The Split-Actress in Conan's World

After teaching this disrespectful fellow a lesson, Rinshakuha seemed to be interested and asked Hattori Heiji: "Since you didn't mention it, how did Kazuha know about it?"

Hattori Heiji sighed: "She knew because of my problem."

......

"A magazine interview?"

Mao Lilan leaned forward slightly, almost crossing the table of the coffee shop booth and reaching in front of Yuanshan Heye. Her eyes were full of desire for knowledge.

After coming down from Kiyomizu Temple, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko noticed that their best friend was in a bad mood, so they changed their itinerary temporarily and found a coffee shop to sit down.

I don’t know if it was the dopamine effect brought by the dessert, or the soothing music in the store, but after Yuanshan Heye sat down, he slowly opened up and wanted to talk.

"That's right." Yuanshan Heye took out a booklet from her small bag. "It's a magazine publication that is very popular in Kansai."

She put the magazine on the table and pushed it towards Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko.

The two looked over curiously. At first glance, it seemed quite impressive. On the cover it read "Naniwa's High School Detective" and then there was a photo that took up half of the page. In the photo, Hattori Heiji had his hands in his pockets, wearing the familiar baseball cap, and a confident smile on his lips.

"The reporter asked him about his first love, and he said it was a girl who was slightly older than him, whom he met when he was in the third grade of elementary school..."

Yuanshan and Ye had an indelible worry between their brows. They flipped open the magazine and pointed to a certain interview page: "He also took out a keepsake that was said to be related to her, and even asked the reporter to take a photo!"

The place where her finger was pointing was the photo of Hattori Heiji holding the small white bead, with an expectant look on his face in the photo.

"What is this?" Mao Lilan leaned over to take a closer look.

"It's just an ordinary crystal bead." Yuanshan Heye sighed, "It was probably given to him by that girl."

"Could it be that you and that girl..." Suzuki Sonoko looked at her in confusion.

"How could I possibly know her..." Kazuha's eyes dimmed, "It seems like Heiji only saw her once, and she was already bewitched by him."

"After that, every time he came to Kyoto, he would spend a lot of time looking for her."

"Isn't that why he asked the reporter to take the photo of the crystal beads?" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly understood, "He was hoping that one day the girl would see it in a magazine and come to him to recognize her!"

He Ye looked even more aggrieved, "Look, he's very nasty, isn't he?"

"Yes!" Suzuki Sonoko nodded seriously.

But she quickly turned around, slammed the table, and said righteously: "But that's why you should go and talk to him about it!"

Mao Lilan gently poked her waist. Suzuki Sonoko turned to look at her with momentum, and saw her best friend pointing behind her awkwardly.

The guests at the back table were staring at her blankly, as if they were frightened by her.

"......Sorry." Suzuki Sonoko sat down awkwardly and coughed lightly.

"I mean, that's why we need to ask him for clarification! We can't just lose to a mysterious guy whose shadow we can't even see!"

"Heiji and I are not..."

"Kazuha!" Suzuki Sonoko interrupted her in a very serious tone.

"Some things, if you don't seize the moment, you may not have a chance, because not everyone will be with you as a matter of course. Maybe one day Hattori will have to part with you for various reasons?"

“Being able to hesitate without any burden is actually a luxury of happiness.”

"Often when you are ready to pour out your feelings, the person you want to talk to is no longer around... Xiaolan is like this, and so am I."

Yuanshan Heye was a little uncomfortable with her seriousness at first, but after listening to her words, he began to think about it.

"This is the meal you ordered. Please enjoy." A waiter suddenly came over with a tray, disrupting the atmosphere that had been created with great difficulty.

"Coming!!"

Suzuki Sonoko held her strawberry parfait with a smile on her face and started to eat it with relish, completely losing her serious look just now.

Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha looked at each other, and smiled with shame but also some relief.

This kind of unreliable look is what a good girlfriend should be like!

......

"Kurama Temple..." Conan looked at the map, then compared it with the photo with the puzzle drawn on it. For a moment, he seemed to understand something, but the inspiration was fleeting.

"That's Nioumon." Hattori Heiji stopped the motorcycle and took off his helmet.

"Most people usually enter from there during sightseeing, but it will be more convenient for us to go in through the west gate along the mountain path." Rin Chiyu unbuckled his seat belt and led the way towards a mountain road covered with dead leaves. Fujiwara Kaka nimbly jumped out of the car and followed with her short legs flapping.

"Let's follow them." Hattori Heiji pinched the brim of his baseball cap, turned the duckbill to the back, and smiled at Conan.

Conan saw a flash of blue out of the corner of his eye and turned to look. It was a somewhat old motorcycle that looked like it had been used for many years.

Apart from their two cars, there was only this motorcycle parked here.

"Do the monks here also ride motorcycles to get off work..." Conan muttered softly and followed them.

The mountain path is not short, and the relative height alone is about thirty meters.

The stairs and ramps along the way were quite difficult to walk on, but although the little girl Fujiwara Kaka was sweating and climbing with great effort, she did not complain about being tired or ask adults to carry her. This made Conan look at this little girl with a new respect.

It took them nearly half an hour just to climb the mountain.

From time to time, the ethereal sound of birds singing could be heard from the forests, some of which sounded like crows, but not as hoarse.

The destination of this trip is not the top of the mountain. If we head towards the top of the mountain, we probably won’t be able to finish the climb before dark.

When they reached less than halfway up the mountain, they saw their destination.

"This is Sengjodani Fudo-do." Rin Shakuha was obviously not doing a very good job as a tour guide, as he just finished the introduction with this dry sentence.

However, Hattori Heiji found the information on Yahoo using his mobile phone.

"It is said that Ushiwakamaru once met a Tengu here and learned military tactics from him... I am a little curious whether the Tengu looks like the legend says, with a long nose and a red face. When can I meet one?"

Fujiwara Kaka was holding a water bottle and gulping down water. After hearing this, she looked at him with caring eyes: "Hattori-san, even a child like me who has heard the legend of Tengu since childhood knows that Tengu does not exist. It is just something people made up to scare people."

"Haha, that's why you are still too young." Hattori Heiji raised the corners of his mouth, put his hands in his pockets, and smiled confidently.

"Just because no one has seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist..."
