Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 489 Hattori Heiji is at a loss

Kenbashi Town 2-chome, Ito House.

A detached single-family villa, similar to Kudo's house, but far inferior to the doctor's house.

Misaki Ito is a lawyer of some fame. If Koji Shimizu were here, he would probably be able to recognize this plump and delicate middle-aged woman, because he happened to see the relevant information of this lawyer at Eri Kisaki's place last night.

Unlike Eri Kisaki, this lawyer Ito is a typical lackey of the capitalist. She accepts any commission no matter what it is. What's more, she has no requirements for the commission money and accepts it no matter how much it is. She is considered an "enemy" that Eri Kisaki faces many times. In a sense, she can be regarded as a public enemy of the industry.

But at this moment, in her own home, Misaki Ito was not relaxed at all. Looking at the dead body on the floor of the living room, her brows were deeply frowned.

Glancing at her two brothers sitting next to her, who looked like hooligans, Ito Misaki checked the time and got up from the sofa.

"Let's go, carry this guy's body up and show those two brats what happens when they disobey."

"Ah, lawyer, should we carry him?" The short and fat man in a turban looked embarrassed, and the long-haired man in a suit next to him was also a little hesitant.

It is obvious that the two men were not professional killers, or rather, they could not even be called thugs. They were just tied to death on Ito Misaki's boat because they accidentally beat Kusunoki Nobuyoshi to death and were promised huge profits.

"Nonsense, are you still asking me to lift it?!"

Misaki Ito spoke in a stern voice. She even felt a little regretful. Why did she choose these two useless guys? But these useless guys had guns in their hands.

If it weren't for the fact that these two men had guns, she would have wanted to kill these two idiots. Of course, as a big lawyer who filed lawsuits for the capitalists, she was not without a gun, but she didn't have much courage.

In the secret attic on the second floor, Kazuha and Heiji were sitting on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs, tied together with their backs facing each other. There was a fist mark on Hattori Heiji's face, and it was obvious that he had received a special treatment.

However, He Ye's condition was much better. He didn't suffer any injuries, but his eyes looked a little helpless and dazed, as if he had not yet completely accepted that he had been seriously kidnapped.

"Hattori, who called just now?"

"I didn't see it clearly, but if nothing unexpected happens, it should be that guy Qingshui."

Hattori Heiji's tone was calm, not like someone who had been kidnapped at all. Upon hearing this, Kazuha paused and continued to ask with concern: "So, what should we do now?"

"What should we do? Of course, we can only wait for someone to rescue us. I tried it just now, but these crappy handcuffs can't be opened at all."

Hattori Heiji was very helpless. He never expected that he would have such an unlucky and helpless day, and even involved Kazuha. If he had known earlier, he should have gone to Shimizu Koji with Kazuha first, and then come over in the afternoon. Maybe he could have tricked Shimizu Koji into coming along.

Although Hattori Heiji has never had a direct experience of Shimizu Koji's fighting ability, he can get a glimpse of the leopard from Conan's usual complaints.

In short, there will be no problem dealing with these little thugs.

He was careless and didn't expect the other party to have a gun, otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this. He Ye was silent after hearing this, waiting for someone to rescue them, that is, they could only wait for Shimizu Koji to rescue them. Only Shimizu Koji knew that they were here.

Hattori Heiji didn't even call the clever little Conan like he did before to tell him what was going to be a surprise for him.
But when she thought about waiting for Koji Shimizu to save them, He Ye felt a little numb. This was the second time that Koji Shimizu had to risk great danger to save her.

Thinking back to the last experience on the Suzuki Maru, the memories of the forced kiss actually became a little vague and insignificant. Instead, the determined look in Shimizu Koji's eyes as he used one hand to block the bloody mouth of a shark for her in the cold and endless sea, his pair of soul-stirring red eyes seemed to be imprinted deep in her mind, and became clearer and clearer as time passed.

Thinking back to that embarrassing experience in the hospital bathroom that made her still unable to hold back her toes from dipping on the ground, she didn't feel angry at all, because it was all her fault, so now, all she felt was shyness.

"He Ye, can you see anything iconic outside your window?"

"Hey, Heiji, are you planning to--?"

Kazuha woke up from her memories and tried to stretch her neck. Hattori Heiji also tried to cooperate with her, but as soon as they moved, they heard footsteps downstairs.

Hearing the sound, the two of them hurriedly sat down again, and after a while, a beam of light shone into the dark attic. Then, led by Ito Misaki, her two younger brothers, and the body of Kusukawa Nobuyoshi, all climbed up to the attic.

Facing the direct sunlight from two strong flashlights, Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth and avoided their sight, but he couldn't help but look at Kusukawa Nobuyoshi who was thrown in front of him.

"Mr. Kusukawa?!" He Ye exclaimed.

"See? This disobedient guy is dead. If you can't crack the code before tonight, you will end up like him."

Misato Ito crossed her arms and had a gloomy face. She coldly threatened Hattori Heiji and Kazuha as if she was interrogating a prisoner. The two thugs behind her also had dark faces and looked at her hungrily.

Hattori Heiji glanced at the white paper placed in the only bright spot on the ground. The neatly arranged letters and numbers on it were the so-called secret code, which came from Nobuyoshi Kusukawa who had turned into a corpse.

"Speaking of which, this man who looks like a rat in the gutter actually came to me and lectured me, saying, 'If you don't want the evidence of you instructing taxpayers on how to evade taxes to be made public, then don't do that again.' He also said that he had put the videotape in the safe of Tokyo Bank."

"But the man would only tell me that he had coded the combination of the safe into seven digits, because just when I was about to ask for the correct number, he died."

"And you guys just happened to call in at that time. What a coincidence, handsome boy. Don't you think that God is helping me?"

Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth and remained silent, but what he didn't expect was that before he said anything, the short and fat man next to him came up and punched him in the stomach again.

“Ugh!”

"Heiji?!"
