Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

When Conan and others arrived at Takuzo's ward, Inspector Nishimura had already arrived, and Inspector Nakamori had also arrived.

With a bandage on his head and scratches all over his body, Takusan sat on the hospital bed in tears.

"I heard about Attorney Kugaki and immediately went to the Hakodate Central Police Station, but was hit by a truck that suddenly rushed over..."

After saying that, Takusan covered his arm and made a "wuuuu" sound.

"Isn't it just a traffic accident?" Baijiu was a little skeptical.

"No way!! That was definitely not a traffic accident! The other party hit me on purpose!!"

Takuzo retorted, standing up excitedly, only to stagger and fall back towards Inspector Nakamori.

"Ah! Hey! Are you okay?"

"Um... sorry."

Inspector Nakamori helped Takuzo sit down: "Do you have any clues?"

Takuzo looked at Nakamori in confusion: "Except for Kadekla's men...there are no others."

"His motive is the treasure?"

"He's obviously eyeing the treasure left by my grandfather."

After saying that, Takusan lowered his head, as if thinking about something: "I have something I want to give to you for safekeeping."

What he handed to everyone was a folded piece of paper with a table drawn on it.

"It is placed together with the short knife. It is indispensable for finding treasure."

There were some words on the old paper. Inspector Nishimura took the paper, looked at it, frowned and said, "This is the so-called treasure map, right?"

"But I don't need it anymore. I'm not looking for treasure anymore. If I lose my life, I'll lose everything."

"Even the person I trust the most, Kugaki..." Tears welled up in Takusan's eyes, and he immediately covered his face with his hands to hide his inner sadness.

Baijiu looked at Takusan who was crying, and a trace of doubt still arose in his heart. He turned his head and looked at the words on the paper again.

After having dinner on the streets of Hakodate, Xiaolan and Kazuha walked towards the hotel. Xiaolan looked at the lobby through the glass.

I unexpectedly found Heiji sitting on a chair in the hall.

“..............” She thought for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I forgot something. Please go back to your room first."

Watching Kazuha walk towards the elevator, Xiaolan walked into the lobby and sat on the chair behind Heiji who was studying the map of Hakodate.

"You said that you chased Kidd around Hakodate City last night. That was a lie, right?" Xiaolan said calmly.

Heiji was shocked, and Ran continued to add.

"On that map, there are marks on tourist attractions. You actually went to some of the attractions. Check it out?"

"You, actually knew that. As expected of Kudo...that..."

Heiji answered hesitantly.

Xiaolan continued to ask: "Have you been to Mount Hakodate?

“Who would climb that mountain?”

"Don't you know, Hattori?"

Xiaolan turned her head in surprise and continued: "The night view seen from Mt. Hakodate is known as the 'one million dollar night view'!"

"What...$100 million!?"

This time it was Heiji's turn to turn his head in surprise, and the two finally faced each other.

"I heard it's super romantic. If it were me, I would definitely..."

Xiaolan hinted at Hattori in her words and led him over there.

"Well, I want to ask..."

Heiji stood up and walked closer to the clock tower. "Is a night view worth one million dollars better than a big clock tower?"

"Hey..." Xiaolan also looked at the clock tower in front.

The Great Clock Tower is a huge clock tower in London, where Shinichi confessed his love to Kotobukiya.

For Xiaolan, that place is more important than anywhere else in the world. Compared with the night view of Mount Hakodate, it goes without saying which one is better.

but----

"Yeah. It's definitely better than the big clock tower!" Xiaolan said firmly.

I secretly said in my heart: Shinichi...I'm sorry!

Now, I have to encourage Hattori!

"I see. It's better than the big clock tower."

Heiji muttered, quietly clenching his hands.

"Let's start the confession from here!"

The next morning.

Conan and others came to Hakodate Central Police Station again.

Baijiu bought a can of coffee from the vending machine and bumped into someone in the corridor while holding the coffee.

"Ugh!?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The person who bumped into Baijiu was Okita. Okita picked up the coffee that fell on the ground and handed it to Baijiu.

"Really? Pay attention!"

Baijiu took the coffee and said, "Believe it or not, I can't let you leave now. You should know my skills."

"I'm sorry, but I can't even make a joke."

Six knives were neatly placed on the table in the conference room.

Two of them were stolen by Kidd from Kadekra.

One dagger was stolen by Kid from the collection of the Axe family, and the other dagger was snatched from Kid by Heiji and handed over to the police.

The other two were handed over to the police by Fukushiro Yoshie.

Inspector Nakamori raised his head and said, "Detective Ichiyo and Inspector Nishimura are currently investigating the murder of Attorney Kugaki."

"We must unlock the secrets hidden in the knife."

"Among these knives, there is a target for Kaito Kid. So, Inspector Nakamori, who is in charge of investigating Kid..."

Kawazoe was explaining in front of the electronic whiteboard, and Baijiu turned his head to look at Okita who seemed nonchalant.

How did this guy sneak in again?

Just like yesterday, Kid disguised himself as Okita and came with Baijiu and others. Noticing Baijiu's gaze, Kid smiled at him.

"Also, there were two sightings of Kidd this time. Ichiyu, Hattori, and Edogawa and——"

Kawazoe looked at Okita and said, "Thank you for yesterday, but speaking of which."

"Why are you here too?" Kawazoe realized it belatedly and asked with his head tilted.

Okita explained calmly, "My best friends Ichiyo and Hattori asked me to come, so I followed them."

Heiji, who was sitting opposite Okita, whispered to Baijiu beside him, "This guy's Tokyo accent is really irritating!"

"That's it."

Kawazoe smiled bitterly and turned to look at Inspector Nakamori who had a sad face.

"Since it was Ichiyu and Hattori who asked him to come, there's nothing we can do."

Inspector Nakamori pointed to the paper on the table and said, "This was provided by Axie Takuzo. It must be hiding some secret."

Kawazoe projected the paper that Axie Takuzo had handed to the police onto the electronic whiteboard: "There are forty-eight words on it."

Just as Conan said, the paper was filled with various words.

"The order is messed up." Okita said.

Heiji picked up a knife on the table and said, "I used this knife yesterday when I fought the fox bastard."

"But this knife has no nails or nail holes."

"Eye nail?"

Inspector Nakamori frowned, and Heiji held the handle of the knife and drew his sword.

“You see, there are no nails holding the blade to the handle.

There should be a small hole called a nail hole on the handle of the knife, and the nail that fixes the blade is inserted into this hole.

"It seems that the swords enshrined in the shrine don't have eye spikes, but this one obviously doesn't, so there must be some secrets."

Conan said and Heiji nodded, picking up another knife.

It's getting more and more interesting...
