Pedestrians by the Kamogawa River are attracted by the beautiful scenery in twos and threes, and many couples are leaning on it. Sitting by the Kamo River to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

It's very flavorful, but it's a pity that someone spoiled the scenery...

Gao Cheng squinted his eyes and looked back at the uncle who kept clapping his hands.

"Okay, okay, Miss Qianhe is number one in Japan!"

"Thank you for the compliment." The geisha dancer knelt on the tatami and leaned slightly. Gao Cheng couldn't like the frighteningly white makeup.

I really don't understand this kind of Japanese culture, so I dress up like a ghost by myself, but fortunately, this dancer named Qian Heling has a good background...

"Come, come," Long Yuan invited after applauding, "Help Detective Maori pour wine!"

"OK."

The dancer Qianhe met the face of Uncle Maori's piggy-like face, and walked meekly to the side to help pour the wine.

"Sir, please use it."

"Okay," the uncle hastily picked up the wine glass, "Xiao Goro seems to be in heaven!"

"Then you never come back!" Xiaolan walked in with Yuanzi and his party with a cold face, "Damn it, as long as I don't pay attention to you, you will mess around!"

The uncle almost choked on the drink, and coughed again and again: "Xiao, Xiaolan?! How did you come here?"

"The abbot told us, hmph, what are you talking about to discuss things!"

"Miss Xiaolan, don't blame your father," Long Yuan said with a smile, "After all, we invited him over."

"That's right, we all want to know how the famous detective reasoned the case of Genji Hotaru."

Everyone helped to speak: "Sit down together, you guys, it happens that there are so many people."

"Then bother you."

Following everyone's greetings, Hattori walked into the tea room with a curious expression on his face, and after sitting down at the dining table with Conan, he looked at the dancer in surprise: "You are not from Miyagawa..."

"Yes," the dancer smiled, "My name is Qian Heling, thank you very much last time."

Xiao Ai looked at the crowd, and walked to Gao Cheng with her little hands on her back: "So that's why we were sent away."

"Please, I didn't do anything."

Gao Cheng wondered and looked at the uncle who was reprimanded by Xiaolan with a straight face.

"I'm not that perverted old man..."

"Heye can be seen from outside!" Sonoko walked over, took a look and was immediately attracted by the night scene outside, "The cherry blossoms are so beautiful!"

"That's Kamogawa..."

Gao Cheng looked down, and unexpectedly saw that the police officer Ayanokōji was also standing on the bank of the river and looking this way, but after being discovered by him, he turned his head and turned away indifferently, as if he didn't know him.

How did this guy appear here?

Gao Cheng frowned.

"I'm really sorry," Sakura Masao asked suddenly, "I haven't had enough sleep recently, can you let me go to the room below to rest?"

"If you want to rest, there are no other guests tonight anyway, so you can go next door..."

"No, I'm more used to sleeping downstairs, please wake me up at 9 o'clock..."

Sakura Masao looked at the time on his watch, and said to everyone: "Everyone, have fun."

Mizuo didn't care about Sakura Shozo's departure, but turned to the girls and said, "You can go to the terrace below to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the night cherry blossoms. The weather bureau said that the clouds will disperse tonight, and you can see a beautiful moon scene. "

"Really?" He Ye happily said, "Let's go down!"

Gao Cheng looked down, the terrace is above the small river downstairs, it is a water terrace: "I'll forget it, just look here."

Hattori followed, "I'll stay too."

"Why?" He Ye asked suspiciously, "Heiji, are you interested in that dancer?"

Hattori was full of black lines: "Please, don't talk nonsense about what you don't have, okay?"

"Humph!"

Kazuya and the girls went to the downstairs terrace on their own, and the tea room came alive again, only Gao Cheng, Hattori and Conan leaned quietly against the guardrail.

A few people have no interest in the tea house, and they are all about the Genji Hotaru case.

Saijo Taihe who was sitting on the side curiously looked at Gao Cheng who had been silent since he came to the teahouse, and couldn't help but said, "Sorry, I feel familiar since yesterday, are you the kendo genius Okita Souji from Izumi Heart High School?" what?"

"No," Gao Cheng said awkwardly, "Although I have also learned kendo, I'm really not Okita-san... I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Kido Takanagi, and I came from Tokyo with Uncle Mori."

"Oh," Taiga Saijo suddenly realized, "You are the famous detective Kido Kosei who is as famous as Mr. Mori. I heard that you are also very good at swordsmanship..."

"It's just for fun, I haven't even participated in a game...By the way, which dojo is Mr. Saijo learning kendo at now?" Gao Cheng asked casually.

"Well, I've actually quit the dojo," Saijo Taiga said with a smile, "Because I prefer ancient swordsmanship to the current popular swordsmanship..."

"Ancient swordsmanship?"

"Uh……"

Saijo paused for a moment, then shook his head regretfully and said, "Swordsmanship was originally meant to kill people, but in this day and age, the taste is getting weaker and weaker... To be honest, my energy is now focused on the bookstore. , just occasionally come out to get together with former kendo fellows..."

"After all, it's a peaceful age," Gao Cheng glanced across the tiger's mouth in Saitiao, "Besides, swordsmanship doesn't necessarily have to be used to kill people, even ancient swordsmanship isn't necessarily the same as killing swordsmanship."

Saijo smiled and did not continue the chat.

There is really nothing to say about a swordsman who has never killed anyone...

"Oh, it's so beautiful!" Uncle Mao Li drooled and rubbed the dancer's slender hand, "This finger is like a white fish, I really want to eat it..."

"Father! I can hear you from here!" Xiaolan's roar sounded downstairs.

Seeing this, Saijo smiled softly, left the seat and said, "I'm going to the toilet..."

Hattori then sat next to Gaocheng, looked at Saijo's leaving figure and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Kido, what are you talking about with him?"

Gao Cheng shook his head and said, "Just chatting casually about kendo... But I really can't tell, this guy looks friendly, but his ideas are quite dangerous."

"You don't suspect that he is the murderer, do you?"

"Please, there is no clue at all, so why should I doubt it?"

Gao Cheng glanced at Hattori, and turned his gaze to the dancer who was playing games with Uncle Mori.

"It's you, aren't you really interested in this dancer? Is she the first love you're looking for?"

"How, how is it possible?" Hattori blushed, "How did you know that I was looking for my first love?"

Gao Cheng said contemptuously: "Of course I told Ye. You guys don't know how to cherish He Ye. You said something was wrong, but you came to the capital to find your first love..."

"What nonsense? In fact, I also want to investigate the case of Genji Hotaru," Hattori said angrily, "Although the owner of the takoyaki restaurant in Osaka who was killed was a member of the thief group, I have received a lot of care from him, so I just Want to find the murderer of this incident..."

Hattori looked at the people surrounding Uncle Mori, and approached in a low voice: "Actually, I was attacked by a strange person during my investigation today. He was carrying a bow and arrow. It is very likely that he was the murderer."

"Assault on you?" Gao Cheng looked Hattori up and down, "Why?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm worried about what I found out?"

Hattori looked depressedly at Uncle Maoli who was having fun playing games with the dancer: "What kind of medicine did this old man take wrongly today?"

Conan next to him said helplessly: "He usually dies like this."

Compared with the bustling tea house, the outside is much quieter, the singing of geisha scattered in the night sky, occasionally mixed with a burst of laughter.

As the clouds dispersed, a bright moon hung overhead, and the cherry blossoms along the Kamo River and the coast became more charming, but the garden on the terrace was not in the mood to enjoy the moon.

"I really envy you," Yuanzi sighed softly with a straightened face, "You guys still have something to look forward to, childhood sweethearts... Sigh, there are so many troubles for girls..."

"Where is it?" Heye looked angrily at Hattori, who was talking with Gao Cheng, "That guy Heiji really pissed me off!"

Xiaolan looked up, just in time to meet Conan's dodging gaze.

"Actually, I'm quite envious of you, because I can see you whenever you want..."

Upstairs, Hattori rubbed Conan with his elbow, and said with a teasing smile, "Hey, Kudo, do you have guilty conscience too?"

"Nonsense." Conan glanced down again, then turned to Gao Chengdao, "Kiroto, how long are you going to delay?"

"Ah? How long will it last?"

Gao Cheng recovered from his thoughts, met the eyes of the two, temporarily put aside the matter of the case with a wry smile and said: "Sometimes I don't believe in evil, but as long as I have a crush on a girl, I will be involved in the incident right away. strangeness?"

"Speaking of which, every time I meet you and Kudo, I get involved in the incident. It's really weird." Hattori looked at Gaocheng seriously, "There are so many temples in Kyoto, you two can consider exorcising evil spirits."

Conan's eyelids twitched.
