Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

The two of them didn't speak during the whole journey. When they arrived at their destination, Kudo Yuki got out of the car and turned to look at Amuro Toru. "You can go back. Don't worry about me."

Amuro Toru nodded, but still a little worried. He reached out and gently tidied the hair beside Kudo Yuki's ear. "Remember to stay alert. I'll wait for you to come back."

Kudo Yuki smiled back, then turned and walked towards the Hakodate Police Station.

Toru Amuro watched her back until she disappeared from his sight, then he started the car and returned to the Kudo residence.

When Yuki Kudo walked into the Hakodate Police Station, she saw a busy scene inside. As soon as she stepped through the door, a young police officer came up to her quickly and said, "Ms. Kudo, this way."

The police then took her to the crime scene.

Kogoro Mori, Conan and Heiji Hattori were standing inside the cordon at this time, checking the body with the Hokkaido police.

Maori Kogoro frowned and observed the corpse, muttering, "This is too tragic."

The police officer who brought Kudo Yuki here walked up to the inspector and respectfully introduced her, "Inspector Nishimura, Miss Kudo was invited by Manager Kuroda to solve this case."

Inspector Nishimura raised his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on Kudo Yuki for a moment, and a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.

Kudo Yuki nodded slightly, her expression calm.

When Hattori Heiji saw Kudo Yuki coming, he immediately greeted her: "Sister Yuki, you are here. This case is really difficult to handle."

Kudo Yuki glanced at Hattori Heiji and said, "Let's see what the situation is first."

Conan also looked at his elder sister, relief in his eyes.

Kudo Yuki looked at the environment around the body, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "What is the identity of the victim?"

Inspector Nishimura held the victim's ID in his hand, his expression solemn: "Kuguchi Sumito, 43 years old, is a lawyer. The murder weapon should be a sharp knife like a knife."

Conan turned his head and asked, "Is this Mr. Jiuyuan the legal advisor of the Pujiang Group?"

"You know a lot, indeed."

Hattori Heiji put one hand in his pocket, looking thoughtful: "Is it the one related to yesterday's case?"

"There may be some connection between the two." Maori Kogoro folded his hands in front of him, "Inspector Nishimura, can you show me the victim's belongings?"

"of course can."

As Conan was small, he couldn't see the evidence clearly even if he tilted his head back and stretched his neck, so he could only jump to see the evidence in Inspector Nishimura's hand, while his little brain was working rapidly.

Maori Kogoro stared at the items in Inspector Nishimura's hand: "Airline ticket and taxi receipt."

Inspector Nishimura pointed to the ground in front of him and said, "There's an empty golf bag over there. Also, we didn't find a cell phone. Based on the information we have, the victim arrived at Narita Airport from Dubai yesterday, took a domestic flight from Narita to Hakodate, and then took a taxi at the airport."

Kudo Yuki didn't say anything, but silently evacuated the body to make room for the investigator and thought about the clues of the case.

Hattori Heiji judged: "He either knew the murderer, or he was attacked by surprise. The knife was cut from the front."

Conan followed this line of thought and asked, "Where did the things in the golf bag go?"

Hattori Heiji speculated: "Could it be that after the murderer hacked someone to death, he also took away such a large set of golf clubs? But he doesn't look like he just finished playing golf."

Seeing that Investigator Yuki Kudo was taking photos somewhere else, she moved closer to the victim and squatted down. "Look, he seems to be holding something in his left hand."

Conan and Hattori Heiji hurried over to check.

Inspector Nishimura ordered: "Hey, call the medical examiner quickly."

Kudo Yuki put on white gloves and took the note from the victim's hand. The forensic doctor took the opportunity to use chemicals to restore the contents on the paper and put it in the tray.

Inspector Nishimura was holding a tray, and everyone's eyes were on the note.

Maori Kogoro was confused: "It's the Capital Church, what! Is it a fragment of a textbook or something?"

Hattori Heiji grabbed Conan by the back of his collar and made him read the contents of the note.

Conan smiled, as if he had thought of a clue.

Just then, the roar of a car engine was heard.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a car backing up crookedly. The conductor next to it waved his baton and shouted loudly: "Stop backing up! Stop now!"

However, the car seemed to be out of control and continued to rush backwards. With a loud bang, the car hit the traffic cone hard. The huge impact force caused the wheels to flip over the guardrail pier, and a big hole was instantly formed under the car.

Kogoro Mori, Heiji Hattori and Conan were all dumbfounded as they watched the dramatic scene before them.

Inspector Nishimura was used to it, "Finally he's here."

A man got out of the car and looked at the dented hole with an annoyed look on his face: "Ah, I screwed up again."

The commander couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily, "It's so annoying, Kawazoe."

"Oh, sorry. I'm investigating." The man scratched his head, smiled innocently and sent the commander away. Then he turned around and saluted Inspector Nishimura.

Maori Kogoro looked at the man speechlessly. "Who is that guy?"

Inspector Nishimura sighed, "Hey, he's my subordinate, Patrol Chief Yoshihisa Kawazoe. He's a bit clumsy, but he's not someone who can wield a knife."

Kudo Yuki looked at Kawazoe Yoshihisa, and her confusion became deeper and deeper. She found that this person was actually someone else pretending to be her, and that the person pretending to be Kudo Yusaku looked exactly like her, and she also felt a sense of familiarity with Kuroba Touichi.

Shushu poked his head out and muttered, "Isn't this Hei Yu Daoyi? I didn't expect that you would meet him again, Xiaoxue, so soon."

Kudo Yuki remained calm and decided not to expose Kuroba Touichi's disguised identity to see what he was going to do.

In the hotel villa, Brian D. Kadokura sat on the sofa, his hands casually resting on his crossed legs. He listened to his subordinates' report, and his expression revealed a hint of arrogance: "Mouri Kogoro!"

His men stood aside respectfully and reported the situation: "Yes, what should we do now?"

Brian D. Kadokura said with disdain, "Humph, what can a mere detective do? More importantly, this thing just delivered."

He stood up and walked to the two knives on the table.

The two knives were exquisite and sharp. Brian D. Kadokura held the handle of one of the knives with one hand and slowly pulled it out. The blade flashed a cold light in the sun. "Kuyanagi, it's amazing that you can find it."

After saying that, he swung the knife, the knife drew an arc in the air, and instantly placed it on the neck of his man.

The man's face turned pale instantly and his body trembled slightly.

Brian D. Kadokura looked at the horrified expressions of his men, smiled with satisfaction, and then put the knife back into the sheath. "Then, there should be 4 left."

The next second, another subordinate ran in from outside the door, with an anxious look on his face: "Boss, there is this on the door of the room."

The subordinate handed over a card, which was the warning card left by Kaito Kid.

Brian D. Kadokura looked at the contents of the card:

Today, when the golden light shines on the top of Mount Hakodate, I will come to take away the two swords of Tokubo Eitaka.

He looked at the card, the curve of his mouth gradually widened, revealing a wicked smile: "Does he want to take these two knives? Interesting, Nacho, strengthen the security around the hotel."

"Yes, as you command." Nacho immediately took the order and left.

At this time, Kaito Kidd was sitting on the roof of the hotel villa, feeding pigeons leisurely. The pigeons surrounded him and ate the food in his hands.

Kaito Kid listened to the conversation between Brian D. Kadokura and his men, hearing every word clearly. "He said there are 4 left."

After saying that, he smiled gently, spread his hang glider, and flew into the sky like a big white bird.

The atmosphere in the meeting room of the Hakodate Police Department was solemn.

Inspector Nishimura, Kogoro Mori, Yuki Kudo, and Toichi Kuroba, who was dressed as Yoshihisa Kawazoe, sat around the table discussing this complicated case.

In another room, Conan and Hattori Heiji were watching their discussion on their phones.

Kudo Yuki looked at Kuroba Toichi and secretly wondered about his true purpose.

At this moment, Kuroba Toichi was operating a notebook, displaying pictures one by one on the projector screen. "Let me explain next. This man's name is Brian D. Kadokura, and he is a Japanese-American investor."

Maori Kogoro stroked his chin and thought: "I have heard of this man's name before. He is a wealthy man. He is also a philanthropist who often donates money."

"You know so much." Hei Yudao said bluntly, "However, this is only his superficial identity. He is actually an arms dealer in secret, the so-called death merchant.

Moreover, his business scope covers the whole of Asia. The Hokkaido police had been keeping an eye on him many years ago, and it was he who took the initiative to suggest it. "

Inspector Nishimura added: "Kawazoe is very familiar with the situation. Kadokura's purpose of coming to Hokkaido this time is to participate in a charity event."

Hei Yudao held the paper cup in both hands and drank water, but pretended to accidentally put the cup in the mouse frame next to the notebook, and the picture was instantly switched.

Kudo Yuki looked at the screens being switched on the projector and asked, "What are these photos?"

Kuroba Daoyi pretended to be panicked and muttered: "Hey, hey, hey, why is this here?"

Inspector Nishimura reminded him, "Hey, Kawazoe, don't put your drinks on the computer."

Hei Yu Daoyi lowered his head and picked up the water cup, responding awkwardly: "Really."

Officer Nishimura held his forehead helplessly and sighed inwardly.

"Let's get back to the topic just now." Hei Yudao put the water cup next to the notebook, "From what I know, the real purpose of Kadokura's coming here this time should be to get the treasure hidden by Fujiang Shuzaburo, the founder of the Fujiang family."

Inspector Nishimura continued, "Before the war, Keisaburo Axie discovered a vein of gold in Hokkaido. He accumulated a lot of wealth, but after his death, part of his wealth disappeared. It is said that the wealth was exchanged for gold and buried somewhere."

Kuroba Touichi's face was serious, and he interrupted, "No one knows what the treasure left behind by Axie Keisaburo is. Some people say that it is not a gold nugget, but some kind of powerful weapon."

As he said this, he projected a photo, and the three of them looked at the projector screen. Then Kuroba Touichi stood up from his seat, walked to the front, looked at the three of them face to face, and explained the cause of the case.

"During the war, Axie Keisaburo had close ties with the military supply industry." Kuroba Touichi clapped his hands on the table, his eyes solemn, "So some people say that he obtained weapons that could turn the tide of the war."

Kudo Yuki thought to herself: [It feels a bit exaggerated to be able to turn the war situation upside down.]

Maori Kogoro gently stroked his chin, "It really looks like the treasure that the arms dealer wants."

Kuroba Touichi held up a photo album in his hand and flipped through it. "Besides that, there are some photos I want to show to Miss Kudo and Mr. Mori."

Kudo Yuki and Mori Kogoro are looking at the photo.

"It seems like these two are in a cooperative relationship."

"Isn't this Kadokura and the murdered lawyer Hisagi?"

Kuroba Daoyi said: "Yes, Kugaki was commissioned by Axie Takuzo to search for the whereabouts of Axie Keisaburo's treasure."

Maori Kogoro stretched his waist and sat up, turned to face the curtains, opened a crack with one hand and looked out the window. "Afue Takuzo failed in business and is in urgent need of money. So I think he should be very eager to get that treasure now."

Kudo Yuki got to the point: "But the question is, why did Hisagi meet with that Kadokura?"

Inspector Nishimura murmured, “I speculate that Kugaki may have betrayed his employer and wanted to leak information about the treasure to Kadokura.

Speaking of which, multiple surveillance cameras captured Jiu Yuan carrying a golf bag, but they couldn't confirm what was in the golf bag. "

Kudo Yuki smiled meaningfully: "The things in the golf bag are most likely knives. Also, that piece of paper should be the registration certificate for guns, cannons and swords. It was registered after being reviewed by the Education Committee under the Capital Education Department."

In another room, Hattori Heiji and Conan, who were watching the conversation in the conference room, heard what Kudo Yuki said, exchanged glances, and had their own thoughts in mind.

Hattori Heiji frowned: "Sister Xue's analysis makes sense. So, if he was registered in the capital, there would be the words "Capital Metropolitan Education Committee" on it."

Conan held his chin in his hand, lost in thought. "And the knife that Kugaki registered was probably purchased in Dubai. Of course, it's impossible to bring such a thing in openly, so he used a secret channel."

Hattori Heiji walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the beautiful scenery outside. He made a bold guess: "The registration certificate must be forged. After all, many knives have been sold to overseas collectors, so it is not impossible that the knife that Attorney Kugaki was looking for happened to end up in Dubai."

Conan looked at the topic discussed by the four people on the phone and thought: "Lawyer Kugaki was killed after bringing the newly purchased knife back to the country. In this case, we can certainly assume that the criminal's target was the knife."

Hattori Heiji closed the window tightly. "Very good, then I will report to Officer Nishimura later."
