Chapter 451 He Ye's Troubles

Chapter 452

Silent all night.

The next morning, Conan left the hotel without even having breakfast. I don't know when my dad left the hotel. Around nine o'clock, Xiaolan knocked on my door, indicating that they were ready to go out. At this time, Heye was not far from the hotel near Sannoji Temple. We could set off.

After packing my luggage, I patted my face in front of the mirror to refresh myself. After all, I will see He Ye soon, and I can't look sad.

About half an hour later, Xiaolan took us to the foot of Sannoji Temple where we met Kazuha.

"Xiaolan, Sonoko, this way~" On the other side of the road, Kazuha, who was wearing a green suit, waved to us. Xiaolan and Sonoko also waved enthusiastically, and then pulled me over.

"Long time no see, Sister He Ye." When I arrived at the other side, I was the first to greet He Ye.

"Hehe, long time no see, Xun-chan~" When seeing me coming, He Ye's face was also full of smiles.

Sure enough, this voice can heal people.

The three girls discussed it and decided to go to Kyoto to have breakfast first, and then go to Kiyomizu Temple to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

Kazuha had originally made an appointment with Hattori to go before, but Hattori was busy with the serial murder case, so this time Kazuha wanted to go with Xiaolan and the others to see the cherry blossoms.

Strangely enough, these high school girls don’t seem to be interested in trendy things in the city, but are instead fascinated by the scenery outside the city.

Perhaps this is the meaning of "If you are not a fish, how can you understand the joy of a fish?"

After breakfast, everyone followed Kazuha all the way to Kiyomizu Temple, and walked to the top of the mountain to look down.

Unlike the cherry blossoms inside the Sannoji Temple, the mountains outside the Kiyomizu Temple are covered with pink flowers.

"Ah, such a beautiful scenery..." Yuanzi looked intoxicated.

"It would be great if I could watch it with Ah Zhen!" It was rare that Xiaolan made a joke about Sonoko, making him blush.

Speaking of Kyogoku Makoto, I don't think I've seen him since we last met on the beach. We were supposed to fight again if we had the chance, but unfortunately we never met again.

According to Xiaolan, on the last Valentine's Day, when Sonoko and the others were making chocolates, Kyogoku Makoto went to the chocolate hut because he was jealous. As a result, the two of them completely decided to be a couple at that time.

Seeing the couples around her, Xiaolan was extremely envious.

"Huh?" The two were joking when they noticed that not far away from them, He Ye was indeed looking unhappy.

"Wakaba-chan, did you have a fight with Hattori?" Feeling that the atmosphere was wrong, Xiaolan walked over to Wakaba and asked, but all she got was a shake of her head.

"In fact, Hattori has been coming to Kyoto to handle cases frequently recently." After a long silence, Kazuha, looking disappointed, expressed his displeasure. "And I heard that his first love is here."

"This guy, I didn't expect Hattori is not a down-to-earth person." After hearing what He Ye said, I couldn't help but smile.

"Kaoru-chan..." He Ye was a little unhappy.

"Hehe, I'm just kidding. Don't worry, Sister Heye, Hattori is not that kind of person." I laughed. "Although that charcoal-headed guy's mind is full of cases and his mind is not delicate enough, but in terms of feelings, I believe he will not let you down."

"You, what are you saying?" He Ye's face turned red instantly. She couldn't be sure that the elementary school kid in front of her could say such words.

"Okay, okay, we are here to relax today, so let's not think about these things here for now. We will listen to your gossip about your husband during lunch later."

"What, what husband?" Kazuha's face turned red instantly, but her previous frustration also disappeared for the most part because of Sonoko's joke.

"Hehe, alright, alright." It's rare that Yuanzi stood by me this time. "We came here to relax."

"Yeah...you are right." After thinking about it, He Ye decided to put the matter aside for the time being. After all, the purpose of going out to play is to relax.

Finally, we reached a consensus to put aside our unhappiness for a while and enjoy the scenery and food here. After all, if you are going out to play, you should act like you are going out to play.

So, Heye temporarily put aside his unhappiness and started a sweeping trip in the mountains with Xiaolan, Sonoko and me, the food-eater.

When talking about Kyoto's cuisine, we have to mention the local teppanyaki and yakiniku specialties. The fresh bamboo shoots are wrapped with black pork and slowly roasted on a plate, which not only retains the freshness of the meat, but also the fragrance of the bamboo shoots. When paired with a bowl of simple miso soup, it can be said to be an authentic Kyoto enjoyment.

The same is true for teppanyaki. In addition, most of the shops in Kyoto have simple barbecue and grilled fish. After the meal, I was full.

Finally, we came to a store at the foot of the mountain, which was the end of this trip. After eating and drinking, Xiaolan and Sonoko took the initiative to bring up what Kazuha had said before. "Actually, this matter was because of a report of an interview." Kazuha said, while taking out a newspaper from his bag and pushing it to Xiaolan and Sonoko. "It was a very popular intelligence magazine. The reporter asked Heiji about his first love in it. He said that it was when he was in the third grade of elementary school and met a girl who was a little older than him."

"He's in the third grade of elementary school, so he's only nine years old? Isn't this too early to fall in love?" I sat next to Xiaolan, drinking a glass of watermelon drink in both hands.

"You, a guy who kidnapped a girl in the first grade of elementary school, have no right to say that." Yuanzi pinched my face like a gossip.

"At that time, he said that he had a token of her. He even asked a reporter to take this photo." He Ye ignored my complaints and continued to point to the photo to Xiaolan and the others.

Following Kazuha's finger, I saw Hattori on the newspaper with a silly smile on his face and a white crystal bead in his hand.

"What the hell?" I looked at what Hattori was holding. It looked familiar. It seemed like... I had seen it somewhere before? It was something that happened recently. But I couldn't remember where it was for a while.

"What is this?" Xiaolan took a closer look.

"It's just an ordinary crystal bead. I was the one who gave it to her by that girl." He Ye explained.

"Sister He Ye, danger."

"Hmm? What did you say, Xiaoxun?"

"No, nothing. Waiter sister, please give me a piece of watermelon." I smiled and waved to the waitress not far away.

"Then, He Ye, you and this girl..."

"How could I know her? It seems that Heiji has only seen her once. After that, every time he came to Kyoto, Heiji would look for her." Kazuha's face was gloomy.

“No, how could he be found since he was nine years old until now, when he is eighteen? Uh, well, I don’t seem to have the qualifications to say this.” I just wanted to complain, but then I remembered that I had been missing for ten years and came back on my own, so I didn’t seem to have the qualifications to convince the department.

"So, Hattori asked the reporter to take a picture of this crystal bead, so that after the singing girl saw the report, she would come to find him on her own?" Sonoko analyzed to herself.

"Yeah, you see he's quite vulgar, right?" Kazuha was very dissatisfied with Heiji's use of the public bus for personal purposes. "And to make it easier for the girl to find him, he even posted photos of himself when he was a child." Kazuha turned to the next page, which contained photos of Hattori when he was a child. At that time, he should have been learning kendo, but judging from his vigor at the age of nine, he was much more immature than a kid like me who had worked in an organization.

"Wow, so cute~" Out of love for the little boy, Xiaolan subconsciously praised him.

"Really? Really?! Heiji was really cute at that time!" Kazuha became excited instantly.

After all, she was a girl, and when she talked about the boy she liked when he was a child, she couldn't help herself subconsciously, completely forgetting that she was still complaining. However, as a reserved woman, He Ye also reacted quickly and covered up her embarrassment.

"But, Xiaolan, the current situation is not the point."

"I think, Kazuha, you don't need to worry so much. Even if Hattori really has a first love, that's all in the past. Aren't you the one who is with him now? And you two feel very good about each other now." After all, she is Xiaolan, and she can always find ways to comfort others.

"But, Heye, you have to be careful. First love is a special thing for a boy." Sonoko said with a gossipy look on her face.

"Okay, Yuanzi." Xiaolan said complainingly.

"Gossip." I muttered quietly below.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." He Ye put away the newspaper to ease the awkwardness and changed the subject. "By the way, do you want to drink red bean soup? The red bean soup here is very famous. Madam, please bring four bowls of red bean soup~"

"Ah..." Looking at Kazuha who forced to change the subject, I couldn't help but shake my head. When it comes to love between men and women, this couple and Kudo's couple can also compete.

Having said that, I subconsciously looked at Xiaolan, but inadvertently saw a hint of envy and sadness flash across Xiaolan's eyes.

"This girl... is she not reminded of the past again?" I frowned, but I felt relieved after thinking about it. On one hand, there was Kudo, who had disappeared for a long time, and on the other hand, there was me, her brother, who had disappeared for more than ten years. The double longing made her envy Kazuha in front of her. At least, Hattori was still by her side. And herself.

"Sister Xiaolan, I..."

hum~
Just when I was about to say something to comfort her, I heard my cell phone ringing.

Flipping open my phone, I saw a text message suddenly came to my phone.

[I need a financial reference now. Please call me tomorrow at 12:30 pm.]

Looking at the text on the phone, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows. Then I looked at the sender and a faint smile appeared at the corner of my mouth.

Mary wrote back.

　I wanted to make it on Kudo's birthday, but I overestimated my hand speed. So happy belated birthday~
