Stay away from Conan.

"I remember... Kadokura is Japanese-American, right? Then his upstream, could it be that he is related to..."

After listening to Kawazoe Zenkyu's answer, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask this.

Then, Kawazoe Zenkyu shook his head uncertainly and said:

"Not sure..."

So, seeing that Kawazoe Zenkyuu was not going to explain to him, Gao Yuan did not continue to ask about this matter, but instead said:
"In that case, is it possible that Kadokura's crazy actions this time are related to his superiors also wanting the so-called 'weapon that can change the situation of the war'?"

"did you mean……"

Hearing this, Kawazoe Zenkyuu seemed to be thinking about something.

"Is it possible that foreign forces will soon get involved in this matter?"

Glancing at Gao Yuan, Kawazoe Zenkyu asked with a slightly sharp look in his eyes.

"After all...Hakodate is a coastal city, so it has natural advantages in some aspects."

Gao Yuan casually continued his guess:
"But speaking of which... Officer Kawazoe, do you really believe that the treasure hidden by Keizaburou Axue is a weapon that is extremely dangerous even today?"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Kawazoe Zenkyu responded with a look of confusion.

Then Gao Yuan continued:

"Actually... to me, no matter if there are people upstream helping him behind Kadokura, he has already reached a dead end this time. I don't know if he doesn't understand history. In the era when Keisaburo Axie hid the treasure, that is, during the war, it was impossible for Japan to master weapons that could turn the tide of the war, and it was even more impossible after the war.

“But it’s clear that Kadokura didn’t know about these things, and I don’t know how he told his upstream people…

"If they knew that the so-called treasure of Axie Keisaburo is now just a pile of scrap metal that can barely be exhibited in a museum, do you think they would give up Kadokura?"

"Well... I understand what you mean! I'll try to send someone to investigate!"

At this point, Kawazoe Zenkyu seemed to have suddenly realized something. After saying this to Gao Yuan and thanking him, he ran away, as if he was looking for someone to give some instructions.

At this time, Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and looked at the email he had received from Kuroba Kaito. It can be seen from the email that Kuroba Kaito tried his best to restrain himself, but his anxiety was still evident. After Gao Yuan looked at the specific reply time, his thoughts suddenly dawned, and then he chased in the direction where Kawazoe Zenkyu left, but -

Missing?
I saw him walking towards this side, but now I can’t see Kawazoe Zenkyu’s men?
In this regard, after confirming through the sending and receiving times of emails that Kawazoe Zenkyu, who had just been delayed by him with words, was definitely not Kuroba Kaito, he decided to use the simplest method to confirm whether the other person's face was a mask when no one was around, to find out whether Kawazoe Zenkyu's identity was really in doubt.

But now, Kawazoe Zenkyu is missing?
This made Gao Yuan suspicious but unable to verify it.

but……

It doesn't matter, this answer is also the answer...

At this point, Gao Yuan already had the answer in his mind, and without continuing to try to find Kawazoe Zenkyu, Gao Yuan left.

However, just after Gao Yuan left, in a shadow, Kawazoe Zenkyu was there, hiding behind the wall, with his head lowered towards Gao Yuan's departing back, his glasses reflecting the light, and the corners of his mouth stretched, revealing a somewhat arrogant smile...

...The next day, Gao Yuan, who had arrived here early, found Nakamori Ginzo's daughter, Nakamori Aoko, in the hospital. It seemed that she had received news about her father yesterday and rushed here overnight to take care of the injured Nakamori Ginzo.

In response to this, after Gao Yuan met Nakamori Aoko, he came up to find out about Nakamori Ginzo's current situation. Since Nakamori Aoko seemed to have seen Gao Yuan somewhere, Nakamori Ginzo naturally responded to Gao Yuan.

From this, Gao Yuan learned that after surgery last night, Officer Nakamori Ginzo was temporarily out of danger, but was still in the intensive care unit with no signs of waking up.

As for Gao Yuan's identity, Nakamori Aoko only had an impression but couldn't remember it clearly, so she asked about Gao Yuan's identity as well.

In response, Gao Yuan explained that he knew Kuroba Kaito and that might be why they met.

So, Nakamori Aoko didn't ask any more questions, and soon Inspector Nishimura came over, but judging from his appearance, yesterday's investigation must have yielded nothing.

"Excuse me, are you Inspector Nishimura?"

At this time, the nurse from the hospital seemed to be looking for Inspector Nishimura. After seeing him, she came up to ask him a few questions. After getting an exact answer from Inspector Nishimura, the nurse said:
"Someone called. It was a man named Monkura, and he specifically asked Inspector Nishimura to answer the call..."

Immediately, upon hearing this, Gao Yuan and Inspector Nishimura from the Caidao Hospital looked at each other, then followed the nurse to see what Monkura wanted to do by calling -

"Whatever you want to do, tell us where you are immediately and release Mr. Fukushiro Ryohei!"

After arriving at the hospital's phone and turning on the hands-free function, he heard Monkura's voice coming from the other end of the phone. Inspector Nishimura first asked the police to track the signal as much as possible, while on the other end he negotiated with Monkura:
"You should know that you can't escape from Hakodate City now!"

"Oh - sure, I can let this old guy go, but you have to exchange it for treasures."

Menkura on the other end of the phone said harshly.

"But... we didn't find the treasure..."

In response to this, Gao Yuan thought about it for a moment and decided to delay time.

"Then go find it quickly, Mr. Detective!"

Listening to Gao Yuan's voice, the other party seemed to know Gao Yuan's identity.

"Then at least, we have to confirm whether Mr. Fukushiro Ryohei is still alive!"

And Inspector Nishimura immediately asked anxiously:

"We need to talk to him. As far as we know, he should be the one who is most likely to have clues to the treasure!"

"Oh? You think so? But this old guy...just doesn't say a word to me!"

After Inspector Nishimura finished speaking, the voice of Kadokura on the other end of the phone gradually became more vicious, and then Fukushiro Ryohei's screams were heard, followed by Fukushiro Ryohei's next words:
"Oh... Of course, there's no need to tell people like you. I was commissioned by someone to search for the treasure left by Axie Keisaburo. As for what the treasure is, I don't know. The only thing I can be sure of is that it is a weapon that can turn the war situation around..."

"Someone's commission? Who is it?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly felt something -

It seems that the last piece of the puzzle is about to be put together! (End of this chapter)
