Saturday, August 17th.

In the afternoon, on an unknown hill in Seishitama Town. The four of them followed the map and walked all the way to a meadow, which was very tall and dense.

Genta asked, "Is this where the treasure is hidden?"

Ayumi said, "The code word is, start from the junction of the water of the sky and the stone of the sky, and take five steps. ”

"What does the water of heaven mean?" Motota guessed, "Could it be rain?"

Mitsuhiko said, "Your answer is too simple. ”

Looking at the five stone pillars erected on the grass and looking at the shape of their arrangement, Conan immediately said, "Yuantai, lend me your shoulder." Without waiting for Yuantai to agree, he climbed onto Yuantai's shoulder.

The arrangement of the stone pillars is just W-shaped, W, WEST, by the way, it refers to the west, Conan thought while getting off the shoulder of Genta, if you say this, what is the water of the sky?

Yuan Tai asked, "Conan, have you figured it out?"

Conan said, "I think it's five steps west from the stone pillar, right?"

Mitsuhiko immediately ran over and shouted, "Conan, there's nothing." Then suddenly there was a scream of "ahhh

Seeing this, Motota, Ayumi, and Conan immediately ran over shouting Mitsuhiko's name, and then found Mitsuhiko lying in the grass with his head covered.

Ayumi asked, "What's wrong, Mitsuhiko?"

Mitsuhiko said, "It hurts, I tripped over a tree trunk, and after I fell, I hit my head on a stone again. ”

Trees and stones? Conan touched it, and the trees and stones looked like they hadn't moved for a long time, huh, this shape...... Conan ran around the trees and stones, was that the one?

Thinking of this, Conan looked for it and found that there was a big tree about fifteen meters tall on the edge of the meadow in a good position, so he ran and climbed to the highest position he could climb, about seven meters high.

The logs and stones were connected to form the shape of the Big Dipper, and Conan thought, by the way, the constellation Ursa Major is the shape of a spoon, and the water of the sky refers to it. Then, those stone pillars refer to the constellation of the fairy queen. In this way, the intersection of the water of the sky and the stone of the sky refers to the North Star, and the position of the North Star is the place where the distance between the two stars at the top of the Big Dipper has been extended by five times, and it is also the position that starts from the intersection of the two stars on both sides of the constellation Cassiopeia, and the distance connecting the central star is extended by five times.

Thinking of this, Conan was about to get off the tree, but suddenly found that the pillar of smoke rising from the camp was not too far away, so he took a look, and the camp was at the bottom of the mountain, and the straight-line distance was less than two hundred meters away from here. Looking through the binoculars, Conan spotted Dr. Asasa, Yamazaki, and Midaiko roasting something to eat, and couldn't help but exclaim, "These guys are really laid-back." ”

As soon as he put away his binoculars, Conan casually looked up and found that about four meters above the branch where he was standing, there was a piece of bark that was abnormal, so he looked through the binoculars, and there were traces of new shedding on it.

Taking a closer look at the entire tree, Conan found that there were many similar traces on it, and pointed to the canopy, Conan thought to himself, this should be the traces of someone climbing the tree, and there were no branches more than four meters up from where he was standing, that is, this guy jumped more than two meters high here, reached there, and then climbed up. It's amazing, what kind of person is this? And what is this person doing up there? It's weird.

Conan got out of the tree, told the three of them who were resting about the constellation, and then found the location of the North Star, and then determined the direction.

The four of Conan lined up, and Conan smiled, "Listen, we just need to walk five steps." ”

As the four of them walked, they counted: "One, two, three, four, five." ”

When he arrived at the place, Yuan Tai asked, "Strange, why is there nothing?"

Mitsuhiko asked, "Conan, are you mistaken?"

"Uh," Conan said with a dry smile after a moment's thought, "Well, maybe our steps are too small, so it's better to take two more steps." ”

Ayumi immediately took two steps, and then exclaimed in surprise, "There's a secret door under this bush." ”

"Huh? That must be the entrance to the treasure. Yuan Tai said excitedly.

Mitsuhiko asked, "But how do you open this door?"

"Isn't that a handle?" said Conan, "I should use a pull, but...... Huh?"

Conan found that Yuan was too easy to open the door, and was immediately taken aback, if this door had not been opened for a long time, not to mention the rust, just the floating soil stuck in the crack of the door...... In other words, who opened this door not long ago?

Behind the door is a vertical hole with an iron staircase to climb. The entrance of the cave is circular, about one square meter, the hole is more than three meters deep, and there is a protrusion platform at the bottom of the cave, and there is a treasure chest on it.

The four members of the treasure hunt group crowded at the bottom of the cave with flashlights, and Yuan Tai asked, "Is this the treasure we are looking for?" and opened the box.

"What," Mitsuhiko said dejectedly, "there are no treasures. ”

"There's a piece of paper, and there's a bag of papers. Ayumi asked, "Is it a new treasure map?"

"I'll take a look. Conan picked up the paper as he spoke.

At this time, a voice came from the entrance of the cave, "Kid, the treasure hunt is over." Climb up obediently, or you won't come up. ”

It was the voice of the tall man, Conan thought to himself, what is this? Thinking of this, Conan took advantage of the fact that Yuan Tai climbed up and blocked his vision, quickly put the paper and document bag into Mitsuhiko's backpack, and then followed Mitsuhiko, and the last one climbed up.

The four members of the treasure hunt group came out of the cave and found that it was indeed the two people in suits they met in the mountains today, the tall man and the man with glasses.

The tall man said to his companions, "Look at them, and I'll go down and see." So saying, he climbed down.

"Uncle," asked Conan, "aren't you ahead of us?

"No way, who made you so good," the bespectacled man laughed, "We all tried it out one way and the other way." ”

Conan asked, "So, you can't decipher the last codeword, so you've been waiting for us?"

"yes," the bespectacled man laughed, "thank you very much." ”

At this moment, the tall man's angry cry came from the cave, "Damn, there's nothing in this treasure chest." ”

"What?" asked the bespectacled man as he immediately stood at the entrance of the cave.

By chance, Conan immediately raised his hand and used the anesthetic needle to bring down the bespectacled man.

Seeing that his companion suddenly fell, the tall man shouted, "What's wrong with you?"

"Uncle," Conan said, motioning for Genta to close the door, "this uncle seems to be asleep." Then he saw that the tall man took out a pistol, and said with a smile, "Uncle, if you shoot in such a small place, you will be stunned, and maybe your ears will be broken." ”

After a moment's pause, the tall man put away his gun, and then began to climb up, and then the door was closed, and he shouted, "Little ghost, what are you doing, let me out." ”

Conan smiled, "Uncle, let's wait for the police to come." As he spoke, he stuck the shovels of these two men on the door and let Yuan Tai sit on the pole stretched out, so that Yuan Tai could not only press the door, but also make the tall man's gun unable to hit Yuan Tai.

Ayumi asked, "Conan, who are these two?"

"I don't know. Conan said as he took out the paper and document bag from Mitsuhiko's backpack.

Yuan Tai asked, "What is written on it?"

Conan was stunned when he saw it, this was a letter to him, Kudo Shinichi, and this trace was very familiar to him, it was the handwriting of his father Kudo Yusaku, and the last signature was also unique to him, and the time was 1981, May 4.

"I don't know when Dr. Asa will remember that map, this letter is for ten-year-old Shinichi and your friend, if you can get this letter when you're ten years old, it means that your detective level is passing. Laugh. And the so-called treasure ......"

"Well," Conan thought for a moment, "the so-called treasures are all the processes you go through on your way to this place, you may fall from the bridge into the river, you need to make your own fire, and sometimes you need the help of friends to overcome many obstacles, these are all valuable experiences. You may not be able to understand it now, but I think that one day in the future, all this will become your priceless treasure, your eternal treasure, and I hope that you will continue to pass on this experience to future generations. ”

Mitsuhiko said, "I don't seem to understand. ”

Ayumi smiled: "Forget it, that's it." ”

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Tai sighed, "Okay. Then he asked, "What's in that bag?"

Conan poured it out and saw that it was a letter to his father, Yusaku Kudo, and a manuscript. The letter said, I'm sorry, I peeked at the letter you wrote to Ling Gongzi. I'm also sorry, I couldn't help but take your manuscript back and read it, but you couldn't publish it, and then I couldn't find the manuscript, so I couldn't return it to you, and now I found it, but I can't return it to you personally. Fortunately, I still wrote down the place you painted back then, and now I will borrow Ling Gongzi's hand to return it to you as well. The letter was not signed at the end, only the time, August 10, 1986.

"It's a letter of apology, and there's a manuscript that can't be published," Conan said. ”

"Huh?" said Yuan Tai in frustration, "What are these things?"

Ayumi said, "Let's go back." ”

Mitsuhiko asked, "But how are we going back?"

Conan pointed ahead and smiled, "Yamazaki, Midaiko, and Dr. Asasa are right below this mountain, so they can know by shouting." ”

Yamazaki stood up from the grass not far away and smiled, "No need to shout, I'm here early." ”

Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi shouted, "Brother Yamazaki!"

Conan asked in surprise, "When are you ......?"

"While you are counting. Yamazaki smiled, "I know everything, and I have already called the police, and the police should be there immediately." ”

Conan asked, "Then you already know who these two are?"

"The jewel thief many years ago. Yamazaki laughed, "They're here to find a jewel that was hidden by another jewel thief." ”

Yuan Tai asked excitedly, "Is there really a treasure?"

"It's a pity that you didn't even see it, so don't think about it if you see it. Yamazaki smiled, "Let's take one back as a souvenir later." ”

"Ah!" shouted Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi together.

"Wait a minute," said Conan, "it's stolen goods, how can you ......?"

"I'm really sorry," Yamazaki said with a smile, "I've already called to check, the recovery time has passed, and now whoever digs it is whoever digs it up, of course, we won't pay less than any of the taxes that should be paid." ”

At this time, the sound of a police car came from a distance, and Yamazaki asked the treasure hunting group to wait here, and he walked to the edge of the cliff and waited.

Conan ran up to Yamazaki and asked, "When did you take the jewels and a map?"

"And?" asked Yamazaki, "what do you mean?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Conan showed the two letters to Yamazaki.

Yamazaki said: "It seems that this was when you were almost a year old, and your father did not put away the map after drawing it, and the person who stole the manuscript saw it and remembered it, and this person was the other jewel thief." ”

"'No way' probably meant that he was dying, probably because Dad was abroad at the time, and he was dying," Conan said, "so he drew a map of his memory, found it, put the apology letter and the manuscript in the treasure chest for me, and wanted to lend my hand and return it to Dad." ”

"I also put the jewels here to borrow your hand to hand them over to the police," Yamazaki laughed, "It wasn't time yet, but you never came." ”

"I think it's because Dr. Asa has completely forgotten about it," Conan said, "and Daddy thinks I've been." ”

"But how did this map come to be now?" Yamazaki said, "and that's a problem. ”

"It's really a problem. Conan asked again, "When did you take the jewels?"

Yamazaki smiled: "Mei Daiko said that when she caught a rabbit, she found a hole in the ground, and she should have stepped on the door and found that the sound and the feeling under her feet were wrong, so she found out." ”

"Catch, catch the rabbit?" Conan was speechless. Then he thought of the marks on the tree and asked, "By the way, she won't have taken out the bird's nest again, will she?"

Yamazaki smiled, "Even the birds, eggs, and nests have been brought back." ”

"......" Conan rolled his eyes and was completely speechless.

"You should thank Midaiko," Yamazaki laughed, "and she caught three snakes, two of which were poisonous snakes. ”

"Wouldn't it?" Conan was taken aback, "Here?"

"Yes. Yamazaki laughed.

Conan complained, "Dr. Asasa ...... this guy"

At this time, four police cars drove to the river beach, and Conan looked at it with a telescope and said with a smile: "Getting out of the car are the Twilight Police Department, Officer Sato, and Officer Shiratori." ”

Soon after, when Midaiko called the police at the bottom of the cliff, she threw up the end of the long rope that the police had brought, and Yamazaki caught it and tied it around her waist, and then Officer Sato climbed up first. ……
