Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

The staff member put down the telescope and picked up the phone again.

————Just now, Shiro Suzuki told them to cooperate with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Now Kogoro Mori and Ran Mori are also members of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's action team, so there will be no problem in notifying them that Kudo Shinichi has been found.

Who said that helping Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri find Shinichi Kudo is not helping the members of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?

"Mr. Mori, I just saw Detective Kudo..."

"Huh? Why are you asking me if I'm Kudo Yusaku...? No, no, isn't Kudo Yusaku a novelist? It's Kudo Shinichi, the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, the savior of the Japanese police... Hello?"

Before he could finish his words, the call was disconnected.

The staff member touched the back of his head in confusion.

Forget it, never mind. Kogoro Mouri has his own plans, he just needs to do his own thing.

Chapter 443 Kendo Department Kudo Shinichi

————This person, Fucheng Sheng, seems to be a little abnormal.

This is the thought of Okita Souji, a kendo master from Izumi High School.

The reason was simple. After meeting Fukushiro Yoshie in the morning, Fukushiro Yoshie drew his sword and killed several people in succession. Then he was shot by the man in black. Later, he died at the door of the shrine due to excessive blood loss and serious injuries.

Then Fucheng Sheng just stood there in a daze.

It was originally thought that Fukushiro Sei was too sad because of the death of his father Fukushiro Ryoe. Okita Souji and Onimaru Takeshi, who had originally planned to challenge Fukushiro Sei to a swordsmanship competition, could not bring themselves to say such words. They could only prepare to comfort Fukushiro Sei after calling the police.

However, what they didn't expect was that Fucheng Sheng actually told them that he had something to do and asked them to handle the follow-up.

Afterwards, Fucheng Sheng got on his black motorcycle and drove away at lightning speed with the box of repair parts that had most of them missing. No one knew where he went.

Even though Okita Souji and Onimaru Takeshi were strong enough to stop the black motorcycle the moment it started moving, they didn't realize that Fukushiro Seikai had played this trick and could only watch the black motorcycle go away.

Would a normal person's first reaction after their father dies be to let a stranger they have only met a few times handle the follow-up matters, and then go about dealing with their own affairs?

Shouldn't the normal situation be that she would cry loudly, and then they would comfort her a few words, and then wait for the police to come and take a statement together?

What does it mean to just turn around and run without saying anything? Those who know that Fukushiro Sei was just caught up in a shooting incident, while those who don't know would think that Fukushiro Sei shot and killed Fukushiro Ryoe and then fled the scene!

There was no way out. Souji Okita and Takeshi Onimaru's moral bottom line did not allow them to leave behind the dead Fukushiro Yoshie.

They had no choice but to wait here for the police to come, and then follow the police to the Hakodate Police Headquarters to take statements and handle subsequent matters. As a result, the Hakodate Police Headquarters happened to be seriously short of police force.

In the end, it took a whole day of delay until they were allowed to leave the Hakodate Police Headquarters in the evening.

Originally, Souji Okita and Takeshi Onimaru had planned to wait until things were settled before finding Fukushiro Sei to have a good talk about this matter, but it was already this late, so there was no point in talking about it. They might as well just find a place to check in and talk about it tomorrow.

"Really? Why did it turn out like this?"

Even with the good manners of Okita Souji, he couldn't help but mutter at this moment.

Guiwan Meng, who was walking next to him, nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Although such murders can be seen everywhere, they were usually not involved in the past. As a result, so much time has been wasted now. If they had used it to practice sword skills, maybe they could have gained some new insights.

————When I meet Fucheng Sheng, after I have dealt with Fucheng Liangwei’s funeral, I must have a good fight with Fucheng Sheng!

This trip to Hakodate couldn't be in vain. I could run into Fukushiro Sei today, so I'm sure I'll run into him tomorrow. It's impossible for this guy to completely disappear after tonight and never be found again, right?

That's too outrageous. After all, Fucheng Sheng is a local kendo celebrity and it's unlikely that he would run away.

"...Strange, why are the streets empty?"

While searching for a hotel or inn, Onimaru glanced around and frowned. He noticed something was wrong and asked,

"Although Hakodate is relatively backward compared to Kyoto or Tokyo, it is still a modern city. It is impossible for it to be empty at night. Could it be that something happened in Hakodate that we don't know about?"

Speaking of this, Okita Souji was also surprised.

After they arrived in Hakodate, they just landed at Hakodate Airport and found that there seemed to be some problems with the airport runway. Some places were cordoned off with cordons. Then there were men in black openly killing people with guns, and the Hakodate police were short of manpower.

How should I put it? There's a feeling that a storm is about to come.

The streets of Hakodate are still empty now. It is hard to imagine what kind of outrageous situation has happened here that would make the citizens of Hakodate choose to go home when the nightlife comes.

"It would be great if my phone could connect to the internet, so I could check the local news."

Okita Souji whispered.

He touched the flip phone in his pocket and remembered the news that a new type of mobile phone was about to be launched. He was wondering whether he should use his connections to get a mobile phone that could connect to the Internet in advance.

Exclamations were already heard.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding? It's really Kudo-chan!"

————Why does everyone call me Kudo Shinichi after I came to Hakodate?

Shinichi Kudo, a kendo-style athlete carrying a kendo bag, raised his head and stared at Kogoro Mori and Ran Mori who appeared not far away. Onimaru Takeshi next to him realized that trouble was approaching, and subconsciously took a step back, protecting Souji Okita in front of him.

The main reason is that this kind of situation usually targets Okita Souji, and it is quite troublesome.

He had encountered enough troubles today and wasted a lot of time on them, so it would be better for him to stand aside and watch them finish the job. It would be a complete waste of his time to intervene.

"I'm not Kudo Shinichi."

Okita Souji looked at the confused middle-aged detective and the pretty girl next to him who should be a high school student, and said helplessly,

"I know Kudo Shinichi is a very famous detective, but I don't think I look that much like Kudo Shinichi, right? In short, I'm not Kudo Shinichi, I'm Okita Souji."

It's not Kudo Shinichi, it's Okita Souji? Who is Okita Souji?

Maori Kogoro blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. His amazing wisdom instantly found the truth of everything. He stretched out his hand to stop Maori Ran next to him, pointed at Okita Souji, and asked,

"I knew it, Kudo-chan, you must have done something shameful while you were away!"

"Look, you've even used a pseudonym! And now you're trying to use it even when you see us! Do you think that with my intelligence, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, I wouldn't know that Okita Souji is the name of a historical figure?"

"Hoho kid, in order to get away with it, you even went so far as to attribute the name of a historical figure to yourself?"

————Right, right?

Ran Mouri and Takeshi Onimaru subconsciously looked at Souji Okita.

Although they knew that Kogoro Mori was most likely talking nonsense, it seemed to make sense. How could a normal person's name be Okita Souji?

Besides, there is a clear record in history that Okita Souji had no descendants, so where did the sixth generation of Okita Souji come from?

Okita Souji:?

Chapter 444 The Real Kudo Shinichi

"Kudo, are you sure it's okay to follow your idea? Is the Axe River Secret Treasure really in this area?"

"We don't even have the legendary sword used to solve the Axe River Treasure puzzle. I think it's more reliable to act according to my previous plan, don't you think?"

Hattori Heiji followed behind the Shinigami Elementary School student.

He paid attention to the situation nearby, and did not forget to instill a wave of verbal and mental damage to Conan, causing Conan's eyebrows to twitch constantly, as if he was about to transform into a football man and kick Hattori Heiji away with a flying ball.

However, thinking about what kind of person Hattori Heiji was, Conan suppressed this thought.

He held a flashlight in one hand, shining it in the direction ahead, and held a mobile phone in the other hand. He looked at the information displayed on the phone and searched for the specific location of the Fujiang secret treasure according to his previous inference.

————Although Conan has never seen the legendary Star-Edged Sword and Five Swords.

However, his father Kudo Yusaku had seen it. Not only had Kudo Yusaku seen it, he even had unique insights into how to solve the mystery of the legendary Axe Secret Treasure.

With the help of Kudo Yusaku, Conan was able to quickly solve the mystery of the Axe Secret Treasure with the help of the city map of Hakodate City, and further began to look for the specific location of the Axe Secret Treasure.

Of course, because he didn't have the Star Edge Knife as the center for direction calibration, he couldn't accurately determine the location of the Axe River Secret Treasure.

Otherwise, with Conan and Hattori Heiji's efficiency, they would have found the Axe secret treasure long ago and started thinking about how to get rid of the source of all evil in Hakodate City and bring everything that happened here to a safe and proper end.

"By the way, your father is the famous mystery novelist Kudo Yusaku, right?"

"I've read his recently released mystery novel called 'Dark Night Baron', but I think the protagonist's abilities aren't as good as yours, Kudo, and your abilities aren't as good as mine—"

"Well, after all, they're Hattori from Kansai and Kudo from Kanto."

It's clearly Kudo from Kanto and Hattori from Kansai.

The Death God Elementary School Student pushed his plain glasses, revealing a dead fish eye look.

He didn't know why Hattori Heiji always liked to say this sentence backwards. Was this behavior really meaningful? It was just self-deception, like covering one's ears and stealing the bell. Even if he said it ten thousand times, it wouldn't really change the actual order.

Kudo Yusaku's message popped up again.

Conan pressed the reading button while searching for the location of the Axe River's secret treasure.

This is a speculative map of the location of the Axe Secret Treasure that Kudo Yusaku further judged based on the information he collected from Conan's actual experience here. However, this makes Conan a little confused.

He didn't know how Kudo Yusaku managed to do this.

Logically speaking, Kudo Yusaku has not been in Hakodate for long, and now he is already in the suburbs of Hakodate, far away from the city. It is impossible for Kudo Yusaku to know the situation in the suburbs so clearly.

How did he manage to determine their exact location just by getting some descriptive information from Conan?

Conan couldn't figure out how Kudo Yusaku did it, and in the end he could only conclude with self-doubt that his reasoning ability might still be a certain distance away from Kudo Yusaku's level.

But in reality, Kudo Yusaku himself couldn't do it either——

Of course he can't do it.

Kudo Yusaku only learned about the legend of the Axe secret treasure later. He had never investigated this matter in Hakodate and was more concerned about the mysterious samurai sword murder case.

He had no idea about the legend of the Axe River Treasure, so naturally he had no way to guide Conan forward.

The person who is truly familiar with the legend of the Axe River Treasure, who can deduce its location and correct the position of the detective duo in real time is actually Kuroba Toichi, the first generation Kaito Kid.

Except for Hei Yu Dao Yi, who had already found the location of the Fu Jiang secret treasure but gave up at the last minute and went to the actual location to look for the Fu Jiang secret treasure, it is naturally impossible for other people to do such a thing.

"This is... Yusaku, are you exchanging messages with that mysterious magician again?"

Yukiko Kudo yawned, moved a chair, leaned back tiredly, and looked at Yusaku Kudo who was using two mobile phones at the same time and acting as a transit station for collecting information.

However, although I think what Kudo Yusaku did is unreliable, there is no better way now.

The reason is simple. If Shinichi knew that the magician Crow who had helped him deal with Kaito Kid knew the location of the Axe Secret Treasure, he would immediately think of the rumor that Kaito Kid had come to Hakodate to look for the Axe Secret Treasure.

Afterwards, he is very likely to directly identify the true identity of the magician Crow as Kaito Kid.

At that time, Shinichi's cheap uncle might be walking on a street in Hakodate and be hit by a football from the Super Soccer Man, and then transferred to the Hakodate Police Headquarters or the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for detention.

In order to avoid such a tragedy, it is necessary to maintain some mystery about the magician Crow.
