Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 438 The Secret of the Name

Kanagawa.

Mr. Ke, who had already left Yokosuka Castle, sneezed.

"Conan, are you okay? Was it too cold in the castle earlier?"

Seeing Conan like this, Xiaolan, who was behind him, quickly took out a piece of paper and covered Conan's nose.

"I, I'm fine, Sister Xiaolan~" Conan washed his nose and said cutely.

Dr. Agasa turned around and said with emotion: "However, this treasure hunt was really smooth. Everyone is fine, and Kaito Kidd did not appear again."

Conan: "..."

This sounded as if they had not been very successful in their previous treasure hunts.

They successfully found another egg of memories hidden in Yokosuka, and it has been confirmed that it is the relic of Natsumi Kosaka's ancestors. When combined with the original egg of memories from the Suzuki family, it becomes a photo album that can only be seen by light.

Since the egg of memory, which is the outer shell and can also trigger the mechanism, is considered the legacy of the Kosaka family, and the egg of memory inside belongs to the Suzuki Group...

So, following Kaito, Kogoro Mouri decided to carry forward the virtue of being helpful and took the initiative to propose to find President Suzuki, who is also Sonoko's father, Shiro Suzuki, to ask for the egg to be transferred to Kosaka Natsumi.

——Anyway, the Suzuki family is not short of money, right?
This time, Suzuki Sonoko and Suzuki Shiro also came to Kanagawa, but it was impossible for the chairman of a consortium to go on the expedition. Besides, the fact that they were coming to Kanagawa was no secret. When some local businessmen saw the big guys coming, they rushed over to join them, either to invite them to dinner or for business exchanges. Suzuki Shiro had to take his little daughter with him to deal with various situations.

However, the three members of the Junior Detective Team, who had originally planned to find the treasure before Conan, failed to seize the initiative and were very dejected. Dr. Agasa had to turn around and comfort the three little ones.

The "commission" here has come to a successful conclusion, and coupled with the not-so-nice weather and typhoon warning, the group is also preparing to return home.

After Conan learned from Professor Agasa that Haibara Ai didn't want to go out for some unknown reason, he felt helpless about the fact that his friend was becoming more and more of a homebody.

However, now Conan has learned to reflect on whether he should also stay at home more.

——The main reason was that Conan was a little scared when he ran into Gin three times in Osaka yesterday. In addition, the fortune he drew at Namba Hotei Shrine made him feel scared all day long...

Fortunately, Gin didn't seem to have discovered his identity.

Thinking of this, Conan breathed a sigh of relief, but then he remembered something and glanced at Dr. Agasa secretly. He did not choose to tell him, but secretly hung behind the team, took out his mobile phone, and started calling another revolutionary teammate:

"Hello? Hattori, did you find anything in Osaka today?"

"Kudo! Ah... We didn't find anything, and there weren't any suspicious people or incidents. Kidd doesn't seem to be here anymore."

Hattori Heiji's voice was a little muffled.

Conan looked around carefully and lowered his voice, "What about the dock? It's the place I told you about last night..."

"There, we did find something." Hattori Heiji lowered his voice on the phone, "There are a lot of scattered bullets on that iron stand... The strange thing is that there are no marks on those bullets, and there are no bullet marks nearby, but they are indeed bullets that have been fired. I don't know why they are distributed there so strangely..."

"Oh, by the way, there's a cut on one of the bullets. We don't know how it got there..."

Strange distribution... cut marks...

The two details went through Conan's head, but they didn't provide him with any answers, so he decisively stopped struggling in vain, "Then let's ignore this for now... Hattori, I have a guess."

Hattori Heiji paused, then asked, "What? What guess?"

"I suspect that Kaito Kidd." Conan said seriously, "It is very likely that it is Vermouth!"

"Vermouth?!" Hattori Heiji was obviously shocked.

Conan had told him about Vermouth before.

However, after being shocked, Hattori Heiji was also a little bit unbelievable, "But, didn't you say that Huibara's sister told you that Vermouth was a female devil?"

(Ai: I'm talking about the Thousand-Faced Witch!)

But Kaito Kidd is a man!

"Ah... that's right, but Huibara also said that no one knows the true identity of that female devil." Conan's analysis was well-reasoned, "and similarly, no one knows the true identity of Kaito Kid... What's even more suspicious is that these two people can disguise themselves!"

Hattori Heiji pondered for a while, and then became serious: "Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."

"besides……"

"besides?"

"Both names end with '德'!" Conan clenched his fists.

There must be some connection between these two!
Hattori Heiji:"……"

Such a strong reason, he couldn't refute it at all!
However, Hattori Heiji discovered another suspicious point: "But, Kudo, didn't you fight against that Kaito Kidd several times before?"

If these two are really the same person, why did Kudo only discover it now?
Conan was silent for a while, and thought of a reason: "Because, when I met that guy before, I didn't know there was such a person as Vermouth."

In other words, he only knew the name before and had no idea what characteristics Vermouth had. He only learned about the Thousand-Faced Witch after he had fought with Kaito Kidd several times.

"Now that you mention it, it makes sense..." Hattori Heiji was obviously convinced, "Well, in this case..."

"Well, if I have any news about Kaito Kidd, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Conan felt a little heavy in his heart.

This equation is still in a theoretical state and must be verified by attempts.

As he was thinking, Conan suddenly said, "By the way, Hattori, there is one more thing..."

“…What is it?”

There was a rustling sound on the phone. It should be Hattori Heiji taking notes with a pen.

Conan whispered: "It's Mr. Lin, and those two names..."

Hattori Heiji also remembered: "Oh! What you mean, there is indeed a pattern in these names. Why don't you ask Mr. Lin and the others directly?"

"... Ask directly?"

Conan frowned slightly.

He was afraid that there might be some bad connections, so he had not looked for Mr. Lin, and he was also afraid of alerting the enemy...

"Yes, after all, you are very familiar with Mr. Lin, right? And according to what you said, those two people showed up openly, so I don't think they are bad people."
