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

Chapter 280: Hakodate Turbulence: Sword and Heartbeat Duel

Conan was still recalling the scene of Hattori Heiji fighting the masked man, trying to find the key clue from this feature. He murmured in a low voice: "The blade is cross-shaped."

Hattori Heiji also obviously realized the seriousness of the matter. "The wounds are the same as those left on Lawyer Kugaki's body."

Conan's eyes became more serious: "That man is the murderer of Jiuyuan."

Kaito Kidd stood up, casually placed his hands in the ring, and swayed gently. "Even if he is the murderer, how did he know my whereabouts?"

Kudo Yuki stared at the two knives. Her sixth sense told her that these knives were not as simple as they seemed. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Conan, do you think there are any other clues hidden in these two knives?"

"Yeah." Conan jumped off the chair. He picked up a knife handle, turned it over and tapped it lightly. Something fell from the handle and landed on the chair. "Is this what you came with?"

Kaito Kid squatted down and looked at the fallen object. "It's a transmitter. It's quite capable."

Conan's mouth twitched: "Don't you use this often, Thief?"

Kaito Kid retorted: "Wow, I don't want to be called that by you, Detective."

As he spoke, he stood up, walked to the train door, and pushed it open with one hand.

The wind instantly rushed into the car, blowing up the corners of Kaito Kid's clothes. He took out the magic card pistol, aimed at the high building and pulled the trigger. The rope shot out the playing cards and grabbed the building.

Kaito Kidd jumped up and reached the top of the building.

Hattori Heiji and Conan hurried to where he had just stood and shouted loudly.

"Wait a moment."

"What are you going to do with the knife and the treasure?"

Kaito Kidd paused on the rooftop and turned around. "I'll give you the knife. Aren't you better at solving puzzles like this?"

Kudo Yuki walked to Conan's side and looked at the figure of Kaito Kid. "Kid, study hard."

Kaito Kid waved his hand to say goodbye. "Sister Xue, just wait for that day. Thank you for your help." After saying that, he opened his glider and flew away.

Conan and Hattori Heiji said in unison: "That guy..."

Kudo Yuki took the two knives on the chair in her hands and looked at them carefully.

The three of them got off the train, and Hattori Heiji chatted as they walked: "Sister Xue, you two siblings don't have a brother, do you?"

"Why do you say that suddenly?" Kudo Yuki raised her eyebrows.

Hattori Heiji narrated: "I saw his face when I fought Kid last night. He looks exactly like Kudo. Even his voice is similar. He looks 90% similar to Sister Xue..."

Conan said nonchalantly: "Huh? It's just a coincidence."

Hattori Heiji was in distress, "Is it a coincidence?"

Conan held the motorcycle helmet in both hands and said, "Yes, it happens to be similar. Just a coincidence." After saying that, he threw the helmet to Hattori Heiji.

There was a hidden meaning in Kudo Yuki's smile: "Maybe."

Hattori Heiji took the helmet with one hand. "Okay then."

Kudo Yuki handed the two knives in her hand to Hattori Heiji. "You will hand these three knives over to Inspector Nishimura. You go ahead, I'll be there in a bit."

Hattori Heiji took the two knives and nodded gently, "Okay, Sister Xue, don't worry, I will definitely hand the knives over to Inspector Nishimura safely. Then we will go over first, and you should come quickly too."

After saying that, Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other, then they both got on their motorcycles, the engines roared, and they quickly disappeared at the end.

Kudo Yuki was walking alone on the street when a car slowly drove up and stopped beside her.

The car window rolled down, and Kuroba Touichi, who was dressed as Kawazoe Yoshihisa, showed his head. "Get in the car, it's on our way."

After Kudo Yuki sat in the passenger seat, she looked at Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha with a little surprise.

Mao Lilan smiled warmly: "Sister Xue, what a coincidence."

Yuanshan Heye also nodded, her eyes sparkling: "I didn't expect to meet Sister Xue here."

Hei Yu Daoyi started the car and drove on the street.

The atmosphere in the car was relaxed and pleasant. Kudo Yuki smiled and replied to Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha: "It is indeed a coincidence."

Before he could finish his words, Kuroba Toichi received a text message from Inspector Nishimura asking him to drive to Fukushiro's house to pick up something.

Hei Yu Daoyi frowned slightly and then replied to the text message.

The car quickly drove to the destination, and Kudo Yuki heard the conversation between Hattori Heiji and Conan not far away.

"This is it!"

Have you told Inspector Nishimura about Fukushiro's incident?"

"Yes, I told him to give him the knife and asked him to meet up here."

Kuroba Toichi honked the horn twice and parked the car next to Hattori Heiji.

Toyama and Ye greeted, "Hey, Heiji."

Hattori Heiji was surprised: "He Ye, why are you here?"

Hei Yudao got out of the car and closed the door, scratching his head awkwardly: "I'm so sorry, I should have sent you two to the hotel, but Inspector Nishimura asked me to come here halfway. Hey, this..."

Kudo Yuki, Mao Li Ran and Toyama Kazuha also got off the bus.

Mao Lilan smiled and suggested: "Don't worry about us, we will take a taxi back."

"Yes." Hei Yudao nodded in agreement.

At this time, Kaito Kid appeared disguised as Okita Souji. He looked around with a sly look in his eyes: "I found you."

Everyone's eyes turned to him.

Mao Lilan said, "Okita-san, aren't you going to compete?"

Kaito Kidd imitated Kyoto accent and answered as he walked: "Ah, I gave up halfway. There is no point in playing without Hattori, and I can't feel good if I don't complain. So I just looked for him everywhere."

When Conan and Hattori Heiji heard the word "yes", the corners of their mouths twitched.

"Hey, this guy is Kidd."

"Yes, he speaks in a strange Kyoto accent. What is he doing here?"

Kudo Yuki held back her laughter, thinking: [The father and son of the Phantom Thief are joining forces.]

At this moment, a man opened the door at Fucheng's house. "Xiao Heye."

Yuanshan Heye turned around and said, "Mr. Fucheng."

Mao Lilan said: "He Ye, do you know him?"

"Yeah, I saw him at the competition this morning."

Fukujo Sei closed the door. "Okita-san is here too. If you have something to do at my house, please come in first."

Kudo Yuki glanced at Hattori Heiji and saw that when he heard the name "Little Leaf", his face instantly became unnatural, as if he had encountered a major crisis.

Kudo Yuki squatted down and whispered in Conan's ear: "Brother, is Hattori so sensitive about being addressed? It's like he's facing a formidable enemy."

Conan responded in a low voice: "Sister, Hattori is like this. He gets jealous when he hears Kazuha being called that by others."

The corners of Kudo Yuki's mouth curled up, and she felt amused. She stood up and watched Toyama and Ye walk into the gate of Fukio's house, thinking about what might happen next.

The mouse in the pocket poked its little head out and looked around curiously, as if it was also looking forward to the show that was about to take place.

Yuanshan Heye spoke up: "Ah, actually it wasn't me who was looking for you."

Fukjo Sei smiled and continued, "I didn't expect to have the chance to see you again. How long do you plan to stay in Hakodate?"

"Maybe until the day after tomorrow."

"If possible, come with me to see the beautiful scenery of Hakodate..."

Hattori Heiji unhappily inserted himself between the two of them. "Stop, stop, stop, who are you? You act like you know Kazuha very well."

Fucheng Sheng asked politely, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Hattori Heiji crossed his arms in front of his chest, with a proud look on his face: "My name is Hattori Heiji, and I'm Kazuha's childhood sweetheart."

Fukjo Sei put his hands on his hips, "I see, we are just friends that we have known each other since childhood."

Hattori Heiji was getting more and more unhappy. "Besides, Kazuha has no interest in any beautiful holy places. And she won't go to those places with you, idiot."

"Hattori Heiji." Fukushiro Sei smiled slightly: "I remembered this name. He was the favorite to win this tournament, but for some reason he didn't participate in the competition."

"Well, it's a long story."

Fukjo Sei suggested, "How about a duel with me? I think you're eager to swing a sword."

"Compete with you?"

"If I win, I'll take her around Hakodate."

"What if I win?"

"Then I'll tell you where the most beautiful scenery in Hakodate is."

"The most beautiful scenery!" Hattori Heiji pretended to be in deep thought, and immediately changed his attitude. "Okay, okay. Although I don't care about beautiful scenery, I will compete with you."

Conan looked at Hattori Heiji's change of attitude and his mouth twitched: [This guy's expression is obviously very excited.]

Mao Lilan turned her head and looked at Kaito Kidd, "Okita-san, stop them quickly."

"Hey! Why? It feels like it will be very interesting."

Hei Yu Daoyi stood nearby with a faint smile on his lips, looking like he was enjoying a good show, without saying a word.

Mao Lilan was speechless: "Really."

Kudo Yuki patted Mao Lilan's shoulder gently: "Xiaolan, in the female mindset, this seems insignificant on the surface. But if you jump out of this logic, it is not difficult to find that this is a fair competition between men.

First, they all wanted to be alone with Kazuha to see the beautiful scenery;

Secondly, Mr. Fukushiro issued the challenge to satisfy his own wish of not being able to compete with Hattori. As Mr. Fukushiro said, Hattori Heiji could have won the championship but did not participate in the competition. He wanted to make up for the regret of not being able to compete with Hattori in this way.

Third, I guess both of them want to date Kazuha more often. Didn’t you see the jealous look on Hattori Heiji’s face when he heard Mr. Fukushiro call Kazuha “Little Leaf”? I saw it.”

Mao Lilan slightly widened her eyes, revealing a thoughtful expression, "Sister Xue, now that you put it that way, it seems to be true. Sometimes it's really hard to understand the thoughts of boys."

Fukjo Sei said, "Whoever falls first among us loses."

Hattori Heiji's expression became serious: "It's settled."

Kudo Yuki rubbed her chin, "Xiaolan, this is not hard to understand. Just like when you are often with someone you like, and someone suddenly comes in, the two of you will inevitably be jealous of each other for the one you love. This phenomenon is very common. No matter which man or woman encounters this situation, one of them will always feel a sense of crisis. You see, isn't this the case now?"

Mao Lilan nodded slightly. "Sister Xue's analysis makes sense. Boys are sometimes really impulsive, but this also shows that they care a lot."

She looked at Hattori Heiji and Fukushiro Sei who were about to fight, with a trace of worry on her face: "I hope they don't get hurt."

Kaito Kid leaned his back against the wall, crossed his arms, and watched the upcoming 'battle between men' with great interest.

Kudo Yuki smiled and responded: "Xiaolan, they should know their limits. Those who are loved are fearless, while those who are fighting for the favor are on the alert for the beauty."

Conan listened to his sister's last teasing words and muttered to himself: "I can understand Hattori's feelings. After all, everyone would be a little nervous when the person they like is being targeted by others."

Fukujo Sei held two wooden swords and threw one of them to Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji was quick to catch it. Both of them adjusted their posture slightly, with a look of vigilance in their eyes.

Hattori Heiji was seen holding the wooden sword tightly, his eyes fixed on Fukushiro Sei opposite him, looking for the best time to attack.

Fukushiro Seiya also slightly separated his legs, lowered his center of gravity, and was ready to meet Hattori Heiji's attack at any time.

Just as the two wooden swords were about to clash, a middle-aged man came out of the house and shouted, "Stop it, both of you. Ah Sheng, what's going on? It's inappropriate to compete with others in the yard."

"I'm sorry, Dad."

"Have you finished cleaning the entrance?"

"I'm done cleaning."

"That's good. As long as the qi in the entrance is smooth, good luck will naturally come to the door." The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell on the few people standing at the door of his house. "So who are you?"

Kuroba Touichi walked forward calmly and handed over his business card. "You must be Fukushiro Ryoe, right? My name is Kawazoe, and I'm a police officer in Hokkaido. We have something to ask you about the treasure hidden by Axie Keizaburo."

Fukushiro Ryoe took the business card and looked at the information on it. "Is that so? Let's go in and talk."

Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha looked at each other and spoke.

"Then we'll take our leave."

"Xiaolan and I will go back to the hotel first." After saying that, the two of them took a taxi and left.

The others followed Fukushiro Yoshie to the living room and sat down around the table.

Fukushiro Ryoe tore open the medicine bag, poured the medicine into his mouth, then took a sip of water and couldn't help coughing twice.

Hei Yu Daoyi asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay. This is an old problem of mine." Fukjo Ryoe cleaned up the table and coughed lightly. "I'm sorry for what happened just now. I've heard that the knife forged by Dongwa Ronglong hides the clue to the treasure hidden by Fujiang Keizaburo. I thought someone would come to find me one day."

"Mr. Fucheng, I would like to ask, where did you get those two knives in your hand?"

"I heard that the sword was given to my great-grandfather by Axie Shuzaburo himself. My great-grandfather devoted himself to studying local history, and Axie Keizaburo had great respect for Hijikata Toshizo, so the two of them got along very well."

"Can you please let me see your collection of knives?"

"Of course. Ah Sheng, go get the knife and the painting as well."

"Yes." Fucheng Sheng stood up and went to get something.
