Stay away from Conan.

Hattori Heiji took the wooden sword and gestured to get used to the feel of the sword. Then he and Fukusei Sei stood on both sides of the stone path in front of the Fukushiro mansion, and the two of them tacitly assumed attacking postures.

Hattori Heiji held the sword with both hands, with the blade tilted upward at a forty-five degree angle, and placed it in front of himself to guard his center line.

Fu Chengsheng's posture was somewhat different. Although he also held the knife with both hands, he leaned sideways with his hands hanging down and dragging the knife behind him. It looked like he had completely given up on defense and was ready to gain the advantage with an extreme offensive.

Thus, looking at each other's posture, Hattori Heiji and Fukusei Sei both looked very solemn, and each of them felt that the other was not simple -

"This person... is quite amazing."

In this way, after observing for several times, the two did not find any flaws in each other's posture, and they couldn't help but think so in their hearts.

However, things have come to this point, even if it is not easy to defeat the enemy, we must take action.

Therefore, because of the stance, the wooden sword was placed directly in front of him, and Hattori Heiji took the lead in attacking -

Hattori Heiji shouted, raised his sword, then took a step forward and chopped the blade down, ready to decide the outcome with one blow and attack directly.

However, Fukusei was not willing to be outdone. He responded the moment Hattori Heiji made a move, swung his sword, and slashed it diagonally upwards, and also shouted to strengthen his momentum -

In this way, the attacks of the two can be said to be evenly matched, and neither of them is willing to give in. At such a distance, I am afraid that the attacks of both will hit each other, resulting in a situation where both sides suffer losses.

Just like that, when the two men’s swords were about to collide in mid-air and the fight was about to end, the door of Fucheng’s house was opened from the inside. An old man with gray hair and beard walked out of the door and shouted to the two men in front of him:
"You two, stop it!"

Thus, this timely call to stop made the two men stop their actions just when they were about to lose control. Just when the blades were about to collide, they stopped their hands and looked at the old man who was leaving at the same time.

Suddenly, with the appearance of the old man, Conan and Hattori Heiji were stunned when they saw this old man with a long beard on his chin, gray hair, and a slightly thin figure, as if they recognized who the other person was.

At the same time, as the two men stopped, the old man who had said "Stop" majestically and seriously, became weaker and asked Fu Chengsheng with a little doubt:
"Ah Sheng, what's going on? It's inappropriate to compete with others in the yard."

"I'm sorry, Dad, for making such a noise."

Facing the old man's teachings, Fu Chengsheng looked apologetic and replied in a slightly weak tone.

"Have you finished cleaning the entrance?"

Then the old man looked around the door and asked this question.

"It's already been cleaned."

Fu Chengsheng said this, and the old man was obviously very satisfied. He nodded and said:

"That's good. As long as the energy in the entrance is smooth, good luck will naturally return to the doorstep. So... who are you?"

At this point, the old man finally asked everyone present. After all, with so many people appearing in front of his door, he always felt that something was a little strange.

"You must be Fukushiro Ryohei, right?"

In response to the old man's question, the police officer Kawazoe Zenkyu was the first to step forward and ask the other party's name.

After all, the purpose of this trip was to find the high school teacher named Fukushiro Ryohei and ask him about the other two Dongwa Ronglong short swords. Obviously, based on the photo, Fukushiro Ryohei was the person in front of him.

"My last name is Kawazoe, and I'm a police officer in Hokkaido."

So, Kawazoe Zenkyu took out his ID and showed it to the old man, then explained:

"We have something to ask you about the treasure hidden by Keizaburo Axie." "I see."

After hearing that the question was about Keizaburo Axie's treasure, and looking at Kawazoe Zenkyu's police ID, the old man Fukushiro Ryohei seemed to understand what was going on, so he said:
"Then let's go inside and talk."

In this way, Fukushiro Ryohei invited everyone into the house to discuss in detail.

However, as for the next thing to talk about, Xiaolan and Kazuha looked at each other and felt that it was inconvenient to stay here, so they said goodbye to everyone:
"Well... in that case, we'll take our leave now."

"Xiaolan and I will go back to the hotel first."

He Ye also said this, and then the two of them left first...

……

"Hijikata Toshizo... is also related to Hakodate..."

On the other hand, just when Conan and his friends were looking for Fukjo Ryohei, Gao Yuan, who had just finished taking a statement at the police station and had some guesses about the so-called treasure of Axie Keisaburo, happened to meet the helicopter of Ooka Momiji's family. So, he took advantage of this convenient means of transportation and boarded the helicopter again, chatting with Ooka Momiji and the others.

For example, there are some things about Hijikata Toshizo.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

After all, Gao Yuan didn't know much about Japanese history, so while he was trying to search the history on the Internet, Gao Yuan also tried to ask the people on the helicopter to see if they had any knowledge.

So, after hearing what Gao Yuan asked, Ooka Hongye couldn't help but say:

"When it comes to Hijikata Toshizo, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Touou Hakujukushu, but... this should have nothing to do with what you are investigating, Mr. Akechi, right?"

"that……"

However, on the other side, after hearing this, Yukina Mitarai couldn't help but say:

"Cousin, when we talk about Hijikata Toshizo and Hakodate... we have to mention Goryokaku, right?"

"Goryokaku?"

Gao Yuan was a little confused about this term.

But then, after hearing this, Ooka Hongye suddenly realized something and couldn't help but say:
"Ah! Yes! Really! How could I forget such an important thing!"

After saying that, Ooka Momiji turned to Iori Muga, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat of the helicopter and said:
"Iori, go to Goryokaku!"

After saying this, facing Gao Yuan's doubts, Ooka Hongye began to explain:

"Goryokaku was built in 1864 by the Edo Shogunate in Hakodate, Ezo, which is now the outskirts of Hakodate. The Hakodate War, the last war of the Meiji Restoration in Japan, was fought at Goryokaku in Hakodate.

"At the end of the Battle of Hakodate, Hijikata Toshizo was the only one who tried to stop the new government army from invading from Nanajima at Ippongi Pass, but unfortunately he was shot in the abdomen in the chaos of the battle and fell off his horse and died. After that, the whereabouts of Hijikata Toshizo's body was unknown, and he might have been buried in Goryokaku with other dead in the war.

"So, when it comes to Hakodate, when you mention Hijikata Toshizo, you can't avoid mentioning Goryokaku."

So, after Ooka Momiji finished explaining this, Gao Yuan recalled the description of Goryokaku and manually searched the Internet, and couldn't help but be surprised -
