Conan: Another Famous Detective

"Yes, look, officer." Akira Hanamiya took out his camera and took out the fan-shaped mark photo while continuing to explain;

"You see, this mark was discovered after we picked up the lighter. This area was not wet by the rain. Obviously, there were other things placed there before putting the lighter."

"Does Detective Hanomiya know what this is?" Officer Otaki asked.

"Well... I have some guesses, but I still need to ask the police officer, were there any items found on the deceased?"

"Well, it's all there." Officer Otaki pointed to a piece of flat blue cloth not far away.

There were some items placed on the cloth, and a police officer was holding an umbrella over the cloth to prevent the items on it from getting wet from the rain.

Akira Hagong came over: "Well, wallet, watch, keys. Mobile phone, cigarette, a fragment that seems to be ceramic, um, and this scroll... hmm? What is this scroll?"

"This...I haven't seen it either, let me take a look..." Officer Otaki said and unfolded the scroll.

"Huh? What is this?" Officer Otaki widened his eyes slightly, his face full of confusion.

I saw that a large piece of the scroll had been burned away, with only a small piece in the middle serving as a connection. On the upper right side of the scroll, the word "Dragon" was written.

"What on earth is this? There is only the word "dragon" written on it?" Officer Otaki asked in confusion.

"Eh?" A low cry suddenly came from Yu Gongming's ears.

Yu Gongming immediately turned his head and saw that the faces of the tour group were a little abnormal.

Hanamiya Akira's heart moved, and he was about to go over and ask, but Officer Otaki picked up the ceramic fragment again: "What is this fragment?"

"Could this fragment be the same thing as the fragment on the charred corpse that was burned to death some time ago?" Kazuha came over at some point. Seeing Hattori Heiji looking at her, he continued to explain:

"I remember talking about this matter with my dad when your dad sent us home."

"They said that similar fragments were found on the charred body found on the inner flood channel 13 years ago, and on the body on the outer flood channel."

"And on the fragments they displayed, there were some words... that seemed to be eight hundred and forty-eight."

"Eight hundred and forty-eight? What does that mean?" Hattori Heiji asked confused.

"I'm not sure either!" Heye said a little embarrassed:

"But they said the fragment seemed to be part of the treasure."

"Treasure? What treasure?" Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha with a hint of doubt.

"Hey! What's that look in your eyes? These are the exact words of the two of them!" Kazuha glared at Hattori Heiji:

"They also said that this is the greatest treasure left by the people of the world!"

Hattori Heiji's expression became more and more suspicious: "I'm talking to Kazuha, are you adding fuel to their words?"

"No, maybe what He Ye said is true?" Yu Gongming put on his gloves and picked up the piece of ceramic:

"Look, there is some golden powder stuck to the inside of this piece of ceramic."

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji looked over and immediately showed surprise: "Eh? Is this gold powder?"

"Well, if it is related to gold, and the scroll of unknown meaning, maybe this is a clue pointing to some kind of treasure." Yu Gongming speculated.

"No way? Aren't all the treasures like this a lie?" Hattori Heiji seemed a little disapproving of this speculation.

"No, the point is not whether we believe it or not, but... whether others believe it or not." Yu Gongming said calmly.

Hattori Heiji's eyes narrowed: "You mean, Mr. Kato's death is probably related to this so-called treasure?"

"Yes, maybe the last time he grabbed your umbrella before he died was to remind you of this?" Hanemiya Akira said with a smile.

Hattori Heiji, Officer Otaki and others were all lost in thought.

Hattori Heiji murmured: "If you think of umbrellas, you will think of rain. In Osaka, when it rains, you will think of the Dragon Tiger Stone."

"Dragon Tiger Stone? Are they the two stones on both sides of the Sakura Gate?" Hattori Heiji took them to see it last time, and Hanamiya Akira still had some impressions.

"Yes, you still remember, I told you the legend about the Dragon and Tiger Stone. When it rains, the stone will show a pattern of a dragon and a tiger crouching... huh?"

"Raining?" The three detectives exclaimed at the same time.

"Officer Otaki!" Akira Hanomiya looked at Officer Otaki who was holding the scroll and shouted:

"Can you please put that scroll out in the rain?"

"Huh? Oh, okay." Although Officer Otaki was a little confused, but in view of the deep impression Hanomiya Akira left on him yesterday, he still did as Yumiya Akira said.

Officer Otaki took away his umbrella, exposing the scroll to the rain.

The rain pattered on the scroll and gradually seeped into the scroll.

Mouri Kogoro came over and asked doubtfully: "Hamiya boy, what are you doing? Except for the word "dragon" on it, there is nothing... hmm?"

Mouri Kogoro was only halfway through speaking when something suddenly changed on the scroll.

Centered on that small piece of connection, some vague words gradually appeared on the right, while an arc pattern appeared on the left.

"This...is this?" Officer Otaki opened his mouth slightly with a look of disbelief.

Hattori Heiji suddenly said: "So that's it. After the author completed the content of the scroll, he covered it with several layers of paper. As long as the scroll is wet by rain, the content will appear like a dragon and tiger stone."

"However, the words on the right are too burned to form a complete sentence, and the pattern on the left..." Officer Otaki frowned, recalling things that fit the pattern in his mind.

"This... seems to be a gourd, right?" Xiao Lan, who had been standing next to He Ye, said with some uncertainty.

"If it's a gourd, could it be the horse stick used in Taige's battle?"

"In that case, could the fragment be a gourd-shaped pottery?" Xiaolan guessed.

"Hey! Isn't that gourd filled with gold?" Heye's eyes lit up.

"If that's the case..." Mouri Kogoro glanced at the pattern and hesitated:

"According to this diagram, the gourd is only one foot high, which is about thirty centimeters."

"Such a small gourd, even if it is stuffed with gold nuggets, it's not worth much, right?"

"Have you forgotten?" Hattori Heiji smiled and said:

"Toyotomi Hideyoshi had a habit of adding a gourd to his golden standing horse staff every time he won a battle."

"This is what is called - Thousands of ladles!"

"What? Qiancheng Laonan?" Mouri Kogoro and Officer Otaki were both shocked.

"If that's the case, then a thousand gourds would be a huge treasure!" Mouri Kogoro took a breath.

"If you add its historical value, it can be called a priceless treasure!" Yu Gongming said quietly.
