Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 562 The Treasure Trove of Harvesting Names!
The living room fell into an eerie silence for a moment, then was filled with the sound of Da Shang Zhu Shan panting heavily.

His physique perfectly matches his title: the Gourmet Detective. He can truly solve cases while eating. Just now, when he was checking the room with Hakuba Saguru and his group, he stuffed quite a bit of food into his mouth.

At this moment, he held a pendulum about forty centimeters long in his hand.

"I thought he would go up there himself," Xia Chuan joked.

"Because this pendulum isn't 100% related to the riddle, and there's still the second part that hasn't been solved."

Hakuba Saguru said, "But it seems you guys were pretty good in the first half, you actually solved the mystery of the first sentence."

"Hehe." ×3
Conan, Amuro Tooru, and Kaito rolled their eyes together. Hakuba Saguru was quite good, but he was definitely a bit pretentious.

Forget it, let's not tell them the guess in the second part for now.

Hakuba Saguru is unlikely to have any problems, given his family background.

It's uncertain about Ikumi Gunda. This woman just received the phrase "the final trump card" but didn't tell anyone else, which is very suspicious.

“The clock tower is cramped; four people are already a bit crowded. Let’s not bring too many people this time,” Xia Chuan suggested, then left Joel and Anya below.

Vodka, who had reappeared sometime earlier, had no intention of going up; he needed to keep an eye on Joel from below, as ordered by his brother Gin.

"You guys make the arrangements, I'll go up and take a look first."

Da Shang Zhu Shan Cai didn't care about anything else; he had to witness the solution to the mystery with his own eyes.

Seeing Oogami Ikumi's actions, she quickly followed him, as if afraid of having her treasure stolen.

The others followed suit, and by the time Xia Chuan was the last to climb the ladder and see the bronze bell, there was no place left to stand in the bell tower.

Suppressing the urge to lift Conan up, Natsukawa sat on the edge of the clock tower.

Looking down, there was a drop of tens of meters.

Da Shang Zhu Shan's hands trembled as he struggled to lift the pendulum in his hands.

After two years of anticipation, are we finally going to get the results today?
He excitedly hung the pendulum on the hook inside the bronze bell, his hands still raised high, like a priest performing some kind of ritual, as devout as a lamb.

after a while
"what happened?"

Da Shang Zhu Shan's face was blank. He waited for a long time, but the bronze bell did not react at all.

"Two hurried travelers gazed at the night sky, and suddenly, a demon descended upon the castle. Could it be that we need to look up at the dome and ring the bronze bell?"

Conan offered his own interpretation.

"Siguo Yi!" Da Shang Zhu Shan's eyes lit up, and he immediately swung the pendulum forcefully.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The bronze bell emitted a powerful roar, carrying immense force, so heavy it seemed to penetrate the barrier of time.

Each sound was like an ancient echo, roaring deeply in the silent mountains and forests. The lingering sound spread slowly in the air, like the pulse of the earth, steady and powerful, making people's hearts tremble.

Everyone covered their ears, pressing their faces close to hear the sound, as if their heartbeats were in sync with it.

After a few chimes, the bronze bell stopped, and the forest fell silent again, with only the bell still trembling slightly, shaking off the dust.

"Why is there still no response?" Da Shang Zhu Shan's temples were bulging with veins, and he felt an urge to hit someone.

"I know, we need that last part here!" Conan suddenly remembered something and pulled out a deck of cards from his pocket!

"The order of the riddles is left, right, left, right," Amuro Tooru recalled with his eyes closed, then gave the answer.

Conan was startled; he hadn't expected this guy named Mogi Yoshun to be even more capable than him. Of the three playing cards that were brought out, the King and Queen faced left, and the Knight faced right, so the answer must be that the pendulum strikes the left side twice and the right side once!
Xia Chuan was very pleased with this. As expected of a detective, he had a rich imagination. This saved him a lot of trouble.

The other detectives didn't understand what "left and right" meant and all looked puzzled.

"Don't ask, let's try it first and see."

At Amuro Tooru's prompting, Ōgami Sekisei struck the ancient bronze bell once more.

The bell tolled three more times, followed by a crackling sound.

"Success!"

All the detectives were delighted, especially Amuro Tooru and Conan. The sound of the mechanism turning was so satisfying, it felt like a harvest.

Xia Chuan's expression froze, staring blankly at the dome with the bronze bell hanging from it.

Does this work too?
So, no matter what, as long as Conan can deduce the correct answer, it will become the correct answer?
The sound came from above, and the ancient, worn-out gears churned with difficulty, occasionally emitting strange clicking sounds that made one worry that they would collapse at any moment.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the thick dome, making the sounds of the interlocking mechanisms even more pronounced.

Everyone was stunned by this scene and looked up in awe.

"The two travelers, hurrying along, looked up at the celestial phenomena that night. Did they mean the treasure was hidden on the dome of the bronze bell?" Ikumi Gunta asked blankly, her face turning red involuntarily, her eyes gleaming with a greedy crimson.

The others, whether curious about the secrets hidden inside or coveting the treasure, all felt their hearts race.

"Oh no! Something is about to fall from the opened stone slab!"

From Xia Chuan's angle and with his limited vision, he could vaguely see what was inside.

Behind the opened stone, an object of unknown origin was teetering precariously.

"Fall down, fall down quickly."

Not only did Oogami Shuzen ignore her, he even pushed aside Conan and Gunta Ikumi next to him, spreading his arms out as if to embrace his treasure.

However, even if there is treasure, based on the current ownership of the Twilight Villa, it should belong to Natsukawa.

He didn't consider anything at all, only feeling that the treasure was just an embrace away from him. With his arms outstretched and eyes wide open, he completely forgot the composure that the person behind the scenes should have.

Natsukawa finally understood why Chima Kōdai killed his teammate in the original story. Besides wanting to keep the treasure for himself, another reason was that this gourmet detective couldn't control his emotions.

This isn't the first time he's lost his composure.

"call out--"

The object fell directly from the dome.

"Do not!!!"

Da Shang Zhu Shan's expression changed, and he tried to dodge, but the clock tower was too small, and everyone was crowded together, so he had no space to hide.

A huge iron box fell from the sky, almost the same size as Ooshō Shō, and smashed directly onto Ooshō Shō's head.

With a loud bang, before Da Shang Zhu Shan could even let out a scream, the heavy iron box had already smashed his head open.

Blood spurted out, and red and white substances were everywhere. Everyone who was huddled together with Da Shang Zhu Shan was covered in blood and gore.

Only Xia Chuan managed to dodge through the clock tower wall at the last moment, only getting a slight splash on his arm.

"what!!!"

Ikumi Gunda was closest to Ogami Kisuke and directly bore burdens that she shouldn't have had at her age.

Although she was a forensic pathologist, this was different from the corpses lying in the autopsy room; the bloody scene made her lose her mind.
