Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

Hattori Heiji's expression became even more gloomy.

"If it's true, it means that this world has become something we are completely unfamiliar with."

Looking at Edogawa Conan's excited expression, Hattori Heiji was confused for a moment, but still took out his cell phone to ask his old friend for information.

Even if the information is top secret within the police.

While waiting for information, looking at the restless Edogawa Conan, Hattori Heiji suddenly felt disillusioned with his dream.

If mystical things and super powers appear one after another, then what is the meaning of detectives' existence...

Otherwise, you should stop arguing with your dad and just change your dream. Follow your dad's steps and become a superintendent of police step by step.

Conan Edogawa had no idea that his good friend was quietly suffering from mental exhaustion at the moment. He was so excited that he had once again caught the tail of the mysterious world that he couldn't wait to find all the clues about the mysterious serial murders in Inaba City, and then take the clues to confront Shirakari Naoto head-on, who was suspected to be involved with the other side of the world.

Thirty-three High School Detective's Koshien (Part 3)

"...Isn't this a bit too much?" Hayasaka Ai, who was squatting on a branch of a tree on the hillside and spying on the hotel cabin with a telescope, turned her head to look at Taichi who was holding the same telescope on the branch on the other side of the tree trunk and asked, "Girls are changing clothes, but we are here spying with telescopes..."

Taiyi glanced at her speechlessly.

"Didn't you pay attention to the tilt angle of my telescope and the final point of my sight?"

"Go figure out for yourself who I was looking at just now!"

It's outrageous, if Goro Akechi's room hadn't been arranged right below Naoto Shirakami's room, would he have to bear such an unjust crime?

Moreover, although Bai Zhong Zhidou has a good figure, it cannot be compared with the women in his harem.

They are not even in the same league.

Is it worth him using a telescope to spy on it?

Hanging the telescope on a nail wedged in the tree trunk, Taichi waved to Hayasaka Ai.

Hayasaka Ai didn't hesitate and directly handed over the guitar case behind her.

Taiyi squatted on a branch to steady his body, opened the guitar case, revealing the various parts of the sniper rifle inside, and reached out to take out the parts and assemble them.

"Lord Taichi." Just when Taichi was considering whether he should ask Hayasaka Ai for an assembly instruction manual, Hayasaka Ai suddenly spoke.

"What's the matter?" Tai asked without even raising his head.

"Is that Shirakawa Naoto also a member of the Phantom Thieves?" Hayasaka Ai asked tentatively.

"I'm sorry, I guessed wrong." Taichi looked up and glanced at Hayasaka Ai, then replied, "Perhaps it was because of her somewhat legendary detective career that gave you the wrong impression."

"In fact, there is no connection between Baekjong Naoto and the members of the Phantom Thieves. Naturally, she herself has no connection with the Phantom Thieves either."

"I see, that's true..." Hayasaka Ai herself didn't know what to say at this moment.

"One more thing, don't play tricks on detectives. Those detectives are very dirty and you can't beat them." Taiyi reminded, "That's why I specifically reminded you not to get close to that hotel when we first landed on this uninhabited island."

"Perhaps a small flaw would be enough to prove some of their suspicions. They might even have the leisure to open a drama class for you so that you would take the bait and step onto the criminal's big stage."

"Is it so weird?" Hayasaka Ai murmured as she shrank her neck.

But this suspicion was put to rest when she recalled the detectives' resumes.

What serious detective would have the opportunity to solve hundreds of unsolved cases in just a few years?

And he is a civilian detective who has nothing to do with the police.

It’s hard to say about other detectives, but Hayasaka Ai feels that the detectives in this small hotel are more or less tainted with metaphysics.

"Are we going to snipe Akechi Goro here?" Hayasaka Ai looked at Taichi and asked again, "Will this really work?"

"Who knows?" Taiyi responded with feigned insecurity, "Anyway, it's better to give it a shot to test the waters."

As for the murder that was about to happen in this small hotel, Taiyi said that he had no intention of interfering.

After all, neither Tokitsu Junya nor Koshimizu Nanatsuki are actually innocent.

The former knows he is wrong but refuses to correct it, and doesn't even have the courage to admit it.

And the latter...bullies the weak and fears the strong.

After all, the reason why her maid friend died was essentially because the incompetent police in Hokkaido listened to Tokitsu Junya and failed to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the scene and conduct a formal interrogation of the suspect. As a result, the friend of Mizuguchi Kana and Koshimizu Nanatsuki was forced by the evil police to the point of mental collapse and committed suicide.

Is it the time to enjoy the fresh air?

This is a clown.

At most, he could only be considered as the indirect cause of Kana Mizuguchi being interrogated in this way.

But the real culprit was the Hokkaido police.

Even the reports slandering the suspect Kana Mizuguchi as the "murderer" were made up by the Hokkaido police themselves because they felt guilty.

As a result, Nanatsuki Koshimizu did not dare to cause trouble for the Hokkaido police, but instead went to find trouble with a third-rate detective who had no say in the judicial system.

Taichi didn't think that Nanatsuki Koshimizu would not think of this.

Then why didn't she go to the Hokkaido police who were responsible for the entire tragedy, but instead went to Tokatsu Junya and a few others?

It’s just that the former is a big organization and she doesn’t dare to look for it.

But the latter is a lone ranger with no background, and it is easy for him to do it.

……

In the scope, Akechi Goro had already changed into his student uniform and was measuring his mistakes in front of the mirror.

He had no idea that death was coming.

Biu——

The distinctive sound of the silencer made Taichi feel tingling in his ears.

The aftereffect of the shooting also caused Taiyi to lose his sight through the scope for a moment.

When he looked over again, he saw Goro Akechi covering his arm and dodging in the corner in embarrassment.

"It didn't hit the vital point." Hayasaka Ai reminded.

"Okay, stop squatting." Taiyi immediately dismantled the gun and reminded, "It's time for us to leave."

"Aren't you going to continue?" Hayasaka Ai looked at Taichi in surprise and asked.

"No chance." Taiyi shook his head and replied.

Although Hayasaka Ai didn't know, Taichi knew clearly that Goro Akechi was no longer in the room.

He has already sneaked into the impression space to escape through the different world navigation APP.

Well, Himiko's almost prophetic ability is indeed useful.

"Although the silencer is still somewhat effective, the shattering of the glass and the screams of Goro Akechi when he was shot are enough to attract the attention of the detectives in that room." Taichi reminded, "It's only a matter of time before they come here."

"Remember to clear the rear and don't let anyone grab you by the hair."

Taichi gave instructions to Hayasaka Ai after jumping down from the tree.

When it comes to cleanup work, Hayasaka Ai is professional.

So Taiyi felt relieved to leave it to her.

While the detectives in the hotel were in a mess, Taichi had already leisurely returned to the camping site that he and Hayasaka Ai had set up earlier.

……

"It's a sniper bullet." After digging out the ballistic trajectory that was deeply embedded in the wall and taking out the bullet that was still stained with blood, Bai Zhong Zhidou just glanced at it and shook his head with a grim expression.

"How could it be... There are sniper rifles on this uninhabited island... Hey! Aren't we here to participate in a show? How could we encounter something like this!" Tokatsu Junya grabbed Tsuchio Hiroo's collar in frustration and shouted, "Quickly call out the real murderer behind the scenes!"

Hattori and Conan squatted on the ground and checked the blood spilled on the ground, but no matter how they looked, the blood disappeared in the corner of the wall.

But the window was indeed locked from the inside.

So the question is... where did Goro Akechi disappear to?

Chapter 34: High School Detective's Koshien (Part 4)

The detectives split up.

Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan, who like to act recklessly, judged the sniper angle by the broken observation window and the inclination angle of the bullet, and roughly locked the place where the sniper might be hiding. Then they rushed out of the hotel and ran towards the target location without saying a word.

They didn't think at all about what would happen if they so recklessly went to search for a villain with a sniper rifle.

The terrified Tokitsu Junya grabbed the collar of the fake director Tsuchio Hiroo and demanded with a ferocious face that he call out the real organizer of the action.

The calm and collected detective Shiraishi Naoto looked around, trying to find any trace of Goro Akechi.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who had a gloomy face and lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking because his plan had been ruined, silently turned his gaze to Tsuchio Hiroo and Tokitsu Junya who were still fighting.

A new scapegoat has appeared, and it seems that she no longer needs to strictly follow her own plan.

However, she did not expect that someone would be so reckless as to not take any measures at all and just run out to look for the sniper detective.

What on earth is that guy named Hattori Heiji thinking about writing?

……

"Hey, Kudo, are we really going to look for snipers in a place like this?" After running out, Hattori Heiji realized how reckless his behavior was and wanted to retreat. But when he saw Edogawa Conan, who had successfully made a detour to the sniper point not far ahead and was trying hard to investigate the target's location, he was still unwilling to say openly that he was going back.

"There's no signal here, so we can't call the police even if we want to." Edogawa Conan put his hands in his pockets and replied, "If we continue to stay in that hotel, we'll be like turtles in a jar, waiting to be liquidated one by one."

"If we take the initiative, maybe we can still have some chance of survival."

"But he may also be the next target to die." Hattori Heiji sighed speechlessly, "Don't make your impulsive style of doing things sound so upright."

The first person to run out of the hotel was Conan Edogawa.

Hattori Heiji chased after him because he was worried about his safety.

"Well, having those guys to attract the sniper's attention will also make our investigation more convenient."

"By the way, you should have noticed it, Kudo." Hattori Heiji's face darkened and he reminded solemnly, "In that hotel..."

"Lavender is everywhere." Edogawa Conan completed the sentence, "If nothing unexpected happens, we should have encountered an incident again... not a prank."

"Speaking of lavender, what can you think of?" Hattori Heiji asked while looking for suspicious places around him with his eyes.

"...As for lavender, the only thing I can think of is the 'Lavender Room Murder Case' that happened in Shikoku a year ago." Edogawa Conan thought for a moment and gave an answer, "I heard that the young lady who was killed in the room was initially diagnosed as suicide, but six months later, it was suddenly changed to homicide."

"To be honest, I did a little research on the case because I thought it was suspicious."

"What's the result?" Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows and asked Edogawa Conan.

"It was suicide." Edogawa Conan pouted and replied, "The newspaper did not publish the name of the high school detective at the time. I'm afraid it was because the high school detective had discovered that his reasoning was completely untenable and caused the innocent maid to commit suicide. He didn't have the courage to admit his mistake, so he deliberately concealed it."

"In other words, this so-called high school detective's Koshien..."

"Ah, it should be that the maid's family or friends deliberately did it to help her get revenge." Edogawa Conan nodded in agreement, "The purpose is to find out who the confused detective is."

"So, the confused detective is Goro Akechi?" Hattori Heiji asked, "That's why he was sniped."

"No, it shouldn't be him." Edogawa Conan shook his head and replied, "The fact that the police could overturn their previous conclusions because of a small trick six months later shows that the high school student detective at that time had already made a certain reputation in the police world, and Akechi Goro, at that time, did not have the reputation that the police could trust to overturn their previous conclusions without conducting an investigation."

"Most importantly, Goro Akechi's sphere of activity has always been Tokyo."

"So, this uninhabited island incident is two incidents happening at the same time."

"One is the incident where Goro Akechi was sniped."

"The other one was a revenge follow-up to the Lavender Room murder case."

"This really... makes my blood boil." Although his forehead was covered with cold sweat, Hattori Heiji still forced himself to cheer up.

"Found it." Edogawa Conan suddenly stopped under a tree.

"Did you find anything?" Hattori Heiji walked over quickly and took a closer look.

"…the angle of the grass' tilt?"

"Yeah." Edogawa Conan nodded and replied, "Although the other party cleaned up the scene very carefully, the toughness of the grass is not so easy to overcome."

"He was trampled heavily... and jumped down from the tree?" Hattori Heiji looked up at the tree in front of him in astonishment, "Really? Snipe from a tree? Is it possible to do that?"

"Hattori, please climb up and observe the condition of the branches." Edogawa Conan urged his friend.

"Why not you go." Although he knew that Edogawa Conan's body shape was not convenient for climbing trees, Hattori Heiji was still a little nervous about climbing a tree rashly under such circumstances.
