The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Keage Slope Canal Park.

Although it is called a park, it is actually not very big. There is a stone tablet surrounded by grass and a circle of irregularly distributed white cherry trees on the outside. Not far from the entrance to the park, there is a small pavilion for tourists to wash their hands.

In the center of the pavilion stands a wooden sculpture of Vairocana Buddha.

"Although there is a Tathagata statue here, it is obviously not the same as the lost Medicine Buddha, and I can't see any connection with the painting in the picture..." Conan put down his phone in disappointment.

Hattori Heiji didn't seem to be in a hurry. He raised his wrist to check his watch and said, "It's already this late. How about we go eat first?"

"Second!" Fujiwara Kaoru straightened her face and raised her hand high.

Although she didn't help much, she still worked hard for herself, so Fujiwara Kaoru decided to reward herself with a big meal.

Lin Chiyu didn't want to veto it. He opened his phone and looked at the map, then said, "If you want to find something to eat, you may have to walk to San Tiao Road. It's not far, so let's walk there."

Hattori Heiji's proposal was unanimously agreed upon by everyone in the detective team, and they walked towards the block along the gravel path beside the cherry blossom forest.

The cherry blossoms slowly fall, spinning and flying in the air, as if performing a beautiful waltz. One flower is like this, and so are all the flowers. It is like a pink rain in the cool late autumn.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, casting a soft golden glow on this feast of falling flowers, making each falling cherry blossom shine with a delicate and warm luster.

The wind seemed to slow down its pace, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility and beauty. It just held their hands gently and quietly, silently playing the role of a qualified dance partner.

"Sakura..."

Hattori Heiji raised his head and spoke with emotion.

"Every time I see cherry blossoms, I think of that evening eight years ago."

"I was going to explore a temple in Kyoto, but I accidentally bumped into a pillar in the temple and hit my head hard. I passed out at that moment."

"I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I saw a view that I will never forget in my life..."

As the Osaka boy spoke slowly, they all seemed to have returned to that evening eight years ago and saw the scene of cherry blossoms filling the sky.

"Maruzhu Yiji, Oshiomiike——"

"Bride Rokukaku, Octopus Brocade——"

"Shiling Buddha, Takamatsu, Mangojo——"

"Snowshoes, jingle-dongs, fish racks—"

"After six or seven of them——"

"After Hachijo, it's Toji-dori—"

"Finally, there are nine avenues—"

The old dwarf trees bent down with the sound of the wind.

The cherry blossoms all over the sky dye the world pink.

The boy hurriedly got up, rushed out of the temple gate, and ran to the old tree in the yard.

But all I saw was fallen flowers all over the ground.

"That was a beautiful girl wearing a pink kimono and two pigtails on her head." Hattori Heiji still felt unsatisfied.

As Fujiwara Kaoru listened, she felt something was wrong. She looked down at her pink traditional kimono, then raised her hand and touched the two pigtails on her head.

Then she held Rinshakuha's hand tighter and looked at Hattori Heiji with a vigilant look.

Hattori Heiji also noticed her gaze, and suddenly felt that his reputation was in danger, so he quickly explained: "She is very beautiful, and she is completely different from the cuteness of a child like you! And her kimono is not as exquisite as yours, so she should not be from a wealthy family."

Fujiwara Kaoru finally felt relieved, but she still glanced at him doubtfully.

“Although it felt like a dream, it was real.”

Hattori Heiji rarely showed his anxiety.

"I always felt that I would meet her again one day."

"...Pfft."

A suppressed but unconcealed laugh sounded, and Hattori Heiji's face darkened. He looked down and saw a "big head like an apple stem" trembling slightly, obviously unable to stop laughing.

"Hey, what's so funny about this!"

"Sorry, sorry." Conan laughed even louder and apologized insincerely.

"Although you have described it in great detail, it seems difficult to prove that this is not a dream based on the feeling alone..." Rin Shakuha saw a Sukiyaki restaurant in the distance and led everyone in that direction, while commenting on Hattori's childhood sweetheart.

"And in my opinion, all love at first sight in the world is just a euphemism for lust at first sight."

Fujiwara Kaka also nodded, and patted Hattori Heiji's waist calmly: "It's okay, Hattori-san, at this age, you should have a vigorous spring love."

Hattori Heiji looked at this kid with dead eyes, who became disrespectful after getting to know him.

"Of course there is evidence to prove that this really happened!" He touched his back pocket and took out a small silk bag.

“I always bring this with me whenever I come to Kyoto.”

Conan took the small bag from him, opened it and saw a small white bead as white as jade lying quietly inside.

"Isn't this a crystal bead?" After looking at it carefully in the sunlight, Conan put it back.

"And I seem to have seen this shape somewhere..."

"Really?" Hattori Heiji perked up, "Have you seen anyone with the same one?"

"do not know."

Conan shook his head. He only had a vague impression, but it was not clear.

He handed the small bag to Mr. Rin, who seemed to be detached from the situation, and Mr. Rin bluntly expressed his disinterest.

This guy is still as uncurious as ever...

"Do you think she knows about this?" he turned to Hattori Heiji and asked.

"How do you know this?" Hattori Heiji was immersed in disappointment and couldn't come to his senses for a while.

"Oh, you mean He Ye?"

He thought for a moment and said, "I haven't mentioned it to her in detail, but she knows about it."

Fujiwara Kaka pricked up her ears, quietly exerted some force on Rin Shakuha's hand, and when she saw Shakuha's brother looking over, she whispered, "Who is Kazuha?"

"She's Hattori's childhood sweetheart."

"Oh."

Then the little girl looked at Hattori Heiji viciously, her eyes so ferocious that it seemed as if she could chop the scum into pieces.

"Xinei."

Although the sound here was very low, the private chat mode was not turned on, so Hattori Heiji and Conan next to them also heard it.

Hattori Heiji looked at Fujiwara Kaoru in confusion, wondering what was wrong with this little girl.

"There are two kinds of women in the world," Fujiwara Kaoru raised her finger, as if to say something about the truth of the world, "one is a childhood sweetheart, and the other is a thieving cat."

She pointed her finger directly at Hattori Heiji: "A man like Hattori-san who is obsessed with women other than his childhood sweetheart is the worst of the worst!"

"Ouch!!"

Rinshakuha withdrew her hand, and Fujiwara Kaoru hugged her head with tears in her eyes.

"I think you should go back and ask your teacher to give you extra lessons."

"No, I was wrong..." the little girl wailed pitifully.
