Xiaolan, Ye and others were chatting with the police outside, while Chu Ming and Conan stayed in the ward watching Hattori.

"Don't pretend to be asleep. I just saw your eyelids twitching." Chu Ming sat on the chair beside the bed and shouted to Hattori unhappily, "Don't worry, Kazuha and the others are out. It's just Conan and I here. Don't be afraid of losing face in front of Kazuha."

Upon hearing this, Conan also looked at Hattori, and saw Hattori's eyelashes moving slightly on the hospital bed. Then he squinted his eyes to confirm that there were only Conan and Chu Ming in the ward, and then he opened his eyes with relief.

Facing the teasing looks from Chu Ming and Conan, his face turned red and he couldn't help but defend himself, "I didn't mean it. I was just pretending to be asleep just now because I was afraid that He Ye would hug me and cry again after seeing me wake up! Otherwise, I wouldn't have closed my eyes..."

He didn't care whether Chu Ming and the others believed him or not. He threw back the quilt, put on his clothes quickly, and changed the subject: "Let's go. The murderer went out last night. Now we can ask the suspects for their alibis and see if we can rule out a few people."

"But your injury..." Conan was a little worried, "Why don't you just lie down, and Brother Chu Ming and I will check it out."

How could Hattori agree to let his two good friends investigate a case outside while he lies bored in bed waiting?

"No, I've confronted the murderer before, maybe I can figure out something! Come on, are they still at the door?"

Chu Ming shook his head: "No, they are probably sending Officer Shiratori and the others out. If you want to leave, then go now, or they will be back soon."

Conan tugged at Chu Ming's clothes anxiously: "Brother Chu Ming, this won't work. Hattori is still injured! What if he faints again on the way? Can't the two of us go?"

"Can you persuade him?" Chu Ming asked back, "Hatsunobi will never agree. It's better for the two of us to follow him. If anything happens, we can send him back to the hospital in time. Besides, if it were you, you probably wouldn't be able to stay in bed. You are all the king of curlers."

Conan was silent, it seemed to be true.

In the end, the three of them avoided Xiaolan and the others and quietly slipped away through the side door of the hospital.

Chu Ming drove the third car he had bought and took the two of them to Sanno Temple. Several clients had entrusted Maori Kogoro to find the Buddha statue. At present, there was no news about the whereabouts of the Buddha statue, so everyone would still meet at Sanno Temple during the day, so that Chu Ming and his companions wouldn't have to run around everywhere.

On the way, Hattori took out the cloth bag containing the keepsake of his first love from his pocket, and thought: "That masked man... wanted to pick up my cloth bag the moment it fell. Why?"

Conan took the bag and opened it, and looked at the crystal beads inside again. Suddenly he thought of something, and nudged Hattori with a wicked smile: "You said, that old man in the mask, could it be your first love~"

Hattori widened his eyes and glared at Conan: "What kind of weird guess is this? You know it's impossible!"

Chu Ming teased him while driving: "How is it impossible? Otherwise, why would he be so excited to see this? Emmm - but it is also possible that your first love is the old man's daughter, and he found out that his daughter's personal belongings were kept by a rascal. As an old father, he was so angry that he came to find you~"

Conan chuckled, thinking it made sense, and gave a thumbs-up.

Hattori, on the other hand, refused to accept the offer. His face showed you were talking nonsense, and he retorted without any confidence, "That's not the case. However, I think this crystal bead may have some other use. When I was looking for my first love in a magazine, the photo I took was of me holding the crystal bead. I guess the murderer came looking for me after seeing the photo..."

The louder he spoke, the more he thought he might have found the truth.

"So, this isn't actually the item that brought you and your first love together~" Chu Ming gloated, "No wonder your first love hasn't come to see you until today, it turns out you got the wrong token. But when the Medicine Buddha statue in Shanneng Temple was lost, you also picked it up in Shanneng Temple, and now someone is chasing you, it seems that the crystal bead you picked up is related to the Medicine Buddha statue."

Hattori and Conan also began to slowly talk about their own reasoning...

……

When they arrived at Sannoji Temple, the three of them were discussing alibis with several suspects when Chiga Ling came to visit.

When Conan asked several people if anyone could shoot arrows, they all denied it. However, after they denied it, Nishijo Taiga revealed that he could shoot arrows while he was kneeling, and Conan and Hattori saw it.

The so-called preference of the world's will is nothing more than this.

After chatting, several people stood up and prepared to leave.

Chiga Ling happened to be going the same way as them. During the conversation, Chiga Ling inadvertently sang part of the song that Hattori remembered, which made Hattori look at her in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

Conan saw that Hattori's eyes were wide open, and he felt something was wrong. He could only ask himself: "Sister, what song did you just sing?"

Qian Heling smiled and said, "This is a song that everyone here can sing. It is a ball song that lists all the streets in Kyoto from north to south. Children in Kyoto use this to remember place names."

After that, he sang the song to a few people impromptu, and Hattori continued to ask about Chiga Suzu's age. After knowing that she was 19 years old this year, Hattori was more certain that she was his first love. He felt like he was dreaming back to the past and saw the scene he saw in the window of Sannoji Temple.

Until Chiga Ling said goodbye and left, Hattori was still staring at her back in a daze.

Chu Ming looked at Hattori and patted him: "Come back to your senses, you don't think she is your first love, do you?"

Hattori was full of confidence: "No doubt, she is from Kyoto, 19 years old, two years older than me, it must be her!"

Chu Ming secretly suppressed his laughter, wake up, don't do this kind of white bird behavior, don't admit the wrong first love, it's enough to have a white bird in the world of science, don't collide with the character setting!!!

Conan also advised him: "But she also said that all the children in Kyoto can sing this song. Do you want to be more careful..."

Hattori turned a deaf ear to what the people around him were saying, completely immersed in his own thoughts. He clenched his fists and was extremely excited: "Great, I finally got to see her. She doesn't look at all like what I imagined, but it doesn't matter, I..."

Hattori talked a lot, leaving no room for Chu Ming and Conan to interrupt. Conan and Chu Ming looked at each other, looking at this straight man who was still caught in a dream bubble, and couldn't help but sigh at the same time. They could only drag Hattori back one by one.

When they drove back to Sannoji Temple and just entered through the side door, Hattori looked at the petals of the cherry tree falling down and the fallen flowers on the ground from the door, feeling a little dazed.

The tree is still the same tree, but the person who appeared in his dream that year is gone.

"Last year in this gate today, the peach blossoms on the faces of the people were red. The faces of the people don't know where to go, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze."

Chu Ming felt that he could be a voice substitute. Doesn’t this poem perfectly describe Hattori’s inner feelings?

Or maybe my Chinese is profound and extensive.

However, it seems that Hattori has been looking for a confession place? This place is not bad. It is the place where he and Kazuha first met, and it is also the place with the deepest memory in his mind.

Yes, after Hattori finds out who his first love is, he will give Hattori some advice.
