Chapter 1149: The Last Karatsu, First Love in Crisis
Conan pinched his chin and analyzed, "In other words, this explosion was a disguise to make everyone think that Nagoro was dead!"
"Wait a minute," Hattori Heiji sensed something was wrong. "If we let everyone think Nagoro is dead at this point, then that means the remaining two of the six karuta cards that Nagoro is good at have been given to someone without us knowing?"
Suddenly, Ayanokouji said, "There are no more two."
Yuya and the other two looked at him in surprise.
Ayanokouji explained, "Otaki just contacted me. Achiha's assistant discovered that President Achiha received an email with karuta cards in it this morning."
Hattori Heiji's expression changed. "So, there's only one left? Who will it be given to?"
Achiha Kensuke received a karuta email in the morning, but there was still one card left to send. At this time, Achiha should have gone to Gaoyuetang.
Yuya looked up at the towering Gaoyue Hall in the distance. At this time, Achiha Kensuke, Ooka Momiji, and... Toyama Kazuha?
Yuya suddenly realized something: "Hattori, I think I know who the last karuta was given to."
Hattori Heiji was shocked: "Who?!"
Yuya said in a deep voice: "The reason why that karuta has not been sent out is because the recipient has not been determined. However, until not long ago, the recipient was finally determined..." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to Gaoyue Hall in the distance.
Hattori Heiji, Conan and Ayanokouji followed Yuya's fingers and the two detectives' faces suddenly changed.
Hattori Heiji anxiously shouted to Ayanokouji: "Inspector, send someone to check Kazuha's phone immediately!"
Ayanokouji was a little confused, but seeing that both detectives looked very anxious, he knew what they had deduced. He contacted his subordinates on his cell phone and asked them what was going on.
Yuya explained: "The reason why the real murderer has not sent the last karuta is because he doesn't know who will enter the finals."
Hearing this, Ayanokouji finally reacted and his face turned pale: "Could it be that the criminal's target is the three people in Gaoyue Hall?!"
Not to mention Achiha Kensuke and Ooka Momiji, they have already received karuta, and based on reasoning, Toyama Kazuha has probably also received karuta.
And now these three are gathered in Gaoyue Hall because of the finals. Doesn't this give the murderer a chance to catch them all in one fell swoop?!
Hattori Heiji looked up at Gaoyue Hall, which was built against the cliff, with his eyes flashing. Judging from the nature of these incidents, the murderer must have installed explosives in Gaoyue Hall!
It was definitely too late to row across the lake and then take the elevator up, but...
Hattori Heiji looked up and saw the empty cliff edge. Since he couldn't go up from the bottom, he would go up!
Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji turned around and ran without hesitation.
Yuya and Conan quickly chased after him.
At the same time, in Gaoyue Hall.
Achiha Kensuke looked at Ooka Momiji and Toyama Kazuha who were kneeling below him, and suddenly said, "I want to apologize to you two."
"Huh?" Ooka Momiji and Toyama Kazuha showed surprised expressions, not understanding what this meant.
But Achiha had no intention of explaining and announced the start of the finals.
Utaha cards had already been placed between Ooka Momiji and Toyama Kazuha. After hearing Achiha's words, the two sat facing each other and looked at each other with fighting eyes.
"I will definitely win the game, Heiji is mine!" X2
On the other side, Ayanokouji also confirmed that Toyama Kazuha received a karuta email on her phone and immediately ordered the game to be terminated.
Suddenly, there was an explosion, and flames suddenly burst out from the bottom of Gaoyue Hall, instantly igniting the wooden support and slowly spreading upwards.
At the same time, because of the explosion, the broadcasting equipment was also blown up, the big screen in the viewing venue went black, and the guests watching the game began to talk about it.
The explosion also caused Gaoyuetang to shake, but the equivalent of the explosives was well controlled, and it only shook a few times before returning to calm.
Ooka Momiji and Toyama Kazuha were a little surprised, but Achiha Kensuke remained calm and said calmly, "It might be an earthquake. This level won't have any impact."
The two girls calmed down and turned their attention back to the karuta in front of them.
Ayanokouji and his men rushed to the other side of the lake. Seeing the huge fire at the bottom of Gaoyue Hall, he was shocked and asked, "What's the matter with this fire?"
He guessed the explosion might have occurred at the base of Gaoyue Hall, but wasn't the fire too big? Could the killer have added flammable materials to intensify the fire?
Gaoyuetang is located in a very awkward location. Although the scenery is beautiful, it will be a headache if a fire occurs. The road leading here is too narrow and the fire truck has no way to get in.
The fire-fighting equipment in the hall seemed to have been destroyed and there was no sign of it being activated.
At the same time, Hattori Heiji drove a motorcycle and took Conan to the villa on the mountain.
Conan grabbed Hattori Heiji's waist tightly to prevent himself from falling down, and asked loudly: "Hattori, how are we going to get into Gaoyue Hall?"
Hattori Heiji shouted back, "Leave it to me, don't worry!"
Conan was a little confused. Seeing a huge rock in the direction of the motorcycle, his eyes suddenly trembled: "No way?!"
The next second, the motorcycle soared into the sky, passed over the houses and rushed into the forest, bumping along the mountain road.
Conan grabbed Hattori Heiji's waist tightly and asked, "Hattori, who do you think the criminal is?"
Hattori Heiji looked at the "road" ahead and shouted back, "After the Satsuki Cup started, there was no one else who could return to the hall and plant the explosives except that man, right?!"
Yuya's voice rang in their ears: "Achiha Kensuke! We were all deceived by him."
The motorcycle couldn't carry three people, so Youya could only keep in touch with the two of them through the phone.
At this time, Yuya was also on his way to the top of the mountain, holding a sharp samurai sword in his hand, constantly slashing to create a path.
The motorcycle is indeed faster, but the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Yuya relies on his legs to go straight to the top of the mountain, and his speed is not much slower than Hattori Heiji and Conan.
Conan also said angrily: "In order to find the final goal, he actually planned to die together with us?"
Hattori Heiji's eyes sparkled, and the figure of Toyama Kazuha flashed before his eyes. He roared angrily, "How could I let him succeed in such a thing?"
"He Ye, wait for me!"
While the three of them were desperately trying to get on their way, the competition in Gaoyue Hall also came to an end.
There were only two karuta cards left in front of Ooka Momiji and Toyama Kazuha.
The card in front of Ooka Koye is the one that Toyama Kazuha chose based on Hattori Shizuka's suggestion, and it is also her trump card to defeat Ooka Koye!
Ooka Hongye naturally also noticed this. She glanced at the katari that read "For whom are you troubled, that you are questioned by others" and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly - is this the katari that will surely win you?
I will never let you get it. As long as you keep this card, victory will be mine!
