He talked for a long time, then looked sideways and found that the other three people had excited faces, their hands clasped together, and were immersed in their imaginations. They were not listening to him at all.
Conan thought he saw three clouds.
Beautiful decorations and cakes, luxurious watches and private rooms, endless eel rice and feasts.
These guys... Conan's mouth twitched.
Only Winette on the side felt that what he said made sense, except that the map was indeed a real treasure map, although the treasure was stolen goods.
When the trio's delusion came to an end, they immediately became filled with energy, raised their arms, and took big steps forward.
Kojima Genta loudly announced: "From today on, we are the Boy Detective Team!"
"Boy Detective Team!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also shouted, this name made him very satisfied.
"How cool!" Yoshida Ayumi clasped her hands and said in surprise.
Kojima Genta was encouraged, and he said, "Then I, Kojima Genta, will be the leader. Do you have any objection?"
"Agree!"
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko echoed.
Conan, who was listening, opened his mouth wide, his eyes drooped, and he covered his forehead:
"I feel like my head hurts."
Miss Winnett felt the same way. Children are really capable of doing whatever they want. The cultural influence of detectives is really huge. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that even such young children are being poisoned. She hoped that they would not be like Kudo Arata and be at the forefront of seeking death.
Winnett didn't think at all that the kids could find the gold coins.
She did not deny that children's interest and accidental encounters could reveal a lot of things, but the code was a complex thing that incorporated knowledge, personal imprints, and so on; children would not know about Italian bandits, and most of them would be stuck at the first step like her, waiting quietly under the East Capital Tower. She only needed to wait for Clyde's preparations to be completed and connect with the Mud Gathering Society. Suddenly, she was attracted by the little boy named Conan. She saw him take the note from Kojima Genta's hand, reveal a thoughtful expression, and then a solved expression.
After Conan got the code, he immediately figured out the first meaning. The graphics in the first row symbolized the Toudou Tower. Based on this pattern, he guessed that the following content was also related to the graphics.
He took the crumpled paper in his hand, placed his left index finger under the model of the Dongdu Tower, and vowed:
"Look at the graphic at the top. It looks like you've seen it somewhere before, right?"
The three children approached the paper, their eyes widened, and they all realized what was going on. "Ah!" They happily came up with the answer, "It's the Dongdu Tower!"
They immediately moved towards the library, shaking their arms and legs vigorously.
Conan looked at it helplessly, then turned to look at Winnet and asked:
"Excuse me, big brother, where did you find that note?"
Winette pretended to hesitate, thought for a while, and made up an excuse:
"That note... Yesterday, a group of men dressed suspiciously were wandering around the museum. They were all wearing black suits. I was about to get the cleaning tools when I saw them throwing away the paper ball. I put it in my pocket and forgot to throw it away. Little boy, your friends..."
……
164 Scare Conan
A black suit?
When Conan heard this word, cold sweat broke out on his back. He thought of the night at the amusement park, the man in black who appeared behind him, the pain after being hit hard, and the unwillingness of his body becoming smaller. For a moment, his expression became a little scary. Then he heard the last sentence from Winnet's mouth and found that the children had disappeared.
Conan didn't want to show his tense nerves. He ran, looked back at Winnet, and said:
"Bye, big brother!"
When he ran out of the main entrance of the art gallery, Winnet's eyes turned cold. With just one glance, he grasped some information and combined the real situation with the pattern. As a child, she felt that he was a little too smart. Not only that, when she mentioned the man in black, his eyes changed obviously and his expression was shaken.
Is he also a time traveler?
Winnet found it hard to believe that a child could show such a complex expression. She had experience with this kind of thing. When she was acting as a child in the early stage, she also had many unnatural places. Sister Alyssa classified them as precocity, saying that God watched her birth and growth. Because of this, she felt that incredible things actually had nothing to do with God. God's majesty and teachings were all practiced by His faithful believers.
As soon as the cleaning process was finished, she left and took a car to the vicinity of the Dongdu Tower, wondering if the child could find the clues she had missed. She stood in the shadow of the store alley and waited for a moment, then heard a hurried run. She stuck her head out with her hood on and happened to see a group of four people who called themselves the "Young Detectives".
Winnet, who was familiar with detective stories, thought that this name was a tribute to the Sherlock Holmes series. Perhaps the children in this world were quite smart. Although she did not have such a feeling when she was a child, twenty years had passed after all. Given the strangeness of this world, she felt that anything was possible.
The kid named Conan was running in the front.
"really……"
Winnett confirmed that he was the one who acted as the think tank. She stepped out of the shadows, looked in the direction where the children were heading, and immediately widened her eyes.
Neon lights...
On the day she got the code, the shopping street was experiencing a power outage due to heavy rain. The Toudou Tower had a backup power supply that lit up like an indicator light, but the shopping street did not, so she missed her target. The code was just as she thought, the moon represented night, she turned her head and saw a store with a convex sign, she caught up with the Junior Detectives again, saw the inverted triangle, found an umbrella on the changing weather display, saw the star-shaped Ferris wheel, and the neon lights with two rectangles stacked on top of each other.
It was actually solved by these kids...
Winette also began to have a headache. She did not expect that her unintentional behavior would lead to such a situation. Once she let the gold coins fall into the hands of these children, her plan would also be ruined. Of course, the organization can continue to make a deal with the Mud Society and ask them to hand over the worthless Cabana, but if such a request is made, it is easy for the people of the Mud Society to think that Cabana has information about the organization, and then pry open his mouth and associate the hijacking of the ship with the organization.
Finally, Winnett concluded that she had to put a stop to these "naughty" children.
Fortunately, she brought the bag she left at the museum with her. In the shadows, she transformed into the person she had been in the video. She took an unconventional route, using her agility and the mobility provided by the hook to intrude from directly above the building with rectangular grids painted on it.
Winnet landed at the top and heard the conversation of the four people in the attic.
"The lights of the bridge reflected on the water, forming the fish shape of the final signal."
Sure enough, it was the boy with glasses who thought of this...
Winnet was deeply surprised. Even she hadn't thought of this last part, but the boy was sure of it. She was not self-righteous, and even admitted that she might not be a match for detectives like Kudo Shinichi in terms of reasoning. Crime and reasoning have similar perspectives in essence, but they are contradictory in appearance. Although it is necessary to think from the perspective of the other party, this kind of thinking is not the main factor. A key difference between the two is the timeliness.
"Then the location of the treasure is..."
Standing in the attic of the building, Conan looked at the scenery outside the window and slowly stepped back, allowing the bridge and its reflection to enter his sight completely. At this time, he felt that he had stepped on something, picked it up and took a look -
It's gold coins!
Then he looked around, raised his head, and found a huge shadow hanging in the air by ropes.
Several gold coins fell from the sky.
Hearing the sound, Kojima Genta immediately ran over and picked up the gold coin: "It's treasure! It's treasure!"
At this moment, Winnet flew in through the window that had never been installed by the rope, half-crouched on the ground, and spread her cloak on the ground:
"Don't move if you want to live."
Conan was deeply stimulated. When he cracked the code, he was wondering if it had anything to do with the two men in black. Now the man who broke in through the window, wearing a mask with bloodstains, was also wearing a black cloak. For a moment, he thought the masked man in front of him was also their accomplice, and he was immediately furious.
"Who are you?" asked Kojima Genta.
Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were very scared.
"He actually broke in through the window. This place is ten stories high..."
Conan was thinking about how to escape. He was not sure if the man in black was wearing a gun, but judging from his actions when he broke into the building, even if they ran downstairs while shouting, they would be caught and there would be no possibility of running away. If the masked man was really an accomplice of the two men in black, even if they gave in, they would be killed in the end.
hateful!
He must figure out a way!
correct!
If the note came from the masked man in front of him, his purpose must also be for the treasure.
"Are you here for these gold coins?" Conan asked.
"Oh?" Winnet said with a smile, "What a pity, you are right. But do you think you will be rewarded if you answer correctly? No, of course not. In this case, the smarter the guy, the faster he will die. If you want to use gold coins as bait and make some calculations, you are wrong."
She reminded kindly.
Immediately, Winnet reached her hand into the cloak, a flash of cold light passed by, and it quickly passed across Conan's face, leaving a bloody mark.
"I advise you to just surrender. There's no one else in this building, and there's an abandoned area next to it. Even if you scream your throat out, no one will come to rescue you. Give up this meaningless move."
Winnet knew that villains died because they talked too much, but when facing children, it would save effort to make them afraid and understand the situation.
This character is here to seek revenge on "evildoers" who bully children. If this kind of thing gets out, his character will collapse.
Seeing that Winnet was not very interested in the gold coins, Conan knew that his little trick was useless.
Before he died, he wanted to know who the man in black was who had knocked him unconscious and fed him drugs, so he asked:
"Are you a companion of those men in black?"
……
165 My name is, I am a detective
Man in black?
The word was the same as when she spoke to Conan. Winnett did not think in the direction of the organization, because the organization would not have anything to do with a child. She had no doubt that when a child was connected to the organization, the child would be like a plant root buried in the soil and would be pulled out by the organization, unless the person who was carrying out the mission at the time had a change of heart and did something extra, such as lying or taking the child away.
So, she thought that the man in black that Conan mentioned was the one she mentioned in the art museum.
In Winnett's experience, dying people are often very obsessed with why they died and want to understand the motives of the murderer. In a world where detective novels are considered mainstream culture, this situation may be further strengthened. Even if the gray cloud of death hangs over our heads, people still want to know what is hidden behind the cloud.
There was only one staircase at the exit of the narrow floor, and the floor was still in a rough state. Judging from the dust underfoot, it had not been put into use for at least a month. The room was empty and did not seem to be a place where treasure was hidden. In addition, she heard the sound of gold coins falling, so the answer was obvious: the gold coins were hanging on the ceiling of this room.
She is certainly not a companion of the men in black. She has no connection with the gang and is not a member of the organization. She must prove that she is just a killer with a problem in her head who thinks she can represent justice. Just like he killed the gang members, in Winnet's view, they have no value in living. The church used to face the gangsters in the same way. The difference is that the gangsters in the past could not find a job and could not survive, while the gangsters now want to live a better life than ordinary people.
Winnet was silent for a moment. "The man in black? I don't know what you mean. Use your smart brain, who do these gold coins belong to?"
Conan didn't expect that he would be asked the question in return. Then, he fell into his memories and connected the situation with a piece of news.
"You mean to say that these gold coins belong to a gang of Italian robbers... but you are not a member of the gang..."
Conan recalled the vicious murder case he heard from Uncle Kogoro Mouri this morning, in which five people were killed in a factory and hung together and burned like firewood.
"It was you who killed the bandit gang!"
After coming to this conclusion, Conan still had some things he couldn't understand. For example, why did he kill the bandits, and why did he follow them here? Could he be the older brother in the art gallery? This was illogical. There was no reason for him to give this "treasure map" to a group of children to decipher, especially since he could instantly understand the meaning of the last fish-shaped pattern. With this ability, Conan thought it would not be difficult for him to decipher the code.
Therefore, in addition to the tracking theory, there is another possibility that the masked man was already here before they arrived.
"I killed them," she said. "Even if there are people who want to reform them, that person will eventually be hurt and taste the sweetness of plunder. Those people will not repent easily."
Conan slowly backed away, his back hitting the railing of the stairs, then he stared at Winnet and found that she had indeed guessed the location of the gold coin.
His idea of hitting the opponent with the gold coin was completely thwarted.
Conan slowly calmed down as death approached, and he said:
"Even so, you have no right to judge them on behalf of the law. What you did is just the same evil as them."
"Heh." Winnett said jokingly, and slowly walked towards the three children. When they wanted to run away and turn around, she approached them. If it were in the past, she would not dare to use heavy hands, fearing that these children would have irreversible sequelae, but now, she can control the strength freely, just enough to knock them out.
The Boy Detective Team was wiped out.
"Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, Genta!" Conan yelled, "Damn it, do you think you'll be forgiven for doing something like this?"
"You are so long-winded," said Winnet. "If I really want to be forgiven, why don't I stay in the convent? Who will forgive me, you or the police? Everyone knows that the little people live a comfortable life."
God's hand cannot fall on everyone. She has spent fifteen years in the church. When she was three years old, she could recite the Bible. She understood the church and the monastery's principles, and never stopped working and studying. But most of the so-called confessors just spent money and faith, trying to reduce their sins, but rarely had the heart to repent.
In fact, the only ones who can truly torture the evildoers are themselves.
Winnet was too lazy to talk to the kid in front of her. Pure justice and youthful sentiments can only serve as a guide. People who die for justice are worthy of respect, but verbal justice and self-righteous admonitions are not something Winnet is interested in at all.
To be honest, justice and evil are things that can only be practiced by people with power.
Winnet ignored Conan, took out her phone, edited the message, and asked Clyde to organize people to move the gold coins. "I changed my mind, little boy. You are too curious, and I can't let things go wrong."
Something went wrong?
Conan wondered, could he have other plans later?
However, he didn't have that concern at all now, he asked:
"Are you serious? You won't kill us... As long as you don't kill us, I won't tell anyone about what happened today. Besides, you dressed up like this, so you're going to appear in front of people, right?"
Winnet laughed angrily. "How do you know that I'm going to appear in public?"
"Because your disguise is perfect. If you were just facing a few children, you wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths, right? Moreover, you didn't intend to hide the fact that you were the criminal who killed those bandit gang members. The result is obvious. You didn't intend to kill us. You just wanted us to be unable to move temporarily so that you could transport the gold coins smoothly."
"Who are you exactly?"
Winnet's eyes changed. This kid named Conan might be a time traveler, just as she thought, or a truly precocious genius like Shirley. But when Shirley was this old, she probably couldn't reach the level of a teenager.
But because of the previous case, she had to doubt it.
"Really? My name is Edogawa Conan, and I'm a detective."
When Winnet heard this, she felt that the name seemed a little familiar.
It turns out that it was taken from Edogawa Ranpo and Conan Doyle. After all, detective culture is one of the mainstreams, and Winnet knows that this is also a way to chase stars.
