After lunch break.
Naniwa Stadium.
Ye Gengyi, Conan, Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro were already sitting in the audience.
Hattori Heiji sat next to a few people full of resentment, stuffing things into his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's a shame that I waited for you here at the entrance of the venue. It's a good thing for you that you didn't say hello directly. Run for lunch!”
"Hey, let's not talk about it...you are a contestant, right?" Mouri Kogoro asked: "Is it really okay to sit here and watch?"
"That is to say, Heiji," Toyama and Ye looked worried on the side, "Since our school has already reached the top 16, in the next game... you'd better go up and try your hand."
"It's not necessary, this is my tactic, I want to conserve my energy!" Hattori Heiji picked up the water bottle on the side, drank the food in his mouth, and said: "Anyway, you will see how I beat Okita later. That guy is fine!"
"Stop bragging! Even if we don't play in the top 16, you still have to go up and warm up in the eight-to-four game later!"
As Yuan Shan and Ye spoke, they dragged a certain black boy out of the auditorium. He did not forget to turn around and apologize to a few people: "I'm sorry, I'll take him to try out the protective gear first and I'll be back soon."
After seeing the two people walking away.
Ye Gengyi suddenly said: "It should be difficult for Heiji to defeat him."
Everyone was startled and followed their gaze to a figure in the lounge area of Kyoto Senshin High School.
"Huh? He looks like... Shinichi." Mao Lilan muttered.
Conan turned his head and stared.
After confirming that Xiaolan had no other intentions, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Brother Genichi, do you think Brother Heiji will lose?"
"Well... it should be to avoid accidents, so their protective gear has a high degree of protection for the throat and sides of the neck," Ye Gengyi said: "But even so, the neck can still be stabbed, so That is to say, in the last match, Heiji probably wasn’t careless and was hit, but was hit because he didn’t react.”
"Zaraichi, this is too shocking. According to you, Osaka boy has no chance of winning?" Although Mouri Kogoro is a master of judo and an expert in shooting, he really knows nothing about kendo.
"Not necessarily," Ye Gengyi's eyes fell on a certain black man from Osaka's Kaigata High School, "Maybe Mr. Maori's arrival can add new changes to the game."
Mouri Kogoro turned his head and stared: "..."
He suspected that this kid was mocking him, but there was no evidence...
From the top 16 to the top 8.
There are also fewer and fewer schools remaining in the preparation seats.
Seeing this, Maori, his daughter, and Conan basically agreed with Ye Gengyi's guess.
The difference between the two sides is obvious.
That Okita Souji's game was too clean and neat, and his opponent was almost powerless and was easily defeated.
Looking at the other side of the arena, although Hattori Heiji also won, the scene was not as good as his opponent's.
The game ends with 8 going into 4.
20 minutes intermission.
The remaining four schools include Hattori Heiji's Osaka Kaigata High School and Okita Souji's Kyoto Senshin High School.
Just like a predetermined script, their schools are divided into two non-connected half-districts, which means that unless they meet in the finals or the two have a private duel, they will not meet in any small field.
Championship defense?
It seems that the suspense aspect of staying here has been thoroughly played by the organizers.
Ye Gengyi stood up and walked towards the rest area of Osaka Kaigao High School.
Even though he came, he didn't want to watch Heiji lose.
Although the movements of warriors are very fast, they also become traceable thanks to the high-tech equipment.
As long as through high-speed camera capture and image analysis, some of the opponent's habitual actions can be screened out.
Okita Souji likes to raise his hand and thrust directly, attacking the opponent's throat as quickly as possible.
This is the conclusion Ye Gengyi came to after observation and analysis.
In a life and death battle, it might be really difficult to deal with such an opponent, but the game has rules, and under its restrictions, any move can be avoided to a certain extent.
When Ye Gengyi stood up from the audience, the top 8 matches had just been played on the stage, and Hattori Heiji returned to the preparation seat amidst applause.
However, by the time Ye Gengyi walked to the preparation table of Osaka Kaigao High School, the black man had already disappeared.
Are you nervous?
Ye Gengyi couldn't understand it for a while.
"Brother Gengyi..." Yuan Shan and Ye greeted him.
"Where's Heiji?" Ye Geng asked.
"Uh... he must have gone to the bathroom," Yuan Shan and Ye guessed, "He has always been like this before, always running there when he has something to do..."
Same problem with Conan? Are your kidneys getting bad at a young age?
Ye Gengyi was silent.
It's a pity that he is not good at pharmacological knowledge, otherwise he can help them to some extent...
Yuan Shan and Ye continued to ask: "Brother Gengyi, are you looking for him for something?"
"I have come up with some ideas to deal with Okita Souji's direct attack, but whether it is useful or not depends on Heiji himself."
Ye Gengyi can't guarantee that it will work, but conservatively estimates that there is still a high probability that a certain black man can seize the opportunity at the beginning.
Otherwise, according to past experience, with Conan and Mouri Kogoro present this time, this kid will most likely be injured again.
"Oh, that's great, I'm going to find him now!" Yuan Shan and Ye turned around and headed straight for the bathroom.
"Wait..." Ye Gengyi stopped her, looking a little weird.
"Eh? Brother Gengyi, is there anything else? I have to hurry up, the intermission is about to end!" Yuan Shan and Ye Huo said anxiously.
Ye Gengyi was silent for a moment, "Are you going to... the men's room to find someone?"
"Oh, what does this have to do with anything?" Yuan Shan and Ye turned around and left without hesitation: "It's not like I've never been there before..."
...
Annex, backyard.
When Yuan Shan and Ye were going door to door looking through bathroom stalls.
Hattori Heiji was walking on the road to the warehouse and swimming pool, trying to find some traces.
Just now, a contestant from another school was found dead in the bathroom of the swimming pool.
If it was an ordinary murder case, that would be fine.
However, several witnesses claimed that the first place they saw the body was in the warehouse.
The murderer was so unaware that he moved the body in front of everyone... How on earth was he done?
He was lost in thought.
Facing them, Yuan Shan and Ye ran over.
Ye Gengyi was about 5 meters behind her, following her not too close but not too far away.
Dozens of schools participated in the kendo competition. Except for the cheerleaders, all the contestants were boys. Yuan Shan and Ye Chuang were in the men's bathroom, so there was no guarantee that they wouldn't bump into a few characters who would take the opportunity to strike up a conversation.
When she couldn't solve the problem, it was only one thing to help her. In fact, as long as Ye Gengyi took the initiative to find someone, this incident could be avoided.
But he couldn't help but want to see how many people Heiji's childhood sweetheart could scare...
So, driven by this contradictory mentality, he has followed until now.
