Stay away from Conan.

"Oh! The 'Diary of Masanori Machida'? To be honest, I also found it very strange when Mr. Akechi asked me. These past two days I have been dealing with the collection takeover at the Fujiang Foundation. As for the diary missing from the collection catalog, I can be very sure that this diary is definitely not in the collection transferred by the Fujiang Foundation..."

After contacting Yuanzi and explaining the reason, Yuanzi was obviously also extremely helpless about this matter -

"but……"

However, just when Conan and Heiji Hattori heard what Sonoko said about the absence of the diary and felt that this thread was broken, Sonoko suddenly changed the subject, which immediately aroused Conan and Heiji Hattori's interest.

"Sister Sonoko, but what?"

Conan asked anxiously.

In response, Yuanzi smiled with a slightly arrogant confidence:

"Hehe, actually... although I can't find the diary collected by the Fujiang Group, I do have some clues about the diary..."

"Is this true?"

Conan couldn't help but ask nervously:
"Sister Sonoko, can you tell us everything you know? This is really important!"

After saying this, Yuanzi couldn't help but say:

"Of course you can. After all, Mr. Akechi specifically told me to tell you if I have any relevant information..."

Having said this, Sonoko continued to explain:

"In fact, Masanori Machida was a seafood wholesaler in Hakodate. During the time of Hijikata Toshizo, Masanori Machida met Hijikata Toshizo many times. Then he wrote about his encounters with Hijikata Toshizo in his diary, which led to the creation of the 'Diary of Masanori Machida'."

"I see. It's a diary that records things related to Hijikata Toshizo. No wonder it was collected by Axie Keizaburo."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji and Conan gradually understood the situation and said:

"But the diary is not in your hands now, Sonoko-sama? How do you know all this?"

But soon, Conan felt something strange and asked further.

"Hey, don't underestimate the capabilities of our Suzuki Group!"

In response to Conan's doubts, Sonoko explained with a smug smile, her tone boasting in a very unique way:

"In fact, as early as when we found that the diary was missing from the collection of the Fujiang Group, we specifically investigated the matter about this diary. In the end, although we didn't find the diary, we found the person who sold it to Fujiang Keizaburo. And let me tell you, although that person sold the original to Fujiang Keizaburo, he still has a copy in his hand as a souvenir!"

"Really!"

Conan and Hattori Heiji were both surprised at the same time, and then Conan asked:

“Can you give me a copy?”

"No problem! I've asked someone to make an electronic version and send it to you and Mr. Mingzhi. I hope it can help you."

Yuanzi said this very enthusiastically.

So, as the sound of the email rang, Conan saw a scanned document received in his mailbox, and he excitedly expressed his gratitude to Sonoko.

Afterwards, when the call was interrupted, Hattori Heiji analyzed the situation:
"Although I don't know what happened, I think the person who stole the Star-Edged Sword most likely also stole the diary. Since the Star-Edged Sword cannot be found, at least take a look at this diary..." As he said this, Hattori Heiji followed Conan to look through the diary.

However, after reading the diary, Conan and Hattori Heiji learned:
The Star Blade was forged when Goryokaku was built, and was presented to Hijikata Toshizo to kill the enemy, but in the end Hijikata Toshizo did not have the Star Blade in his hand.

Apart from the above clues, there is no additional information, which makes Conan and Hattori Heiji more helpless.

"What kind of clue is this?"

Conan said helplessly:
"Apart from knowing what Keizaburou Axie was thinking when he brought the Star Edged Sword to Goryokaku, it seems that there is no way to draw any conclusions, right?"

"But in that case, Mr. Akechi is probably right about both the Star Blade and Goryokaku having five-pointed stars on them. The clue may lie in the connection between the two..."

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but think.

"Um……"

Conan agreed with Hattori Heiji's opinion and nodded. Then he and Hattori Heiji came to the location of Goryokaku where Axie Keisaburo was in the photo. He began to recall the content of the photo and began to think about it when he came to the actual place...

……

"I have found Keizaburo Axue's treasure."

While Conan and his friends were investigating in Goryokaku, Takato, on the other side, and Kuroba Kaito, after disguising themselves, met in a remote place. Takato then told Kuroba Kaito directly about the incident.

As a result, Kuroba Kaito was not surprised to hear this. He just said "As expected", and then said:
"After all, you already knew that the things in Toshogu Shrine had been stolen a long time ago, so I guessed that you probably found out more than anyone else!"

As he said this, Kuroba Kaito asked in confusion:
"But what do you want to do by telling me this now?"

"Kadokura is now trying his best to get Keizaburo Axie's treasure, and even uses bombs to threaten the safety of the entire city of Hakodate, so I need to stop him and need your help."

Gao Yuan stated his thoughts directly.

"For Kadokura..."

Hearing that Gao Yuan was going to deal with Kadokura, Kuroba Kaito naturally became interested:
"I won't let him off for this either! But, Kadokura is hiding in the dark now, what do you want to do? Use the treasure?"

"The treasure is the last resort. If Mencang knew in advance that I knew where the treasure was, I'm afraid he would do something crazy, which would be detrimental to our actions."

Gao Yuan analyzed:
"Now, Conan and Hattori are still investigating the treasure, and they should be able to divert Kadokura's attention. However, when they are about to find the treasure based on the clues, Kadokura will definitely take action, so we must seize this opportunity to see if we can lurk next to Kadokura and eliminate the threat directly..."

"That's easy. If I can lure him out, it won't be difficult for me to sneak up on him."

Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but feel angry when he thought about the fact that Kadokura shot and injured Nakamori Ginzo, so when he heard Gao Yuan's proposal, he agreed without thinking much.

"Of course, in addition to this, I analyzed that there will definitely be a force that helps Monkura escape appearing from the sea tonight. I need to get in touch with the force that assists Monkura before completely arresting Monkura. Monkura's contact information with the other party must also be in Monkura's possession. This is what I hope you can do..."

Gao Yuan then made another request, and Kuroba Kaito nodded in agreement. So in the end -

"One more thing..." (End of this chapter)
