Chapter 736 What a Coincidence

"It's done."

After returning to the room, Officer Nishimura closed the door tightly. He looked at the two adults and one child sitting around the coffee table and repeated what he had just said according to the plan of Maori Kogoro.

"According to what Detective Maori said, I divided the local people in Hakodate into five groups, and they all revealed different locations."

Since it was the insider who leaked the news to Brian, if a false news was fabricated that Kaito Kid planned to return the knife at the hot spring hotel, it made no sense that the insider would not tell the location he knew.

As long as there were traces of Brian in the corresponding hotel, Nishimura could easily confirm which group the insider was in.

"But since Officer Nishimura is willing to say that there are bad guys in the police, it proves that you must have someone you suspect, right?"

Mouri Kogoro pinched his chin, thought of those Brian people and shook his head: "It would be great if we could deal with them first."

There was a group of gangsters living in the same hotel with me, and I always felt uncomfortable all over.

"That bad guy must have let them come because they haven't done anything to get caught. Uncle's idea is impossible."

Conan lay straight on the coffee table, and his peripheral vision observed the fidgeting father-in-law of Kid.

Nakamori Ginzo was still thinking about the injured Kid. He took out his mobile phone and noticed that the message he sent to Kaito had not been replied. He hesitated for a while but still didn't call.

"Ah, sorry, I've been asking you to give me advice."

Officer Nishimura also noticed Nakamori's abnormality. Except for Conan, none of the four people in the room had taken a bath, so he embarrassedly asked Maori and Nakamori to take a bath first, and he planned to ask the proprietress for a bottle of sake.

"Those guys should bear it for now." Nishimura pointed in the direction of the steam: "Although the weather is very cold, it is very enjoyable to soak in the hot spring and have a drink."

The three of them left Conan in the room. After they left completely, the elementary school student took out his mobile phone and took a few photos on the coffee table and sent them to Hiroki, asking him to investigate whether there was the name of Kuroba Kaito in the records of several hospitals in Hakodate.

Walking in the corridor of the hot spring hotel, Conan walked towards the single room. As he said just now, he was not worried that those guys would suddenly attack, because since Brian dared to send people to the police, he would never let them do anything illegal.

"If they wanted to find Kidd by observing the people around Officer Nakamori, they would have succeeded if that guy was still there."

Conan walked around the front desk and walked to his and Xiaolan's room to open the door, but heard the dissatisfied voice of a girl in the next room.

"Hurry up, the store will be closed if it's late."

...

"Takeout."

Pushing Kuroba Kaito in the quilt, Hakuba was wearing a pink yukata. The room was very warm now. She moved the coffee table against the wall to the middle of the room and urged Kuroba Kaito to put the food on the table.

"Let me see..."

The magician covered with a quilt came to the coffee table little by little, looking at the ramen, dumplings and fried chicken on the table, he stared at Hakuba helplessly.

"What...what are you doing?"

"Tsk, you are just good-looking on the outside."

The Hakuba who always looks high-class in the class is eating ramen. At least he should order some western food...

"You are such an idiot. How can a high-class restaurant do takeout? They don't even have enough business in the store." Hakuba sat cross-legged opposite Kuroba Kaito with disdain: "If you hadn't been unconscious, I would have booked a restaurant long ago."

"Hey, hey, I got a share of ramen. Thank you, Mr. Hakuba."

[This guy is really infuriating! ]

Hakuba stared with dead eyes, snorted, and snatched the chopsticks handed by Kuroba Kaito, urging him to explain the situation quickly.

"That Brian is so cruel. He chopped me directly."

Touching his still aching shoulder, Kuroba Kaito leaned the chopsticks on the ramen bowl, picked up the three knives on the side, and put the blades together.

"It is indeed a five-pointed star."

Although it is not complete now, the three knives are enough to see the secret hidden in the knife.

"We should go to Goryokaku to have a look."

"Grandpa Nan said that the Fujiang family used knives as a secret code and hid the treasure in Hakodate, but the five-pointed star does not necessarily refer to Goryokaku, right?"

Hakuba took two sips of soup from the bowl, picked up the fried chicken and ate it until his lips were shiny, and then he realized that Kuroba Kaito was staring at him.

"If you want to eat, pick it up yourself. I won't give it to you."

"You're still holding a grudge against Dorobiga Paradise." Kuroba Kaito rolled his eyes: "I just think you've adapted pretty well."

"For the so-called hot spring that can lift the curse, I've been soaking in a hot spring almost every hour these two days. My body has gotten used to it."

Hakuba waved his hand, then propped up his face and felt a little sleepy: "Really, what the old man said is not reliable at all. I've almost finished soaking in all the hot springs in Hakodate, and there's no sign of changing back."

If this goes on, she'll almost forget what it feels like to be a man.

"No, I can't sleep yet."

A slap on the coffee table startled Kuroba Kaito who was eating noodles. Hakuba clenched his fist and said: "The small hot springs in the room all come from the same source, but the big hot spring opposite is not. We have to soak in the hot spring of this hotel tonight."

"Didn't you just soak in it?"

"Then soak in it later."

Hakuba remembered that there was a shop selling hot spring buns not far away, and urged Kuroba Kaito to go buy some with her after eating.

"You can go by yourself, right?"

"Silly, if you stay here alone, it will be troublesome if the people in the hotel find out that you are so seriously injured."

Suddenly realizing, Kuroba Kaito nodded, saying that he didn't think it through because of cerebral ischemia.

"Then why don't you just not eat hot spring buns?"

"I want to, too." Hakuba held his forehead and sighed: "But after becoming a girl, my appetite has increased. When I think of hot spring buns, my stomach starts to growl non-stop."

"I just ate so much food?" Kuroba Kaito narrowed his eyes: "Hakuba, you just think that this body will be fine after you change back, right? I didn't feel that way at the time."

"You're just being long-winded, that's just because you have stronger control, and it's the same with magic practice. If you don't overcome laziness, you can't be as good as Kidd."

She stood up with the help of the floor, walked to the door and began to put clothes on outside the yukata.

Contrary to what Kuroba Kaito had judged, Hakuba really had no resistance to sweets and snacks after becoming a girl. In fact, she couldn't control herself when she passed by the hot spring bun shop before coming to this hot spring hotel.

"Hurry up, it's too late and the shop will be closed."

"Wait a minute."

After cleaning up the leftover tableware on the coffee table, Kuroba Kaito also put on his clothes, picked up the garbage and walked out of the room with Hakuba who opened the door.

"Huh?! You guy!"

"Huh?"

Following the direction of the voice, the magician turned his head and looked at the dull-looking detective, and the two similar faces froze at the same time. (End of this chapter)
