I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

The Kingdom of Vesbania.

This name was completely unfamiliar to the Flying Dragons.

He didn't even know if there was such a small European country as the Kingdom of Vesbania.

But as the saying goes, the world is full of wonders, so even if such a special mineral truly exists that can completely disable electronic devices, he wouldn't find it strange at all.

If a master mechanic from the science and technology field were to ask this question, they might say that physics no longer exists.

He will not.

There are far more bizarre things in the mystical realm than this, so he naturally doesn't care about these little things.

Feilongshi didn't ask any more questions, but instead gestured for Chen En to come inside and talk in detail.

The wooden mechanical beasts flew and frolicked around them as if they were alive, so lifelike that one couldn't help but wonder whether the wooden mechanical beasts had transformed into the shapes of birds and beasts, or whether the birds and beasts had been made into wooden shapes.

After they were seated, Flying Dragon Master personally served them tea before speaking earnestly.

"So that's why you wanted me to come and help you."

“If that’s the case, then there’s no problem. But we’ll have to wait a while longer because I have some things to take care of in Osaka Prefecture and can’t get away for the time being.”

These words surprised Chen En somewhat.

He had just heard what Feilongshi said and thought that Feilongshi didn't intend to help the Suzuki Foundation manufacture those mechanical beast weapons, so he deliberately declined to go to Tokyo.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't a refusal at all, but rather that he genuinely had matters to attend to in Osaka Prefecture and couldn't leave.

What is it that the Flying Dragons absolutely need to deal with, and that even the Suzuki Foundation can't resolve?

Are you going to take two water pipes, a roll of duct tape, and a power trigger to make a makeshift gun and then shoot the former prime minister of the Ooka family?

Chen En took a sip of tea, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He still couldn't get used to these traditional green teas.

It might be because he drank too much coffee...

However, he didn't show it on his face at all, and just asked in a low voice.

"In that case, could you please explain what exactly needs to be addressed?"

"Although the Suzuki Foundation may not be able to help you resolve this matter, I may be able to. After all, I have some connections in Osaka Prefecture, and if all else fails, I am also somewhat skilled in martial arts."

Do you also have people in Osaka Prefecture?

These words elicited a strange expression from Flying Dragon Warrior.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Chen En.

Rather, it's because the relationship between the Kansai and Kanto regions has always been poor, which has led to frequent friction between the Ooka family in the Kansai region and the Suzuki Group in the Kanto region, resulting in constant competition between their industries.

The Ooka family looked down on the Suzuki Group, considering them nothing more than rich country bumpkins.

As a result, the Suzuki Group's influence in the Kansai region has been severely suppressed, but now Chen En claims that he also has connections in the Kansai region? Doesn't that seem a bit too absurd?

Although Feilongshi doesn't pay much attention to financial news, he knows that Chen En is the chairman of Chen En Enterprise.

Chen En Enterprises was actually established with the support of the Suzuki Foundation.

Theoretically speaking, Chen En Enterprises' network of connections is less than or roughly equal to that of the Suzuki Group. How could it be so absurd that a branch group has a wider network of connections than the main group?

Although Feilongshi felt that Chen En probably couldn't be of much help, he still coughed twice and said directly.

"To be honest, my ancestor once traveled to Tang China to practice mechanical arts for the emperor."

"Afterwards, we received a precious gem as a reward from that emperor. Later, when our ancestor returned to the capital, he passed down the gem that the Tang emperor had left behind as a family heirloom from generation to generation."

"Even though they have now moved to Osaka Prefecture, they have never been lost."

"But during the time I was in Tokyo, when I came back, I found that the gem I had hidden was missing. Therefore, I was determined not to leave Osaka Prefecture until the gem was found."

"Otherwise, I would be ashamed of my ancestors..."

Chapter 1170 It's not that technology is unaffordable, but that mystery offers better value.

...The gem is lost?

Upon hearing this, Chen En was taken aback.

He pulled out a cup of coffee from somewhere, took a sip, and then tentatively asked.

"You probably don't have the habit of showing off your jewels, do you?"

What if it gets used for some kind of exhibition or something?

Maybe they've been attacked by Kaito Kid.

I'll bring two salted fish with me and I'll take care of things for you.

Otherwise, things could get a bit complicated.

To this, Flying Dragon simply shook his head and said seriously.

"Of course I don't have that habit."

"Not many people know about the existence of this gem, and I have visited each of them who do know about it, but they all claim to be completely unaware of it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so clueless now."

"But if I had to say, I think it was the work of some professional thief gang."

"Otherwise, I don't think an ordinary thief could possibly bypass the many wooden mechanical beasts I placed here and steal my treasures. Even if wooden items are not as lethal as iron items, they shouldn't be so useless as to be unable to guard the house."

After all, this is Japan, not the United States.

It hasn't reached the point where everyone carries a gun yet.

Unless it's Beika Town.

...A professional gang of thieves?

Upon hearing this, Chen En's thoughts shifted slightly.

The number of notorious thief gangs in this world is quite large, like leeks, one batch after another is harvested and another batch comes. Moreover, each of them committed crimes many years ago and was recently discovered to be killing each other.

However, if you were to say it's a professional thief gang active in the Osaka area...

According to Chen En's memory, there should only be two.

One of the eight members of the Taiko group was moving with the goal of obtaining the Tiger Scroll left behind by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The Taiko Eight operated under the codenames of eight prominent figures closely associated with each other during Japan's Sengoku period. Ultimately, they turned on each other because of the Tiger Scroll incident, and Hattori Heizo eventually eliminated the remaining members.

The other branch is Genji Hotaru, whose main target is Buddhist statues.

Unlike the Taiko Eight, whose codenames were based on eight famous figures closely associated with Japan's Sengoku period, Genji Hotaru's codenames were based on several historical figures who spread out from Minamoto no Yoshitsune.

In addition, there may be other professional thief gangs mentioned above.

But it probably didn't appear in any famous works.

Chen En only remembered the characters in the famous works, and he didn't remember the so-called thief gangs that appeared in the later episodes. Therefore, he could only find another opportunity to investigate.

His idea was to find another opportunity to investigate, rather than directly investigating the Taiko Eight or Genji Hotaru.

Naturally, this is because the former is completely focused on the Tiger's Scroll and doesn't care about trivial gems at all.

It should be noted that the Tiger Scroll was supposedly made by Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself, the Taiko, and points to the location of the Taiko's secret treasure. Its value is far beyond what any gemstone can compare to.

The latter, even if it hasn't disbanded yet, is on the verge of disbanding.

Because Genji Hotaru is a group of thieves who appeared in the movie Crossroads of the Labyrinth.

Its purpose is to find Buddhist statues in the Osaka area.

Just like the gang of thieves that Hattori Heiji had previously contacted to take down in advance the incident that caused the shipwreck in the movie "Skyfall," but on a smaller scale and with even worse skills.

Furthermore, their leader, Minamoto no Yoshitsune, had already passed away.

After that, the gang was constantly fighting amongst themselves.

They probably don't have the time or inclination to focus on other people's gems.

Chen En nodded slightly at this moment and finally spoke.

"I understand. I'll investigate further later."

"If all goes well, I should be able to retrieve your gem within five days at the latest."

Can the gem be found in just 5 days?

Young people shouldn't be so arrogant; speaking so confidently is never a good thing.

Flying Dragon was somewhat skeptical.

After all, he had been searching for the gemstone here for almost half a month without any clue. How could an outsider find the gemstone within 5 days?

But as the saying goes, you can always try your luck, no matter what.

Whether this young man is reliable or not, it's still a path forward.

Therefore, Feilongshi did not try to persuade him, but instead spoke directly.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you."

"As long as you find the gem, I will go back to Tokyo with you immediately."

"As for what exactly that gem looks like..."

He made the wooden mechanical bird next to him fly into the room.

Before long, the mechanical bird returned carrying a scroll.

Flying Dragon Master turned on the screen.

What came into Chen En's view was a picture of a gemstone.

And it's in that damn ukiyo-e style.

Chen En's gaze lingered briefly on the ukiyo-e style gemstone, then he looked up at the Flying Dragon Warrior, glanced down at the ukiyo-e again, paused for a moment, and then spoke.

Do you have any photos?
