Akutagawa readily paid the remaining balance, went to the professor's underground laboratory, and brought out the brand-new modified motorcycle. Professor Agasa immediately beamed with joy, carefully placing the small piece of paper into his inner pocket as if it were a precious treasure.
The next morning, Akutagawa Hiko rode his stylish black and gold motorcycle, which hadn't changed much in appearance, and followed the professor's Beetle to the starting point marked on the treasure map.
Because the space for luggage in the doctor's Beetle was so small that it was practically useless, a lot of the luggage was tied to the roof. In other words, he was driving in the woods, otherwise he would definitely have been stopped by the traffic police.

Akutagawa accelerated, bringing him level with Professor Agasa, who was driving: "Professor, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your hood?"
1?
Good Year is an inventor with exceptional hands-on skills, but this Beetle has experienced numerous breakdowns and other accidents, and now the hood has even popped open during a bumpy ride.
Dr. Agasa laughed heartily: "Hahaha, don't worry, this old buddy has been with me for so many years, he's very sturdy."
It's only after owning a car for so many years that I start to worry. The accident rate of an older car is definitely much higher than that of a new car.
The reason why Kogoro Mouri's car often breaks down halfway and then he encounters a case is not only due to the presence of Conan, who is called a plague god in the original work, but also because he rents old vehicles to save money.
However, since Professor Agasa said so, Akutagawa Hiko had no choice but to trust this great inventor.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and the group arrived safely at the location of the White Bone Tree.
Here stands a hollow white tree; the hollowed-out parts resemble a skeleton or a ghost mourning.
It looks somewhat like the trees in the forest outside Wolfsburg, after they've turned albino.
It is known that this treasure map was drawn by Yusaku Kudo shortly after Shinichi Kudo was born, shortly after the withered rhizome tree that stood here at that time.
It has retained its shape from that time to this day, which is truly astonishing.
With everyone's combined efforts, the tent was quickly set up. Conan, standing to the side, looked helplessly at the treasure map in his hand: "Seriously, I'm not a real child anymore, why do I have to play this kind of treasure hunt game?"
Ai Haibara chuckled lightly: "What, does the great detective look down on these children's adventure games? Isn't it nice to come out and play with these cute kids?"
Seeing the two of them talking about something, Yoshida Ayumi puffed up her cheeks like a steamed bun, her mouth practically drooping with oil: "Conan, Ai, what are you talking about? Come over and help us figure out the route!"
Genta Kojima and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also had a good impression of the cute black-haired girl who had just transferred to their school; it's normal for people to like good-looking people.
"Yes, yes, as members of the Junior Detective League, we should work together!"
Genta Kojima was already fantasizing about how he would spend the treasure he found, and unsurprisingly, his first thought was food: "What could the treasure be? It must be jewels, right? Then I'd have endless eel rice!"
While Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also looks forward to delicious food, he has a grander ambition: he wants to buy a space shuttle to explore the universe!
Unfortunately, in the current world of Detective Conan, although advanced technology abounds, airplanes capable of transporting people through space do not exist. Therefore, they choose to settle for second best: "I want to eat all the world's finest cuisine!"
Unlike some parents who belittle these "superficial" dreams, Dr. Agasa encourages them.
"Anyway, we're currently near the Bone Tree, so let's set our sights on London Bridge next."
The three real children raised their hands and cheered three times. They then pulled along Ai, who looked reluctant but was very well integrated, and Xiao Ai, who was more proactive but more distant, and embarked on a treasure hunt.
After watching the children leave, Akutagawa Hiko took out a crystal ball the size of a human head, injected chakra into it, and the scene of the group of five people appeared inside.
"Wow, it's so clear! It's like floating above them and watching them."
Professor Agasa was very interested in the crystal ball and the so-called telescope technique, but since he hadn't made much progress in his research on chakra, he naturally wouldn't jump straight into it.
"That way, we won't have to worry about emergencies."
The route on the map was winding and twisting, but for Akutagawa Hiko, who could fly and travel in a straight line, each point was actually not far from the White Bone Tree where he and Professor Agasa were.
If any problems arise, Akutagawa Hiko can arrive instantly. However, Akutagawa Hiko believes that as long as those two don't draw their guns and shoot the moment they see Conan and the others, there won't be any problems.
After being trained for so long, Conan can escape even if he can't handle something unless he hits a real ceiling.
As for these two robbers and thieves, who were lacking in both intelligence and fighting skills, they were easily defeated.
Professor Agasa took out a fishing rod and even set up a barbecue grill: "Let's have a fishing contest, and then we can grill the fish while we wait for the kids to come back."
This includes Shinichi and Shiho, who are considered children even if they hadn't shrunk.
Akutagawa Hiko had no objection. In his previous life, he had never fished, so he really couldn't understand those fishermen who kept coming back empty-handed but were still persistent.
He really couldn't understand the mentality of those who, when they really couldn't catch any fish, would pull out a water plant or scoop up water from the lake and say they had no "no fish" mentality.
Now that he's trying it himself, he wants to see what the magic of fishing really is.
Bait the hook, cast the line, and now it's all about waiting for the fish to bite.
Dr. Agasa is very talkative and not afraid of scaring the fish away with his voice: "Hiroshi, after taking the medicine you made, I feel a little itchy on my scalp. Is it because my hair is going to grow?"
After saying that, he scratched himself.
It's normal for the scalp to itch during hair regrowth. Wait, "Doctor, you said you took those medications?"
Dr. Agasa nodded: "Yes, I followed the prescription strictly. That last lump of medicine paste took a lot of effort to swallow."
Akutagawa Hiko sighed and rubbed his forehead: "This medicine is for external use. Although it won't cause any problems if you take it orally, the effect won't be obvious."
"Wrong? Oh, I see!"
Professor Agasa clenched his fist and tapped his hand, thinking that because he was an old man, the effects would be slower.
Suddenly, Akutagawa Hiko's fishing float twitched.
Next, Akutagawa Hiko, still in his novice fishing protection period, caught fish one after another, much to Professor Agasa's astonishment, until finally falling silent as he looked at the two small fry in his bucket.
