The black Lincoln sedan was moving quickly through the city.
Following Hattori Heiji's invitation, Hayashi Yoshiki once again set foot in Osaka - this time he was invited by the Suzuki Group.
The journey was smooth.
When the car drove into the gate of the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art, Hayashi Yoshiki noticed that there were several fully armed special police officers standing at the gate, and when the car stopped at the entrance of the museum, he could see a large number of police officers standing guard seriously.
There were even several Osaka Metropolitan Police Department helicopters patrolling in the sky.
"Here~! Yoshiki-nii!"
After opening the car door, Hayashi Yoshiki just stepped out of the car when he heard a female voice calling him.
He looked over and found that it was Kogoro Mori and his group as well as Sonoko Suzuki.
Hayashi Yoshiki walked over.
Putting down their hands that were raised and waving vigorously, Suzuki Sonoko and Xiaolan looked at each other and laughed.
"Good morning, Uncle Maori."
Hayashi Yoshiki first greeted Maori Kogoro who was standing there. The latter raised his hand and praised: "You look very energetic today, Shu."
"After all, today we have to be more formal."
After laughing, Hayashi Yoshiki looked at the two girls again: "How was it, did you have a good time these two days?"
"Yeah! I feel like the atmosphere here in Osaka is completely different from Mikado. Many things here are really delicious... It would have been nice if you had time to come over and play with us in the past two days, brother Jiashu."
"After all, there are things to do in the office."
Hayashi Yoshiki showed a helpless expression.
It is August now, which is the summer vacation, but Kogoro Mori and his group and Sonoko Suzuki have serious business here.
"Brother Jiashu."
Conan greeted.
Hayashi Yoshiki responded to him, and then Maori Kogoro looked around and sighed: "The security is so tight, in my opinion, not even an ant can escape."
"Of course, after all, the opponent is Kaito Kidd."
Although it was her own treasure that was being targeted, Sonoko was smiling and looked very much expectant.
"He is a mysterious and elusive gentleman thief who can change his appearance freely. He can miraculously break into any safe, no matter how strict the security is or how strong the vault is. He can even imitate the appearance and voice of the enemy. This time, we have really encountered a tough opponent."
A young voice came from behind the group.
Following the sound, I saw a young man carrying a girl getting off a Kawasaki KLX250 motorcycle. When he took off the helmet, a face similar to Kudo Shinichi's but darker was revealed.
"Hattori-kun?" Xiaolan looked surprised.
"Hey! See you again, everyone!"
Hattori Heiji walked up with a smile.
Hayashi Yoshiki also smiled, and he gently raised his hand to Hattori Heiji: "Hattori-san, can you come closer?"
"What's wrong?"
Hattori Heiji came over, not knowing what was going on.
As a result, his face was pinched by Hayashi Yoshiki, and he was pinched so hard that he couldn't help but scream in pain: "Ouch, what are you doing!?"
"Like you said, Kaito Kid is a master of disguise. Let me add one more of his personal traits. He is actually quite narcissistic." Hayashi Yoshiki let go of Hattori Heiji and said with a smile, "And you just happened to flatter him when you showed up."
"Now it's proven that I'm not him in disguise, right? But I suspect that you, little brother, are actually Kaito Kid in disguise."
"I'll let it go."
Facing the hand extended by Hattori Heiji, Hayashi Yoshiki dodged it with a smile.
"ha?"
The dark-skinned young man looked dissatisfied.
He was a very serious guy, and at this time he had to confirm this matter.
Seeing his expression, Hayashi Yoshiki just smiled and said, "Then I'd like to trouble Xiaolan or Yuanzi to help me confirm it."
"Huh?"
"...Is it really possible?"
Compared to Xiaolan who was stunned for a moment, although Sonoko was asking, her hand had already reached out subconsciously.
She successfully touched Hayashi Yoshiki's face.
Just a touch of the finger, and she looked so excited.
Great...
No, it's not that serious anymore. At the moment when she was doing this, a sense of luxury welled up in Sonoko's heart - she was actually doing such a luxurious thing! ?
"Okay, Heiji, don't be so serious."
Toyama Kazuha patted her childhood sweetheart's shoulder with a smile, and then greeted Sonoko and Xiaolan very happily - when the two of them were traveling in Osaka these few days, Toyama Kazuha had been in charge of reception.
The group quickly entered the art museum and took the elevator to the president's office.
This time, it was Kaito Kid who set his sights on the treasure called "Egg of Memories" that was treasured by the Suzuki family. The warning letter he sent out alarmed the Osaka police, so a special search meeting targeting Kaito Kid was set up overnight.
The head of the Suzuki Group, Shiro Suzuki, specially invited Yoshiki Hayashi and Kogoro Mori.
Amid the strict security, the group arrived at the president's office.
"Oh! Mr. Mao Li, Mr. Lin... Thank you so much for coming here from so far away, thank you."
Shiro Suzuki, smiling and looking approachable, stretched out his hand and shook hands with both of them.
Suzuki Shiro also showed great cordiality towards the unexpected presence of Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha.
"Let me introduce these people to you first."
There were four other guests in the president's room.
Shiro Suzuki walked up to a sturdy man with light blond hair and introduced him, "This is the first secretary of the Russian Embassy, Siruov Chinikov."
"The man next to him is the art dealer I found, Mr. Qian Jiangyi." A middle-aged mixed-race Japanese man with a hooked nose.
"This is Mr. Ryu Kankawa, a freelance video writer who has applied to film the treasures." A man with medium-long hair holding a camera with an uninhibited and casual look.
"The last one is the Romanov dynasty researcher, Pu Siqinglan."
Pu Siqinglan, who was introduced last, was the only one who stood up.
She nodded to a few people and said in Chinese with an accent: "Hello."
Hayashi Yoshiki still had a smile on his face.
He was very interested in Pu Siqinglan - of course, not because of her beauty.
This woman is actually a killer wanted by Interpol with the code name "Scottib". She is extremely accurate with a gun and has a habit of shooting at the target's right eye.
Not only can she accurately snipe Kaito Kidd who is gliding in the night sky in the dark, she can even easily aim at Conan's right eye with a pistol. In Hayashi Yoshiki's view, this is an independent third party with no black or red background and a killer with considerable ability.
But what's interesting is that the English code name of Scorpion is Scorpion, which means "scorpion". I don't know if it has any connection with the organization in the zoo.
