Because the hospital and police had been notified in advance, almost as soon as they got off the plane, the ambulance quickly loaded the two captains, who had recovered slightly, and Maki, who had finally collapsed during landing, onto the ambulance and sent them to the hospital.

Jiang Hang wasn't worried that the antidote would be discovered, since the two captains did indeed have some cyanide residue in their bodies, and even tests would show mild poisoning symptoms.

Besides, the treatment for cyanide in this world is still the same old methods. Severe cases are incurable and result in immediate death, while mild to moderate cases are treated with gastric lavage and conventional antidotes.

It's impossible to find his Ke Xue antidote.

In short, after saying goodbye to the captains and seeing Sakai Natsuki, who looked gloomy as she was led off the plane by the police, Jiang Hang couldn't help but shake his head.

Normally, an attempted murder by poisoning would only result in about ten years in prison, but with a reduction in sentence, it could be released in about seven or eight years.

But the fact that they caused trouble on an airplane, almost killing all the passengers, has made them a serious criminal.

Ten years can turn into indefinite imprisonment; no matter what, he'll have to spend at least twenty years in jail.

However, she had already achieved her goal of revenge.

When the ambulance took her away, Maki was already in a coma. Although modern medical technology could most likely save her, the recovery period would be quite long.

At least for the next year or two, the other person will definitely not be able to perform on stage anymore.

"So you've already figured out that the gem is fake?" Before disembarking, Conan stood behind the person disguised as Kaito Kid and asked him.

“Yes, I sensed it when I first came into contact with that gem,” Kaito Kid shrugged helplessly.

Because having Conan sit in the front passenger seat was still a bit too worrying, the flight attendant obviously went out to ask the passengers again.

He was unsure whether he had been poisoned by his previous contact with the virus, so he decided to join Jiang Hang and Conan in piloting the plane and check if he had been poisoned.

Fortunately, he only kissed the fake gem. Although his hands may have been contaminated with some toxins, as a competent phantom thief, he naturally wore a layer of disguised thin gloves to prevent himself from leaving fingerprints at the scene so easily.

Therefore, Jiang Hang only gave him a look, which reassured him a lot.

However, his younger brother does indeed have a very keen sense of smell.

Jiang Hang probably hadn't revealed anything about him, yet his younger brother had already figured out his identity.

Under such circumstances, even if the gem is real, and even if Maki doesn't encounter any crisis during this trip, it seems difficult for him to calmly take the gem and leave.

Fortunately, the agreement he made with Jiang Hang should still stand.

Jiang Hang will help find what his father didn't finish back then, and in return, he will help Jiang Hang find someone during their trip to Hokkaido.

In that case, his trip to Hakodate wasn't entirely in vain.

In the current situation, the only one who probably feels somewhat awkward is Kogoro Mouri, who accepted the invitation to come to Hakodate.

The person who invited him, Maki, is now in the hospital, and the other members of the crew also had many embarrassing secrets revealed during the fight between the two women. They certainly have no mood to hold any more parties now, and they all left after getting off the plane.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri, who remained behind, looked at his daughter and her friend with a helpless expression.

Now that no one's treating us, what should we do next? Sleep here for the night and then go back?

Chapter 549: The Legend of the Star Prism Blade

With Sonoko Suzuki around, the second daughter of a conglomerate who never had to worry about money, Kogoro Mouri's worries were quickly dispelled by Sonoko's generosity.

While Jiang Hang was still receiving thanks from the airport staff, Suzuki Sonoko expressed her regret at not being able to attend the gathering, indicating that it would be impossible to see Kaito Kid again at tonight's event.

As a loyal fan of Kaito Kid, Sonoko Suzuki always maintained complete trust in him, even though he had suffered several losses at Jiang Hang's hands, she only thought that Kaito Kid was letting her off the hook.

She firmly believed that Phantom Thief Kid's actions last night were merely a bluff; he hadn't actually gotten close to the gem all night, so he would definitely make another move.

That's what she thought too, which is why she went to Hakodate with Ran by plane.

In some ways, she is similar to Inspector Nakamori; she does indeed know quite a bit about Kaito Kid in certain aspects.

However, Maki Juri is now in the hospital due to poisoning, and it's likely that Kaito Kid won't be appearing again.

Since we're already here, it would be too boring to just go back now. We've already taken time off to travel, so we might as well stay a few more days.

So Sonoko Suzuki then started thinking about the attractions and ski resorts in Hakodate, and booked several rooms for herself at hotels near Hakodate. After dealing with the police, she planned to take everyone there.

She also took the initiative to invite Jiang Hang and the first-class passengers who had been downstairs. It wasn't until the plane landed and they saw the ambulance and police cars below that they learned what had happened upstairs—the Miyano sisters.

However, these matters had already been arranged by Miyano Akemi. Apart from Conan wanting to stay in Jianghang to find out what other moves he and Kaito Kid were planning, the two sides had virtually no similarities in their schedules for the next few days.

Before being taken away by Kogoro Mouri, Conan only knew from Akemi Miyano that they were planning to go to Goryokaku the next day, and that was all he knew.

So, will Phantom Thief Kid's next target be in Goryokaku, or will Phantom Thief Kid investigate something related to Goryokaku?

However, after today, it will no longer be a full moon night. Considering that Kaito Kid usually operates on full moon nights, this seems a bit unreasonable.

Jiang Hang mysteriously stated that he didn't know either.

The Phantom Thief Kid disappeared shortly after the plane landed, only giving him a particularly disgusting look before leaving, and then inexplicably patting his head. It's unclear what that guy was planning to do.

However, Conan also plans to find an opportunity to investigate Wulingguo's matter and see if he can figure out Jiang Hang and the others' purpose.

Seeing Conan being dragged away by Kogoro Mouri, Jiang Hang just wanted to finish the thank-you speech at the airport and the police questioning as soon as possible.

For a detective, especially a renowned detective like him, solving cases doesn't take much time. Instead, the time spent negotiating with the police and giving statements at the police station far exceeds the time spent solving cases.

They were supposed to be able to get to their booked hotel to rest by 8 o'clock, but Jiang Hang ended up staying at the airport and the nearby police station until 11 o'clock at night before he could get away.

Fortunately, the police in Hokkaido were quite polite; after completing the questioning, they even drove him back to his hotel themselves.

It was only after returning to the hotel that he had time to send a message to Kuroba Toichi to ask what unfinished business he had left in Goryokaku, Hakodate, that his son was still thinking of helping him clean up the mess after all these years.

Not long after, he received a strange diagram of a katana from Toichi Kuroba.

It looks like an ordinary samurai sword, but the most eye-catching part is the tsuba, which is deliberately made into a five-pointed star shape.

According to Kuroba Toichi, this is the final mystery. Once the secret on this sword is solved, the whereabouts of a "treasure" that was hidden away back then can be found.

Although Kuroba Touichi didn't reveal any more information, Jiang Hang only needed to look at the knife the other party sent him and do a quick online search to find out its origin.

The Star Prism Blade seems to have some connection to Hijikata Toshizo, the famous vice-commander of the Shinsengumi a century and a half ago.

However, it would be normal for him to be associated with Hijikata Toshizo.

After all, Hakodate is the place where Hijikata Toshizo died in battle, and his statues can be seen in many places in Hakodate.

In short, it should have been during the six months after Hijikata Toshizo captured Goryokaku and garrisoned it that a swordsmith forged a total of six star-shaped swords based on Goryokaku, and these swords have been passed down to this day.

Although these star-shaped swords seem to have been used only once in history by Hijikata Toshizo, it is unknown when it began to circulate that the star-shaped swords might hide the last treasure of Hijikata Toshizo and the Shinsengumi.

Jiang Hang naturally held a pessimistic attitude towards such rumors.

After all, when Hijikata Toshizo arrived at Goryokaku, the Shinsengumi had already fallen apart. If there were any treasures left behind, they should have been distributed as military pay at that time. How could they have been left to be searched for by later generations a century and a half later?

Anyway, even if there really is some treasure, at most we'll find some military treatises or last letters left behind by Hijikata Toshizo.

Based on this speculation, Jiang Hang asked Hei Yu Dao Yi again, asking if he had actually found the so-called treasure back then, but simply chose not to reveal it.

Toichi Kuroba's abilities and personality are definitely superior to Kaito Kuroba's at present. He is a top-tier figure on par with Yusaku Kudo. In addition, the two of them occasionally engage in mutual praise and collaboration. Jiang Hang really can't imagine what kind of mystery could stump them in the Conan and Kaito Kid movie, as long as they don't touch the red lines of certain organizations and forces.

Of course, the most important point is that with Jiang Hang's hacking skills, he can easily find some traces of the six star-shaped knives circulating in the market and know roughly where some of them are kept.

This is the only one that appears to be the only genuine Hoshinobi sword actually used by Hijikata Toshizo, but it is difficult to find information about it online, and it seems to have been lost many years ago.

So, the fact that Kuroba Toichi was already able to take pictures with the Star Prism Blade clearly indicates that the missing Star Prism Blade most likely ended up in his hands.

It's unclear whether it's still kept at Kuroba's house or taken to the foundation for collection.

"Just consider it a small test for my child as a father."

"The time should have been postponed a bit more. After all, he is still too immature in my opinion. It wouldn't be a problem for him to run into some obstacles in Wulingguo. Please take good care of my child."

"As a thank you, I can provide you with some information that you probably haven't been paying attention to yet."

Chapter 550: Sonoko Suzuki Accepts the Challenge

Although Kuroba Toichi didn't say it explicitly, he had already hinted at it quite clearly.

One possibility is that he actually discovered the secret behind these star-shaped blades back then, but due to some reasons, it was made to appear as if he hadn't found it.

The other interpretation is that this is a test he left for his son to deal with when the time is right.

Does the fact that the timing isn't right yet mean that the Star Prism Blades that serve as clues aren't all in Japan right now, so even if Kaito Kid racks his brains, he won't be able to find the location of the final treasure without sufficient evidence?

Jiang Hang did a quick online search and found that in the past two years, several Star Prism Knives had been bought by a Dubai oil tycoon at auction as collectibles. Although the prices weren't too high, getting them back would probably be quite troublesome.

As for the other swords, apart from the True Star Prism Sword that Kuroba Toichi sent over, which he has now hidden somewhere, the rest should be in the hands of a local merchant in Hakodate whose ancestor greatly admires Hijikata Toshizo.

Jiang Hang examined the photos and found that, apart from the True Star Prism Blade that Kuroba Touichi had given him, which had a five-pointed star-shaped tsuba, the tsuba of the other blades were all oddly shaped and had nothing to do with five-pointed stars.

Based on Jiang Hang's experience, since Hei Yu Dao Yi only sent over the blueprints for this True Star Prism Blade, does that mean Hei Yu Dao Yi believes that as long as he has this blade, he can find the final treasure?

In other words, the likely purpose of those knives is to be put together, use the clues to find the whereabouts of the real Star Prism Knife, and then use the puzzles on the real Star Prism Knife to solve the mystery of the true treasure?

Thinking about it this way, Kuroba Toichi was indeed quite polite, at least he skipped the step of needing to go abroad to buy a sword for him, and he thought that he only needed this blueprint to solve the final mystery.

"This isn't just digging a hole for his own son, it's also a way for him to see my capabilities," Jiang Hang said, scratching his head as he looked at the blueprint on his phone.

Therefore, riddle writers should also get out of mystery works.

I wonder if he hates puzzles in games? Jiang Hang is the type who spends at most half an hour on a puzzle level, and if he still can't figure it out after a longer time, he'll just go online to find a walkthrough.

Although his thinking became much more flexible after becoming a detective, he still struggled with riddles, which were dominated by the questioner's subjective ideas.

So, after looking through the pattern, Jiang Hang decided to find a few external brains to help him.

He then passed the diagram and the historical events related to the Star Prism Blade to the Miyano sisters and Conan in turn.

He also didn't forget his two assistants in Tokyo and his biographer.

They've been immersed in the world of Assassin's Creed these past few days, so they should be quite familiar with that exploration system where the map is full of question marks. Maybe they can help find something out.

If he weren't so familiar with Vermouth, he would have at least sent the email to her so she could help him put in a little more thought.

In short, when faced with these questions, Jiang Hang decisively stated that it concerned a legendary samurai sword, a secret treasure from a hundred years ago, and that the blueprint was needed to find the treasure hidden around Wulingguo.

......

Seeing Shiho Miyano gritting her teeth at her phone, Akemi Miyano smiled.

"Isn't this great? Since he's willing to share these mysteries with you, it means Jiang Hang wants to search for these treasures with you. This kind of treasure hunt, which isn't stressful, is a great way to strengthen your relationship."

In response, Shiho Miyano waved her hand, indicating that her sister still didn't understand Jiang Hang.

"I think he definitely sent more than just this to me; he probably sent all of this information to other groups as well."

The reason is simple.

She and her sister received the message around the same time, and the message did not directly address them by name.

Shiho Miyano could tell at a glance that this was clearly a mass message from Jiang Hang, and she didn't even know who he had sent this question to.
