The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 366: Encounter at the Castle Tower



Chapter 366: Encounter at the Castle Tower

Time quickly came to the next day.

Last night’s case at the 3K Hotel ended quickly after Conan said some harsh words to Hakuba Song.

It was not Hakuba Song who explained this directly to the police, but Conan continued to investigate in order to prove that his idol was innocent, but the result was completely contrary to the truth.

The more he investigated, the more he found that the evidence was sufficient to prove that his idol, Ray Curtis, was the murderer.

This result made him extremely depressed, but he had to accept it.

Therefore, Conan found Lekatis and had a private conversation with him. In the end, Lekatis still had a conscience and chose to surrender to the police.

As for what Bai Masong and Conan said at the end of yesterday, what they actually meant was that Ed's message before his death had already pointed the finger at Ray Curtis.

Ed's hand gesture is that of holding sushi, meaning he wants to link the movement of his other hand with the sushi.

The other hand holds a belt, which is called "band". In sushi restaurants in the island country, "band" refers to the eighth dish.

And "8" is exactly Ray Katis's jersey number.

Bai Masong knew that with Conan's knowledge, he would definitely be able to understand what he said, so he stopped there.

Well, yesterday's case is finally over.

Bai Masong thought,

I came to Osaka to rest. If there were murders every day, what would be the difference from being in Tokyo?

Fortunately, the cases that Kidd is involved in are mostly light-hearted and enjoyable.

From now on, you and your family can still have a relatively happy holiday.

..........................

It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.

Osaka Castle's tower

"The circular one is Osaka Castle Hall."

"The tall buildings across from it are the current commercial district of Osaka!"

Toyama Kazuha pointed at the rows of buildings outside the window with great interest, introducing them to Maori Kogoro and others as if they were all treasures.

"Also, behind this group of buildings, where we can't see, there is a news bureau. It is the most iconic building in Osaka!"

"And over there is the famous Osaka Castle!"

After saying that, he did not forget to ask proudly,

"How about it? Our Osaka is great, isn't it?"

She wanted everyone's praise, but what she got in response was Xiaolan's polite smile and Hattori Heiji's helpless roll of the eyes.

"Really!"

Hattori Heiji was speechless.

"What you said is exactly the same as what I told them last time!"

"Eh!?"

He Ye's excited big eyes turned into small eyes in an instant.

"Moreover,"

Hattori Heiji came up to Kazuha and said unhappily,

"I took them to Tsutenkaku last time, and we overlooked the scenery of Osaka from there. You are such a failure as a tour guide!"

Feeling that Hattori Heiji might have said something that was a little hurtful, Sato Miwako quickly stepped out to smooth things over.

"It's okay, Hattori and Kazuha mean well. Besides, Ai and I didn't come last time, so they can just take care of us this time."

When Toyama Kazuha saw someone come out to "support" her, she also felt empowered and responded directly to Hattori Heiji.

"That's what I'm saying. Sister Meiwako and Xiao Ai didn't see it last time, and you said you had already brought them here."

What Toyama Kazuha and Sato Miwako said made Hattori Heiji feel a little embarrassed.

He indeed forgot that today's team had two more people than last time.

"Ah, mistake, mistake, hahahaha..."

Hattori Heiji forced himself to laugh awkwardly.

When Toyama Kazuha saw Hattori Heiji admit his mistake, she did not intend to let him go and continued to talk nonstop.

"Besides, the Tenjin Festival, Gion Festival and Kishiwada Festival were all over at that time, and you only took them to see Osaka Castle!"

"Come to think of it, seeing Osaka Castle in person is much more beautiful than what we saw on TV."

Xiaolan also said with a smile.

"That's it!"

Yuanshan Heye received the affirmation and nodded repeatedly.

"Besides, Osaka Castle looks brand new after the renovation!"

"The castle tower has been under renovation since 60 years ago, but there has been no updates since then!"

Just as He Ye was saying this, an old voice corrected her words.

"It was seventy years ago."

Everyone looked back and saw a short, fat old man with gray hair and a Mediterranean appearance standing next to them. It was obvious that he was the one who said the words just now.

"In fact, the castle tower was first built in 1599, and was later rebuilt in 1629 by Tokugawa Ieyasu."

"Osaka people wanted to start construction again and build a third-generation castle tower nearly 70 years ago, in 1931."

After the old man finished speaking, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but praise him.

"The old man remembers it so clearly."

"Of course."

The old man smiled, but he was not proud, as if this was a very common thing.

"Taikoku Hideyoshi is the one I admire most."

After listening to the old man's words, everyone understood.

It's no surprise that he was an avid fan of Taiko Hideyoshi.

At this time, Hattori Heiji, who was standing nearby, leaned close to the old man's chest again.

I saw a badge on the old man's chest.

"This is......"

Hattori Heiji raised his head and looked at the old man.

"Old man, the pattern on it is a trefoil, right?"

“Is this the family crest of Tokugawa Ieyasu?”

When the old man heard Hattori Heiji asking about his badge, he smiled and was about to explain,

"Haha, speaking of this..."

However, as he was speaking, he was interrupted by someone coming from behind.

"Brother Ieyasu, you are here."

"My lord has been waiting for a long time."

The old man turned his head and saw a man in his thirties walking towards him.

When he saw the person coming, he immediately replied,

"I'm sorry, Brother Mitsuhide."

Hearing the two people addressing each other, Kogoro Mori and others also realized something.

"Um, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Akechi Mitsuhide?"

Kogoro Maori was stunned.

"It seems that these two are playing some role-playing games."

Bai Masong said lightly.

"role play?"

Several people looked at Bai Ma Song with puzzled expressions.

Bai Masong explained calmly,

"As the name suggests, it is a group of people with the same hobbies playing their favorite roles."
