Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 235 The other party took back Hawaii
Inside the venue lobby.

Kudo Shinichi carefully held a brown "bear doll" and walked quickly towards the meeting place agreed upon with Makino.

The teddy bear in his hand was something he had just received from Miss Minerba's brother Apollo not long ago.

According to Apollo, this teddy bear doll was given to him by his sister's fans not long ago.

After hearing this, Kudo Shinichi immediately determined that the criminal Hades must have installed the bomb in the teddy bear doll.

Although he already knew that this was a remote-controlled bomb, he was still extremely careful for the sake of caution.

Shortly after Kudo Shinichi met Makino, several men in police uniforms quickly walked up to them.

After briefly asking about some relevant circumstances, several police officers took the bomb and controller from Makino and Kudo Shinichi, saluted Makino and the other, and left the venue.

Until the policemen left, Kudo Shinichi still stood there, looking in the direction they left with a complicated expression.

Makino glanced at Kudo Shinichi who seemed to be stunned, then checked the time on his phone, waved his hand and said, "The game is about to start. Now that the matter has been resolved, I will go back to watch the game with Ayako and the others."

After saying that, Makino turned around and left.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Makino's back, opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

This time is different from before.

During this incident, he was with Makino almost the entire time.

Whether it is to decipher the "apocalypse" left by the criminal, or to confirm that the criminal's target is related to the tennis player Minaba, or to find the bomb and arrest the criminal...

He was basically involved in all these key links throughout the process.

But for some reason, he always had a strange and frustrating feeling of "participating but not fully participating".

It seemed as if there were "two huge mountains" pressing down on his head, making it hard for him to breathe.

Is there really such a huge gap between me and my father and Officer Makino?

Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi revealed a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, and walked towards the audience with heavy steps.

……

Not long after, in a hotel room.

While watching the live tennis match on TV, Masumi Sera glanced at Akai Mari who was sitting in front of her laptop with a serious look on her face.

After seeing the "seriousness" on her mother's face, Sera Masumi sighed secretly.

Her mother has been like this since she came back the day before yesterday.

Although my mother never likes to smile, she rarely has a stern face all the time.

She originally wanted to persuade her mother to relax a little, but the words could not come out.

On the one hand, although she had never met her father, she knew how deep her mother's feelings for him were.

My mother was unwilling to believe the news of my father's death and spared no effort to find him.

This incident was undoubtedly a major blow to the mother.

On the other hand, the mother's body miraculously shrank due to the medicine she took from that organization...

For the mother, this seemed to be a double blow both physically and mentally.

At this moment, Sera Masumi suddenly saw the audience seats at the tennis match on the TV screen and immediately shouted, "Mom! Look!"

Hearing this, Akai Mari followed Sera Masumi's gaze and looked at the TV screen.

At this moment, Makino in the audience suddenly appeared on the TV screen.

In addition to Makino, a young man wearing a hat and sunglasses and a young woman with horns on her head also appeared in the sight of Sera Masumi and Akai Mary.

Next to the young man and woman was a middle-aged man with a mustache and an angry look on his face.

The director did not point the camera towards the audience for a long time. Within two seconds, the picture on TV returned to the competition venue.

Although it only took less than a few seconds, both Sera Masumi and Akai Mary noticed the key point.

After a moment of silence, Sera Masumi slowly turned her head to look at Akai Mari and pointed at the TV with one finger: "Mom, the couple not far from Officer Makino..."

There was an inexplicable gleam in Akai Mary's eyes: "Although he is wearing a hat and sunglasses, he should be the little boy we met at the beach before, Kudo Shinichi."

Sera Masumi recalled: "I remember the girl's name seemed to be... Xiaolan?"

Before Sera Masumi could continue, Akai Mary at the side said, "Mouri Ran."

Masumi Sera frowned and said, "Mouri Ran? Mom, you still remember... Wait? I remember the photo we saw the day before yesterday..."

"Makino Ryuichi, Kudo Shinichi, Mori Kogoro, Mori Ran..." When she said this, Akai Mary picked up the mobile phone beside her, her eyes flickering.

……

More than two hours later, outside the tennis court.

Makino and his companions, along with Meneba's younger brother Apollo, were standing at an inconspicuous intersection.

Everyone was happily chatting about the previous game.

Sonoko happily put the autograph board in her bag and said, "She is worthy of being the legendary queen of the grass field. She defeated her opponent so easily. It was simply a one-man show~"

Ayako smiled and nodded, "Yeah, come to think of it, we haven't played tennis for a long time~ By the way, Ryuichi, next time we have time, how about we invite everyone to play tennis in Karuizawa?"

Makino chuckled and nodded: "Of course~"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro suddenly smiled and said, "Karuizawa?! It's settled then! Makino, I'll trouble you guys when the time comes. I'll bring some good wine~"

Hearing this, Makino and Ayako turned to look at Kogoro Mori, smiled and nodded.

Xiaolan glared at her father, then looked at Makino and the others sheepishly, lowered her head and said, "Sorry! Dad…"

Before Xiaolan could finish, Sonoko took Xiaolan's arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it! In fact, I have wanted to take you to Karuizawa for a long time~"

"..."

Not long after, Minaba, wearing sunglasses, walked quickly towards the crowd and said, "Sorry, sorry, the interview took a little longer!"

After seeing Minaba, everyone started congratulating her on winning the game.

Minaba waved her hands casually and looked at Makino and the others with gratitude: "Without you, I would never have won this game! Not only did you help me win this game, you even saved my life and my mother's life!

Ares has already driven home with my mother to prepare, please be sure to come to my house for dinner tonight! "Hearing this, Ayako and the others immediately turned to look at Makino, as if waiting for Makino to make a decision.

Makino glanced at the expectant eyes of Sonoko and the others, chuckled and shook his head, then turned to look at Minaba: "Ms. Minaba, thank you for your help~"

Seeing Makino nod in agreement, Apollo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said excitedly, "That's great! It's been a long time since anyone has come to visit us!"

After finishing speaking, Apollo looked up at Makino and Kudo Shinichi, his eyes full of stars: "Can you tell me about the cases you have solved?"

Minerva looked down at her brother Apollo, with a hint of apology and love in her eyes.

Their father passed away when their younger brother was still young, and their mother's eyesight and health were not good either.

In addition, she often traveled to various places for competitions, so her younger brother had to follow her around for so many years that he didn't even have two friends of the same age.

……

Not long after, Makino and his group arrived at Minaba's house by car.

After getting off the car, a huge mansion and courtyard suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Minerba walked in front of everyone and introduced them: "Ever since my father passed away, Ares has been helping us manage this house. In addition to the tennis court in front of you, there is another tennis court behind the house."

"It's worthy of being the home of a professional tennis player! There are two tennis courts!" Sonoko exclaimed.

Makino and the others nodded in agreement.

Except for professional tennis players, most people would not have two tennis courts at home even if they are rich.

After taking a closer look at the tennis courts in front of her, Xiaolan couldn't help but say, "Ms. Minaba must often train on these two tennis courts~"

Seeing that everyone seemed to be more interested in the tennis court, Minaba chuckled and said, "It's still early. If you are interested, we can play tennis for a while~"

As soon as Minaba finished speaking, Ares came over and looked at Makino and the others with gratitude: "I have heard about this matter from Minaba, it's really thanks to you!
The kitchen has already started cooking, but there is still some time before the game starts, so if you like, we can play tennis first."

After finishing speaking, Ares glanced at Minaba beside him, as if he had thought of something, and added: "Minaba just finished a game and needs to rest for a while. If you want to play a practice match, let me be your opponent."

Hearing this, Apollo said proudly, "Ares is also very good at tennis! Although he is my sister's coach now, he was also a good tennis player in the past!"

Ares looked down at Apollo, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "Hahaha, in fact, Minerva's father is also my tennis coach."

Mineva looked at Ares gently, then lowered her head slightly and gave a bitter smile.

"Huh?!" Sonoko and Xiaolan quickly turned their heads to look at Ares and Mineva in front of them. The "sensors" in their brains seemed to have received some signals.

As if to avoid changing the subject, Minaba looked at Ayako and the others with a smile and said, "How about it, are you interested in tennis?"

Everyone hesitated and said, "Well... But Miss Minaba, didn't you just finish the game?"

Although everyone really wanted to play tennis with Minaba, the "Tennis Queen", Minaba had just finished a match not long ago, so they

Minaba raised one arm, smiled and clapped her hands, saying, "Don't worry, I've recovered a long time ago! Let me tell you a secret, today's game didn't consume much of my energy~"

Without waiting for Ayako and the others to say anything, Mineva turned her head and glanced at Ares, chuckled and said, "Ares, I'm going to the back with these ladies, and I'll leave these gentlemen to you~"

After saying this, Minaba didn't give Ayako and the others a chance to talk to Ares, and turned directly to the tennis court behind the house.

After Minaba and Ayako left, Ares turned to Makino and the other two and said, "How about we do a little exercise before dinner is ready?"

Kudo Shinichi nodded directly and said: "Okay, actually I learned tennis for a while in Hawaii~"

Maori Kogoro also nodded with a smile and said, "Although my tennis skills are average, facing such a beautiful court, I am actually a little itchy~"

Makino also chuckled and said, "Forget it. My friend once told me that playing with me is a disaster~"

"Disaster?" Ares looked at Makino in confusion. "It doesn't matter. We're just playing for a bit, just as a pre-dinner exercise. It doesn't matter if we don't do well."

After hearing what Makino said, Ares thought that Makino refused because his tennis skills were too poor.

Kogoro Mori and Shinichi Kudo turned their heads to look at Makino, as if they had thought of something, and frowned slightly.

Ares took a closer look at Maori Kogoro and Kudo Shinichi in front of him, thought for a moment and said:

"How about this, Mr. Makino, why don't you fight with this Mr. Kudo first, and I'll see if I can help you find some problems."

Hearing this, without waiting for Makino to speak, Kudo Shinichi shook his head frantically and said, "Mr. Ares, I'm actually not very good at playing tennis either. Why don't you play with Officer Makino yourself?"

Ares: “?”

Didn't you just say you learned tennis in Hawaii?
How come your attitude changed so quickly?

Although he had some doubts in his mind, Ares did not dwell on it, but turned to look at Kogoro Mori who was standing beside him.

Before Ares could speak, Kogoro Mori started shaking his head wildly.

Ares: “???”

After a moment of silence, Ares turned to look at Makino again and said, "In that case, how about we have a fight first?"

Seeing Ares so persistent and sincere, Makino nodded after a little thought and chuckled, "Okay, Mr. Ares, thank you for your help~"

Seeing that Makino accepted Ares' proposal, Kogoro Mori and Shinichi Kudo looked at Ares at the same time with complicated expressions and a gleam of pity in their eyes.

……

Shortly after.

Ares clenched the tennis racket in his hand with sweat all over his forehead. He looked at Makino opposite him while panting, his eyes full of horror.

They have been playing for several minutes on this ball!

He originally thought this was just a so-called "tutorial match", but after playing for a while, he realized he was wrong.

Big mistake!

With so many years of competition and teaching experience, he could naturally see that Makino did not seem to have mastered any "advanced" batting skills, and even rarely used basic skills such as sliding and stepping.

but……

No matter how fast or how hard he hit the ball back, the opponent could easily hit it back.

The opponent seemed to have easily seen through his thoughts and attack routes, and was always able to run quickly and accurately to the landing point of the ball, and never missed!
He couldn't even tell who was guiding whom...

What’s even more terrifying is that even though they have been fighting until now, Makino seems to be fine. He has a smile on his face and doesn’t even show any sign of tiredness!

The opponent's physical strength and athletic ability have exceeded his imagination!
What kind of monster is this?!
