Chapter 395: Hating iron but not steel
"Beep-beep-beep-"
Xiaolan was on the phone, and it took a while for the call to be connected: "He Ye, where are you? Why haven't you come back yet? I——"
"This girl is in my hands. In one hour, have that dark-skinned Osaka detective come to Gyoryuuji Temple on Kurama Mountain alone. If he dares to call the police, this girl will die!"
An obviously processed voice came from the receiver, and Kazuha could be vaguely heard shouting beside him: "Tell Heiji not to come over, it's dangerous, he will be killed - beep beep -"
The call was hung up, and Xiaolan was at a loss as to what to do when holding the phone: "He Ye was kidnapped? The kidnapper told me not to call the police, but -"
Xiaolan looked at Officer Shiratori and Officer Ayanokouji, who had already stood up and were ready to respond to the call because their cell phones were on speaker. She paused. This shouldn't be considered calling the police, right?
Chu Ming had already lowered his head and called Hattori, telling him to go and save his girlfriend and stop thinking about whether it was first love or not. Before Chu Ming could tell him to take the lead and that someone from the police would naturally follow him, Hattori hung up the phone anxiously.
"..." Looking at the people staring at him with burning eyes, Chu Ming spread his hands and said, "He died before I could finish my words. But it doesn't matter. We already know the address. When the time comes, the police will sneak into the mountain. Hattori won't know the truth and it will be good for paralyzing the murderer. You guys get ready to go first. Xiaolan and I will sneak in to take a look. After all, we are the two with the highest fighting power here."
……╭（′▽‵）╭（′▽‵）╭……
Chu Ming took Xiaolan and walked up from the foot of Mount Kurama. There were so many trees here that cars couldn't drive in at all, so the two had to get out of the car and walk inside.
As Chu Ming walked, he explained to Xiaolan how to sneak in quietly without leaving any traces, and how to walk in the forest to avoid dead branches underfoot and avoid making any noise...
One was talking and the other was listening. Xiaolan's skills were already good, and she made obvious progress after being taught by Chu Ming. Without disturbing anyone, the two quietly came to the wall of Yulong Temple.
It was already nightfall. There was a lot of dry firewood piled at the base of the wall of Yulong Temple, and there were many shelters nearby. The two men quietly hid behind the firewood pile. There was no electrical connection here, and torches were used for lighting everywhere. So even though people came and went from time to time, no one noticed that they were hiding here.
Perhaps this is the advantage of having the daughter of the world's will by your side, with the bonus of top-notch luck, and no one will notice it even if you hide it carelessly.
After a while, a masked man walked out of the hall, holding He Ye, whose hands were tied behind his back.
"Huh, why isn't your boyfriend here yet?"
"Why did you come when you knew it was a trap!" He Ye looked stubborn. She wanted Hattori to come, but she also didn't want him to come.
I don't want him to come because I'm afraid he will be in danger for me; but I want him to come because of the girlish feelings in my heart.
The masked man stopped talking to He Ye because he saw a dark-skinned man wearing a hat and holding a bamboo sword slowly appear at the gate as the cherry blossoms fell.
It's you, Osaka Black Chicken - oh no, it should be Tokyo White Chicken now.
"Heiji!" Tears flashed in Kazuha's eyes.
"Hattori looks like Shinichi..." This came from Chu Ming. Xiaolan leaned her head out slightly, a little confused.
???
How did you recognize this at first sight?
Chu Ming made a 'hush' gesture, signaling Xiaolan to wait a while before going out.
"You didn't do anything to Kazuha, did you?" Chu Ming couldn't help but laugh at Conan's awkward Osaka accent. How dare Conan say that he has mastered Osaka dialect? ?
He Ye was also stunned by the strange accent, and after a while he shouted, "I'm fine—"
Listening to Kudo Heiji pulling his hat and explaining the murderer's murder method in detail, Xiaolan beside him frowned quietly: "Brother Chu Ming, that - it's not Hattori, right? It's Shinichi?"
Chu Ming looked at Xiaolan, who had a keen sense of observation. He had no intention of hiding anything for his brother and nodded: "Yes, I think it is him too."
Xiaolan clenched her fists slowly: "He came to Kyoto a long time ago. Why didn't he come to see me and stayed with Hattori?"
Chu Ming quietly fanned the flames: "This is a bit too much. I can't stand what Kudo did this time. We haven't seen each other for so long, and he didn't come to see you when he finally came to Kyoto! He's relying on your good temper, Xiaolan. You should give him the cold shoulder for a while, so that he knows that he can't do whatever he wants just because he confessed! And Conan, Xiaolan usually calls you sister, but it's useless at the critical moment. He doesn't even know to tell you about it. You love him in vain!"
Xiaolan blushed, and her anger subsided a little: "What, what confession... He, he can come or not... I don't care..."
Chu Ming looked at Xiaolan, who was saying one thing and thinking another, and then looked at Kudo Shinichi, who had already dragged He Ye into a heavy encirclement and whose true identity was exposed, and the rope that was still tied around He Ye's hands.
Chu Ming was sometimes really impressed by Kudo Shinichi's confidence in himself. You learned so much theoretical knowledge in Hawaii, but you failed to improve your fighting skills and singing.
You can't do it, but He Ye Xing is, at least she is an Aikido master, why don't you help her untie the rope, and you'll have an extra helper!
Alas, I am so disappointed!
Chu Ming quietly patted Xiaolan beside him and said, "Okay, it's time for us to go on stage."
I must not give Hattori the opportunity to appear, and I must not allow him to have time to chat with Kazuha privately. Otherwise, once they exchange messages, how can I earn emotion points?
This is something I should be the one to say!
It is my duty to promote the relationship between young couples!
After receiving the signal, Xiaolan, whose anger was almost overwhelming, jumped up from behind the firewood pile, kicked down several people surrounding Kudo Shinichi and Kazuha, and protected Kudo Shinichi behind her.
"Ran?" Kudo Shinichi's calm expression broke a little at this moment, and he asked in shock, "Why are you here?"
Chu Ming took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was drawn to Xiaolan and jumped onto the wall. He was now on the eaves of the main entrance, sitting on it with his legs outstretched. He said calmly, "Why, you only have eyes for Xiaolan?"
It’s too low to appear from the firewood pile. He should be more impressive and jump down from the eaves later. How handsome.
