Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

However, it seems now that this girl might be Heiji Hattori's friend, and I misunderstood her.

The girl nodded quickly: "That's right, my name is Kazuha Toyama, and I'm not a bad person."

At this moment, Ran also recognized Kazuha. She had met Kazuha once before during a kendo competition, but they hadn't had much contact since.

"It's you! I remember you. You're Heiji Hattori's girlfriend, right?"

"Idiot! That's not true! X2"

Just then, Heiji Hattori walked over and, upon hearing Ran's words, instinctively retorted. However, neither of them seemed to realize that their retorts were remarkably in sync.

He breathed a sigh of relief after finding out what had happened.

"You woman, really, if you wanted to come along, you could have just followed us directly. Why did you have to sneak behind us and get caught? But there's nothing we can do. Miyazaki is a great swordsman, and his strength is no joke."

As you know from when we were investigating the Morita family case, if we hadn't discovered you were a girl, things would have been really dangerous.

As he said this, he couldn't help but touch his chest with lingering fear.

After learning the details, he almost lost his mind. Kazuha was too reckless. This guy is a big demon king. Following him is practically suicide.

Miyazaki Yu had no idea that, in Hattori Heiji's eyes, he was second only to an alien in terms of danger.

But even if I knew, I wouldn't care too much.

Now that He Ye had started chatting with everyone, her earlier fear had completely dissipated, leaving only a hint of embarrassment and annoyance on her face.

"It's all your fault, Heiji. I had no choice. You wouldn't take me to secretly meet the woman from Tokyo. It made me very uneasy. As your best friend, whom I'm bound to with iron chains, of course I have to take care of your affairs!"

And who knew this guy was so terrifying? I've achieved some success in Aikido, and I've been following him cautiously, never revealing any weaknesses. But who knew he'd already noticed me? Ah? It's you!

Only then did she belatedly realize that Miyazaki Yu was the real person.

"You are Miyazaki Yu! Heiji lost to you in the kendo tournament before. However, at the beginning, he would talk about defeating you, but after the Morita family case, he never mentioned it again."

Conan chuckled inwardly. Although Hattori Heiji was arrogant, he wasn't so presumptuous as to compare himself to a monster.

Hattori Heiji felt awkward for a moment: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm not giving up easily, it's just that this guy is too terrifying, he's beyond the realm of ordinary people. I'm just doing what I can."

Kazuha suddenly said nervously, "Miyazaki-kun, I heard you're already a swordsman, so you probably won't be participating in the kendo tournament anymore, right?"

Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "No, I'm already a swordsman. If I continue to participate in kendo competitions, it would be a bit unfair to others. Besides, when I participated in competitions before, what I valued most besides the honor was the prize money. But after becoming a swordsman, that money can no longer attract me, so there's no need for me to participate anymore."

This statement is plain and straightforward. In other words, I'm rich now, and the small amount of money from kendo competitions no longer appeals to me.

This made everyone's lips twitch; it really was a simple and straightforward reason.

At this moment, Kazuha also noticed the spirit feather in Ran's arms and couldn't help but become curious.

"Are you bringing your pet cat along when you go out to play? And this cat is so fat, much bigger than the average pet. Oh my, it even has two tails! Doesn't that match the legend of cats with two tails? Is it some new breed of cat?"

As she was about to reach out and touch it, Lingyu felt very comfortable and rolled over in Xiaolan's arms. But when she saw that this woman actually wanted to touch its tail, the forked tail immediately entangled itself and wrapped around her wrist, making it impossible for He Ye's hand to move an inch.

"How could that be? This cat is incredibly strong."

Xiao Lan knew that Ling Yu was very docile towards its own people, but she had seen this little guy sever a person's arm with a single claw, so she immediately became nervous and quickly comforted Ling Yu.

"Hey, stop right now! This little guy is a bit shy. He might attack people he doesn't know well. Although he usually doesn't attack people, it's better to be careful."

Kazuha had no choice but to give up. After withdrawing her hand, Lingyu's tail naturally relaxed.

Hattori Heiji was secretly surprised: "This cat doesn't seem to be simple. But no matter how strange something is, things will be different once it gets involved with Miyazaki Yu. I just told my dad that this guy came, and he seemed very excited. It seems that Miyazaki Yu must have done something amazing again. I need to find out more about it."

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Ran and Kazuha quickly became best friends. As long as Kazuha was sure that no other woman would compete with her for Hattori Heiji, everything was fine. Sometimes, the friendship between girls is just that magical.

After the meal, Officer Sakata returned to drive. He was clearly good at social maneuvering and knew that the restaurant was hosting guests. If he joined in, it would interfere with everyone's reminiscing. So he deliberately separated from the group and found a place to stay by himself.

This made Kogoro Mori nod in approval. As expected of Hattori Hanzo's subordinate, he was truly sensible and perceptive.

However, everyone soon discovered that there weren't enough seats in the police cars.

There were originally five seats, but six people were already seated, which was acceptable because Conan was one of them. But now that Kazuha is added, there's simply no room left.

Miyazaki Yu stood up immediately: "I'll take a taxi and follow behind. Hattori Heiji and Conan can come along too. That way, there will be much more space."

But as soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He looked up sharply and saw a black shadow plummeting towards the ground, landing precisely on the hood of the police car they were riding in!

Chapter 468 A Man-Made Coincidence

"what!"

This scene was quickly noticed by the surrounding crowd, because after the dark figure landed quickly, everyone could see clearly what it was—it was the figure of a man!

Someone fell from a tall building!

Everyone was horrified and scattered in all directions. Kogoro Mouri, Heiji Hattori, and the others could only watch helplessly as the bodies fell, unable to do anything about it.

Just then, a figure twisted and appeared in front of the vehicle. As the figure was about to land, a hand reached out and lifted the corpse.

When Mori and the others saw this, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

It's important to know that when an object falls, the force is extremely powerful due to the acceleration of the fall.

In reality, similar incidents have occurred. A child fell from a building several stories high, and several migrant workers reached out to catch him. As a result, although the child survived, the migrant workers who rescued him almost broke their arms.

At this moment, this person fell from a high school. He was an adult, and his weight was far greater than that of a child. Once he fell, he would weigh more than ten tons!

This is something that flesh and blood cannot withstand, and that is why people who jump from buildings are often in terrible condition, covered in blood and gore.

But now, some people are actually trying to catch it with their bare hands, which is practically suicidal.

It's similar to when Zhang Wuji rescued the six major sects at Wan'an Temple. The reason he exhausted his internal energy by only catching a few people falling from the building was also due to this.

However, at this point, Miyazaki Yu had clearly transcended the realm of martial arts characters.

The moment the figure fell, he gently patted the corpse with his palm. It seemed casual, but in reality, a powerful force was evenly distributed across every inch of his body, as if he were holding a smooth, seamless egg.

The force of the fall suddenly eased, and then Miyazaki Yu continued to lift, gently and skillfully holding the person in his palm.

This scene stunned everyone. Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched as he watched. What kind of monster was this? How could he do something like this!

He caught a person falling from a great height with just one hand!

Seeing Hattori Heiji still standing there in a daze, Miyazaki Yu frowned and said, "Hattori Heiji, this person fell from a great height, and just now I saw another figure upstairs."

"What? There's someone upstairs!"

Heiji Hattori and Conan exchanged a glance and then ran upstairs at full speed. Miyazaki Yu took advantage of this time to put the body on the ground.

The reason he didn't fall straight down, even though he was already confirmed dead, was because this obese man had a dagger stuck in his chest. The dagger pierced through a wallet and then into his body, ending his life.

"Damn it, what's going on? Was this man murdered?"

Kogoro Mouri stepped forward to examine the body and said, "There are no obvious signs of resistance on the body, but the dagger in the chest is enough to prove that it was murdered."

Miyazaki Yu narrowed his eyes, a solemn expression appearing on his face.

"Officer Sakata, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and contact the police station to have them send officers over!"

Sakata Yusuke then came to his senses, agreed, and hurriedly took out his cell phone to run to the side to call the police.

"Damn it, I just came out to have some fun and I have to run into this again. But this is Osaka after all, so I should leave some things to the Osaka Prefectural Police and not get involved."

This is Mori's sense of propriety. When he was in Tokyo, he was the home detective and also a former policeman. He had close relationships with the Tokyo police, and everyone he met was either a friend or an old acquaintance.

There, getting involved in murder cases was commonplace and no big deal, but in Osaka, where he was unfamiliar with the place, it was better to be more discreet. He didn't want to put in effort for nothing.

"Uncle Mori, don't you feel something's strange?" Miyazaki Yu suddenly asked.

"Strange? What's so strange about that?"

He was momentarily confused, not paying any attention to Miyazaki Yu.

"If a coincidence is too coincidental, then it is very likely not a coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement by someone. Uncle Mori, just imagine, what would have happened if I hadn't reached out and caught the man who just fell?"

Kogoro Mouri's expression hardened: "If you hadn't caught him, this man would have fallen onto the hood of the police car! But if this was intentionally arranged, what does that prove?"

Miyazaki Yu said calmly, "Assuming this is not a coincidence, but someone deliberately arranged it, then I can think of at least two consequences. The first is to attract the attention of the police. The dagger and wallet were stuck in the victim's chest. This is a mark. Perhaps this is part of a serial murder case, and this man is just one of the victims. So, throwing the body on the police car can greatly attract the attention of the police. Such a provocation is extremely bad for the police."

Then comes the creation of fear. If the murderer is not prepared to stop but intends to continue, such a public killing is enough to induce intense fear, which is enough to create favorable conditions for the murderer to strike again.

Because Miyazaki Hayao was known for his flawless calculations, Kogoro Mouri immediately believed his judgment.

Then his eyes lit up and he said, "If your guess is correct, then the two boys' actions will most likely have been in vain, or the person upstairs is just an innocent bystander. Then the real purpose of the criminal, the purpose of creating fear, may also be revealed."

Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly and suddenly placed his hand on Kogoro Mouri's shoulder. Kogoro Mouri was taken aback, but then his face lit up with joy.

This left Kazuha, who had been watching from the sidelines, somewhat puzzled.

"What are they doing? What Miyazaki just said seemed to make a lot of sense, why did they stop talking?"

Xiaolan laughed and said, "I know, Miyazaki must have made some discovery and then secretly told my dad. This is one of Miyazaki's abilities. He can transmit the vibration of sound directly to the periosteum of other people through physical contact, so that when you speak, no one can hear you."

Kazuha snorted softly, "What's wrong with that? What kind of ability is it? I think it's lip reading, isn't it? It's obviously just ignoring me and doesn't want me to listen. I don't want to listen either."

At this moment, Conan and Heiji came down with a middle-aged man. It was he who had been looking down from the rooftop, but they only found out after communicating with him.

He was just a small business owner who ran a coffee shop on the second floor. He wasn't a suspicious person, and someone had called him to tell him to come upstairs at this time.

This brought a smile to Miyazaki Yu's face. The person making the call was undoubtedly the criminal. The timing was so perfect, which further proved that the criminal had obviously known their whereabouts and was in control of everything in secret.

Now let's see if our second inference is correct.

Just then, a middle-aged woman in the crowd let out a terrified cry, as if she had seen a ghost.

This immediately caught the attention of the group. Heiji Hattori and Conan, both very perceptive individuals, quickly concluded that this woman was definitely connected to the case; otherwise, she wouldn't be so terrified.

After all, with Miyazaki Yu's intervention, the corpse wasn't mangled beyond recognition, but rather perfectly intact. And with so many people around, there was no need to be so afraid.

The two hurriedly gave chase, but the woman quickly got into her car and drove away, disappearing from sight.

However, no one saw that the moment the woman opened the car door, a small figure had already entered the car like lightning in a flash.

Chapter 469 Hattori Hanzo (3rd update!)

The two returned empty-handed, and Conan then realized that Hattori Heiji was obviously hiding something from him.

This case is definitely not as simple as it appears now.

With such an incident, the tour naturally had to stop, so everyone went to the local police station with the arriving officers.

At this point, under Conan's persistent questioning, Heiji Hattori finally revealed the truth.

"The truth is this: starting from the 13th of this month, people have been murdered one after another. The causes of death of the victims are very similar: they were all strangled, then their wallets were stabbed with a sharp knife, and finally their chests were pierced."
