Stay away from Conan

Now, with the clues provided by the police, the murder case has basically come to an idea. However, it is related to a dangerous arms dealer, and we still have to rely on the power of the police, so Gao Yuan has to explain his guess to the police at this time. , after all, the Hokkaido police are willing to let themselves participate, so they have to give some reply.

Therefore, Gao Yuan made an analysis based on last night's action of Phantom Thief Kidd. His target was the "dagger forged by Tokubo Eiryu", which was very unlike the target that the usual Phantom Thief Kidd would target. He guessed that maybe Kaitou Kidd De is also here for Keisaburo Hatue's treasure, and the key to finding the treasure is probably related to Kaitou Kid's goal, "Higashiba Eiryu's short sword".

And, in addition, there is another piece of evidence that can basically lock the items in the deceased’s golf bag to the category of knives——

That was the corner of the piece of paper left in the deceased's hand that was discovered through Hattori Heiji's reminder.

Based on Conan and Hattori Heiji's knowledge, they probably guessed that this thing should be the corner of the "Guns and Swords Registration Certificate".

Combined with the inference that Kugaki Sumito just returned from Dubai, he probably bought the knife in Dubai. However, since this kind of thing cannot be carried normally as carry-on luggage, special channels are needed, and the "Guns and Swords Registration Certificate" That's the key to this channel, except that the document itself should be forged.

——"That being said, it is true that many knives have ended up in the hands of overseas collectors. If they are the same type of knives as the knives in the Hatsue Foundation's collection, they happened to be in Dubai and were bought back by Hisagaki Sumitomo. It’s not impossible. And his death is probably inseparable from these knives. It can even be assumed that the murderer’s target was the knives.”

In the lounge on the other side, listening to the news from Takato, Hattori Heiji also made the same guess and analysis.

"It's probably true, but the question is whether it was Kadokura who killed him for the sake of the sword, or whether it was Takuzo Atsue's revenge after learning of Kugaki Sumito's betrayal... It's even possible that there are other forces that are also watching. The sword brought back by Kuagaki Sumito..."

Immediately afterwards, Conan also analyzed it so seriously. In such a situation, Conan couldn't help but think of three possibilities.

"What about Kaitou Kidd?"

However, Hattori Heiji soon mentioned Kaitou Kid. After all, if everything is related to swords, what about Kaitou Kid who stole two daggers last night?

"Um……"

Listening to Hattori Heiji's words, Conan couldn't help but rub his chin and think for a moment, then said:

"If Kaitou Kidd's target, the so-called Tokubo Eiryu's dagger, is really related to Keisaburo Hatie's treasure, and if there are a few more wandering around, then Kaitou Kidd will definitely take action again... But At the same time, others will also be on guard against Kaitou Kidd!”

Conan said this because he thought that the most likely possibility is that the man who got the short sword brought back by Kugaki Sumito must want to find the treasure of Keisaburo Hatie, then the conflict between them and Kaitou Kidd is irreconcilable. , you will definitely encounter it.

However, if we think about it more deeply, the only thing that cannot be confirmed now is the conjecture Gao Yuan mentioned to the police——

Can it be confirmed that there is a real connection between Higashikawa Eiryu's dagger and Hatsue Keisaburo's treasure?

As long as this can be determined, many problems will be solved.

If you want to know the answer, you naturally have to ask someone who knows the answer. Currently, Conan and Hattori Heiji can think of three forces that should know the secret of Keisaburo Hatsue's treasure and want to find it -

One of them is the current head of the Ashue Consortium, Takuzo Ashue, the second is Kaitou Kidd, and the last one is Kadokura, the arms dealer mentioned by Zenku Kawazoe just now.

Among them, Fue Takuzo may not answer. After all, he does not have a dagger in his hand at this moment. So following this line of thinking, the two parties holding daggers will definitely have a conflict...

So it can be predicted that Kaitou Kidd will most likely take action again!

From this, Conan and Hattori Heiji, who thought of this, even if they are not sure where the next event will happen, they generally know where they should go next and there is a high possibility of encountering a conflict.

In this way, even if they were just betting on a possibility, Conan and Hattori Heiji had plans for their next move.

In the conference room on Takato's side, after Takato's questioning and getting Kadokura's current address in Hakodate from the police, Conan and the others were ready to take action.

As for Gao Yuan, for him, because he already had the news about Kuroba Kaito, he didn't need to wait for the incident to happen like Conan and others who tried to confirm the news.

For Gao Yuan, the question now is where are the remaining two daggers. After all, Gao Yuan knows that there are six daggers owned by Tokubo Eiryu, and the two that are scattered overseas should be found by Kugaki Sumitomo. The last two were left, and Kuroba Kaito didn't seem to know their whereabouts at the time.

Therefore, it seems impossible to gather six daggers to unlock the secrets and find the treasure. And even if you find six daggers, will you be able to unlock the secret?

After all, Gao Yuan was still too sensitive to the timing of the news about Dongwa Ronglong. He felt that it was too coincidental, especially since even the arms dealer had fallen out of business. There was probably another conspiracy behind it.

Therefore, Gao Yuan is now very concerned about the Mitsubishi Consortium's choice to withdraw from the auction, and he does not know when Mitarai Yukina will be able to ask about the situation and reply to him.

In addition to this, the reason why Kuroba Kaito was interested in this matter was that it was related to Kuroba Toichi's last target before his disappearance, which was Fue. This treasure of Keisaburo——

Since Tokubo Eiryu's six daggers are now scattered everywhere, then the situation that Kuroba Pirate encountered eight years ago must have been similar. Was it possible for him to collect all six daggers at that time?

I feel that the possibility is not high, so if Kuroha Pirates wanted to find the treasure at that time, how would he find it without the clue of Tokubo Eiryu?

In this way, just as Gao Yuan was thinking about what to do next, a phone call caught Gao Yuan's attention——

"Hey, kid Gao Yuan!"

After connecting the number, Gao Yuan heard the angry words of an old man on the other side of the phone, which made Gao Yuan very sure who the voice belonged to:

"Mr. Zongxu..."

Although it was a bit unexpected, it didn't feel too surprising. Gao Yuan followed Mitarai Munexu on the phone and said -

After all, I originally asked Mitarai Yukina to help inquire about Mitarai Munexu's situation, but it turned out that Mitarai Munexu wanted to discuss this issue with me directly.

That's good too...
