On Tuesday, March 24, at about ten o'clock in the morning, an old bungalow in the mountain villa complex of Nishitama Town.

After Miss Nakamura was untied, she hurried to solve the physiological problem, and then came back and thanked Mori while taking the four of them to the living room.

After serving tea, Miss Nakamura talked about the two gangsters, "I don't know who they are, they suddenly broke in this morning, pointed a gun at me, and asked me where my grandfather hid something, and then they found the manuscript paper I left behind to write the letter, and asked me when I sent the letter, and they guessed that Detective Maori you would be coming today, so they tied me to the attic, trying to pretend to be me and ask you to help find this thing." ”

"Excuse me, Miss Nakamura, do you know what they're looking for?" Mori asked.

"I don't really know. Nakamura said.

"Well," asked Maori, "there are a lot of clocks in this room, but is your grandfather really just a watchmaker?"

"Yes, my grandfather's name is Tokiro Futomon, and he is a guild-approved watch master," Nakamura laughs, "and everyone says that the clocks he makes will last a lifetime." ”

"No, I mean other identities. "For example, secretly helping people make fake designer watches. ”

"Huh?" Nakamura said in surprise, "I've never heard my grandfather mention this. ”

Mori asked, "So, Miss Nakamura, what do you mean by the very strange thing in your letter?"

Nakamura said: "The first is that all the digital clocks in this house will ring at 11 a.m. ”

At this time, it was exactly eleven o'clock in the morning, and the digital clocks were ringing.

Conan picked up a digital clock and noticed a scratch on the surface of the clock, as if something had been stuck to it, so he asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know, I just know that this is not the only one, there are many more, and it looks like they were carved on purpose. There are also these animal ornaments, which seem to have been removed on purpose. "This is also a strange place, because my grandfather is actually a person who cares a lot about things, especially clocks. ”

Lan smiled: "By the way, I see that there are still a lot of animal decorations here, Master Yuanwen must like animals very much." ”

Nakamura said with a smile: "Yes, my grandfather has a strong interest in animals, and it is much better than those abducted humans, these animals are just hunted to survive, this sentence is my grandfather's mantra." ”

Maori asked, "Is there only these strange places?"

Nakamura said: "There is also the pigeon clock above the desk in the study, and when the time is announced, it is not a pigeon that comes out of it, but three little ghosts. And it is strange that it does not strike the time on the hour, but at 1:10 p.m. ”

"Ten o'clock in the afternoon?" said Maori, "it's really strange. ”

"It's a code. Conan said casually, "Remind you of the three numbers one and one zero." ”

"Cipher?" Maori was taken aback.

"What's that, let's call the police?" Lan asked.

"By the way, Detective Maori, should we call the police?" asked Nakamura.

"Call the police, of course, but can you wait until I find this thing?" asked Maori.

Nakamura asked, "So, those two people?"

Yamazaki said, "Don't worry, they can't break free." Then he said, "Uncle, although I don't understand what the code is, since there is something strange about that clock, it is better to take it apart and see it." ”

"That's right...... Ah," Maori looked at Kanomura

"As a detective, you often have to do codes. ”

"Yes, uncle. Yamazaki said.

"Detective Maori, think slowly, I'll go prepare something to eat. Nakamura laughed, "I can't let you go hungry." ”

"I'll help you, Miss Nakamura. Lan laughed.

Ran and Nakamura away, and Yamazaki saw that Mori and Conan were thinking about the code, shook his head, and slipped away.

Den.

"I guess there are tools for fixing the clock. Yamazaki opened the drawer of his desk and looked at it, and sure enough, he found a tool kit, then lowered the clock above it and removed it.

Looking at what he found, a watch studded with diamonds of various colors, Yamazaki muttered to himself, "This old gentleman's craftsmanship is really good." Then he looked at something else, three half-crouched imps together, "I think I've seen this thing in the materials my uncle has gathered." ”

"The Tempest Thieves. Conan came in and said, "The group of thieves who specialize in stealing black hearts and enterprises will occasionally appear at the scene of some illegal transactions, doing some black and black business, and there will be a little ghost named Gebrin left at the crime scene, they disappeared ten years ago, and I didn't expect to appear here." ”

"Got the code?" asked Yamazaki.

"There are many animals in this house, but the only one is missing, that is, the lion, and the homonym of the three numbers of one hundred and zero can be pronounced as the king of beasts. Conan said, "Only the doorknobs on the door are lion-shaped, and one of them is transparent. If I'm not mistaken, just wait until the evening to shine a flashlight and follow the light to find it. ”

"That's right, this clock has a light-sensing device on it. Yamazaki smiled, "Worthy of a detective." ”

"Hey, can you still put the clock up now?" asked Conan.

"Yes," Yamazaki said, "but this thing can't be left inside for you to find." ”

"Why?" asked Conan.

Yamazaki said, "This thing should still be dirty. ”

Conan said, "I know that, just hand it over to the police when the time comes." ”

"No, the Wind Thieves Group stole more than these things back then, and if they were recovered, this house would definitely not be enough, and Miss Nakamura's property might all be confiscated. Yamazaki said, "When the time comes, my uncle's reputation will be completely over, and no one will like this kind of housebreaking detective." ”

"That's a problem," Conan asked, "and what do you say?"

Yamazaki said, "Make a property division procedure and separate Miss Nakamura's property from Mr. Fuchimon Tokiro's property in a formal way, including the favors he has received before, so that those creditors will not be able to trouble Miss Nakamura." ”

Conan sighed, "It looks like Miss Nakamura is going to break the bank." Then he thought for a moment and asked, "Then the procedure can't be completed in a day, right?"

Yamazaki laughs, "It's a single digit by week." ”

"And what about these two guys?" said Conan, "they're going to say everything." ”

Yamazaki said, "I don't think there is anything else that can prove that Mr. Fuchimon is a member of the Wind Thieves Gang other than this watch." ”

"Not a member, Mr. Fuchiwen should be the leader. Conan said, "If you can get these colored diamonds, you must be the leader who divides the spoils." ”

Yamazaki smiled: "Yes, I was negligent, generally speaking, these colored diamonds are still rare." ”

Conan said: "But, have you ever wondered what to do if the police still don't admit it even if this procedure is completed? ”

"It's just a matter of luck. "It's better than no cards at all." ”

Conan said: "I think you might as well find someone to find out who the creditors of the Wind Thief Group are, and then say, Shi Feng should have this information." ”

Yamazaki smiled: "Then let's talk about it first......"

"Wait, wait," Conan said quickly, "You're also from the firm, right?"

"Uncle Maori's reputation is gone, and I don't mind at all," Yamazaki laughed, "I don't know about a certain great detective......"

"Well, as you say. Conan puffed up his triangular eyes.

"Isn't that good. Yamazaki took out two phones, a mobile phone and a satellite phone.

"I say, don't you weigh it with you?" Conan asked angrily.

"Insurance, there are a lot of places in the mountains where there is no signal. Yamazaki said, "It would be nice to merge the two later." "Then I saw that the mobile phone had a signal here, so I used the mobile phone.

Yamazaki calls Nobue Oda and asks her to buy a news collation of information about the Tempest Thieves to see who the creditors are.

Hearing that the cost was one million yen, Conan was taken aback, "The materials compiled by the news are also so expensive?"

"It's already cheap, and if you look it up yourself and then sort it out, it's absolutely impossible without a few weeks. Yamazaki said, "Let's not say that you can't find the news from more than ten years ago, let's just say that you found the relevant company in the newspaper news, and then you have to confirm it? ”

"Well, this money is owed first. Conan said.

Yamazaki smiled: "That interest ......"

Conan gave a pair of big eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "According to the standards of the National Bank." ”

"Well, let's take the short-term calculation first. Yamazaki laughed.

Soon after, Nobue Oda called, "Sir, at present, in addition to the state, the main one that is qualified to recover money from the Swift Wind Thieves Group is the Takei Financial Company, which is a subsidiary of the Takei Group. Many of the things stolen by the Storm Thieves Group were themselves disgraceful, and they notified the police after committing the crime, and the original owners of those things were arrested, and now the right to recover those things belongs to the state. Of the remaining legitimate items, nearly 70 percent of the recourse rights belong to Takei Financial Company. The Takei Group is the company of Miss Takei's father's father in your class, and Miss Hanai's father was one of the victims of the Storm Thieves Group back then. ”

"Well, I see. Yamazaki said.

Oda Nobue said, "Hey, sir, have you found something lost and want to buy it?" Do you want me to help you, I am quite familiar with Mr. Takei." ”

"Still no," Yamazaki laughed, "thank you for your kindness." Then he hung up the phone.

"Why don't you call her for help?" said Conan, "with Mr. Takei's temperament, he will definitely squeeze the maximum profit." ”

"Just now it was just helping, being a middleman is a task. Yamazaki said, "Don't worry, with Miss Hanai here, she won't settle accounts with Miss Nakamura, as long as Miss Nakamura hands over the property of Mr. Tokiro Fuchimon that she just inherited." ”

"Miss Hanai is still with him?" asked Conan.

"Yes, she is the one who takes care of the Takei Financial Club. Yamazaki said, "It can be said that Mr. Takei pretended to be blackfaced, demolished and drove people to the door to ask for debts, etc., and Miss Hanai pretended to be white-faced, and she did it to make additional compensation and low-interest loans, etc., and the two sang and worked together very well." ”

After that, Yamazaki put the watch back in the clock, put the clock back on the wall, and then went to the entrance with Conan to take a look, and found that the two gagged gangsters had woken up and were trying to stand up, so he went to the living room to inform Mori.

However, the two gangsters did not cooperate at all in response to Maori's questioning, so they replaced Miss Nakamura as tenants in the attic.

1:10 p.m., study.

After the clock rang, three imps came out to tell the time, and Mori saw them and thought of the Storm Thieves, "By the way, Miss Nakamura, I think these people must have stolen the jewelry to make clocks for your grandfather, they wanted to use the clocks to smuggle jewelry, but your grandfather died suddenly, and they had to come to you." Your grandfather was afraid that telling you openly would bring you danger, so he used the code 110 to tell you and asked you to call the police. ”

"I see. Nakamura said.

Maori said: "The Wind Thieves Group will leave behind one of these imp dolls after committing the crime back then, and now the imp dolls are in this clock, which is what your grandfather wants to tell you that their things are here, that is, those jewels are in this clock." Then he stepped forward and removed the clock from the wall, and asked Nakamura to find the tools to dismantle the clock in Conan's stunned state.

"Look, it's this watch. Mori proudly handed over the diamond watch he found to Nakamura.

"Dad, you're amazing. Lan said happily.

"Yes, Detective Maori, you live up to your reputation. Nakamura laughed.

"Where, where. Maori laughed triumphantly.

Later, Mori's grandfather, Fuchimon Tokiro, who was exempt from Nakamura's, was regarded by the police as an accomplice in the sale of stolen goods by the Wind Thieves Group, and directly called the Twilight Police Department to ask him to help deal with the case.

For the sake of Maori's contribution to the Kozaburo Hijikata incident yesterday, the Twilight Police Department agreed to come over. ……

In the afternoon, Dr. Asasa's house.

After returning, Yamazaki brought Conan, who had been sullen, with him.

After entering the door, Conan shouted: "Ah, damn it, how is this possible, that reasoning is not right at all, if that is the case he can call the police himself, why bother to arrange any code." The time on the watch is 3:30 a.m......., which is an allusion to Nakamura Cao, who obviously wants to secretly leave the watch to his granddaughter, how can it become like this?

Looking at Conan, who was rolling on his bed in anger, Dr. Asa asked Yamazaki suspiciously, "What's wrong with him? Did he let the murderer in the incident escape?"

"No, it's not. Yamazaki smiled and explained the matter, "The police have recognized Uncle Maori's reasoning, although those two gangsters will identify Mr. Fuchimon Tokiro, but I don't think the police will find strong evidence that the deceased Mr. Fuchimon is the head of the Wind Thieves Group, so Miss Nakamura Cao is completely the role of a victim, not only will she not break the bank, but she will also be compensated." Then he smiled at Conan, "By the way, don't forget the information fee you owe." ”

"Got it, got it. Conan shouted.

"What's the fee?" asked Dr. Asasa with a smile.

"Oh, he was worried that Miss Nakamura would be pursued by the creditors of the Wind Thieves and his uncle's reputation, so he bought a document to find out about these creditors. Yamazaki laughed.

"Hah......" Dr. Asa laughed, "I can't believe that the Maori detective has really done a perfect trick this time, comparing himself to a certain great detective." ”

"Alright, I'll leave it to you, Dr. Kasa, for the guy who was beaten down by Uncle Maori. Yamazaki smiled, then took his leave and left. ……
