Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Chapter 353: Love and Case in the Mysterious Temple

Mao Lilan raised her arms and cheered, her eyes sparkling, her heart blossoming with joy: [Perfect, I did a great job! This time I will definitely be able to make things happen for Kazuha and Heiji!]

Conan raised his lips, his eyes flashing with cunning, staring at Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha intently, thinking to himself: [Hattori, everything is ready, just waiting for you to seize the opportunity, the stage has been set for you, don't mess it up.]

Hattori Heiji took a deep breath, and his eyes, which had been a little playful, suddenly became extremely serious. He locked his eyes on Toyama Kazuha. He leaned closer and called out softly and affectionately, "Kazuha."

"Hmm?" Yuanshan Heye responded with some confusion.

Maori Kogoro bent down to look at the unconscious Dunzhe and complained unhappily: "You actually knocked me out with a stun gun!"

Toyama Kazuha followed Maori Kogoro closely with admiration on his face, praising him sincerely, "Uncle is so awesome! That move just now was so cool!"

Mao Lilan looked at the sky outside and said in surprise: "Huh? The rain has stopped."

When Mouri Ran saw that Hattori Heiji was still in the confinement room, she hurried to the room, pulled Hattori Heiji up and ran towards the corridor.

Hattori Heiji looked surprised: "Wow, what are you doing! Wait, hey, hey..."

Without bothering to explain, Ran Mouri stretched out her hands and pushed Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji from behind, pushing them out of the door, wanting to create a world of their own for the two of them.

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha were stunned for a few seconds, then started chatting.

"Is it about time to go home?"

"Okay."

"I want to buy some local specialties to bring back."

"I really like Suzuki Manju."

"If you eat too much, you'll get fat again."

"You're the only one who talks too much, idiot!"

Conan and Ran Mouri both widened their eyes, their mouths slightly opened, with disbelief written all over their faces, staring blankly at Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha as they started their daily bickering mode.

Conan couldn't help but mutter, "Oh my, these two, where's the romantic atmosphere they were supposed to have? Why are they bickering now? The topic they're talking about is so unexpected."

Mao Lilan also looked helpless: "That's right, but this is also their usual way of getting along."

Kudo Yuki was originally watching all this quietly, but suddenly she couldn't help but burst out laughing, looking at Mao Lilan and Conan, saying meaningfully: "These two are so interesting, sometimes feelings slowly heat up in these fights and quarrels, even though they may not be merciful in words, they actually regard each other as extremely important in their hearts."

Wait until the figures of Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha gradually disappear at the end of the road.

Kudo Yuki took out her cell phone and called the police. Her voice was calm and steady: "Hello, this is the Shōrakuji Temple. A case has occurred and the criminal has been subdued. Please come over as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, she stood there quietly, looking straight at the mountains in the distance. Her eyes gradually became deep, her brows slightly wrinkled, and her mind kept sorting out the clues of the case and the content of her conversation with Toru Amuro, trying to dig out the deeper connections behind it.

It also seemed like he was planning the next move, how to break through the defenses of the Ooka family head and Suzuki Jirokichi and obtain more key information.

After a long while, her tense expression slowly relaxed. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she turned and walked towards the crowd.

Before long, the sound of sirens came closer and closer, and 30 minutes later, the police arrived.

Several policemen walked into the temple. The leading officer looked at the fat monk Dunzhe, who was subdued by Maori Kogoro and was still dizzy at the moment, and asked with a serious expression: "Is it him?"

Maori Kogoro nodded: "Yes, officer, it is this guy. We have already investigated the whole process of the crime."

"Okay, take him back to the police station first." The police officer waved his hand, signaling the police officers behind him to take action.

Afterwards, other police officers began to do some finishing work at the scene. Some took photos and records with cameras, while others looked around for any missed clues.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the police car slowly drive away from the temple.

Mao Lilan said: "Sister Xue, today's incident is really thrilling. Have you ever encountered such a complicated case before?"

Kudo Yuki glanced at her brother and thought, "I haven't encountered such a situation before. However, it is rare for two cases to happen in one day. I don't know what will happen in the future."

Conan looked at his elder sister, and felt that she was referring to him in every word and every part of her words. Her eyes seemed to say: "As expected, where you are, there will be a case."

Conan curled his lips, a look of dissatisfaction flashed across his face, and he muttered softly, with some grievance in his voice: "No way, this is definitely a coincidence. I am not born with a case physique. How can I encounter such things every day? I still want to enjoy a normal life."

Mao Lilan didn't hear Conan's words clearly, so she whispered in his ear: "Shinichi, what are you talking about?"

Conan waved his hands quickly, and murmured with a smile: "No, nothing, I just feel that today's incident is quite tiring."

Kudo Yuki looked at Conan and couldn't help but smile. Just as she was about to make a joke, her cell phone rang. She took out her cell phone and saw that it was Toru Amuro calling, so she stepped aside to answer it.

"Xiaoxue, didn't I tell you before that I was going to investigate the feud between the former Prime Minister, the head of the Ooka family, and Suzuki Jirokichi? Now I've found some interesting things. I'm sure you'll be interested."

Kudo Yuki raised the corner of her mouth slightly, with a bit of curiosity: "Oh? You have a new discovery so soon, tell me about it."

Amuro Toru said: "There was a highly anticipated auction before, and a rare antique Buddha statue appeared in the world, which attracted a lot of attention from all parties.

Suzuki Jirokichi had coveted this Buddha statue for a long time, wanting to acquire it to expand his collection and consolidate his position in the collecting world. He went around to build relationships and even invited a well-known connoisseur to study the Buddha statue in preparation for the auction.

The head of the Ooka family also heard about the Buddha statue. How could he miss such an opportunity to enhance the influence of the family? So he also got involved in the auction under the banner of inheriting the family's art collection.

The two of them were unwilling to give in to each other at the auction, and they kept raising the price. In the end, the head of the Ooka family relied on his connections in various circles to bid a little more than Suzuki Jirokichi and bought the Buddha statue.

Now, Suzuki Jirokichi has lost all face. In the collecting community, everyone is talking about him, and those who used to flatter him have started to point fingers at him behind his back, thinking that all his boasting about his abilities has become a joke.

His reputation in the social world was also greatly affected. After all, such a high-profile auction failure made him unable to hold his head up in front of everyone. This time, the head of the Ooka family won beautifully and defeated Suzuki Jirokichi. "

Kudo Yuki nodded slightly on the other end of the phone, and Amuro Toru paused for a moment before continuing, "I thought this matter would just pass like this, but I didn't expect that something else would happen later.

There is a commercial project about developing a new high-end tourist resort. This project contains huge business opportunities. Both the head of the Ooka family and Suzuki Jirokichi are people with sharp vision. They immediately realized the benefits and decided to work together to divide this cake together.

At the beginning, the two seemed to be on good terms with each other. They even attended the project launch ceremony together and talked about the prospects and vision of cooperation in front of the media. Photos of them shaking hands and chatting happily made headlines in major business newspapers.

But problems arose during the project preparation stage.

Suzuki Jirokichi has been working in the business field for many years. Relying on his rich experience and keen market insight, he soon discovered that there were many loopholes in some of the business concepts and planning plans proposed by the Ooka family team.

These loopholes are not small problems. Once they are really implemented, the benefits and long-term development of the entire project may be in vain in the end, and everyone will lose all their money.

For example, there is a deviation in the positioning of their tourism projects. The overly high-end positioning may lead to insufficient customer sources, and the planning of supporting facilities lacks rationality and does not take into account the actual needs of tourists.

The head of the Ooka family was also a stubborn person. He felt that his idea was correct. After all, this plan was carefully planned by him and his team. He even felt that Suzuki Jiro was deliberately looking for trouble. So, the two of them started arguing in the conference room, and the argument became more and more intense.

Suzuki Jirokichi knew that if he continued like this, he would suffer and suffer heavy economic losses.

He resolutely chose to withdraw his investment and directly withdrew from the project, taking his team and some resources with him.

This withdrawal of investment was like a domino effect, and the plans of the head of the Ooka family suddenly fell through.

He originally thought that he could make a fortune from this project and also be proud of the family. However, not only did he suffer a heavy blow in business and lose a lot of money invested in the early stage, but he was also criticized by his family members. All kinds of questioning voices emerged, saying that he made a wrong decision and damaged the family's honor.

By withdrawing his investment this time, Jiro Suzuki successfully protected his business interests, and his reputation in the business circle became even more famous. Everyone felt that he had vision and knew how to cut losses in time.

Those who had originally been on the sidelines regarding his withdrawal of investment also began to look at him differently and extended olive branches of cooperation to him.

In this round, Suzuki Jirokichi can be considered the winner. At present, the key to their conflict that I know of is these two things. As for other factors, I think we can only know them by talking to them face to face.

However, these two are wary of each other now, so it is not easy to approach them."

Kudo Yuki pondered for a moment and said, "Well, the conflict between these two people is quite complicated. We have to find a way to get closer to them and see if we can find more clues. Toru, you stay busy at the Poirot Cafe first. We'll discuss this matter based on the situation."

After hanging up the phone, Kudo Yuki returned to the group.

Mao Lilan asked: "Sister Xue, is this Mr. Amuro calling? What's the matter?"

Kudo Yuki smiled and said, "Nothing serious, just some follow-up information about the investigation."

Conan looked at Kudo Yuki thoughtfully. He always felt that there seemed to be some secret between his sister and Amuro Toru that was hidden from him, but he didn't dare to ask directly.

Everyone came down from Mount Washio and arrived at the Polo Café. While enjoying the delicious food, they enthusiastically discussed the case that happened today. There was constant laughter and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

At this time, Ooka Momiji, who had just finished the karuta competition, was sitting on the return plane, and butler Iori Muga was sitting next to her with a book in her hand, and the two were chatting leisurely.

"On a summer night, I don't realize that the sun has risen yet. The moon has borrowed the clouds and I don't want to go home."

"This is the song we sang when we won the competition today."

"This song has been in my mind since the beginning. It means 'Summer nights pass by in the blink of an eye. Where does the moon rest?' In other words, in the dim light, time passes by in the blink of an eye."

"Time really flies by, just like this competition, it's over in the blink of an eye. However, this competition is really interesting, and I met many strong opponents."

"Of course, your karuta skills are outstanding."

The train moved slowly along the track, and the scenery outside the window flashed by quickly like a slide show.

Hattori Heiji leaned back in his chair, and suddenly the scene of Mao Lilan pushing him and Kazuha out flashed through his mind. He sat up straight abruptly, holding his forehead with both hands, with a look of annoyance on his face: "Oh, how could I have forgotten everything!"

Yuanshan Heye sat nearby, staring at the screen of her mobile phone, her fingers gently sliding across the screen, carefully selecting the specialties, and the corners of her mouth would occasionally rise slightly when she saw the products she liked.

After hearing what Hattori Heiji said, she was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her head, her face full of confusion: "Huh? What did you forget?"

Hattori Heiji turned his head and looked at Kazuha's innocent face. His heart skipped a beat. He opened his lips slightly, wanting to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't utter a word.

He secretly complained in his heart: "I'm such a fool. I was so busy reasoning that I completely forgot such an important confession!"

Recalling what happened before, his eyes were filled with tenderness and guilt.

Hattori Heiji looked at her innocent appearance, opened his mouth but said nothing, and complained silently in his heart: "I was so focused on reasoning that I forgot about confessing to Kazuha. 】

Toyama and Ye saw that Hattori Heiji didn't answer, but just looked at them with a strange expression, and they couldn't help but find it a little funny.

She smiled and reached out to pick up the specialty beside her. She leaned forward slightly and handed it to Hattori Heiji. Her eyes curved into crescents: "If you are talking about specialty, I bought a lot and I can share some with you."

Hattori Heiji reached out to take the specialty, and his fingertips accidentally touched Kazuha's hand. At that moment, he felt like he was hit by an electric current, his whole body shook, and his movements froze.

He slowly raised his head, staring deeply at He Ye, looking at the warm smile on her face, and swore secretly: "Next time, next time, no matter what, I will muster up the courage to confess to her. I will never miss this opportunity again. I must let her know my feelings!"

He clenched his fists, as if to cheer himself up.
