Chapter 261: Kaito Kid, hand over the gold

"Hmph, that Kaito Kid, he only knows how to cause trouble." Conan frowned.

He looked at the calm Akaso Kaze and suddenly had a thought.

"Brother Akaso, did you know where the criminal was all along?"

This kid finally came to ask.

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly and asked in return, "Is there any place on this island you haven't searched yet?"

Conan frowned and pondered.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place."

Akaso Kaze gave a final hint, then took Ran and walked away.

Conan's eyes lit up instantly.

The most dangerous place is none other than the Naval Cave.

He turned around and ran off.

One hour later, Naval Cave.

Goro Kinoshita held a pistol and laughed loudly.

"Little guy, that Onmyoji must have told you I was here."

"Unfortunately, he didn't come himself, otherwise I would have had to surrender obediently."

"Now, Hamada is dead, and Yasuo Uehara is dead. In this world, only I know where that gold is."

"As long as I kill you and throw your body into the sea, no one will ever be able to find that gold."

"And I just need to wait until everyone forgets about this, and I can secretly transport the gold away and live a happy life from then on."

"Where is that gold?" Conan asked, pretending to be curious.

"Gold? Of course, it's right under my feet!"

Goro Kinoshita's eyes shone as he stepped on the steps made of bricks.

In the woods in front of the Naval Cave, Kaito Kuroba was secretly observing the situation at the entrance.

After escaping from the big men, Kaito Kuroba wandered around the island while thinking about where the naval treasure was most likely hidden.

After thinking it over, Kaito felt this place was the most suspicious.

First, this Naval Cave is where those naval forces were killed four hundred years ago.

They chose to attack this cave; the jewel is likely hidden inside.

Second, the naval ghosts emerged from inside; perhaps it was because of that jewel.

But it seems that Onmyoji just spent half a day inside yesterday.

Could that guy have already found the treasure's location and dug it up?

Damn it! If the naval treasure was dug up by that guy, it would be incredibly difficult to steal that jewel from his hands.

Kaito Kuroba felt depressed thinking about this.

Regardless, he had to go into the cave to confirm the situation.

"There are only three people guarding the front of the Naval Cave."

Kaito Kid observed the distribution of the islanders, a smile on his lips.

Half a minute later, Kaito Kid avoided the gaze of the islander guards and successfully sneaked into the cave.

"With this level of defense, it's too easy to sneak past; there's no difficulty at all."

Kaito Kid muttered triumphantly, hands in his pockets, walking around the cave to observe the situation.

"Huh? Something's wrong."

Inside the cave, Conan frowned as he looked at the steps under Goro Kinoshita's feet.

"This soil is clearly new. I'm afraid the gold you mentioned has already been taken by someone."

"What? That's impossible!"

Goro Kinoshita panicked, squatted down, picked up a brick, raised his pistol, and smashed it down.

*Crack. *

The brick broke into two pieces.

The cross-section was gray and dusty; there wasn't a shadow of gold anywhere.

"How can this be? Where is my gold?"

Goro Kinoshita jumped off the steps and forcefully pried up one brick after another. ===== CHAPTER 263 =====
