The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 188: The Crossroads of the Maze 3

"Well... you should call me Sister Xianghua." Fujiwara Xianghua looked at Conan, stretched out her hand to measure, and found that she was half a head taller than him, and felt a little proud.

She is a nine-year-old third-grade genius!

Just be a good little brother to me, a seven-year-old kid in the first grade!

Conan looked at her speechlessly.

"So how did you end up here?" Rin Chiyu opened a packet of anchovies and skillfully stuffed it into the mouth of Fujiwara Kaoru who was looking smug at the side, and asked the two detectives, one big and one small.

Hattori Heiji took off his baseball cap and rubbed his head: "Among the five victims, the takoyaki chef in Osaka was quite familiar to me..."

"Although he is a member of a thief group, I have often visited his store since junior high school and he has taken good care of me, so I want to find the murderer and avenge him."

"Because the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department took over the case, you think there will be further clues in Kyoto, right?" Rin Shakuha nodded to show that he understood.

"As for you, little brat, you were probably brought here by Mr. Maori after he received some commission?" He looked down at Conan.

Conan smiled obediently and showed the picture on his phone: "Since Hattori...brother is here for this, let's think about this puzzle together. It should be an important clue related to 'Genji Hotaru'. If we solve it, it may also help find the murderer."

"Rin-kun, do you want to come with us?" Hattori Heiji turned his head and asked. Although he was already very confident with the help of Kudo, it would definitely be more efficient with the addition of Rin Shakuha. He really wanted to find the murderer and bring him to justice.

Lin Chiyu thought for a moment and said, "I don't mind. The main thing is to accompany this little guy to play."

He leaned over and asked Fujiwara Kaoru's opinion.

"It sounds interesting. It's decided. The Kyoto Detective Team is officially established!" Fujiwara Kaka swallowed the anchovies she had struggled to chew, raised her little hand, and announced seriously.

Anyway, for her, success is as long as she doesn't go back to those boring classes.

"Since it's related to 'Genji Hotaru', then we can find something by searching places related to Yoshitsune, Benkei and others." Conan suggested, "But I'm not very familiar with Kyoto."

This was the most difficult part for him. This puzzle was obviously closely related to the local culture and legends of Kyoto, but he knew nothing about Kyoto and only knew a little about it from the history textbooks.

"I did come to Kyoto when I was a kid, but I can't say I'm familiar with it." Hattori Heiji didn't feel embarrassed, "It seems like I still have to go to the two of you who are more familiar with Kyoto."

Lin Chiyu nodded without refusing.

"But Kyoto is quite big. If you want to travel around, did you drive here?" As soon as he said this, he saw Conan and Hattori Heiji's strange expressions.

"Oh, I forgot you are still students..." He reacted quickly.

"No, that doesn't matter, but I did come here on a motorcycle, but it obviously can't accommodate four people," Hattori Heiji explained.

"It's okay, I'm just asking. If you don't have transportation, we can take a taxi, which will be more convenient. But since you came on a motorcycle..."

After Lin Chiyu pondered for a while, he felt a little addicted to riding a motorcycle. He hadn't ridden a motorcycle for several years.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

Not long after, someone from the Fujiwara family arrived on a BMW K-series motorcycle.

He put a safety helmet on Fujiwara Kaoru, then tied her waist with a safety belt and connected her to himself to prevent accidents.

"Let's go." Looking at the two people who were still in a daze, Lin Chiyu said lightly.

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other and saw the flames of grief and anger in each other's eyes.

Evil aristocracy!!

Rin Chiyu lightly turned the accelerator, and the BMW rushed out steadily for a short distance. Fujiwara Kaka held up the apple candy stick that she had already eaten, as if it was a cheering stick for encouragement: "Don't fall behind!"

She was no stranger to Chiba's brother's motorcycle.

You should know that Rin Shakuha dared to fly a plane when he was in high school. After graduating from high school and coming to Kyoto, he began to study motorcycle driving techniques.

I wouldn't say I know a thing or two about it, I can only say it's superb.

Hattori Heiji quickly got on the car, threw a helmet to Conan, picked him up and chased after him.

First stop, Gojo Tenjin Temple.

"Kyoto has nothing but a lot of temples." Rin Shakuha walked into the gate holding Fujiwara Kaoru's hand, and couldn't help but complain to Hattori and Conan.

What about Kiyomizu Temple, Sannoji Temple, Gyokuryuji Temple, Kinkakuji Temple...

There is no way around it. After all, it is the old capital, and the legacy of the shogunate period is still far-reaching.

"The Yoshitsune Chronicle says that the place where the two of them first met was not at Gojo Ohashi, but here." Hattori Heiji walked into the temple and looked around.

Conan looked at the picture in the phone and didn't find any clues worth paying attention to.

"Then the next stop." Lin Chiyu turned around decisively.

Fujiwara Kaoru curled her lips but said nothing.

Hattori Heiji spread his hands and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"But I still get angry when I think about it. Why didn't the monk from Sannoji ask me, a famous detective from Kansai, to investigate a case? Why did he go all the way to Tokyo to ask an uncle for help?"

"I think... maybe you don't want the police to know? After all, your father is the director of the Metropolitan Police Department." Conan was very aware of his friend's emotions, fearing that he would step on Hattori Heiji's tail, so he guessed carefully.

Instead, Lin Chiyu turned to look at them in confusion.

"Why do you think they should come to you?"

"Although you have helped the police solve many cases, your main job is as a student, right? And you don't have an agency."

"People in Kyoto are supposed to be serious, so it's impossible to entrust a high school student who is still studying. It's too irresponsible and I'll get scolded."

Hattori Heiji and Conan seemed to be deep in thought, and seemed to have a deeper understanding of the customs and culture of Kyoto.

Soon, they drove to Erjo Avenue.

"The second stop is Benkeishi."

Lin Chiyu pointed to a marked stone on the side of the road and showed the two people the direction, then he walked to a convenience store on the street and bought a few bottles of water.

"I heard that Benkei used to sit on this stone. Some even say that he threw it down from Mount Hiei." Hattori Heiji took a closer look at this very ordinary stone.

"It doesn't seem to matter..." Conan didn't find anything worthy of attention.

"Really? Then what's the next stop?" Rin Chiyu came over, threw a bottle of water to each of them, then unscrewed one and handed it to Fujiwara Xianghua who was kicking pebbles on the roadside.

"Where's the next stop?" Conan asked after taking a sip of water.

"Go up the slope." Lin Chiyu got on the BMW K-Class.

However, before they could start, they were stopped by a cool man wearing a tailor-made suit and with his hair combed meticulously with a strand of hair falling on his forehead.

"I'm Officer Ayanokouji of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department. From what I understand, you seem to be investigating the case of 'Genji Hotaru'."

He took out his police ID from his inner lining, flashed it, and then put it back.

"But this isn't Osaka or Tokyo...it's best for outsiders not to get involved."

He spoke harshly in an icy tone.

"Zhizhi..."

A furry little head suddenly popped out from the suit pocket.

"Wow, what a cute little squirrel!" Fujiwara Kaoru exclaimed in surprise and wanted to reach out to touch it, but she was a little afraid of this sexually apathetic police officer, so she retracted her hand timidly and stared at it eagerly.

The squirrel quickly climbed up Officer Ayanokouji's suit and onto his shoulder, then climbed onto the back of his hand. It stood up and sniffed with its little nose, as if it was memorizing their smell.

Fujiwara Kaoru's eyes became even brighter.

"Remember that." The strange police officer snorted, gave a final warning, turned around and left gracefully, still holding the squirrel in his hand.

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at his back and looked at each other in bewilderment: "Why is there such a weird police officer wherever we go..."

"I want to raise a squirrel too!" Fujiwara Kaka began to pull Rin Shakuha's sleeve.

"Go back and ask your husband to buy it for you." Lin Chiyu passed the buck.

"Who is that Officer Ayanokouji?" Hattori Heiji asked in confusion, stroking his chin.

Rin Shakuha shook his head: "I don't know, I've never seen him, but I have heard of the name Ayanokouji."

"How to say?"

"It is a long-established family in Kyoto, and is known as one of the four great families in Kyoto along with Fujiwara, Ooka, and Shiratori."

Conan wondered, "What about Genji and Abe?"

"That was the Emperor. His influence has basically disappeared into history. Only his name remains."

"Oh."

"But I do remember hearing from my elders that the first heir of the Ayanokouji family went to the police academy halfway through his studies. It looks like this is him."

Rin Shakuha lifted Fujiwara Kaoru up and tied her up, but did not go into the topic further. "We can talk about these gossips when we have time. Next stop."

Conan was still wondering whether the Shiratori police officer he knew had any relationship with the "Shiratori family" in Kyoto, when he was startled by Hattori Heiji's sudden accelerator. He screamed "Wow" and hugged his waist tightly.

Hattori Heiji laughed out loud.

......

Kiyomizu Temple.

"It's so beautiful!" Mao Lilan leaned on the railing at the edge of the open garden, looking at the white and pink cherry blossoms, and exclaimed sincerely.

"Yes, it's such a beautiful scene before my eyes..." Suzuki Sonoko held her face in her hands and lost in her imagination.

"'If I could watch it with Zhen, I would feel extremely happy', is that right?" Mao Lilan looked at her teasingly.

"Xiaolan, you are so annoying!" Suzuki Sonoko covered her mouth with a red face.

"You now understand how I felt when I was teased before." Mao Lilan said with a smile in her eyes.

When Chiyoko was in the hospital, Conan went on a trip to Izu with Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, and encountered a serial murder case that targeted women who dyed their hair.

It was also at that time that Suzuki Sonoko first met Kyogoku Makoto.

From then on, Mao Lilan finally had someone to tease her best friend who had always been carefree.

While the two were playing and fighting, Toyama Kazuha, who was dressed up beautifully, leaned on the railing nearby, looking like she was troubled.
