Chapter 450: Dusk Annex
Shiraishi saw Belmode's less obvious expression of horror, and at the same time felt that she seemed to have a murderous aura.
He thought about it and understood, and simply answered Belmode's question just now: "I don't know, I originally wanted to wait until I parked before leaving, but the person sitting next to me ...... It should be Shuichi Akai. He wasn't too affected by the anesthetic gas, I shot him, but he dodged it, and he took you away first. ”
"Yes." Belmode pressed the corner of his forehead.
She didn't doubt that Shuichi Akai could shoot a dodge-gun even if he was immersed in hypnotic gas—this was all a routine operation of the hanging ratio. She only thinks that judging from Cologne's words, Shuichi Akai should have successfully controlled the vehicle, so that the bus probably won't have an accident.
Of course, Belmode didn't blame Coren for not fighting Akai Shuichi for 300 rounds, in her opinion, Coren's behavior was more reasonable - he ran away with her first if he missed a hit, which was in line with the basic code of conduct of a little fan brother.
And Akai Shuichi is almost a nightmare for all members of the organization, and it is not without members who are frightened by his eyes and dare not move, Coren is in contact with Akai Shuichi at such a close distance, he can fight and run, and he can escape successfully, which is already considered to be a good performance.
After the effect of the anesthetic wore off, Belmode stood up and said that she had something to do and asked her teammates to go first—she hurried to check the situation on the bus, mainly to see if Conan was safe.
Bai Shi reluctantly watched her leave, then opened the light screen and looked at it, but didn't see any new tasks, so he was relieved to leave.
After reaching a place where he couldn't rub the buff of the black-clothed organization and was far enough away from the dangerous people, he switched into the form of a cat and returned home with the Poké Ball on the bus.
……
After Shiraishi arrived home, he simply cleaned up, then took out the magazine he bought before going out and threw it on the sofa, planning to go to the Xiaoice box to get a bottle of Coke again, and then start a happy day.
But when he opened the refrigerator door, he found that the Coke was finished, and there was only juice in it.
He remembered that there was still a large bucket in the café to fool the guests who accidentally got lost and walked in, so Shiraishi took a cup and planned to pour it back.
As soon as he walked to the counter, Butterfly Shinobu put down the purple bubbling pot, wiped his hands on his apron, and handed him an envelope with a smile.
As soon as Shiraishi touched the envelope, he saw an extra task in the taskbar.
He sighed, "How do I feel like you're about to become an NPC that issues tasks. ”
Butterfly Shinobu picked up the colander again, reached into the pot and continued to stir, the world network is becoming more and more developed, and when she waited next to the pot, she also played a lot of games, and now she knows a lot more about society than before.
Hearing Shiraishi's words, she thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate: "Compared to NPCs, I should be more like a mailbox with an automatic reminder function, and the commissions of NPCs are stuffed to me." ”
Shiraishi thought about it and thought that it was, at least he saved the time of going to the real mailbox to get the letter.
As a person who is not very accustomed to receiving letters, if no one reminds him, Shiraishi sometimes can't remember to go through the mailbox, and often opens it only to find that there are a lot of things stuffed inside.
Shiraishi pinched the letter, originally lacking interest.
Unexpectedly, I opened it at random, poured it down, and there was an extra check in my hand.
Looking over and looking at it, the amount is two million.
“!”
Shiraishi put down the Coke glass, put his fingers into the envelope again, and took out a folded piece of paper from inside.
It appears to be an invitation that reads:
[I have admired the daimyo for a long time, and I hope to take the time to come and share dinner.]
- Forsaken by the Gods, Phantom Boy] New Town
"......" Bai Shi stared at the signature, which was almost longer than the main text, and felt a breath of middle two coming to his face.
If it weren't for the check for real money, he might have suspected that it was a prank by some junior high school kid.
However, after looking down slightly, after seeing the dining address, Shiraishi immediately knew who this phantom boy who was abandoned by the gods was.
"Dusk annex ......" As soon as Shiraishi said these words, he felt as if a piece of yellow gold flashed in front of his eyes.
The long, middle two signature of "God's Forsaken: Phantom Boy" can actually be converted into "kid" after a series of analyses, that is, Kidd the Strange Thief.
It's just that this invitation wasn't from Kidd - the strange thief has been used as a summons again.
Of course, Shiraishi remembers this case, and it's not all because of gold, but mainly because it involves the main line, and it's still very lively, and the atmosphere is tense...... Well, the main thing is because of gold.
The Dusk Annex was originally the castle of the Karasuma family, and it is said that it contains precious treasures.
Forty years ago, in order to find it, Karasuma Renya invited many scholars to this remote castle, but the scholars have not been able to find the location of the treasure.
In order to make them do their best, Karasuma Renya killed the scholars in the museum one by one.
One of the archaeologists sensed that something was wrong and manipulated the letter to his wife and daughter, and he used a needle to stab a hidden code word in the letter paper and tell his family what had happened in the castle.
However, the family was unable to identify the problem at the time.
It wasn't until twenty years passed that his daughter, Chima Descendant, finally discovered the words left by her father.
At this time, the prosecution period of the case had passed, and when Senma went to inquire about the castle, he learned that the Karasuma family had fallen into the middle of the road and sold the castle, and Karasuma Renya was nowhere to be found, and it was said that he had died.
On the one hand, she hates the person who killed her father, and on the other hand, as a well-known easy chair detective, she has the nature of most detectives in this world, and is full of curiosity about hidden treasures.
For twenty years, Chima has been looking for relevant information, but has never found anything, and then she accidentally leaked the matter and was heard by a detective friend.
This detective named Ojo Zhuzen was in debt, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt that his life had taken a turn for the better.
He found the castle, bought it, and went on a frenzied search for treasure, but couldn't find it.
Later, he had a whim, planning to use the name of the strange thief Kidd to find a few detectives to come over, trap them, and let these colleagues help solve the mystery.
Thinking of this, Shiraishi suddenly felt a little regretful.
The "treasure" of the Dusk Annex is actually this entire castle made of gold - after turning the right mechanism, the castle's shell will fall off, and the gold will be fully exposed. Such a large lump of gold is far more valuable than that remote castle, and the castle is earned when it is bought.
But no matter how cheap it is, it's still a castle after all.
Shiraishi searched the price on the Internet and found that it was more than twice his current deposit, and even if he scraped together enough money, the current owner of the castle would definitely not sell, and it would be illegal to buy and sell outside of the mission.
If you think about it, even if you get the castle, what to do with that large amount of gold is a problem.
There are waves of robbers in this world, and it is not complete that banks and jewelry stores have not been robbed. And speaking of which, that castle was also once Karasuma Renya's thing, and Karasuma Renya was the boss of the black-clothed organization, and if he picked it up on his head, who knows if it will be secretly targeted......
If you tell the tool man family about this, maybe you can have some room for manipulation.
But Shiraishi remembered the previous hint of position binding, and decided to be on the safe side and clear the relationship. Who knows what the situation of the tool man family is, in case it is a big ship that is about to sink, if he does this, wouldn't it be equivalent to stepping on one foot himself.
