As for Shimizu Koji's sword, because of the blessing of the Sharingan's pupil power, his physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people. The power he exerted with this sword was almost at the level that only a sword saint could achieve. At least Shimizu Koji felt that with the strength of Michiko Tetsu, a swordsman, she could not do this. She could produce the same sword energy, but she could definitely not achieve the same lethality and destructive power as him.

So, this kind of thing is actually not that difficult to explain to the police.

Chapter 492: Nighttime Accommodation

Michiko Tetsu's people arrived in less than twenty minutes. The entire street was blocked by the crowd, and ordinary people who wanted to watch the excitement were naturally driven away.

After saying hello to the leader Uehara Nobuo, Shimizu Koji took Kazuha and Hattori Heiji and escaped. Naturally, the aftermath was left to professionals.

So in fact, as long as no one says anything, the police, who may take another hour or two to arrive, may not even know they have been here.

Nobuyoshi Kusukawa left on his own, while Koji Shimizu drove him and Hattori Yeone all the way back to their home in Beika Town.

"boom."

After closing the car door, the three of them got out of the garage.

Hattori Heiji felt a little embarrassed when he got out of the car. When Shimizu Koji looked at him, he smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said, "Well, Shimizu, we are sorry to have troubled you. We were originally going to thank you, but we didn't expect to let you do it again."

When He Ye heard this, her face turned slightly red and she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Shimizu Koji didn't say much, but just smiled faintly, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "Since you have discovered the problem, there is no way I can just watch you die without helping you. You should go home first. Lunch has been prepared for a long time."

In a sense, this was also the first time that Koji Shimizu entertained friends. Although it was a little unfamiliar, it still felt good.

After entering the house and briefly introducing each other and getting to know each other, lunch finally started at three o'clock in the afternoon at the Qingshui family.

Before the meal, Kazuha solemnly thanked Shimizu Koji and opened the topic. Except for Yukiko who asked about what happened last time out of curiosity, everyone else was talking about what happened to Hattori and Kazuha this time.

"He Ye, are you saying that you were pushed into the sea by that killer last time? Was it this guy who jumped into the sea to save you? Or was it from the shark's mouth?!"

Yukiko was startled, and while speaking, she couldn't help but look directly at Shimizu Koji.

The look was quite complicated, containing some disbelief, some admiration, and some meanings that were difficult for Koji Shimizu to understand.

Kazuha nodded embarrassedly and hummed lightly, which was considered as confirmation. This actually allowed Hattori Heiji, who had been feeling resentful, to understand more of the inside story.

In particular, Shimizu Koji actually used his arm to help Kazuha block the shark's bite

Hattori Heiji remained silent. Although he felt that he had the courage to do so, for some things, courage alone was not enough. One also needed extraordinary speed, decisive reaction, and toughness.

The dining table is a rectangular family dining table, neither too big nor too small, which is more than enough for normal times. Today, with the addition of Kazuha and Hattori, it is also completely sufficient. The only difference is that Yukiko sits at one end of the rectangle, at the top, while Shimizu Kōji and the Miyano sisters are actually just to her left, facing Hattori and Kazuha.

So, after hesitating for a moment, Yukiko reached out and grabbed the sleeve of Shimizu Koji's clothes, and then pulled it up.

Thanks to the physical leap brought about by the evolution of the Sharingan at that time, the wounds at that time actually healed very quickly. Until now, there are naturally no scary scars or the like, just some faint scars.

But it is also evidence of what happened.

Koji Shimizu didn't say a word the whole time. This was Yukiko's personality and he was used to it. However, Hattori Heiji and Kazuha on the opposite side were obviously surprised because they knew that this was Kudo Shinichi's mother, not Koji Shimizu's.

"Hey, why don't you speak?"

"Hmm? What are you talking about? Tell me, why are your clothes on her?"

Koji Shimizu tried to start a private chat with Haibara Ai, but with just one word and a look, Haibara Ai silenced him.

"Uh, they were kidnapped. It's raining outside."

Obviously, his explanation was weak and powerless. Haibara Ai just glanced at Hattori Heiji, who was being asked questions by Yukiko. Her meaning was self-evident.

That is, doesn’t she still have a childhood sweetheart? !

"It's getting late, so there's no need to explain. You should first ask them where they're staying tonight. After all, they're guests. If it gets any later, the hotels in downtown Tokyo will be full. You don't want them to end up on the streets, do you?"

Koji Shimizu paused slightly, and Miyano Akemi, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, didn't quite understand at first, but heard it later, so she gave Koji Shimizu a questioning look.

"Hattori, Kazuha."

"Ok?"

The two of them looked over at the sound. Shimizu Koji thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you planning to go back today? Or are you going to stay in Tokyo?"

"Ah? This——?"

Hattori was stunned. It was obvious that he hadn't thought about this question either, and he was the same as Ye.

Hattori Heiji looked at the time and frowned. "Today I came here mainly to visit you, Shimizu. I also heard that the guy was injured and hospitalized, so I planned to go over to see him. But if I go over, I might not have time to catch the evening train."

"That guy? Who is he? Heiji?"

Before Shimizu Koji and the others were curious, Kazuha was the first to become curious. It seemed that Hattori Heiji was also the kind of person who made decisions on a whim. It was Shimizu Koji who told him the news of Conan's injury.

"Ah, yes, no, yes"

"Is it Conan?" Yukiko suddenly spoke with a gentle smile.

"Huh?" Hattori was stunned.

"Yeah, that little guy was clamoring to see you, Brother Heiji, today. He said there were some serial arson cases recently and he wanted to learn some detective experience from you."

"Ah? Yes, yes, yes, that's right."

Although Hattori Heiji couldn't quite understand why Yukiko could make up a perfect lie so easily, he nodded quickly and didn't dare to hesitate for a moment.

Seeing this, Kazuha probably understood. After all, she had seen Hattori Heiji and Conan together before, and they were very close.

"Is Conan in the hospital? What happened?"

"Well, he was injured. It was an accident. After lunch, I can take you to see him." Shimizu Koji continued.

"By the way, Hattori and Kazuha, are you planning to stay in Tokyo tonight? Do you need my help to book a hotel for you?"

"Wait, why book a hotel? If you want to stay, just stay here."

There was a serious internal conflict between Koji Shimizu and Yukiko, but of course, Yukiko, the host, had the final say.

"Hey, live here?"

Kazuha hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement, but when Hattori Heiji looked around at Miyano Akemi, Yukiko, Kazuha, and Haibara Ai, his tone was obviously wrong.

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Shimizu Koji stood up, walked to his side, and patted his shoulder, "Of course Kazuha will live here, and you, come with me to live next door at Dr. Agasa's house."

"Oh, haha, is that so? No problem then, I can do that too."

Hattori Heiji smiled awkwardly, and he looked a little regretful, perhaps because he was woken up from his daydream by Shimizu Koji.

In this regard, Koji Shimizu can only say, what kind of detectives are they? They are all just adolescent boys who only dream about good things, just like Conan who likes to take a bath with Xiaolan!

If you do this, I, He Ye, will not be polite to you!

Chapter 493 How about we arrest Mao Lilan? (Two in one)

In the afternoon, after dinner, Koji Shimizu took Kazuha and Hattori Heiji to the hospital again.

Although they went to visit Conan, they were actually just chatting in a different place. Hattori Heiji had an encrypted conversation with Conan, while Kazuha and Xiaolan had a classic heart-to-heart talk between best friends.

Among them, Koji Shimizu seemed to have nothing to do.

"Hey, Xiaolan, are you saying that your school's anniversary party is about to begin?" He Ye said with some surprise.

"Yeah, it's this Friday. How about He Ye, do you want to come and play?"

Xiaolan finished speaking with a smile, and He Ye began to count the days on his fingers, "Tomorrow is Tuesday, the day after tomorrow is Saturday, and the day after tomorrow is Friday!"

Kazuha's exclamation had already attracted the attention of everyone in the ward. Hattori Heiji watched her count the days, then turned to look at Conan curiously, "School anniversary party, what are your plans?"

Conan, who had been very calm, immediately showed some vigilance in his eyes. He first glanced at Xiaolan over there, and made sure that Hattori Heiji's words were not heard, then he shook his head carefully.

"No." Conan said firmly.

Of course he would not tell his little secrets around anymore, especially to someone as talkative as Hattori Heiji. If he heard someone shouting about the antidote or something, he would be doomed.

"Eh? No, but I think you look suspicious."

Hattori Heiji was just asking casually, but when he saw Conan's reaction, he immediately became alert, pinching his chin with a look of suspicion on his face.

"Well, since you have time, why not stay for two more days? This is our Teitan 60th anniversary celebration. From what I understand, there should be many good activities. If you miss it, you will miss it."

Shimizu Koji suddenly interrupted and made a suggestion, which made Kazuha's eyes light up. In fact, Kazuha wanted to say this anyway, but considering that she was now staying at Shimizu Koji's house (she tacitly agreed), she was too embarrassed to say it, because it would be very rude to act rashly on her own, and if they did not stay there and went to a hotel instead, it would seem disrespectful to Shimizu Koji and Yukiko.

So, once Koji Shimizu took the initiative to bring it up, the problem was easily solved.

Kazuha nodded and agreed without hesitation, but Hattori Heiji on the other side was a little hesitant at this moment, but seeing that Kazuha agreed, he had no choice but to nod as well.

"Then Qingshui, we may have to disturb you for two more days."

"It's okay, you're welcome. You can chat here for a while. I still have some things to take care of. If you plan to go back, call me."

Koji Shimizu stood up and said goodbye, because there was no need to stay unless he planned to continue to be an awkward invisible person. It was not that other people didn't care about him, but he had no interest in participating in these trivial chats.

"Ah Shimizu, are you planning to go--?"

Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment and wanted to stand up, but Shimizu Koji waved his hand and refused him.

However, Hattori Heiji still insisted on walking out of the ward with him, obviously having something to say to him alone.

"Shimizu, are you planning to go to the Metropolitan Police Department?"

In fact, it is impossible for Hattori Heiji to have no reaction to Shimizu Koji's murder. It's just that the situation was indeed dangerous at that time. Although Shimizu Koji's approach was a bit extreme, it cannot be said to be wrong.

However, when Hattori Heiji came to terms with Shimizu Koji's calmness after the murder, he felt something was wrong.

"Well, that's about right. The police found out that it was an explosion. I plan to go over and make a statement and take notes."

"explode?"

Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the people that Shimizu Koji called at that time might have completely changed the scene.

"Um, Qingshui, I'm not suspicious of anything, I'm just simply curious, who are those people?"

Hattori Heiji probed cautiously.

Shimizu Koji looked into his eyes and did not answer immediately. Instead, he smiled faintly and said softly, "In fact, Hattori, you think that my reaction after killing someone is too calm, not like an 'ordinary person'."

Hattori Heiji paused slightly, and then he suddenly remembered that Shimizu Koji was a person whose IQ and observation skills were not inferior to his and Conan. And precisely because of this, his expression became more solemn.

Because once a person like Koji Shimizu steps into the dark field, it will inevitably bring heavy disasters to the entire society.

"I believe you are familiar with my background. I am an orphan who lost both my parents. Conan should have told you about this a long time ago."

Hattori Heiji nodded silently. He was somewhat curious about what Shimizu Koji was going to say next, but also felt a little inexplicably fearful.

In fact, Koji Shimizu had already thought of all this. Even after killing someone in the cave and saving Conan, he had thought about what to do if Conan became suspicious of him. But to his relief, Conan did not ask about it and did not even show any concern.

Obviously, it's not that Conan didn't notice these things, but he thought that in that situation, even if he killed someone, it would be completely right, instead of blindly believing in legal justice.

But Hattori Heiji was a little different. After all, he was not shot, otherwise he probably wouldn't have asked so many questions. For a moment, Shimizu Koji couldn't help but think that if he had waited a little longer and let Hattori Heiji suffer some real pain, would it have been better?

But unfortunately, the woman was planning to attack He Ye at that time, so there was no choice.

"I believe that you, like Conan, are actually very curious about my kendo skills, my luxury cars and watches, and the source of my huge cash. However, you have always restrained your curiosity and have not made any offensive investigations. I am very grateful to you for this. At least you treat me as a friend~."

"And you have seen the true strength of my kendo. As a fellow practitioner of kendo, I think you should understand what level of power that is. Then, Hattori, you should also be able to figure out that with my strength, it shouldn't be strange even if I'm targeted by some big family."

"What?! Qingshui, you, you are being targeted?!"

Hattori Heiji's eyes widened, while Shimizu Koji smiled slightly and continued to lie half-truthfully: "Almost, but not in the way you understand. They just want to borrow my hand to help them get rid of a swordsman who is their sworn enemy, so they will do whatever I ask."

"Of course, the price I paid was that I was trained like a killer. They used death row prisoners from all over the world to practice kendo with me, or in other words, to practice the kendo of killing. I didn't have much choice or the right to refuse. I think you should understand what I mean, Hattori."

As Shimizu Koji spoke, he shook his head gently, and his original smile seemed to have a little more bitterness and helplessness. He looked at the sky outside the window with dim eyes. His figure was tall and thin, and he seemed aloof from the world, with an unspeakable loneliness in him.

Koji Shimizu is just playing the victim, because when communicating with smart people, you don't need to say too much, they can imagine a lot in their imaginations. For example, now Hattori Heiji, under Koji Shimizu's hint, has already imagined a series of movie-level dramas in which someone put a gun to Koji Shimizu's head, used intimidation and bribery, and threatened the people around Koji Shimizu. He was shocked and heavy in his heart, and his already dark face became even more solemn.

On the one hand, Shimizu Koji did this to gain sympathy and dispel suspicion, but the main purpose was to cover up his future actions and make an explanation in advance.

After all, if I kill someone again or accidentally reveal my whereabouts while following the organization's actions in the future, I will have a reasonable excuse as long as I am not caught on the spot.

For some things, there is a huge difference between explaining them in advance and explaining them afterwards, the difference is like heaven and earth.

And Koji Shimizu also believes that Hattori Heiji will tell Conan exactly what he said, or even in a more exaggerated way.

-

After Shimizu Koji's explanation, Hattori Heiji didn't continue to pester him. Even though he still had many questions in his mind, he buried them silently in his heart.

Because he believed that his doubts and worries should be understood and noticed by Koji Shimizu, who was as smart as him. Since Koji Shimizu did not intend to explain more to him, he would not ask any more questions.

After Koji Shimizu left the hospital and got in the car, he called Vermouth directly.
