Stay away from Conan.

"The little boy with the glasses?"

Listening to Iori Muga's words, although Ooka Momiji was asking questions, judging from her expression, she didn't seem to have too many doubts.

In this regard, Iori Muga seemed to have done some preliminary research, and naturally accepted the question and replied:

"Yes. A kid from Tokyo. He's quite smart and was on the news for recovering a gem that was stolen by Kaito Kid."

So, after hearing this answer, Ooka Hongye couldn't help but smile and said:

"This is truly a child that Heiji would like to interact with, so there's no need to worry about it."

"Yes. But...what about that incident about Master Heiji's first love?"

After responding, Iori Muga continued to ask this question.

As for this question, when it comes to Hattori Heiji's first love, for Ooka Momiji, this matter was after all published in a popular magazine and she had also seen it.

  Facing this question, Ooka Hongye still maintained an elegant and calm attitude and replied:

"It doesn't matter. After all, that so-called first love is just a passer-by who has never talked to Heiji."

A very nonchalant attitude. After all, according to the content of the magazine and a simple investigation, at least up to now, there has never been such a person next to Hattori Heiji. So in Ooka Momiji's opinion, this is just a boy's nostalgia for a girl he only met once when he was a child. It is just a normal excuse to evade interviews with reporters.

After all, compared to that illusory first love, I am different. Heiji has told me clearly, "Next time we meet, I will marry you."

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the illusory first love, but for the next formal meeting with Heiji, I still need to prepare well and find a better time.

Having heard Ooka Momiji's answer, Iori Muga bowed respectfully and said:

"I understand."

After saying that, Iori Muga was about to say goodbye and leave, but at this moment, Ooka Hongye's phone rang, and the caller ID showed -

Wise and far-sighted.

……

"hey-hey……"

Back to Conan and Hattori Heiji, when Conan asked Hattori Heiji if he had other purposes for this trip to Kyoto, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but chuckle and said:

"Ah, did you figure it out?"

"Really?"

Conan rolled his eyes at Hattori Heiji and sighed, then waved his hand and said helplessly:

"Okay, then tell me what's going on."

So, Hattori Heiji followed Conan and began to explain as they walked:

"Actually, this is what happened. In Osaka, the owner of a takoyaki restaurant I often go to was murdered. According to Officer Otaki, the police have found that the owner is likely a member of the thieves' group 'Genji Hotaru'. Although he is a member of the thieves' group, I have often visited his place since junior high school and he has taken good care of me, so I want to help him find the murderer and avenge him."

After Hattori Heiji briefly explained the situation, Conan was a little confused when he heard the name "Genji Hotaru". Then he seemed to remember something and said thoughtfully:

"'Genji Hotaru'? Now that you mention it, I have some impression of it... It seems that it is a theft group that mainly operates in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and other places, and has repeatedly stolen famous Buddhist statues and works of art. However, the main activities of this group were from the end of the last century to the beginning of this century. It seems that the group has ceased its activities in recent years, and I have not heard of any new theft cases involving this group... "And..."

At this point, Conan looked at Hattori Heiji:

"Although the activity range of 'Genji Hotaru' includes Kyoto, the victim was killed in Osaka. Why did you come to Kyoto? Could it be that..."

"Yes."

  Nodding, Hattori Heiji confirmed Conan's guess:

"Officer Otaki told me that a similar case also happened in Kyoto. And judging from the time of the crime, both died on almost the same night, with only a few hours between them. The case in Kyoto happened almost in the early morning, so there might be witnesses who saw the murderer..."

"From Osaka to Kyoto..."

Listening to Hattori Heiji's story, Conan naturally fell into thinking. Judging from the case Hattori Heiji described so far, since it is a similar case, that is to say, the people who were killed in Kyoto -

"Is the deceased in Kyoto also a member of 'Genji Hotaru'?"

Conan asked to confirm.

"It shouldn't be wrong."

  Hattori Heiji explained:

"Because the members of 'Genji Hotaru' all called each other by the names of Yoshitsune's retainers, and each of them held a copy of the Yoshitsune Ki. After the police investigation, it was discovered that the copy of the Yoshitsune Ki they held had been taken away."

  In this regard, after hearing this, Conan continued to analyze:

"So, if we put this whole thing together, it means that the members of 'Genji Hotaru' were killed in Osaka and Kyoto on the same night. And combined with the time of death of the two victims, it is possible that the same murderer rushed to the two places in one night and murdered the two victims..."

  As he said that, Conan looked at Hattori Heiji, and considering Hattori Heiji's identity in Osaka, he said:

"And you should have investigated the matter in Osaka, but probably didn't find anything, so I hope you can come to Kyoto, near the crime scene in the early morning, to see if you can find anything, right?"

"Yes, that's it!"

In response to Conan's analysis, Hattori Heiji smiled and nodded, confirming his guess:

"So, since you are here, let's investigate together and see if there are any results... By the way, let's have a competition to see whose reasoning is better."

So, after listening to Hattori Heiji's words, Conan naturally agreed. After all, as for the case, he was certainly interested in investigating it.

"But, are you sure you don't want to change back to your original form and go investigate with me?"

Finally, Hattori Heiji seemed to be still struggling with whether Conan would return to his original appearance.

In response to this, Conan could only continue to give Hattori Heiji a blank look to make his point clear, and it seemed that he was determined not to change back like that.

At this point, Hattori Heiji could only smile helplessly and let it go for now...

……

"Mr. Akechi, please."

At the same time, on the other side, in the Ooka mansion, Gao Yuan, led by Iori Muga, who had called Ooka Momiji in advance, entered the classical Japanese courtyard and went to the reception room to meet Ooka Momiji.

Thus, under the guidance of Iori Muga, Gao Yuan looked at the layout of this classical courtyard. Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the low-key luxury. It was even more luxurious than the residence of Mitarai Muneaki that he had seen in Hokkaido before. It can only be said that it is worthy of being the family of the former prime minister...
