"You... you..."

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Kotekawa even had the idea of ​​retreating. But then he thought that if he let them go here, he would still face imprisonment when he got out.

Thinking this, a cruel smile crept across Kotegawa's lips, and he gripped the knife in his hand tightly once more.

Seeing this, Mingmei frowned slightly, and her tone carried a hint of surprise.

"You...you mean, even at this point, you're still thinking of killing us to silence us?"

Hearing this, Kotegawa's tone became extremely disdainful, "Hmph! If I do nothing now, I'll still be sent to prison by you later, so I might as well go all the way."

"As long as you all die here, no one will know any of this. Those stupid police officers could never find out about Chuijian's death!"

Seeing the hopeless, ferocious smile on Kotegawa's face, Akemi knew that this person was beyond saving.

"Besides... the advantage is still on my side!"

Having said that, Kotegawa slightly raised the samurai sword in his hand, a cold glint flashing on the tip. This was the source of Kotegawa's confidence to challenge Asakawa Yu and the other two here.

"watch out!"

Pull!

In an instant, amidst the flashing of swords and the falling of a white light, Kotegawa set his sights on Akemi, who had been arguing with him since the beginning.

In his view, Akemi was merely a woman, and no matter how skilled she was at deduction, she was ultimately no match for the difference in strength and gender.

He swung his knife horizontally, and just when he thought the woman would groan and fall to the ground under his blade, the next second, a sudden reversal took everyone by surprise.

Akemi reacted quickly, stepping back slightly to dodge Kotegawa's slash.

"how……"

"It seems you're determined to go your own way?"

At that moment, Akemi's entire demeanor turned somber, and her tone of voice became unusually cold.

Although she usually seems gentle and kind, that's only when her bottom line is not crossed. Just as Asakawa Yu once said, how could someone who can enter the organization be so simple?

"ha!!!"

Mingmei shouted loudly, then quickly stepped forward and struck Xiaoshouchuan's elbow with her palm.

In an instant, a wave of intense pain washed over him, forcing him to open his hand. With a snap, the katana slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground.

Instinctively, Kotegawa wanted to run and pick it up, but Akemi clearly wouldn't let him have his way.

He followed up with another kick, aiming for Kotegawa's abdomen.

With a muffled groan, Kote Chuan gagged, then quickly fell backward, crashing into the warehouse wall with a thud. He lowered his head and immediately passed out.

"Phew~" Akemi took a deep breath, then relaxed and looked at Hattori beside her.

"Hattori, are you alright?"

But Hattori was already deeply shocked and could only stammer, unable to speak for a while before he recovered.

"No...it's okay. It's good that you guys are here, Ayami-nee, hahaha..."

Hattori put his hands behind his head, chuckled a few times, and thought to himself, "I must never make Ayami-nee angry again!"

otherwise……

Hattori glanced at Kotegawa, who was sleeping peacefully there, and couldn't help but hiss.

Wow! That's so cool! I love you, sister!

[Hahaha, those of you who just said you won, come out here!]

[Heizi speaks! 】

"Hattori!"

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

Conan and his friends were rushing over, but when they arrived at the scene, what they saw was beyond their imagination.

Hattori Masashi was huddled to the side, looking terrified, while Kotegawa Masashi lay there like a dead fish. As for Asakawa Yu and Akemi, they both looked relaxed.

"What...what exactly happened here?" Conan asked, pondering what he had missed!

Afterwards, Kotegawa was taken away by the police, and Asakawa Yu recounted the events at the crime scene to everyone.

When they heard that Akemi was the first to solve the case, Ran and Kazuha's eyes lit up instantly.

"Ayami-nee, you're amazing! Even Heiji lost to you this time!"

"That's right! And he even subdued the criminal and saved Hattori!"

The two women surrounded Mingmei, their eyes shining as they looked at her, exchanging words of admiration for her.

Asakawa Yu stood quietly to the side, letting Akemi enjoy the moment.

"Tch! Even if Asakawa and the others weren't here, I could have easily subdued that guy by myself."

Hattori and Conan squatted to the side, hands on their knees, chins propped up, and said with a defiant look on their faces.

As for Conan, he stared at Hattori with deadpan eyes, utterly speechless.

"Hey! Kudo, what kind of look is that?!"

It's clear that Hattori was very dissatisfied with losing to Akemi this time. It wasn't just that Hattori lost in the reasoning, but more importantly, Akemi and the others saved the day in the end.

"Oh right, did we forget something?" Xiaolan said, resting her finger on her chin, looking thoughtful.

"What did I forget... Oh right! Heiji, it's your match!"

"Yes!"

After Kazuha mentioned it, Hattori suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a match to participate in.

Urged hurriedly by Kazuha, Hattori immediately rushed to the gymnasium.

But when they reached the door, they saw several people from their own group, their faces bruised and swollen, helping each other out.

Judging from the situation, Hattori's school has unsurprisingly lost.

Asakawa Yu and Conan and the others looked at him speechlessly.

"Well... it's because of the case. Besides, if I don't solve the case, I won't be in the mood to compete." Hattori scratched his head awkwardly.

"Hehe, in the end she still lost to Ayami-nee, you really dare to say that."

Hearing Kazuha's mockery, Hattori couldn't hold back any longer and angrily retorted, "What do you know? I was just held up by other things!"

"Oh, really? Then tell me what it is!"

This bickering couple started arguing again, leaving everyone present speechless...
