Ke Xue: I have a knife, and you still dare to fight me?

So he immediately greeted them.

"Conan, over here."

This call interrupted Conan's deep thoughts. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Kurokawa Saki waving at them.

"Kurokawa-nii, what are you doing here?"

Conan then asked again in his cute but irritating childlike voice.

Kurokawasaki gave him a strange look. "Did I come to the restaurant not to eat, but to fight monsters?"

Conan choked for a moment.

At that moment, Ayumi excitedly ran up to Kurokawasaki Tsuki and said, "It's the big brother from Tropical Paradise!"

While speaking, she stared intently at him with her big eyes.

Genta and Mitsuhiko also recognized him.

"Oh, it's you guys. I didn't expect you to be Conan's friends." Kurokawa Saki Tsuki smiled at the group. "In that case, let me treat you to dinner today."

Conan wanted to be polite, but Genta, upon hearing the words "treat me," immediately jumped up with joy and ran to the counter to order. Mitsuhiko and Ayumi followed closely behind after thanking Kurokawasaki Tsuki.

Seeing this, Conan swallowed his words, gave an awkward laugh, and joined the ordering line.

They returned shortly afterward with their food.

After thanking Kurokawasaki Tsuki again, they all said "Let's eat!" and began to feast.

Conan was surprised that Ayumi and the others knew each other.

Only Conan, after taking a couple of bites, started taking out paper and pen and frantically writing something on it, filling up a whole page in no time.

"Little Conan, it's mealtime now. If you don't eat properly, you won't grow tall."

Kurokawasaki Yue glanced at him and said indifferently.

Conan then remembered that Kurokawa Saki was still there.

"Conan, have you solved it yet?"

Genta and Mitsuhiko went over.

Ayumi excitedly explained to Kurokawasaki Tsuki, "We unexpectedly obtained a treasure map and are now searching for the treasure!"

"Treasure?"

"Hmm!" Ayumi snatched a piece of paper from Conan's hand and handed it to him. "Big brother, look! If we can decipher this treasure map, we can find the golden treasure!"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki took the note, which had some simple drawings on it, such as a moon, an umbrella, and a triangle.

One of the rectangles was also marked with an arrow that read "ORO".

What does it mean?

Kurokawasaki Tsuki stroked his chin.

Conan was also staring at him at that moment.

With Kurokawa's deductive reasoning skills, he should be able to decipher the code quickly.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki thought hard for a moment, but couldn't remember...

What kind of case is this?

Never mind, let's use our brains a little.

The Sharingan granted him the ability to copy, and when used for reading and studying, he had an unparalleled photographic memory. Therefore, Kurokawa Saki had always been portrayed as a top student.

ORO? That looks familiar. Gold? It does mean gold in Italian, right?

Then the very top one looks a bit like Tokyo Tower, followed by the moon...

He quickly came up with an idea.

"I think this should be Tokyo Tower. As for the moon next to it, I think it refers to looking for the patterns below at night. As for why at night, perhaps these patterns need to be observed in the dark."

As Kurokawa Saki Tsuki pointed to the note, she explained to them that the sun had already set outside, leaving only a few rays of afterglow.

The neon lights on the billboard also lit up, which he could see through the window, so he pointed to the billboard outside.

"Perhaps starting with the simplest neon signs is a good choice. The last one, ORO, means gold in Italian. Start from Tokyo Tower at night and follow the fish pattern to the end, and you'll find the gold."

He waved the small piece of paper in his hand.

Kurokawa Saki's words exploded in Conan's mind: Night? Neon sign?

"So that's it!"

Genta and the other two looked like they suddenly understood, and Conan snatched the note from his hand.

"I understand, thank you Kurokawa-nii!"

Yuan Tai waved his hand and said, "The Junior Detective Club, let's go!"

Then the group rushed out of the restaurant.

"..."

"Young people are just impulsive and don't know how to behave."

Kurokawasaki Tsuki picked up his cola, took a sip, and commented.

Then he felt three malicious gazes.

"?"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki narrowed his eyes, still quickly locking onto his target.

After discovering the direction the group of reckless teenagers had just left, they spotted three suspicious men in black. They didn't look like good people, but they were definitely not from the brewery, since they were too unprofessional.

Those gazes just now were theirs.

Kurokawa Saki stroked his chin, then finished the last bite of his food, took a sip of cola, and went out, following behind the three men in black.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Teaching You How to Dodge Bullets

By the time Conan and his friends reached Tokyo Tower, it was completely dark.

The neon lights were particularly eye-catching in the night.

"This is it!"

"Next up is this!"

"Wow! It really matches the code!"

The juvenile detectives raced through the streets, quickly deciphering the codes one by one.

They received the final coded message.

It is a fish-shaped pattern.

Yuan Tai believed that this must be referring to the nearby river, so he personally went into the water to retrieve it.

Conan revealed his crescent-shaped eyes and then began to think.

A glowing fish?

He carefully examined the sharply defined fish pattern on the note, then glanced at the steel bridge over the river out of the corner of his eye.

A brilliant idea immediately flashed into my mind.

"Hahaha, finally found it, the glowing fish."

Then he ran into the building indicated by the second-to-last cipher. Ayumi and the others looked at him strangely and followed him.

The group ran up to the top floor of the building.

Yuan Tai looked around in confusion.

"Conan, are there really glowing fish in places like this?"

"Try looking at the river over there from here, and you'll see the glowing fish."

Upon hearing this, the three looked outside and also spotted the glowing fish that Conan had mentioned.

"Ah! The bridge lights are reflected on the water and form the shape of a fish!"

Genta exclaimed.

Conan watched as the bridge in the distance slowly receded until the streetlights coincided with the bridge, and the light from the streetlights turned into the eyes of a fish.

"right here!"

He found a gold coin on the ground, and when he looked up, he saw several large bags hanging from the ceiling.

Conan shook the rope tied to one end, which was connected to several large bags of gold coins hanging from the ceiling.

With this shake, several gold coins clattered to the ground.

Wow! This is a real treasure trove! We're rich!

Genta began to fantasize about an endless supply of eel rice, while Ayumi and Mitsuhiko looked at the glittering gold coins, their excitement evident.

However, before the group could celebrate for long, three men in black emerged from the shadows and picked up the gold coins from the ground.

"You kids have really worked hard."

"Who are you uncles? Give me back my treasure! This is the treasure we found!"

Yuan Tai grabbed the man in black's arm and tugged at his clothes.

The next second, Yuan Tai had several large bumps on his head.

"hateful."

Another man in black gave a sinister smile and pulled out a pistol from his pocket.

"There's a gun!" Conan's pupils contracted.

"Tell me, where are you hiding the gold coins?"

The man in black pointed a gun at Conan's head.

Yuan Tai and the others stared in horror at the gun in the man in black's hand, their faces turning deathly pale.

"Are you part of that Italian bandit gang?"

"Hehe, that's right!"

Faced with Conan's question, the man in black readily admitted it and told him the whole story. Simply put, the gold coins they had worked so hard to steal had all been embezzled by their leader, which was why they came to Japan to retrieve them.

While telling the story, he didn't forget to tie up the group of teenagers who were courting death.

"Alright, now that you've heard the story, tell me where all the gold coins are hidden?"

Conan tried to remain calm, his mind racing as he searched for a solution.

The situation remains deadlocked.

Suddenly, footsteps on the stairs broke the silence.

The man in black with the gun turned to look at his two accomplices behind him. The accomplices understood and positioned themselves on the left and right sides of the stairwell. The man in black with the gun also kept a watchful eye on the stairwell.

Conan also looked nervously towards the stairwell.

Damn it, who could it be? It's dangerous here, get out of here!

The footsteps were steady and unhurried, each one striking a chord in everyone's hearts.

The footsteps grew closer, and by the scattered moonlight, Conan could make out who it was.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki! What's he doing here? But he didn't have time to think about it.

"Kurokawa-san, get out of here! They have guns!"

Conan shouted with all his might, his voice filled with anxiety and worry, echoing in the empty top floor.

The two men in black at the door moved and pounced on Kurokawa Saki.

He parried one of the men in black with his hands and swiftly dodged the attack of another.

With a powerful kick followed by a knee strike, the man in black was sent flying backward.

Another man in black realized that the person in front of him was not a good guy, so he pulled out a knife from his pocket and swung it at Kurokawa Sakizuki.
