Bang!
A gunshot suddenly rang out, echoing through the stone-paved street and startling the birds perched in the surrounding treetops into flight.
Everyone who had still been taking pictures was startled by the sudden sound.
Conan was the first to recover. He immediately sprinted toward a house beside the street where the gunshot had come from.
Fujino and Iori Muga instinctively looked around, checking their surroundings in case someone suddenly rushed out at a time like this.
"Another case happened..."
"We came to Kyoto, and there was a gunshot right away."
"What an especially unique welcome ceremony."
"As expected of Conan World. There was never a moment of peace."
After making sure no Beika resident was about to suddenly leap out and ambush him at point-blank range, Fujino could not help grumbling internally.
Conan was the first to discover the body.
It was a corpse lying in the study of a Japanese-style villa.
The deceased was an old man with graying hair, dressed in a kimono. Blood gushed from his abdomen, soaking through the garment. A hunting rifle and a hood had fallen beside him, while several books that had fallen from the nearby bookshelf were scattered above his head.
At his feet was an owl specimen that had fallen to the floor...? And in the corner of the room stood an especially heavy-looking safe.
There was a gunshot dent in the safe's door, with a brass bullet embedded in it.
Apparently, some genius had once tried to blast open the safe with a gun.
Fujino swept his gaze across the room when a System Task notification suddenly appeared before him.
