"Kazuha, what did you say?"
Heiji turned to look at Kazuha and asked, "Kazuha, do you know something?"
“Yesterday, your father and my father were talking in the car about how a piece of the charred body found thirteen years ago in the inner dredging channel and another charred body found in the outer dredging channel before that were both found to have a piece of the charred body.”
"Moreover, the area we discovered earlier seemed to have the number 848 written on it."
Recalling yesterday, Kazuha suddenly blushed, but still tried to remain calm as she spoke.
"Eight hundred and forty-eight? What does that mean?"
Heiji was also a bit confused after hearing this.
"Actually, I don't know what it means either. I just feel that the fragment might be part of some kind of treasure."
"Treasure? What treasure?"
"Do you think I mean that? That's what they said, and they even said it's a huge treasure left by the people of the world."
Heiji straightened up, somewhat suspiciously: "The treasure of the world? You didn't embellish what they said, did you?"
Conan suddenly called out to Heiji, "Heiji-nii, come and look at this shard of pottery. There are some shiny things stuck to the inside of it."
Guangyou, holding an umbrella, stared at the fragment, a growing doubt creeping into his heart: "Could there really be a treasure?"
"But where is it?"
Just as Kōyū was deep in thought, Heiji and Conan seemed to have thought of something.
He grabbed the scroll and rushed out of the umbrella into the rain.
In the rain, Heiji opened the scroll right in front of Inspector Otaki and the others, exposing it completely to the rain.
"Hey, Heiji, what are you doing? This is very important evidence."
Heiji completely ignored Officer Otaki and continued to let the scroll be washed by the rain.
As the scroll was completely soaked by the rain, patterns and words gradually appeared on it.
Conan didn't deliberately lower his tone when he spoke to Heiji; the members of the tour group behind him each had their own ulterior motives.
Guangyou also had his own ulterior motives. Whether he could get it or not was one thing, but whether he would go or not was another.
After exchanging a glance with Conan, Heiji said to Inspector Otaki and Uncle Mori, "I should know what that treasure of the world is now."
Uncle Mori was also surprised when he heard this: "What? You knew?"
"It should be right. I came to this conclusion by combining this fragment with the scroll."
Heiji seemed to have anticipated the puzzled looks on Uncle Mori's face. After speaking, he handed the rain-soaked scroll to Uncle Mori.
"The scroll just has a few lines written on it..."
Uncle Mori unfurled the scroll and suddenly saw an unbelievable scene: "How did these things suddenly appear on it!"
The rest of them were looking at the patterns on the scroll, while Guangyou's attention was on the words on the scroll.
After watching for a while, Guangyou had an idea. He smiled and decided to test whether the idea in his mind was true.
"Since there are dragons, then..."
"There should be a tiger, right?"
Ginjiro Toyama walked towards them, holding an umbrella. "Since there's a dragon scroll, there should also be a tiger one. The other scroll probably has the location where these gourds are buried written on it."
"Am I right, Heiji?"
The appearance of Ginjiro Toyama was clearly unexpected by both Inspector Otaki and Heiji, who looked quite surprised.
"Chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, what brings you here?"
"I called him."
Kazuha, who was standing to the side holding an umbrella, said matter-of-factly, "Anyway, the police station is very close to here, and my dad has investigated similar cases before. If we don't find someone to come, you probably won't be able to leave this time either."
"Kazuha is right. Leave this to me. You younger folks should just have fun."
Ginjiro Toyama had a smile on his face and looked very kind.
Kazuha looked at Heiji expectantly and said, "That's right, I know a good restaurant near Shinbashi in Osaka Castle. Let's go there for dinner."
"What are you saying! A murder happened right in front of me, how could I possibly be in the mood for that..."
Heiji suddenly noticed that Ginjiro Toyama was glancing at him, and his voice immediately softened, "I'm not in the mood for dinner right now. Kazuha, you can go eat with Ran and the others first, don't worry about me."
"If you don't want to eat, then forget it, Xiaolan, let's go."
Kazuha looked at him with an expression that said, "You don't appreciate this," and turned to leave.
After giving Heiji a long look, Kōyū called out to the two who were walking away, "Wait for me!"
After arriving at the restaurant that Kazuha had mentioned and ordering, Ran suddenly asked, "You asked your father to come because of Hattori, right?"
"Since your father knows so much about the details of this case, Heiji can ask him anytime if there's anything he doesn't know."
Xiao Lan propped her head up with her hand and said with amusement, "You even used that ambiguous attitude to cover it up."
Kazuha's face flushed red instantly.
"That's because I want to see Heiji's smile every time he solves a case."
"Looking back now, I was really silly." Kazuha looked embarrassed, her blush lingering on her face.
"Absolutely stupid."
Xiaolan chuckled, "Just as stupid as me."
"To be honest, I always feel that Shinichi has the same expression on his face after solving a case."
Kazuha seemed to have found someone like herself, and looked at Ran with curiosity.
When Xiaolan realized what was happening, she blushed and stammered with her small eyes, "But he can only look at me at those times."
"Conan and Kousuke, are you two also...?"
Ran turned her head to look at the seat next to her and saw Guangyou holding a knife and fork, about to start eating.
Then he realized and said awkwardly, "It seems we've forgotten about Conan again."
"Ahem, I think we can eat first and then talk. There are a lot of police over there, and with Conan with Heiji, nothing will happen."
Guangyou sat obediently in his seat and spoke to the two of them.
"That's true. Let's eat then, I'm starving."
He Ye thought about it again and realized that it made sense; with the police around, nothing serious could happen.
As Guangyou ate the food on the table, he also marveled at how attractive the two beauties in front of him were.
They always put the other person first, only wanting to see the smile on the face of the person they like after solving the case.
Unfortunately, the two people he liked were both straight men, and not just any straight men.
"With such a beauty, what more could I ask for?"
Shaking his head, Kwangyu continued to use his knife and fork to work on the spaghetti bolognese in front of him.
"Ah, these are all sinful calories, let me bear the sin."
As the saying goes, a full stomach makes for a good journey...
No, it's better to be well-fed than to be idle.
Guangyou nodded in satisfaction, his heart filled with anticipation for that treasure that might or might not even exist.
It will be quite late after we finish eating.
As the old saying goes: "On a dark and windy night, one can quietly search for treasure."
