"Kazuha...Saraichi-nii...why did you two come here?" Hattori Heiji looked at the two of them, with only surprise on his expression, not the slightest hint of consciousness as a competitor.
really.
This preemptive question made Yuan Shan and Ye stunned for five or six seconds before they reacted.
"How dare you say that!"
Toyama and Ye put their hands on their hips, took a long breath, and showed a helpless look: "The halftime break in the 8-to-4 game is only 20 minutes. Even if you rush back now, it's too late..."
If it were other contestants, after hearing this sentence, even if they did not rush back to the venue immediately, they would at least bow and apologize, saying that they had accidentally remembered the wrong time.
However, Hattori Heiji just said "Oh" lightly, and there was no trace of nervousness or reflection on his face.
"It doesn't matter. Our opponent in the semifinals is not Kyoto Senshin High School anyway. After the semifinals... there is still more than an hour of rest before the semifinals and finals. I just need to find the murderer before then. , and then just go back and compete.”
Kill... murderer?
Yuan Shan and Ye were shocked, "You mean, someone died..."
"yes."
Hattori Heiji pointed to the swimming pool behind him: "The body is over there. If the case is not solved, I won't be able to care about the competition at all."
Sacrificing a passerby to prevent the duel between Heiji and Okita Souji?
This thought flashed through Ye Gengyi's mind quickly.
However, it is temporarily unknown whether this is the God of Death or the God of Plague, or whether the aura of the 'Osaka Black Chicken' in front of him is acting up.
"We can tell Detective Maori about this," Toyama and Ye immediately suggested: "They are also at the venue anyway, so you don't have to worry at all. As long as he comes over, he will be able to solve the mystery easily. Already..."
"By the way," she said, turning to look at Ye Gengyi again, "Besides, Brother Gengyi is here too. Let them handle the murder case. You can concentrate on the competition!"
The other party can easily solve the difficult problems that trouble you...
This analogy was like a basin of cold water poured on Hattori Heiji's head.
If you haven't won the kendo competition yet, you have to lose the reasoning first?
Rather than avenge Okita Souji's stabbing, he also didn't want to lose to that guy Kudo!
Damn it... Do I have to choose between a murder case and a competition?
...How to do how to do!
Hattori Heiji scratched his head crazily. This was simply a state of mind!
"Heiji!"
Yuan Shan and Ye were about to urge them, but were interrupted by Ye Gengyi: "I think it would be better not to tell Mr. Mao Li about the murder."
Eh?
Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Ye Yizuo.
Noticing the two people looking at each other, Ye Gengyi continued: "Xiaolan has just recovered her memory not long ago. During the next one-hour break, let them stay at the venue and relax by watching the performances of the cheerleaders and backup dancers. .”
"That's right!" Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up and he immediately said seriously: "Listen up, Kazuha! You must go back now, definitely, definitely! Don't tell the uncle and the others about the murder. As for here..."
Ye Gengyi answered, "Leave it to me and Heiji."
Well...
Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha were startled again.
However, their ideas are completely different.
"Let's go and have a look at the scene." Ye Gengyi took the lead and walked towards the swimming pool.
Toyama Kazuye: "..."
Brother Geng is right, they are here to relax and travel, Xiaolan should not be involved in a murder case.
Hattori Heiji:"......"
Leave it to Brother Gengyi to handle it... It seems to be no different from letting yourself go directly back to the venue to prepare for the game, right?
...
In order to avoid affecting the game.
The police arrived very quietly.
When Ye Genichi and Hattori Heiji came to the swimming pool, Osaka Prefecture detective Otaki was investigating the murder scene.
The name of the deceased was Atsushi Suijian.
When his body was found, he was leaning against the corner of the swimming pool shower room. There were scars all over his body, but the most fatal blow was the knife that went straight from the left side of the neck to the abdomen.
Since the murderer also turned on the hot water switch, it is temporarily impossible to determine the specific time of death.
At the swimming pool, in addition to the person in charge of the venue, several witnesses were also gathered together.
A person with a red and swollen nose, as if he had been punched, is called a Miangumineo.
The chubby guy who looks kind-hearted and looks easy to bully is named Yukou Guizhi.
Ye Gengji glanced at them and eliminated these two people who exuded the aura of weakness.
In addition, the remaining two people are named Oteyama Jun and the other is Hakamada Masamichi.
They are all classmates of the deceased, and they are also contestants in this Kinki Kendo Competition.
According to Hattori Heiji, he saw these people arguing in the bathroom about an hour ago.
Although Ye Gengyi didn't understand why this guy always went to the bathroom.
However, Officer Otaki believed in this testimony. Hearing this, he immediately said: "It seems that all four of you are suspected..."
"Mr. Police Officer, please tell me, if we killed Kuami, how on earth would we move the body from the warehouse to this swimming pool?"
Hakamada Masamichi has a gorilla-like face and frowns in an imposing manner, "As long as you can explain this clearly, we will accept the investigation obediently. If there is no evidence, we will first tell him about Tsumi's death. Parents."
"Okay, but you can't leave the gym for the time being," Officer Otaki reminded, then turned to Hattori Heiji and whispered: "Ahira... are you sure the deceased really said to this Hakamada that he was going to 'kill him'? ?"
"Hmm... It seems that it was because the company he worked for was not prepared to hire him. However, he was drunk at the time and some of what he said was not very clear..." Hattori Heiji muttered.
I began to think of a route from the annex's warehouse to the swimming pool.
If you want to move the body, you have to pass through the gate, but if that's the case...it's impossible to avoid all the people when moving the body to the swimming pool...
Unconsciously, he walked outside the warehouse again.
Ye Gengyi followed a certain Heipi.
If it were him, he would only need three steps to transport the body. First, particleize it, and then walk over and reorganize it...
Of course this cannot be said.
Seeing Hattori Heiji deep in thought, Ye Gengyi reminded: "Don't fall into a misunderstanding. Since there is no way to figure out the corpse removal method for the time being, let's figure out the contradiction between them first. If there is a motive, Officer Otaki will not be passive. .”
I know this... Hattori Heiji blinked: "But, since they are regarded as suspects, and their previous attitude, I am afraid they may not tell us the truth..."
"Then give it a try." Ye Gengyi pointed in a certain direction without comment.
Hattori Heiji looked around and saw that it was the chubby little guy named Noriyuki Haguchi...
"Brother Gengyi, are you trying to..."
"That's right." Ye Geng nodded, "You fuck me, or... together?"
Hattori Heiji:"......"
Hey, hey, don't make it look like they are committing a crime!
but...
"Let's go together..." Hattori Heiji said.
