26 The demeanor of that shot
"Imps are imps after all......"
After watching Conan and the others drop the note and leave the garbage heap, the three men in white suits who had been following them walked out of the alley where they were hiding behind.
One of them, the black-haired, Asian-looking man, picked up the crumpled note, unfolded it, and said, Then he looked at the note, and put it in his pocket—
"Cabane, where the hell did you hide the gold coins......
Muttering to himself, somewhat helplessly, the dark-haired man said this before leaving with two other blonde foreigners.
In this regard, Conan, who had already detoured here from another way and was hiding behind, looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, leaned against the wall and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief-
"Great, that's fine. Ayumi and the others will be safe when they go home, and after those guys get the treasure map back, they shouldn't be following us anymore...... However, I really didn't think about it, this is a real treasure map! ”
Thinking like this, Conan took out his notebook and turned a page, on which the contents of the treasure map had already been copied -
"Judging from their conversations, it may be that the leader is hiding gold coins or something, and their accomplices are using a treasure map to find ......"
Looking at the transcribed content, Conan smiled a little smugly, and turned the brim of the cap that was originally on his head from his head to his face—
"In that case, then I'm also - starting a treasure hunt!"
Thinking like this, Conan ran back to the Eiffel Tower, and it was night, and the neon lights flashed on the streets—
"What a serious mistake. It is illogical for a man who uses the Italian word oro to denote gold coins, but draws the moon to denote the Japanese word for Tsukimiji...... In other words, the symbol should simply mean the moon – that is, the night! And the thing that can only be seen at night, it is neon signs! ”
Thinking of this, Conan smoothly started from the Eastern Capital Tower, and found the neon lights corresponding to the symbols on the map one by one, so far Conan understood that such a line of thinking must be correct-
"Good! I must find the gold before the bandit group, and then ...... Hand it over to the police! ”
"You're thinking so beautiful!"
Conan was thinking so, but a shout from Motota surprised Conan.
Looking back, I saw Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Motota, who were staring at themselves with angry faces, and then-
"You're too cunning Conan!"
Ayumi shouted.
"You want to take the treasure alone!"
Yuan Tai said angrily.
"Humph! Don't try to hide it from my eyes! ”
Mitsuhiko said seriously.
"Ah...... This ......"
Seeing the three people who went and returned, Conan was a little overwhelmed for a while, and then the three of them began to ask again:
"Speak quickly!"
"How can I find the treasure!"
"Conan!"
Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi each said one by one, which made Conan feel helpless, and it seemed that there was no way to get rid of them now.
However, thinking that the accomplices of the three bandit groups had already taken back the note and left, it should no longer threaten everyone's safety, so Conan, who sighed, still told them how to crack the message of the note-
"What, it's that simple."
After listening to Conan's narration, Ayumi and the three couldn't help but smile proudly, "Just find a neon sign of the same shape, it's too easy!" ”
The three of them looked at Conan's transcription and said, while Conan looked around to make sure that there were no figures of the three men in white suits in the vicinity, and there should be no danger.
So, Conan took Ayumi and the three of them with peace of mind and embarked on a treasure hunt together, and quickly found all the neon lights except for the last fish-shaped neon sign.
In front of the building where the neon sign corresponding to the penultimate figure is located, Motota thinks of the river near the building for the last fish-shaped figure, and then rushes to the river to look for it, which makes Conan very helpless.
However, when Conan saw the triangular neon signs on the bridge over the river, Conan finally understood where the gold coins were hidden, and he couldn't help but laugh -
"Hee-hee-hee...... Hahaha! ”
The smug laughter became louder and louder, making Ayumi and the others on the side feel strange, so Conan turned his head and said proudly:
"Finally got me! Glowing fish! ”
As he spoke, he ran towards the original building and explained that the so-called glowing fish is the way to see the neon lights on the bridge and the image reflected in the river, and the place where you can see this is in that building!
So, Conan took Ayumi and the others and ran up to the building that had not yet been completely completed, came to the room on the highest floor, and found a place where you could see this scene.
"So, the treasure is here?"
Seeing this scene, Yuan Tai couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
Gu Yan
"But it's so dark in here!"
Ayumi said with some fear.
"It looks like there's no light."
Mitsuhiko added.
"That's what you're looking for, Conan."
Motota asked.
"Don't worry."
Conan reassured, "If you want that bridge to look like the shape of this fish, there's only one angle......"
As he spoke, Conan looked at the scene outside the window, took the figure and slowly retreated, and then saw the maple leaf gold coin that fell to the ground.
"Gold!"
Picking it up, Conan said in surprise, and looked up to find several large packages hanging from the ceiling—
"Thank you so much! Imps! ”
Suddenly, a large hand snatched the gold from Conan's hand and smirked.
Conan looked up and saw the three men in white suits, standing in front of him—how could it be! Are you on the run......
"Give it back to me! That's the treasure we found! ”
Seeing that the gold coins were robbed, Mrs. Yuan stepped forward unwillingly, and said while pulling the black-haired man.
In response to this, the three of them were angry and divided by two, so they subdued Conan and the others, tied them up with ropes piled up here, and then began to look for where the remaining gold coins were hidden.
"Hey, Conan, those people are ......"
Faced with what happened at this moment, Mitsuhiko began to ask in fear.
"It's an Italian bandit group."
"I saw on TV that the head of the Italian bandit ring was arrested yesterday, and three of his accomplices are at large, and the gold coins they robbed have not yet been found......," Conan said.
"That's right, as you think."
At this moment, the black-haired man walked up to the spot where Conan had first found the gold coins, looked up and saw the packages, and laughed:
"These gold coins were stolen from the Bank of Italy a year ago on the instructions of our boss Cabane. But the man betrayed us, and disappeared with the gold alone. So when we found his whereabouts in Japan, no matter how much we pressed him, we refused to tell him the whereabouts of the gold coins, and only found this treasure map from his room. We had no choice but to inform the police of his residence and follow the treasure map to find the gold coins ourselves......"
As he spoke, the black-haired man took out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Conan and the others:
"Thanks to you, after you got the treasure map, you actually found the location of the gold coins. Well, you're useless......"
As he spoke, the black-haired man was about to shoot, and Conan and the others also felt that something was wrong, and there was no room for resistance......
But at this moment, suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which surprised everyone present-
"Help!"
Hearing that there was someone outside the door, regardless of it, Ayumi and the others began to shout for help.
"Shut up!"
The man in black shouted viciously, but the knocking on the door still didn't stop, but it didn't seem to mean to come in, which was a little strange.
"What a person!"
In this regard, the black-haired man was a little angry, but because he was the only one who had a firearm, after glancing at the other two blonde foreigners, the black-haired man took the gun and took the initiative to walk towards the door, ready to deal with the outsiders by the way-
Then, at the moment when he cautiously opened the door to check, a needle-like thing shot from under his body to the black-haired man's head, and then the black-haired man felt an irresistible sleepiness and fell asleep-
The sudden change surprised several people in the room, and at the same time, the door was opened-
A small figure, appearing at the door, crouched down, picked up the pistol in the black-haired man's hand, held it, and then shot directly above the position where the two blond men were standing, the pile of packages—
The short brown hair fluttered in the moonlight outside the house, the ice blue eyes, revealing a sassy look, and the action of shooting with guns in both hands was not dragged -
With one blow, the package containing fifteen thousand maple leaf gold coins that was originally tied to the ceiling suddenly smashed down, knocking the two blonde men standing directly below completely stunned-
The three accomplices of the bandit group who were on the run all lost their resistance, and the crisis of Conan and others was lifted.
"Ash ...... Gray Plains......"
Looking at the sassy figure outside the door, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi couldn't help but be a little surprised, but more moved.
And Conan couldn't help but feel palpitations when he watched this scene, but more than that, he was surprised.
Then, outside, the sirens blared......
