Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1128 The plan failed

Hattori Heiji's words were like a sharp arrow shooting into Homura Renji's heart, making his face turn pale.

Hattori Heiji continued, "Also, the sound of sharpening something they heard in the bathroom should be the sound of you pressing the bamboo stick against the wall to round the tip, right?"

"If that's the case, then the inside of your bamboo sword belt should be stained with blood, right? The blood of the deceased Mr. Bataya."

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako immediately walked over and said, "Please let us confirm it."

Facun Renji drooped his shoulders weakly, gave up struggling, and sighed: "Although I cleaned it in the toilet, it will definitely be able to detect a blood reaction, right?"

Sato Miwako stopped and looked back at Homura Renji: "So, you admit your crime of murder?"

Homura Renji nodded weakly.

Sato Miwako was a little confused and took out a bamboo sword from her bag: "But why use a bamboo sword? Wouldn't it be easier to cut the throat with a real knife? And it wouldn't be so troublesome to handle."

"That's my son's knife..."

Two years ago, in a very important game, Renji Homura's son involuntarily struck a victory pose after scoring a crucial point. As a result, the referee ruled that the score was invalid for violating the rules, which also resulted in their school not winning the team championship.

His son felt extremely guilty about this incident, thinking it was all his fault. He was unable to face his classmates and teachers and eventually committed suicide by hanging himself.

The referee at that time was Ba Gu.

Originally, Ba Gu was acting according to the rules and had done nothing wrong.

But in today's game, Nakamura Renji discovered that a player from Izumi Shin High School also struck a victory pose during the game. However, the referee, Ba Gu, was biased because they were both from Kansai. He turned a blind eye to this illegal behavior and even personally encouraged the student.

Because of this scene, the grievance in Facun Renshi's heart burst out into resentment, and he killed Ba Gu.

However, the truth is not so.

Okita Souji took out an amulet from his chest and said, "I think the contestant's action at that time should have covered the amulet, right?"

Facun Rensi looked over in surprise.

Okita Souji explained, "Because that first-year high school player said he wanted to win no matter what, I lent him this amulet."

He looked at the amulet in his hand and said proudly, "This is the amulet from the Eight Great Shrines that has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. As long as I wear this amulet, I have never lost a game. When he won the game, he cried and stuffed the amulet back. As a result, he was warned by the referee not to cry during the game."

"He was crying and saying things like thanking the gods. You probably mistook that for a victory pose, didn't you?"

Facun Rensi was stunned. So, what he saw was what he thought. In fact, Ba Gu did not favor anyone at all.

He thought the victory pose was the athlete crying and thanking God; he thought it was encouragement, but in fact Ba Gu was warning the athletes not to cry on the field.

Is this what he thought?

Did he kill a good man by mistake?

"No, it's impossible!"

How could Renji Homura accept this fact? He took advantage of Miwako Sato's inattention and snatched the bamboo sword from her hand and rushed towards Souji Okita, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment on him.

"You're lying to me!"

Okita Souji and Hattori Heiji were standing very close to each other. They did not panic at all when they saw this. Instead, they gripped their bamboo swords tightly and prepared to fight back. However, they did not expect a figure to suddenly pass over them, soar into the air, and kick Honji Homura away with a flying kick.

"???!!!"

Hattori Heiji and Okita Souji widened their eyes and looked at Ran Mouri who suddenly appeared in confusion.

Especially Okita Souji, his eyes were about to pop out. He couldn't understand why a girl who looked so weak could kick an adult man ten meters away?

Yuya gasped. "Was that kick going to kill her?" "What happened to Xiaolan? Where did she get so much resentment from?"

Conan subconsciously covered his crown - he didn't know whether Xiaolan could open it, but if the kick came towards him, he was sure that his crown would be kicked open.

After Mao Lilan landed, she grabbed Hattori Heiji and Okita Souji's wrists with one hand each and turned and ran away in front of everyone's confusion: "What are you still standing there for? Run! The game is about to start!"

The three men were running so fast that they looked like criminals who had just committed a crime and were escaping, especially since there was a man lying there whose life or death was unknown.

If it weren't for Mao Lilan's last sentence that the game was about to start, Sato Miwako would have almost had a stress reaction.

Huh? Yuya was about to follow when he saw something dropped on the ground. He looked down and saw it was Okita Souji's amulet.

"This guy, didn't he say it was something important? Why is he throwing it everywhere?"

Yuya bent down to pick up the amulet and subconsciously squeezed it. From the feel of it, it seemed like there was a photo inside?

Could it be a picture of a girl he's secretly in love with? A common trope in Japanese romances.

Holding the amulet in his hand, Yuya planned to return it to Okita Souji later. After all, this thing should be very important to him, just like an amulet he carries close to his body.

That was before Miyano Shiho and I confirmed our relationship. I saw Hattori Heiji's amulet and was envious, so I shamelessly asked Miyano Shiho for it.

As for what Shiho Miyano said at the time, about putting a pill of APTX4869 in the amulet...of course it was a joke.

Yu didn't know what was inside the amulet. Miyano Shiho didn't allow him to open it, saying that the amulet would lose its effect once opened.

When Yuya and Conan finally arrived at the gymnasium, they saw Toyama Kazuha crying and calling Hattori Heiji an idiot.

Hattori Heiji quickly put the blame on Okita Souji, saying that it was because he wasted time by interrupting the case while solving it, and he could have finished the case before the game started.

That's right, Hattori Heiji finally missed the game and missed the good opportunity to win the championship just by participating in the competition.

Similarly, Hattori Heiji's second confession plan also came to nothing.

Yuya sighed with some regret: "I originally wanted Hattori to solve the case to boost his confidence so that he could bravely confess his feelings, but I didn't expect that I was so focused on the case that I forgot the time."

Now we can only look for another opportunity.

Conan drooped his eyes speechlessly. "Is this your excuse for slacking off the entire time?" Do you think Hattori Heiji would fight you to the death if he found out?

In the audience, Hongye sighed slightly, stood up and said, "Iori, let's go back."

Iori Muga glanced at Hattori Heiji and the others who were making a lot of noise at the door and asked, "Aren't you going to meet Master Hattori, Miss Momiji?"

Hongye shook her head and smiled elegantly: "I hope to meet my future husband on a better stage."

"Of course, that opportunity will come soon."
