Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 122 Osaka Double Mystery (2)

"Great! We're in the top four, so we have a chance to win..."

Yuanshan Heye waved his fist excitedly and said happily.

She really wanted to see Kaikata High School win the championship, but of course she wanted even more to see her childhood sweetheart and the person she liked, Hattori Heiji, win the competition.

Unfortunately, things did not go as smoothly as she expected. On the other hand, the conversation between the two attracted Hattori Heiji's attention and aroused his detective intuition.

"You mean Tarimi, really...?" "Well, I don't know if he's still breathing, but he's covered in blood...!"

Hattori Heiji quickly stepped forward and asked, "Where is he...?"

The fat man who had spoken earlier looked bewildered. He immediately raised his voice and sternly shouted, "I'm asking you where he is. Do you hear me?"

After learning the whereabouts of the victim, he rushed out without stopping, ready to go to the scene to confirm it. However, when he arrived at the place, he found that the equipment room that should have been the crime scene was empty except for the original equipment, and there was no so-called blood-covered person.

As the police were brought over by the remaining two so-called friends of Tsujimi, the real NPC responsible for giving the hint also made a brilliant appearance. She was a front desk staff member. She revealed that the crime scene was the locker room next to the swimming pool.

When everyone arrived at the locker room, they found Takanashi leaning against the wall in the misty shower room, being rinsed by hot water, with a samurai sword leaning against him, and he was obviously unconscious.

After completing a simple on-site cleaning, the police guarded the scene and waited for support from the hall. Hattori Heiji walked out, wondering how the deceased Tarimi got here...

Just at this moment, Yuanshan Heye ran over from a distance and gave him a shot of cardiac stimulant, which directly stimulated his fighting spirit. He even ignored the competition and wanted to solve the case before the good gay man and the good big brother arrived.

Hattori Heiji's efforts paid off as he ran around and found out how the body was transported to the locker room. Just after he dealt with the murder suspect who came to threaten him, a phone call came in that he didn't want to receive at the moment.

"Hey, Heiji, we're almost there! Uncle didn't want to wait for the bus, so we took a taxi straight here...!"

When he heard Hua Lantian's voice inside, he was shocked. It was too late to get ahead of him. Suddenly, he had an idea and finally knew the truth. Then he asked a question and ran back to the warehouse.

After a while, Hua Lantian's family and Maori's family arrived at the venue. From Kazuha who came to greet them, Hua Lantian learned that Heiji had been missing for a long time. He made an excuse and ran away.

He walked to a place where they could not see him, and then stopped a passerby to ask for directions. After all, he did not want to miss the battle between Hattori Heiji and Okita Souji. How could he let a criminal ruin this great opportunity?

After learning the specific direction, Hua Lantian walked to the warehouse without stopping. As soon as he arrived at the warehouse, he saw Xiao Hei wearing protective gear and rummaging through things.

“Mr. Kotegawa…! What are you doing…!”

A word awakened Xiao Hei, Mr. Kotegawa. Before Kotegawa could react, Hua Lantian stabbed him unconscious, then looked into the dark corner.

"Heiji, come out and go to the competition. I'll tell Officer Otaki the rest...!"

“What the…?!!! Brother Lantian…! A competition…?!!”
