However, in less than ten minutes, the photos of Zhang Han on his phone changed again!

Jiang Hang's figure reappeared in the photos that he had searched through countless times without finding him.

Although the image of Jiang Hang inside was not the same figure that had just appeared on the sofa, it was indeed the image he had casually glanced at when he received the photos of those thugs!

Looking at these photos that had returned to normal, Takuzo Onoe's eyes went completely blank at that moment.

Was everything he just experienced really just a figment of his imagination due to his own schizophrenia?

Chapter 567: Hijikata Toshizo and the Moon

"how can that be possible?"

"How could I possibly have schizophrenia?"

"Could it be that I've been too obsessed with the secret treasure lately, putting too much pressure on myself?"

As Takumi Onoe clutched his head, Conan, who was eavesdropping behind the corner while trying to convince himself and questioning his existence, basically understood the current situation.

It seems that Takuzo Axe really did go and find someone to deal with Jiang Hang.

Obviously, with Jiang Hang's skills, there's no way he could have any problems in a place like this.

The most likely outcome is that all the men he sent were dealt with by Jiang Hang.

And now, he has begun his revenge plan.

The method used was to take the item he had that could be used to block and modify all networked devices in the vicinity.

After all, who would have thought that someone could directly modify the footage captured by surveillance equipment in real time via the internet?

The person who took the wine was indeed Jiang Hang. It's estimated that Jiang Hang really did threaten and intimidate the other party.

Then, Jiang Hang hid himself using his elusive stealth skills before they arrived.

Combined with the footage from the surveillance cameras, it's impossible to tell that it was Takumi Axe.

Conan himself was so shocked by the prank that Jiang Hang and his parents teamed up to prank him that he almost had a heart attack.

Not to mention that Jianghang has now adopted this new technology.

Even now, if Conan were to be suddenly pulled off such a stunt by Jiang Hang without his knowledge, he would probably wonder if he was hallucinating.

Seeing Takumi Onoe looking utterly bewildered, Conan couldn't help but silently pray for him for a few seconds.

Why did you have to provoke Jiang Hang of all things?

Anyway, Conan isn't planning to go out and deny the rumors. Who knows what other moves Jiang Hang might make?

If he ruins Jiang Hang's plan and ends up getting implicated as well, he can't outmaneuver that perverse guy, Jiang Hang.

Let this guy continue to doubt himself for now.

Anyway, he'll only worry for a day or two at most. Once he's tired of Jianghang and leaves Hakodate, Takuzo Axe will realize that he actually has no problems.

As for whether the other party will scare themselves sick in the next few days?

He deserved it.

Conan stopped listening as he heard Takumi Axe making a phone call, urging the person on the other end to quickly resolve Jiang Hang's matter and ideally capture him alive and send him to him.

Noticing that Takumi Onoe and his bodyguard had finished their conversation and were about to return to the living room, Conan also went back to the living room first.

Sonoko Suzuki and Kogoro Mouri are still there discussing whether or not to tell Jiang Hang about their discovery.

They seemed completely unaware that Conan had just disappeared for a few minutes.

It's probably only Ran who would notice Conan and subconsciously cover for him.

Sonoko Suzuki and Kogoro Mori ultimately decided to ignore Jiang Hang for now, since they were currently engaged in a treasure hunt competition themselves.

They would call Jiang Hang after they found the treasure themselves, giving him a surprise.

Back in the living room, Takumi Fukie listened to their discussion and tentatively asked Sonoko Suzuki about Jiang Hang.

Sonoko Suzuki did not reveal Jiang Hang's background.

After all, Jiang Hang himself doesn't usually act as the heir to the Pioneer Foundation. It's only when those people investigate Jiang Hang's background and ask him that he passively admits it.

According to Jiang Hang's own explanation, if he, as the heir, wants to truly obtain the right of inheritance, he still needs to go through many troublesome tests, and he himself is not confident in completing these tests.

Moreover, unless absolutely necessary, he cannot obtain assistance from the foundation or mobilize its members.

In other words, there's no need to mention Jiang Hang's identity to those who can't find out about it.

Even if the name of the Pioneer Foundation were revealed, they might not know anything about the organization, so there's no need to reveal its identity.

Furthermore, Sonoko Suzuki herself was more accustomed to the identity of a wealthy young man from Jianghang who gave up his family business to become a detective.

Although she had some reservations about Jiang Hang's involvement with her uncle in targeting Phantom Thief Kid a few months ago, she wouldn't say anything bad about him now.

Therefore, when questioned by Takuzo Fukie, Sonoko Suzuki simply stated that Jiang Hang was a very capable detective and also quite wealthy.

Tokie Takuzo was initially a little uneasy when he heard this. Could it be that Jiang Hang was backed by a conglomerate on par with the Suzuki family?

But Conan quickly "debunked" the rumor.

"Brother Jiang Hang is really amazing. Besides his strong detective reasoning and observation skills, he's also a great driver. I felt like he drove that AE86 faster than those sports cars!"

Sonoko Suzuki glanced at Conan, thinking it was a bit strange that the kid was suddenly bringing up this kind of thing, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

"He's a really good driver, but I've never actually ridden in his 86. When I get back to Tokyo, I'll ask him to take me out for a ride."

Kogoro Mouri nodded in agreement.

Although he hadn't ridden in Jiang Hang's car many times, he had heard stories from Yokomizo Sango, a policeman in Saitama Prefecture, about Jiang Hang's high-speed chases to capture fugitives in Saitama Prefecture.

A police car sped from the city center to the outskirts of Saitama Prefecture at almost full speed just before the evening rush hour, when there were still many vehicles on the road.

So much so that the Yu County police had to hold a press conference afterward to explain the situation.

It's even said that many racing enthusiasts are still trying to recreate the conditions Jiang Hang ran in those places, attempting to break his record. In short, they're exaggerating Jiang Hang's driving skills to an incredible degree.

This mentions something that even Takumi Fue seems to recall; there were indeed similar videos of police cars racing online a while ago.

So the person driving was Jiang Hang?

He was initially hesitant about how rich Jiang Hang could be, but after hearing that the other person's car was an 86, he immediately became confident.

What level of car is the 86?

Does this old, beat-up car even deserve to be compared to it?

Although I am still a little nervous about the possibility of schizophrenia.

But Takuzo Fue knew even more clearly that if he and the Fue family really went bankrupt, his mental problems would probably be beyond saving.

As long as he could find the treasure, he felt that his mental problems were nothing at all.

So he continued to inquire about the treasure, wanting to know how far their research had progressed.

Hearing that Takumi Onoe's attitude toward the treasure seemed to have become much more urgent, Conan knew that this guy was scared by Jiang Hang, but Sonoko Suzuki and Kogoro Mouri shook their heads.

"We're still here trying to figure out what these four symbols mean, and it probably won't be a while before we find out."

At this point, Takuzo Fue was indeed getting anxious. Seeing the others staring blankly at the patterns, he gritted his teeth and said, "Speaking of which, I think I have something in my family that was left over from my grandfather's time. It looks like a codebook. I don't know if it's related to the secret treasure, but I'll still take it out and show it to you."

That coded diagram was actually the most crucial thing, and the secret that truly troubled his father his whole life, yet he was unable to figure it out.

It's called a cipher diagram, but it's actually just a chart of the 48 kana used in the old days. Compared to the modern 50 kana, it has some missing elements and the order is scrambled.

The table has numbers at the top and left as serial numbers, which are essentially coordinate axes.

"In other words, if the secret of these four patterns lies in this chart, then at least two numbers are needed to determine a pronunciation."

"With only four patterns, there are at most two pronunciations. Is this chart really related to the treasure?" Kogoro Mouri looked at the fake name chart in front of him, and had some doubts about it.

Takuzo Akase couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Why is this guy named Kogoro Mouri so troublesome? Does he really have to say that this watch was given to him by his grandfather and then passed on to him by his father?

If it were really that easy to find, his father would have found the treasure decades ago; why would he have waited until today?

Judging from what Suzuki Sonoko just said, this guy seems to be a detective on par with Jiang Hang, which makes one really doubt how much of this so-called famous detective's reputation is genuine.

Takuzo Akie didn't dare to lose his temper here. Sometimes he even wanted to pretend to be a schizophrenic so he wouldn't have to put up with these idiots.

In any case, no matter what happens, it seems that it can be attributed to another personality.

Takuzo Akie thought to himself.

However, he was still thinking about the treasure, so he kept reminding his other personality that it was best not to come out now, and that it would be better to wait until after he got the treasure.

Conan was also looking at these charts and pondering.

He could sense Takuzo Akie's underlying meaning; this chart must also contain key information.

But now four figures have been discovered.

What do the five-pointed star, the circle, and the two semicircles represent?

"Could it be the moon?"

Just then, a voice suddenly appeared at the doorway again.

The people in the room immediately turned their gaze toward the doorway.

"Ah Sheng?" Takumi Axe was taken aback.

Wasn't the plan to have him wait for Jiang Hang outside? Why is he suddenly coming in now?

Could it be that he has already taken care of things in Jianghang?

This is certainly good news.

That wouldn't be so good now.

Because Sonoko Suzuki is still here.

This was definitely something that couldn't be done in front of Suzuki Sonoko, so he quickly gave Fukujo a wink, signaling the other party not to say anything out of line.

So much so that he didn't even notice that the man in front of him, Fukushiro, didn't seem to be carrying the two swords he had brought with him, and that he had changed his clothes at some point.

However, Takuzo Onoe would naturally not notice such a thing.

However, Sonoko Suzuki's eyes gleamed as she looked at Sei Fukushiro.
