Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 933 Just Do It!

Seeing that a new passage seemed to be opened above, Conan decided to climb up.

This is an upward slope, but the surface of the slope is not smooth.

If you are an adult, due to your weight, it is still difficult to use limited friction to fight against the slope, and you must borrow tools.

But Conan is a child, and it is still possible to climb up the slope without using tools when the friction force is basically unchanged.

He took a position under the rock wall, crawling like a spider on the slope, trying to spread his weight as much as possible.

After climbing up the slope for about ten meters, we came to a vertical passage, about two meters high.

Unless it is Spider-Man, there is really no way to climb up.

There was no way, Conan used his two feet and one hand as a fulcrum, and with his free hand operated the watch-shaped flashlight to shine upwards, wanting to see what was above.

The light diffused in the darkness overhead, which appeared to be a stony enclosure.

The space above the head and the underground labyrinth are connected by a trap door, and Blind Guess will fall if he steps on it.

Conan glanced at the left and right open trapdoors again, only to find a glass bottle stuck to one of the doors.

There is a black thing in the glass bottle.

Conan moved to the side of the bottle while maintaining a prostrate posture, and as soon as he grabbed the bottle, his body stood on the slope with the glass bottle glued extremely firmly.

He unscrewed the top plug, and inside was a conical black stone, which seemed to have been placed here on purpose.

"black crystal?"

The light was not very good, and Conan couldn't tell what kind it was, but it was a kind of cool stone.

He put the black crystal into his pocket, swept it around again, and there was nothing else. As soon as he let go, he stepped on the slope and slid down the slope very rustlingly.

"Conan! How is it? Is there a treasure on it?"

The three little ones immediately surrounded him expectantly, but Conan shook his head with certainty.

"This should not be a place to hide treasure, I only found this thing..."

Conan took out the black crystal from his pocket, observed it carefully under the light of the flashlight, and found that it was not an ordinary crystal.

On the surface of the crystal, there is also a small patch of gloomy green.

But even so, this thing is not worth much, it is probably just an artificial crystal.

"Oh, why is this?"

"It took so long, is the work in vain?"

As soon as they heard that it was not a treasure, Mitsuhiko and Genta immediately lost their breath like a football.

Conan looked at the black crystal in his hand, frowned, thinking about the reason behind it.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Maybe it's not in vain...

"Mitsuhiko, do you remember the puzzle? Let me hear it again."

"Wait a minute, I'll look for it..." Guangyan took out a small notebook from his pocket and read: "When the horns on the bull's head disappear and the tail becomes a head, an angel will come from the sky..."

"stop!"

Conan suddenly called to stop, with an excited expression on his face.

"That's it, I understand!"

"I understand the meaning of the puzzle..."

As one of the two brains of the Detective Boys, Conan took Mitsuhiko's notebook and wrote a big "ox" on it with a pen.

"Actually, 'The horns on the bull's head disappear' refers to the Chinese character 'niu'. If you remove the dot, it becomes '午'."

"In the Chinese zodiac, 'wu' stands for 'wu horse', which symbolizes the direction due south and the time is noon at noon."

Conan compared the "treasure map" again, and said: "From the direction of the route indicated on the treasure road, we should be on the south side of the Angel's Pavilion now, and it is very likely that we are under the Southern Angel."

"I guess the upper space can be opened at 12:[-] noon. Go inside and get this black crystal, which is the first part of the puzzle..."

Qin Zhibo, who was standing on the other side of the rock wall, was listening to Conan's reasoning and knew that it was right.

Although Conan didn't expect the linkage between Chinese character decryption and the twelve zodiac signs at the first time, his ability to use the answers to reverse the problem is not bad.

Let Conan get the fake Panest fragment, and he is half successful.

The next step is to let Mr. Clock get the fragments at the right time, without hurting the youth free group.

……

On the way back to the East Pavilion, Conan passed the human skeleton and checked it carefully.

But the result was the same, nothing that could prove the identity was found.

If there is no investigation result, the only way to find out the identity of the deceased is to return to the ground, wait for the police to come, and slowly check the previous missing persons.

As soon as the group got out of the fireplace, Ayumi came over to ask.

"Conan, what should we do next?"

Hui Yuanai also asked very trustingly: "Edogawa, have you already solved the next puzzle?"

"Yes."

Conan nodded with a serious expression, but then changed the topic, "However, it is still 5 hours before the end of the time, and it is impossible to find the treasure."

"Why?" The three little ones said in unison.

Just as Conan was about to explain to several people, the door of the room opened suddenly, and a figure stood alone at the door.

It's Mr. Clock.

All the young detectives were shocked, like a bad child who was caught by an adult after doing something bad.

"Everyone, why are you here?"

A man in a gray suit stood at the door, and slowly entered the room after his voice fell. The dark sunglasses reflected everyone's faces.

Jun's face under the sunglasses is expressionless, but instead gives people a strange sense of fear.

"We're solving a puzzle. We found it inside just now..."

Yuan Tai just wanted to explain to Mr. Zhong what they had just gained, but Conan blocked Yuan Tai's words with a big hand.

"We tried to find some clues about the puzzle below, but we didn't find anything~"

Conan smiled innocently, and the skills of cos elementary school students have been perfected.

But Mr. Clock just stood there quietly, staring at the crowd expressionlessly, and did not respond to Conan's words.

After a while, he took half a step forward, and Conan subconsciously reached out to protect the three little ones behind him.

Seeing Conan's obvious defensive intention, Mr. Zhong didn't go any further, but turned around slowly on the spot, turned his face and said to several people.

"Lunch is ready, it's time to go back and eat..."

After speaking, Mr. Clock left from the door.

Seeing Mr. Clock leave, Conan lowered his arms protecting the people behind him, but his eyes were still sternly watching Mr. Clock's leaving back.

In terms of seeing people, Conan has always thought that he has good eyesight.

For example, before and after the crime, Conan can often find out who may be the murderer by observing a person's micro-expression.

This is similar to a detective's intuition, and Conan's intuition is often more accurate.

But in the face of this "Mr. Clock", there are not many things Conan can see through.

This person used a lot of camouflage, the code name "Mr. Clock", the sunglasses that never took off, and the expression that never showed a clear meaning, a complete "poker face".

It is this kind of inability to see through that makes Conan, a detective who is good at seeing through people's hearts, subconsciously take extra precautions.

But from the perspective of evidence, he still cannot fully confirm that Mr. Clock is a bad person.

At this time, Guangyan who was standing behind said: "Don't you think the clothes on Mr. Zhong's body are very similar to those of the skeleton?"

"That said, it seems to be." Ayumi was not sure.

Conan recalled that the clothes worn by the underground skeleton were a gray suit. Although it was very worn out, it was indeed similar to the clothes worn by Mr. Clock.

But what does this mean?

After thinking for a while, Conan decided to go back to the North Pavilion for dinner first, and then think about the next countermeasures.

……

Back at the North House of Life, the Detective Boys began to have lunch.

Although it was a little unpleasant just now, Conan is not worried that Mr. Clock will tamper with the food.

Because no matter whether the clock is a good guy or a bad guy, for whatever reason, you need to wait for someone to solve the puzzle first and find the treasure left by Isekawa Gozo.

In other words, as long as the puzzle remains unsolved, everyone is safe.

After lunch, Yuan Tai was still not full.

Conan pretended to continue thinking about puzzles with the Boy Detectives, but never put forward any constructive suggestions.

Because since the end of lunch, Mr. Clock has been sitting in the dining room, watching everyone non-stop.

He is not leaving.

Conan felt the sense of oppression coming from under the sunglasses, but he didn't choose to say anything, and continued to discuss puzzles with the Boy Detective Team, one or the other.

In fact, he has already thought of the answer to the puzzle.

The so-called "tail becomes head" refers to replacing "south" and "noon" in the first sentence of the puzzle with "north" and "zishi".

In the pedestal of the Northern Angel at midnight, you can find the treasure left by Isekawa Gozo.

It's just that by that time, the 24 hours stipulated in the will have already passed.

Because of this, Conan's suspicion of Mr. Clock also deepened.

Because the time when Mr. Clock found them and entrusted them to help Yuriko Matsunaka solve the puzzle was just after noon and before midnight.

This means that those who challenge the puzzle will not be able to solve the puzzle within 24 hours anyway, and will always be one step closer.

Mr. Clock can take this into consideration, which means that he should have solved the puzzle of the first sentence, but he can't think of the answer to the puzzle of the second sentence.

So set a time trap in this way, let other people solve the puzzle, but because there is not enough time to verify the second sentence of the puzzle, you can't get the treasure.

In this way, he can get the treasure himself.

Because he is one of the many heirs appointed by Gozo Isekawa...

Conan looked at Mr. Clock sitting on the chair vigilantly, and he already had some certainty about this person in his heart.

It's just that I don't need to say it now. When the police arrive, I will find out.

But by the way... why hasn't the Gunma prefectural police come here for so long?
……

A little bit of time passed, and it was already night outside the window.

Qin Zhibo hid in a hidden place in the Angel's Pavilion, quietly looking up at the sky tonight.

As the sound of "thump thud" sounded in the four directions of the Angel Pavilion, four high-power searchlights began to operate, and four beams of light began to sweep across the hall.

Qin Zhibo stared at the beam of light above his head, which seemed to be operating according to a certain established procedure, rather than randomly "drawing pictures" in the night sky.

As a result, Qin Zhibo's hiding place will never be swept by searchlights.

And like this kind of mansion, the searchlights generally deal with threats from the ground, and the light should mainly focus on the ground.

But the strange thing is that the searchlights of the Angel's Pavilion often shine on the sky, the heads of other angels, and the distant forest, places where thieves will never go.

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo realized something.

He remembered the secret language investigation's explanation of the second riddle, and finally understood it all.

For this kind of complicated riddle, the explanation of the secret language investigation is not concise, and it still looks like a riddle after the explanation.

But seeing the operation track of these searchlights, Qin Zhibo also understood the key to the puzzle.

With the key solution to this puzzle, Qin Zhibo also thought of a good plan.

……

North Pavilion, restaurant.

From afternoon to evening, the police still did not come.

Now, Conan no longer complained about the speed of the Gunma County Police, because they didn't take his elementary school student's report seriously at all.

hateful!

Baga road!
Conan was so angry that he breathed out in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

I was picked up directly from school without a bowknot voice changer, so no one would believe me if I called the police again.

Unless you look for the rookie policeman from Gunma County, Yamamura Fuck.

Although this person is also extremely unreliable, at least he has followed Mori Kogoro a few times, so it should be fine if he calls the police.

It's just that Mr. Clock is watching very closely now, as if he has made some kind of determination.

In order to maintain this delicate balance, Conan does not intend to act rashly now and have any conflicts with Mr. Clock.

After all, there are hostages everywhere here, which is too dangerous.

Conan glanced back at Ayumi, Ayumi, Ayumi and the others.

That being the case, he pretended he didn't know anything, and when the time came, he could only let the young detectives go home.

At that time, let Uncle Maori come over again, and ask the police to come back and investigate.

When Conan was thinking about his plan after leaving the Angel's Pavilion, a series of brand new ideas suddenly appeared in his mind.

One, the tail becomes the head, referring to the northern angel corresponding to the southern angel
Two, angels will descend from heaven, referring to the rays of other angels shining on the northern angels
Three, blowing the horn is to use black fragments to create a projection similar to the horn

Four, Just Do It!

what is this! ?
Conan didn't understand why this series of reasoning about puzzles suddenly appeared in his mind, and it was almost different from what he had thought before.

But anyway, let's verify it first.

He turned his head and stared out of the window, observed for a while, and found that the Northern Angel would be irradiated by the Eastern Angel's searchlight light every once in a while.

That's it!

The second sentence puzzle has no time limit at all!
It's 6 o'clock, and there's still half an hour to find the treasure!

With a confident smile on Conan's face, he ran to the door of the restaurant and greeted everyone loudly.

"Everyone come with me!"

　Thanks to the pianist of fate for the reward!
