Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"I see. This is the secret treasure that can instantly change the situation in Asia..."

Under the horrified gazes of passers-by, a group of men in black suits and sunglasses at night surrounded something unknown in the middle. Voices were heard over there, but it was unclear what was being said.

In Goryokaku filled with pink cherry blossom lights, the men in black dispersed every piece of open space and slowly revealed the center.

A skinny arm held up a black umbrella, covering the face, and an old voice came slowly from under the umbrella, as if looking at Goryokaku.

“It’s been renovated.”

"Yes."

Gojo, who was holding a cup of wolfberry tea next to him, swallowed his saliva. He didn't know why Kudo Yuuji, who claimed that he had slapped a piece of plasticine on his face, had such a weak figure, and the oppressive aura in his voice seemed to be stronger than that of Minami Masamune.

"You need to speak with more vigor, Gojo. Do you want to improve your voice even if it's like that?"

"Hi!"

Glancing helplessly at the uncle next to him, Yuji continued to cover his face with an umbrella and sat in the wheelchair to increase his sense of mystery.

"Sir, um...what do you look like?"

"The mysterious person who suddenly appeared in Hakodate will definitely attract the attention of the dark mouse..."

[Huh? Why am I talking about mice too? ]

In the hotel, he pressed his face in the mirror to make it look older. The part that bothered Kudo Yuji the most was the corners of his eyes.

The characteristics of the Kudo brothers are exactly opposite. In terms of overall appearance, Kudo Shinichi looks more like his father, and his eyes are like Kudo Yukiko. Kudo Yuji looks more like his mother, but his eyes are like Kudo Yusaku's. The older he gets, the more he gives people a sense of deep sophistication.

After successfully "escaping" from the two girls, Yuji couldn't wait to call Minami Masamune to verify his idea. After getting the confirmation, he spoke sarcastically to the old man for a long time before getting permission to act freely in Hakodate.

Just like now, although there are only more than twenty people on the ground protecting him, the helicopters flying in the sky over Hakodate and the snipers on the distant buildings who always raise their sniper rifles and aim at this side are always paying attention to the surroundings, guarding against possible risks.

"But wasn't it the old man who did the previous attack, sir? The biggest risk should be to the old man, right?"

Wucheng looked at the wheelchair, expressed his opinion, and then looked around carefully.

[These guys probably didn’t record it…]

"The fact that the old man sent so many people to protect me shows that he had foresight. I don't know how many people are lurking under the surface of Hakodate, eyeing the so-called secret treasure."

Kudo Yuji held a wooden box on his lap, shaking the star-edged knife that Minami Masamune gave him before coming to Hokkaido. His eyes were fixed on the five-pointed star pink light of Goryokaku, and he pulled out the fake knife from the wooden box. From the pictures of the five star-edged knives on the Internet, if you put the five knives together, you can see that it looks like a five-pointed star. Although this guess is a bit arbitrary, the five-pointed star mentioned in Hakodate must be Goryokaku, so he brought people to take a look.

A clicking sound was heard in the earphones, and a group of people in black clothes gathered over nervously, and Wucheng also pressed the wheelchair under him.

"Just now, there was a masked man with a knife on his waist hiding in the northeast corner of Goryokaku, changing his posture according to your actions."

The sniper on the building not far away said that he did not hit the man because the other party immediately retreated after seeing the knife pulled out by Kudo Yuji.

"Along Goryokaku, the Axe family, and Mount Hakodate, they are all in a straight line in the northeast corner." Gojo looked at the main buildings on a line from a distance: "That guy is undoubtedly planning to attack us."

"Just one person? Aren't you underestimating us?" A dissatisfied voice came from the man in black.

"Idiot, the fact that he can follow us here already proves that he is a threat."

Wu Cheng interrupted his men with a voice, making sure no one was paying attention until they came out of the hotel.

"It looks like there really is something in Goryokaku, sir." Gojo's dubious look disappeared, and he became reliable, bending down and whispering in Kudo Yuji's ear.

"That guy is keeping an eye on Goryokaku. Whoever brings people here will attract his attention."

Wu Cheng was puzzled: "But why did they retreat?"

We hid the person tightly. If the guy stayed a little longer, he might be able to figure out what the middleman looked like.

“It’s because of this knife.”

Yuji held up Minami Masamune's fake sword: "The old man gave me a fake one. That person is very familiar with the real Star Edge Sword, and he also has surveillance devices on Goryokaku."

"Twenty years ago, all surveillance equipment in Goryokaku was installed by the Fujiang Group."

Wucheng looked toward the northeast.

"The points you mentioned are all in line with the Fujiang family."

"Then go and have a look."

The black umbrella shook for a moment, and Yuji said, "Go meet Fujiang Takuzo." (End of this chapter)
