…

Four o'clock in the afternoon, Kyoto.

Within the core stronghold of the Yamaguchi-gumi.

Due to the intervention of the Kyoto Prefectural Police Section 4, the Yamaguchi group and the Mudshenhui were in a state of truce during the day, each resting in their strongholds, waiting for the arrival of night.

Shinoda Ryosuke was resting in his room, with several close friends guarding the door.

In a nearby guest room, Akenosuke Fukuda looked at Masizumi Kishiguchi in front of him and asked, "So, there are no clues yet about where Masazo Sakura hides his stolen goods that Mr. Yunwen asked you to find?"

"Uh...that's right." Masaizumi Kishiguchi nodded and said helplessly, "Sakuzo Masazo is really good at hiding. The people from the intelligence team have only confirmed that his stolen goods should be hidden in a temple.

But which one it is is still under investigation... In addition, someone assassinated Hattori's leader last night, and part of our intelligence team was sent to look for relevant clues, so..."

"Well, really?" Akenosuke Fukuda nodded slightly, and then asked, "I heard that you killed two brothers last night to help the Hattori leader, right?"

After Fukuda Akinosuke finished speaking, Kishiguchi Masizumi nodded and said sternly: "That's right, two brothers had their throats slit by that bastard..."

Hearing this, Akenosuke Fukuda stretched his hand back, and a strong man behind him immediately handed a black box to Akinosuke Fukuda's assistant.

Putting the box on the tatami, Fukuda Akenosuke opened the box and saw stacks of Fukuzawa Yukichi neatly placed inside. Then Fukuda Akenosuke said:

"These are the settlement fees for the two brothers. Keep them and hand them over to their families on my behalf!"

Kishiguchi Masizumi said "Ah!": "Mr. Fukuda, what are you doing? Our Yamaguchi-gumi brothers will naturally receive pensions from our own Yamaguchi-gumi..."

"Mr. Kishiguchi, you misunderstood." Akenosuke Fukuda explained with a smile, "Your Yamaguchi-gumi gave it to you, but strictly speaking, these two brothers died for the younger brother of Conan's leader. If we, the Sumiyoshi Association, have nothing to say,

, will be laughed at by the people on the road——"

"——So we, Sumiyoshi, will prepare another settlement allowance for the two brothers, which is a token of our gratitude."

"This... okay." Hearing that this matter involved the Sumiyoshi Association's reputation on the road, Masaizumi Kishiguchi knew he had no choice but to refuse and took the suitcase.

Seeing this, Fukuda Akenosuke smiled again and said: "...Also, when the settlement allowance is distributed, please do so in the name of Leader Conan..."

"Well, are Mr. Fukuda trying to build a reputation for benevolence and righteousness for Leader Conan?" Masaizumi Kishiguchi was slightly taken aback, then said that he knew the matter well, and at the same time said with emotion, "Mr. Fukuda has done so much for Leader Conan,

If he knew, he would definitely be grateful!"

The two people were talking when suddenly they heard a knock on the door.

Kishiguchi Masaizumi said "come in", and then he saw a younger brother opened the door and walked in. He said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Fukuda! Hello, Mr. Kishiguchi!"

After the younger brother greeted him twice, Masaizumi Kishiguchi nodded slightly, and then asked, "Is there any news?"

"That's right!"

The boy nodded, and then immediately replied: "The news our intelligence officers just scraped out, a poison dealer on the road said that he met a regular buyer not long ago and bought some adulterated poison from him.

He bought a mixture of aconite poisons and asked him if these poisons could be used on bows, arrows and blades - according to the dealer, the buyer had practiced bows and arrows, and seemed to have started practicing kendo recently..."

"Yeah?"

Asked if poison can be applied to the blade, and also learned how to use bow and arrow and kendo...

This is highly consistent with the clues mentioned by the leader of Conan!

"What's the name of that buyer? Have you found him?" Masaizumi Kishiguchi asked immediately.

The boy said: "The buyer's name is Kawada Sawao. He is twenty-six years old. He has no job for the time being and is staying at home. We asked his friends and his friends said that he suddenly became a disciple half a year ago.

I joined a kendo sect, and it has been mysterious since then. They can’t tell what sect it is specifically..."

"Heh...are you at home?"

Masaizumi Kishiguchi stood up and smiled fiercely, with a terrifying smile on his face: "...Then let's go visit!"

"Okay, Brother Ankou!"

The younger brother responded, Masaizumi Kishiguchi turned to look at Fukuda Akenosuke, and was about to plead guilty and leave. Fukuda Akenosuke also stood up and said: "Mr. Kishiguchi, let me go and have a look too... Well, anyway,

Being idle means being idle..."

"This... okay, Mr. Fukuda."

Masaizumi Kishiguchi hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, then pointed at the box containing the settlement allowance and said:

"...This is the settlement money that leader Conan has prepared for the two brothers. You should find a place to keep it first, and then send it to the families of the two brothers when you are done!"

"Ah? Leader Conan also gave me an extra allowance for settling down?"
