Although the purpose of the trip was nothing more than delicious food and beautiful scenery, considering that he would encounter murders inexplicably every time, Hattori Heiji decided to hand over the position of tour guide to Toyama Kazuha after careful consideration.
A night of silence.
The next day, the familiar castle tower.
"The circular building in front is the Osaka Castle Hall..."
"The area with many buildings opposite it is the Osaka business district..."
"Also, the Tennoji Zoo over there has more than 230 species, nearly 1,000 animals in total..."
Toyama Kazuha introduced: "How about it, Osaka is really a good place!"
"Will there be a police car arranged to take us for a stroll later?" Ye Geng asked.
Hearing this,
Conan, Mao Lilan, and Mao Li Kogoro turned their heads and stared carefully.
The police car parade last time was very impressive.
If the arrangement is still the same today, they will imitate Ye Geng and take a taxi no matter what!
Police... police car?
Yuan Shan and Ye were looked at in confusion by several people.
She didn't arrange it...or is this a special item that must be added?
Hattori Heiji sweated, and quickly leaned over and whispered: "Hey, Kazuha, last time I was at Tsutenkaku and took them to see the scenery of Osaka! Do you have any other arrangements?"
"But...many of the celebrations are now over."
Toyama Kazuha said: "I thought about it for a long time before I decided to take everyone to the castle tower to see the scenery first. If I think a place is better, I will go there to take photos as a souvenir."
"Take photos to remember..."
Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up, "I think this proposal is a good one."
After all, my daughter has just recovered from amnesia, so I feel that this move is very suitable for the theme of this trip.
"Is that so..." Hattori Heiji hesitated.
"What? Are there any other places you want to take us to visit?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
"Well, if it were me..." Hattori Heiji looked out the window at a towering building and said, "I will take you to the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters and let you have an eye-opening experience inside. But that You can’t just take photos while you’re there..."
oh?
Ye Gengyi was a little moved.
If you are lucky, you may be able to collect information about the gun smuggling gang without too much effort.
Kill two birds with one stone...
Conan also looked over there expectantly.
Obviously, for a certain god of death, he prefers that there are dead people in the scenery than the scenery itself...
However, the reality was not as smooth as imagined.
"Heiji!" Toyama and Ye akimbo retorted, "You also understand the occasion. We are taking Xiaolan to relax. How can we go to such a stressful place!"
"Okay, okay," Hattori Heiji compromised, "I just said it casually..."
"How's it going? Xiaolan...have you decided where to go first?" Yuanshan and Ye continued to act as tour guides.
"Hmm..." Mao Lilan thought for a while, and was a little undecided for a moment, "Let's stay here and enjoy the scenery first, because it's more beautiful to see it with your own eyes than in photos or TV."
"Hehe, right..."
After receiving the recognition, Yuan Shan and Ye Dun smiled happily: "After the castle tower was rebuilt about 60 years ago, it has been open almost every day..."
"To be precise, it was 69 years ago."
Next to him, an old man who was admiring the scenery joined the conversation and said:
"Taikou was first built in 1599, and Tokugawa Ieyasu rebuilt it again in 1629. Osaka people only opened the castle tower three times 69 years ago, in 1931."
oh? Does that mean this year is 2000?
Ye Gengyi silently wrote down the year.
However, what made him more concerned was...
Isn't the person in front of him the gun smuggling leader named Yuhiro Zaiya in the photo Cohen provided him?
What a coincidence...
This can happen.
In fact, what Toshiro Odagiri asked him to investigate secretly was, to put it bluntly, to see if this so-called gun smuggling gang had any interests in relationship with the Osaka police.
Of course, whether to investigate or not to report, the initiative still lies in Ye Gengyi's hands.
After all, the information provided by Toshiro Odagiri was very vague.
According to Ye Gengyi's analysis, this trip to Osaka was more about preventing someone from making a fuss about his status as an expert from the Technical Association.
Therefore, what he has to do now is not complicated, just wait and see what happens.
"Old man, you know very well..." Hattori Heiji subconsciously blocked Toyama and Ye behind him.
"Of course!" Yuhiro Zaiya said, "Because Hideyoshi is my spiritual mentor!"
"That's what I said," Hattori looked at the badge on the other person's chest: "But what you are wearing seems to be the Tokugawa family's emblem, the three-leaf Aoi..."
"Well..." Zaowu Yuhong was still ready to explain.
Behind him, several members of the same tour group as him also appeared one after another.
According to their story, the reason why this tour group was formed was because after chatting on the Internet, they found that several people were admirers of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
As for the badge on the chest, it was a punishment game for being too bored while traveling and based on the class divisions of the feudal system.
"What a fool..."
Compared to the curiosity of Maori Ran and Toyama Kazuha, Hattori Heiji is obviously not interested in this kind of entertainment.
And for some reason, he always felt that these people were not in harmony, but for a while...
"Hand cocoons." Ye Gengyi noticed his thoughtful expression and reminded him casually.
Hattori Heiji was startled. After he realized what he was doing, his eyes immediately fell on Yuhiro Zaiya's hand.
There are calluses at the joint between the thumb and index finger, as well as on the left and right sides of the index finger...
That's right! This is indeed the mark left by holding the gun and pulling the trigger for a long time!
What's going on, this old man...
"Maybe they are shooting enthusiasts." Maori Kogoro looked blankly, and after speaking, he went to drag Maori Lan who was chatting with them.
When Hattori Heiji saw this, he quickly pulled Toyama and Ye back.
Regardless of whether there is a problem or not, just leave them first!
"Heiji, should we play a similar game?" Toyama Kazuha, who was in the middle of chatting, still had some unfinished thoughts.
"You idiot!" Hattori Heiji scolded: "Don't deal with such strange guys in the future."
"But..."
"Okay! Aren't we going to take pictures? Let's go. There's still plenty of sightseeing in Osaka Castle." A certain servant was eager to protect his daughter and also took the initiative to change the subject.
...
Several people left the castle tower.
Yuanshan and Ye were nearby and bought an instant camera from a department store.
Ye Gengyi went to the vending machine, bought a cup of coffee and drank it while walking, while acting as the photographer for a few people.
If you don’t want to be photographed by others, then you have to take the initiative to photograph others. This wave is turning passive into active...
Fortunately, today's protagonist is Mao Lilan, and Hattori Heiji and Conan are not very interested in posing constantly, so Ye Gengyi's behavior is not too unusual.
