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

Chapter 281: Hakodate Mystery: The Mystery of Sword and Moon

When Kaito Kidd saw the food on the table, his eyes lit up instantly. He didn't hesitate to reach out and touch the edge of the food, then grabbed it in his hand and started eating as if no one was around.

Conan was sitting nearby and saw this scene. He rolled his eyes speechlessly, as if to say: "Why is this guy like this? There is really nothing we can do about him."

Kudo Yuki pursed her lips and smiled, not interfering.

Conan looked up, "Uncle Liangwei, can I see that room with Sister Xue?"

"Oh, sure."

The siblings stood up, and Conan held onto Kudo Yuki's clothes tightly. "Great."

Kaito Kid, dressed as Okita Souji, sat aside, leisurely eating snacks, glancing at them from time to time.

Fukjo Ryoe led the way, and the three of them slowly walked into the room. The room was filled with various items related to Iaido, and the walls were covered with honorary trophies and photos.

Conan pretended to be curious, opened his eyes wide, and looked around. "Iaido competition, so impressive! These are all from Brother Sheng. Does Uncle Ryoe also practice Iaido?"

Fukushiro Ryoe looked at the trophies with pride and emotion in his eyes. "In fact, my family has been teaching Iaido for generations. It's just that I didn't have the talent, so I stopped learning after a while. However, Asheng's skills have surpassed those of our ancestors in the Fukushiro family. He can barely be considered a son to be proud of."

Kudo Yuki raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said jokingly, "This can't be considered forced."

Fukjo Sei placed the item on the table for everyone to see. Kuroba Toichi, who was dressed as Kawazoe Yoshihisa, adjusted his glasses and looked at the item on the table with deep eyes. "This is a knife forged by Dongwa Ronglong..."

Hattori Heiji stated: "These two knives look the same as the ones that Attorney Kugaki brought back."

"There is one more thing." Fucheng Sheng rummaged through the things in the box and placed them carefully on the table.

Hattori Heiji was puzzled: "What is this piece of paper?"

Fukjo Ryoe murmured, "It seems to be something that was collected together with the knife. But I have no idea what it means. Okay, you can take them all."

The brother and sister looked at the five-pointed star pattern on it, but they only had a vague understanding of it.

Hei Yu Daoyi accepted it with a smile. "Thank you so much."

Fu Chengsheng warned: "You must keep it carefully."

Then, Kuroba Touichi's phone rang. He picked up the phone and his expression instantly became nervous: "Well, what! Are you serious?"

Then, he hung up the phone. He frowned in a panic, "Afue Takuzo was attacked and has been sent to the hospital."

Hearing this, everyone stood up and said goodbye to Fukishiro and his son. Kuroba Toichi got in the car with Kudo Yuki and Kaito Kid. Hattori Heiji and Conan rode a motorcycle to the hospital.

After arriving at the hospital ward, I saw that Takuzo Afue's head was wrapped in gauze and his face was slightly pale. He recounted his previous experience: "I heard about lawyer Kugaki, and then on my way to the Hakodate Police Station, a truck suddenly hit me."

He covered his arm with a painful expression on his face, "Ah, it hurts."

Maori Kogoro frowned: "Isn't it just an accident?"

"No, this is not an accident." Fujiang Takuzo stood up from the bed, a little emotional, "The other party bumped into me on purpose."

After saying this, his feet slipped and he was held by Officer Nakamori. Takuzo Axe took the opportunity to stick the bug on Officer Nakamori's collar.

Officer Nakamori walked him back to the bed and sat him up. "Don't get excited. Are you okay? Sit down."

Fujiang Takuzo lowered his head, his face full of guilt: "It's okay, I'm so sorry."

Kudo Yuki then spoke up: "Then do you have any clues about the criminal?"

"From what I know, the criminal might be Monkura's subordinate."

Hattori Heiji asked: "Are you here for the treasure?"

"Those guys must be after the treasure hidden by my grandfather. I have something to entrust to you." Fujiang Takuzo took out a piece of paper and handed it to everyone. The paper was slightly yellowed, as if it bore the traces of time. "This is an item that was kept in my house along with the short sword. It should be used when searching for treasures."

Inspector Nishimura took the paper and examined it carefully. "Isn't that the so-called treasure map?"

"I don't need it anymore. I don't want any treasures now. If I lose my life, I will have nothing. Even Kugaki, whom I trusted, has already..."

After some conversation, everyone left the ward.

Kudo Yuki found Mao Li Ran and Hattori Heiji sitting back to back on both sides of the flower bed chatting.

Kudo Yuki walked lightly and looked at the two of them quietly.

"You were running around Hakodate chasing Kidd last night. You must be lying, right? The locations of tourist attractions are marked on that map. So you were actually exploring as you went along, right?"

"Uh, uh, you look really carefully, worthy of being Kudo's..." Hattori Heiji was stuck, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Mao Lilan then asked: "Have you been to Mount Hakodate?"

"Ah, what's the point of climbing a mountain like that?"

Mao Lilan turned her head and said, "Hattori, don't you know? Looking down from Hakodate Mountain at night, it is said that you can see a night view worth a million dollars."

"A million dollars?"

"It's said to be super romantic. If it were me, I would definitely go there." Mao Lilan clasped her hands together, with a longing look on her face.

Hattori Heiji stood up immediately. "Well, I want to ask, is the night view worth a million dollars more beautiful than Big Ben?"

Mao Lilan looked at Big Ben. "Huh?"

Hattori Heiji began to fantasize, "What the girl I like thinks."

Mao Lilan made a gesture of encouragement with both hands. "Well, it's much more beautiful than there." She thought to herself: [Shinichi, I'm sorry. I have to give Hattori a push now.]

"Really?" Hattori Heiji looked at Big Ben, his eyes full of expectation. "It's even more beautiful than Big Ben."

Kudo Yuki couldn't help but laugh, and the two of them looked at her. She raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems that someone's confession plan is about to begin again!"

Hattori Heiji felt a little embarrassed by Kudo Yuki's teasing and scratched his head. "Sister Yuki, please stop teasing me."

Mao Lilan also blushed and gently pushed Kudo Yuki. "Sister Yuki, you are really something."

Kudo Yuki smiled and was about to speak when she suddenly felt a movement in her pocket. She looked down and saw Shushu sticking his little head out, looking around with his eyes wide open.

At this time, Conan came over and took Ran Mao's hand. "Ran, let's go over there and take a look."

Mao Lilan nodded, and the two left hand in hand.

Hattori Heiji looked at their backs and sighed, "Kudo is really lucky."

Kudo Yuki's phone rang. He saw that it was a video call from Amuro Toru, so he found an empty corner and answered the call.

In the video, Toru Amuro has a gentle smile on his face. "Xiaoxue, how are you today?"

Kudo Yuki smiled back: "Not bad, just encountered some minor troubles."

Amuro Toru frowned slightly, "What's wrong? Are you in any trouble?"

Kudo Yuki briefly recounted what happened today, including the appearance of Kuroba Toichi and the treasure map.

Amuro Toru pondered for a moment, "Those knives and so-called treasures seem to involve a lot of dangerous people and forces."

"I know. What about you? What are you doing today?"

"I cooked dinner for your parents at the Kudo family residence. I wanted them to taste my cooking skills and to feel my sincerity."

Kudo Yuki felt warm in her heart, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. When you come back, we can cook a sumptuous dinner for them together. How about that?"

A smile appeared on Kudo Yuki's face. "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

The two chatted for a while before hanging up the video.

The Hakodate Police Station is bathed in the morning light. The outline of the police station building is particularly clear under the morning light.

In the corridor, Kaito Kid walked past Kogoro Mori.

The refreshing drink in Kogoro Mouri's hand was knocked over by the sudden figure, and the bottle rolled to the ground.

Kaito Kid quickly stopped, bent down to pick up the drink on the ground, and handed it back to Maori Kogoro. There was a hint of apology in his eyes: "Sorry."

Maori Kogoro took the drink and shook his head helplessly: "Really, be careful."

Kudo Yuki came out of Inspector Nishimura's room, and after discussion, she decided to help Officer Nakamori solve the clues.

Several people sat in a conference room, the walls of which were covered with photos and clue maps of various cases.

Officer Nakamori's eyes turned to the six knives on the table. "At present, Detective Mori and Inspector Nishimura are concentrating on investigating the murder of Attorney Kugaki. After consultation between Inspector Nishimura and Ms. Kudo, Ms. Kudo is here to help solve the mystery of the knives."

Conan looked at Kaito Kid and secretly complained in his heart: "This guy actually sneaked in openly."

Kaito Kidd greeted him with a smile.

Kuroba Toichi continued: "These knives are also what Kaito Kidd wants to steal. There are also Hattori-san and Edogawa-san who witnessed Kidd's actions twice before..."

His eyes fell on his son, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Kaito Kid expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for yesterday!"

Hei Yudao spread his hands and said, "Why are you here?"

Kaito Kid murmured in an annoying tone: "My good friend Heiji begged me to come with him no matter what, so I followed him!"

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at him speechlessly, feeling helpless.

"This guy actually said something like this, it makes me angry."

"Indeed."

Kudo Yuki sat aside and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed.

Officer Nakamori placed the paper filled with words on the projector. "Is there any clue in the table that Axie Takuzo provided earlier?"

Conan spoke first: "There are 48 pseudonyms written here, but the order is messed up."

"The long sword I used to fight that masked bastard yesterday was this one." Hattori Heiji said as he picked up the sword and examined it. "This sword has no eyebolts or eyebolt holes on it."

Officer Nakamori frowned, "Metada?"

Hattori Heiji handed the knife to Officer Nakamori and patiently explained: "Look, it's like a nail. It prevents the blade from coming off the handle."

Conan interrupted: "Some of the swords enshrined in the shrine do not have eye spikes. This sword is not for worship, so does it have any special meaning without the eye spikes?"

"Yes, and this knife also has eye spikes." Hattori Heiji held a knife in each hand, "These two knives were taken from Kadokura, and the other four knives are all equipped with eye spikes. Hey, do you have a hammer here?"

"Yes." Hei Yu Daoyi took out the hammer and handed it to him.

Hattori Heiji took the hammer and began to fiddle with the nails on the handle. The nails were placed on the table one by one, making a slight sound.

Kuroba Touichi adjusted his glasses and observed the eye holes. "It turns out that eye holes have so many different shapes."

Hattori Heiji began to explain: "However, for the eyelet holes, the best shape is actually a perfect circle. This way there is a larger area to withstand the impact on the blade."

Officer Nakamori was puzzled: "Since a perfect circle is the best, wouldn't it be better to make them all perfect circles?"

Hattori Heiji crossed his arms and fell into deep thought. "I think there must be a reason why it has to be made in such a strange shape."

Kuroba Touichi drew a picture on the whiteboard with a marker. "Is it like this?"

Officer Nakamori looked at the figures on the whiteboard and pondered: "Circles, semicircles and stars, I have no idea what they mean."

Kaito Kidd looked at the sun in the sky outside the window. "So, it should be the moon, right? The moon that shines in the night sky, when I was flying in the sky before, I always used the moon as a mark.

The knife without the eyelet hole should represent the new moon, the semicircle represents the waxing moon, the other represents the waning moon, and the perfect circle represents the full moon.

Officer Nakamori looked at him with suspicion: "Flying in the sky? I said, can you fly in the sky?"

Kaito Kid quickly waved his hands, with an awkward smile on his face: "Hey, hey, hey, no. I was just giving an example."

Conan used this opportunity to change the subject: "By the way, Axe Shuzaburo is a fan of Hijikata Toshizo, right? In that case, should it have something to do with Hijikata?"

"Ah, that makes sense. This is indeed a possibility." Kuroba Toichi, who was dressed as Kawazoe Yoshihisa, wrote the word "moon" on the whiteboard with a marker.

Hattori Heiji whispered, "Hijikata and the moon."

Officer Nakamori was confused. "No, I don't understand."

Kuroba Touichi continued, "That's right. How about we look up the history related to Hijikata Toshizo first?"

Kudo Yuki looked at these clues and helplessly held her forehead: "That should be the "Tououhakushu" by Hijikata Toshizo."

Hattori Heiji looked at Kudo Yuki in confusion. "Sister Yuki, what is the Touou Hakujushu?"

Kudo Yuki answered: "When Hijikata Toshizo was in Tama, he often wrote haiku. The haiku he wrote were collected into a book called "Touou Hakushu"."

Officer Nakamori stroked his chin and thought: "The devilish deputy commander of the Shinsengumi can actually write haiku."

As Hattori Heiji was asking further questions, his cell phone suddenly rang. He walked aside and answered the video call. It was Ooka Momiji.
