Chapter 34: Treasure Hunting

"Well, teacher, we promise not to do it again next time, so forgive us once, okay?" I pleaded with the frosty math teacher with a pitiful look on my face in the teacher's room.

"Alas, Minghui-san......" The math teacher said with a headache covering his forehead, and seeing that Conan and I were looking at him at the same time, he hurriedly said, "Oh, no, I'm talking about Edogawa-san." Edogawa Akiki-san, I've told you many times that although you are very smart, if you don't study hard, sooner or later your intelligence will run out......"

"Yes, yes, teacher, what you said is so right, it makes me feel like I am suddenly enlightened, I am so great, teacher, I will change my past mistakes in the future, study hard, and make progress every day, and from then on I will not hear anything outside the window, and only read the books of sages......" I nodded to the teacher again and again, and the sincerity of his attitude made the other teachers in the teaching room frequently look sideways. Anyway, I seem to have said this many times......

"Alas, every time I talk about you, you say this," the teacher looked at me helplessly, and every time my attitude of admitting my mistakes was so perfect that he was helpless, and wanted to teach me a lesson, but he was helpless and had no idea what to do. The teacher looked at me for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Forget it, I won't pursue your own affairs, but it's okay if you don't do your job, but you don't want to drag Edogawa Conan into the water together, you know, he doesn't have the talent like you, he is not as smart as you, you are fine like this, but it will affect the future ...... of Edogawa Conan."

"Uhh......h

"So, don't think that everyone else is like you, it's easy to learn anything, you can learn it as soon as you learn, Edogawa Conan-san is just an ordinary person, he needs to study down-to-earth in order to constantly make up for his shortcomings......" The teacher was still chattering. Conan was already rolling his eyes, and was gradually foaming at the mouth......

"Hey, are you alright?" I stabbed Conan, snickering inwardly.

"No, it's okay, although I know it's true, but actually hearing others say that, it's really a big blow......" Conan was so inferior that he wanted to get into the cracks in the floor.

"Ah, Conan-Edogawa, you don't have to be discouraged, although your talent is not as good as Edogawa Minghui-san, but you also have a lot of advantages......" After a long time, when Conan was about to turn into a wisp of ashes and drift away in the wind, the teacher finally realized the problem in his words, and quickly turned his head and smiled at Conan.

"It's okay not to force yourself to praise me, ......teacher," Conan said as he looked at the teacher lifelessly.

"Ahem, in short, you can correctly recognize your mistakes, the teacher is very happy, see that you are so sensible, there is no need to write a review, go back to the class. The teacher coughed twice in embarrassment, and said in a dignified manner.

"Yes, thank you for the advice. Conan and I said yes, saluted the teacher, and walked out of the faculty room. Sensible? Is it because I was embarrassed to punish Conan when I was embarrassed to be struck by one of his broken mouths?

"Wow! Conan and Minghui, you can come back alive!" Seeing Conan and I stepping into the classroom, Ayumi and a few people surrounded us, and Ayumi looked at us in surprise.

"It's a miracle, this teacher is the strictest and most terrifying teacher in the entire grade. You have escaped under his eyes, what a gift from heaven!" Mitsuhiko looked at us with a look of "cheer".

"The most severe, the most terrifying?" I said suspiciously, "I didn't feel the severest, but the most terrifying was insightful......"

"What, what did that teacher do to make you feel horrified?" asked Yuan Tai curiously.

"No, I think you should ask Conan about this, he probably has a much deeper experience than I do......" I looked meaningfully at Conan with a dark face.

"What's wrong with Edogawa?" Xiao Ai, who was originally indifferent, also looked at it curiously when he saw Conan's rare depressed appearance.

"The teacher...... It's a demon......" Conan looked up and said slowly, with a loveless expression on his face......

......

Bell...... The bell for the end of school finally rang in anticipation, and the children, who had long been tickled by the adventure, chirped and cheered like birds to the school gates, where Dr. Asasa's Beetle had been waiting for a long time.

"Hey, let's get in the car, I can't wait!" Dr. Asa beckoned us.

"Okay!" everyone responded and swarmed up.

"Speaking of which, Dr. Asasa's car is a lot bigger, and the paint on the outside is brand new...... "After getting in the car, I looked at Dr. Asasa's car suspiciously, the doctor's little beetle used to squeeze into me, Xiao Ai, Conan, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Mayuki, and Motota, and the seven children in the car didn't even have a place to stuff a fly, but now, the children are crowded in, and the car doesn't look crowded.

"yes, my friends asked me to help them make a new product, so they made a lot of money!hahaha!!" Dr. Asa laughed out loud.

"So, what kind of product are you prescribing?" asked Conan, unpleasantly. Obviously, the psychological wounds inflicted on him by the math teacher have not yet healed.

"This is it. Dr. Asasa gave each of the children a few card-like things with masked men on them.

"What is this?" Conan looked at Dr. Asasa.

"The Kamen Man Voice Changer, which allows you to record your own voice and transform it into other voices, is a new product in the Kamen series. Dr. Asa said proudly.

Isn't this a "special edition" of Conan's voice changer...... I complained in my heart.

"What's going on? My Ming, whom you have always looked down on, is now going to be sold nationwide!hahahahaha!!!!haha ”

"Oh, what a big house!" Ayumi said in surprise as everyone got out of the car.

"Is this really Dr. Asasa's uncle's villa?" Mitsuhiko asked Dr. Asasa.

"Yes, my uncle's name is Kurisuke Agasa, and he is a well-known and wealthy man in this area. He hid a large fortune fifty years ago and died shortly after, so this time I want to use the wisdom of your young detective team to help me find out. Dr. Asasa turned to the children.

"It seems to be true. ”

"yes, it wasn't the Doctor who came here to hide the treasure beforehand. ”

"Didn't I say that the Doctor wouldn't lie to us kids. Right, Doctor?" the children excited, and Ayumi asked the Doctor happily.

"Uh...... Ah, of course...... Aha...... "In the face of the child's expectant and innocent gaze, Dr. Asa laughed dryly.

Damnation will be upon you for betraying the trust of the little ones, Doctor. I secretly despised Dr. Asa in my heart, and turned my gaze to the villa in front of me. According to what the doctor just said, this villa has not been lived in for at least 50 years, and it is not too much to say that it is a famous local rich man in terms of the economic level of Japan 50 years ago, but after 50 years of ups and downs, the villa in front of me looks dilapidated, and I really doubt that after we go in, this house will suddenly collapse.

"I'm really worried about our safety. Xiao Ai looked at the villa beside me and said lightly.

Mayuno habitually pulled me into the corner again, standing behind me and not speaking.

"It doesn't matter, when the house collapses, there will naturally be tall people on top. I smiled and looked at Dr. Asasa's shiny bald head with some unkindness.

As soon as they entered the villa, the children excitedly ran around and rummaged around for the treasure in their target.

"Not here. ”

"Not here. ”......

I was quite interested in the furnishings in this fifty-year-old villa relative to the so-called treasures here. So while the others were chattering about the so-called treasures in the living room, I was wandering through the rooms of the villa, and Xiao Ai and Mayu followed me as a matter of course.

"It's an interesting thing. "Next to the bed in one of the bedrooms, I found a small one-dollar coin.

"It's just a regular one-dollar coin, probably dropped by the doctor. Xiao Ai glanced at him.

"No, this coin is kind of interesting. As I spoke, I took out an identical coin from my pocket and compared: "Sure enough, it's smaller than a normal coin." I smiled.

"Really, and there is a problem with the timing of the printing on this coin, ......you see," Xiao Ai approached the coin in my hand, looked at it carefully, and suddenly pointed to the coin and said to me.

I looked in the direction of Xiao Ai's finger, and the words "Showa Thirty Years" were printed on it.

"In the 30th year of the Showa era, the earliest time of this kind of coin should be 1955, only more than 40 years ago, according to the doctor, this villa should not have been inhabited 50 years ago. In this way, after the death of the doctor's uncle, there should still be someone living here, and it should be an old man with nimble fingers. I muttered.

"I can understand the dexterity of my fingers, but why is it an old man, and why do you live here?"

"Because of this character," I said, pointing to the word "country" on the coin, "the traditional Chinese character is generally only used by older people." And hand-engraved coins are time-consuming, and you can't live here......"

At this time, the children suddenly rushed in.

"Eh, why did you get in?" I was surprised.

"Of course we're here to hunt for treasure, have you found it?" asked Yuanta.

"No, please take care of yourselves. I smiled and leaned over and made a "please" gesture to them.

"Ahh

"Just give it a try. Conan smiled and encouraged Ayumido.

"Okay, I'm here. Motota rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to place the toy airplane on the table. Conan stood there, holding his chin with his hand, looking puzzled.

"What's wrong?" I asked, walking up to him.

"No, we've got a strange code under the candlesticks and saucers in the living room downstairs. Conan said as he handed me a piece of paper, and I took it and looked at it, and saw that it was full of broken stars, suns, moons, and other strange symbols.

"This code...... It looks familiar......" I muttered as I looked at the piece of paper.

"What?!, have you seen it somewhere?," Conan said to me urgently.

"Let me think about it......" I searched for memories in my mind.

"Ha! I found it!" At this time, only the cheers of the children were heard, and Yuan Tai pulled out a box from under the bed.

"Strange, I did put a plane on the table, but I don't remember getting it......" Dr. Asa said strangely.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Ayumi excitedly looked at the box pulled out from under the bed.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Yuan Tai carefully opened the box, but as soon as the box was opened, everyone's faces changed.

"Ahh I saw that the box was full of toys and dolls that had been scarred by knives, stacked together, and it looked extremely terrifying, just like cursed dolls in ancient times, which made people feel cold.

"It's too much, it's cut like this with a knife. Ayumi couldn't bear to look at the doll that had been cut by the knife, and her face was full of distress.

"I think the treasure collector must be trying to scare us. Mitsuhiko said with a heavy face.

"No, the Doctor wouldn't do that......" Conan muttered as he said in a deep voice.

"Bo...... Doctor?"

"You say the toys are hidden by the Doctor?" the children were surprised.

"Hmm," Conan nodded, "He's here to play a treasure hunt with you." ”

"That is to say, after the doctor put the things away, someone came in to look for something, saw the secret message left by the doctor, and found these toys, and became angry. I muttered.

"Looking for something, is that the place indicated on the code of the stars and the sun?" said Conan, mused.

"Looks like it should be. I answered.

"Hey, what are you talking about, don't leave us out!" Motota shouted at us in dissatisfaction.

"That's right, we're also part of the Junior Detective Corps!" Mitsuhiko said.

"Acting alone is already the usual behavior of Conan and Minghui. Abu Mei said with resentment.

"It's the strange code of the sun, moon, and stars that you have now. Conan smiled at Ayumi and the others.

"Are those ciphers, you say?" Mitsuhiko said in surprise.

"Probably. Conan nodded, then turned to me and said, "How's it going?"

"No," I shook my head, "just vaguely remembered, but not really, I need a little more hints, you can go to the living room and see if you can find more codes." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. Conan nodded and said to Ayumi: "Then everyone, let's go look for it now and see if there are any other codes!"

"Good!" the children replied excitedly.

Half an hour later, I found 7 more codes, on playing cards, French dictionaries, records, airplanes, wine glasses, oil paintings, and puppets, plus the three codes that Conan showed me before, a total of ten sets of codes.

"I've heard from my aunt that my uncle was very fond of these dolls. Dr. Asasa saw the doll and suddenly interjected.

"How's it going? or is it not going to work?" asked Conan.

"Well, it would be nice if there were some longer ones, like articles or whatever, like a diary or a letter," I mused. Wait, letter? I seem to have a vague memory of something.

"Faith, by the way, I remember!" Hearing my words, Dr. Asa suddenly realized, "It's faith, didn't I say before that where I saw that figure? ”

"Is the aunt you are talking about?" I asked, pointing to the oil painting on the side.

"Yes, that was ten years ago, and she said that every year there were letters sent to her without the sender's address and name, and because it was strange, my aunt showed it to me. I remember that all the content was written in hiragana, like "Hello Teacher", "Take care of your body" and so on. Dr. Asasa recalled.

"Couldn't it have been sent by her students, didn't you say she had been an elementary school teacher?" asked Yuantai.

"Probably not, because it's been written in hiragana for ten years. Dr. Asa said.

"So, what do those letters have to do with the code?" asked Conan to Dr. Asasa.

"The letters were all painted with those symbols, around the hiragana letters, like lace. Dr. Asasa said.

"And what about the letters?" Conan continued.

"Because I can't read it at all, I'm going to ask your dad...... Ah, no," Dr. Asasa immediately changed his tune after realizing his mistake, "I asked a mystery novelist friend who lives nearby......"

I see! I see! When I heard Dr. Asasa's words, I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, my father and I had deciphered a coded letter with this symbol......

I pulled out the journal and pen I had brought with me and drew on it...... So, so...... If I'm not mistaken, it should have been deciphered like this...... My pen writes quickly in my journal.

"The novelist was not very happy at first because he was uninspired...... "Dr. Asasa continued to reminisce about the scene as I deciphered the code," "but when he saw the letters, he suddenly became excited. He took the letters back into the house, came out in a few minutes, and said to me, 'Help me give this letter to your aunt, ah~ It's so much fun, the doctor is like the sun, thanks to you, my gloomy mood is swept away, hahaha......"

"What's in that letter?" asked Genta curiously.

"I don't know. Dr. Asasa shook his head.

"I guess it's 'this'. "I'll show them the deciphered diary paper. Thinking that Conan was still doubting my identity, I deliberately used the word "should".

"What?!Have you already deciphered it?!" Conan swooped down and snatched the paper from my hand, staring at it for a moment and said, "I see, I see! It's exactly what I thought before!" Conan exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes, the code is hiragana, and the content of the heart is all written in hiragana, which actually means that you should use hiragana to read the patterns around you. I laughed.

"However, even if we know that the code is hiragana, it will be difficult to decipher these secrets. Xiao Ai stepped forward and picked up a vase, looked at the code at the bottom of the bottle, and smiled at me: "You can get it." ”

"Actually, it's not difficult at all," I said with a smile, "For example, the black sun, the white sun, the moon, and the stars and the black moon and stars all have similar patterns to them, but the black sun does not have them, and in hiragana, there are neither segments nor lines, and there is only 'ん' alone, and so on, and other characters can be deduced." ”

"Then according to this decipherment table, these codes become playing cards......" Conan picked up a wine glass and looked at the code on it.

"Then this is to look at the propellers. Xiao Ai casually picked up the candlestick beside him and looked at it.

"Then this is to see the portrait!" Motota said excitedly, pointing to the code on the propeller of the toy airplane in his hand.

"This is a vase!" ......

"This is a stove!" ......

Soon, all the codes were deciphered, but to the children's dismay, the last code in the fireplace read: Look at the plates. A qiē seems to have suddenly returned to square one.

The children began to put things back in their places in frustration, while Conan and I scrutinized the code. There is no problem with deciphering the table, but is the problem with the code? Is this qiē really just a prank by the master? I frowned and pondered, Conan also looked in trouble.

"Hey, you two can help too, don't just stand there and get in the way!" Dr. Asa shouted to Conan and me.

"Huh?" Conan and I looked up at the same time, and suddenly, we had an incident at the same time, it turned out that after the items were put back in place, we connected the items in the order of the password, and the result was that all the threads were in the middle of the living room!

Conan and I looked at the floor under our feet very well, and no problem? That's on my head!

"Doctor, come and carry me! Hurry up!" Conan said urgently, looking at the chandelier.

"Oh, good. Dr. Asa answered, and for some unknown reason, he walked over and put Conan on his shoulder. Conan twisted the chandelier with his hand, only to hear a "click" of gears turning, and then a "boom!", the living room shook, and something big seemed to have fallen upstairs.

"Let's go and see what's going on!" I screamed and ran upstairs as fast as I could. Everyone quickly followed, and in the process of running, I secretly held the telescopic steel rod that Dr. Asa had modified for me in my hand to prevent accidents. Because one of the two pistols I bought some time ago was thrown in Miss Natsumi's castle, and the other was thrown into the fire at the Kakudo Hotel after I killed Pisco, I had to turn the stick out again. Fortunately, after the doctor's transformation, when the steel rods were all shrunk together, they were only as long as a finger, as thick as a sausage, I held them in my hands, and ordinary people couldn't see them if they didn't pay attention to them, and there was a small button on it, as long as you pressed it gently, the steel rod would immediately pop out and become a stick more than one meter long, which was very convenient.

From the first to the second floor of the bedroom, a staircase hidden in the attic is in view. To the astonishment of the people who followed me upstairs.

"I go ahead, and you follow me. I turned back to the crowd and went up the stairs first. This time the opponent may not be a good person, but the thought of the toy under the bed that was cut to tatters made me secretly vigilant, and the steel rod in my hand tightened.

To my surprise, when I got upstairs, there was no one lying in ambush except for a skeleton lying on the table.

"How's it going?" asked Conan, who walked up and opened the window to me.

"Only one skeleton remained. I pointed to the skeleton and said to Conan.

"It looks like it's the end of your life. Conan walked over and picked up the vial next to the bones and looked at it.

"Well, and it looks like he's the one who draws the code and engraves the coin. I pointed to the half-drawn cipher under the bones.

"Coins?" Conan looked at me quizzically.

"This is it," I flicked the dollar coin to Conan with a "ding" of my thumb, "I found it next to the bed in my bedroom." ”

"Oh, I see. Conan looked at the coin for a moment.

"But why is he in this room? I know that only my uncle and aunt who live here should be here. Dr. Asasa wondered.

"No, you've forgotten someone. I laughed.

"I forgot someone?"

"It's the painter who painted your uncle's portrait. Conan laughed.

"Oh, yes, I see. Dr. Asa suddenly realized.

"I think he probably heard your uncle mention this room when he was painting. Conan said to Dr. Asa as he fumbled around the corpse, trying to find something more interesting.

"But why did he live here? ”

"I guess that's why. Conan said as he tossed a box of cuboids to Dr. Asasa.

"Hmm, what is this?" Dr. Asa took it and looked at it, his face immediately changing color, "This...... This is...... Template for a twenty dollar bill, a counterfeit bill!"

"I guess he was commissioned by someone, but he probably felt a sense of conscience later, so he disappeared with the template, and secretly lived here to hide from that person. I smiled and glanced at the half-written cipher letter on the table, which was only half-written, but it didn't hinder my reasoning.

"Well, I'm writing to thank your aunt for letting him live here, and by using a secret word because I don't want anyone to know he's here, and as for the person who broke the toy before, it's probably the client......," Conan continued.

"Exactly. At this moment, a gloomy voice suddenly appeared behind us, and we turned around in shock, and a middle-aged man with a dark vulture face walked up from the entrance of the stairs with a sneer, still holding a gun in his hand.

The little ones screamed and hid behind Conan and me.

"I finally found him, thinking that I could get the template, but who knew that it was a toy, so I cut them up. Because I heard that he is very familiar with the owner here, so I have always suspected that he is still hiding here, but I didn't expect that there is this room, thank you children. The man said with a sneer.

Conan slowly squatted down, as if he wanted to use his strength booster shoes to solve him, but before Conan could make a move, the man raised his hand and shot him, "Bang!" and exploded on the edge of Conan's shoe, so that Conan did not dare to move at all.

"Don't move! I don't want to kill, and if you hit the template, it's useless. The man's face was gloomy, and he looked particularly terrifying.

Damn! I stared at the pistol in the man's hand, but I didn't dare to move, if it was just me, I was ninety percent sure that I would dodge the bullet and kill the man in front of me, but now there is a group of children behind me, if I dodge away, the children behind me will inevitably be shot! Damn! I held the steel rod in my hand tightly, and my palms were slightly sweaty.

"Little sister over there," the man suddenly said to Mayu, who was huddled behind me, "yes, it's you, take the template from the old man's hand and give it to me." ”

"Don't be afraid, Mayuki. I soothed the slightly trembling truth and said, "Let's do as he says first." ”

"Hmm. Mayu nodded, went to Dr. Asasa and walked towards the man.

"By the way, good boy, I will reward you when I hand it over to my uncle. Watching Mayu walk in his direction step by step, the man's expression began to get carried away.

I stared closely at Mayu's back, as long as the man moved a little, even if I went up and was shot, I would never let Mayu be hurt in the slightest. But now this kind of person who allows others to threaten the lives of those around me makes me feel crazy and extremely unhappy, and I want to kill people now. The invisible murderous aura began to slowly diffuse.

Seeing that the real reason was getting closer and forward, the man actually loaded the bullet of the gun!

I was about to rush forward, when suddenly, Conan swung his arm away, stopping Mayu's footsteps, and I stopped and looked at Conan suspiciously, what is this guy going to do?

"Stink...... Stinky boy, are you looking for death?"

"Don't worry, I'll give you this thing later, Okuda Lunming...... Mr. Conan said to the man with a strange expression.

"Ah, how do you know my name?!" Man, no, it should be said that Okuda Lunming was surprised and inexplicable.

"He told me just now," Conan said, gesturing to the bones on the side.

"Hmph, how could a corpse speak?!" Okuda Lunming's face changed slightly, and he still stiffened.

"If you listen carefully, you can hear that his undead must still be here!" Conan said with a mysterious expression. I already had a little grasp of Conan's plan, and I began to prepare silently.

"Hahaha, you stinky boy, you're quite bold......" As if to hide the fear in his heart, Okuda Lunming was a little nervous, but before he could finish speaking, a low and gloomy voice came from the air: "Okuda Lunming...... Okuda Lunming ......, "And the voice is getting stronger and stronger, in this gloomy environment, it looks extremely terrifying."

"Ahhhhhh!!h

I saw the right time, flew forward, pulled out the single, and before Okuda Lunming could react, a stick was slammed into the major artery in his neck, Okuda Lunming didn't snort, and fell to the ground and fainted.

"Is it okay to faint? It's not over yet!" I said with a low grin, holding a steel rod towards Okuda Lunming, now the light is unknown, I have my back to the light, the child can't see the purpose of the action, at most think that I am killing someone by mistake, and can testify for me is justified defense.

But others can't see it, but Conan and Xiao Ai can see it clearly, one is that I have known me for many years and knows my character that I will repay, and the other is intuition.

"Stop!" Conan yelled at me, but I ignored it.

Walking up to Okuda Lunming, I raised the steel rod in my hand, as long as I did, this scum would disappear from the world.

I waved down!

"Ding!" Just as my steel rod was about to hit Okuda Lunming, the template suddenly flew over and hit my steel rod, and the powerful force made my single stick instantly get out of my hand.

"What do you want to do?!What do you want to do?!You sue me!You say!" Conan shouted at me as he pulled me by the collar, and the bruises on his face protruded and looked particularly hideous. The children had never seen Conan like this, and they were all a little scared to come near us.

"I didn't do anything, I just knocked him out. "Since the action has been interrupted by Conan, it is impossible to continue, so I shrugged and said scoundrelly.

"You just wanted to kill him, right?! You are attempted murder! You are committing a crime! I understand, you will definitely not be his! I had expectations for you before, but Yuichi is different from you! Although he is also very promiscuous, he is kind-hearted, and he will never treat human life like you! I will definitely testify to you for attempted murder this time! You wait!" Conan said with red eyes and gritted his teeth at me.

"Yes, it's up to you what you want to do, I said from the beginning, I'm not the person you said......" I sneered and broke Conan's hand, but I sighed secretly in my heart: "Brother, ten years is enough time to change a person, and I'm no longer the Kudo Yuichi I was back then......
