Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 324 You made the wrong choice! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"Glowing fish?"

"Where on earth is that thing?"

Following Conan's footsteps, Ayumi and her group began a new journey.

But this time, they walked not on a flat road, but on high stairs.

While climbing the stairs breathlessly, Ayumi and the others couldn't help but feel confused and puzzled.

Conan did not answer their questions directly. Instead, he stood on a high place, opened the door leading to the upper floors, waved at them, and said, "Come on, come in!"

After exchanging a glance with Mitsuhiko and the others beside him, Yuan Tai couldn't help but mutter, "What! How could there really be glowing fish in a place like this!"

Yes, he admitted that compared to him, the leader of the Junior Detective Team, Conan, a small and ordinary member, was quite quick-witted.

But what a joke, this is a tall building, not in the water, how could there be any fish, especially glowing fish!

He seriously suspected that Conan was insane, otherwise, how could he say such crazy words.

Conan still did not answer the doubts in his heart, but just kept walking forward.

Because sometimes, actions speak louder than words.

Seeing this, Yuan Tai couldn't help himself, "Hey... Hey... Where is the black fish?"

“I can’t see anything!”

It was pitch black all around. Not only could he not see the surrounding environment, but he could hardly even see the figures of his friends around him, let alone the so-called luminous fish!

Is Conan playing tricks on them?

If this is true, then he will definitely let the other party know that he, Kojima Genta, is not someone to be trifled with!
As if sensing the impatience in his tone, or perhaps having found what he was looking for, Conan finally stopped, turned around and answered their questions.

"Come on, try to look outside from here. In the direction of the river."

This time, he finally found the real way to decipher the code!
After hearing Conan's words, Ayumi and the others looked at each other, somewhat confused as to what Conan was trying to say, "Hechuan?"

It is true that there are fish in the river, but Yuantai just now spent so much time fishing in the river and not only did he get nothing, he almost fell into the river and became a drowned rat.

With such a vivid example in front of them, how could they not understand that the river was most likely not the prototype of the corresponding fish pattern on the treasure map, nor was it the hiding place of the treasure.

In fact, if he hadn't realized this, Yuantai would not have given up the idea of ​​continuing to salvage by the river so easily, and then obediently followed Conan's footsteps to the top floor of this high-rise building!

But now that it has been confirmed that the river is not the prototype of the location corresponding to the seventh shape on the treasure map, nor is it the location of the treasure, why does Conan still ask them to look towards the river?
It couldn't be that the other party had overturned his previous speculation and came up with a new interpretation method, right?

Or is it that only here, looking at the river, is the true way to interpret the seventh figure?
When they were confused, everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes towards the direction of the river.

They really wanted to know why Conan suddenly asked them to climb the stairs. They also wanted to know what was in the river and why Conan asked them to look there!

Noticing their gaze, Conan nodded silently, then stretched out his finger and pointed the direction for everyone, "Yes, look, it's there."

"That's the original form of the glowing fish!"

Looking in the direction Conan's finger was pointing, the next moment, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, their eyes full of shock.

Because a fish really appeared in their sight!

"The lights of the bridge are reflected on the water, forming the shape of fish."

Ayumi's expression was filled with disbelief, "The fish's eyes are the lights of the building in front!"

She thought that Conan, her friend, must have been doing it for no reason when he asked her and others to climb the stairs and look towards the river.

There must be some intention behind this seemingly strange operation.

For example, the other party may have found clues related to the seventh figure, or made some new discoveries related to the true location of the treasure.

But she never expected that she would see a very unusual fish at this time!
A fish made up of the neon lights on the viaduct and their reflections in the water!
Looking at the glowing fish, Yuan Tai swept away his previous complaints about Conan, and his face was filled with excitement again, "So, the treasure is in here?"

There are actually glowing fish!
Moreover, is that glowing fish the counterpart of the seventh figure they are looking for?
In other words, is it the last piece of the puzzle they need to solve the treasure map?
This kind of thing is really too incredible, too exciting and thrilling.

After all, once the secret contained in the seventh figure is revealed, then all the codes on the treasure map will be revealed.

In other words, their Young Detective Team is about to get the treasure in the treasure map.

And treasure has always been associated with wealth and getting rich quickly.

——Treasure refers to wealth that is hidden or buried, usually including gold, silver, jewelry, ancient cultural relics, rare works of art, etc.

He was so excited at the thought that he would soon get the treasure, become rich, and then live a happy life with the most delicious eel rice in the world every meal.

After all, his favorite food is eel rice, and eating eel rice all over the world is also his biggest dream!

Now, his greatest wish is about to come true, and he can't help but be excited!

In his excitement, he completely forgot the slander and complaints he had previously made in his heart about his friend Conan.

Conan nodded.

As smart as he is, he certainly knows that Yuantai and others have made a wasted trip by repeatedly finding the wrong code. Even Ayumi, who has always been particularly friendly to him, will inevitably have some resentment towards him.

Not to mention, Yuantai is a guy with a bad temper.

Therefore, he could understand Yuantai's bad attitude towards him, and he would not care too much about it, let alone retaliate against Yuantai maliciously.

After all, he was not really a child, but a 17-year-old high school student. As a teenager who was about to become an adult, he asked himself if he had enough tolerance for the behavior of a child who was only six or seven years old!

No matter how naughty this kid is!
"Ah, I'm afraid the treasure is located in..."

As he spoke, he looked at the treasure map in his hand and slowly backed away, until the fish in the river, which was made up of the neon lights on the overpass and its reflection in the water, had an extra eye and became a fish exactly the same as the seventh shape on the treasure map!
"Is it around here?"

Standing where he could see the complete fish pattern, Conan frowned slightly.

Since the true location corresponding to the seventh figure has been found, where is the treasure in the treasure map?

Is it somewhere near the river? Or is it somewhere in this tall building where the fish pattern can be clearly seen?

Or maybe, somewhere near where he is standing now?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look around carefully.

Then soon, he made a discovery.

Wait, what's that black shadow?
It looks like it's tied to a rope.

Looking at the black thing on the ceiling, Conan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Oh, and wrap the rope around the raised part of the ceiling, and hang the bag of gold coins on it.

In this way, the treasure can be preserved and made less likely to be discovered, thus avoiding the risk of it falling into the hands of other people.

Thinking of this, he quickly ran to the side, stretched out his hand and shook the rope over there, and then, the next moment, accompanied by a "rustling" sound, a few golden things that looked like gold coins fell from the black mass.

Hearing the strange noise and looking at the golden objects, Yuan Tai's eyes seemed to be shining, "It's a treasure! It's a treasure!"

Great, they finally found the treasure!
Now, he can finally live a happy life where he can eat the most delicious eel rice in the world every meal!

This is really awesome!
Just as Yuan Tai ran over excitedly and wanted to pick up the gold coins, suddenly, a pair of big hands appeared in front of his sight, and then the owner of these big hands picked up the gold coins in front of him.

Next to the other person, there were two men dressed similarly in maroon.

These three people are the three men in sunglasses who have been following Conan and the others all the way.

Holding those gold coins, feeling its weight and texture, the thin-faced man with black hair and sunglasses and a black suit had a smug smile on his face.

Because it was his idea to place the hope of cracking the code on the treasure map on Conan and his group of children.

——Originally, at the beginning, Yuantai picking up the treasure map was just an accident.

After all, even they themselves did not expect that when they were checking the treasure map, a gust of wind would suddenly blow and bring it to Yuantai and others.

When they were about to ask Genta to return the treasure map, a patrolman appeared nearby. As their identities were not public, they had to give up and let Conan and the others continue to keep the treasure map.

It was originally agreed that letting Conan and the others continue to hold the treasure map was just a temporary measure, and they would take it back when the opportunity was right.

After all, the piece of paper with various drawings on it that looked like a child’s doodle was not a child’s drawing, but a real treasure map!

If you want to unlock the secret of the treasure map and get the real treasure, you must decipher the code in it, that is, crack the secret of the figures drawn on the paper.

Once you know the secrets contained in the various graphics on the piece of paper, you will be able to find the true location of the treasure and become rich overnight.

They would definitely not let go of such an important thing easily, nor would they let a group of kids like Yuantai hold it.

After all, children are too out of control.

If the other party accidentally tears up the note or loses it, they will be in tears.

However, as Yuantai and others continued their treasure hunt, especially the little boy named Conan, they gradually deciphered the codes on the treasure map, and slowly, a special idea suddenly came to his mind.

That is, don't rush to snatch the treasure map back, just leave it in the hands of Conan and others, and then let Conan, this smart kid, help them unravel the secret of the treasure map and lead them to find the real treasure.

As for them, they just need to follow each other secretly, and then stand out at the right opportunity and reap the benefits.

Therefore, he thought this method was quite good and feasible, so he decisively tried to persuade his two companions to agree to his risky move this time.

However, when he saw that Conan had repeatedly guessed incorrectly how to interpret the graphics, causing harm not only to Genta and the others, but also to their group of followers, who had made a wasted trip, his two companions began to regret agreeing with his decision and even blamed him.

In fact, not only his two companions, but even he, felt a little regretful that he should not have placed all his hopes on Conan and his group of children.

However, things have developed to this point, and he is unwilling to admit that he was wrong. He would lose his dignity in front of his two younger brothers. Moreover, when it comes to cracking the code, even if they do it themselves, they may not be able to beat Conan and others.

After all, this group of bandits were active in Italy and were not very familiar with Japan.

Even though he is Japanese.

However, the treasure location on the treasure map is very likely related to the terrain of Tokyo, Japan. In this regard, Conan and his group of native Japanese have much more advantages than them.

It was also because of this that he did not agree with his two accomplices' idea of ​​snatching the treasure map back from Conan and others. Instead, he gritted his teeth and decided not to snatch the treasure map first, but let Conan and others continue to hold it, and then they continued to secretly follow Conan and others.

Now it seems that his choice was indeed not wrong.

Because Conan and his group of friends really helped them decipher the various codes on the treasure map and led them to find the real treasure.

Thinking of this, he expressed his sincere gratitude to Conan and others.

"Thank you for your hard work, kids."
