With no way to escape, Sheng stopped in front of the stairs.

Conan got out of the car and ran up the stairs.

"Hey! Kid! Hand over that box!"

Men holding daggers and Japanese swords got out of the car.

Sheng turned his back to the steps and drew the wooden sword from his waist.

"Leave this to me, run!"

"But……·"

Sheng'e glared fiercely at the men who were approaching him. His sharp eyes made the men feel a chill in their hearts.

"Run! Don't forget to tell Heye-chan that I saved you..."

Conan nodded and ran up the stairs.

"stop!!"

A man rushed over shouting, and Sheng immediately drew his knife. With a scream, the man's body flew out.

The men surrounding Sheng were suddenly horrified and couldn't help but take a step back.

“…Come on, I’m serious too.”

Sheng smiled slightly and slashed with force. With a whoosh, Sheng rushed into the enemy group.

Conan was running quickly holding the wooden box.

After running through the woods, I finally reached where the crowd gathered.

I didn't see the car of Kadekra and Takusan's men.

Conan let out a long sigh and continued running.

Conan ran along the slope leading to Hakodate Bay.

The car that Kadekla was riding in suddenly rushed out from the side of the road.

“Waaaaaaahhh!!” “Danger!!”

The tourists screamed, and Kadekla's car slid and changed direction, rushing towards Conan on the slope.

Conan ran desperately, and Kadekla was the first to lean out of the car and pointed a gun at Conan.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Gunshots rang out, and gravel flew under Conan's feet.

"Everyone, run away! Run away now!!"

Conan ran while shouting, but Kadekla's men continued to shoot.

A bullet hit the wooden box in Conan's arms.

The reaction force sent Conan flying.

No, I’m going to be caught up!

Suddenly someone grabbed Conan from the ground.

It was none other than Heiji who came on a motorcycle. He put Conan on the back seat and sped up.

"Today is a great day for you to get shot. Kudo!"

"It should be a good day for me to always be picked up."

Conan said with a smile.

However, the bullet shot by Kadekla hit the rear wheel of the motorcycle, and the motorcycle lost its balance and immediately fell down, and Conan and Heiji on the motorcycle also rolled down the slope.

At the bottom of the slope, a tram was speeding past, and the rolling wooden box hit the tram and was smashed to pieces.

Kadekla and others who were chasing after them widened their eyes when they saw the wooden box that had been shattered into pieces.

"W-Nothing!" Kadekla kicked the driver's seat hard: "Damn it!"

Takusan and others' car stopped in front of the intersection. Takusan, who was sitting in the back seat, leaned out of the car and stared at the intersection with a frown.

"What's going on!? Damn it!!"

Takusan pulled out his cell phone from his pocket and called his men.

However, all his men were knocked unconscious by Sheng and were lying on the ground, so no one could answer the phone.

"Why don't you answer the phone!"

Takusan knocked hard on the roof of the car. At this time, sirens sounded, and a large number of police officers appeared and quickly surrounded Takusan's car.

"What, what's going on?" Takusan was suddenly panicked.

Inspector Nakamori got out of the police car and said, "Afue Takuzo, stop struggling."

"Can we make a deal?" Takuzo, who was handcuffed, said to Inspector Nakamori, "I have information about Kadekla."

"take away!"

The dejected Takusan was taken into the police car.

Conan and Heiji pushed the motorcycle with a flat tire to Hakodate Port. Conan sat on the ground leaning against the fence and covered his right eye with a handkerchief.

"Are you okay? Kudo!"

"It's okay, just a little scratch."

Heiji dragged his right leg to Conan's side, sat down, and threw away the wooden board in his hand.

"I can't believe the box is empty."

"Yes."

Suddenly someone said, Heiji looked up and saw Sheng walking over: "Ah, you! Why are you here?"

Sheng squatted down in front of Heiji and suddenly lifted up Heiji's right leg: "Let me see."

"W-what are you going to do?"

"Does it hurt?"

“It doesn’t hurt at all!”

Seiji took off Heiji's shoe and examined his right foot.

"I was at the Kendo Tournament, and when I saw you guys, I thought since you, my childhood friend from Kazuha-chan, are here, I might be able to meet Kazuha-chan if I follow you."

Heiji frowned.

And Ye... sauce?

"Very good, the bone is fine!" As he said that, Sheng gently patted Heiji's right foot.

Heiji leaned back in pain: "......!! Stop meddling in other people's business!"

"It won't hurt soon. Don't worry. It's your turn now."

Sheng took out a water bottle from his sleeve, wet a handkerchief, and then wiped Conan's face with the wet handkerchief.

“…Mr. Sheng is in the medical department, right?”

"Yes, because my late mother was a doctor and I was influenced by her."

As Sheng spoke, he skillfully put a Band-Aid on Conan's wound.

"Okay, that's no problem."

"Thank you."

When Conan was expressing his thanks, several police cars suddenly stopped on the road in front of him.

Inspector Nishimura and Kawazoe came over.

"Fukushiro Sei, I detected the fingerprint of Attorney Kugaki on your scabbard."

"what?"

"Because you are suspected of murder, we are arresting you now." Before Inspector Nishimura finished his words, the police handcuffed Sheng.

"Ah... Hey, wait a minute, I didn't do anything—"

"Go to the police station and explain it to me."

Heiji and Conan could only watch the police car leave in confusion.

When Kawazoe grabbed the handlebars of Sheng's motorcycle and was about to start it, they came over, and Baijiu also came late.

There was a woman sitting behind Baijiu's seat, and she jumped down from the seat.

"Excuse me, are you a police officer?" the black-haired young woman said, "I am Yoshinaga Miko, the shrine maiden of the Hokkaido Toshokan."

Shenzi lowered his head, and Inspector Nishimura, who was standing next to the police car, raised his hand and shouted, "Kawazoe, what are you doing? Let's go!"

"I have to tell the police something. I called them and they told me to come here to meet you guys."

Oh.

Kawazoe grumbled and adjusted his glasses. Then he pointed at Conan and Heiji in front of the fence and said, "I have to go. So, if you have anything to say, please tell them first.

Conan and Heiji, who were holding helmets, turned their heads in surprise.

Heiji and Conan followed Kamiko to a hamburger restaurant not far away.

Kamiko, who was sitting opposite Heiji and Conan, told them that the things in the wooden box had been stolen a long time ago, so what Kid stole was just an empty wooden box.

“No wonder the box is so light.

"It happened many years ago, but the criminal has never been caught..."

Heiji and Conan looked at each other, and Miko continued, "We don't know the origin of that sword. We just know that the sword is called the 'Star Edge Sword'."

"Do you remember what kind of knife it was?"

"The blade and eye-piercing points are very distinctive."

"Characteristics?"

Baijiu said as Shenzi picked up the backpack on the chair.

"Yes, the blade is star-shaped..."

"Star-shaped?"

Shen Zi took out a notebook from his bag and drew something on it.

"That's what it feels like."

Miko handed the notebook to Conan and Heiji.

"Xinghe..."
