Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"After this intersection, we will reach our hotel."

Stopping by the roadside, Yuuji pointed to a building not far away and introduced the hotel he had booked in advance to Toyama and Ye.

"From here you can directly see Hakodate's most famous Gorokaku. I specifically checked the guide and called to book it."

"so good."

Toyama and Ye made envious sounds. They moved together with the school and of course stayed in a collective hotel specially arranged for all participating schools. Not to mention seeing the beautiful scenery of Hakodate, it was clearly on the outskirts of Hakodate.

"It takes nearly 30 minutes by bus from where we live to the competition venue."

After the red light ended, the motorcycle drove straight to the hotel's underground parking lot. Yuji parked the car on the second underground floor and took Toyama and Ye to the room.

"After all, the money from the competition can't be used to enjoy the students."

The boy pressed the elevator button and suddenly remembered the police who appeared from time to time on the road: "Has there been any serial murders in Hakodate recently? I see that the road seems to be under severe martial law?"

"Eh, you don't know yet?" He Ye blinked and realized that Yuji was not joking: "I thought Yuji must know it?"

"Ok?"

"It was the notice sent by Kaito Kid. Although it was suppressed by the Hakodate police, my father and Heiji's father said that this matter would be reported to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, so I thought the police chief must have told you."

He hadn't heard anything about it. After confirming that Kidd's warning letter was sent at two o'clock in the morning at Miyano's old home that day, the boy decisively thought that the old man was up to something again.

It would be strange if he didn't know about what happened at night the next morning. And now thinking back to what they said at breakfast, it seems to have nothing to do with Kaito Kidd's matter.

If it was just Kidd, the old man would definitely not let Kaori and Yuzuki stay in Tokyo obediently. There must be something more dangerous...

"What did that guy come all the way to Hakodate to steal?"

Pushing open the door of the room, the boy knocked at the entrance, and the two doors of the room and the living room were opened directly. Mouri Ran and Conan stuck their heads out and noticed Toyama Kazuha.

"Waha-chan!"

Mao Lilan smiled and pulled the girl to the sofa in the living room, while Conan sat quietly aside holding his tablet.

"I thought you were staying separately, but it turns out you booked a suite." "Of course, so if He Ye wants to stay here today, that's fine too."

While the two girls were still talking, the boy had already taken out his phone and started to collect the latest information about Kidd on the Internet. Unfortunately, it had not been long since the princess's bangs passed, and there was nothing on the Internet related to Hakodate. Yuji had no choice but to call the old man, but the other party did not answer the call.

"Really? Why didn't you make it clear in advance?"

Walking to the floor-to-ceiling window in the room, the boy looked down at the road and the cars that had become smaller, scanning the entire street.

"There are a few people in the corners, and you can tell at a glance that they are surrounding this hotel."

I didn't pay attention when I was riding a bike, but now I can see it clearly from the upper floor. However, just as Yuji observed for a while, the people below seemed to suddenly realize that they had been discovered, and they all left the building.

"This room is not bugged. I checked it in advance."

Conan's voice sounded beside Yuuji. The elementary school student was holding on to the window, and he had obviously noticed the people below for a long time.

"If this happens, it means that someone is secretly observing us not far away. Once they find any signs of being exposed, they will immediately withdraw their own people and replace them with new ones."

Yuji took out his cell phone, but the old man showed no intention of replying to his message, so the boy turned around and called Kuroba Kaito.

“I haven’t answered it yet.”

Conan looked at Yuuji who put away his phone and found that he was about to go out again: "Where are you going?"

"Do I need to ask? Of course it's the police station. But how can I get information there?"

Yuji sighed: "Since it is related to Kidd, that person should be here too."

"I am coming too!"

Following Yuji's footsteps, Conan also ran out of the room.
