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

If he hadn't followed Okita Souji's line of sight and noticed the figure, he probably wouldn't have realized that there was someone lurking in the shadows of the alley!

"It seems like you are the urban legend, right?"

Okita Souji's hand grasped the handle of the wooden sword behind him.

The spirit that was a little sleepy at first perked up again at this moment. For a moment, all his energy was turned on. He looked at the figure in the shadow and said without hesitation,

"Senior Kyogoku told me that if you come to Hakodate this time and leave without giving it a try, it would be a shame..."

"I want to try and see what that powerful urban legend that Kyogoku-senpai said is really like!"

Snap————

With the sound of a lighter clicking, a spark ignited and lit the cigarette.

The urban legend in the shadow raised his head, looked at Okita Souji, and said,

“I don’t have a lot of time.”

"What are you waiting for?"

Chapter 481 The Cocoon Game is about to begin

"People from the Hong Kong Police Department are actually still organizing rescue efforts...?"

"It's already been all night, right? Why are people still on the shore? If there are still survivors inside, even if they were alive before, they should have died after being dragged away by them all night, right?"

At the port of Hakodate, Kuroba Kaito, who was mixed in the crowd, couldn't help but complain as he saw the police officers from the Port Police Department had set up a blockade and mobilized various equipment but none of them moved.

Although I know that these rescue efforts are slow, it can't be this slow, right?

"Kaito, this isn't your first day living in the country, can't you understand this?"

Next to Kuroba Kaito was Kuroba Toichi, who had changed his clothes.

After the daybreak in Hakodate, everything had been resolved, even the so-called Axe secret treasure left by the first generation head of the Axe zaibatsu that Kuroba Toichi had been worried about had been solved.

Before dawn, Kuroba Toichi and Kuroba Kaito teamed up to solve the mystery about the Axe treasure.

However, at the location of the Axe River Secret Treasure, they only saw a collapsed mountain, a blockade, members of the Japanese-based Mold team who were organizing a search, and special investigators from the FBI and CIA.

————The Fujiang secret treasure is now buried deep under the mountain and will never see the light of day again.

It was for this reason that, after confirming the situation of the Axe Secret Treasure, Kuroba Toichi brought Kuroba Kaito to the Hakodate Port to ambush the sniper of the mysterious organization to see if there was any chance to capture him and send him to the transfer station.

However, until now, the code killer of the mysterious organization has not appeared.

Maybe he really died in the death merchant's suicide?

"Dad, where are you going next?"

As always, Kuroba Kaito addressed Kuroba Toichi, who had faked his death and had not contacted him for many years, in a disrespectful manner.

However, this was within the expectations of Hei Yu Daoyi.

He was silent for a moment as he watched the sun gradually rise higher in the sky. Then he replied,

"I still have to go back to the other countries and continue investigating with your mother."

"Kaito, I'll leave it to you to carry on the title of Kaito Kidd."

The first generation Kaito Kidd said so.

After hearing this, Kuroba Kaito sighed and shook his head slightly.

Although he initially acted out of revenge for his father who was killed by a mysterious organization, now that his father is still alive, he has no reason to wear the Kaito Kidd uniform again. However, since his father has instructed him to do so, he still——

He suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Before coming to Hakodate, his classmate and good friend Koizumi Akako once told him a somewhat scary prophecy.

It is said that crows are circling above the city of Hakodate, and if you are not careful you will become the crows' target and become their meal. Could this crow be referring to his father's new code name, Kaito Crow?

“…That’s really unreliable.”

"I also need to buy a new phone. Tsk, how am I going to explain to Aoko why I came back so late... I guess she won't suspect I'm Kaito Kid anymore..."

Kuroba Kaito muttered softly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of wind blowing in his ears. He subconsciously turned his head to look beside him, but saw that the Black Feathered Bandit next to him had disappeared into the crowd without a trace.

He has become accustomed to the mysterious appearances of Kaito Kidd, a legacy of his ancestors.

I just yawned briefly and walked towards the train station.

There are currently no flights departing from Hakodate Airport, and the port is still blocked, so the only option is to take a train back to Tokyo. The Hokutosei 6, which is said to be a luxury train, is a good choice, and you can even catch up on some sleep on the train.

Just as Kuroba Kaito disappeared into the crowd like an ordinary wandering student.

In the chairman's office of the Suzuki Group in Tokyo, the atmosphere became a little strange.

Shiro Suzuki, chairman of the Suzuki Group, sat behind his desk with his chin supported by his hands, seemingly thinking, while his wife Tomoko Suzuki leaned against the wall next to her, seemingly talking to someone on the phone.

On the other side, Suzuki Jirokichi was flipping through the collection of faxed reports in his hand, feeling a little overwhelmed.

How should I put it? The effect of this public opinion war is good, but a little too good.

In other words, bullying the dead is not allowed to speak, otherwise the celebrities in Hakodate would probably start to fight back at this time. However, although the effect of such public opinion is good, it gives him an inexplicable feeling——

That is, it is suspected that the Suzuki Group has suffered a certain degree of decline in the eyes of high-level celebrities.

They themselves knew that the Suzuki Group had already arranged the public opinion offensive last night, and it just happened to be broadcast together with the emergency news this morning, but others did not know.

Those people probably thought that the Suzuki Group was in trouble because Suzuki Sonoko was in danger in Hakodate and the celebrities here handled it improperly.

Therefore, the Suzuki Group released a lot of negative information to bully the dead people the moment they learned about the sudden deaths of these celebrities and senior executives, resulting in few people coming to see them off at their memorial services. How could their reputation not decline?

"...Dear, can we consider entering Hokkaido and filling the vacancy left by the Axe Zaibatsu?"

Just as Suzuki Jirokichi was looking through the faxed reports and thinking about the reactions of celebrities from other cities, Suzuki Tomoko's voice suddenly rang out, attracting Suzuki Jirokichi's attention.

The person who actually holds the power in the Suzuki Group had hung up the phone at some point, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said bluntly,

"Since they think our Suzuki Group is petty and vindictive, and they've deployed a large number of manpower in various locations, able to quickly gather a large amount of negative information to wage a public opinion war, then we'd be at a disadvantage if we don't take advantage of it."

"Now we can expand our influence in Hokkaido without any obstacles, and at the same time we can ensure the absolute safety of the garden."

"I think that's a pretty appropriate approach at this point."

————Although this was not their original purpose, this is also acceptable.

No matter what the process was, the ultimate goal of making others afraid to touch Suzuki Sonoko was achieved, and they all said that the Suzuki Group had forces secretly ambushing in various places, so wouldn’t it be a disadvantage if they didn’t [turn from secret to open] now?

As the saying goes, when someone tells you you have a gun, you better actually have one.

The Suzuki Group only needs to set up a few local branches in Hokkaido, and the public opinion of celebrities and senior officials in other cities will naturally disappear - if they don't want others to dance on their graves and say good things about their deaths after they die.

"Just do it."

Shiro Suzuki leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"I'm glad Sonoko is okay. I heard that Cocoon Games is about to start a public demo test. Give Sonoko a ticket to the Dragon Palace and let her take some people there to relax."

Chapter 482 Vodka, you be the ace!

"What did you say? Binga is gone?"

In a Black Organization outpost in another city quite close to Hakodate, the voice of Rum, the second-in-command of the organization, echoed with a hint of anger within the room.

At this moment, he was using his laptop to connect with Vodka in the room and the other two surviving Codename members.

Although Rum's figure was mostly hidden in the shadows in the image, and his specific appearance could not be seen, just by looking at his hands tightly holding the wine glass, as if it would break at any moment, one could get a glimpse of his anger.

————Rum was of course angry.

He had no reason not to be angry.

The Black Organization Action Team is an important part of the Black Organization. The former ace Gin is a die-hard fan of that adult. He has never made a mistake over the years and is conscientious and irreplaceable.

After Gin finally died, the adult was willing to give up the leadership of the action team.

As a result, he just chose his trusted confidant Binga to take the position, but Binga got himself into trouble on his first mission and caused such a big commotion in Hakodate City that the organization's prominent figures in various places began to become suspicious!

————The reason is simple. The murderer announced by the Hakodate Police Headquarters is a member of a criminal organization.

Combined with the news that the new ace of the Black Organization's action team died in Hakodate, everyone knows that the person who did it is a member of the Black Organization. The Black Organization even killed the chief of the Hakodate Police Headquarters and the chairman of the Axe Zaibatsu, Takumi Axe, openly. Would they still care about these open figures who work for the Black Organization and whose identities are mostly inferior to these two?

Even a fool would know that the Black Organization is quite good at killing people after they have done their job, so we have to be on guard!

Within the Black Organization, all the troubles caused by Binga can only be handled by Rum, the second-in-command of the organization who promoted Binga to become the ace of the action team.

It can be said that when hearing this news, even Rum's face was almost twisted with anger.

"Binga is dead, how did you three come back alive???"

He looked at Vodka and the other two codenamed members on the other side of the laptop screen, and his tone became increasingly hostile.

————In fact, the observer and sniper were able to survive entirely because of luck.

Because they were both physically hypnotized by the Super Football Man, but because they went to bed early enough, they were both taken into the car and taken away together when Vodka ran away.

If they had fainted a little later and met Binga and the commandos in the arrival hall, it would be hard to say whether they would be alive today.

However, the same cannot be said for observers and attackers.

They looked at each other, their eyes on each other's noses and their noses on each other's hearts, and remained silent at the same time. The tacit understanding as old partners made them take a step back and protect their savior Vodka in front of them.

Vodka, who was standing among the three people, was already quite conspicuous, and now he looked even more conspicuous.

He glanced to the sides and saw that his teammates had sold him out. He couldn't help but secretly complain about his teammates, but finally raised his head and looked at the video call screen on the laptop, and said seriously,

"It's not that we didn't work hard, it's just that Yan Shuangying is too terrifying!"

"Binga and his assault team fought Yan Shuangying for less than a minute before they were all down. The observer and sniper died even faster than Binga and the assault team. I had no choice but to evacuate with the observer and sniper closest to the car."

"If I had been even slightly slower in evacuating, you wouldn't have seen a single living person!"

Hearing this, Rum's blood pressure suddenly rose.

So if you abandon your teammates and run away, should I still say you are a good runner?

Just when rum was about to go all out and question vodka's professionalism, he raised his finger.

He suddenly realized that something was wrong. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked,
