Conan: The Heart Thief

"Just leave it to Conan."

Ran Mouri grabbed Conan and threw him into the men's restroom.

"Go ahead. Conan!"

"Sister Xiaolan, don't be so rude!"

Conan fell down, but fortunately Conan is resistant to falling and is fine even after falling from a height of dozens of meters.

Conan searched for Hattori Heiji in every room and actually found Hattori Heiji.

I saw Hattori Heiji sitting on the toilet, meditating quietly with his eyes closed.

"Hattori, what are you doing hiding here?"

Hattori Heiji opened his eyes: "Oh. It's Kudo. Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"No, Hattori. It's really embarrassing that you don't participate in the competition properly and hide in the toilet."

"It's a trick! I did it so I could beat that guy in the finals."

"That rascal?"

"It's Okita from Kyoto Izumi High School! Last year he used the five-stage thrust and injured me behind the ear. I must get my revenge this year."

"Then at least tell everyone. Everyone is worried about you."

"Kudou, are you worried about me too?"

"Well...worry."

After saying this, Conan blushed for no apparent reason.

"Okay. Since you came to see me, Kudo, I'll go back now."

As soon as Hattori Heiji and Conan walked out of the men's restroom, they heard someone say that a college student contestant had died in the shower room in the locker room next to the swimming pool at the Naniwa Central Gymnasium.

Hattori Heiji ran over like a mouse that found cheese, and did not forget to call Conan.

"Conan, let's go."

"Ok!"

Conan smiled and quickly followed.

Toyama Kazuha and Mao Lilan were left out by the two, both of them were upset with Hattori Heiji. He was the one who invited everyone to the stadium to watch the game, but this guy disappeared.

The two girls had no choice but to follow over to see what the two were up to.

The group arrived at the changing room of the swimming pool, where the police were already there, and the person in charge was Officer Otaki.

Seeing that it was an old acquaintance, Hattori Heiji immediately asked: "Officer Otaki, what exactly happened here?"

Officer Otaki immediately gave a brief account of what had happened.

A college student from Shinnai University who came to participate in a kendo competition, named Tarumi Atsushi, was killed. The body was found in a cubicle in the swimming pool locker room, and the murder weapon was one of the two real swords used in the sword-drawing demonstration today, which was found next to the deceased.

After listening to Officer Dalong's explanation, the two girls realized that a murder had occurred and looked at each other in surprise.

Mao Lilan pulled Conan up: "Conan, let's go back and watch the game. Don't mess with the police here."

Conan struggled desperately: "I don't want to? Brother Heiji, save me."

Hattori Heiji took Conan from Mao Lilan: "Ms. Mao Li, I will take care of Conan, you don't have to worry."

"Hehehe... Sister Xiaolan, you don't have to worry about me." Conan smiled silly and acted cute.

"Who's worried about you? I'm just afraid that you'll cause trouble for the police. You're just a kid, and you insist on intervening in criminal cases..."

Mao Lilan didn't understand Conan's behavior, but she didn't want to bother him. She turned her eyes to Toyama Kazuha and asked, "Kazuha, do you want to go back and watch the game?"

"No... I have a bad feeling. I'm worried. I want to stay..."

Toyama Kazuha wanted to stay, and Maori Ran didn't want to go back alone, so she stayed with Toyama Kazuha.

Chapter 214: Conan discovers Xiaolanxin's identity as a thief

Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha stayed at the scene. The two girls were unable to help and just stood there in a daze.

Look, Hattori Heiji and Conan, these two good partners run from left to right, from right to left...

Suddenly, Conan came back hurriedly alone.

"Officer Otaki, Brother Heiji has found the murderer and is confronting him in the gymnasium warehouse. You should quickly take people to capture the murderer." Conan was called by Hattori Heiji to inform Officer Otaki, and he stayed behind alone to confront the murderer to prevent him from escaping.

"What! Confronting the murderer in the warehouse! Isn't Heiji in danger?" Officer Otaki was horrified. Hattori Heiji is the son of the Metropolitan Superintendent, and he dare not let anything happen to him. He quickly led his men to the sports warehouse.

Seeing this, Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha hurried to follow.

At this moment, in the sports warehouse.

The confrontation between Hattori Heiji and the real murderer of this murder case, Shun Otegawa, has reached the point where they have to fight, or use knives!

In addition to the knife that killed the victim Tarumi, Otegawa Shun had another knife in his hand! Otegawa Shun planned to kill Hattori Heiji to silence him.

Hattori Heiji faced Kotegawa Jun, who was holding a weapon and had a distorted face. Fortunately, he had a first-rate reflex nerve. At the critical moment, he used the mobile phone in his hand to block the opponent's sharp blade! At the same time, he cursed: "Idiot! If you kill me here! You will have no room for quibbling!"

"Don't worry about it," said Otegawa Jun with a sinister smile, "The police will think that it was done by the same murderer! Since I couldn't move Tarimi's body, I'm no longer a suspect!"

"What a pity!" Along with this roar, a white light flashed, and the mobile phone in Hattori Heiji's hand broke!

The sound of "Dang!" was not the sound of the blade cutting in, but...

"what?"

Otegawa Shun stared blankly at the blade that was cutting into the wooden box in front of him.

With a "snap" sound, a dark and powerful hand tightly grasped the scabbard.

"Crash!" The broken cell phone and the amulet fell on the back of the knife.

No, the person in front of me also fell up!

Standing firmly with his feet one in front of the other, as if standing on a flat ground, Hattori Heiji put his left hand behind his back, and with his right hand, he lazily rested the scabbard on his shoulder, sneering: "You really picked the wrong opponent!"

"What?" Hattori Heiji's attitude was really irritating. Otegawa Jun gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but was attracted by the words on the name tag in front of him.

"Hattori..."

Kotegawa Shun was stunned. He looked at the dark-faced and heroic boy in front of him and stammered, "You, are you... the high school student who defeated the entire elite Osaka Prefectural Police by himself?"

Looking at the frightened face of Otegawa Jun, Hattori Heiji just smiled confidently and said, "You know it too late!"

As he said this, Hattori Heiji shouted loudly and slashed down with his sword.

However, Hattori Heiji used too much force and lost his balance, so he stumbled and fell to the ground.

The battle situation took an amazing turn. Otegawa Jun pointed his knife at the fallen Hattori Heiji and couldn't help but laugh triumphantly: "Hattori Heiji, you are nothing more than this!"

Hattori Heiji sat on the ground, struggling to deal with Kotegawa Shun who was launching multiple attacks on him.

With a "click" sound, Hattori Heiji found that the scabbard in his hand was cut into two pieces, "No way..."

"Heiji!"

Just then, others rushed to the gymnasium's warehouse.

Toyama Kazuha rushed over and saw Hattori Heiji in danger, and her heart was in her throat.

Hattori Heiji saw the group led by Officer Otaki in a flash. He smiled smugly and said, "The police are here too, just surrender."

Kotegawa Jun's eyes were red with anger, and he said coldly: "...It seems that I can't escape. In this case, I will drag you down with me, Hattori Heiji!"

Otegawa Shun chopped off Hattori Heiji's head with one sword...

"No!"

"what?!"

"Heiji——"

Heiji felt a chill in his heart, thinking, is this the end of it?

The scene seemed to be frozen, and it was too late for Mao Lilan to rescue her. In a moment of desperation, she threw out the business card of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

Entered the mental palace of Otegawa Jun.

"Phew... That was a close call. Looks like I made it in time."

Ran Mao Li entered the mind palace of Shun Otegawa.

Otegawa Jun's spiritual palace is a kendo hall, with Otegawa Jun standing on one side of the dojo and Mao Li Ran standing on the opposite side of the dojo.

"Are you my challenger?"

"Ah... no, I'm advising you to turn yourself in."

"Turn yourself in, yes, if you can defeat me."

Otegawa Jun took a kendo stance, but the sword in his hand was not a bamboo sword, but a sharpened Tang sword. The extremely sharp Tang sword could easily cut a man in two with one stroke.

"Wait a minute, I don't know how to use the sword!"

When Mao Lilan saw that Otegawa Jun was holding a sharp knife, she couldn't help but feel frightened.

"You can use any method you want, as long as you defeat me!"

Upon hearing that she didn't have to use kendo, Mao Lilan immediately calmed down and equipped herself with the personality mask of Joan of Arc.

Mao Lilan holds a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, and fights with Kotegawa Jun who holds a Tang sword in both hands!

An inch longer, an inch more dangerous. Mao Lilan's equipment advantage crushed Xiao Techuan Jun. Weapons such as Tang Dao were not suitable for frontal combat. Xiao Techuan Jun slashed at him with his sword. Mao Lilan used her left hand to hold the shield to dodge, and her right hand held the gun to penetrate Xiao Techuan Jun.

Because it was the Palace of the Mind, Mao Lilan had no psychological burden and "killed" Otegawa Shun easily.

However, Otegawa Jun is not so easy to deal with. He is in his mind palace, and a demon has been born in his mind palace.

Otegawa Jun raised his hand and pulled out the gun that pierced her, then merged with the devil and transformed into a magic sword puppet.

The puppet sword ghost is tall and made of a complex mechanical structure. It is surrounded by a dark blue sword energy, and every step it takes is accompanied by a slight tremor on the ground. Its eyes flash with a cold light, as if it can see into people's hearts. The two swords in its hands are extremely sharp, and every swing is accompanied by the roar of elemental power.

"Have you revealed your true form? I'm not afraid of you!"

Ran Mouri is equipped with the personality mask of Joan of Arc. She is full of confidence and is not afraid of the magic sword demon at all.

With a clear battle cry, Mao Lilan took the lead in launching an attack with the iris spear flag in hand. She flashed and rushed towards the magic puppet sword ghost like white lightning, her long spear cutting through the air, bringing up a series of dazzling lights. The magic puppet sword ghost let out a long roar, crossed his swords, and blocked Mao Lilan's attack.
