Chapter 12: The Junior Detective Corps, the Metropolis Secret Map Treasure Incident (Part II)
"So," Motota said with a confused scratch of his head, "what do these figures mean?" β
"Well, can you lend me this piece of paper to see?" Conan asked Motota.
"Oh." Motota handed the paper to Conan.
"This figure ......," Conan pondered, looking at the figure of the topmost tower, "don't you think you've seen it somewhere?" β
"Yes...... three people thought of a place at the same time, and couldn't help jumping up with joy.
"Tokyo Tower!"
"That's right! Let's go there! Conan said this, but there was a strange feeling in his heart, as if someone was following behind. Conan turned his back, but found nothing, so he could only suppress the feeling in his heart and chase after Ayumi and them.
After arriving at the Tokyo Tower, Conan and the others looked at the drawings and were at a loss, and Conan had a whim, and saw the second and third figures as hats and underwear, and as a result, this erroneous reasoning made Conan lose face once.
The next thing can be described as a disaster, three children entered the clothing store and made a fuss, the underwear fat times were turned over everywhere, the door of the dressing room was also opened by them, several women who changed clothes let out a piercing scream, accompanied by the roar of the clerk, the whole clothing store was made to pieces.
Conan managed to escape the chase of the clerk with the three of them, and fled to the street in embarrassment.
"Hey, Conan," Motota said breathlessly, "Like, not in the clothing store!" β
Nonsense, of course I can see it. Conan smiled bitterly, who made you run so fast, I just said an idea, and you rushed out.
The four of them walked dejectedly, "I'm so hungry!" Yuan Tai complained. Let's go eat! Ayumi suggested.
"Can I go to the bookstore first?" Conan looked at the window and said suddenly.
"Please, there's no food in the bookstore!" Yuan Tai said dissatisfied.
"Just a little bit!" Conan smiled.
β¦β¦
Walking into the bookstore, ignoring the three people laughing at the comics, Conan went straight to the reference book area and began to look up the dictionary.
βOROβ¦β¦ This kind of word should be in English. Conan kept flipping through the dictionary, "Damn, why can't you find it?" Frustrated, he thrust the book back into the shelf. Well? At this time, Conan saw another dictionary next to him, "Italian? β
"This should be, right?" Conan opened the dictionary with the idea of trying it out, and turned to the entry for ORO.
βοΌοΌοΌβ
"It's !!" Conan's eyes widened in disbelief what he was seeing, "ORO...... Gold! Is this really ...... Treasure map?! "A deep sense of absurdity arises.
"Damn!" Conan spat out a word he had learned from Asa Ha, "Is there really such a thing...... Conan shook his head and walked out of the bookstore.
Fast food restaurant.
Ayumi Mitsuhiko and others, who were eating hamburgers and fries, looked at Conan, who was struggling to write. "I've been calculating since just now!" Yuan Tai whispered.
Damn it. Looking at the paper full of words, Conan's heart swelled up with irritation, why! Why can't I solve it? Or am I reasoning wrong? "Damn!" Conan suddenly screamed, startling the three of them.
"That's right!" Ayumi suddenly pointed ahead and shouted excitedly, "This pattern!" It's just like what you draw on paper! β
"What!" Conan looked closely, and the pattern of the cafΓ© opposite was really exactly the same as the one drawn on the paper!
Conan turned around and rushed out of the fast food restaurant and ran to the cafΓ©, "Tsukimi Road......" Conan suddenly woke up, "Could it be that the crescent moon sign refers to Tsukimi Road?" β
"Conan, look!" Ayumi exclaimed, "The sign of the inverted triangle!" β
As soon as Conan looked up, the logo pattern of the next store was really an inverted triangle! "Sure enough! Fish, referring to the aquarium of Tsukimiji! Conan smiled confidently.
"Hmph, sometimes if you are too confident, you will fail." A voice suddenly sounded in Conan's ears.
"Who?" Conan turned around, but there was no one else. Auditory hallucinations? Conan shook his head and continued to run to the other side of Tsukimi Road. But they didn't notice that the three figures behind them had been following them for a long time......
Dusk is approaching, and night is falling.
"At present, the accomplice of the leader of the Italian bandit gang is still at large, and there are three accomplices, one of whom is Japanese, and the three of them have stolen a total of 15,000 maple leaf gold coins worth a total of 600 million yuan......" Watching the news on TV, Mori Kogoro exclaimed while drinking beer: "600 million! That's amazing! β
"Daddy!" A pleasant but angry voice said, it was none other than his daughter, Maolilan.
"Really, what's the mess?" Xiaolan complained, but kept putting her hands away.
"Where's that little ghost?" Mori Kogoro hurriedly changed the subject.
"Conan, you say?" Xiaolan paused, "He made an appointment with a friend this morning and went to the art museum." β
"Cut...... The little ghost is really carefree! Maori Kogoro cut and said sourly.
"Daddy! Why don't you clean up together? β
"Hi, hi!" Kogoro stood up helplessly.
β¦β¦
"Hey, Conan," Mitsuhiko asked Conan, who was also half tired, "why, can't you find the fifth mark?" β
Conan didn't speak, and as he watched the night deepen, he felt a little frustrated in his heart, all of which showed that his reasoning was wrong again.
"Sometimes if you are too confident, you will fail!"
The voice seemed to echo in his ears again, and he sighed, calmed down, and reconsidered.
"ORO is written in Italian, and it seems a little unreasonable to refer to the moon in Japanese," Conan looked up at the night sky, "Crescent ......"
"Let's go!" Conan turned and ran in the direction he started, "Let's go back to where we came!" β
"Huh?!" By Yuan Tai and others who are tired of becoming dogs.
"The moon refers to the night, and the only thing that can see the pattern at night isβ" Conan pointed to the glowing pattern, "Neon!" β
"I see!" Ayumi and the others excitedly shouted, "As long as you find the pattern that matches the neon sign, you can find the treasure!" β
"Yes!" Conan smiled, his broken hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and Kudo Shinichi's wisdom and confidence seemed to awaken again in this young body!
"Look! The sign of the inverted triangle! β
"Rain sign with an umbrella in the weather!"
"The five-pointed star of the Ferris wheel flashes!"
"That's all for the rest!" Conan points to two rectangular neon signs in a hotel.
"But I couldn't find a neon sign in the shape of a fish." Mitsuhiko said dejectedly.
"Fish must represent the river!" As he spoke, he ran towards the river.
No, the previous ones were all neon patterns, and the last one couldn't have been a river. Conan laughed as he looked at the triangular neon sign on the river. "Follow me!"
In the dimly lit hallway, four children moved slowly.
"Conan, how can there be fish here?" Motota asked.
"Look in the direction of the river." Conan said in a calm voice.
"This ......!" Several people were completely stunned.
"The triangular neon signs, the reflection in the river, are the fish patterns! As for the treasure, it should be in the ......"
Conan stepped back step by step, and when a street lamp coincided with the fish's eyes, he felt something under his feet.
"Gold Coin ......" Conan looked up at the thing in his hand, "The black one on the ceiling is ...... I see! Conan pulled it, and two more gold coins fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Wow! What a treasure it really is! Yuan Tai excitedly rushed towards the gold coin, but in the darkness, he stretched out a hand and picked up the gold coin one step ahead.
βοΌοΌβ
"Thank you so much for helping us find the gold coins!"
Three men in sunglasses emerged in the darkness, and the leader sneered, looking at the four children who were at a loss.
"What for! This is the treasure we found! Motota rushed up and grabbed the man's hand.
"Oops!" Conan's heart shuddered. Soon, the four of them were tied up strongly, and Yuan Tai was rewarded with several fists.
"The coins themselves were stolen from Italy a year ago, and this was planned by our boss," said the leader with a sly smile, "but that bastard betrayed us and fled to Japan with the money himself, and when we found him, we found only this." He waved the code in his hand, "When I stopped at the art museum, this code was blown away, and after you picked it up, you really unraveled it!" Thank you so much! Hahahaha! The man laughed.
A pitch-black pistol was pressed against Conan's head, "Tell me the coins!" The man said coldly.
"......" Conan stared at the muzzle of the gun.
"Conan!" Ayumi exclaimed.
"It's fish." Conan suddenly spoke, "When the triangular neon lights on the bridge coincide with the fish pattern, that's where the gold coins are." β
"I see." The man removed the pistol and walked to the window.
"Hey, Conan, why did you tell him?" Yuan Tai whispered, "When he gets the gold coins, he will kill us!" β
ββ¦β¦ He's going to kill us anyway, right? Conan was speechless.
"Mom ......" thought of how she died, and several children couldn't help but sob.
"It's too early to die, isn't it?" Conan spoke, and the children stopped crying and looked at him in amazement.
"We're a boy detective!" Conan's tone was full of hope and determination, "We will never give up!" β
"Well said!" A voice said appreciatively.
"Who!" The three robbers shouted and pulled out their guns one after another.
Seeing that the black shadow on their heads that they thought was a gold coin bag suddenly fell, the three of them hurriedly dodged away, and everyone looked at it, and a delicate face appeared in everyone's eyes.
"Asa Feather!" by Conan
"Asaba-san!" by Motota & Mitsuhiko
"Wow, that's handsome!" by Ayumi
With a light leap, Asa Yu jumped in front of everyone, "Such an interesting thing, how can I, a member of the Junior Detective Group, be absent!" β
"Asaba, you ......" Yuan Tai lowered his head in shame.
Asa Yu smiled softly, "Since we are friends, this little thing is nothing." Looking at Conan again, "I said, if you are too confident, you will fail." β
Conan smiled, "But I know you're going to help me clean it up." β
"You!" Asa Feather shook her head helplessly, then turned sideways, "However, there are a few rats that need to be dealt with!" I'm sorry, but your gold is gone. "The two pupils are like two glittering maple leaf gold coins in the dark, flowing with luxury and majesty.
"You!" The three of them were furious, raised their guns and pointed them at a few people, and Ayumi couldn't help but hide behind Conan in fear.
Asa Yu snorted coldly, and his body flashed like a ghost, and before a few robbers could react, a huge gold coin bag was kicked by Asa Yu.
"Well, the gold you wanted." A faint voice from Asa Ha came. There was a muffled "bang", and the two blonde men fell.
Before the man led by "Shi ......" finished speaking, a fist that gradually enlarged appeared in front of him, and then he lost consciousness.
"S...... Si Guoyi! "Except for Conan, the other three people all have their mouths wide open, especially Motota, whose mouth is wide open enough to stuff an apple......
"How did you find there?" On the way home after the robber is arrested, Conan asks Asaba.
"I didn't find it!" Asa Yu replied flatly.
"Huh?" Conan looked at him stunned.
"You've forgotten where I got my title." Asa Yu said lightly, "Actually, I didn't go far after I separated from you, because I found out that these three rats were following you, and I heard you shouting ORO, so I almost know what's going on." Actually, I have been following you, but I arrived three minutes before you, and I jumped up and borrowed my pocket, and hung myself on it, and I heard you come up. He threw two gold coins down, and the three idiots didn't look up carefully."
"You know Italian?" Conan looked at him suspiciously, "How did I not know?" β
"Just a few words." Asa Yu didn't say much, looking at Conan, "Don't you have anything to ask?" β
"Yes." Conan nodded, "But I think it's part of your privacy, so I didn't ask." Then he smiled, "If you want to say anything, you will tell me yourself." β
"You......" Asa Yu laughed, "I want to ask a question about my strength, right?" β
"That's right." Conan nodded, "I also took that medicine, but the strength has really become the physical strength of a primary school student, and you are obviously not." This ......"
"The medicine is different." Asa Yu interrupted him, "The medicine you and I take is different, I eat a prototype APTX4869 developed by my father, and you take a new medicine that was developed later, although it is still based on the prototype, but there are many ingredients that are already different." So I can probably still save about 40% of my strength. β
"Forty percent!" Conan looked at Asa Yu in surprise, he easily hit three strong adults with only forty percent of his strength, and he couldn't imagine how strong he was.
"Don't think about it anymore," Shallow Ha stopped and chuckled as he walked to the crossroads, "There's a kiss waiting for you when you go back!" Conan, who said this, left a dazed look on his face, and turned to leave.
"This guy...... I love to laugh today! Conan muttered as he walked home.
"Heh, $50 million, that's enough for those guys to bleed once, right?" Looking at the starry sky, Asaoba chuckled.
