Hattori Heiji: "..." Faced with such a terrifying Headquarters Chief who might hit people, Jiang Xia had still chosen the latter between "the police" and "detective friends." He would remember this favor! From now on... well, he would definitely have his friend bring Jiang Xia to Osaka more often.
As for himself, he was too busy and probably could not accompany him in time.
Conan, on the other hand, straightforwardly learned from what had just happened. Remembering the Serial Murder Case from thirteen years ago and the possibly armed group, he hesitated before asking, "Shouldn't we notify the police?"
"No!" Hattori Heiji blurted out.
A moment later, feeling that he had been too impulsive, he awkwardly explained, "That would alert them. The police make too much noise when they mobilize, and if these are criminals who have evaded capture for thirteen years, they must be very familiar with police procedures and characteristics. We should find their exact location first, then contact the police."

Hattori Heiji hid behind a large tree and looked toward the "Lord"—Wakisaka Shigehiko—while muttering quietly to the other two, "He isn't heading toward the hotel where the Historical Brigade is staying. Is he going to commit another crime? Does he really plan to kill three... or even four people in one night?"
Conan was about to say something when Jiang Xia thought for a moment, then actually left his hiding place and walked straight out, blocking Wakisaka Shigehiko's path.
Conan:
