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

However, the gang behind this person was quite powerful, and due to insufficient evidence, Kawashima remained at large.

"Inspector Megure, based on the clues we have so far, this place is probably not the primary crime scene. Furthermore, we don't have a specific cause of death, and we haven't even found a suspect to be investigated. Finding the murderer is currently impossible."

Inspector Megure also took a deep breath.

As a police officer, this is the kind of case I hate the most.

The victim's background is complex, the whole case is confusing, the cause and time of death are questionable, and there are no valuable clues at the scene.

Solving such a case requires extensive investigation, searching for clues bit by bit, and even whether the case can be solved in the end is unknown.

"I understand, Brother Kudo. There's nothing we can do about it. It seems we can only perform an autopsy to find out the exact cause of death, and on the other hand, investigate the people the deceased came into contact with before his death, and slowly find the murderer."

Shinichi Kudo could only nod helplessly; it seemed that this was the only way things could be.

Just then, he suddenly remembered a detail that the administrator had mentioned.

He rushed to the body and lifted the clothes off Kawashima's body.

But his clothes were covered in a bluish-purple hue, as if he had suffered a severe blow.

The forensic doctor standing nearby said, "This injury was discovered during the autopsy. It was caused by a severe blow. Although it would cause great pain, it would not be fatal."

Shinichi Kudo's face lit up with joy: "Indeed, this is not a fatal wound, but it is a very important clue. This wound may be related to the deceased's death."

"Inspector Megure, the current focus of our investigation is on those who have had conflicts with Kawashima in the past few days!"

At this moment, a flame had been ignited within Shinichi Kudo's heart.

"The perfect crime, this is absolutely a brilliant and perfect crime!"

The murderer used an unknown method to kill the victim, and used a technique that I cannot currently decipher to bring the dying person back to their room, and then entered the room without breaking the doors or windows, letting the victim die slowly on their own!

Only in this way can everything make sense!

He trembled with excitement!

The opponent we've encountered this time is completely different from any of the opponents we've faced before; it's an extremely terrifying one!

But the more this was the case, the more excited he became.

He enjoyed the thrill of finding the killer little by little and cornering him, and at this moment, his fighting spirit had been fully ignited!

Meanwhile, inside the Langhua Sports Center, a highly anticipated match had quietly begun.

Miyazaki Yu slowly stood up and walked towards his opponent with a smile.

"Finally, I've met a worthy opponent. It seems I need to take this more seriously."

Chapter 56 Miyazaki Hayao VS Hattori Heiji

"Go! Go! That's awesome!"

The atmosphere on the field had reached its peak!

"This is probably the highest level match so far! Hattori Heiji from Kanto, his strength is said to be terrifying!"

"Yeah, yeah, they say he's comparable to that monster Okita Souji!"

On the edge of the field, a spirited young man also raised his head and looked at the two people on the field.

"Hattori Heiji and Miyazaki Yu are both very strong opponents. Especially Miyazaki Yu, every time he makes a move, it's so simple and decisive, completely ending his opponent. It's made it impossible for me to properly observe your strength. Now the opportunity has finally arrived!"

A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes as he thought about the first and second rounds of the competition.

For these strong teams, it's actually not difficult.

They were able to defeat their opponents very easily.

The truly strong teams are not encountered at the very beginning. If the competition starts with a clash of strong teams, then the later matches will be unwatchable.

Therefore, there have always been unspoken rules in competitions. Everyone tacitly agrees to place some strong teams in different groups to avoid letting them meet too early.

There is also the purpose of using strong teams for selection.

By distributing strong teams relatively evenly across the groups, we can minimize the number of teams that advance due to luck, thus maximizing the quality of the competition.

Therefore, the teams that have made it to the quarterfinals are definitely very strong.

Hattori Heiji stared intently at Miyazaki Yu.

"Miyazaki-kun, I'm really looking forward to this battle. I met you before those guys, so I guess I'm lucky!"

Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly and said, "Hattori Heiji from Kanto, huh? Very good. I've finally met an opponent who can make me take things a little seriously. Let's begin!"

He doesn't have the habit of chatting on the field; a match is a match!

Since we've come out to participate in the competition, we have only one goal: to win.

In any competition, the result is the most important indicator.

The competition may be full of details, but most people only focus on the result and do not delve into the reasons behind it.

Therefore, for a player, winning is always the best way to prove their ability!

Upon hearing Miyazaki Yu's words, Hattori Heiji instantly became fully focused.

At this moment, all the noise in the arena completely disappeared from his ears, and all he could see was his opponent.

A cold, sharp light began to flash in his eyes.

"Hattori has finally gotten really serious!"

Kazuha Toyama, sitting in the audience, instantly became happy.

In her eyes, as long as Hattori Heiji gives it his all, there is no opponent he cannot defeat!

Finally, Hattori Heiji made the first move, his bamboo sword flashing out swiftly, leaving a trail of afterimages, clearly indicating its extreme speed.

Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly. This opponent's strength was quite interesting; his speed and power far surpassed those of ordinary competitors.

However, his moves are not polished enough, and the traces of his moves are too deep.

Not to mention himself, even Morita Ouran, whom he had trained, could now stand up to him head-on. Of course, if the battle went on for a long time, Hattori Heiji would still be the victor.

However, in this kind of competition, the difference between men and women is not in terms of skill or technique, but in terms of strength.

In other words, Hattori Heiji was able to defeat Morita Ouran because he was a man, a strong man, not because his swordsmanship surpassed his opponent's.

You could even say that he won because he used his male advantage to drag the battle into a long fight, which ultimately wore down his opponent!

Therefore, his proud slashes were full of flaws in Miyazaki Yu's eyes.

"Snapped--"

Miyazaki Yu's single-handed diagonal slash deflected his opponent's bamboo sword, causing the opponent's center of gravity to momentarily shift slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Miyazaki Yu launched a swift attack.

His bamboo sword flashed left and right, up and down, his attack rhythm as fast as lightning. Hattori Heiji could barely hold on for more than a few seconds.

"Empty squeak—"

Hattori Heiji was forced to take a large step back, and the continuous attacks made his already unstable center of gravity begin to sway precariously.

The final, powerful blow instantly numbed Hattori Heiji's arm, nearly causing him to lose his grip on the bamboo sword, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Ah—hiss—"

The audience couldn't help but gasp in shock!

They all thought this battle would be a fierce contest, but they never expected that the gap between Hattori Heiji and Miyazaki Yu would be so vast.

It now seems that Hattori Heiji has almost no power to resist Miyazaki Hayao.

Each time the opponent's bamboo sword fell, it put immense pressure on Hattori Heiji, making him feel like a roly-poly toy, unable to stand upright under the opponent's sword force, much like a weed swaying in the wind.

"Heiji! How could this happen?!"

Upon seeing this, Kazuha stood up abruptly, her face showing disbelief for the first time.

Hattori Heiji's mother, who was standing nearby, quickly reached out and pulled Kazuha down to sit down comfortably.

"Auntie, look at Heiji..."

Hattori Heiji's mother, Ikenami Shizuka, remained calm.

"Kazuha, don't get agitated. It seems that Heiji's match is coming to an end here!"

"Auntie, Heiji must have not performed well because of his health."

Ikenami Shizuka sighed softly: "Kazuha, I know you can't accept this result, but it's the truth. That boy named Miyazaki Yu has probably reached an extremely high level in swordsmanship. Even I and Heizo would have a hard time defeating him. With such strength, Heiji naturally has no chance of winning."

Kazuha couldn't help but move her lips, but she couldn't say a word and could only look at the two people on the stage.

"I never imagined the gap between us would be so huge. You're a monster!"

Miyazaki Yu, sword in hand, laughed and said, "If this kind of strength is what makes a monster, then monsters are too cheap. You should have seen clearly the moves I just used; these are your weaknesses. Now I'm going to use my true strength, so be careful!"

As he spoke, he suddenly lunged forward, his feet slightly turning, his body turning at will as he accelerated, and the bamboo sword slashed towards the younger brother of the other.

But just as Hattori Heiji was defending, the opponent's figure turned again and was on the other side.

His figure moved like a butterfly flitting among flowers, appearing beside Hattori Heiji in the blink of an eye, turning four times, completely disrupting Hattori Heiji's attack rhythm.

Just as he was already dizzy and disoriented, a figure pounced from the side like a cheetah!

The other person did not use the tip of the bamboo knife, but rather the handle, and struck him hard in the lower abdomen.

Even with protective gear on, Hattori Heiji felt as if he were flying through the air, his body flying backwards before crashing heavily onto the tatami mat arena!

For a moment, the entire arena fell silent!

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Shocking the Entire Audience

"Heiji!"

In the absolute silence, only Kazuha's voice was clear as she rushed toward the arena.

But before he could rush over, he saw that Hattori Heiji had already stood up.

At this moment, Hattori Heiji had not yet recovered from his dizziness.

In that instant, he felt as if he had been hit by a train; his body nearly fell apart, and he instantly lost all resistance.
