The world of science is unscientific

"That won't do, you'll catch a cold."

Yusuke Suzuki took the umbrella, opened it, and took out the rope he had just used.

"What...what are you going to do!?"

Conan instinctively stepped back, but was grabbed back by Yusuke Suzuki.

Two minutes later, Conan looked very unhappy with a sullen face.

Yusuke Suzuki actually tied the umbrella to himself with a rope!

At the same time, Hattori Heiji also stated their current reasoning, "So, it's still more likely that it was murder."

"By the way, have all of the deceased's belongings been found?"

"We've found it, it's right here."

Officer Otaki led everyone to a different location. "There's a wallet, a watch, a cell phone, and an unidentified piece of debris... and what's this painting?"

"what is this?"

Inspector Otaki unfolded the scroll, which had been partially burned. "Why is there only one character 'dragon' written on it?"

At that moment, Suzuki Yusuke turned around and saw that the four people in the tour group all looked surprised, so they must know something.

"That fragment...could it be the same thing as the fragment found on the charred corpse in that previous murder case?"

Kazuha Toyama and Ran Mouri walked over; the former still remembered the unidentified fragment.

“I remember last night, my dad and your dad were talking in the car about this. There was the number '848' on a piece of debris that was found 13 years ago.”

848?

8848?

Yusuke Suzuki quickly stopped his thoughts from wandering off course. However, since Kazuha Toyama had mentioned it, and it was found on a charred corpse, it must be related to the current case.

Then Toyama and Hazuha mentioned the words "an immense treasure".

Blackie naturally had to bicker with the energetic girl, while Suzuki Yusuke went straight to Conan, who was still examining the unidentified fragment.

Is this gold powder?

Yusuke Suzuki noticed a faint reflection behind the fragments. Seeing Conan turn around, he continued, "When you two found the deceased, he should still be alive, right? Didn't he leave any information about his death?"

"He didn't say it out loud," Conan scratched his head and recalled, "but he grabbed the umbrella handle from Heiji's hand before he died."

At this moment, Hattori Heiji also came over and said, "So now we need to consider the meaning behind his action."

"The umbrella is associated with rain."

"The only thing that comes to mind when you think of rain is the Dragon and Tiger Stones of Osaka Castle."

Conan and Suzuki Yusuke both looked at the black-skinned man.

How did you make that connection?

"What, you didn't know?"

Hattori Heiji was somewhat surprised and was about to explain when Suzuki Yusuke took the painting directly from Officer Otaki.

“If there’s hidden information here, it’s nothing more than splashing water or baking it with fire,” Yusuke Suzuki said, spreading the scroll out under the rain. “We’ll find out if we try.”

"Looks like I'm pretty lucky."

Before long, new content appeared on the paper.

"Looks like there really is a treasure."

"Yes, it's hidden somewhere in Osaka Castle."

Blackie and Conan came over to take a look and got so excited that they each said something.

Just as Suzuki Yusuke was trying to calm the two guys down, he heard someone in the back of the crowd saying things like, "Don't do anything for now," and "The police won't be leaving for a while."

Plotting out loud?

He got up and saw that it was the fat old man making a phone call; he hadn't gone far.

They really don't even try to avoid people, do they? The most outrageous thing is that there was a policeman standing just a few steps away from this old guy.

Arrest directly?

Forget it. There's no evidence, and no crime has been committed. Even if he said he overheard the phone conversation, given how deaf everyone around him seemed, his words would probably be useless.

What do I do when I suddenly lose all motivation... I could have arrested someone right now if everyone around me were even slightly more normal.

Conan and Kuroko are already discussing with Inspector Otaki, while Kazuha Toyama and Ran Mouri offer inspirational remarks from the sidelines.

As for Kogoro Mouri... he's like a lonely patient torn between his own desires.

Yusuke Suzuki had composed himself and was ready to go over and continue investigating the case, but then he saw the four members of the tour group standing right next to Conan and the others, listening in.

All the reasoning results I had just obtained were shared away for free.

Open up!

Before long, Ginjiro Toyama arrived with an umbrella and seamlessly joined the group chat.

"Chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, what are you doing here!?"

Officer Otaki was slightly surprised to suddenly see his superior.

“I called him,” Kazuha Toyama admitted. “He was the one investigating the case from 13 years ago, and the headquarters is nearby.”

Then she looked at Heiji Hattori, "And if we don't get him to take over, you'll probably be tied up again this time. I found a really nice restaurant the other day, let's go there for dinner."

"What kind of talk is that?! A murder happened right in front of me, how could I be in the mood for that?!"

Yusuke Suzuki was startled. Just now, the black man's head had suddenly become huge, bigger than three or four durians put together.

He hadn't seen this phenomenon in a long time, and having gradually gotten used to his current life, he was quite startled when he first saw it.

Suddenly, he saw the gaze of Toyama Ginjiro again, and the surrounding air turned cold. Was this the aura of the older generation? He admitted that he had underestimated the world before.

The black-skinned man was the primary target of Director Yuanshan's gaze. He immediately quieted down, his head returned to normal, and his tone became incredibly gentle.

"In my opinion, you don't need to worry about me. Why don't you go have dinner with Xiaolan first? Okay... okay?"

"Forget it if you don't want to eat."

Kazuha Toyama turned and walked away, but Yusuke Suzuki stepped forward and said, "I'll go too."

Conan and Heiji Hattori were both a little confused. They just slipped away like that? Weren't they supposed to be investigating the case together?

Chapter 182 We're the Same

Before the three of them had taken two steps, Toyama Kazuha turned back to look at Kuro, a smile on his face.

"Let's go quickly, the food at that restaurant is really good."

"hold on."

Yusuke Suzuki walked back with the umbrella, silently tied it back up for Conan, and casually reminded him, "If you're not holding an umbrella when I come back, you know what will happen."

"I...I know."

Only after confirming that Suzuki Yusuke was out of sight did Conan remove the umbrella again.

My detective skills are waterproof!

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Yusuke Suzuki quickly ordered a lot of dishes.

"You called your father here because of Hattori, right?" Ran Mouri rested her chin on her hand, looked at Kazuha Toyama and smiled. "Because since your father knows so much about the details of this case, he can tell Hattori any information he wants immediately."

"And you even used that ambiguous attitude to cover it up."

"This...this is because..." Kazuha Toyama hadn't spent much time with Yusuke Suzuki yet, and was a little shy, "It's because I want to see Heiji's bright smile every time he solves a case."

"Thinking about it, I was really stupid..."

Ran Mouri, with the air of someone who'd been there before, said unhurriedly, "Yeah, it was absolutely stupid."

"Absolutely stupid..."

“Yeah, you’re just as silly as me,” Ran Mouri said, her face flushed. “To be honest, I always feel that Shinichi will have the same expression on his face after solving a case.”

"But he can only watch that kind of thing..." Ran Mouri turned her head to look, "Conan, are you also...?"

But all she could see was Yusuke Suzuki eating heartily.

"Oh no, we completely forgot about Conan. Yusuke, didn't you ask Conan to come with you when you went back?"

“He won’t come. The case is more appealing to him,” Yusuke Suzuki said, gulping down a plate of pasta. “It’s alright. He’s with Heiji. The teacher and the police are there. Nothing will happen.”

“That makes sense…” Ran Mouri nodded, then steered the conversation toward him, “By the way, Yusuke-nii, were you on the phone with your girlfriend this morning?”

"Ah."

They just admitted it outright!?

Both girls were a little surprised; they thought Suzuki Yusuke would find another excuse to cover it up.

"So, what kind of girl is she?"

Kazuha Toyama took the lead in asking questions, becoming the first to share the story.

"Eat your food properly and don't meddle in adult matters."

Kazuha Toyama: (｀へ?)

Ran Mouri: <(－︿－)＞

The light rain continued unabated. The three of them left the restaurant after finishing their meal.

Kazuha Toyama originally planned to take the two of them to sing karaoke, but Ran Mouri was still worried about Conan, so the three of them simply came back.

"With police coming and going here now, nothing else can possibly happen."

The three of them climbed the stone steps onto the bridge. Just as Kazuha Toyama's flag was raised, a figure on the bridge set himself on fire right in front of them.

The figure then fell into the river.

Just then, another small black man ran over holding an umbrella, and turned and ran away after seeing them.

Yusuke Suzuki had already pursued Kuro several times, so he had experience and simply didn't make a move.
