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

In that instant, Miyazaki Yu struck him in the abdomen with the hilt of his sword, the force of six or seven hundred pounds hitting him.

If Miyazaki Yu hadn't shown mercy and deliberately dispersed his power instead of concentrating it on one point, it would have been a different story.

That's why it achieved this effect, directly knocking Hattori Heiji away instead of the kind of training that penetrates to the internal organs. Otherwise, if this attack had been concentrated, Hattori Heiji would have been seriously injured.

If the sternum is shattered, the internal organs will be severely damaged, and it may even endanger life.

They had no grudges against each other, and Miyazaki Yu actually admired this dark-skinned boy, so naturally he wouldn't hurt him.

"Hit Hattori, knocked down the opponent, valid!"

The referee quickly made a decision and then went forward to begin the inspection.

As an experienced referee, his knowledge far surpasses that of a group of students.

That kid's attack was so swift and terrifying that he almost tried to stop it.

But that kid was too fast; before he could even shout, the battle was already over.

Heiji, are you alright?

At that moment, Kazuha rushed over and grabbed Hattori Heiji's arm, almost bursting into tears.

Hattori Heiji was immediately overwhelmed.

"Kazuha, don't cry, I'm fine. The referee is still checking me."

The referee grunted in response, and after a moment, raised an eyebrow and glanced at Miyazaki Yu.

"You didn't lose unjustly, kid. He went easy on you. He deliberately dispersed his power in that attack. If he hadn't done that, your entire sternum would have been shattered. Protective gear can't withstand such terrifying force. See for yourself."

The referee had just removed the abdominal armor from his protective gear, and when Hattori Heiji looked down, he was startled.

On the armor plate on the abdomen of the protective gear, there was an indentation, as if it had been stamped out, a round indentation, just like the handle of a bamboo knife.

Hattori Heiji stuck out his tongue: "That was close! If that monster had really unleashed its power, I'd probably be carried out by now. That was close!"

Kazuha, standing to the side, was extremely annoyed and glared fiercely at Miyazaki Yu, who could only smile.

After Hattori Heiji stood up, he raised his fist at Miyazaki Hayao and gave him a thumbs up.

"Miyazaki Yu, you're really amazing. It seems I lost this time, but I'm sure I can win next time!"

Hearing Miyazaki Yu's defiant words, Miyazaki Yu simply smiled.

"Your strength is not bad, but you still won't win next time, because as long as I'm here, victory will only belong to me!"

After being a high school student for a while, Miyazaki Yu couldn't help but act a bit childish. After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh a few times before turning around and returning to the Teitan High School team.

At this moment, the entire arena erupted in excitement.

"That's amazing! This Miyazaki Yu is really incredible. Even a powerful guy like Hattori Heiji is so weak and helpless in his hands."

"Yes, yes, the bamboo sword in his hands is like a fluttering butterfly. It is not only incredibly powerful, but also extremely beautiful and exquisite!"

"What's even more remarkable is that each of his attacks is like waves crashing on the sea, leaving no room to dodge or avoid. Coupled with his ghostly speed, it's simply a feast for the eyes!"

Both on and off the field, everyone was captivated by Miyazaki Yu's exquisite swordsmanship, and couldn't help but erupt in cheers.

The students of Teitan High School couldn't help but shout at this moment.

Even Xiaolan couldn't help but clap loudly. Miyazaki Yu's move just now was absolutely brilliant, and everyone couldn't help but cheer.

"Hehe, I knew Miyazaki would win. That Hattori Heiji is no match for him!"

Sonoko looked smug, and Ran could only smile helplessly.

"Sonoko, Hattori is great too, but Koyu is just too strong. I've never seen such dazzling swordsmanship before. It seems I really need to have him give me some special training."

Sonoko asked in confusion, "Special training? But you practice karate, and he practices kendo. They shouldn't be related, right?"

Xiaolan said with a serious expression, "It does seem that way, but it's not actually like that. In any highly competitive match, the methods of exerting force and the fighting techniques are all similar."

As you just saw, his strength is simply too great. Hattori Heiji's attacks were ineffective, but one of his attacks could completely incapacitate his opponent. This is exactly in line with the essence of karate.

Sonoko thought for a moment and then her eyes lit up.

"Yes, the same principle applies to tennis. In order to learn tennis well, I hired a professional tennis coach. The coach taught me the most about the technique of generating power."

He broke down all the movements in a tennis match and then had me train each of the individual movements little by little.

You know what, my tennis skills have really improved a lot. If I could get guidance from Miyazaki and master even more advanced power generation techniques, my skills would improve even more.”

That's true. In fact, for many sports to improve, the best coaches never just train the sport itself.

A basketball coach doesn't just have his players play basketball, and a soccer coach doesn't just have his players play soccer all the time; he takes everything apart.

Basketball coaches train players on how to pass, how to lay up, how to dribble, and even use boxing training to train specific muscle groups in certain players—they are that detailed!

Once you've mastered all of these skills, you'll be invincible on the field.

This is similar to cultivating the Golden Bell Shield technique. You need to train your entire body to strike and eliminate any weaknesses, otherwise they will become your Achilles' heel.

The purpose of training in a completely disorganized manner is to eliminate all weaknesses.

While the two girls were chatting enthusiastically, Shinichi Kudo was caught in an unprecedented dilemma.

With the help of the police, he reviewed the information on the deceased, Maki Kawashima, but the more he read, the more troubled he became.

This guy is a typical gangster who has done many despicable things for money.

He was involved in all sorts of bad things, including coercion, intimidation, kidnapping, and extortion.

He was even linked to several murders, which shocked the police. This guy really deserved to die.

But regardless of the deceased's character, as police officers, it is their job to find the real culprit and bring him to justice.

However, such complex social relationships and countless enemies have shrouded this case in mystery, making it far from enough to find the real culprit through mere deduction.

Finding the real culprit requires extensive investigation and interviews, as well as eliminating possibilities one by one, which is not a task that a detective can accomplish alone.

Chapter 58 Two Great Detectives Join Forces (3rd Update)

This is a real case from the real world.

Complex interpersonal relationships and a vast social circle are already complicated enough. If you add in the difficult-to-crack methods of committing crimes, it is enough to make a case extremely perplexing.

With no motive, suspects, method, evidence, or murder weapon found, it's only a matter of time before the case becomes a cold case.

Such cases are extremely difficult for the police.

For Shinichi Kudo, who is used to multiple-choice questions and likes to choose between three or four options, this is a nightmare.

"what--"

He rubbed his head vigorously; a whole day had passed, and he still had no clue.

"How come this guy has such complicated relationships? He has enemies everywhere, and everyone wishes he were dead. He's a real scumbag!"

At this moment, this drum washing machine also fell into the vast sea of ​​information about Wang Yang.

"It seems this case is not simple; even you are stumped."

A sudden voice rang out, and Shinichi Kudo, who was engrossed in the pile of old papers, hurriedly looked up and saw a dark-skinned boy looking at him with a grin. It was Heiji Hattori.

"So it was yours. Weren't you participating in the competition? Shouldn't it be your turn now?"

Hattori Heiji curled his lip: "My match is over. That Miyazaki Yu is just too abnormal. My strength is among the top in high school students, but I lost to him without much of a chance to fight back."

Since we've already lost, and lost badly at that, even if I don't say anything, it'll definitely spread everywhere. So I might as well just say it.

There's nothing shameful about the reaction; that guy is destined to shine this time.

Losing to an unknown player is a disgrace, but losing to the champion is a different story.

Shinichi Kudo was slightly taken aback. Although he had only just met this guy, he could smell a familiar scent about him.

He knew that this was also a guy with a strong competitive spirit, whose pride was no less than his own.

Now that they've so readily admitted defeat, it's definitely not just a defeat of falling behind by a move or two, but a crushing defeat with almost no chance of fighting back!

Is Miyazaki Yu really that strong?

At this moment, Hattori Heiji was clearly not in the mood to discuss these things. He simply sat down and began to examine the documents on the table.

This is the Metropolitan Police Department's office building. Shinichi Kudo was able to come here with Inspector Megure's tacit approval, while Heiji Hattori was able to come here naturally because of his father, the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.

The police in Kyoto, of course, knew that this high-ranking official's detective son, so they didn't make things difficult for him and let him in.

"Why is there so much information? Kudo, since you don't have any leads right now, why don't you tell me about the case first? That way I can save time looking at the information."

Shinichi Kudo pouted: "You're really too familiar with people. You're a detective too, we're competitors, right? You're just asking me to tell you the case like this, aren't I at a disadvantage?"

Heiji Hattori knew how formidable this guy was. He had just lost the competition and didn't want to lose the deduction as well, that would be too embarrassing.

So if I can get information about the case from this guy, I can save a lot of time. You know, those police officers in Kyoto...

While they won't deliberately cause trouble, they also won't offer any help; this is an unspoken understanding within the police force.

Even in Osaka, which is Hattori Heiji's own territory, only Officer Otaki would help him unconditionally.

I've fallen far behind now. If I show weakness now and get some information out of them, we can be on the same level.

Shinichi Kudo, of course, saw through the other party's little scheme, but he didn't expose it, as it was indeed unfair. So he simply explained the current situation as it was known.

"What a bizarre case! The deceased left the house on his own, but his body was found to have returned to the house."

After learning many details of the case, Hattori Heiji fell into deep thought. The case seemed simple, but in reality, it was extremely complex.

"Is it possible that the deceased who left home yesterday was not actually the deceased himself?"

Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up as he spoke.

Shinichi Kudo's eyes widened as well: "That's right, just like Occam's Razor states, 'Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily,' and what is simple and effective may be the real thing! If we are to establish this idea now, it is true."

In other words, the person who left the house last night was not the deceased, but someone in disguise. This makes sense; someone used a false identity to enter the building, tricked the deceased into opening the door, and then committed the crime. However, there are still many suspicious points.

Hattori Heiji nodded and said, "This is the truly terrifying part. There are no signs of a struggle in the room, and nothing seems out of place. The cause of death has become the key clue to solving the case!"

Shinichi Kudo smiled slightly: "So I'm staying here to wait for the forensic report. I want to see what the cause of death really was!"

At this moment, Hattori Heiji also felt heavy-hearted.

Seeing that Shinichi Kudo was bogged down by a small case, I felt a bit of disdain for him.

However, after learning the full details of the case, I felt heavy-hearted.
