Stay away from Conan

"So now, what are your plans?"

And just as Conan, Ran and Sonoko were heading to Hakodate, on the other side, Takato, who was also ready to leave, was talking to Kuroba Kaito and asked him about his next plan.

In this regard, Kuroba Kaito didn't have any particularly subtle ideas, he just said:

"It's very simple. Since the target is now clearly locked on Dongkubo Eiryu's knife, then naturally we have to find a way to get the knife."

In this way, after hearing this, Kuroba Kaito didn't need to say anything. Takato already knew that he was probably going to take action as "Phantom Thief Kidd".

From this, seeing that Kuroba Kaito was already preparing to do this, Gao Yuan had nothing to say and just reminded:

"This time, both Conan and Hattori will be in Hakodate. You can only get two knives with this action. I'm afraid it won't end that easily."

After all, if the goal is clear, normally, as long as one action is completed, the target item can be obtained. However, this time the knife of Dongkua Eiryu is just a primer, and the real purpose is to find the treasure hidden behind it, so Things won't end so quickly, not to mention that even the target's sword is not complete yet. Therefore, it is foreseeable that after "Kaitou Kidd" takes his first action, Conan and Hattori Heiji, who are also in Hakodate, will follow up at any time. Track it down, maybe they will be the first to find the treasure in the end.

In this way, Gao Yuan was thinking like this, and he had a premonition that the matter this time would not be so easy to solve, and that he would still be sandwiched between Conan, Hattori and Kaitou Kidd. This time it would not be like "The Magician of the End of the Century" That time, I had the same memory reference about the original work, and could arrange everything in advance. Maybe this time I might reveal the secret——

"In the end, when I have to, I may have no choice but to go against you, so be mentally prepared."

After thinking about it again and again, Gao Yuan felt that he had to say this first. After all, he didn't want others to find out that he had a special connection with Kaitou Kidd. It would be very troublesome, so what happened later? In this situation, I can only act according to common sense as a detective. This must be made clear to Kuroba Kaito in advance.

"no problem."

Regarding Takato's reaction, Kuroba Kaito replied naturally, seeming to think that this was a matter of course——

After all, this time, as long as we can finally find clues about his father, and perhaps be able to confirm the accuracy of Gao Yuan's news that "his father may not be dead", then everything will be worth it...

In this way, Kuroba Kaito, who was thinking this way, finished talking to Gao Yuan and made contact.

In this regard, after receiving such a statement from Kuroba Kaito, Gao Yuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, thinking that this matter would not be easy to handle after all, so he could only take one step at a time...

…

"Huh? Kaitou Kidd...he is eyeing the two knives in the collection sold by the Ax River Consortium this time?"

As Conan and others arrived in Hakodate City, after agreeing on a meeting place with Hattori Heiji and the others, Sonoko first went to meet with the Hatsue Foundation to discuss related matters, and the collections that had been purchased by the Suzuki Foundation at a fixed price were being transferred. When doing an inventory and inspection recently, the Ax River Consortium unexpectedly received a warning letter from Kaitou Kidd.

Naturally, Sonoko informed Conan and Xiaolan about this matter, and then naturally, Hattori Heiji and Kazuha also knew about it.

In this regard, it seemed that Kazuha heard the name of this phantom thief again not too long ago, and Kazuha couldn't help but express such surprise.

Regarding this point, Xiaolan expressed some doubts about this matter:

"Speaking of which, isn't Kaitou Kidd a jewel thief? Why are you targeting two katana swords this time?"

"Could it be that the knife is inlaid with gems?"

Hattori Heiji was also very interested in the Kaitou Kidd thing and couldn't help but ask.

"On this point, Sister Yuanzi has personally gone to see it, and there is no such thing."

Conan quickly gave an explanation, confirming that this conjecture was not valid.

From this, Hattori Heiji seemed a little confused, but then he thought about it and said:

"But then again, what happened with the 'Memory Easter Egg' last time, wasn't there no gems on the 'Memory Easter Egg'? Maybe Kaitou Kidd is a thief who will attack as long as it is a valuable collection! In short, , Now is not the time to think about this. Since the thief is about to take action, let's go over quickly and see if we can help! "

Saying this, Hattori Heiji seemed very interested, and then when even Conan no longer understood why Hattori Heiji was so interested, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but said:

"Last time he pretended to be me and acted with you. This time I will make him pay the price!"

This seems to be because in the previous "Memory Easter Egg" incident, Kaitou Kidd pretended to be Hattori Heiji and got on the Suzuki Consortium's cruise ship back to Tokyo. Hattori Heiji has always been worried about it, so he saw that the other party just happened to catch up to Hakodate. Come on, it collided with his own kendo competition. In this case, Hattori Heiji obviously didn't want to let go of this opportunity that might make Kaitou Kidd pay the price.

Therefore, looking at this scene, Conan couldn't help but smile, and then, naturally, Kazuha and Hattori Heiji, who had originally met in Hakodate and planned to go shopping here, followed Xiaoran. I went to the Ax River Consortium with Conan and met with Sonoko——

"Oh, you're here!"

Soon, they arrived at the Hakodate Consortium's villa on the outskirts of Hakodate. After being inspected by the guards, Conan, Hattori Heiji and others entered a warehouse in the villa. Here everyone saw that they had been there for a long time. This garden of waiting.

"Garden."

Seeing this, Kazuha and Xiaolan said hello to Sonoko first, while Conan and Hattori Heiji made a simple observation of the warehouse——

Here is the warehouse where all the Hijikata Toszo collections collected by the Hatsue Foundation for the first head of the family, Keisaburo Hatsue, are stored. In addition to a large door, the entire warehouse only has a few small windows on the wall. It's separated by a fence, which means that if you want to enter this warehouse, you can only go through the main entrance.

As for the main entrance, it is guarded by a very sophisticated security door similar to a bank vault. Just opening this door makes a lot of noise, and with the appearance of the Phantom Thief Kidd warning letter, Nakamori Ginzo, who specializes in dealing with Phantom Thief Kidd, Police officers have also been on duty here with the Metropolitan Police Department's security force.

This alone is still fresh in the memory of Conan and others who just came in from the villa and underwent various inspections. It seems that the security work here is flawless...

But, can this really prevent Kaitou Kidd?
