Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"So, when facing the pursuit, Hijikata Toshizo used the legendary Star Edge Sword to fight back, and the blood from the murder flowed along the sword and left a mark on this folding screen."

The Kudo brothers stood in front of an old folding screen, looking at the yellowed surface with black five-pointed stars and blood stains.

"Is this the correct introduction?"

Conan held the tablet and showed Yuuji the auction introduction of the screen that year. The introduction was indeed the same as the mark on the tag on the lower right corner of the real object.

"I really like Hijikata Toshizo. He even collects things like this."

After finishing lunch at the police station, the two brothers took the police's car and followed to the safe where the Fujiang family stored their collections. The warehouse was located in the basement of the northeast corner of the backyard of the Fujiang mansion. The mansion could be entered directly from the small door on the north side.

As expected of a famous large group in Hokkaido, of course it may also be related to the fact that land prices in Hokkaido are cheaper than in Tokyo. Fujiang’s mansion is actually bigger than those of the Suzuki Group and the Minami family.

"Compared to the places I've been to, only Senior Hongye's house is bigger than this place."

After all, this is an old house that has been expanded by the Ooka family from generation to generation, and it is definitely not something that an ordinary family can catch up with.

Judging from the current situation of the vault, in addition to the policemen who were busy on guard, the rest of the servants of the Axe family were also mixed in, which obviously did not meet Nakamori Ginzo's requirements.

"We can't help it. Fujiang Takuzo said that since his father passed away a few years ago, the group's business has been getting worse day by day. It's rare that the Suzuki Group is willing to buy their collections at 70% of the auction price while acquiring the group, so they are worried that the other party will go back on their word and have to speed up the shipment overnight."

A few days ago, the rebuilt Suzuki Museum became popular again because of Kidd's dramatic scene on television all over Japan, but it was immediately pointed out by people on the Internet as a collectible.

"Advisor Suzuki must be very happy. It's rare to get such a large collection of works for exhibition so quickly."

If they are sold one by one, I am afraid that when they are ready, the momentum brought by Kidd will fade. As for money, the Suzuki Group does not care. Everything in the museum is to serve the real estate and industry of the surrounding Suzuki Group.

"According to Kidd's announcement, he will come to take away the remaining two daggers of the Axe family at 20 o'clock tonight." Nakamori Ginzo raised his arm to confirm that it was :.

"For the next two hours, Kidd won't be able to break into the vault, and the people inside can only pack up and can't leave."

As long as the two daggers are not stolen by ten o'clock, Officer Nakamori's mission will be accomplished, but after that... it will have nothing to do with him.

Kaito suddenly shifted his target from the gem to the sword, which made Nakamori Ginzo extremely concerned. He was sure that the person who came to Hokkaido was not the Phantom Thief Crow.

[Dad, Kaito went to the Metropolitan Police Department and hasn’t come back yet…]
The Kuroba couple is temporarily staying in a hotel. Their daughter, who had already told Officer Nakamori that she would not be returning home at night, called home using the Kuroba family's landline at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. This made the father, who had previously confirmed that Aoko and Kaito were still in a semi-pure relationship, realize something. He felt bitter in his heart and was a little irritated with the brat.

[Aoko, you are ready. Kaito, is there anything more important than your girlfriend who is waiting for you in your room...]

In fact, the version update happened not long ago, of course Officer Nakamori didn't know about it.

The magic boy returned home from the Blue Parrot Bar after midnight. It was not until he saw his girlfriend in his room wearing only his shirt with a more exciting outfit faintly visible underneath that Kuroba Kaito realized what he had missed out on due to the hours of planning with Grandpa Terai.

"Officer Nakamori? Officer Nakamori!"

Takuzo Axie, wearing a white suit, called out to Ginzo Nakamori, who was trapped in his own world, and the Kudo brothers, noticing that his expression switched back and forth between disappointment and disgust, very tactfully moved their positions.

"I'm afraid Officer Nakamori can't be trusted today."

Conan sat on the steps and pulled two cans of coffee from his pocket.

"That look is exactly the same as when Uncle Maori looked at you."

"I, Ou-chan, when... ah, you mean when Kudo Shinichi was here." Conan put the can to his mouth: "But the uncle is okay, not so twisted."

"is it?"

Yuji dialed the phone, and while Conan was confused, the voice of Kogoro Mouri came from the phone.

"Yuji?"

"Uncle, where have you been?"

"Hey, I'm in Akita now, the wine here is really good." Judging from the noise on the phone, Kogoro Mori obviously did not go directly to Hakodate, but chose to stay in Akita for a day. Because the National Kendo Competition has not started yet, the uncle decisively went to the izakaya tonight.

"Ah, ever since Eri moved back home, I haven't dared to drink for a long time. Yo, let's drink to our heart's content tonight."

Kogoro Mouri took a sip of wine, then exhaled slowly, and then asked Yuji why he called.

"Shinichi is here too, and he kicked me out of the room while Ran-san was taking a shower!"

"..."

"Uncle?"

"killed……"

Conan's expression changed from confusion to horror. He opened his mouth to explain that Yuji was talking nonsense again, but his brother immediately hung up the phone, leaving him no chance to explain.

"Uncle definitely wants to kill me! Last time in Kyoto, he found out that I took Xiaolan to the hotel and he wanted to kill me!"

"Don't worry, I'm Cupid, of course I'm here to help you."

Yuji then called Xiaolan again. When he heard that it was Kazuha who answered the phone, he looked at Conan curiously.

"Xiaolan?"

He Ye, who had just asked Xiaolan to blow dry her hair, looked towards the bathroom and said, "Xiaolan is taking a shower. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just worried that you two might feel unsafe. After all, it's two girls staying in a hotel, and we might not go back tonight."

There was really nothing they could do about Yuuji. Toyama and Ye heard the boy who was acting as their younger brother on the other end of the phone caring about them, and said with a smile: "What do you think of us? We are not delicate girls."

"is it?"

The young man pinched his chin and said, "I don't know about Senior Heye, but Sister Xiaolan said it's around the waist."

"what?"

"Nothing. I have a stun gun in my bag that I use regularly. I can take it to my room for self-defense at night. Oh, and there's another black box. Could you please help me press the blue button on it?"

"Hey, I wish you all the best today."

Yuuji ignored Conan, who was trembling as he watched the incoming video call message next to him but didn't dare to answer it. He put his phone away and slowly drank his coffee.

[It’s time for these two people to take a step further. ]

"Waist?"

In the hotel, Toyama did as Yuuji said and didn't notice that the signal on Xiaolan's phone suddenly disappeared. She heard Xiaolan's voice asking her to help blow-dry her hair after taking a shower, and walked out of the room.

"Waist..."

Holding the hair dryer is a good opportunity. Yuanshan and Ye thought about it and started tickling Xiaolan's neck.

"Wakaba-chan, it's itchy."

The unicorn girl smiled, but the time at her waist explained the outcome of the problem: what would be Xiaolan's reaction when she was tickled at the waist?

"Xiaolan, I didn't mean it."

Looking at the blushing and weak girl, He Ye swallowed.

[The cry became cute in an instant...] (End of this chapter)
