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

Chapter 285: The Battle of Ryokaku: The Secret of the Treasure

In the Hakodate Police Station, Fukushiro Sei was sitting in the interrogation room with a calm expression: "Sorry, although I am still being interrogated, can I go to the bathroom for a moment?"

The guarding police officer looked him up and down and said, "Okay, but you have to move quickly."

The two men came to the bathroom door and just heard two police officers talking while running.

"It's Hakodate City Hospital. Something's happened. Let's go!"

"it is good!"

Fu Chengsheng and the police officer walked into the bathroom, and as soon as the door closed, Fu Chengsheng quickly knocked the police officer unconscious. He climbed up the window and successfully escaped from the place.

In Hakodate City Hospital, Nakamori Aoko has been guarding her father's bedside. Suddenly, Officer Nakamori moved his fingers and slowly opened his eyes.

"Dad!" Nakamori Aoko cried out in surprise, her eyes instantly moist. She turned around and ran out quickly to tell others the good news.

In the ward, Kaito Kid, who was standing guard nearby, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Nakamori Aoko leave, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

He turned and quietly left the hospital.

The hospital corridor was silent and deserted. Kuroba Toichi, dressed as Kawazoe Yoshihisa, looked at the direction where his son was walking away with a smile on his face.

Kudo Yuki appeared behind Kuroba Touichi. "Aren't you going to find time to talk to that brat?"

"Now is not the time."

"why?"

"Some things require him to experience and grow on his own."

Kudo Yuki understood his good intentions, "Okay, I understand."

The two stood there, seemingly thinking about something.

Hei Yu Daoyi turned his head slightly, looked at Kudo Yuki, and whispered softly: "Do you think they can find the treasure?"

"It's hard to say. Although Conan, Hattori Heiji and I saw the Star Blade in the photo, the shrine maiden at Toshogu Shrine said that the blade was stolen many years ago.

The whereabouts of the knife is insignificant. If the Star-Edged Knife is really as powerful as it is said to be, it would have been coveted by people with ulterior motives and would have caused a lot of fighting over it.

Instead of being mentioned now, I think the rumors about the Star Blade are a bit exaggerated. The most important thing now is how to arrest Brian D. Kadokura and rescue Mr. Ryoe. "

Hei Yu Dao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. "Indeed, the rumors about this treasure may be exaggerated. However, the matter of this treasure is not so easy to let go. Once the rumor about the Star Edge Knife is known to someone with ulterior motives, it will definitely cause a bigger disturbance."

Kudo Yuki thought for a moment and replied, "Everything Kadokura did will be judged in due time."

Hei Yu Dao Yi was silent for a moment: "For now, let's solve the crisis at hand. As for the treasure, let's see how the situation develops."

He ended the subject and turned away.

Inside the hotel villa, a foreign businessman was talking to Brian D. Kadokura on his cell phone.

"I know we have basically got the weapon, and I trust you very much, Mr. Kadokura. We can only stay here until 10 o'clock tonight at the latest, but if you betray us..."

"Don't threaten me, contact me again." After Brian D. Monkura hung up the phone, he felt a little unwilling and weighed the pros and cons.

Downstairs of Hakodate City Hospital, the scene was surrounded by a cordon, and police officers directed the passing crowd. "Please don't stop, just move forward."

Kudo Yuki came to the corridor not far from Officer Nakamori and met Conan and Hattori Heiji. The three of them walked towards Officer Nakamori's ward together.

Maori Kogoro stood not far away and waved, "Go forward, this way."

Conan looked up, "I heard that Inspector Nakamori has regained consciousness?"

Nakamori Aoko let her hands fall naturally, "Yes, but we can't go in to visit him now."

Hattori Heiji said: "Is that so?"

Kudo Yuki nodded and said, "I'm glad you're okay."

Nakamori Aoko said: "Thank you for caring about him so much, and dad has something to tell you."

Hattori Heiji looked puzzled: "Do you have something to tell me?"

"Yes, the one who was shot, Takuzo Axie, said something to my father before he passed out, 'The Diary of Masanori Machida'."

Conan rubbed his chin with his hand: "Diary?"

At this moment, Kuroba Toichi was running in the hospital.

The nurse scolded: "Don't run in the corridor."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry." Kuroba Touichi was jogging, his foot slipped and he almost fell, then he walked in front of Mouri Kogoro.

Maori Kogoro put his hands in his pockets, "What happened?"

Hei Yu Daoyi was slightly out of breath: "Inspector Nishimura called just now and said that Fukushiro Sei escaped!"

"Ah, what did you say!"

“I don’t know where he ran off to.”

"Really? So many things happening one after another. Let's go!"

"Ah good."

With that, the two of them started running.

The nurse reminded again: "I told you not to run in the corridor."

"Sorry." The two said in unison and continued walking at a fast pace.

Hattori Heiji scratched his head: "Why did Fukujo Seiji run away? If he stayed a little longer, he would be free."

Conan guessed: "Could something have happened? It will be too late if we wait any longer."

"Now that you mention it, I remember something Mr. Liang Wei said on the phone."

"'But you can't stop me', right?"

"Yes."

"I should have noticed this a long time ago. Just as Ryoe inherited Tadayuki's will, someone else will inherit Ryoe's will as well."

"That must be his son, Fukujo Sei."

Kudo Yuki murmured, "It's like the star mark left on the tatami. Maybe it's his way of conveying some information to Fukushiro Sei."

Nakamori Aoko squatted down and looked at Conan.

Conan tilted his head: "Hey, what's wrong?"

Nakamori Aoko put her hands on her chin and said, "Little friend, you and I grew up together as a boy. We looked alike when we were young. And Miss Kudo also looks like him."

Kudo Yuki raised her eyebrows: "Is that so?"

Nakamori Aoko still stared at Conan: "Yes, almost the same."

After the four of them exchanged a few polite words, the siblings and Hattori Heiji walked out of the hospital.

Conan sat on the motorcycle, turned on his mobile phone and made a video call with Suzuki Sonoko to ask for clues.

"Little brat, why did you call me suddenly?"

"Sister Sonoko."

"what's wrong?"

"Are you saying there's a book missing from the catalogue?"

"Yes, but in the end, we still couldn't find it."

"Do you know the title of that book?"

"The title of the book. Let me think what it was called. It should be a diary written by a man named Masanori Machida. During the Hakodate War, this man was a local seafood wholesaler in Hakodate."

"Then why is his diary in Fu Jiang's house?"

"This Masanori Machida met Hijikata many times, and he wrote down the details of his meetings in his diary."

"But the diary is not in your hands now, right?"

"Hey, don't underestimate the ability of the Suzuki Group! Although we didn't get the diary, we found the person who sold it to Axie Keisaburo. That person has a copy!"

Conan and Hattori Heiji said in unison: "Really?"

Conan lowered his voice: "Can you give me a copy?"

"Sure, it's already been converted into an electronic version. I'll give it to you right now."

"Thank you." The phone hung up.

Hattori Heiji held his helmet in one hand, "Although we don't know who did it yet, but whoever stole the Star Edge Sword must have also stolen the book, right?"

Conan nodded, "I've always been concerned about it. That book is the only one missing from the collection."

Not long after, Conan received the e-book. He clicked on the book and exclaimed: "As expected, Sonoko-sister is really quick."

Conan flipped through the diary, "Ah, this is it."

Kudo Yuki raised an eyebrow: "So it was Machida Masanori who presented the sword to Hijikata."

The three of them looked at the diary displayed on Conan's phone screen:

On December 3rd, it snowed late at night.

I presented the star-edged sword to Lord Hijikata, which was forged when Goryokaku Castle was built. Then we were attacked by the soldiers, and Lord Hijikata was able to deal with the situation alone.

Conan looked up and complained: "This can't be considered a clue."

Hattori Heiji agreed: "That's right."

The three little ones shouted, "Conan, Sister Xue."

The siblings and Hattori Heiji turned to look in the direction of the voice.

Conan jumped off the motorcycle, "Huh? It's you guys, I didn't expect you guys to come so quickly."

Mitsuhiko's face lit up: "Since this is an emergency gathering of the detective team, we will rush here as soon as possible no matter what."

Conan's mouth twitched, and he thought: "Actually, I'm only looking for Professor Agasa."

Yuan Tai was very happy: "There is no time to dawdle, we have to go eat seafood rice and Genghis Khan roast lamb."

Kudo Yuki saw Conan's intention: "Wait a minute, Doctor, where is what Conan wants?"

Dr. Agasa patted his backpack and said, "It's been prepared for a long time."

The three kids took out business cards from their pockets, and Ayumi handed it to Conan. "Look at this, it's a stamp from the station."

Conan took it, looked at the pattern and thought of a clue.

Seeing that her brother hadn't spoken for a long time, Kudo Yuki whispered in his ear: "Conan, what are you thinking about?"

Conan's thoughts were pulled back, and he frowned slightly, pointing at the pattern on it and said, "This is a road sign, right?"

Hattori Heiji looked down and said, "Yes, I just noticed this as well. Now we are finally about to have the final confrontation."

Kudo Yuki looked at the beautiful sunset, with a faint smile on her lips: "It's almost time to end."

She took out her cell phone and sent a message to Inspector Nishimura:

Meeting with Brian D. Kadokura tonight.

In the back garden of the hotel villa, Fukushiro Yoshie was sitting on a chair opposite Brian D. Kadokura with his hands tied. He was talking to someone from the Hakodate Police Department on his cell phone.

"Tonight at 7pm, at Goryokaku? Okay."

When Fu Chengsheng arrived near his home, he saw two police officers standing guard at the door.

A police officer was reporting over the intercom: "There is nothing unusual at the moment."

Fucheng Sheng frowned, then turned around and quietly jumped into the courtyard from the side wall.

He opened the cabinet door, which contained more than a dozen different kinds of knives. He took out a knife, got on his motorcycle, started the engine, and rushed out through the front door.

The two police officers on guard were stunned by the situation. One of them waved his hand and shouted, "Stop!"

Fu Chengsheng turned a deaf ear to them, turned the throttle of his motorcycle and sped away. The two police officers were so frightened that they subconsciously dodged. He rode his motorcycle to complete the mission in his heart.

Inspector Nishimura has everything ready and is just waiting for the dust to settle so that he can carry out the arrest operation and await the arrival of Brian D. Kadokura.

Conan and Hattori Heiji had been waiting in Goryokaku for a long time, while Kudo Yuki was hiding not far away, watching the fun with Shu Shu.

Finally, the time for the two sides to meet came. Brian D. Kadokura and his men forced Fukushiro Yoshie to slowly get out of the car and walk to the center.

Brian D. Kadokura paused and looked at Conan and Hattori Heiji. "What the hell! Two little brats are here."

Ryoe Fukushiro looked up at the two of them, "You two..." Before he could finish his words, Brian D. Kadokura's men pressed down on Ryoe Fukushiro's arms and exerted a little force. He couldn't break free and had to shut up.

Brian D. Kadokura said, "Well, can you tell me now? Where is the treasure?"

Hattori Heiji raised his chin slightly, "It's not clear yet."

Conan calmly took out his phone and sent a file to Brian D. Kadokura in front of everyone. "We'll find the treasure soon."

Brian D. Kadokura took out his cell phone from his inner pocket and looked at it. "Hot air balloon?"

Hattori Heiji looked up at the night sky and whispered, "We thought about it. During the war, Keisaburo Axie launched a hot air balloon here for a purpose."

Conan held up three fingers with the hand holding the phone. "There are three key points in the photo. First, the floor of the hot air balloon is made of glass. Second, Keisaburo Axie is carrying a knife. Third, he personally sat on the hot air balloon and was observing something with a telescope."

Brian D. Kadokura asked, "Is the knife in his hand the Star-Edged Sword that disappeared from Toshogu Shrine?"

Conan's expression was serious: "That's right, but we still haven't found the knife."

"How is it possible that you could find the treasure without the knife?"

"Then you just keep an eye on it."

Brian D. Kadokura looked at the five-pointed star pattern on his phone with a suspicious look on his face: "What is this?"

Hattori Heiji put one hand in his pocket. "It is said that Goryokaku caught fire one night during the war. We assume that this painting depicts the situation at that time."

Conan put the phone to his ear and said, "Let's do it."

After pressing the button, the location where everyone was located continued to emit light, forming the shape of a five-pointed star.

Brian D. Kadokura was even more confused: "What is that?"

Suddenly, the torch of the hot air balloon was lit, and he turned his head to see the hot air balloon made by Dr. Agasa slowly rising into the sky. Dr. Agasa and the members of the Junior Detective League were all on the hot air balloon.

The three little ones cheered excitedly.

"Conan!"

"How is it? We are well prepared, right?"

"I almost fell asleep waiting."

Huihara Ai urged: "Okay, can you please finish it quickly?"

Conan replied, "I know."

Brian D. Monkura looked at the hot air balloons rising into the sky, confused: "What on earth do you want to do?"

When he finished saying this, one of his men beside him was attracted by Kaito Kid and walked to a remote location.
