"Of course." Hattori Heiji nodded and immediately recited the song he had heard at that time.

"Maruzhu Yi Erashi Oike

Bride Hexagonal Octopus Brocade

Four-stringed Buddha Takamatsu Mangojo

Snowshoes clang fish racks

Walking through six streets and seven streets

After eight streets, you will reach Toji-dori.

Just cross nine streets and you'll arrive."

This nursery rhyme is very famous, at least in Kyoto most children can sing it.

Because Kyoto's streets are laid out in a "chessboard road system," the roads look like a large square divided into many small squares, and the roads are all straight.

So the song is about streets running from north to south, and then starting a new row, there are parallel streets running from west to east.

for example:

Marutake

Yi Er

Oshiomiike

This is the direction from north to south, and the second row starts with the names of the north and south streets from west to east.

"You're totally looking for a needle in a haystack."

After listening to Hattori Heiji's clues, Conan complained: "If you just pick up a kid on the street now, maybe they will sing your ballad..."

"Stop nagging. What do you care?" Hattori Heiji said angrily.

"I think that finding someone is secondary. What's important is your current state of mind."

Tang Ze stopped the two from bickering and looked at Hattori Heiji and said, "Just now you said you haven't thought about what to do when you meet. Does that mean you still like Kazuha?"

"Of course!"

When he was not in front of the person involved, Hattori Heiji spoke with great momentum.

But unfortunately, he is a typical "bully at home" who can only brag and speak the truth in front of his same-sex friends. When he is in front of the real person, he is in trouble and cowardly faster than an ostrich.

"In that case, you have to think about how to explain this matter clearly."

Tang Ze offered his own advice: "Whether it's a casual or serious explanation, both are good methods."

"is that so?"

Hattori Heiji scratched his head and said, "Think about it carefully... But please, Miss Ayako, help me find out what Kazuha thinks so that I can formulate a countermeasure..."

At this point, Hattori Heiji said with suspicion: "Detective Karasawa, you said Sister Ayako... No, you won't betray me and be bribed by Sister Ayako to leak my information, right!?"

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji really felt that this was a possibility, and he looked at Tang Ze with a vigilant look.

"What are you talking about? Ayako will naturally listen to me."

Tang Ze patted his chest, his face full of confidence: "Don't worry, that's the spy I sent out."
