Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

"This is our home..."

After leading a group of people into the blessed land and passing through many tombstones arranged horizontally and vertically, Takuzo pointed to the small courtyard surrounded by bricks and stones in the innermost part and asked everyone to see the wooden hut inside.

It is said to be a hut, but in fact it only reaches the waist of an average person. Unless Conan is here, no one will regard it as a house.

Takuzo Hatue bowed to the old man wearing a witch costume next to him, and then stood at the door, watching with everyone else as he opened the courtyard door and entered.

"This is our family's custom. Grandfather believes that people lose their desires and greed only after they die, so people who die are nobler than when they are alive."

Takuzo explained: "So in the family's concept, the shrine maiden who serves the gods is a person who is purer than the dead. Most of the things like sweeping dust are taken care of by the shrine enshrined in the family."

As soon as Fue finished speaking, the shrine maiden opened the door of the wooden house, revealing a somewhat dusty interior. Most of the people were looking around, and some were staring at Fue Takuzo. Only Maori Kogoro noticed that Tadayuki Fue's spiritual tablet was special. clean.

"You said the shrine is responsible for sweeping the dust, but obviously all the spiritual tablets in the house are covered in dust."

From the position of the Nishimura police officer, Tadayuki Hatsue's spiritual tablet cannot be seen, but Takuzo Hatsue's grandparents and the ancestors of the previous generation can still see it, and they can all be seen in ashes.

"This is because the Fujiang Group has not enshrined the shrine for a long time."

The voice that suddenly appeared behind everyone made Nakamori Ginzo turn around. Seeing that it was the miko who had just been talking to Aoko, he couldn't help but crane his neck to look in the direction he came from.

"She has already left."

"Huh?" Nakamori Ginzo was still confused. His daughter said it was safer to stay with the police. The next second he realized that the person who pulled his face as soon as he spoke was Kaito, so he snorted with a stinking face.

"What..."

The little miko thought that Nakamori Ginzo's dissatisfaction was directed at her, so she rolled her eyes at him unhappily. She turned around and saw Mouri Kogoro standing next to Hatue Takuzo, frowning and staring at her.

"One or two of them are weird..."

She went back to the front of the shrine.

"So you are an unfilial son, you sold your family property and you didn't even give the money for the management of the family tribute?"

Mouri Kogoro glanced at Axue Takuzo speechlessly, and he didn't even think that this guy would give him a thank you fee. After all, even his dead ancestor had deducted too much.

"What do you know? My grandfather was fine at that time, but since my father started to manage the family, I don't know why he paid more fees than before. By the time he passed away, it was nearly two million yen per month, which is two million yen a year. Fourteen million yen, I still don’t have any money to give them.”

Takuzo Hajie sighed: "If I can find the treasure buried by my grandfather, I won't even withhold the money."

"It's better not to think about the treasure anymore. It's a good thing that you can safely ensure your own safety."

Officer Nishimura interrupted Takuzo Hatue, and the front of the yard became quiet again.

…

"Yuji, you went to that shrine yesterday, right? Didn't you notice anything special?" Kuroba Kaito pointed at Yuji who was stirring the coffee there, forcing the brat to work quickly. He didn't believe that this guy didn't see anything, otherwise he wouldn't have let him go to the shrine with his father.

"That shrine, the stone slabs laid in front of the money box, the pattern really interests me."

"Yeah, I've noticed this too, what else?"

"No more."

The young man waved his hands and took out a small notebook from his arms to draw the slate pattern in his memory.

[Five-pointed star, moon number, full board dots, octagon diagram. ]

"You can tell it's a code at a glance." Hattori Heiji pointed at the picture and said: "The five-pointed star should point to Goryokaku. This is the same as the six swords put together."

After all, the code paper is the second method Keisaburo Hatie left behind to find the treasure. Rediscovering the code word at the shrine at the end of the code is not surprising and can be compared with the first method of the Star Prism Sword.

"The moon sign refers to the moon, which means it's night. The dots painted all over the board are... star maps, maybe, to confirm the place."

Conan continued following Hattori Heiji's reasoning, but the subsequent eight directions were not very clear.

"Then, can you tell me something that I can't deduce?" Kuroba Kaito patted the table, feeling helpless: "The little miko said that there is more to the shrine's secrets than that."

The most important thing is that even if a new code is discovered at the shrine, it may not be directly linked to the treasure of the Fujiang family. Even if it is directly linked, it will be meaningless if the Bafang map cannot be guessed.

"I don't know what dad thinks..."

Kaito's muttering made the three people across from him raise their heads and stare at him in surprise.

"You mean, Mr. Kuroba Toichi already knows the secret of the shrine?"

Yuji narrowed his eyes and glared at Kaito unkindly: "I told you about the shrine because I trust you."

"What? Dad called me before you did." Kuroba Kaito waved his hand: "I didn't say that, the old man must have noticed it, but he just didn't tell us."

The latest chapter of this novel is first released, please go and read it!

"Tch, we can see it too!"

The unconvinced Osaka detective took off his hat and put it on backwards. His expression became a little more serious. His head moved directly above the drawing paper, and his eyes were fixed on the four drawings.

Seeing this, Yuuji took out the menu from the table and pointed at the second side of pasta and said, "Can I order something to eat?"

"Whatever you want." Kuroba Kaito and Conan ignored Kudo Yuuji and looked at Hattori Heiji expectantly, wondering what he would find.

"Excuse me, bacon roasted celery, one classic pasta, one caramel pudding plus bread cube ice cream."

The sound of ordering, especially the sound of Yuuji reading the menu, made the two people staring at Hattori swallow their saliva.

"By the way, no dairy products are added to any of them. Please replace the cold ones with coconut milk, and bake the bread cubes more crispy."

The boy took out a Natsume Soseki from his pocket as a tip and handed it to the waiter. He turned his head and noticed the two brothers who gave up Hattori and came to him.

"...We think it's easier to think when we're full." Conan smiled.

"That's right." Conan flipped the menu seriously, took a look at the price, and said to the waiter: "According to his order, two more, he will pay." "That's right." The magician who could only say "that's right" touched his stomach. "What about Hattori?" Yuji pointed at Hattori Heiji who was staring at the drawing paper and making some comments. "Him? He should not be in the mood to eat now." Conan pushed the Osaka detective: "Hattori, can you hear me?" "Obviously, I can't hear it." Kuroba Kaito nodded to Yuji and smiled. "Hurry up and ask them to serve the food." (End of this chapter)
