Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 128 Osaka Double Mystery (8)

The deceased, Kato Yuji, was wrapped in a body bag, carried onto a stretcher, and then taken to an ambulance. He was then taken to the hospital for proper treatment. Hospitals are safer and more convenient, and under normal circumstances, the act of stealing a body like in Detective Chinatown would not occur...

After watching the deceased leave, Officer Otaki pulled together several people he trusted to start researching what the so-called treasure was and why the deceased was killed.

"I see, this is the fragment of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's so-called Senjō-hyōtan. As for this, I'm sure you all know more about your own country's affairs than I do. Let Heiji and Conan explain to you two why we came to this conclusion...!"

Hua Lantian expressed his opinion in a very calm tone, and asked his two younger brothers to explain to everyone the reason for this opinion.

While the rest of the people were listening to the two younger brothers' explanation with great interest, Hua Lantian walked aside to make a phone call.

He wanted to confirm whether his wife had returned home safely, and of course he also wanted to confirm the safety of Xiaolan and Heye, after all, he was the one who asked them to go back.

After learning that everyone had returned home safely, Hua Lantian casually said something when they asked about the case and hung up the phone. It wouldn't be good for them to know too much, so he simply kept silent. Later, when they wanted to know about the TV...

Hua Lantian didn't intend to point out both the murderer and the gang leader right away. Actually, everyone in this tour group was a troublemaker. They probably all had problems, perhaps shameful ones, so even if they were killed by the murderer, he wouldn't mind...

He quietly returned to the scene to watch everyone's performance, and nodded to the three people to tell them that they had arrived home safely.

Then, everyone started discussing the gourd fragments and the authenticity of the treasure again. At this time, a familiar voice, filled with the majesty of a superior, appeared.

"If this dragon scroll, like the Dragon-Tiger Stone, reveals the gourd pattern when it gets wet...! That means there must be another tiger scroll...! And it might even contain the location of a hidden treasure...!"

The person who came was Ginjiro Toyama. He held an umbrella and slowly walked up to everyone, then said with a hint of sarcasm.

At the same time, he also looked at his future son-in-law, Hattori Heiji, hoping that Heiji would have the same idea as him.

As he expected, Hattori Heiji looked at the newcomer with some surprise. He didn't expect that Toyama Ginjiro would be brought here. Shouldn't the two of them be re-investigating the case from 13 years ago in the bureau?

As if he had seen through his thoughts, Toyama Ginjiro continued, "Alright, Heiji, you should hurry home. This case is not something you can handle. I'll have someone take you and Conan back later. Kazuha and Ran are worried about you at home. Go back and get some rest...!"

"Ah, why, Uncle Yuanshan...! I can understand if we go back, but why do you want Brother Lantian to stay here too...!"

Hattori Heiji looked at him and then at Hua Lantian, speaking in confusion and speechlessness.

"Because I'm older than you, and no one would bother me...!"

Hua Lantian shrugged and said with a face that asked for a beating. He knew that saying this would inspire Heiji and Conan to continue their investigation.

Even if I don't do this, the two of them will still rush forward, so I can strengthen my fighting spirit in advance.

As expected, under Hua Lantian's provocation, the two of them became even more excited and ran away in a hurry...
