Stay away from Conan

Kuagaki Sumito, everyone is aware of this name, and this is all thanks to Conan and Hattori Heiji——

After all, the two of them heard this name accidentally.

Just last night, while guarding against Kaito Kidd in the villa of the Hatsue Consortium, Conan and Hattori Heiji accidentally overheard the content of the phone call made by Hatsue Takuzo. It was from that phone call that Conan and the others learned There seems to be a problem with the short swords, and there seems to be more short swords related to Tokubo Eiryu than the two ones hidden by the Hatsue Foundation. Therefore, the name Kugaki Sumito seems to be known to Hatsue Takuzo, and it is related to other short swords. person.

So, seeing the situation like this, the name that they had only heard accidentally last night seemed to be the deceased here. This made Gao Yuan and others realize that this matter was probably related to Kaitou Kidd's interest in Tokubo Eiryu's short sword. The matter was related, so they went straight to the point. Gao Yuan and others shouted to the policemen who were on the cordon over there:

"We know Kuagaki Sumito!"

Just like that, as soon as these words came out, sure enough, all the policemen present looked towards Gao Yuan and the others. Then the policeman in charge at the scene took the initiative to come over after learning about the situation and looked at the policeman who came to provide clues. Gao Yuan et al.

I saw that the middle-aged man who was tall and thin, with a crew cut and a sparse beard, who seemed to be the leader of the police at the scene, came towards Gao Yuan and asked:

"Are you the one who said you know the identity of the deceased?"

As he said this, the middle-aged policeman looked around at Gao Yuan and others, and noticed that Hattori Heiji couldn't help but add:

"Kansai high school detective..."

Then, he looked at Gao Yuan again:

"Huh? Are you... wise and lofty?"

Somewhat unexpectedly, as the policeman asked his name, Gao Yuan couldn't help but responded with a slight surprise:

"It's... police officer, do you know me?"

In response, the middle-aged police officer replied with an indifferent expression:

"I am Police Nishimura from the Investigation Section 1 of the Criminal Division of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters. I have some knowledge of your previous involvement in the Mitsubishi Consortium. Since you, the detective, seem to know something, then... come with me."

In this way, the police department named Nishimura seemed to trust Gao Yuan, and actually let Gao Yuan enter the cordon.

Seeing this, Conan and Hattori Heiji both glanced at Takato in surprise, and then looked at each other. After seeing Takato enter the cordon, the two of them followed suit.

In this regard, the Nishimura Police Department took a careful look, but did not stop it. It seemed that they acquiesced in the behavior of Hattori Heiji and the others.

In this way, the three of them followed the Nishimura Police Department to the cordon and behind the blue curtain used to block the scene——

I saw a corpse sitting there behind the curtain and in front of the telephone pole in the alley.

The deceased was wearing a beige windbreaker, lined with a shirt and a tie, and his chest was stained with black blood. It could be seen that there was a huge wound on his chest, and it seemed that the wound on his chest was his fatal main reason.

"The deceased, Sumito Kugaki, was 43 years old and was a lawyer. The murder weapon should have been a sharp knife similar to a Japanese sword. After an 'X'-shaped wound was made on the deceased's chest, he bled to death. ”

In this way, Nishimura Police Department briefly explained the situation.

In this way, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but feel extremely curious about the cause of death of the deceased:

"'X' shaped wound? Use a Japanese sword to cut such a wound..."

With that said, Hattori Heiji tried to illustrate the process of the murderer's knife, but the result seemed to be very uncomfortable. If he hadn't specially practiced this cutting method...

"Sumito Kuagaki is the legal advisor of the Axe Consortium. Could this matter be related to what happened last night..."

In this regard, Gao Yuan linked the identity of the deceased to last night's incident, and realized that it seemed that the actual situation regarding Keisaburo Hatie's treasure might be far more complicated than what he grasped.

"What belongings did the deceased have?"

Gao Yuan thought for a while and asked casually.

Then, I saw the Nishimura Police Department taking out an evidence bag with a lot of bills in it——

"Air tickets, taxi receipts... Looking at the itinerary, he just came back from abroad?"

Gao Yuan made this judgment after taking a rough look.

"There's an empty golf bag over there."

Immediately afterwards, the West Village Police Department pointed to the location further inside the alley, where they saw police officers checking evidence and investigating clues left in the alley——

Looking at the blood stains that the police are investigating here, Gao Yuan feels that the deceased may have encountered the murderer where the golf bag is now, walked forward for a while, and then fell down and died at the current location.

And the fact that the golf bag is empty...

It’s very concerning...

"In addition, we did not find the deceased's mobile phone."

Nishimura Police Department continued:

"According to the available information, the victim arrived at Narita Airport from Dubai yesterday, took a domestic flight from Narita Airport to Hakodate, then took a taxi at the airport and came to the port terminal."

"Looking at the wound, the knife was cut from the front. He either knew the murderer or was attacked by a sneak attack..."

After Hattori Heiji made serious gestures several times, he finally shook his head and could only come to this conclusion.

"Judging from the flight information, the deceased arrived in Hakodate last night. As the legal advisor of the Axe Consortium, he returned from Dubai. Why did he come here?"

Conan thought so.

"And more importantly, where did the contents of that golf bag go."

As Gao Yuan said this, he probably had an idea in his mind——

According to what I know, two of the six daggers forged by Tokubo Eiryu have been lost abroad. So if the current head of the Fue Consortium, Fue Takuzo, hopes to recover the treasures of his ancestors, only Tokubo can do it. With the clue of Kubo Eiryu, he must want to recover all six short swords. In this way, the trajectory of Kugaki Sumito's actions is worth talking about.

It is very likely that the legal advisor of the Fujiang Consortium was arranged by Fujiang Takusan to go abroad and bring back the two daggers that were wandering abroad.

But if that's the case, now, when he returned to Hakodate, why didn't he go directly to find Takuzo Hatue instead of coming here?

And this, think about the content of the phone call that Conan and the others heard last night...

"Did the murderer take away the golf club after killing someone last night? However, no matter how you look at that person, he doesn't look like he just finished playing golf."

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but analyze what Takato said.

"That phone call last night..."

For a moment, Gao Yuan, who thought of this, felt that it was time to remind Conan and others about the sword.

As a result, at this moment——

"Hey! Is there something in his hand?"
