Chapter 40 The first meeting between East and West detectives

On weekend mornings, many students at Teitan High School in Miwa Town were doing various sports on the open-air playground.

Today is the day of the National High School Kendo Competition. The gymnasium of Didan High School is the venue for this competition. Students from sports clubs who would have come to the school to carry out sports activities on weekends can only exercise together on this open-air playground.

High school detective, Shinichi Kudo is also on the list.

The members of the football club who were originally playing football with Kudo Shinichi finally chose to quit their activities and go home because they couldn't stand being crushed by Kudo Shinichi's strength.

After continuing to play football alone for a while, Kudo Shinichi felt a little bored, so he started to leave while playing football.

"Shinichi! Are you really going back?"

Seeing Kudo Shinichi's behavior, Mao Lilan, who was packing his backpack, came over and asked.

"Didn't you say that because of this kendo competition, a high school detective like Shinichi is coming from Osaka? Don't you want to meet him?"

"Fool! What you say about Sherlock Holmes is another matter. Isn't he just an ordinary detective? There is nothing interesting to see."

Kudo Shinichi held the football with his hands and said somewhat indifferently.

"What's wrong? Kudo, Xiaolan, are you going back now?"

Suzuki Sonoko, a high school girl wearing a headband, walked in from outside the school gate and said when she saw the two of them. Also coming in was Gao Yuan, who was wearing a blue windbreaker.

"Sonoko! And Mr. Akechi, why are you here?"

Seeing the two people coming over, Mao Lilan stepped forward and greeted them.

"I plan to come and watch this kendo competition. I heard that there are many handsome guys among the high school contestants from all over the country! Maybe I can meet my prince charming!"

Suzuki Sonoko said like a bit of a nymphomaniac.

"I came here because a friend asked me to watch him play. I happened to meet Suzuki-san at the door and happened to stop by."

Gao Yuan looked at Suzuki Sonoko next to him speechlessly, and explained to himself that as for the "friend" in his mouth, he was naturally Hattori Heiji whom he met in Osaka before. When he was watching the "Super Power Murder Live Broadcast" that day, Hattori Heiji mentioned After passing it, I didn’t expect that this day would actually come.

At the same time, a similar conversation took place between two high school students on a street in Yoneka Town.

"not interested."

Hattori Heiji, who was carrying a schoolbag on one shoulder and a bamboo sword bag on the other hand, said to Toyama Kazuha beside him.

"Say that again!"

The girls walking next to Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuki, retorted, "I obviously care about it in my heart!"

"No! I don't even want to know what that kind of guy looks like!"

Hattori Heiji quickly shook off Toyama and Ye and walked alone, saying this.

"Speaking of the bus to Didan High School, where is it?"

"But lately, doesn't everyone say that Kudo is from the east and Hattori is from the west..."

"ah?"

Before Toyama and Ye finished speaking, Hattori Heiji seemed to be stimulated by something, stopped, ran back to Toyama and Ye, and said loudly.

"Hattori from the west, Kudo from the east! You know! Hattori from the west, Kudo from the east! The order is wrong, the order!"

"Look, you obviously care about it!"

After being rebutted so loudly by Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Ye said unconvinced.

"No! Idiot!"

Hattori Heiji pretended not to care and continued walking forward.

"Speaking of which, why did you come with me?"

"I can't help it. Auntie asked me to keep an eye on you and not do bad things in Tokyo!"

Toyama Kazuha said in a tone that seemed reluctant, but Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes.

"Forget it. Who is the one who gets so excited when he says he's going to Tokyo?"

"Ah, if we can't find the way, why don't we ask Mr. Akechi to pick us up... By the way, Heiji, you have an amulet with you, right? I forgot to bring my amulet before..."

As he was talking, Hattori Heiji suddenly saw a man on a bicycle wearing a white sweatshirt, hood pulled up, and a mask on the other side of the road, rushing towards an aunt who was walking in front of him and carrying a bag.

The moment he passed by the aunt on his bicycle, the man reached out and grabbed the bag in the aunt's hand and walked away.

"He Ye, hold it for me!"

Hattori looked at this scene in surprise. He didn't listen carefully to Kazuha's words. He threw the schoolbag and sword bag in his hand to Kazuha and ran after him. Kazuha shouted the name of "Heiji" helplessly. He picked up what Hattori threw and followed him.

After chasing the bicycle, after twists and turns, the man rode into a residential area. Hattori ran with all his strength and shouted: "Stop! Damn robber!"

It was at this time that Kudo Shinichi and Maori Ran, who were about to go home, happened to pass by this road. They watched the bicycles ride by and heard what Hattori said after chasing behind them.

"In times like this, as a good citizen."

Kudo Shinichi did not continue speaking, and threw the football in his hand and kicked it towards the man riding the bicycle.

In one hit, the man was hit by the football and fell off his bicycle. He was caught by Hattori Heiji who followed closely behind.

"very good."

Kudo Shinichi was very satisfied with his achievements, but the football he kicked out obviously had an accident and flew towards a house on the side - "crack", followed by the sound of breaking glass. .

"not good!"

Kudo Shinichi, who knew he was in trouble, felt a little helpless.

"Ah! What will happen to the kind citizens at times like this?"

Mao Lilan, who witnessed this scene, said to Kudo Shinichi in a gloating tone.

"Fool! Of course I know."

With that said, Kudo Shinichi walked straight towards the house - at this moment, another loud sound of broken glass came from the house, followed immediately by a woman's scream!

The words were divided into two parts. In the gymnasium of Didan High School, Gao Yuan and Suzuki Sonoko were sitting in the stands watching the game on the field. However, Suzuki Sonoko showed a lack of interest and had a droopy face.

"What, there is no handsome guy."

Gao Yuan on the side was not surprised at Suzuki Sonoko's behavior. After all, she was just such a person - even though she was a wealthy daughter.

What's strange to Takato is that it's been so long since the game started, why hasn't Heiji Hattori come yet?

"Um, Sonoko, are you free now? The art club is short of some manpower. If it's convenient for you, can you come over and help?"

At this time, a high school girl with black-rimmed glasses and twin tails walked up to Suzuki Sonoko and asked in a low voice. But Yuanzi seemed to have grasped some life-saving straw, and immediately agreed, choosing to leave this boring competition venue.

After a long time, Gao Yuan did not wait for Sonoko to come back, and Hattori Heiji did not show up. Instead, the girl who came to Sonoko before ran back in a panic, found the teacher who was maintaining order at the edge of the field, and said something.

And because Gao Yuan was not far away, he clearly heard what the girl said - "Oh no! Yuanzi is missing!"
