Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

"Jiu Yuan, well done, you actually found it.

Kadekra pulled out a long knife and suddenly slashed at Nacho. When the blade was only a few centimeters away from Nacho's throat, he stopped.

Nacho has a fierce look, dark skin, and a bald head, making him look more like a boiled egg.

Although he is fat, his skills are not restricted by his body shape and he is extremely flexible.

“Ming…!”

"Hmph!" Kadekla smiled, shook off the blood on the blade, and then sheathed the knife.

"There are four left."

"Dong dong!"

Someone knocked on the door, and then his subordinate with an afro rushed in in a panic: "Boss! We found this on the door of the room."

"What's got you so flustered?" He cut his teeth with disdain.

The subordinate handed over a card. The card looked very familiar. It was the crime notice of Kaito Kid.

"……..Take this knife away? Interesting."

Kadekla looked at the preview and gave a terrifying smile.

"Nacho, be on high alert!"

“YES SIR!”

Nacho took immediate action.

There are many seagulls on the roof of the hotel where Kadekla lives.

Kaito Kidd sat in the middle of the seagulls, with a bug on his ear: "There are still four left?"

Seagulls landed on Kidd's shoulders and he gazed out to sea ahead, with the gentle mountains of Mount Hakodate visible across the sea.

Kidd slowly stood up, opened his arms, and jumped forward. The glider behind him immediately unfolded and his body floated in the air.

As if chasing Kidd who was flying gracefully in the sky, the seagulls also took off.

After completing the on-site evidence collection at the port, Baijiu and others came to the Hakodate Central Police Station.

Since they were underage, only Baijiu was allowed to enter the meeting room.

So, Baijiu, Nishimura and Kawazoe held a meeting in the conference room, while Conan and Heiji waited in another room.

There was an electronic whiteboard hanging on the wall of the conference room, and Kawazoe projected a photo.

The foreign man in the photo is holding a gift, surrounded by children, and smiling happily.

"This man is Brian D. Kadekla, a Japanese-American investor." Kawazoe opened the laptop on the conference table and said

Baijiu, who was sitting opposite him, had his chin supported by his hand, and a ballpoint pen was inserted into his chest pocket.

"I've heard of this man. He seems to be a wealthy man and a famous philanthropist."

"You know it very well!" Kawazoe said politely: "But this is only on the surface————"

"He is actually a death merchant, am I right?" Baijiu interrupted him and leaned back tactically.

"That's right! I didn't expect you to know all this! You are worthy of being Detective Maori's apprentice!"

Of course I know this... We had collaborated with him once before when the organization was operating in South America.

"He is secretly a weapons dealer, the so-called merchant of death."

Baijiu opened his fist and pointed at his chest pocket with his finger, as if conveying some signal.

Then, after feeling a slight vibration, he took a breath through his nose and placed his hands flat on the table.

It turns out that there is a micro-camera hidden in the ballpoint pen in Baijiu's chest pocket, which is in the other room with Conan and Heiji.

I could clearly see the situation in the conference room using my mobile phone.

After hearing Kawazoe's words, both of them looked up at each other.

Kawazoe continued, "His business in Asia was booming, and the highway police had been keeping an eye on him for many years."

"It was my suggestion!" He looked very proud, and as he spoke, Kawazoe adjusted his round glasses with his fingers.

"Kawazoe is very knowledgeable about this," added Inspector Nishimura, who was sitting next to him.

Kawazoe picked up the tea next to the notebook and took a few sips: "Hehe, I feel a little embarrassed by your praise."

So that's how it is, Baijiu nodded.

Baijiu pretended to be suspicious: "So... this time, Kadekla's purpose of coming to Japan is to participate in charity activities... huh?"

Suddenly, several photos appeared on the screen one after another.

The man with glasses and a beard, the photos of him standing next to a car and an airplane, the photos of him pointing deep into a cave, the photos of him eating in the forest, all of these photos show the same man.

“What are these photos…?”

"Ah? Ah? What is this!?"

"Kawazoe! Don't put drinks on the computer!!"

"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!"

The cup of tea was placed on the notebook. Kawazoe hurriedly took the cup and placed it next to the notebook.

Inspector Nishimura couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"… Let's get back to the point. Kadekla's real purpose for coming to Japan should be to find the treasure hidden by Keisaburo Axie."

Inspector Nishimura said, "Before the war, Keisaburo Axie dug gold in Hokkaido and accumulated a huge fortune... However, after his death, part of his fortune disappeared. It is said that all of this fortune was gold bars, which he hid somewhere."

"But Kadekla is also a wealthy man, right? He probably has no interest in gold bricks, right?"

As soon as Baijiu finished speaking, Kawazoe denied it and said, "How can I not be interested?"

"What exactly is the treasure that Keisaburo left behind?"

"There is no definitive answer yet. Some people say it is not a gold brick, but some kind of powerful weapon."

Kawazoe continued to project new photos, including photos of Keizaburo walking in Hakodate City, inspecting mines and rocket factories, and shooting with a Gatling gun.

"Keizaburo was closely connected with the military industry during the war. It is said that he obtained some powerful weapons at that time."

Kawazoe stood up, held onto the table and said seriously, "It could be some powerful weapon that can change the situation of the battle."

Conan and Heiji, who were in another room, were shocked when they heard these words.

"A powerful weapon that can change the situation of the battle!?"

Heiji couldn't help but hum, while Conan stared at the phone screen calmly.

Baijiu stared at Keizaburo on the screen and thought seriously. "I see, this is exactly what the weapons dealer wants."

"This is the photo I want to show Mr. Yiyu."

As he spoke, Kawazoe handed over an envelope.

There were more than ten photos in the envelope. Baijiu placed them on the table: "Is this Kadekla and... the murdered lawyer Jiuyuan?"

The people in the photo were Kadekla and Kugaki Sumichito. The two seemed to know each other and were in a lounge at the time.

"Yes, Kugaki has been searching for treasure under the orders of Axie Takuzo."

"For Takusan, who has a headache about money after his investment failed, finding the treasure can really solve his urgent problem..."

Baijiu put the photo in his hand on the table and stretched.

Then he stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance through the gap in the curtains.

"But...why did Kugaki meet with Kadekra?"

Nishimura replied, "Maybe Kugaki betrayed his employer and leaked the information about the treasure to Kadekla. By the way, several cameras captured Kugaki carrying a golf backpack, but they couldn't confirm what was in the backpack."

“I don’t know the most important thing…”

Baijiu muttered softly, and the ballpoint pen in his pocket gleamed.

"Let's take a rest first."

"Yes."

Seeing Nishimura standing up, Conan put his phone on the table. Heiji, who was sitting next to him, propped his chin with his hand and said, "The things in the golf backpack... are probably..."

"knife!!"

Conan and Heiji said at the same time, and then both of them looked at each other and smiled.
