Chapter 221 Fifteen Gachapon

Chijiang Nayue is not an idiot.

Let me reiterate that Akae Nazuki is not really directionally impolite. It's just that when Hagiwara was on the Shinkansen and communicated with Matsuda who was sleeping, he pretended not to remember that they could chat on the phone, and asked him questions like "It's still early, let's go sightseeing after getting off the train" using poor sign language.

Of course, Akae Tsukiya couldn't understand Hagiwara's meaningless and nonsense "sign language". Hagiwara said this himself after getting off the bus, and he deliberately avoided Matsuda.

He had no idea what the point of doing this was...but since he was very moved by the prank played by Curly-haired guy who seemed to be in a very bitter and vengeful mood today, Akajang Nayue nodded in agreement with a righteous look on his face.

That's why the situation like this happened: Matsuda looked up and found that the detective who had been leading the way had brought them to the edge of Kyoto City.

According to the geographical location, if they walked a little further out of Fushimi District, they would even leave Kyoto City. Even though they and Maizuru City are both in Kyoto Prefecture, 'Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture' and 'Maizuru City, Kyoto Prefecture' are completely two different things. No wonder Jinpei Matsuda looked like he really wanted to rush up and smash the detective's head.

"I'm really impressed by you two grown-up kids." With a look of disappointment on his face, Jinpei Matsuda sternly reprimanded the two mushrooms kneeling on the bench in front of him.

"——Don't give me directions!" His voice overlapped with the sound of the boy's collapse across the street.

Jinpei Matsuda suddenly had an epiphany, he looked up and met the eyes of the dark-skinned boy opposite him who also looked up.

From the look in their eyes, I can tell that they are all people who have been tricked by a road idiot.

After understanding the eye contact between the two, Akae Nazuki almost jumped off the bench, and changed from a scolding mushroom to a cherry bomb. He bounced over and knocked Matsuda, who was slandering his reputation, to the ground.

"Forget it, detective. Jinpei is still a child." Officer Hagiwara, who is good at bomb disposal, skillfully pulled the detective aside and began to add fuel to the fire. "Just give him some green peppers with rice at lunch. Just be patient and keep calm."

"…Hey, I can hear you." Matsuda interrupted the two people's whispering with a frown on his face.

At this time, the boy and girl across the street also came over and took the initiative to introduce themselves. Hagiwara and Matsuda then learned that the boy was also a high school detective from Osaka.

"However, the name Hattori combined with Osaka sounds a bit familiar." Matsuda frowned and thought hard.

This time it was not Hagiwara who spoke, but the detective. He had a strawberry-flavored pocky in his mouth and was sitting on a bench, shaking his upper body and scratching his head: "The chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters is also named Hattori. He must be his father."

"Hmm? That's right." Hattori Heiji looked at the detective in surprise, then nodded readily.

Although it is true, there are so many people with the last name Hattori in Osaka, it is strange that he guessed it right, right?

——The girl named Kazuha asked curiously.

"Because he judged that Matsuda and Hagiwara were police officers just by looking at their bodies."

Hattori Heiji started his self-introduction with "Good morning, officers."

The detective was always patient with children. Even though he judged that the child was only three or four years younger than him, he patiently explained to Kazuha: "This shows that Hattori often sees police officers in his living environment. He is already familiar with people in this profession. But being a detective does not mean that he will encounter homicides every day. The only police officers he can encounter every day are probably his family members."

"And if you look closely, his features are indeed very similar to those of Inspector Hattori." Hagiwara added with a smile, and changed the subject, "Come to think of it, Hattori, who is a detective in Osaka, would come to Kyoto at this time. He should not be here just for fun, right?"

Matsuda raised his eyebrows and understood: "Ah, you mean he was also invited to that party?"

"It's impossible that we invited all the detectives from Kanto without inviting the famous detectives from Kansai, Xiao Zhenping." Hagiwara said helplessly.

Akae Nazuki bit the pocky cookie in her mouth and glanced at the young detective's expression: "They are police officers, but I am not."

He pretended not to hear the sounds of Matsuda and Hagiwara trying to hold back their laughter: "Furiya Rei, a detective like you."

Hattori Heiji was surprised, but he tried to hold it in, and finally managed to swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. After thinking for a while, he said, "Ah, in Tokyo, there seems to be such a detective recently... Are you a distant relative of Kudo? So, I originally wanted to go to Tokyo to challenge him, but I asked a police officer I know to check, and it turns out that it is you and your brother who are temporarily staying at his house."

The black-haired, red-eyed detective yawned and nodded.

The brown-skinned boy immediately smiled brightly: "That's great. I heard from you that you are also here to attend the detective party, right? Then how about we work together? I happen to be very familiar with Kyoto, so I can take everyone on a good tour here, don't worry!"

"Anyway, we all have one backpack, so we can take the Maizuru Red Brick Express to Kyoto Station, and we'll be in Maizuru in about an hour and a half. We can also play around in the city on the way." He looked very interested. "Besides, it's rare to meet someone who knows Kudo, and I also want to chat with Furuya more."

The detective showed a serious expression.

"First of all," the young-looking detective said seriously, "I am four years older than you... Although it doesn't matter if you don't use honorifics, I am four years older than you."

Matsuda cast a confused look at Hagiwara, who looked around and explained in a low voice, "Because Hattori-kun seemed to think that Detective-chan was the same age, he was very unhappy."

Looking over, Hattori and Kazuha were indeed shocked. They never expected that a detective who looked like a high school student was actually already twenty or twenty-one years old.

Matsuda and the other had no objection to Hattori's suggestion, not to mention Akae Nazuki. He had the sudden idea of ​​inviting the two to come to Kyoto with him. In addition to perfecting the script, he also wanted to make the two have fun. It would be great to have someone who is more familiar with the place to lead the way.

"But it's cherry blossom season now, and there are a lot of people in Kiyomizu Temple. Today is a holiday, so if you want to go there, you must be prepared to be crowded." Hattori said, holding his chin.

The group of five were not in a hurry, so after getting on the bus to the city center, they simply sat in the seats by the window and started chatting.

Toyama and Hashiro couldn't help but complain about what the other three were thinking: "So, Heiji, why do you know so much about Kyoto's attractions? Aren't we born and raised in Osaka?"

"Idiot, only if you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!" Hattori Heiji said righteously.

"Eh, rival?" Kazuha was stunned, and tried hard to think of a name, "Okita Souji from Izumi High School? I remember you played against each other in the National Kendo Tournament in your first year of high school. This should be considered a kendo rival, right?"

After thinking about it, Kazuha couldn't help but add: "I remember that time Okita-kun also injured Heiji's ear with the five-stage thrust...ah, so Heiji, you came to Kyoto to learn about Okita-kun?!"

Hattori Heiji was embarrassed and angry: "Who wants to know Kyoto for that guy! I am——"

The childhood sweethearts sat in the front row, while Akae, Nayue and the other two sat in the three-person seats in the row behind them.

This kind of seating arrangement is particularly unreliable when the other party is flirting.

The detective looked at him for a while, then turned to look at the emotionally intelligent Hagiwara and asked sincerely, "Couple?" "Hmm, give the boy some face, detective." Hagiwara smiled and whispered to the detective.

"Don't say weird things to the little devil." Matsuda pulled his friend back by the collar and blurted out the name out of habit.

The three people in the back row all paused for a moment and simultaneously skipped over the topic.

It's not time yet.

As if he felt it was not nice to ignore the 'guest', Hattori Heiji turned around and asked curiously, "I wanted to ask this before, why didn't the two officers drive here? That would be more convenient, and the navigation wouldn't make it easier to get lost."

It was an ordinary question, but three people responded in three different ways.

Akae Nazuki looked away, Hagiwara Kenji looked guilty, and Matsuda Jinpei was on the verge of exploding when his sad memories were brought up again.

"Because of these two guys, one was racing his motorcycle on the rooftop the day before yesterday, and his car was temporarily confiscated by the traffic department. The other one drove his car into the wall while chasing a criminal yesterday, and the car is still being repaired in the factory." He explained quietly.

Hattori Heiji was amazed: "You Tokyo people really know how to have fun..."

He suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait, Officer Matsuda, where's your car?"

Matsuda Jinpei took a deep breath and sneered: "It was because Hagi's car was damaged when he was chasing the criminal, so he drove my car when he went home."

Bathed in the sympathetic eyes of Hattori who had already guessed the outcome, Matsuda Jinpei was extremely upset and wished he could chop off Yukinen's head with his bare hands right there and then.

"Because of this, my car has been confiscated by the Traffic Division." Matsuda Jinpei rubbed his hair, his face full of heartache, "I don't know if they will treat my car well."

In response, Hattori Heiji expressed his respect... and was genuinely curious about the detective and Hagiwara's driving skills.

If there is a chance, I really want to sit down and watch, or even have a match with Mr. Fūya. He thought eagerly.

Kazuha leaned against the window and was lost in thought. Suddenly, with her mind full of ideas, she turned to another topic: "Hey, Heiji, your driving skills are not as good as those of the police officers and Mr. Fūya."

She laughed out loud without disguising her feelings.

Hattori Heiji was mocked by Ome and was about to swear that no one had the right to say that before the comparison.

Then he heard about the motorcycle and Matsuda's car being 'kidnapped' and taken back to the Ministry of Transportation as a large display.

...Forget it, if he's racing on the streets of Osaka and even drives his motorcycle up against a wall...

"I will definitely be beaten to death by my dad." Hattori Heiji muttered unceremoniously.

...but it sounds really cool!
