In the fantasy park, Sonoko, dressed casually, stood in front of a giant doll sculpture, looking around as if waiting for someone. When she spotted Taiqin Gongyue, dressed in formal attire, not far away, she quickly waved to him.

"Cousin, over here!"

As she got closer, Yuanzi noticed Jiang Jin accompanying Taiqin Gongyue. Seeing that the man was tall, slender, and had long legs, Yuanzi's gossipy nature immediately kicked in: "Hey, cousin, who is this?"

“This is my cousin, Sonoko Suzuki. This is my junior from university…” Tai Qin Gongyue suddenly paused, realizing he hadn’t yet exchanged names with Jiang Jin. Fortunately, Jiang Jin reacted quickly, replying, “Hello, Ms. Suzuki, you can call me Hideko.”

"Oh, hello Miss Hideko." Sonoko Suzuki greeted Jiang Jin with a smile. Her eyes swept over Tadashi Yuzuki, then she suddenly pulled Tadashi Yuzuki aside and whispered, "Cousin, tell me the truth, is she really your junior from university?"

Taichin Yuzuki's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, wondering if Suzuki Sonoko had figured something out. But on the surface, he remained calm and replied, "What else could it be?"

Sonoko gave him a mischievous smile: "You're almost thirty and still don't have a girlfriend. My aunt calls my mom every few days. Of course I have to ask her."

Tai Qin Gongyue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but his face showed a helpless expression. He had assumed that the other party had suspected something.

“She’s just a junior from university, I just happened to run into her. Well, you don’t need to worry about this, Miss.” He turned to look at Jiang Jin and said, “I’m so sorry, Xiuzi, I have to go to a meeting with the amusement park manager later, so I’ll have to leave now. But, Yuanzi is here too, so I’ll ask you to entertain Xiuzi for me.”

"You can leave it to me, cousin."

Jiang Jin put on a smile and said gently, "Senior Tai Qin, you can go ahead and get busy."

After exchanging a glance, Tai Qin Gongyue turned and left. As he left, he thought to himself that Jiang Jinren was good-looking, but unfortunately not his type.

Jiang Jin and Yuanzi walked and talked. They both had VIP ID watches for the amusement park, so they went directly through the fast lane. Unexpectedly, they ran into Conan and his friends in the fast lane.

"Sonoko-neechan!" The Junior Detective Club members immediately greeted Sonoko. "Oh, Hideko-neechan is here too!"

Sonoko was surprised to see Ran and the others here, and bent over to say, "You little devils are here too!"

"Our uncle's client invited us here. He went to investigate the client's affairs, so we're waiting for him here," Ran and Sonoko explained.

"So this is ah."

Conan's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Jin. Remembering what Kogoro Mouri had said to him when they left the hotel, he asked loudly, "Hey, do Hideko-neechan and Sonoko-neechan know each other?"

“Xiuzi is my cousin’s junior from university, but my cousin went to a meeting and asked me to take care of her.” Yuanzi said, pulling on Jiang Jin’s arm. “Since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we go together?”

Xiao Lan and the three children naturally had no objections, and Jiang Jin's purpose was the same, so he naturally wouldn't object either. Dr. Agasa felt that having another garden to help him take care of these children was certainly a good thing.

Only Conan, because of Kogoro Mouri's words, was quite wary of Jiang Jin. His gaze fell on Jiang Jin's hands; the other man's hands were long and beautiful, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with them.

What exactly is Uncle Mori trying to say? What's wrong with this woman named Hideko?

After officially entering the amusement park through the fast lane, Conan received a phone call from Kogoro Mouri.

"uncle?"

"Hey kids, don't leave the amusement park! There are bombs in your ID watches..." Kogoro Mouri told Conan's client that they were being used as hostages to force Kogoro Mouri to play some dangerous game.

Conan, holding the phone, turned to Ran and the others, who were still discussing which amusement park rides to go on, completely unaware of what was going on. His expression was very serious: "I understand, Uncle Mori. I'll keep an eye on them. What was the first riddle the client gave us?"

“TAKA, 3-8,” Kogoro Mouri answered as he drove. Conan frowned slightly. “TAKA, 3-8… shouldn’t this also be pronounced as ‘three-eight’?”

On the other end of the phone, Kogoro Mouri, who was driving, said, "Then TAKA might be a place name?"

柯南点点头:“还有3-8=-5,把等号拿掉就是3-8-5了。”

Kogoro Mouri, with one hand on the steering wheel, took a map from the car: "3-8-5 is Takashima Town. I'll go there now."

Conan, sensing that Kogoro Mouri was about to hang up, quickly stopped him: "Wait, Uncle. What were you trying to say in the meeting room? Is there something wrong with Ms. Hideko's hand?"

"When I shook hands with her just now, I felt that her hands had calluses from gunshots."

"What gun cocoon!" Conan's voice involuntarily lowered as he turned his gaze to Jiang Jin. "Uncle, are you sure?"

“Of course I’m sure.” Kogoro Mouri, after all, was once a policeman and a shooting record holder, so he was still sensitive to and familiar with gun calluses. “It’s just that if the other party is a shooting athlete or has a similar hobby and handles guns all year round, it’s not surprising that they would have gun calluses. That’s why I told you to be careful, kid.”

Conan felt that this request was fraught with danger. He said to Kogoro Mouri, "But Miss Hideko is with us right now. She is Sonoko's cousin's junior at university."

Kogoro Mouri was quite surprised: "What? There's such a connection? Maybe he's just a shooting enthusiast."

Conan was somewhat reserved about Jiang Jin's identity, and Kogoro Mouri, who was driving and couldn't continue making phone calls, told Conan to keep an eye on things. The most important thing right now was to make sure everyone didn't leave the amusement park.

After hanging up the phone, Conan went over to listen to them discussing what activities they wanted to do. He glanced around and saw a small stall not far away where you could win prizes by shooting balloons.

"How about we go play that first? We haven't decided what to play yet anyway," Conan suggested.

"Huh? What's so fun about shooting balloons?" Sonoko knew Conan's identity, so she was curious why he suddenly wanted to play this kind of game.

"But I saw that they have souvenirs that are only available at fantasy parks. Anyway, we haven't decided what we want to do yet."

Jiang Jin turned his head to look; it was a shooting game. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

"It's okay. Since Conan wants to play, and we haven't decided what to play yet, it's good to get a small prize first." With that, Jiang Jin took the lead and walked towards the game stall.

The three children were quite disappointed as they hadn't managed to hit many balloons and win any prizes. Conan had practiced shooting in Hawaii, but not wanting to reveal too much, he pretended to shoot a few balloons. Then he turned to Jiang Jin with an innocent look and said, "Sister Xiuzi, you should play too."

Jiang Jin looked down at Conan, an angle that made Conan pause slightly. For a moment, someone suddenly came to mind—Shuichi Akai, the FBI investigator.

Could it be that he has some kind of relationship with Mr. Akai? Conan wondered.

"Okay." Jiang Jin took the gun from Conan and easily shot down 5 balloons without any attempt to hide it, which would earn him a souvenir.

"Wow, Hideko-neechan is amazing!" Ayumi exclaimed, clapping her hands.

Conan then seized the opportunity to ask, "You can shoot, Hideko-neechan?"

Jiang Jin put down his gun and smiled: "I only learned a little bit in Hawaii."
