Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1958 The Secret of the Knife

After a night, both Gao Yuan and Conan were doing their own things regarding this incident.

While Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai were developing the system all night, Conan and Hattori Heiji were also studying the piece of paper that Axie Takuzo took out.

So, the next day, at the Hakodate Police Station, Nakamori Ginzo summoned Conan and others to hold a discussion and analysis meeting to solve the mystery of the treasure hidden by Axie Keisaburo, based on the six short swords of Tokugawa Eiryu and the paper provided by Axie Takuzo.

"Inspector Nishimura is fully committed to investigating the murder of Kugaki Sumitu, so the mystery of the knife will have to be solved by us."

As for the purpose of calling everyone here, Ginzo Nakamori looked around at everyone present. Except for Zenkyu Kawazoe who stayed here to assist from the Hokkaido Police Headquarters, Conan, Heiji Hattori, and Souji Okita all came here.

Among them, Nakamori Ginzo looked at Okita Souji with a slightly curious expression——

Although I know that he is a friend of Hattori Heiji, a guy who is very good at kendo, and he was also one of the people who brought back the last two short swords yesterday, but he showed up in a meeting like this, and I always feel...

Although Ginzo Nakamori felt a little surprised, seeing that even a child like Conan was there, and everyone had been checked and confirmed that there were no masked people taking advantage of the situation here, although Ginzo Nakamori was surprised, it was only superficial and he did nothing.

"And what about that wise and far-sighted man? Didn't he come?"

After looking around at everyone present, Ginzo Nakamori couldn't help but ask about Gao Yuan who was not present.

"Well... although I contacted him, but... he just said 'I know', but he hasn't come over yet."

This is how Kawazoe Zenkyu explained.

"Is that so... Then let's not wait for him, let's get started first."

So, Nakamori Ginzo looked at the time and said this. Then, regarding the current situation, Kawazoe Zenkyu continued:

"These knives are what Kaito Kidd wants to steal. We believe that Kaito Kidd is interested in these knives, and it must be related to the treasure..."

In this way, when Kawazoe Zenkyu set the tone and gave the opening remarks, Conan and Hattori Heiji couldn't help but glance at "Okita Souji" -

"This guy really sneaked in openly..."

At this moment, because of what happened yesterday, Conan and Hattori Heiji are sure that the Okita Souji from yesterday and now is definitely a fake, so this guy is really fearless...

How on earth was he able to disguise himself as Okita Souji and pass the cross-dressing inspection?
Conan and Hattori Heiji have no clear evidence to speculate on this point, so they can only leave this guy alone for now. Perhaps in the subsequent analysis, this guy can give some constructive suggestions.

After all, after understanding Kaito Kid's goal, Conan and Hattori Heiji are clear that everything now is just a prelude to the final treasure. Before discovering the location of the treasure, Kaito Kid will not act rashly.

"Now, what we can confirm is that these six swords were forged by a blacksmith named Dongwa Ronglong, and whether there are any clues on the paper provided by Fujiang Takuzo..."

After Kawazoe Zenkyu gave a brief introduction, Nakamori Ginzo got down to business, talking about the six daggers and the piece of paper that were on the table in the conference room. But it was obvious that he was very confused about these things and didn't know how to find clues from them.

"There are forty-eight pseudonyms written on it..."

In response, Conan, who had carefully studied the table last night, spoke first:

"But the order is messed up, there should be a way to interpret it." So, after Conan said this, Hattori Heiji continued:
"I think the secret to deciphering the code should be in the sword. This sword is the one I used yesterday to fight the guy who attacked Kaito Kidd..."

As he said this, Hattori Heiji found the one he had used yesterday from the six short swords on the table, picked it up, grasped the handle, and pulled it hard, pulling off the guard of the handle alone, and explained:
"There are no nails or nail holes on this knife."

"Eye nail?"

So, listening to Hattori Heiji's story and watching him remove the guard of the handle, revealing the metal part of the handle, Nakamori Ginzo didn't quite understand what Hattori Heiji wanted to say.

"You see, it's like a nail, something that prevents the blade from coming off the handle."

Hattori Heiji gestured and in short, the entire samurai sword from the blade to the handle is forged in one piece, and the handle is covered with a guard made of other materials for easy holding. In order to ensure that the guard does not fall off, it is necessary to use something like a nail to nail the two together. In this way, the hole left by the "eye nail" on the two nailed together is the "eye nail hole".

"Some swords enshrined in shrines do not have eye spikes, but this sword is not for worship, so the lack of eye spikes must have other meanings..."

Hattori Heiji continued to talk. At this moment, he began to observe these short swords carefully based on this point, and then said:
"And not only is there no eye spike, but there is no eye spike hole either. This means that the eye spike of this sword is not lost, but it was missing when it was forged... The other sword that Kaito Kid stole from Monkura is the same, there is no eye spike hole or eye spike... But the other four swords are all equipped with eye spikes..."

At this point, after observing carefully for a moment, Hattori Heiji seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly said to Nakamori Ginzo and the others:

"Hey, do you have a hammer?"

"Yes, I'll get it."

Seeing Hattori Heiji make this request, Kawazoe Zenkyu immediately responded and went to get a hammer for Hattori Heiji.

Just like that, Hattori Heiji took the hammer and began to remove the nails from the other four daggers. He then observed the nail holes of the six daggers and made a surprising discovery.

Among these six daggers, the four with eyelet nails have eyelet nail holes that are surprisingly different.

"I didn't expect that eyelet holes would come in so many shapes."

Kawazoe Zenkyu looked at the result and said with some surprise.

"But for the eyelet holes, the best shape is actually a perfect circle, so that the largest area can withstand the impact force on the blade."

Hattori Heiji was also a little surprised by the result.

"In that case, wouldn't it be better to make them all into perfect circles?"

Ginzo Nakamori was obviously puzzled by this.

"Yes, this is obviously not normal... However, these six short swords forged by an unknown swordsmith in Dongwa Ronglong have become the key to the mystery...

"Could it be that these six short swords were specially forged for this puzzle?"

"Okita Souji" on the side suddenly said this... (End of this chapter)
