Duell der Detektive

entrance door

"That damn ....." growled Heiji. He wanted to let go of all his frustration and all his anger. Dorar annoyed him, not only that he had ordered the three of them here, now he had also lured Kazuha and Ran, where Kazuha was more important to him, and used the girl as leverage.
"You should swear less and look at the area more," added Saguru. He stayed out of the whole incident between the stranger and the two other detectives. He didn't have to interfere either, as no leverage was used against him and he also did all of this voluntarily. On the one hand, he wanted to prove that he was a good detective, maybe even better than Shinichi. Besides, there was still his honor. Over time, the Hakubas' family was forgotten; they no longer appeared in connection with detective work, but had been ousted by the kudos. Saguru could not and would not accept that any longer. Although he officially competed as a European detective, he also took the chance to prove himself as a detective of the East. On the other hand, however, his protective instinct was awakened, he wanted to try at all costs to free the two girls from Dorar's hands. Two innocents should not care for what the three boys saw as their work for suffering. Hakuba was certain of this and he wanted to remind his counterpart once again that it would make more sense to know the area thoroughly before getting involved in a game with fire.
"Then I'll start a little later, it can't be that bad. And stop making rules, I'll do what I want and besides, the environment will certainly not be necessary, right Kudo?", Threw Hattori one. Didn't Hakuba understand that his mind was on something completely different? "Kudo ...?", Heiji looked around because his friend had disappeared.Gulping, he hoped that Shinichi hadn't become Conan again, but he was lucky and soon saw the young student detective in the garden. "What are you doing there?" Hattori called.
"I'm looking around here," Shinichi shouted to Heiji. It was exactly what Dorar wanted, even if it was maybe just to bridge time, but should it be necessary to get to know each other out here, the detective of the east wanted to get to know the area better.
"Aha ... then wait, I'll have a look around too," said Heiji and looked at Hakuba again, who was just watching the two of them. “Don't you want to look around too?” The detective of the West wished that Saguru would say no, he didn't want the boy to look around too, as this would disturb the current peace again.
"You forgot the fact that I was here before you and looked around, but don't force yourself, I can do my own thing here while you two look around," said the boy and looked at the villa. It was big and even had more than one front door, which would have been better if you wanted to go into the garden.
"Know-it-alls," Heiji mumbled softly and then, like Shinichi, went into the garden and looked around. He wasn't so sure himself why Saguru kept getting on his nerves so much. Maybe it was the fact that he was always teased when he did something wrong or just did something his own way. Or maybe it was envy, thought Hattori. The idea of ​​it wasn't bad at all, Saguru had been jealous of Heiji because the boy from Osaka just did everything according to his intuition and relied on what he was doing. In Heiji's head this idea was not bad at all and the longer he thought about it, the more he felt confirmed in it, but on the other hand, he didn't believe it anymore.Why should another detective be jealous, especially when he's been getting around almost all over the world? No, that didn't even make sense to Heiji.
"Well leave it, just stop arguing with him, it won't do either of you anything anyway," Shinichi asked, who was slowly becoming unable to endure all the bickering. Even if he was a little further away, he could still hear the two of them. With these words the young detective got his friend out of his thoughts and he was very grateful for it.
"He always annoys me and if it wasn't about Kazuha, then I would show them what a rake is," said Hattori, who by 'the' meant not only Hakuba but also Dorar.
"Don't get upset, you have better things to do than worry about it. We'd better think about how we can trick this Dorar into freeing Ran and Kazuha," Shinichi interjected.
"You saw which guys are with both of them, not even Ran was able to break free with her karate", Heiji sighed. Unconsciously, he destroyed Shinichi's hopes to get Ran out before something worse happened here.
"I know that too, but we still have to try to get the two of us out, even if it's just one of us. Hattori, if I don't know what to do and you keep coming back to this next level, promise me that you get Ran out of there too, "Shinichi asked.
"You know just like me that it will never happen like this," said Heiji.
"Heiji, promise me," Shinichi said again. This time he had been really serious, which was expressed by the fact that he called his friend by his first name and did not address him as Hattori as usual.
"I promise ... but also promise me that if I don't make it. Save Kazuha," said Heiji.
"I promise you can rely on me," Shinichi nodded and put his hand on Heiji's shoulder in a friendly manner.The two had really been friends and could always rely on the other, no matter what the situation, even now that Dorar announced that the two were enemies in this game.

After both of them had looked around outside for more than half an hour, Dorar went back to his work. He had allowed enough time to prepare for everything, but also to increase the thrill a bit.
"My dear detectives, please gather at the southern entrance of the villa and for everyone who doesn't know where it is, I mean the main door," said Dorar. His voice was distributed at full volume over several loudspeakers so that the three detectives could no longer overhear him.
"And then what?" Heiji called. He wanted an answer as soon as possible, but Dorar knew better. He didn't answer anymore and had now waited until all three detectives were finally in front of the entrance to the villa. This was the official entrance, only through this one could you pass the butler or be invited in, but he had planned something different for the three of them.
"Nice that you made it and got to the entrance," thanked the stranger. There was a mocking sound in his voice that had not gone unnoticed by the three of them.
"Then get started. After all, we want to get everything over with quickly," began Heiji.
"You shouldn't always rush things so quickly. There is strength in calm, as a proverb tells us," said Saguru and looked forward to the door. Now he pulled out his pocket watch and a black and small booklet. With a pen he wrote the exact time, including the number of seconds, in the notebook and marked it with the word start.
"And you should know not to tease me," Heiji nagged. Why did this only have to happen to him? He couldn't help it, but there was no escape, he had to come to terms with the situation and just make the best of it."Now don't argue, it won't do any good," sighed Kudo. Why couldn't the two get along well? Both were detectives and here they were in the same position, they shouldn't play off or scold each other.
"Your friend is right. But just let them argue, they won't have the time for it soon", Dorar interjected again. It became calmer again, Heiji had completely let off steam and Saguru had been calm as always anyway. There was just nothing for him to argue about. He said his opinion quite normally, in a calm tone of voice and wanted it to be accepted by the others.
"Let's finally get to our beginning. To do this, I have to ask you to separate. I'll make it very easy for the three of you. Shinichi Kudo, detective of the east, please go to the east entrance of the villa. Heiji Hattori, detective of the west, you go to the western entrance. And Saguru Hakuba, the European detective who lived in Northern Europe, please go to the northern entrance. There you will learn how to proceed and get the first riddle so that you can even get into the entrance. And if you think "You could help each other, then I have to disappoint you, each of you gets a different riddle," said Dorar and waited for the first time until the three detectives were at the entrances.
For Shinichi and Heiji, it was only a stone's throw to the other entrances, but Saguru had to go to the other side of the villa and was supposed to enter via the back entrance, while Shinichi had the entrance that led out of the garden Heiji got the one that led from the pool into the house. Here at the latest, the three were sure that they wouldn’t meet each other in the villa so quickly and Dorar watched the spectacle with relish from his seat. Everything the three detectives needed to know, he had already spoken on three tapes and only needed to rewind them, then everyone could know what to do.The three detectives from Japan stood thoughtfully in front of the doors and waited for something to happen. They noticed how a loudspeaker went up behind them. Each one played a riddle. It was only once. The riddle would not exist again. The detectives had to memorize theirs accordingly or, like Saguru, the most important note to be able to solve.
After all the puzzles were distributed, Dorar reported again live.
"Now you know your riddle. I wish you a lot of fun with it, I am curious to see when I can count on the solutions from you," said the man with a grin, which one could already hear based on his words. "When you have solved your puzzle, you will find a small laptop at the entrance, write the solution to the puzzle there, then I will confirm it or claim it as an error. If what you think is correct, you will see a green on the laptop Recognize the light. This tells you that you can open the door. So you have fought your way into my villa and are allowed to enter it with my permission. Then you will find out everything else there for the
