Stay away from Conan.

"Is this the place? Shanneng Temple..."

Just when Conan and Hattori Heiji were contacting the police to learn about the case in Tokyo, in Kyoto, at Sannoji Temple, due to Ai's suggestion and Ran's concern, Kazuha brought Ran and the children here in an attempt to find the so-called first love mentioned by Hattori Heiji -

"Well, according to Heiji, he met the girl when he was exploring a temple in Kyoto. He was probably visiting relatives in Kyoto at the time, so the temples he might have visited at that time were basically the temples in this area."

He Ye briefly told everyone what he knew about the incident.

So, after hearing this, the children immediately became interested -

"Okay! That means we just need to find that little girl nearby! Leave it to us!"

Yuantai was the first to raise his arm and said this excitedly.

  As a result, when the other children were about to join in, Xiao Ai spoke in detail with a slightly cold tone:

"This happened eight years ago. Since the girl was a little older than Hattori Heiji, she should be at least a third-year high school student or a college student, about 18 or 19 years old, right?"

"So, Haibara-san, is the one we're looking for the big sister who lives nearby?"

Ayumi listened to what Ai said and was a little surprised by the change from looking for a little girl of similar age to an older sister. It seemed that she only understood the specific situation now.

  However, this didn't seem to matter to Yuan Tai, who just continued:

"What does it matter? Isn't it just about finding a big sister who lives nearby? Leave it to us!"

Although Genta said this, Mitsuhiko obviously no longer had the momentum he had just now. It seemed that he felt a little embarrassed to go to a strange sister of that age to ask about the situation.

However, this obviously could not overcome Genta's momentum, so after several exchanges, Genta took Mitsuhiko and set out to find the so-called big sister regardless of anything. As for Ayumi and Ai, they did not follow them.

Regarding this, Xiao Ai said that "separate actions are more efficient."

However, until Genta and the others really left alone, and Ai asked Professor Agasa to follow them and prevent them from getting into trouble, Ai herself did not go out to look for them.

  Regarding this, Ayumi was a little puzzled and asked doubtfully:

"Haibara-san, why don't we go look around?"

In response to this, Xiao Ai just sighed lightly and said:

"After all, it's been eight years. Even Hattori Heiji himself has come here several times and even published the news in a magazine, but there has been no result so far. How can we possibly find it by just searching so hard?"

So, as Ai said this, Ayumi couldn't help but look at Ai with surprise. She didn't know why Ai didn't tell Genta and the others about this in advance, but instead actually let them go out to look for it.

However, Yuanzi, who was standing by, looked at Xiao Ai's actions and couldn't help but say:

"This child really looks like a brat..."

  In response to this, Xiao Ai casually explained:

"Just asking them to look around is just an attempt. To be honest, the clues from that year were a little difficult to confirm. The only clue that is relatively close seems to be..."

Having said that, Ai looked up at Kazuha.

"Huh? Me?"

Being suddenly looked at like this by Ai, He Ye was a little surprised and at a loss as to what to do.

However, at the same time, Xiaolan also looked at Kazuha seriously, which made Kazuha even more at a loss. Then Xiaolan seemed to have thought of something and asked: "Kazuha, are you really sure that when Hattori was hospitalized in Kyoto, the person who secretly sent flowers to Hattori in the hospital was suspicious?"

"Ah...this..."

After being asked this by Xiaolan, He Ye felt a little unconfident.

However, although there was no clear evidence, He Ye, who found this matter very strange, finally insisted:

"I just feel very strange. I was only away from the ward for a while, and Mr. Mingzhi was also in the hospital at that time. It's not like Mr. Mingzhi sent the flowers, so it's very strange that he sent the flowers when I was away from the ward!"

So, He Ye could still roughly remember what he saw and heard in the hospital that day.

  Xiaolan and Xiaoai were a little surprised by this:

"Mr. Wise?"

——"Gao Yuan was there too?"

Xiaolan asked, and Xiaoai was just confused for a moment, but when she thought about it, the thing that He Ye said happened before she became like this, so it was natural that she didn't know what Gao Yuan had done at that time.

In response, He Ye couldn't help but explain:

"Yes. At that time, Heiji came to Kyoto to perform, so he invited Mr. Akechi to come and visit..."

  Hearing this, Xiaolan felt helpless:

"I haven't heard Dad mention it..."

So, Xiao Ai suddenly had an idea about this matter, but she didn't know whether Gao Yuan would discover anything about what He Ye said about sending flowers?

  However, after thinking about it carefully, it is better not to disturb Gao Yuan with such things for the time being. It would be more interesting for people like me to dig out the story of Hattori Heiji's so-called first love!

So, just as Xiao Ai was thinking this, standing at Shanneng Temple, she felt that even with the recent "flower delivery" incident, there was still no easy-to-think-of direction for investigation. But at this moment, she heard a man's anxious voice coming from Shanneng Temple -

"Abbot! Something bad has happened, Abbot!"

Judging from the source of the voice, it was inside Shanneng Temple, and the person who said this should be a monk in the temple.

So, Ai and the others who happened to hear the noise, perhaps because they had followed Kogoro Mori, Conan, Takato, Hattori Heiji and the others for a long time, subconsciously thought of heading towards the temple first to see what was going on and whether they could help.

Just like that, everyone who entered the temple saw a square-faced, flat-headed man in his thirties, wearing a black monk's robe, running towards the main hall of the temple.

Then, at this moment, a tall, thin, bald old man, also wearing a black monk's robe, came out from the main hall of the temple. He seemed to be the abbot of this temple.

He seemed to have heard the man's shout and walked out from the hall, his eyes narrowed and his head tilted slightly, as if he was a little confused.

But at the same time, a young woman in a beige kimono and a bun came out of the main hall. She looked to be about 20 years old. She bowed to the abbot and said goodbye. Then she walked out of the main hall, passed the man who ran to the main hall, walked past Xiaolan and others, and walked out of the temple.

At this point, on one side, there was a woman walking out of the temple, and on the other side, there was a man shouting "Oh no" and rushing towards the abbot.

This scene made Xiaolan and others who happened to see and hear about it feel a little overwhelmed... (End of this chapter)
