Stay away from Conan.

The first thing Conan and Hattori Heiji thought about after learning this information was to make the matter public as soon as possible so that Kadokura, who had not yet been caught but was obsessed with obtaining the treasure, would stop doing anything rash. Otherwise, since the treasure would be difficult to search for as the clues had been cut off, it was hard to imagine how much more this guy Kadokura would do.

However, before the two of them could take any action, Yoshinaga Miko took out another box kept in the shrine, which was the piece of paper that Gao Yuan had shown.

"That... is kept together at our shrine, and this... Although Mr. Akechi didn't say anything after reading it yesterday, since something like this has happened today, I think it would be better to hand it over to the police."

So, Yoshinaga Miko, who said this, was a little nervous about the invasion of Toshogu Shrine by so many people today. After all, someone from the other side fired a gun in Toshogu Shrine.

Therefore, after hearing what Yoshinaga Miko said, Conan and Hattori Heiji took the thing from her hand and saw that there was a piece of paper with a map of Hakodate drawn on it. What they first noticed was the five-pointed star-shaped bird's-eye view of Goryokaku in the lower right corner of the paper.

"This location..."

Faced with such a situation, Hattori Heiji immediately thought of something, and then Conan said:

"It's the paper I got from Mr. Fukushiro's house!"

Because when solving the secret of the knife, there is actually one thing that is not used, and that is the piece of paper with a completely black background and a red five-pointed star painted on the lower right corner.

Now it seems that the piece of paper is exactly the same size as the one in front of me, and both have a five-pointed star pattern in the lower right corner. This is obviously not a coincidence.

So Conan hurriedly asked Hattori Heiji:
"Hattori, do you have that piece of paper with you?"

In response, Hattori Heiji also understood Conan's intention, nodded seriously, and said with a smile:

"Of course, I've already made a copy of everything related!"

As he said this, Hattori Heiji took out the photocopied black paper from his backpack. Looking at the red five-pointed star printed on it, Conan couldn't help but say:
"Fold the two pieces of paper together and see!"

Then, Hattori Heiji did as he was told and saw that the two pieces of paper were perfectly overlapped, and the position of Goryokaku on the paper that Yoshinaga Miko took out completely overlapped with the position of the red five-pointed star on the paper that Fukushiro family took out.

"So that's how it is! They match perfectly! This can't be a coincidence!"

In this regard, looking at the two pieces of paper that can overlap perfectly, Conan and Hattori Heiji realized that perhaps the clues to tracking the treasure were not completely interrupted by the disappearance of the Star-Edged Knife, and this red Goryokaku pattern should be the key to solving the mystery.

“It felt and looked like the place was on fire.”

Faced with such a scene, Hattori Heiji felt this way.

After hearing this, Yoshinaga Miko, who was sitting opposite the two of them, suddenly remembered something and said:

"Oh, by the way, I heard a rumor before. It seems that during the war, there was a big fire in Goryokaku one night."

"During the war, Goryokaku was on fire!"

Hearing this, Conan was a little shocked, and then realized that Hattori Heiji's casual remarks just now might be the key to the problem - after all, Axe Keisaburo's treasure should be inseparable from the war period, and now all the clues lead to Goryokaku during the war period, so it is obvious that the direction to solve the mystery must start from this aspect.

"Yes, it is said that the moat was on fire, and a pattern of stars appeared in the night sky. It looks exactly like this."

Pointing at the red star pattern on the black paper that Hattori Heiji took out, Yoshinaga Miko said this.

So, after hearing all this and getting the new blueprint from Yoshinaga Miko, Conan asked in the face of the new clues:
"Have you told Mr. Akechi about this?"

"Ah? Well, no. Yesterday, Mr. Akechi looked at the paper kept in our shrine and gave it back to me."

Yoshinaga Miko responded.

After getting this answer, since there was nothing more to say, Yoshinaga Miko left the things to Conan and the others, then got up and said goodbye.

Now that they have new clues, Conan and Hattori Heiji suddenly have a new idea -

"Hey, Hattori..."

Originally, Conan, who had just realized that the wooden box was empty and thus smashed the wooden box, heard the clue that Gao Yuan had been to Toshogu Shrine yesterday. He thought that Gao Yuan could find clues about Toshogu Shrine without finding all six knives, which might mean that Gao Yuan already knew the truth and realized that the treasure was difficult to find, so Conan had to give up the search and instead thought about getting Monkura, who was obsessed with the treasure, to give up the matter.

As a result, things have taken a turn for the worse. The latest news from Yoshinaga Miko almost shows that Gao Yuan does not have a complete clue. Gao Yuan, who did not go to Mr. Fukushiro Ryohei's house with himself and others yesterday, naturally has not seen this black paper. Therefore, Gao Yuan is likely to not know the key clue that "Goryokaku is on fire".

Therefore, even if Gao Yuan did not give up the search for the treasure, without this clue, I am afraid that Gao Yuan's actions would not make much progress, so -

"Well, I don't know how the detective found Toshogu Shrine yesterday, but now... we should be ahead!"

Hattori Heiji understood Conan's intention.

"Since Mr. Akechi is investigating the clues to the treasure on his own without communicating with us, let's see which of us can find Keizaburo Axue's treasure faster!"

Conan said this, still feeling somewhat competitive, and wanted to compete with Gao Yuan, who had found Toshogu Shrine yesterday without any complete clues.

Moreover, to be honest, it was Gao Yuan who first refused to share the situation with me.

Therefore, after coming up with this idea, Conan and Hattori Heiji hit it off and prepared to continue searching for the treasure -

As long as we can find the treasure and take control of it, we will be able to restrict Mencang's actions in disguise!

Otherwise, under the premise that the police still do not have solid evidence of the Mencang crime and have not locked down the specific location of Mencang, Mencang is the most unstable and dangerous factor in this matter!

Just like that, after Conan and Hattori Heiji grasped the new direction of investigation, after a brief thought, combined with the current situation that Fukushiro Seiya was taken away by the police, Conan and his friends decided to go to Fukushiro's residence first to meet Fukushiro Ryohei and see if the other party knew anything else...
