Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

Hattori Shizuka said, "I don't like what's in the cup."

Bai Quanyi said, "Okay. I'll drink it for you."

Shiraizumi Masu picked up the wine glass in front of Hattori Shizuka and drank the wine.

Xiao Ai watched in silence as Bai Quanyi tried his best to please Hattori Shizuka, feeling unhappy.

My brother is terrible. He always likes other people's wives. I have to find time to give him some psychology lessons.

"Please have some, sir." Qian Heling obediently poured Hattori some wine, making his already drunken face even redder. "I told you I don't want to drink anymore. I'm not even of legal drinking age!"

"Heiji, you only realized this now?" Toyama Kazuha was still furious.

Sakura Masazo, who looked quite similar to a giant toad, smiled and said, "Detective Hattori, what do you think about the Genji Hotaru case?"

"How do you see it...it's a long story." Hattori Heiji hiccuped.

"I heard that every member of Genji Hotaru has a copy of the Yoshitsune Ki, right?" asked the teahouse hostess.

"That's nothing." Sakura Masazo curled his lips in disdain, "I still have a copy in my hand. It's a really good book, don't you think? A used book seller?" As he said this, he smiled and said to Nishijo Taiga beside him.

"Yes." Saijo Taiga's expression changed slightly, but he was quite well-mannered and smiled. "However, I don't like that book very much. Although it's called Yoshitsune Ki, it's actually a book about Benkei."

"I like it very much." The young master of the Mizuo school of Noh drama, Mizuo Harutarou, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Antaku's Benkei is the best."

"Benkei of Ataka?" Hattori Heiji raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it about the story of how Benkei cleverly beat up his lord, Yoshitsune, to get through the Ataka checkpoint?"

"0.2 Sorry, I haven't been getting enough sleep lately." Sakura Zhengzou was chatting when he suddenly smiled apologetically at the hostess of the teahouse, "Can I rest in the room downstairs for a while?"

"If you want to rest, there are not many guests tonight, so you can go next door and rest." The hostess smiled and said to Sakura Masazo.

"No, I'm more used to sleeping downstairs." Unexpectedly, Ying Zhengzo waved his hand and said, "That's fine." Then he looked at his watch and said, "Just wake me up at nine o'clock."

Hearing him say this, Quan Yi couldn't help but look at his watch. It was 8:20, so it was still early.

Shiraizumi Mashi slightly turned his body and took the beautiful and charming Hattori Shizuka into his arms.

While feeling the wonderful touch of the beautiful woman beside him, Bai Quanyi looked at the bright moon in the sky through the paper window of the teahouse. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's really... wonderful."

.......

62. Cherry Blossom Viewing with Heiji's Childhood Friend and Mom

Kazuha was in a bad mood because of Hattori Heiji's appearance, and she couldn't help but walk to the window. She was immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery outside the window.

"Wow! I can see the river!" He Ye exclaimed in surprise as he opened the window of the teahouse. "Come here, it's so beautiful! The cherry blossoms are so beautiful!"

"That river is the Kamo River," the teahouse hostess smiled. "It runs right through this entire riverbank."

Shiraizumi Masushi and Hattori Shizuka also leaned against the window of the teahouse, looking at the cherry trees opposite across the Kamo River.

There are a lot of cherry trees in Kyoto. When spring comes, the cherry blossoms bloom and large patches of cherry blossoms can be seen everywhere. Looking across the Kamogawa River, the pink sea of ​​blossoms stretches for miles. With the gentle spring breeze, the petals fall in a riot of colors and the fragrant flowers are everywhere. Combined with the dark blue night and the lights on the opposite bank, the whole picture is rendered into a beautiful painting.

"It's nice for couples to sit by the Kamo River and enjoy the cherry blossoms, but the spring green onions below are so dense that they can't see the cherry blossoms. It's just like the spring breeze blowing in the sky. It's so beautiful that it can't be seen from the outside ...

"Really?" He Ye was also attracted by the cherry blossoms opposite. Girls always like flowers, and this kind of beautiful scenery is rare to see.

"You can go to the terrace downstairs to admire the moonlight," Mizuo Harutarou said with a smile. "The weather bureau says the clouds will disperse tonight, and you'll see a beautiful moonlight!"

However, Hattori Heiji was not in the mood to appreciate the cherry blossoms. He noticed a small detail.

"...Ms. Chizuru, is your finger injured?" Hattori Heiji asked, grabbing Miss Chizuru's wrist.

"Eh... a little..." Miss Chizuru retracted her hand a little nervously.

"Let's go, Aunt Jinghua, let's go enjoy the cherry blossoms together!" Heye said to Hattori Jinghua.

Bai Quanyi said to Xiao Ai: "Xiao Ai, let's go together."

"Yes, brother." Xiao Ai nodded.

"I won't go down." Hattori waved his hand. Instead of going down to admire the cherry blossoms, he would rather think about what happened today and the current case here.

"You're not interested in that dancer, are you?" Kazuha looked at Hattori and couldn't help pouting, saying with a slightly jealous tone.

"...Don't talk nonsense if it's not true!" Hattori turned his head shyly and glared at Kazuha, but Kazuha didn't buy it at all. She snorted, turned around and followed the others downstairs.

Shiraizumi Mashi, along with Ai, Hattori Heiji's childhood sweetheart and mother, went downstairs to admire the cherry blossoms. Hattori stayed upstairs alone, studying the case with great interest.

"Oh, the moon is out!" Yuanshan Heye smiled slightly and pointed to the sky. Everyone turned around and saw a bright moon emerging from the slowly dispersing clouds, casting rays of cool moonlight.

"The moon..." Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, Xiao Ai's expression changed slightly.

"Aunt Jinghua, can I meet my lost relatives again?" Xiao Ai asked.

"It will definitely work. The fortune-telling at Tenman Shrine is very accurate." Hattori Shizuka said gently.

As soon as Hattori Shizuka finished speaking, Baiquan Yi grabbed her wrist.

"Bai Jun, what do you want to do now?"

"Aunt Jinghua, even you said that the fortune from Tenman Shrine is very accurate. Don't you think you should be more frank with me?"

"Bai Quanyi, I haven't settled the score with you for what you did to me last night."

"Then tell me what I did to you..."

"You...you broke my...melon..."

Hattori Shizuka felt more and more ashamed and could not raise her head in front of Shiraizumi Masu.

Toyama Kazuha looked at the ambiguous interaction between Shiraizumi Masu and Hattori Shizuka in surprise, and for a moment she thought she was seeing things.

"Mr. Bai...when did you become so close to Aunt Jinghua? Why didn't I notice it before?"

Toyama Kazuha felt that after one night, Hattori Shizuka seemed like a completely different person.

The originally elegant and dignified Hattori Shizuka actually showed a little woman's look in front of Shiraizumi Masu, which really surprised Toyama Kazuha.

Xiao Ai couldn't help but mutter, "I was wondering why Aunt Jinghua disappeared last night. Turns out she went to look for my brother."

"Eh? Little sister Ai, I didn't...it was a misunderstanding..." Hattori Shizuka defended herself with a blushing face.

Yuanshan Heye was even more surprised when she saw the shy look on Hattori Jinghua's face. She couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Aunt Jinghua, what happened between you and Bai Jun?"

Hattori Shizuka said: "It's nothing, don't worry, let's continue to enjoy the cherry blossoms."

"Yes. Aunt Jinghua 573."

In a blink of an eye, Toyama Kazuha discovered that Shiraizumi Masu was walking along the river holding Hattori Shizuka in one hand and Ai in the other, just like a family of three out for a walk, having a lot of fun.

"Bai-kun and Aunt Jinghua have a really good relationship. I'm so envious. I wish I could be as close as Hattori Heiji. But that's not right... If Aunt Jinghua is like this, then wouldn't that mean..."

Yuanshan Heye looked surprised, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

……

Just as the four of them were strolling leisurely by the river, a murder suddenly occurred in the teahouse.

The hostess of the teahouse stumbled open the door and rushed in, her face full of horror.

"Sakura... Mr. Sakura Shozo was murdered!"

Hattori rushed out immediately and ran all the way downstairs, only to find Sakura Masazo lying there with blood all over his face.

"The carotid artery was cut with a knife." Hattori Heiji, who arrived later, had a gloomy face.

"Everyone, go back to the room you were in just now. No one is allowed to leave until the police arrive!" Hattori Heiji ordered.

The intimidating power of the famous detective Hattori Heiji should not be underestimated. After exchanging a few glances, the remaining few people resolutely and obediently returned to their rooms.

63. Aunt Jinghua, you don’t want to…

Not long after, the police arrived and the four people who were admiring the cherry blossoms by the Kamogawa River also returned to the teahouse.

"This method is really neat." Hattori narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that the previous murders were committed by the same person."

"This is a warehouse." Bai Quanyi's face darkened and he said softly, "Why did he come to the warehouse?"

"Looking at the surroundings, he must be looking for something." Hattori said in a deep voice as he looked at the messy environment around him.

"The buttons on his suit jacket have been ripped off," Shiraizumi muttered, looking at the buttons on the victim's purple suit and the wallet on his chest. "It seems the murderer is very strong."

"Maybe it's because I was wearing gloves and didn't have time to unbutton my clothes one by one." Hattori shrugged. "But what were you looking for in your wallet?"

"The money in the wallet is still there. It's not about money," said Bai Quanyi.

"You two, get out of my way." Another voice sounded in Baiquanyi's ears. Baiquanyi turned his head and found it was Ayanokouji.

Shiraizumi Masu looked at Ayanokouji and asked, "Officer, didn't you bring your partner, Squirrel?"

"I don't carry it with me every day." Ayanokouji shrugged and began to inspect the scene.

"Okay, you two leave now, and leave the rest to the police."

After saying that, Ayanokouji drove away Shiraizumi Masushi and Hattori Heiji.

After leaving the scene, Hattori Heiji took out a key and waved it in front of Shiraizumi Masu: "I found the key to the deceased's house from his body. I plan to go to his house to check. You can come with me."

"Okay. Without further ado, let's go."

Shiraizumi Masu asked the other three women to return to Sannoji Temple in Kyoto first, and then he and Hattori Heiji came to Sakura Masao's house.

"Sure enough!" Izumi looked at the Yoshitsune Ki that he had found from the bookshelf, his face darkening, "He is indeed a member of the Genji Hotaru!"

"Ise Saburo." Hattori looked at the words marked with black marker on the last page of the Yoshitsune Chronicle and raised an eyebrow. "So, the remaining two are Yoshitsune and Benkei, right?"

The Yoshitsune Ki is actually a Benkeiki about Benkei...

"Mr. Bai... look, I found something!" Hattori Heiji suddenly exclaimed, and then pulled out a piece of paper facing each other from a page in the Yoshitsune Ki.

"A copy of that picture!" Bai Quanyi couldn't help but blurt out as he looked at the five-layer picture that looked like a pagoda and a bookshelf.

"So, the person who sent the letter to uncle is him." Hattori Heiji looked at the picture in his hand and said softly, "But why did he do this?"

"I have a bold idea..." Izumi narrowed his eyes, "Do you think every member of the Genji Hotaru clan should have a piece of this paper?"

"What?!" Hattori's eyes widened. "Bai Jun, do you have any basis for this?"

"I've already said it's just a guess..." Quan Yi waved his hand. "Didn't the person who killed Mr. Sakura Masazo search him? However, he probably didn't expect Mr. Sakura Masa to have copied this paper..."

"From another perspective..." Hattori held his chin, "The criminal might know Mr. Sakuramasa's identity as Genji Hotaru, and knew that he had that piece of paper on him... Wait, Mr. Sakuramasa made an appointment with him to meet in the storage room!"

"My guess is the murderer is one of Ryuen-san, Saijo-san, or Mizuo-san," Izumi narrowed his eyes. "Or, perhaps, one of the people inside the teahouse tonight... I can't rule out the possibility that they were an accomplice."

"Whether it's one person or two people who committed the crime, the murderer must be a member of the Genji Hotaru." Hattori said affirmatively.

"That's right." Bai Quanyi nodded.

After the two finished their investigation at Sakura Shozo's house, they returned to Sannoji together.

……

Back at Sannoji Temple, Hattori Heiji went to bed early. He couldn't hold his liquor well, but the monks persuaded him to drink quite a bit. He fell asleep right after he collapsed.

Shiraizumi Mashi took out his cell phone and asked Shizuka Hattori to come out.

The moonlight shines on the bluestone slabs of Shanneng Temple, emitting a faint silver fluorescence.

Hattori Shizuka was wearing a lavender kimono, looking pure and flawless, with a beautiful face that was dignified and resolute, and a graceful figure. She was a true top-notch beauty.

"Bai Quanyi, why did you call me out so late? If you still want to do what you did to me yesterday, I advise you not to have such wishful thinking."

Although Hattori Shizuka came out to meet Shiraizumi Masu, she did not treat him well and even wanted to draw a clear line with him.

"Aunt Jinghua, you are so smart. You know everything I am thinking." Baiquan Yi smiled lightly and walked closer to Hattori Jinghua.

"I'm going back to sleep. I don't want to pay attention to you now." After saying that, Hattori Shizuka no longer paid attention to Bai Quanyi and went back to the guest room. She came out just to draw a clear line between herself and Bai Quanyi and let Bai Quanyi know that she was not the kind of woman who could be manipulated by him.

"Aunt Jinghua, don't go." Bai Quanyi held Hattori Jinghua's white wrist.

"Let me go. I am the wife of the Inspector General of the Osaka Prefectural Police. Do you know what you are doing?" Hattori Shizuka raised her eyebrows and warned Shiraizumi Masu.

"I know, I know it very well." Bai Quanyi didn't care about Hattori Shizuka's identity at all. He knew that he liked Hattori Shizuka. He wanted to get Hattori Shizuka, both physically and mentally! "Aunt Jinghua was not very relaxed last night. Tonight I will take you to a love hotel so that no one will disturb us and we can enjoy the happiness of being human."

"You're dreaming! Shiraizumi Yoshi, I'm going to tell you straight, just because I won't pursue what happened last night doesn't mean you can play with me as you please. If you dare to offend me again, I'll tell my husband and make sure you're dead without a burial place." Hattori Shizuka threatened, and brought out her high-ranking husband, thinking she could stop Shiraizumi Yoshi.

Bai Quanyi didn't care at all. Instead, he threatened: "Aunt Jinghua, I discovered a big secret yesterday. Heiji is not your biological son, he was adopted."

Hattori Shizuka was startled and said nervously, "So, so what?"

"Aunt Jinghua, you don't want Heiji to know the truth, right? Heiji is in adolescence, and it would be bad for him to know this at this time."

"You... are despicable." Hattori (Li Zhaohao) Jinghua couldn't believe that Baiquanyi would threaten her with such a thing. As a person who values ​​feelings, she just pinched her weakness, "Baiquanyi, what do you want?"
