Chapter 56 Guardian Knight
"What do you think? This is authentic udon!" Hattori Heiji said proudly: "The soup stock is clear to the bottom, right?"
"Wow~ It's really true!" Conan and others were pleasantly surprised: "It tastes light and delicious!"
Kitahara Sosuke tasted it, and in terms of taste, it was better than what he usually had in Tokyo, so he nodded accordingly.
"Heiji, who is this girl? Your new girlfriend?" The chef leaned against the counter and asked with a familiar smile, and at the same time stretched out his little finger and smiled teasingly.
"Oh, it's very similar?" Hattori Heiji deliberately didn't explain, he chuckled while rubbing his head, and at the same time glanced at the dwarf, who was completely ignored by Conan.
Conan:... Angry! (▼ dishes ▼)
Mao Lilan blushed and explained: "No! I'm from Tokyo..."
At this time, she suddenly felt a murderous gaze staring at her back, and she could not speak anymore.
"Huh?" Mao Lilan turned back in confusion.
"What's wrong?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
Mao Lilan said hesitantly: "Suddenly there was a chill..."
Kitahara Sosuke:......
Watching silently.
He had already known the plot and was paying attention to the door from the beginning, so he saw the girl with a ponytail sneaking into the store following a group of them. When Mao Lilan turned around, she immediately turned her head,
Hiding himself behind a fat aunt, with an expression of gritted teeth and a little bit of grievance, it can be said to be a vivid interpretation of what "jealousy has been overturned".
That was Hattori Heiji’s childhood sweetheart, Toyama Kazuha. The two of them had actually fallen in love with each other for a long time, but Toyama Kazuha had always been embarrassed to speak, but Hattori Heiji was a straight man, and was completely unaware of Xiao Qingmei’s thoughts.
, He only regarded her as his good friend, and at the same time, he still remembered his childhood "first love" - in fact, it was also Toyama Kazuha, but she was wearing makeup at the time, so Hattori Heiji didn't recognize her.
Here, Toyama Kazuha must have mistaken Ran Mao for Hattori Heiji’s girlfriend in Tokyo, followed him all the way without saying anything, and finally stood up to find trouble in front of him with a wave of jealousy, which made it laughable.
Such an interesting experience, Kitahara Sosuke did not want to expose it in advance.
So they went to eat takoyaki again. Toyama and Ye covered their faces with a newspaper and stared at Mao Lilan.
They went to eat okonomiyaki, and Toyama and Ye sat behind the crowd, biting their handkerchiefs bitterly.
Hattori Heiji's enthusiasm is actually mainly directed at his Confidant, Friend, Rival, Life Mentor, Minami. However, because Little Conan is basically equivalent to Maori Ran's leg pendant, from the perspective of a bystander, it is abnormal.
The excited Hattori Heiji has been surrounding Maori Ran, even trying to please her father and younger brother. His ambition is obvious.
Finally, when Hattori Heiji left temporarily, Toyama Kazuha couldn't bear it anymore and walked straight over to sit next to Mao Lilan. He held his chin and sneered, turned around and said: "You are Kudo, right? Heiji often mentions you.
matter."
Conan was shocked, and he quickly reached out his hand to cover Toyama Kazuha's mouth, but Kitahara Sosuke held him down.
Mao Lilan discovered that Toyama and Ye were talking to her. She didn't understand why she called herself "Kudo" and said doubtfully: "Hattori-kun..."
"Stop pretending! I know everything!" Toyama Kazuha suppressed his anger and said fiercely: "You are the woman named Kudo who abducted Heiji in Tokyo, right?"
"Ah?" Conan's nervous expression suddenly turned into beady eyes.
"Ah?" Mao Lilan looked confused, feeling that she could no longer understand Japanese.
Kitahara Sosuke burst out laughing.
……………………
The misunderstanding was resolved, Toyama Kazuha blushed and sat next to her embarrassedly. However, her lively, cheerful and carefree temperament quickly got along with everyone. Her feelings for Hattori Heiji were not understood by anyone except the person involved.
Almost all of it is understood.
"Eh? Beihara-san, are you leaving now?" Mao Lilan asked.
Hattori Heiji also immediately said: "Why leave? I still have many interesting places that I haven't taken you to see!"
"Because I made an appointment to meet my friends before coming to Osaka, and it's almost time now." Sosuke Kitahara looked at his watch, and then said: "Thank you for the hospitality, the food today is very delicious."
"Don't be so polite!" Hattori Heiji said with a smile: "I'll invite you to eat assorted pancakes together next time, it's super delicious!"
"Okay." Kitahara Sosuke smiled and said goodbye to everyone one by one before leaving first.
After walking out of the okonomiyaki shop, they saw the police officer Sakata Yusuke who was driving them all the way leaning against the police car, looking up diagonally upward. Although his expression didn't change much, his eyes looked very cold.
Kitahara Sosuke knew that soon, a body would fall from that place, and Sakata Yusuke would be the murderer.
This person had obviously been paying attention to the door of okonomiyaki. After seeing Kitahara Sosuke, he immediately came over and asked: "Kitahara-san, have you finished eating?"
"No, they are still eating. I have something to do and need to leave first." Kitahara Sosuke nodded at him, and then said, "Why didn't Sakata-san go to eat something with us?"
Every time they went into the restaurant to eat, Sakata Yusuke stayed outside. Although his current job was to be a pick-up and drop-off driver, in fact, no one would have any objections to eating together.
"Thank you for your concern. In fact, I just bought a hamburger and have already eaten it." Sakata Yusuke said with a smile: "Where are you going? Can I arrange a car to take you there?"
"No, I'll just take a taxi."
As he spoke, Kitahara Sosuke had already waved to stop a taxi. Before getting into the car, he looked at Yusuke Sakata, who had a simple and honest smile and even felt a little weak, and asked: "Sakata-san...will you regret yourself?"
"What?" Sakata Yusuke was stunned.
"It's just... you finally got into the police academy, but ended up being dispatched by a teenage boy, and all kinds of other things... do you regret it?" Kitahara Sosuke asked.
Yusuke Sakata subconsciously felt that he seemed to have something to say, but at this moment he had no time to reflect and think about it. He just smiled and said: "How could it be? No matter what kind of path, it is my own choice. The cherry blossom badge on the police badge is My biggest pride! Moreover, Hattori-kun has a sunny and kind personality, so I don’t feel embarrassed at all when I serve him and his friends, but I feel very happy!”
"Really?" Kitahara Sosuke looked at him deeply and then got in the car.
Watching the taxi drive away with its exhaust fumes, the smile on Yusuke Sakata's face disappeared little by little, and finally became a little solemn.
——What's going on? That attitude...is it because you've sensed something?
Is it an illusion? These people just came from Tokyo, how could they discover the truth?
He glanced at the rooftop of the building opposite again, and vaguely saw a piece of cloth hanging on the railing, as if someone had dried the quilt and forgot to take it back.
Only Sakata Yusuke knew that there was a corpse hidden under the cloth. He had been dead for a whole day, just waiting to fall from the sky at the most suitable time. Sakata Yusuke had calculated the position in advance to ensure that the body would hit him. Park your police car on the side of the road without hurting innocent passers-by.
This was the third person he killed, and after that... there were three more people.
Sumie Okazaki...Sotaro Goji...and Kiichiro Numagachi...
Silently reciting the name of his enemy, Sakata Yusuke subconsciously pressed his chest to let the hatred in his chest subside a little. At the same time, he also touched the police manual in his pocket.
"Sakata-san...will you regret yourself?"
For some reason, that seemingly ordinary sentence suddenly rang in my ears.
——No, I will never regret it!
He has already killed three people and can't stop no matter what. His road as a detective has come to an end. As long as he gets rid of the remaining people, his life will come to an end and he will have no regrets!

"Creak... creak..."
The wooden floor was stepped on, making a harsh sound. The skinny man was lying on the ground. When he heard the sound, he immediately sat up on his knees.
"Food...food...give me food...give me food quickly..."
Kithara Sosuke looked down at him, speechless for a moment.
One of this man's hands was handcuffed to a pillar, and his body was so thin that it looked like it was all skin and bones. He had been starved for who knows how long. But Kitahara Sosuke knew that even at this point, he could kill someone at any time.
Numabuchi Kiichiro has very good physical fitness and skills. He once killed people, and was later trained by the black organization as a killer reserve. Unfortunately, he did not achieve the goals expected by the organization, and was used as waste and sent for human experimentation. Numabuchi Miichiro Ichiro ran away in fear, accidentally killing three more people along the way, until he was caught by Sakata Yusuke and imprisoned in this small wooden house as a criminal scapegoat.
He is a brutal serial murderer, a frightened experimental subject, and a poor man who is willing to be arrested in order to return a lost child.
The silence lasted for a while, and Numabuchi Kiichiro finally stopped begging for food. He covered his eyes with his hands and squinted to see who it was, but under the glare of the flashlight, he tried his best and could only see one person. Faint black shadow.
"You're not that policeman. Who...are you?" Kiichiro Numabuchi asked in a hoarse voice.
"I am the enemy of the winery. You should know what winery I am talking about." Kithara Sosuke pushed a bottle of water and a bag of bread in front of him and said at the same time: "What can you tell me about that organization?
Information?"
Numabuchi Kiichiro swallowed, stared straight ahead, and asked: "Information...in exchange for food?"
"No, food and water will be given to you, regardless of whether you have information or not."
"I told you, can you let me go?"
"I will hand you over to the police." Kitahara Sosuke said honestly: "Based on your current situation, you should be sentenced to death after being arrested, right? But it's better than starving to death, right?"
Numabuchi Kiichiro was silent for a moment, looked at the person who had never shown up in the shadows, and said in a low voice: "You are right."
He grabbed the bread on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth hungrily. After Hu Zhihai drank a meal, he threw away the bottle and said, "I don't know much about that organization. If you want to know, I'll tell you everything."
