The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 207: The Crossroads of the Maze 22

"Bow and arrow?" Saijo Taiga thought for a moment and shook his head in denial, "I don't have such experience."

"I have played the bow when I was performing a role on the Noh stage." Mizuo Harutaro's words made everyone look over.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, he quickly added: "But it was just a pull. It's totally impossible to say that it hit the target."

Monk Longyuan also said: "I also used the bow for performance when performing exorcisms, but like Mr. Mizuo, I have never learned it professionally."

"So among the people in the pub at that time, was there anyone you knew who could use a bow and arrow?" Conan asked.

"Now that you mention it, Yamakura seems..." Nishijo Taikawa stroked his chin and thought for a while.

"Ah? Are you saying that Ms. Yamakura has practiced archery?" Hattori Heiji was a little surprised.

"Ah, no..." Nishijo Taiga smiled awkwardly, "I was just saying it casually."

Conan, who was standing by, caught something and pushed his glasses, and a white light flashed on the lenses.

Unable to get any more information out of them, the police had to release the suspects for the time being. Without sufficient reasons, it was difficult for the police to detain them by force.

Since there is no breakthrough in the confession, the most urgent task is to find key clues such as the murder weapon.

Lin Chiyu looked at his cell phone and found that there was no good news from the people from the Water Conservancy Bureau. It seemed that the murderer had recovered the weapon that had floated downstream in time last night.

He did not feel disappointed. After all, this kind of thing was just a matter of luck. If he put the transmitter in the container containing the murder weapon, the murderer would easily find the location and retrieve it.

It's not that we wouldn't have found it if we had looked for it then...but groping in confusion would definitely not be as good as the murderer going straight to the target, and there was a high probability that we would have ended up with nothing.

Anyway, he has asked Mr. Guifang to send people to set up measures around Yulong Temple, and they are just waiting for Conan and Hattori to trigger the plot.

As for why they didn't call the police and let the Metropolitan Police Department go...

The main reason is that the source of the intelligence is difficult to explain.

He was too lazy to go through the reasoning of the original plot, and had no way of convincing the police, so it was natural that he would save himself more trouble and effort by using his own energy.

After putting away his phone, Rin Chiyu saw Fujiwara Xianghua holding a glutinous rice cake and chewing it like a little hamster.

"...Where did you get it from?"

Fujiwara Xianghua pointed casually: "That beautiful sister gave it to me."

Rin Shakuha looked up and saw Miss Chiga Ling who had taken off her heavy white makeup.

Today she changed into an orange kimono with a scarlet flower print, which made her look much more elegant. She didn't look like a dancer in a pub, but more like a young lady who was naive to the ways of the world.

Mori and others took the Metropolitan Police Department's car to Sannoji Temple, but Conan and Hattori Heiji had their own ideas and chose to send Miss Chiga Ling home on foot.

Suzuki Sonoko had originally planned to follow the car, but when she saw that Rin Shakuha had no intention of getting on, she gave up the comfortable ride and followed the few people, even shamelessly asking Fujiwara Kaoru for half a glutinous rice cake.

"Actually, Sannoji Temple is on Rokkaku Road, and we are now passing through Ebisu Road..." Miss Chiga Ling introduced the road distribution of Kyoto to several people while walking, smiling.

It can be seen that although she is not from a wealthy family, Miss Chiga Ling loves life very much and also loves Kyoto, the place where she was born and raised.

As she spoke, she stretched out her fingers and counted them, singing: "Marutake Iji, Oshiomiike, sister Rokkaku... so it should be on the sixth road."

Hattori Heiji was slightly startled when he heard the song, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Miss Chiga Ling suddenly seemed to be filled with some complicated emotions.

"Sister, what was that song just now?" Conan saw that something was wrong with his good brother and asked Miss Qian Heling curiously.

"This?" Miss Chika Ling said with a smile, "We call it the Ball Song here."

"It's a song that compiles the names of Kyoto's streets in order from north to south."

She sang the song in its entirety.

"Maruzhu Yiji, Oshiomiike——"

"Sister Rokukaku, Octopus Nishiki——"

"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—"

After she finished singing, she looked at Conan and smiled: "Children in Kyoto actually use this song to remember the names of these roads."

"So, you are also from Kyoto?" Hattori Heiji, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Yes."

"Excuse me, how old are you this year?"

Ms. Chika Ling did not feel offended by being asked about her age and replied, "I am 19 years old this year."

Conan was stunned for a moment, thought of something, and looked at Mr. Rin beside him.

However, Mr. Lin was wiping the mouths of the two girls who had their mouths full of glutinous rice cakes, and there was no tacit eye contact between them as he had imagined.

So Conan could only turn his head helplessly and look at Hattori on the other side.

This time they made eye contact.

Well, Conan finally felt comfortable.

When they reached the traffic light at Yuchi Road, Ms. Chiga Ling said goodbye to the others: "Then I will take my leave first. Thank you for seeing me off."

After saying that, he walked along the intersection.

"Hey, don't you think..."

In response to Conan's whisper, Hattori Heiji said with certainty: "It must be her!"

"What is she?" Fujiwara Kaoru looked over in confusion, and suddenly her eyes turned disgusted: "Hattori-san, don't you think that beautiful sister is your dream lover?"

"I see that you obviously just saw that someone else was pretty. If it was Sonoko-san who sang this song..." The little girl squinted her eyes at Suzuki Sonoko who looked puzzled behind her, "I'm afraid what you said would be 'all the children in Kyoto will sing this song'?"

Suzuki Sonoko didn't quite understand what they were talking about, but she was keenly aware that the brat Fujiwara Kaka was making up a story that she was not pretty.

"You little brat, your sister Sonoko is still very charming even when I let my bangs down, okay?!"

She grabbed Fujiwara Kaoru's two braids viciously.

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts!" Fujiwara Kaka quickly gave in and asked Rin Chiba for help: "Chiba brother, save me!"

Rinshakuha suppressed the two people's antics and then looked at Hattori.

"Are you so sure you didn't recognize the wrong person? I don't think there should be such a coincidence in the world."

"She happens to be from Kyoto and is two years older than me, so she can't be wrong!" Hattori Heiji said firmly, which made Rinshakuha feel that Fujiwara Kaoru was right.

This guy couldn't be so sure because he saw that Ms. Chika Ling was pretty...

"Excuse me for being frank, but I personally think it's better to be cautious. This is not only for your own responsibility, but also for Miss Chiga Ling, and even more for Kazuha." Rin Chiyu persuaded tactfully.

"Wakaba? What does Wakaba have to do with her?" Hattori Heiji was confused.

"..."

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly understood and looked at Hattori Heiji with a bad look: "You guy, you didn't just talk about your mysterious first love, did you?"

"Wait, why do you know this too?" Hattori Heiji didn't expect that even Suzuki Sonoko knew about him.

"Stop talking nonsense and take my punch!" Suzuki Sonoko punched him in the lower back, seemingly showing no mercy.

Hattori Heiji was about to hide, but Conan's faint voice came from behind him.

"Whether it's Sonoko's punch or the Aikido master Kazuha's punch, think about it yourself..."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji was slightly distracted and lost the best opportunity to dodge, and was hit squarely.

"Uh uh..."

Hattori Heiji put on a mask of pain.
