Hei Yu Qianying bent down and looked carefully, and found some peculiar marks. "Look, there are some scratches on the edge of the piano."

"Those might be the claw marks of an eagle. The young man with the eagle must have entered the room to search." Mogi said casually, and played the piano casually. Suddenly, the room was filled with the sound of the piano.

"Huh? There's something stuck in the gap between the keys!" Bai Ma Tan suddenly shouted.

"Hmm?" Mogi widened his eyes and picked up the protruding corner with his fingertips. It turned out to be a piece of tattered paper. He hurriedly opened it to take a look.

There was a passage densely written on it: On the night when the two dead looked up at the sky, the devil descended on the city, snatched the king's treasure and fled. The princess held up the Holy Grail and begged in tears. The soldier cut his own throat with a long sword, staining himself with blood...

"What is this?!" Mogi's hands trembled with excitement. "This is the clue to the treasure that guy mentioned!"

"But why is it printed text?" Hei Yu Qianying asked in confusion.

Mogi thought for a moment and said with certainty, "Back then, there were no photocopiers. Someone must have printed this text in large quantities, hoping to spread it widely! That's what that guy said about the tragedy that happened in this museum forty years ago and the location of the treasure... There must be people who covet it!"

At this time, Bai Ma Tan found the spray under the piano and said, "Hey, this is the blood display agent used by Ms. Qiangtian."

"So, she's been here too?" Heiyu Qianying curled her lips.

"Go turn off the lights!" Mogi suddenly said something confusing.

Hei Yu Qianying was still in a daze.

"Hurry up!" Mogi shouted.

With a "click", Hei Yu Qianying turned off the light.

Suddenly, a strange scene appeared on the piano. "Wha-what?!" Kuroba Chikage, Mogi, and Shiraizumi Masu were all dumbfounded.

In the pitch-black room, there were a few lines of glowing words on the piano lid.

......... 0 0

"Writing in blood on the piano!" Hei Yu Qianying gasped.

"Something really happened forty years ago." Mogi confirmed the news.

The three of them held their breath and looked at the words intently:

I was killed by Karasuma

Explain the riddle

Playing cards

"Cards?" Mogi's expression changed involuntarily, and he said in dismay, "Could it be..."

Kuroba Chikage suddenly came to his senses: "Wait, where are Shiraizumi Masushi and Gunda Ikumi?"

Bai Ma Tan's face darkened and he said, "Could it be that..."

Bai Ma Tan snapped his fingers, and Bai Ma Tan's partner, Hawk Watson, flew back.

Hakuba Tan and his partner Eagle: "Hakuizumi Masaru and Kuroba Chikage are missing."

Hei Yu Qianying said: "Could it be that... they were killed!"

Mogi Harushi suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at Kuroba Chikage, saying, "The murderer is in front of the three of us. Hakuba Tsutomu can't be the murderer, and I'm not the murderer either. So, the murderer is you - Kuroba Chikage."

"No, I'm not--" Kuroba Chikage explained.

"boom!"

Hei Yu Qianying was shot and fell to the ground, with sweet ketchup spurting out of his chest.

Hakuba Tan said angrily: "Mogi, you are too arbitrary."

Mogi Harushi then pointed his gun at Hakuba Tan: "Hmph! Once I get rid of you, I'll be the final winner!"

"what!"

"boom!"

The White Horse Agent was shot and fell to the ground, with ketchup spilled all over the floor...

The little black man in the monitoring room.

He tasted the wine in the glass at hand with satisfaction.

"Next, it's the showdown between the scum detective and the scum police. It's so exciting!" 2.

291. The Vicious Chijian Descends

Mogi Harushi came out of the piano room and passed by the bathroom, but saw Shiraizumi Masu washing his hands alone. He asked cautiously, "Why are you alone?"

"Oh, the maid is in the front corridor... Are you looking for him?"

Mogi Harushi took a few quick steps forward and found Ishihara lying limply in the corridor.

"Ms. Ishihara?!"

When Mogi Harushi turned around, he found Shiraizumi Masu holding a handkerchief, appearing behind him. He then covered Mogi Harushi's mouth. Mogi Harushi hesitated for a few times and fell down.

"I won!"

Bai Quanyi curled his lips and said to the camera lightly:

"I have solved the riddle. If you want to know the answer, please come to the restaurant."

In the room, the little black man shuddered.

In the surveillance footage, Bai Quanyi was seen walking towards the restaurant.

The little black man gritted his teeth, opened the door to the monitoring room, and ran all the way to the dining room. The dining room door was wide open. In the place where the puppet had been sitting, Bai Quanyi was sitting with his chin propped up by his hands, as if waiting for him.

The black shadow hid in the blind spot inside the door, eyes wide open, trying to check the situation in the dining room.

"Come in and talk, Detective Chiken." Quan Yi smiled and stood up from his seat.

The black shadow's pupils shrank for a moment, but soon returned to normal. The black shadow - Detective Qianjian walked in from the "900" door cautiously.

Detective Qian Jian held a pistol, his eyes filled with venom. "Officer Bai, how did you know I was still alive?"

"Normally, except for those who want to commit suicide, no one would ride in a car with a bomb placed in it by themselves! But there are exceptions to everything, such as - using a car explosion to create the illusion of being killed, and taking the opportunity to confuse others... Am I right? Detective Qianjian?" Baiquanyi narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly.

"In the split second before the explosion, you escaped from the car and, using the surrounding dense vegetation as cover, sneaked back into the pavilion. Then, you hid in a small room, using the countless hidden cameras already installed in this Twilight Pavilion to monitor our every move."

"Of course, you couldn't monitor the three of us, because we immediately left the museum after we separated. Isn't that right, Detective Chiken?"

"Nonsense!" Qianjian Laotian retorted calmly, "I actually escaped from the train at the critical moment when I discovered the bomb on it. I just ran back after a lot of hardship!"

"Hehe... Now there are only two of us left, is there any point in lying?" Bai Quanyi chuckled.

"Oh? So, Officer Bai, you think I was the one who killed Mr. Okami and hosted this dinner?" Detective Chiken shifted his reading glasses and glared at him. "Then please tell me how I killed Mr. Okami with cyanide poison in this dining room? In front of everyone. And how could I have predicted what would happen? The tea he drank wasn't poisoned, and he and I were sitting across from each other!"

"But this has nothing to do with location." Quan Yi smiled and picked up the cup on the table with a handkerchief. "In fact, you have already coated everyone's teacup with cyanide poison, and the place where the ears are. When Mr. Okami picked up the teacup, his right thumb would touch the poisoned spot, and he has a habit of biting his fingertips when thinking. The last time he bit his fingertips was when he played the content of the tape you recorded with the voice changed, and the content was about the riddle of the treasure."

"Before telling the maid to bring tea, he started the recorder. When everyone heard the riddle, they immersed themselves in thinking. Mr. Okami, of course, bit his fingers while thinking."

"But everyone carefully wiped the teacup with a handkerchief at that time." Detective Chiken argued.

"So, as a detective, Okami is truly a failure. He was too careless." Quan Yi said with a hint of meaning, "As one of the planners of this dinner, even if he was your partner, he was so careless that he completely lost all suspicion of you and was poisoned to death by you!"

Detective Qianjian widened his eyes in horror, as if he was listening to a fairy tale.

Baiquanyi continued his analysis and reasoning slowly, "When the maid said she saw the Mercedes parked there when she arrived, I began to suspect you. Parking the Mercedes inside the mountain villa means you originally drove the Mercedes and had to hide your identity. You must have had an accomplice—Mr. Okami."

"And you hired Miss Ishihara as a maid because you saw through the surveillance camera that she had a habit of biting her nails. After the deed was done, you could have used the same method to silence her. Also, after you killed your accomplice, Mr. Ogami, you pretended to be killed yourself so you could hide. You constantly used verbal and psychological attacks to force the remaining detectives to solve the treasure riddle as quickly as possible. Once you found the treasure, you killed them all! Just like that tycoon, Karasuma Renya, forty years ago!"

Hearing the words "Karasuma Renya", Detective Chiken's expression finally became excited.

"Behind the blood writing on the piano in that room, there's another signature—Kyousuke Chima. I think this should be..."

"This is my father's name." Detective Chiken finally lowered his head. "My father is an archaeologist. Forty years ago, he came to this annex at the invitation of Karasuma Renya. Back then, the nearly centenarian tycoon Karasuma Renya inherited the Twilight Mansion from his mother. He learned that there was a buried treasure within the mansion, and he hoped to witness its brilliance before he died. The pay was very attractive. For the first few months, my father would send a letter and a large check every month, and my mother and I were very happy. But six months later, the letters and checks disappeared, and my father's whereabouts have been unknown since then..."

"I missed my father so much that I kept the letters he sent me. Then one day, when I held the last letter up to the light, I discovered that my father had pierced many small holes in it with a needle. Under the light, these needle holes formed words. The text said that besides my father, many scholars had come to search for the treasure on Renya Karasuma's behalf. However, knowing that he would not live long, Renya Karasuma was so anxious that he ordered the killing of all the scholars. They knew that even if they found the treasure for Renya Karasuma, they would not be able to escape death!"

"Have you told the police about this?" Bai Quanyi couldn't help but interrupt.

"No!" Detective Chiken shook his head in frustration. "When I discovered this, it was already twenty years later. By then, Karasuma Renya had long since died, the Karasuma family had declined, and the Mansion of Dusk had fallen into the hands of others. This incident began with a conversation with Ogami two years ago..."

"After many twists and turns, the Mansion of Dusk finally fell into the hands of Daigami. After he knew the riddle of the treasure, although he tried his best to search for it, it was still in vain. Because Daigami borrowed a large sum of money from the bank when he bought this villa, he had to find the treasure before the repayment date. One day, he said to me - let's gather a bunch of famous detectives and let them find the treasure for us! We will use Kaito Kid as bait and pretend to be the master. In the life-and-death game, we will pretend to be killed first, and then we will wait for all the detectives to find the treasure, then kill them, get rid of the maid who knew about it, and finally put the blame on Kaito Kid!"

Quan Yi nodded. "In other words, the decision to hire a maid was made by..."

Detective Chiken nodded in understanding. "It was Okami. He excitedly told me at the time that he'd discovered the maid's habit and could exploit it to kill her... But he never imagined he'd end up dying in such a way! Actually, the reason he frowned at that moment was because he'd noticed I'd altered the tape, not because he was wondering where the treasure was."

"As your partner, why did you want to kill Daikami?" Izumi frowned.

"Because if he finds the treasure, he won't hesitate to kill everyone. He placed a pistol under your pillow in the room where you sleep, hoping to make you kill each other in your internal strife." Detective Chiken smiled helplessly. "I really don't want such a tragedy to happen again like what happened to Karasuma back then. I just hope you can solve the riddle for me. Unfortunately, the end result is the same as forty years ago. Not only is the riddle not solved, but tragedy has occurred."

"About this..." Izumi shrugged, "Actually, Detective Chiken, you guys got one thing wrong."

"Ok?"

"Your father, Mr. Chima Kyousuke, successfully solved the riddle forty years ago!"

"What did you say?!" Detective Qianjian widened his eyes.

Quan Yi walked to the clock in the dining room, pointed at it, and smiled mysteriously: "Don't you think it's strange? In such a large villa, there is no other clock except this one in the dining room!

That's right, the code begins with "On the night when two travelers gazed at the sky," and both the long and short hands of the clock are pointing to zero. First, turn the hands back to zero. Then, the key to unlocking the code lies in the "cards" in the words your father wrote in blood! Cards are the playing cards used in gambling games. The King, Queen, and Soldier in the riddle are the Jack, Queen, and King of cards! The treasure represents diamonds, the Holy Grail represents hearts, and the sword represents spades. So, the treasure and the king are the King of Diamonds! The Holy Grail and the Queen are the Queen of Hearts! The sword and the soldier are the Jack of Spades!

Then, based on the order of the card characters in the riddle, the ranking numbers in the card game rules, and the direction of their faces, move the 0.2-hour hand from zero... left 13, right 12, right 11! That's the answer."

Detective Qian Jian suddenly understood everything. After she learned the answer, she immediately aimed her gun at Bai Quanyi and said, "Now that I know the answer, there's no point in keeping you here."

Bai Quanyi said, "Didn't you say that the final winner can share the treasure with you?"

Detective Chiken sneered, "Are you really... as stupid as Mr. Okami? You actually believed the words of a murderer? If I really wanted to stop Mr. Okami, I would have killed him before you came. I want to know the answer to the puzzle and keep the treasure for myself. That's all I want to do!"

Suddenly, another voice was heard behind Detective Chiba.

Mogi Yoshi: "Detective Chima Kyoudai, you are truly vicious! You've been pretending to be a good person your entire life, and finally at the last moment, your true colors were revealed."

Bai Ma Tan: "We are just putting on a show with you to lure you out."

Hei Yu Qianying: "Mr. Da Shang Zhu Shan is really blind. Being a partner with someone like you is like dealing with evil. It takes evil to deal with evil."

Ikumi Gunda: "Thanks to Officer Shiraizumi's idea. Officer Shiraizumi is really amazing!"

Ms. Ishihara: "All this is so terrible!"

Detective Qian Jian turned around and saw that the people he thought had died in the fight were actually alive again. His face was filled with astonishment!

292. Karasuma Renya's Serial Traps

Detective Qianjian said, "Wait... Since Officer Bai has just solved the mystery, I am willing to split the treasure of the Twilight Mansion equally. What do you think?"

"Not very good?" Everyone shook their heads.

Detective Qianjian didn't care about anything else and rushed directly to the clock and rotated it according to Baiquanyi's reasoning.

Seeing this, Bai Quanyi said to everyone, "Don't covet the treasure, let's leave quickly!

Hei Yu Qianying asked in confusion: "Why? Bai Quanyi, are you not interested in treasure?"

Qiangtian Yumei said: "Just because you are not interested in the treasure does not mean we are not interested. If you want to leave, go by yourself."

Mogi Harufumi said, "I don't want to leave like this. I spent five years on a loan to buy this car, and now it's gone. I won't go back empty-handed!"

Bai Ma Tan said: "Although I am not very interested in money, I am full of curiosity about treasures."

Ms. Ishihara: "I... agree with Officer Bai. The owner of this house is so evil and wants us to kill each other. He will definitely not give the treasure to others easily. It must be a trap."

Shiraizumi Masaru said, "Ms. Ishihara, you're right. The wealthy man Karasuma Renya is no good. The so-called puzzle is actually a trap. This kind of person is the purest evil. Don't trust a single word he says."

Bai Quanyi finished speaking, and seeing that everyone remained unmoved, he sighed, "I can't control others, but Kuroba Chikage and Gunda Ikumi must go."

Having said that, Baiquan Yi pulled Kuroba Chikage and Qiangda Yumei out without saying a word. Seeing this, Miss Ishihara hurriedly followed.

However, Haruhi Mogi and Tanjiro Hakuba are full of confidence.

Bai Ma Tan said with a hint of disdain: "Bai Quanyi is too cautious. Even if there is really any danger, with my skills as a high school detective, I can escape with my life."

Mogi Harufu said, "I must have a share of the treasure, otherwise my trip would have been in vain!"

When Detective Qian Jian followed Bai Quanyi's explanation and moved the long hand to 11 o'clock, the whole clock fell down with a "bang".

The top layer of the clock was broken, but the bottom layer was gold! Judging from its weight, the entire clock was probably made of pure gold.

"No way...it's just a golden bell...it's not worth much."
