Izuki Karuta remained expressionless, paying little attention to Inspector Otaki.

Anyway, he only came to solve the case because he accepted a request from Shizuka Ikemami.

"Now that the case has been solved, we don't need to stay here any longer."

After saying that, Izuki Karuta turned and left.

Xiaolan and Heye followed closely behind.

Before leaving, Kazuha made a face at Heiji, saying, "Now you know what it means to be outmatched and have a world beyond your reach!"

"Without the evidence Mr. Itsuki found, Heiji, you simply can't solve the case!"

These words infuriated Hattori Heiji, but he still pretended to be indifferent: "The police were going to search the warehouse anyway, it was only a matter of time before that tube of paint was found..."

Ke He Ye didn't even turn his head, clearly too lazy to listen.

Ikenami Shizuka didn't continue to provoke Heiji about this, but simply instructed him, "The case is now resolved, Heiji, hurry back to the arena."

"We've already lost the reasoning part, so we can't afford to lose the competition too."

After saying that, Ikeba Shizuka turned and left.

Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth, "Damn it, I didn't lose..."

Conan, who was standing nearby, said, "Izuki Karuta was just lucky. His actions just now didn't count as deduction at all."

"If we hadn't found the paint tube, or if there hadn't been any fingerprints on it, our arrogance would have become a joke."

Little did they know, Izuki Shizuta's divine sense had already covered the entire stadium, and he was fully aware of everything.

But this is something that Heiji Hattori and Conan would never know, much less believe, even if they racked their brains.

Therefore, Heiji Hattori found Conan's words quite reasonable and found Conan increasingly pleasing to the eye.

But I didn't dare look too much, for fear of another awkward situation.

Heiji Hattori turned his head away, sighing inwardly: if it weren't for that dream, he and Conan would definitely have become very good friends.

It's just a pity now...

Afterwards, Heiji Hattori led Conan away from the scene and back to the main kendo arena of the gymnasium.

Because Conan was a participant, Heiji Hattori directly placed him in the waiting area for the Kaifang Academy kendo team.

These are also the best seats for watching the game.

At this moment, the final of this kendo competition is underway, with Kaifang Academy and Tokiwa Academy set up to determine the first and second place winners.

Hattori Heiji is the strongest fighter in the opposing academy, so he naturally has to be the last to appear and face the strongest fighter in the opposing academy.

Judging from the current situation, it will be Hattori Heiji's turn to enter the arena in about ten minutes.

While waiting, Hattori Heiji looked around and soon spotted several figures heading towards the Gaifang Academy audience area.

None of them were wearing school uniforms, but they could be identified by their clothing as Izuki Karuta, Mouri Ran, and Ikenami Shizuka.

"Hopefully they'll leave as soon as they finish watching the game..."

Hattori Heiji muttered to himself.

That way, he could take Conan away as quickly as possible and put him on the Shinkansen back in Beika.

Leaving Conan here will only distract him!

"Hey, Heiji, isn't this kid your younger brother?"

"Why have I never heard you mention this before?"

"But your parents really have a good relationship; they gave you a younger brother who is more than 10 years younger than you."

The students in the kendo club were all curious about Conan's identity.

Conan happens to resemble Heiji Hattori in some ways, leading to the deduction that the two are brothers.

"I'm not his brother!"

"I'm not his brother!"

Heiji Hattori and Conan both denied it in unison.

This level of tacit understanding, however, only fueled the enthusiasm of the kendo club members.

While Hattori Heiji turned to deal with his classmates' teasing,

In the audience of the Gaifang Academy.

Just as Shizuka Ikebab was about to sit down, her wooden clogs accidentally stepped on the hem of her kimono skirt, causing her to lose her balance and fall forward.

Following behind, Izuki Shizuka naturally wouldn't stand idly by. She reached out and put her arm around Ikenami Shizuka's waist, helping her to sit down on a chair.

"I'm so sorry," said Shizuka Ikebab apologetically. "I was just walking carelessly, and I've caused Mr. Izuki a lot of trouble."

Izuki Shizuta smiled and said, "It's nothing. Protecting our clients is my duty."

Because of the close proximity, Izuki Karuta could see it clearly.

When Ikeba Shizuka spoke, there was not a trace of apology on her face.

Moreover, when she hugged her just now, Ikeba Shizuka deliberately twisted a few times.

On the surface, it looks like they are very unwilling, but in reality, it is a kind of code.

Ran and Kazuha hadn't seen those details, and they were already used to Izuki Shigeta's extraordinary skills.

At this moment, the two women were sitting to the left of Itake Karuta, discussing the ongoing match.

Under the tutelage of Itsuki Karuta, Ran and Kazuha have reached a new level in martial arts.

Watching the competition again now, I felt that the players had many flaws, and I commented on them with great interest.

Izuki Karuta turned to look at Ikenami Shizuka, "Ms. Ikenami, I need to remind you that today is the deadline for the last debt."

Chibo Jinghua looked slightly worried, "But they can't come up with that much money right away. Could Mr. Yizhu give us some more time?"

“No.” Itsuki Karuta refused, “I made it very clear before accepting the commission that I would not accept any extensions.”

"If they can't come up with the money, then I'll have to collect the debt in my own way."

Izuki Karuta had already realized that Ikenami Shizuka was deliberately forcing him to take the initiative.

As expected, upon hearing that the debt would be forcibly collected, Ikeba Shizuka's lips curled into a faint smile, "Since it's the rule, then they can only accept it."

"However, if you want to forcibly collect the debt, Mr. Yizhu, I'm afraid you won't have the chance today."

"Unless Mr. Yizhu dares to force his way in..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ikeba Shizuka's expression changed.

"Force your way in if you want," Izuki Qingtian laughed. "Does Miss Ikenami think I wouldn't dare?"

As they were talking, Izuki Shizuka had already put her arm around Ikenami Shizuka's waist...

Chapter 220 How dare you be here...

"Ms. Ikenami."

Izuki Qingtian chuckled and said, "As a debtor, it's not good to speak to your creditor with such provocation."

"If they take the initiative to admit their mistake, I can change the time and place to forcibly collect the debt."

However, based on Izuki Karuta's understanding of Ikenami Shizuka, she most likely won't listen.

As expected, after the initial panic, Ikeba Shizuka quickly calmed down.

Chi Bojinghua smiled and said, "Mr. Yizhu, do you really intend to bully a weak woman like me in front of so many people?"

"If this gets out, it will have a bad impact."

Ikenami Shizuka believed that in public, Itake Karuta could at most scare her.

"Ms. Ikenami, who told you that I care about my reputation?"

As Yi Zhuqingtian spoke, she began to make hand seals and chant incantations, gently knocking on the door of Chi Bojinghua's mental illusion.

The previously composed Chi Bo Jinghua's expression suddenly changed, and her mind was instantly shaken.

He recalled the events from his previous two dreams, which made him even more unsettled.

Even though she gritted her teeth and was very unwilling, the door to the mental illusion was still pried open by Izuki Qingtian with one hand, and she entered directly.

Izuki Karita chuckled and said, "Ms. Ikenami, I hope you have a good time."

Ikeba Shizuka has now been forcibly dragged into a mental illusion.

Although Izuki Karuta did not go in with her, she was fully able to observe and control Ikenami Shizuka's situation.

"How dare you be here..."

Ikeba Shizuka glared at Izuki Shizuka with shame and anger, struggling repeatedly, but still unable to escape the control of the mental illusion.

On the contrary, the disturbance in reality caused the mental illusion to shake as well, which startled Ikeba Shizuka so much that she almost cried out.

Chibo Jinghua quickly controlled her emotions to avoid any inappropriate behavior.

Keep in mind, this is in a bustling stadium, surrounded by students from the Gaifang Academy.
