Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

As the door opened, more light squeezed into the dark space.

Matsumoto Akira took the lead, and Hattori Heiji and Okita Souji hurriedly followed.

This hall was in stark contrast to the previous one. The previous hall had only a few dim lights before the lights were turned on.

But it was fortunately because of these lights, otherwise they might not have been able to find each other.

Perhaps that is why those lights are left behind. Otherwise, if the people gathering here missed them because of the darkness, wouldn’t that be a big joke?

After all, you are the one who gathered these people together. If they don’t go according to your intention, there will definitely be certain losses in people’s livelihood.

Even if they exist as villains in this world, villains still have a reputation.

No matter whether you do good or bad things, you have a certain need for reputation. After all, no one wants there to be minions in any place who dare to jump out and talk to them.

The hall was bright and spacious. As soon as Matsumoto Akira and his companions arrived here, they saw a lot of people sitting in the front waiting for them.

"It's coming so fast!"

Seeing Matsumoto Akira and the others coming in, the leader immediately smiled and drew out his sword.

The others seemed to understand the situation as well and drew their swords. It was obvious that they were all masters of kendo.

Judging from the momentum alone, each one of them is stronger than Hattori Heiji, or even Okita Souji.

Ordinary small forces cannot gather so many masters, so is there really a big organization behind the scenes?

Matsumoto Akira remained unmoved and silently drew out his sword, but did not pull it out directly.

However, Hattori Heiji and Okita Souji expressed their full doubts about his action.

Their weapons are the swords that have accompanied them along the way. They have been with them all the way and have never given up despite going through many things.

When Matsumoto Akira saw them, the swords were in their hands, but when they saw Matsumoto Akira, Matsumoto Akira didn't have the sword in his hand.

Where is this sword?

Although they were a little confused, Hattori Heiji and Okita Souji knew that this was not the right time to say such things, so they could only patiently cooperate with Matsumoto Akira and draw their weapons.

"So you have weapons with you, too! That's great! We don't have to give you any more weapons!"

The leader did not show any displeasure when he noticed that Matsumoto Akira also had a weapon in his hand. Instead, he threw the other sword next to him aside as if he was relieved.

Although the people above also said that it was okay to bully the unarmed, they had met a master after all, so they would not unite to beat up an unarmed person.

So when he discovered that Matsumoto Akira didn't seem to be carrying any weapons, he prepared a sword. He didn't expect that the other party was not without weapons, but had prepared them, but they were well hidden.

Fortunately, this has no impact. It can be said that this is a relief for them.

After all, they had prepared backup weapons for Matsumoto Akira from the beginning, so if it really didn't work, they could use their weapons.

However, it is better to use Matsumoto Akira's own weapons. After all, his own weapons are the most convenient to use.

After all, the gap between one's own weapons and the weapons used temporarily is quite obvious.

Matsumoto Akira turned around and glanced at the two people behind him, "I'll remind you again, take care of yourself!"

Hattori Heiji and Okita Souji nodded, and a fierce battle broke out again.

Matsumoto Akira enjoyed the experience of using such moves without having to use excessive strength, and this kind of duel allowed him to rapidly increase his experience.

After all, those here are all kendo masters, and each of them has extraordinary aura, but it’s a pity that there is no swordsman-level figure.

So for Matsumoto Akira, the most he could do was to gain some experience in terms of fighting techniques.

But even so, it is enough. After all, there are so many people gathered here, and if one person can make a little progress, it is enough to accumulate.

You can't get such treatment anywhere else. No matter what, at least I have to do this favor.

The battle lasted a very short time, mainly because Matsumoto Akira was very efficient. It didn't take long before Matsumoto Akira was the only one left standing there.

At this moment, even Okita Souji and Hattori Heiji were both down. Although because of Matsumoto Akira's performance, the people here did not have much energy to deal with them.

But who can blame the fact that everyone here is so strong? There's no need to even surround and fight one-on-one.

It was enough to make Okita Souji and Hattori Heiji, who were already in a weak state, fall down directly.

After all, if you are in a weak state and face an enemy of equal strength, it would definitely be a very painful thing.

Unless you can make a breakthrough in a desperate situation, it is basically impossible to turn defeat into victory.

It’s a pity that neither Hattori Heiji nor Okita Souji were able to do it. After all, both of them have made great progress.

Even if you want to have a temporary breakthrough, the possibility is very small. After all, your previous progress has been great enough and your previous accumulation has been used up.

Unless you plan to cheat directly, it will not be easy to make another step forward.

Although Matsumoto Akira has not made any significant progress, it is impossible for him to have an explosive growth.

But the gap in strength was real, so he dealt with these opponents very easily.

"This strength is simply a joke. After all these years, this is the first time I have met a genius like you!"

“Maybe it’s just like you said before, you’ve met many geniuses, but they all call you a genius!”

The man who had taken the lead before sat on the ground and looked at Matsumoto Akira with a wry smile.

Matsumoto Akira's strength improved too quickly and too strongly. According to the information they received, Matsumoto Akira had only studied kendo for a very short time.

As a result, he was able to achieve such a huge breakthrough in such a short period of time, and even reached the level of swordsman that they had never reached.

For people like them, this can be said to be quite disappointing. After all, they were once called geniuses.

"Why do I feel like you two are familiar to me? I remember you were once the champion of the National High School Kendo Competition!"

After Hattori Heiji struggled to stand up, he seemed to have thought of something in a trance, and spoke loudly to the middle-aged man in the lead.

"That's right, but my time was too early for you. It's really hard for you to remember me!"

The leading man looked at Hattori Heiji with some surprise, even though live television broadcasts had already become popular during the era of top competitions.

But when it comes to interviewing high school students across the country and seeing competitions, there aren’t that many resources invested.

Therefore, the resources that have been preserved are actually quite few, and the quality of newspapers at that time was not very good.

Therefore, he thought that his identity was actually quite confidential, or it could not be considered confidential at all, and it could be easily found out if someone really wanted to check.

But unless you have deliberately investigated before, under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for others to recognize your identity if they meet you.

I didn't expect that under such circumstances, I could still be recognized directly by Hattori Heiji. What is going on?

"This is also a coincidence!"

Hattori Heiji scratched the back of his head, "I heard my father talk about some things in the past, because my father once became the champion of the National High School Students Competition when he was in high school!"

"So that's it, Inspector Hattori?" The middle-aged man nodded in understanding after hearing the news about Hattori Heizo, the chief of the Osaka Police Headquarters.

If it is the influence of parents, it is quite normal to collect some information on it.

What's more, when he became the high school kendo champion, it was not long before Hattori Heizo became the high school kendo champion.

If we really have to be picky, we can say that the other person and I are of the same age group, or from the same era.

As long as the young man Hattori Heiji looks up his father's experiences when he was young, he can easily notice himself.

After all, his father and the other's father were very close, and even some encyclopedias would mention these things when introducing them.

"That's a bit strange. I remember you joined the police force later, didn't you?"

Hattori Heiji's eyes became sharp, and after getting the other party's confirmation, he also confirmed the other party's identity.

But the other party, like his father, later joined the Metropolitan Police Department.

Moreover, I haven't heard any news of him leaving the company over the years. Of course, it is also possible that I just didn't notice it.

But a retired police officer shouldn't join such an organization, right? !

and many more!

Hattori Heiji suddenly thought that, in fact, even for the police in this country, it was not strange to do these things.

After all, everyone has a bit of paranoia to a certain extent, especially some people who are too upright.

Sometimes, excessive integrity can lead to a series of accidents or tragedies.

This has happened many times in the past, and the Metropolitan Police Department wanted to change the situation, but unfortunately, after trying many methods, it failed to change the situation.

After a slight hesitation, Hattori Heiji asked with some confusion.

"Could this be an arrangement by the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Although it is possible that the other party left the police and joined other organizations, it is relatively more likely that the Metropolitan Police Department made the arrangement.
