Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

"Eye……"

In the notebook, there were drawings in the shape of stars and eyes.

"Perhaps the hilt of the sword represents Goryokaku."

"Yes, then where is the eye-piercing point of this eye?"

Conan pointed to the notebook and said. Shenzi nodded and said, "The hole is a perfect circle, but the outer circle is almond-shaped, which looks like

"Like a human eye. Oh, yes..."

Shen Zi took out an ancient Paulownia wood box from his bag.

“We have passed this down from generation to generation and kept it.”

Kamiko opened the lid and took out a painting of a street in Hakodate.

“This is a painting from a long time ago.”

Conan stared at the painting intently.

Goryokaku is depicted in the lower right corner of the painting.

"This painting and the Star Edge Knife are both in our shrine."

Conan suddenly remembered that he had seen something similar to the stars in this painting yesterday.

"Hey, Hattori! Did you bring the painting that Mr. Ryoe gave us?"

"It's in the bag."

Heiji reached out and picked up the backpack hanging on the chair: "Put these two paintings together!"

"!! So that's how it is!"

Heiji smiled, stacked the two paintings together, and then held them up to the window: "This is...!!"

The red stars in the ink painting and the Goryokaku in the Hakodate painting completely overlapped, and Conan couldn't help but scream.

At this time, in the kitchen of the hamburger restaurant, Kidd, dressed as a waiter, was staring at the surveillance image.

Next to him was the store manager who had drunk a knockout drug and was sleeping soundly on the table: “Hmm….

Looking at the reflection in the store, Kid took a bite of the hamburger.

After Conan separated the two paintings, he said, "It is exactly the same location as Goryokaku. This is definitely not a coincidence."

“It feels like… this place is on fire.

Heiji pointed to the red stars on the ink painting and said, "There is a legend that seems to have happened during a war. One night, Goryokaku caught fire..."

"Goryokaku!?"

"Yes, the trenches were on fire and the smoke was rising into the sky in the shape of stars... That's what it felt like."

Shen Zi pointed to the red stars on the ink painting.

That's right...

Conan held his chin with one hand, sorting out the information he had obtained so far in his mind.

Tantos, watches with various characters written on them, swords and paintings from the Fukushiro family, people from the Toshogu Shrine, and paintings from Hakodate.

That is to say...

Conan thought of the other two knives and smiled.

Momiji and Iori come to Goryokaku Tower in Hakodate.

From the tower next to Goryokaku Park, you can overlook the panoramic view of the Goryokaku ruins. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the cherry trees along the moat dye the star-shaped Goryokaku a light red.

Climbing up to the second floor of the observatory, I stood next to the statue of Hijikata Toshizo sitting by the window and asked with a smile, "Iori, are you done taking the photos?"

"Perfect!"

Iori handed over the phone and asked Hongye to check the photos on it.

"Thank you. But Hijikata is really handsome, although not as handsome as Heiji..." Momiji suddenly changed his expression and frowned.

“…Where is Heiji!!”

"I'm sorry." Iori lowered his head to apologize, and then said: "Miss, I was careless."

"I actually forgot a perfect place to confess."

"Where is it? Tell me quickly." Iori pointed outside the window.

"Look over there, Mt. Hakodate. Take the cable car to the top of the mountain. It's said that the night view there is worth $100 million."

"One million dollars, I didn't expect it to be so cheap."

Hongye thought for a while, pointed in the direction of Mt. Hakodate, and said, "Let's go there! Heiji-kun must be there!"

"Let's set off immediately!"

"But, Miss, the weather forecast says that it will rain heavily tonight." Iori checked the weather forecast on his mobile phone.

"Heavy rain? Looks like I can't confess tonight," Hongye said happily.

"But it will be sunny tomorrow night."

"is it?"

Momiji, standing next to the statue of Hijikata Toshizo, gazed at the cloud-covered sky and smiled.

The Hakodate Central Police Station is not far from Goryokaku Tower. Saint, who was arrested by the police, was immediately taken to the interrogation room.

Sheng and Inspector Nishimura sat facing each other across a small table.

During the interrogation, Sheng always insisted that he did not kill anyone.

"So, I said, I didn't kill anyone..."

Sheng kept refuting. Inspector Nishimura asked, "Then why are there fingerprints of the victim on your scabbard?"

"….…I have no idea."

Sheng didn't know what was going on. Why were there Jiuyuan's fingerprints on his scabbard?

"We are checking your knife now. We can detect the blood even if it is washed off.

………Not me.

Sheng frowned and said with some regret: "You must have made a mistake..."

After saying goodbye to Miko, Heiji and Conan drove their motorcycles along Kaigang Road.

Conan, who was sitting in the back seat, told Heiji his reasoning.

A short sword of Takuzo Axe, with a table with words on it.

The knife in Fukushiro Yoshie's hand is painted with red stars in ink.

There are also swords hidden in Toshogu Shrine in Hokkaido and paintings of Hakodate.

There is a clue to the treasure location hidden in the knife.

In other words, "If your reasoning is correct, the knife that Attorney Kugaki bought also came with something else attached."

"Yes. But no similar items were found on the body. "If the criminal had taken it, it should have been handed over to Kadekla along with the knife. But it was not taken, which means..."

"I hid it on purpose." Conan replied.

Heiji immediately turned around and said, "That's right! Kugaki didn't trust the other party, so he deliberately hid the clue just in case."

Heiji turned his head, stared straight ahead, accelerated, turned left, and drove the motorcycle into the hotel's parking lot.

This hotel was booked by lawyer Hisagi. Heiji walked to the front desk and asked the person in charge about Hisagi.

"No matter what you say, we cannot disclose guest information."

"Please help me think of a solution." Heiji lowered his head and pleaded.

At this moment, someone suddenly said from behind: "You did the right thing! Person in charge! But please answer my question."

Inspector Nishimura took out his ID and said to the person in charge.

"!?"

Conan and Heiji glared at Inspector Nishimura fiercely.

The guy was Kidd, and the three of them saw through him immediately.

Because the real Inspector Nishimura should be interrogating Sheng now.

Kidd asked nonchalantly, "I heard that Kugaki booked this hotel. Did you receive any letters or packages from him?"

The woman at the front desk immediately checked on the computer, and the person in charge next to her also stared at the screen.

"Well, there is a letter, and the sender is Kugaki himself."

Kid, who was disguised as Inspector Nishimura, smiled.

"Let me take a look."

The woman at the front desk walked into the back room and then came out with an envelope.

Kidd took the envelope and sat on the sofa by the window.

Conan and Heiji also sat opposite him and looked at the envelope. There were two black and white photos in it.

Most of them were taken during the war.

One is a photo of a hot air balloon taking off in the night sky.

There were several young men in military uniforms riding in a hot air balloon. One of them was holding a flashlight, three were piloting the balloon, and one was looking at something with a telescope.

Another photo shows a young man in military uniform with several soldiers maintaining a hot air balloon.

The young man in the center holds a short sword with a star-shaped tip in his left hand.

"This is the Star Edge Knife."
