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

Both Conan and Brian D. Kadokura saw that there was nothing in the wooden box.

The driver of the Brian D. Kadokura had no choice but to stop the car.

The subordinate was a little surprised: "Box, there is nothing in the box."

Brian D. Kadokura put the gun away. "Drive, we'll continue looking." Then the car turned and left.

At this time, Kudo Yuki came out from her hiding place with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Shushu poked his little head out of her pocket. "Xiaoxue, what should we do next?"

Kudo Yuki frowned slightly, "Let's see what the situation is first. Kaito Kidd's actions must have his purpose."

On the other side of the railway track, Fu Jiang Takuzo got out of the car and called his bodyguard angrily. He slammed the car and shouted, "What's going on? Why didn't you answer the phone?"

The next moment, several police cars came roaring and surrounded him.

People on the bus looked around curiously and discussed among themselves.

“This is a movie!”

"so cool."

Fujiang Takuzo shouted, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Officer Nakamori stepped out of the police car and said sternly, "Afue Takuzo, surrender."

Fujiang Takuzo tried to fool him. "How about we make a deal? I have information about that guy Kadokura."

Officer Nakamori folded his arms across his chest, unmoved. "Take him away."

"Yes, let's go."

Takuzo Axe was taken back to the police station by police officers in a dejected manner.

Meanwhile, in the Bay Area, Hattori Heiji parked his motorcycle at the guardrail and walked towards Conan. "Are you okay? Kudo."

Conan covered the wound with one hand. "It's okay, I just got a little scrape."

Hattori Heiji put the two helmets aside and sat next to Conan. "Why is the box empty?"

Fukjo Seiji rode up to the two of them on his motorcycle. "By the way, that was quite a big noise."

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

"Let me take a look." Fukushiro Seiji took off Hattori Heiji's shoes without saying a word and carefully checked whether the bones were dislocated.

"What are you doing?"

"Does it hurt?"

“It doesn’t hurt.”

As Fukjo-sei checked on his injuries, he spoke, "I saw you two at the kendo tournament, and I thought that by following you, my childhood friend, I might be able to meet Kazuha-chan."

Hattori Heiji frowned: "You actually called him Xiao Heye!"

Fukujo Sei patted the side of Hattori Heiji's ankle, "Alright."

When Kudo Yuki walked over here, she heard Hattori Heiji wailing, "It hurts, mind your own business."

Fucheng Sheng took out another band-aid and said, "This injury will soon stop hurting. It will be your turn next."

Conan spread his hands and said, "Brother Sheng, are you a student in the medical school?"

Fukjo Sei replied as he applied medicine to Conan's wound: "Yes, my mother was also a doctor when she was alive. Maybe it was influenced by her." He put a band-aid on Conan's wound. "Well, it's OK. It's okay now."

Conan quickly acted obediently: "Thank you."

Inspector Nishimura saw Kudo Yuki coming over and hurried forward. "Ms. Kudo, please continue to help find the treasure."

Kudo Yuki nodded slightly. She thought for a moment and said, "The clues to the treasure must be hidden in some details that we have not yet discovered."

Inspector Nishimura put one hand in his trouser pocket and said, "Fukushiro Sei, we found the fingerprint of Attorney Kugaki on your scabbard. We are arresting you on suspicion of murder."

The police officer nearby stopped him with handcuffs.

Fukjo-sei looked puzzled, "Wait, wait a minute. I didn't do anything."

Inspector Nishimura followed him and said, "Let's talk at the police station if you have anything to say."

In this way, Fukushiro Sei was sent to the police car.

Kuroba Toichi, dressed as Yoshihisa Kawazoe, straightened Fukujo Sei's motorcycle.

Suddenly, a woman came over. "Hello, excuse me! Are you a police officer?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"It's like this. I'm a shrine maiden from Toshogu Shrine in Hokkaido. My name is Yoshinaga Miko."

At this time, Inspector Nishimura called out loudly: "Hey, Kawazoe. What are you doing? Let's go."

"Ok."

Yoshinaga Miko continued: "I have something I need to tell the police. After I called the police, they asked me to come here."

"But I have to go now." Kuroba Touichi pointed at the Kudo siblings and Hattori Heiji, "So if you have anything to say, just tell the three of them."

Having said that, he followed Inspector Nishimura back to the Hakodate Police Station.

Yoshinaga Miko and the three men came to a nearby restaurant and sat alone at a table. She told the three men the truth about the wooden box.

Hattori Heiji leaned back in his chair and put his hands behind his head. "The contents of the box were stolen. No wonder the box is so light."

Yoshinaga Miko continued, "It was stolen many years ago, and the culprit has not been caught yet. As for the origin of the knife, we don't know much. We only know that its name is the Star Edge Knife, that's all."

Kudo Yuki leaned on the table with one hand, "Do you remember what that knife looked like?"

“The hand guard and self-pinning holes are very distinctive.”

Conan was suspicious: "Is there any special feature?"

"That's right." Yoshinaga Miko took out a pen and paper from her bag, drew a pattern on it, and pushed it in front of the three people. "There is a star pattern engraved on the hand guard, like this."

Conan and Hattori Heiji observed carefully.

"The stars and..."

"The eyes. The gauntlet could represent Goryokaku."

"So the eyes are the eye holes?"

Yoshinaga Miko responded: "Yes, the hole is a perfect circle. And the circle around it is an almond-shaped pattern, which looks like a human eye."

She dug out a wooden box from her bag, placed it on the table and opened it. "And this. In addition to the knife, we have also kept this item for generations."

Kudo Yuki looked over. "It's an ancient painting."

Yoshinaga Miko explained the information about the painting. "It seems that this ancient painting was enshrined in our shrine together with the Star Blade Sword."

Conan turned his head and said, "Hattori, did you bring the painting that Mr. Ryoe gave you?"

Hattori Heiji searched in his bag, "Of course, it's in my bag."

"Lay it over this painting and see."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Hattori Heiji put the two paintings together, opening and closing them over and over again.

Conan frowned: "This... is exactly the same as the location of Goryokaku. This is definitely not a coincidence."

Hattori Heiji asserted: "It feels like this place is starting and ending."

Kudo Yuki smiled at the restaurant's camera and gave a reminder using lip language.

Kaito Kid was eating a hamburger and looking at the camera, and saw Kudo Yuki speaking silently. He discerned Kudo Yuki's lip reading. [After watching for so long, aren't you going to take some action later?]

Kaito Kid raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

Yoshinaga Miko stroked her chin and thought: "Oh, come to think of it, I heard a rumor before. It seems that during the war, there was a big fire in Goryokaku one night."

Conan was surprised: "Goryokaku is on fire?"

"Yes. The moat was on fire, and a pattern of stars appeared in the night sky."

After hearing this, Conan sorted out his thoughts.

In the interrogation room of the Hakodate Police Station, Fukushiro Seiji sat on a chair. "I've already said that I didn't kill anyone."

Inspector Nishimura frowned, "Then why are there fingerprints of the victim on your scabbard?"

"I do not know either."

"We are investigating the knife. Once we find blood and sebum, the truth will be revealed."

"I really didn't kill anyone. There must be something wrong."

The siblings and Hattori Heiji came to the service front desk to investigate Kugaki Sumito's check-in record.

The man refused sternly: "Even if you say so, we can't tell you the guest's information."

Hattori Heiji leaned on the table with one hand. "Can you make an exception?"

"You did the right thing, Manager." Kaito Kidd showed his ID as Inspector Nishimura. "But you must answer my questions now."

"Oh well."

"Kyuu-gaki has booked a room here before. Is there anything you want to send to him?"

"Yes, we have an item in our custody. The sender column is written as Mr. Kugaki himself."

"Well, show me that thing."

The four of them sat on the sofa, and Kudo Yuki curled the corners of her mouth slightly and didn't intend to expose it.

Shushu poked his little head out to watch the fun of Kaito Kidd.

Conan pondered: "Two black and white photos."

Kaito Kidd held the photo and said, "Star Edge Knife, this is the knife."

"Look at the back."

Kaito Kid turned the photo over. "Axe Keisaburo."

"The other photo seems to have been taken in the center of Goryokaku."

“What are hot air balloons used for?”

"It looks like it's for observation. I don't know why they use a hot air balloon. And judging by the reflection of light, the floor of the hot air balloon is probably made of glass."

Kudo Yuki took out her cell phone and saved a photo of the Star-Edged Knife.

Hattori Heiji crossed his arms and thought, "If it was just for observation, he wouldn't have brought such an important sword with him."

Kaito Kidd pondered: "All the clues to find the treasure have been gathered, and now it depends on your reasoning."

Kudo Yuki warned: "If you don't leave now, you'll be exposed soon!"

As he finished speaking, several police cars arrived.

Officer Nakamori leaned against the glass window and shouted, "Finally I found you, Kaito Kid. Catch him for me. Inspector Nishimura should be interrogating the criminal right now."

A group of mobile team members said in unison: "Yes."

Kudo Yuki's lips curled slightly: "Come on, kid! I hope you can make a breakthrough."

Officer Nakamori leads a group of mobile team members to capture Kaito Kid.

Kaito Kidd was dodging the pursuit of the mobile team members and turned back to shout, "Sister Xue, don't trick me like this next time."

Hattori Heiji looked at the direction where Kaito Kidd was going and shook his head: "I give up. This guy is always in such a hurry."

Kudo Yuki's smile became more intense, and her eyes flashed with cunning: "Life would be so boring without these seasonings. Just like a bland dish, adding some seasonings can make people have endless aftertaste. Conan, don't you agree?"

Conan pushed his glasses up and nodded, "Sister Xue makes sense."

Hattori Heiji laughed out loud: "This Kaito Kid is really a troublesome and interesting guy." Then he calmed down and frowned slightly: "But there is still a piece missing for the puzzle about the treasure."

Conan stared at the photo on the table and fell into deep thought: "Well, maybe Mr. Liangwei has something else."

The three of them arrived at Fucheng's house. As soon as they opened the door, they saw fallen items all over the floor and the furniture toppled over, making a mess.

Hattori Heiji looked at the messy scene and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Kadokura has been here."

Conan thought: "Let's go find Mr. Ryoe."

They walked into the house. Kudo Yuki looked around and her eyes fell on one place: "There is blood here too."

Conan looked at the bloodstains and analyzed, "It seems that the person was taken away by force."

Hattori Heiji spread his hands, "They should be trying to get information about the treasure from Mr. Ryoe. This time, that guy got there first."

"Wait, do you feel something is wrong?" Conan said as he walked into the room and carefully checked the direction with his phone. "The pillow is facing north."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji also hurried in and asked, "Just like when a person dies, they should be placed with their head facing north?"

"Mr. Ryoe is a person who cares particularly about his fortune, which means..." Conan moved the bedding and pillow away, revealing a five-pointed star pattern underneath.

Hattori Heiji was confused: "Is this the message he left behind?"

Kudo Yuki took photos with her mobile phone and analyzed: "He realized that he would be attacked, and hastily left a mark with blood. He also used the pillow facing north to make us notice something was wrong."

Hattori Heiji stood up and breathed a sigh of relief: "If the bloodstains were left at that time, it wouldn't be a big deal."

Conan walked a few steps in the room, and inspiration flashed in his eyes: "As for this red star, it reminds me of the burning Goryokaku in the painting."

Hattori Heiji continued: "That being said, the meaning of the painting is still unclear."

After saying that, he and Conan started taking pictures of the five-pointed star pattern.

Kudo Yuki telepathically ordered: "Rat, record the scene in this room."

Shushu immediately jumped out of Kudo Yuki's pocket and recorded videos everywhere. When the three people walked out of the room, Shushu jumped back into her pocket swiftly.

The three of them rushed to the Hakodate Police Station without stopping. Hattori Heiji anxiously told Inspector Nishimura about the situation and asked to meet with Fukushiro Seiji.

Inspector Nishimura immediately rejected the idea: "No, no, how can we meet with a murder suspect? Absolutely not."

"But his father has been arrested."

"Our police are investigating this matter. You can't go in."

However, Toyama Kazuha came to the Hakodate Police Station and was dealing with two policemen. "Can you let me in for a moment? There is a detective named Hattori Heiji who should be here with you."

Hattori Heiji greeted: "He Ye, here."

"Ah, Heiji." Toyama Kazuha walked up to the group of people.

Hattori Heiji murmured: "Why did you come to this place?"

"I just discovered something about Mr. Saint."

"What did you find out?"

"I saw Mr. Sheng practicing Iaido by himself yesterday before the Kendo Tournament started."

"Oh, but at that time, Attorney Kugaki had already been murdered. This cannot be used as proof of his absence."

"That's not what I'm talking about. At that time, I heard the sound of his knife being sheathed with a click. That sound was different from the sound I heard when he was performing. Could it be because the sheath was different?"

"It is indeed possible." Conan stroked his chin, "For example, someone replaced Brother Sheng's scabbard first, let the scabbard be stained with lawyer Kugaki's fingerprints, and then killed lawyer Kugaki. Afterwards, the scabbard was secretly replaced. Don't you think so?"

To be continued...
