Wednesday, January 3rd, night, Kotani Village, Nagano Prefecture, Twilight House.

Listening to Maori's words, Lan asked, "Then where are we going to find it?" Dad, have you decoded the code?"

"Nope. "But if you find something like a dark room, you're sure you'll find treasure." ”

Yuan Zi said, "That's right, so many treasures must only be placed in those places. ”

Conan said, "But what if it's a treasure map? ”

"Well," said Maori, "anyway, let's go find the darkroom first." ”

Mei Daiko said: "As for the dark room, we went around earlier, and only found a monitoring room in the attic on the central observation tower, and there is no hidden space in other places. ”

The garden asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, both the darkroom and the tunnel require a lot of space, and you can see the difference in echo by tapping on the wall floor. ”

"What about the ceiling?"

Mei Daizi said, "Except for the ceiling in the hall that is too high to reach, the others can be reached with sticks." ”

Maori asked, "Have you searched all the places?"

Yamazaki said: "There is no one in the courtyard, there is still this restaurant in the house, and there are guest rooms that have not been found, but I think there is no dark room in the Dusk Pavilion, because those people have enough manpower and material resources to search, they must have searched for it." That code is talking about the place where the treasure is hidden, or the small dark grid where the treasure map is placed. ”

"In this way, it is better to decipher the code words first. Maori said, "What's the codeword......

Conan said: "Two people on a journey look up at the vast night sky, demons descend on the castle, kings scurry treasures, princesses beg for forgiveness with tears in their eyes, and soldiers kill themselves with their swords stained with blood. ”

"It is like saying that two men saw the devil descend on the royal city at night, and did evil in all directions, forcing the king to flee with important treasures, and the princess could only hold the chalice and pin her hope on the gods, and the soldier had to commit suicide because of his incompetence." ”

Maori asked angrily, "Do you think this is a medieval novel?"

"It's really like yes. Lan said, "But when it comes to kings, princesses, and soldiers, do you remember the poker incident where your mother was almost poisoned? Could the king, princess, and soldiers here also be playing cards? It's K, Q, J." ”

"Hey?" said Mei Daizi, "the demon may be the king, and the two travelers are the two card-playing people, and that is the recreation room, where I remember there was a card table." ”

"Very well, let's go to the recreation room. Maori said happily, "Take me there." ”

Soon after, the six Mori arrived at the recreation room, only to find that everyone else was here, with Zhuzen Ogami, Haruki Motegi, Ikumi Yarita, and Hakuba Detective searching around, with Chima and Aki Ishihara standing aside, so Mori joined the search and the others also stood aside.

Soon after, the five Maori ended the search with nothing, and Chima said, "Look, I've said it all, I've searched this place before, and I haven't found anything. ”

Haruki Motegi said, "Well, now it seems that I can only think about the code while messing around the room. ”

Ikumi Gunda said: "I hope the place mentioned in the code is not outside, otherwise it will be difficult to find things with the snow outside." ”

"It's going to be midnight soon, if you don't mind, we'll meet in the restaurant three hours later, that is, at three o'clock in the morning, to exchange ideas." ”

After that, a new treasure hunt began again, and at about half past midnight, Yamazaki made a supper for Midaiko and ate it with her at the restaurant.

Restaurant.

Mei Daiko asked, "Brother, is there really any treasure here?"

Yamazaki asked rhetorically, "Why do you ask that?"

Mei Daizi said: "I don't think this place is like a rich man's house at all, the chandeliers, the faucets, are all gold-plated, not to mention gemstone ornaments, gold ornaments, not even silver tableware, there is nothing valuable at all." ”

"I see. Yamazaki laughed, "That's why those detectives haven't been able to find something that triggers inspiration." ”

"What do you mean?" Midaiko asked, then reacted and asked, "Ah, are you saying that the thing that put the treasure map is not here, just like that silver wallet, it has long been leaked to the outside world and disappeared?"

"Yes, that's what I thought. Yamazaki said.

"How do you find that? Mei Daiko said deflated.

"Don't worry, there's another way. Yamazaki said.

"What's the solution?" asked Midaiko.

"It was a shipload of ore that was missing, and it was not easy to refine a shipload of ore into gold nuggets, so it is very likely that these hundreds of tons of gold are still thousands of tons of gold ore. "And the best place to hide gold is ......."

"Gold mines. Mei Daizi said with some excitement.

"That's right," Yamazaki said with a smile, "and the Karasuma family has been in the mining business back then, and if you find out which gold mines are in the name of the Karasuma family, you can find out which gold ores." ”

"Good. Mei Daizi smiled happily, and then frowned again, "What if he turns these gold ores into mined ones by grafting?"

"Then it can't be helped. Yamazaki smiled wryly, "And what you said is probably true." ”

"Huh?" Mei Daiko thought for a moment and asked, "Well, could it be, the descendant of the Karasuma family just found out that the gold had been used up a long time ago, so he couldn't stand the stimulation and went crazy, right?"

"It's quite possible. Yamazaki smiled bitterly.

"How so?" complained Midaiko.

After that, Yamazaki called everyone to tell the speculation about the treasure.

Detective White Horse said: "Speaking of which, there are really no valuable decorations here. ”

Ikumi Gunda said, "I think it's really possible that this is the case. ”

"In that case, I'll go back to sleep first. Haruki Motegi said, "Good night, everyone. After saying that, he waved his hand and left.

"No, it's impossible," Chima exclaimed with some excitement, "is my father's death so undeserved? With that, he ran out.

Ojo Zhushan said: "Okay, everyone has also worked hard, please go back and rest, and the next thing will be when I report this matter to the client." Of course, I don't mean to let people go. I'll go see Senma first, and I'm out of company. After saying that, he left in a hurry.

After that, they went back to rest. ……

Thursday, January 4th, morning, Twilight House.

Yamazaki got up and woke up Aki Ishihara, who was still sleeping, and asked her to work, as a maid can't sleep lazy, and then prepared to go to the kitchen to make breakfast, but in the corridor I saw that in the piano room opposite, Chima was sitting in front of the piano alone as if in a daze, so it passed.

Yamazaki knocked on the open door to wake up Chima Demo, "Can you excuse me?"

"You're the guy next to Maori, right? What do you want to say to me?" said Chima said weakly, as if she had suddenly grown old after not seeing her for hours.

Yamazaki asked, "Did you always think that the treasure was left to you by your father, a relic of his, so you wanted to keep it for yourself and planned to cause an accident about eating harmful food?"

"I wanted to satisfy the detective's curiosity, well, there's nothing I can't tell you now. "Yes, that's right, I've always wanted to come to the Pavilion of Dusk to find this thing, but there are always guards, and this time the big one came to me, which suited my liking, so I made another plan." Now that you can see it, it seems that your cooking skills are much better than those of the great, but yes, a gourmand is not a chef. ”

"It's over. Yamazaki said, then asked, "Can I know about your father?"

"My father's name is Kyosuke Chima, and he is an archaeologist, and he was invited to do research back then, but in fact he asked him to decipher a code with some people, and due to a non-disclosure agreement, my father didn't tell me anything, which I later learned from his relics, which is the one I told you." ”

"My father had been sending his salary home on time, but one day suddenly it didn't arrive, and my mother and I had a bad premonition, and five days later, the premonition came to inform me of my father's death, and my mother fainted on the spot. ”

"Later, my mother and I, accompanied by the police, came to this house to pack my father's relics, there was a worthless antique in it, it was my toy, my father took it with him every time he went out to work for a long time to send lovesickness, it was hollow in the middle, and every time my father came home, he would put a gift for me in it, let me guess what it was. Sometimes it's a worthless gadget from an archaeological site, or sometimes it's a question about the history of monuments. ”

"There was a text message in it that time, and my father said that he had worked with some people to decipher a code and complete a mission. From beginning to end, my father did not break the confidentiality agreement and did not say anything about the mission. It's just that since the task is completed, the code is useless, so he used it for me to play. ”

"Maybe as you guessed, the people of the Karasuma family found the treasure map according to the code and found the location of the treasure, but they found that the treasure had already been used, and they were greatly stimulated, and finally killed everyone to vent their anger. ”

"But now that the thing has not been found, it cannot be ruled out that the Karasuma family will kill people after obtaining the treasure, from common sense, the treasure belongs to the Karasuma family, and there is no need for him to do this, but people with mental illness cannot speculate with common sense. ”

Speaking of this, Chima sighed and stroked the piano next to him, "My father died here, and this piano is covered with his blood. ”

Yamazaki said, "In that case, I can give you this piano in my hands, but it will be a while." ”

"Really?" Qianjian was in high spirits, and then asked suspiciously, "There is no way to promise me about this matter, how can you do it?"

"You just have to know it's true. Yamazaki laughed.

"Then I won't ask, thank you so much. Senma smiled gratefully.

"You're welcome. Yamazaki laughed, then took his leave and left to go to the kitchen. ……
