Stay away from Conan.

After Hattori Heiji set out to chase the robber, Conan tried to make several phone calls, but at first Hattori Heiji didn't answer. Thinking that maybe it was because he was still chasing the criminal with all his strength, Conan didn't think much about it.

But now, as more and more things happened, after realizing that this matter might be aimed at Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, Conan dialed Hattori Heiji's mobile phone number again, but after the call was connected, the person who came on the phone was a policeman claiming to be from the Kyoto Prefectural Police.

For a moment, this situation shocked everyone present...

……

Soon, we arrived at the Kyoto Prefecture Police Headquarters.

"So... the incidents reported to the police about a motorcycle thief in Miyagawa-cho and a masked man kidnapping your companions... were all encountered by you?"

Because the call Conan made was eventually answered by Kyoto Prefectural Police Officer Genichi Inukai, in order to find out what happened as soon as possible, everyone immediately rushed to the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters and met the old policeman named Genichi Inukai.

After listening to Conan and the others' narration, he couldn't help but feel a headache. He didn't expect that the two incomprehensible incidents he received today actually seemed to have an internal connection. This made him feel distressed, especially since his direct supervisor, Inspector Fumimaro Ayanokouji, had already left for Tokyo because of the "Genji Hotaru" case and was about to cooperate with the joint investigation team formed by the Metropolitan Police Department. Therefore, he was temporarily responsible for supervising and handling other incidents in Kyoto, which made Inukai Gen feel doubly stressed.

After all, who would have thought that just after Inspector Ayanokouji Fumimaro left Kyoto, someone would kidnap tourists in broad daylight, and someone would rob people on a motorcycle on the ancient street...

"Yes... So, Officer Inukai, is Brother Hattori Heiji okay now?"

Conan anxiously responded to Inukai Genichi's somewhat distressed question, and then asked about Hattori Heiji's current situation -

"Regarding this... the motorcycle he was driving was probably hit by another motorcycle. He has been sent to the hospital. His life is probably not in danger, but he has not woken up yet, so we don't know what happened."

Inukai Genichi said helplessly:

Inukai Genichi, who received a report about a motorcycle thief and was tracking him, met Hattori Heiji who was knocked to the ground and unconscious. Since Inukai Genichi knew Hattori Heiji from the previous incident at the Kyoto Image Studio, he asked the police to send him to the hospital and had already contacted Hattori Heiji's parents in Osaka.

As a result, after that, Inukai Genichi found out that someone called Hattori Heiji's cell phone and learned that he had friends in Kyoto, so he invited them to the police headquarters to inquire about the situation together. Unexpectedly, such inquiries led to a lot of trouble. These things that had never happened before in Kyoto happened so openly within one day, and they involved Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha...

Although I am not a police officer in Osaka, I know their identities anyway. This matter...

It's really hard to deal with. I have no clue so far...

"But you don't have to worry too much. We have sent out police forces to conduct a full-scale search. There will definitely be results..."

However, facing the children in front of him, Inukai Genichi could only say this.

In this regard, after listening to what Inukai Genichi said, and knowing that even Hattori Heiji had been in a car accident, it seemed like adding insult to injury, and everyone's expressions became very ugly.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Conan couldn't help but ask:
"Officer Inukai, could this matter... be related to the 'Genji Hotaru' thieves' group?" "Ah? Hmm!"

As a result, after Conan said this term, Inukai Genichi was stunned for a moment, and almost stood up and asked:
"How do you know this name?"

Conan did not hide this and asked Hattori Heiji to investigate the murders in Osaka and Kyoto. After knowing that the hidden identity behind the deceased was the "Genji Hotaru" thieves gang, he learned with the help of the Tokyo police that a similar case had occurred in Tokyo. He realized that there was a problem with the "Genji Hotaru" group. Just now, he received a secret code from Sannoji Temple about the whereabouts of a Buddha statue that was stolen from Sannoji Temple eight years ago. After contacting "Genji Hotaru" again, Hattori Heiji began the relevant investigation.

As a result, just as he was investigating the secret code related to the stolen Buddha statue and its connection with the secret code of "Genji Hotaru", this incident happened.

From this, Conan naturally connected the two things together.

In this regard, listening to Conan's narration, Inukai Genichi was horrified. He didn't expect that there were so many circumstances behind these things. Then, just as he was about to get up and inform Ayanokouji Fumimaro of this discovery, because Conan mentioned the letter with the code received by Sannoji, Sonoko and Xiaolan on the side couldn't help but interrupt -

"Ah! Speaking of the relationship between the stolen Buddha statue and Hattori Heiji... We actually have a guess..."

At this moment, because Hattori Heiji and Kazuha were both imprisoned, Xiaolan and Sonoko had given up the idea of ​​continuing to investigate the so-called "Hattori Heiji's first love" on their own, and also speculated that the crystal beads given to him by Hattori Heiji's so-called first love might be the decoration on the Buddha statue.

Suddenly, after this new information appeared, Conan couldn't help but be stunned:
"what!"

Then, he quickly turned to Inukai Genichi and said:

"Officer Inukai! When you found Hattori, did you see the bag with the crystal beads that he always carried with him?"

——Now, with the emergence of this information, new ideas immediately emerged in Conan's mind, and everything that was happening seemed to be connected together at once——

Eight years ago, "Genji Hotaru" stole the Buddha statue from Sannoji Temple, but lost the decoration on the statue, making it impossible to resell the statue. The lost decoration was picked up by Hattori Heiji that year as a token of his first love.

Now, eight years later, Hattori Heiji openly released the so-called token on the news, and the result...

"Eh? Conan, what do you mean..."

Hearing Conan's question, Xiaolan couldn't help but be surprised.

"That's right. Perhaps the kidnapping of Sister Kazuha and causing the car accident for Brother Hattori were all crimes committed by the 'Genji Hotaru' thieves behind the scenes in order to get back the things lost from the Buddha statue! Therefore, it is very important to confirm whether that thing is still there!"

Conan explained seriously... (End of this chapter)
