Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 142 Jianggu Ling’s melancholy

What he wants to tell parents is: Don’t look at the young age of these little kids, they are very smart.

In other words, they knew exactly what they were doing and even considered certain consequences.

To put it simply, these kids know everything, yet they still choose to do what worries the adults the most. Although their average age is only six or seven, their main character is rebellious.

Hey, if you have the ability, just beat me to death, otherwise you will just have to worry about it!
Almost all parents had the above words in their minds after listening to what Tachibana Shizuka said, and the looks they gave their children became increasingly unfriendly.

Seeing that these understanding parents understood what he meant, Tachibana Shizuka left the police station quietly and without a trace of turmoil.

As we all know, the description of being unworldly is usually associated with giving money, so although Tachibana Seiji did not bring any worldly airs when he left the police station, he took away two police officers, Shiratori and Sato, from the Investigation Division.

"So Shizuka, do you really know where Kaba hid the maple leaf gold coins?" Sato Miwako was eager for the upcoming treasure hunt. She had never tried such a real treasure hunt before or after becoming a criminal police officer.

"Officer Shiratori, did you bring the treasure map Kaba made?"

"Here, here." Officer Shiratori took out the evidence bag, and the note recording the location of the maple leaf gold coin was in it.

"This treasure map looks simple, but it's actually not difficult." Tachibana Seiji shook the evidence bag in his hand and said:
"An Italian man named Kabane hid gold coins somewhere in Tokyo. Could this picture be what he saw along the way?

After all, he couldn't possibly write down the details in Italian; if he did, his men might not report him and would just kill him."

Shiratori drove with Tachibana Shizuka to the foot of Tokyo Tower, which is also the first pattern on the treasure map.

"If nothing goes wrong, this tower pattern is Tokyo Tower. But what does the moon next to it mean?"

Sato frowned and looked at the treasure map in her hand in distress. She was not very good at situations that required radio waves.

"Is it possible that this moon simply refers to the night time?" Furi Rei felt that he had almost figured out the thinking of this gang of robbers with unusual thinking patterns, and tentatively suggested to Tachibana Shizuka.

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Shizuka nodded immediately: "I thought so too. Perhaps this treasure map is not that complicated after all."

Tachibana Shizuka flicked the treasure map with his finger and looked at the Tokyo Tower behind him.

As the sun sets, the streetlights turn on, and the neon signs on the surrounding buildings light up one by one.

Following Rei Furuya's idea, Tachibana Shizuka and his three companions began to search for the treasure. Soon they found the hiding place of the gold coins marked "oro" on the treasure map.

"This should be it." Sato Miwako stood under the street light and carefully distinguished the pattern on the note from the neon sign of the building.

The final conclusion was that both patterns looked roughly the same, and there was no other neon pattern nearby that looked more similar.

"According to the treasure map, the Maple Leaf Gold Coin is hidden in the building. But what's the meaning behind the fish pattern?
Looking for a place in the building with fish?"

Miwako Sato was a little crazy. The feeling of stopping halfway through is not pleasant for both men and women.

The so-called "inch-long stop" brings more of a feeling of boredom and discomfort to the heart.

"There's no need to be so entangled." When Tachibana Shizuka saw Sato Miwako like this, he knew that she was at the scene as usual and was deeply influenced by the detective.

Who are these people?
Two detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department, a special agent from the National Police Agency, and Tachibana Seiji, an older high school student with several murders on his hands.

It could be said that they had nothing to do with detective work, with the exception of Rei Furuya. Therefore, they didn't need to follow the rules and regulations that detectives use when solving cases.

"Since the maple leaf gold coins are marked here, why don't we go in and search? Just search from the roof down.

Kabane doesn't have the time to hide so many Maple Leaf Gold Coins separately, so this is still beneficial to us."

At this moment, the four people including Tachibana Shizuka each had a flashlight in their hands. After reaching the roof through the fire escape, Tachibana Shizuka increased the light range of the flashlight in his hand.

As the light's range widened, the narrow rooftop space was instantly engulfed in light. The entire area was visible at a glance, and Tachibana Shizuka also looked up at the rooftop.

This time, Fūya Rei learned his lesson. Seeing that Tachibana Seiji kept looking up at the top of his head, he didn't ask, but just looked up as well.

Then he saw several bags, obviously filled with heavy objects, hanging from the beams.

"Is this what we're looking for?" Fūya Rei felt his mouth dry. It had nothing to do with the "maple leaf gold coin" on the beam. He simply felt that this treasure hunt was going incredibly smoothly.

Can a person's luck really be this good?

Furiya Rei pursed his dry lips, and his thoughts suddenly began to diverge - what if the Chief Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Department gave way to Tachibana Shizuka.

Could this lower the outrageous crime rate in Beika Town? This was pure magical hedging.

"That wall over there should be a mechanism controlling the device above. Officer Shiratori, please ask you and Officer Sato to put the thing down."

"Ok!"

Shiratori and Sato immediately ran to the wall and looked at the so-called mechanism. It was actually a rope hanging from the ceiling tied in a knot on the wall.

Shiratori called out and waited for Tachibana Shizuka and Furuya Rei to move away, then he untied the knot with force.

After the knot was undone, the bird didn't even have time to grab the rope, and it plummeted from the beam at noon, landing heavily on the ground and sending up a lot of dust.

Sato fanned herself at the window and went to get some fresh air. Suddenly, she stared at the river outside in a daze.

Tachibana Shizuka, Furuya Rei, and Shiratori all stepped forward, each dragging a bag in front of them and opening it.

There was no flash of tacky gold the moment the pocket was opened. In fact, the lighting level in the room was not bright enough to allow the maple leaf gold coin to reflect the golden light.

But a bag full of gold coins does look very visually impactful. Tachibana Shizuka reached into the bag, grabbed a handful, and then slowly let go.

With the crisp sound of ding-ding-dong, the gold coins in Tachibana Jingji's hand fell back into the bag on the ground.

"If nothing unexpected happens, these gold coins are the maple leaf gold coins that Kabane stole. Mr. Amuro, your office is saved!"

The look on Tachibana Shizuka's face, filled with "happy for you," gave Fūya Rei a toothache. He seemed to be saying that he didn't actually want the money.
If he gets so much money, what excuse will he have to work in Poirot Café and monitor Conan upstairs?

Sometimes it’s not a good thing for a person to be too lucky!
