Saturday, August 17th.

In the afternoon, under an unknown mountain in Seishitama Town. On the riverbank, when the four treasure hunters and Yamazaki arrived, as well as the tall police officer Sato, Midaiko was helping Dr. Asa put away the camping tent, and the Twilight Police Department and Officer Shiratori were accompanying an elderly man who looked to be in his sixties.

At a glance, the treasure hunt saw four pieces of skin supported by branches, three snakeskins and one rabbit skin. Next to it is a large garbage package, because the package is transparent plastic, so it can be faintly seen, and at the bottom is a bird's nest, inside is a pile of bird feathers, on which are piled up a rabbit head, three snake heads, and a pile of fish bones.

Ayumi screamed in fright as soon as she saw the garbage, and Motota and Mitsuhiko were also startled. Conan was looking at the old man, with gray hair, a thin face, full of wrinkles, a decent suit, and an excited and uneasy look, it seemed that he was the former owner of the jewels, and he was having a bad time, maybe he had lost a lot of money in the past, and now he was hoping that the jewels would turn over.

Officer Shiratori and several police officers were in charge of questioning the four members of the treasure hunt group, and Officer Zoten was in charge of asking Yamazaki, Dr. Asa and Midaiko had already been questioned by the police just now. Dr. Asasa said that he came here to play adventure games with the children, that the map was drawn by Yusaku Kudo 15 years ago, and that the treasure was a letter he wrote, and that he didn't know anything else. Mei Daiko only found the treasure that the jewel robbers had hidden before, and she didn't know anything else.

After a while, the questioning was over, and the four treasure hunters and Yamazaki didn't know about the previous jewelry robbership incidents, so there was nothing to say. After reading Yusaku Kudo's letter and the robber's letter, the Twilight Police Department returned Kudo's letter to Dr. Asasa, and the robber's letter and manuscript were temporarily used as evidence. Then the Twilight Police Department began to question the tall man.

As soon as the police department asked, the tall man confessed that they had stolen the jewels together, and then the jewels were left at the boss's place and hid separately. A few days ago, when it was time to meet, they found that the boss did not come, so they went to his house to look for him, and then learned that the boss had died, and got this letter with the map in it, saying that the thing was there, but it should be returned to the police, and if they didn't die, they could go and look for it, so they came.

Looking at the jewels in the open handbag in Mei Daiko's hand, the Dusk Police Department asked, "This is the bag of jewelry you stole back then, right?"

"Yes. The tall man said, "Yes, this is the bag." ”

"Ahem!" Pointing to the old man next to him who was staring at the jewelry in his handbag, the Twilight Police Department introduced, "Miss Mei Daiko, this is ......"

"I don't want to hear it. Midaiko said and zipped up her handbag.

Officer Shiratori smiled, "Miss Midaiko......"

Mei Daiko said, "This is mine. ”

Officer Sato smiled: "Mei Daiko, you can return these things to him, you don't lack these." ”

Mei Daiko said, "No!"

"Don't say it, it's an ownerless thing, and it's something that Mei Daiko likes," Yamazaki said with a smile, "If several people find it together, then as long as the companions give up, Mei Daiko won't force it, but now that Mei Daiko found it alone, don't think about it." ”

"Miss Midaiko, please give it back to me. The old man suddenly knelt on the rocks of the riverbank, and pleaded, "I need these jewels so badly, or my company will go bankrupt, for the sake of my employees, I beg you, Miss Midako, please give them back to me." ”

Midaiko said, "It's none of my business. ”

At this time, the sound of a helicopter came from the sky, and everyone looked up to see that a helicopter was flying towards here.

"My lawyer is here," Midaiko laughed, "Dusk Police Department, if you have anything to say, just tell her." ”

As the helicopter approached, the colorful seven-pointed crown logo slowly became clearly visible, and the old man kneeling on the ground immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Seven, seven-pointed crown, good mood!" Then he looked at Midaiko and asked, "Are you Miss Miyamoto Midaiko?" and then pleaded, "Miss Midaiko, these jewels are toys to you, but they are life-savers to me." I beg you, Miss Midaiko, please give it back to me. As he spoke, he bowed his head and put his head on the rock, then raised his head and said excitedly, "By the way, don't you mean that your good mood gives people a good mood? ”

"I'm not in a good mood to give it to you," said Maidako, "so I don't want to give it to you." ”

"You ......" The old man was so shocked and angry that he couldn't speak.

Ayumi whispered, "This old man is so pitiful." ”

"Legally, these jewels now belong to Mei Daizi. Conan whispered, "She gives it to whomever she likes." ”

The Twilight Police Department said, "Yamazaki, he really needs these jewels, you ......"

"The Twilight Police Department, he didn't go bankrupt directly because of the theft of this batch of jewelry, and he probably got a lot of compensation from the insurance company. After so many years, he can't live anymore, and the company is about to go bankrupt, which can only explain one reason, that is, he is not doing well, and this is completely his own reason, and it has nothing to do with people. Yamazaki said, "So don't talk about it." Then he said seriously, "Dusk Police Department, we respect the law, so please respect us as well." ”

"Okay, I see. The Twilight Police Department said, then to the old man on his knees, "I've done my best. ”

"This gentleman," the old man pleaded to Yamazaki when he found that he could speak, "just take pity on me, is it okay......?

Interrupting the old man's words, Yamazaki said: "The way you are now, let us sympathize with you, what you just said, also make us sympathize with you and your company, as well as the employees of your company, but sympathy for this reason can't let us give you things." ”

The old man knelt on the ground, looked up pitifully and asked, "Then what am I going to do so that you can return my jewels to me?"

"To correct me, these jewels no longer belong to you, and you are no longer qualified to say the words 'mine' and 'yet', so please say 'let'. Yamazaki smiled, "Now the fact is that you are asking us to give you this batch of jewels worth at least one billion yen for free." ”

"A billion yen?" asked in a low voice, "How much eel rice can you buy?"

"That's enough for you to eat for a lifetime. Mitsuhiko whispered angrily.

Yuan Tai said: "If it were me, I wouldn't let it go to him." ”

The old man changed his words and asked, "Then what should I do to get you to give me the jewelry?"

"It's impossible to get us to give you the jewelry. Yamazaki laughed, "However, there is a way for us to return the jewel to you." ”

"Give it back to me?" the old man asked in surprise.

"Yes, give it back to you," Yamazaki laughed, "you heard it right. ”

"What way?" asked the old man at once, expectantly, "what is the way to get you to return the jewels to me?"

"As long as the law on the time of recovery is amended before the end of this event, and the time is extended at least to this day, then, although legally the jewels found before the law is executed, we will recognize them as yours and return them to you immediately, although legally speaking, the jewels found before the law is enforced. Yamazaki smiled and asked, "How about it, old man, do you want to gamble your luck and fight a lawsuit with us to prolong the end of this incident?"

"Huh?" the old man collapsed to the ground in frustration, and the Twilight Police Department and Officer Zoten stepped forward to help him up.

At this time, seeing the helicopter land, a young woman in professional clothes walked over from it, and Mei Daiko smiled: "Let's go home, brother." So saying, he walked towards the young woman.

Yamazaki asked the four Treasure Hunters and Dr. Asasa, "What about you, will you come with us?"

Dr. Asa smiled, "You guys take the kids away, I'm going to drive back." ”

Yamazaki smiled, "Leave the car to the lawyer, let her help you drive it back." ”

At this time, Officer Shiratori exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, why is she?" and immediately greeted him.

Mei Daiko asked, "Are you ......?"

"Hello, Miss Midaiko," the young woman introduced herself, "My name is Sara Shiratori. ”

"Shiratori?" looked at Officer Shiratori who had come over, and Midaiko asked suspiciously.

"Sharo," Officer Shiratori asked, "...... you?"

"Brother, I am now interning at Fei Yingli's law firm. Shiratori Sara smiled, "This time, it was Teacher Concubine who took special care of me and let me come alone." ”

"I see," Yamazaki laughed, "I said why it's so late." ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yamazaki, but it took me a lot of time to get back to the office. Shiratori Sara smiled, and then asked, "Miss Mei Daiko, I have learned about this incident, you accidentally found a bag of jewels hidden by jewelry robbers in the past, and now these jewels have passed the recovery time and have become ownerless, isn't that so?"

"Yes. Mei Daiko said.

Shiratori Sara smiled, "Then leave it to me." ”

Mei Daiko smiled: "Okay, Lawyer Shiratori, this matter will be left to you." As he spoke, he handed the handbag to Sara Shiratori.

"It's heavy. Shiratori Sara smiled, "Brother, help me hold it." As he spoke, he handed the handbag to Officer Shiratori.

"Alas. With a sigh, Officer Shiratori took the handbag.

"Miss Shiratori, here's the key to the car," Dr. Asa smiled, "thank you." ”

"No problem. Saro Shiratori laughed. ……

Before evening, Dr. Asasa's house.

The helicopter flew back to a good mood, and with the promise of picking a piece of jewelry in the future, Motota, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were sent home by three taxis, while Dr. Asasa, Midaiko, Yamazaki, and Conan arrived at Dr. Asasa's house together.

As soon as Maida arrived, she went to the utility room and studio to see Dr. Asasa's gizmos, and Dr. Asa beckoned Yamazaki and Conan to sit down.

Conan took out the treasure map and Kudo's letter and put them on the table, and asked angrily, "What's going on?"

"Well," Dr. Asa smiled sheepishly, "you know, Yusaku is very busy, and he's not sure he'll be around you when you're ten years old, so leave it to me, let me hand it over to you then, and, hey, hey......"

"And then I forgot," Conan said angrily, and then asked, "what's the matter with that cavern, and how does it look artificial?"

"We stumbled up there and found the five pillars, and then Yusaku came up with this game, and he set up the Big Dipper and the North Star," Dr. Asa laughs, "I dug the hole five steps away from the North Star." Then he said proudly, "Well, I can still open it after so many years, I have a good design." And it's hidden enough that no one has found out for so many years. ”

"It's stealthy enough," Conan said angrily, "and you can find it if you catch a rabbit." ”

"Ugh. Dr. Asa was speechless.

At this time, Mei Daizi came out and asked, "Doctor, didn't you take a few boxes when you came back from the laboratory last time? You said that it was an incomplete invention, have you done it now?" Can you show it to me? ”

"I made a telescopic sling and made Conan's glasses with some materials, and the other two are not ready," Dr. Asa laughed, "By the way, I made a portable fax machine and a puppet that can be started at regular intervals, and if you don't like the portable fax machine, you must like the puppet, it can talk, I'll show you." With that, he went and found the doll that looked like him.

"Huh?" After trying, Midako asked with a smile, "It's like a Gomerra, and it's a scream, I'm going to use it as an alarm clock, okay?"

"It's easy," Dr. Asasa laughs, "and two days is fine." ”

"Okay, 100,000 yen, is that okay?" asked Midaiko again.

"Yes, yes. Dr. Asasa hurriedly laughed.

"So be it. Mei Daiko smiled, "Brother, if it's okay, let's go home." ”

"It's okay," Yamazaki laughed, "then Dr. Asasa, we're taking our leave." ”

"I'm gone, too. Conan said.

"Oh, Conan," said Dr. Asasa, "give me your bow tie, and I'll do it for you." ”

"Okay. Conan said, "Next time." ”……

Night, Maori home.

In Maori's room, next to Maori's bed, Conan couldn't sleep because of Maori's snoring, so he took out his father's letter again, lay on his floor, and looked at it again.

Looking at this letter, which was seven years late, Conan thought to himself, if he was ten years old, this would be an adventure, and if he was seventeen, it would be an outing. Uh, really, what was I thinking. Thinking about everything I have experienced with Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko today, feeling the friendship in it, and the father who arranged it all, the kind of mischievous fatherly love, Conan smiled and said to himself: "Maybe only a seven-year-old body like me, a seventeen-year-old mentality, can fully enjoy the fun of adventure, can fully feel the preciousness of it." Thank you, Dad, for this treasure you left me. Then he muttered, "Then again, when I was one year old, I was sure that my friends when I was ten years old would have been Aunt Eiri's Ran and Aunt Miko's Midaiko and Yamazaki, right? Well, no, he could only be sure that Ran would be in the same school as me in the future, and become classmates." Speaking of this, Conan's face immediately turned red, "Dad is really, he has been ...... since I was a year old" In his thoughts, Conan fell asleep unconsciously. ……

Monday, August 19.

The result of the incident came out, because of the passage of time, the two jewelry robbers were no longer charged with stealing jewelry, but because of what they did to the detective group, one was charged with intimidation, and the tall man was also charged with illegal possession of a firearm.

The robber's letter and manuscript were returned to Dr. Asa by the police, and Dr. Asa put it away, and Yusaku Kudo's letter was also put away by Dr. Asasa, but when he put away the letter, Dr. Asa found that there was a newly written signature under Yusaku Kudo's signature, Shinichi Kudo, August 17, 1996.

After paying the taxes, the jewelry was also taken back by lawyer Bainiao and handed over to Mei Daiko, who then took it to Dr. Asasa's house by Mei Daiko. Conan picked a gold tie clip inlaid with cat's eyes, Genta picked a gold bracelet studded with rubies, Mitsuhiko picked a pair of platinum diamond earrings, Ayumi picked a sapphire pendant, and Dr. Asa was grinding until Motota and the three of them went home and picked it separately after opening Conan, what kind of jewelry he was holding, Yamazaki and Midako didn't see.

The Comerra alarm clock is taken by Maidaiko, and Conan's bow tie is left for Dr. Asa to process.

Later, the three snakeskins were made into three small purses, one for Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Conan, and the rabbit skins were made into gloves for Ayumi. ……
