Chapter 0724: The Secret of the Old Bungalow
On Wednesday, August 11th, before five o'clock in the afternoon, the old bungalow of Dr. Akasa's uncle's house.
After Yamazaki came down from the roof with Ota on his back, he put Okuda RyΕaki on the floor of the living room, on the bed that Ran and Sonoko had brought from the bedroom, and then said to Dr. Asa and Ran and Sonoko, "This is Mr. Okuda RyΕmei, come and find a twenty dollar template from thirty years ago." β
Dr. Asa was surprised and asked, "Is it the money that is going to be faked?"
"Then let's call the police. Lan said.
Yamazaki said, "No, that version of twenty dollars may not be in circulation." β
"In that case," Yuan Zi thought for a moment and smiled, "I remember that in the nineties, the twenty-dollar version was greatly changed, and the anti-counterfeiting mark was added. β
Dr. Asasa asked, "And his pistol?"
"He has a gun license, it's just a long time since it expired. Yamazaki said,
"Huh?" Dr. Asa was surprised.
"I speculate that this gentleman commissioned someone to make a twenty-dollar template thirty years ago, and when the man disappeared, he dreamed of making a fortune, and he used this as motivation to search tirelessly. "Now he may have broken his dream and realized that he had been dreaming for too long, and he couldn't accept it, so he fainted." β
"I see. Dr. Asasa said.
At this time, Mei Daizi finished the phone call and asked Yuan Zi and Lan, "How are you doing, what have you found?"
"Come with me," said the gardener, smiling, "I found a mezzanine in the study, but I haven't found the switch yet." β
"Me too. Lan smiled, "I found a basement in the utility room under the stairs, but I couldn't find the entrance. β
Moments later, the study.
Mei Daizi knocked on the area pointed by the garden with her hand, "This voice is metal, there should be a safe in the back, the switch of this thing is generally in the desk, bookcase and other places, or it is a certain decoration, have you found the garden?"
"Not yet?" said the garden, touching the decorations in the study, "I heard movement as soon as I found out." β
"Then look for it. Mei Daizi said, "Lan, go and see the bookcase." "Then go check the desk.
"Take out the books one by one. The garden said.
"Yes, I watched it on TV. Lan laughed.
A moment later, Lan had news that several books could not be pulled.
"Then don't take it, it should be too long to be useless, rusty. Yamazaki smiled, "Dr. Asasa, if you don't mind, find a long-handled hammer." β
Dr. Asa goes to look for the hammer, and Lan leads the others to the utility room under the stairs.
Mei Daizi stepped on the ground a few steps, and found that it was the floor, so she asked Yuan Zi and Lan to stand farther away, and then stomped down hard, and the whole person jumped forward and fell outside the door, and the floor cracked a hole.
Midaiko stood outside the door and tapped the hole around the hole with the hammer Dr. Asasa had brought, widening the hole and revealing a staircase.
"It doesn't smell, it shouldn't matter, let it be ventilated, we'll come back in the evening." Mei Daiko smiled, "Let's go open the safe first." β
"Let's go, see what good things I find. Yuan Zi smiled.
After a while, everyone returned to the study, and Mei Daiko hammered down against the wall next to the safe, and some bricks flew out, causing a noise, which seemed to have smashed into the next room, and a pile of debris fell to the ground with a "bang".
When the rubble stopped, a large hole was revealed, and when I looked through the hole, the next room was in a mess, and there were several flying bricks stuck in the opposite wall.
Mei Daiko used a hammer to remove the rubble, and the side of a safe was exposed, and she tapped a few times on the corner to loosen the safe, and then took it out and put it on the desk, and found that it was an old-fashioned knob-type safe, so she put her ear to the top of the safe and began to rotate the button.
"Can you really hear it?" Sonoko put her ear to the safe, "there really is a sound. β
"Really?" Lan put his ear to the safe, "I heard that, too." β
After a few moments, the lock of the safe opened, and Mei Daiko smiled and asked, "Guess what?"
"Gold, silver, jewelry, of course. Yuan Zi smiled.
"Then I'll guess the bills. Lan laughed.
When Midako opened it, she found that there was only one letter inside, and when she took it out, she saw that it was for Dr. Asasa, so she handed it to Dr. Asasa.
Dr. Asa looked at it for a moment, then said, "When you read this letter, the villa will be demolished. I don't know if Okuda is still there, he is a good man, but he sacrificed too much for his brother. My brother and I actually kept some money, but I gave it to Okuda, so I hope you don't blame me. After thinking about it for a long time, I don't know what to say to you, in short, take care of yourself, it's good to meet later. Then he took off his glasses and wiped the moist corners of his eyes, "That's it, this is my aunt's handwriting." β
Midaiko said, "Well, the one in the attic is Artist Okuda." β
Yuanzi said: "In order to prevent my brother Mr. Okuda Lunming from embarking on the path of crime, and I don't want to expose him, I hid here with a template. β
Lan said, "What a good person. β
At this time, the sound of an ambulance came, and everyone hurriedly went out to greet them, only to find that a large vehicle was followed by an epidemic prevention vehicle.
After that, Dr. Asa calls Ashbara and tells her to go back in the evening, and Ashbara tells him that the dealership has called him and that his new car has arrived.
Lan and Yuanzi also made a phone call home and told their families to go back in the evening.
The ambulance took Takaki Okuda away, and Yamazaki and Maida followed.
While the epidemic prevention personnel were working on it, Dr. Asa and the three went to a nearby restaurant for dinner, and at about 8 o'clock in the evening, after Yamazaki and Midaiko came over, they returned to the villa together, and found that the epidemic prevention personnel wearing protective clothing carried a body bag and put it in the car.
Seeing them coming, an epidemic prevention officer took off his protective clothing and walked to the side with them, introduced himself as Dr. Nishio, the person in charge of the operation, and told them that the deceased was a man who should have died suddenly while reading a book.
Yamazaki asked, "Doctor Nishio, do you know how he died?"
"It could be a heart attack. "There was an empty heart medicine bottle next to his body. β
"So," Yamazaki asked, "did he leave anything behind?"
"Yes, but apart from a suitcase, I think it's better to burn everything else. "I think he's prepared, and the important stuff is in the box." β
"I'm sorry for you. Yamazaki asked, "So, this box?"
Epidemic prevention officer A said: "I can give it to you in an hour at most." β
"Thank you, then, Dr. Nishio. Yamazaki said, then asked, "By the way, there's a basement here that hasn't been used for a long time, and we want to go down and see if we can borrow a few suits?"
"Yes. "Dr. Nishio brought five sets of protective suits and helped the five Yamazaki put on protective clothing.
Basement.
When the five of Yamazaki went down to take a look, they found that it was a small sake cellar, but it was empty.
"It's a shame. Yuan Zi smiled.
"Let's go, go back and bury the treasure. Midaiko asked, "Have you thought of anything you can do?"
"I think the guess is good. The garden said.
"Isn't it going to be too hard?" Lan asked.
"That's easy. Mei Daizi said, "Go buy a book of children's riddles and refer to it." β
"Plus that. Dr. Asasa laughed, and then explained the steps of his own treasure hiding.
"I think it's good, so let's do it, how about it?" asked Midaiko.
"Agreed. Yuan Zi smiled.
"No comment. Lan laughed.
After that, the five went to a nearby bookstore to buy a children's riddle book, and when they returned, they found that there was a fire in the attic, and Dr. Nishio explained to them that it was using a small fire-breathing device to bake things that could not be taken away, mainly around the body, and asked them to rest assured that the fire was controllable and would not cause a large-scale fire.
Seeing this, the five of them went to set up the scene and hid a box of "treasures".
Shortly after doing this, Dr. Nishio brought a suitcase.
When he was gone, Dr. Asa opened the box and found two letters, a picture book, a $20 template, a passbook, medical records, some papers, and some cash.
Both letters were addressed to Dr. Asasa and his aunt, one for unsent love and one for unsendable thoughts.
The album is full of the figures of Dr. Asasa and his aunt, two of them a year, and it looks like they were painted by Dr. Asa and his aunt when they came on vacation.
There were more than 20 million yen in the passbook, and the medical records showed that Artist Okuda had a heart condition.
Yamazaki asked, "Dr. Agasa, what are your plans?"
"Well," Dr. Asasa said after a moment's thought, "I'll leave these two letters and the album, and I'll give the passbook and cash to Mr. Okuda Ryaki, and as for the template......
"Give it to me. Mei Daiko said.
"It's fine. Dr. Asa gave the template to Maidako.
After that, the five Yamazaki followed the epidemic prevention car back to the Good Mood General Hospital, put the suitcase containing the things given to Tsuyoaki Okuda there, and then took the subway from the Good Mood Station to the Rice Flower Square Station, and then the four of Yamazaki went back, and Dr. Asa went to pick up the new car, and the old car also called someone to send it home. β¦β¦
The next day, Thursday, August 12th, morning, at Dr. Asasa's house.
Conan, who came to see the new car with great anticipation, looked at the two cars in the courtyard, one new and one old, and was speechless, both of them were yellow beetles.
Soon after, the detective team arrived, and Dr. Asasa drove the five detectives in a new car to his uncle's old bungalow.
On the way, Dr. Asasa was in his car.
Dr. Asa explained the purpose of this operation, and his uncle once left a treasure in his villa, which he had not found for a long time, and wanted to find it with the help of the wisdom of the detective team.
The three of them discussed in the back seat, and Gray Yuan asked in a low voice, "You also went yesterday and brought back something?"
"Just some irrelevant letters and paintings. Dr. Asasa whispered.
"Is there really a treasure?" asked Conan in a low voice.
"Of course it's true. Dr. Asasa chuckled, "We found a lot of things, but we just couldn't find my uncle's treasure. β
Conan thought that last night, Yamazaki and Mei Daiko left after finishing the first half of the work, saying that they were going to meet Ranhe Yuanzi, and they didn't take themselves with them, leaving themselves alone at Mei Dai Restaurant, and they didn't say anything about what they were going to do when they came back, so he asked, "We don't mean Yamazaki and them, right?"
"Guess it? It's them. Dr. Asa laughed.
"So they're involved in setting that up too?" asked Conan.
"That?" Gray Yuan asked, "Did you hide a treasure yourself?" β
"Well," Dr. Asasa said with a dry laugh, "we'll find out when you find the treasure." ββ¦β¦
