Stay away from Conan.

"When Yoshitsune's disguise was about to be seen through, Benkei suddenly took out a stick and hit Yoshitsune hard, thus successfully deceiving the guards at the pass. After all, how could ordinary people imagine that a retainer would dare to hit his lord?"

Sakura Masao seemed very interested and said this with great praise for the story.

Then, Mizuo Harutarou continued:
"Afterwards, Yoshitsune and his party passed the checkpoint smoothly. Benkei immediately cried and apologized to Yoshitsune, but Yoshitsune praised Benkei for his quick response. This shows the deep relationship between the master and servant, and this became a good story."

Therefore, listening to the casual chat of several people, Xiaolan wanted to further intervene in their conversation in an attempt to get close to Sakura Masao to test whether the other party's right shoulder was injured.

As a result, before Xiaolan could speak, Sakura Masao suddenly said to the teahouse owner beside him:
"Oh, sorry. I haven't been getting enough sleep lately. Could you let me rest in the room downstairs?"

So, with Sakura Zhengzo saying this, the female shopkeeper didn't think much about it and answered directly:
"If you want to rest, there are no other guests anyway, so you can rest over there."

"Oh, no, I'm more used to sleeping downstairs."

Shaking his head, Ying Zhengzao rejected the female shopkeeper's proposal, then he looked at the time displayed on his watch and said:

"How about this, please wake me up at nine o'clock."

Seeing that Sakura Masazo insisted, the female shopkeeper said no more. After nodding, Sakura Masazo stood up, waved and greeted everyone, asking them to continue enjoying such a leisurely time here. Then Sakura Masazo prepared to go downstairs to rest with the female shopkeeper.

Seeing this, Xiaolan and Sonoko, who were still standing at the door, looked at Sakura Masazo who was about to walk towards the door, and realized that now might be the best time to test him. So when Sakura Masazo was walking towards them and Xiaolan and the others seemed to make way for him, just as Sakura Masazo was about to pass by them, Xiaolan, who had just moved her body, staggered, and seemed to have lost her balance, and could not help but fall towards Sakura Masazo, and as if to grab something nearby to stabilize her body as soon as possible, Xiaolan stretched out her hand in a panic, and was about to put it on Sakura Masazo's right shoulder——

In this regard, Xiaolan and Sonoko were both worried about the results of this direct test taking advantage of the current opportunity, and the other people present seemed to be worried about Xiaolan's current condition, and they couldn't help but show expressions of surprise and worry.

As for Sakura Masao himself, after seeing Xiaolan falling towards him, an expression of extreme shock suddenly appeared on his face, and at the same time he was a little scared. He stretched out his left hand as if to protect his right side, and then this action paused for a while, and then Sakura Masao quickly tried to move his position.

As a result, he just managed to avoid Xiaolan's attack by turning sideways.

As Xiaolan stumbled and fell, her body moved forward due to inertia. After failing to grab Sakura Masao's right shoulder, she tried to reach back and grab Sakura Masao to make amends.

As a result, everyone looked extremely worried when watching this scene.

But in the end, another geisha who was performing on the scene looked at the current situation and because of the close distance, she quickly came to Xiaolan and caught her, which made Xiaolan's plan of "falling down and making a false claim" fail.

"Are you OK?"

In this way, after catching Xiaolan, Xiaolan also lost the best opportunity to touch Sakura Masazō's right shoulder, and the geisha who caught Xiaolan asked about Xiaolan's condition with some concern.

As Xiaolan was caught, many people who were watching this scene breathed a sigh of relief, including Sakura Masazo. As the situation was resolved, Sakura Masazo breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly he felt someone touch his right shoulder, causing his expression to become grim, as if he was about to scream, but he was still trying his best to endure it.

"Xiaolan!"

At this time, Sonoko seized this opportunity. After Xiaolan was rescued by the geisha, she ran towards Xiaolan as if she was normal, and accidentally bumped into Sakura Masazō's right shoulder on the way.

This should not be just a small touch. Although Sakura Masao did not cry out in pain, his obviously abnormal expression betrayed his feelings.

Xiaolan caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye and immediately realized that the result of this attempt was a success.

But apart from this, some other people present also noticed this scene and frowned slightly.

Immediately, after this deliberate test, although there were some twists and turns, it finally came to fruition. After Xiaolan stood up and responded to Sonoko that everything was fine, and after expressing her gratitude to the geisha who saved her, Sakura Masazao frowned slightly, glanced at someone in the room, and finally ignored what happened and followed the female shopkeeper downstairs to rest.

As the storm ended, Xiaolan expressed her gratitude to the geisha who had saved her. However, when she saw the young woman in front of her with white geisha makeup on her face, she felt that she looked familiar and asked:
"Hey? This guy... seems to have seen him at the Sanno Temple today?"

Now, it seemed that with the confirmation of Sakura Masao's right shoulder injury, Xiaolan had achieved her most important goal this time, and she relaxed a little, noting the identity of the geisha in front of her -

It seemed that she was the woman, Chiga Ling, who had just come out of Sanno Temple and whom he and others met when they entered Sanno Temple.

In response to this, the geisha Chiga Suzu nodded when she heard what Xiaolan said, indicating that she had indeed met Xiaolan and others when she visited Sannoji Temple today. After both parties introduced themselves to each other, they became familiar with each other. Xiaolan and Sonoko then said goodbye to everyone in the private room and prepared to go to the private room next door where "Hattori Heiji" was.

So, after returning to the private room, Xiaolan and Sonoko saw Kudo Shinichi disguised as Hattori Heiji, and the two of them told Kudo Shinichi clearly what they had just discovered -

"So, we can basically confirm that Mr. Sakura Masazo, who runs the antique shop, is the guy we encountered who kidnapped Kazuha!"

After having basically clear evidence, Xiaolan said this indignantly.

In this regard, Kudo Shinichi also agreed:

"This is basically certain. I have already informed Officer Inukai Genichi of this matter, and the police are already waiting outside the teahouse. If Sakura Shozo wants to sneak away and take any action, he will definitely be discovered... As for the rest, will there be any members of 'Genji Hotaru' among the others...

"I'm not sure yet, let's wait a little longer..." (End of this chapter)
