When......

When I returned home, I was thinking about today's conversation with Koizumi Hongzi, and I learned from her that there was a prop called "World", and its special features may be related to time, so is it possible, that I don't know the so-called trial, if you want to pass successfully, you have to find a way in time?

After all, if the opening scene is a dead end, you don't even have any time to react, and in any case, it's too difficult.

And if you can make a change in time, is it possible that you have to use the "limited item" of "world" to overcome that trial?

After all, "you can reproduce the real world in a dream" is the only item you know, and the trial itself is indeed conducted in a dream, so the prop may play a role in the trial, and it is not completely illogical.

However, having said that, since I don't know the function of this item at all, so far, I still can't try the second trial-

Unless you have the opportunity, you can understand the effect of this prop.

However, since I didn't pass the trial, I didn't completely unlock the item, so I don't know the specific function of this item......

So, went back again......

If you don't pass the trial, you don't know the specific effect of the props, and if you want to pass the trial, it seems that you have to use the effects of the props......

Endless loop?

Helplessly, Gao Yuan sighed-

After all, it's impossible for you to spend "1000 bounty" to try out this prop and understand the function of the prop, right?

It's too costly, and it's not always possible to try out the specific effects of the props.

So, let's wait until later, when necessary, to try to use this prop again-

There may be a connection between the dream, and the "world" and the "wheel of fortune" suggested by the "Queen of Swords......

I always feel that there may be a day when I will have to use this prop.

Thinking like this, looking at the watch in his hand, Gao Yuan temporarily relaxed, not thinking about the props, and the trial, just using this watch as a watch, it seems to be quite good-

Because, no matter how you look at it, this piece of castle mound jade gave me a watch, and the more I look at it, the more I like it.

So, Gao Yuan couldn't help but take a closer look at this watch, and after a while, after careful study, Gao Yuan determined that this watch with a pure automatic mechanical movement turned out to be an ultra-complex mechanical watch with the function of a perpetual calendar.

Among them, the one that is at ten o'clock on the dial forms an inscribed pattern with the circle of the dial, and the digital circle where the hour and minute hands are located naturally displays the hours and minutes.

In the remaining blank space, there is a separate disc composed of two concentric circles, and the inner and outer circles refer to the month and date......

Originally, because there was no year counter, Gao Yuan thought it was a full-calendar watch, but now, Gao Yuan suddenly found that the starry sky map on the back of the watch was actually rotating, and this starry sky chart seemed to play a role in identifying the year.

In this way, there is a year recognition function, which means that leap years can be recognized......

So, this is a perpetual calendar watch that automatically recognizes all special year and month sizes!

In addition, at six o'clock on the clock ring, there is a round skeletonized tourbillon, and at three o'clock there is a moon phase disc......

Extremely complex and astonishing mechanical structure......

Or "Vacheron Constantin"......

Is the real value of a watch of this design really only about 5 million yen as I thought at the beginning?

The brand's perpetual calendar mechanical watch alone is currently worth around 50 million yen......

And as a real-life item that carries the prop of "world", the higher the value, the better......

What kind of watch did you give yourself?

Now that the watch has become your own prop, it is impossible to return it to you......

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan always felt that he owed a little bit to the castle mound jade-

Or is this what she wants?

While thinking about it, Gao Yuan only heard that the door of the villa was opened.

Gao Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, turned his head to look, and saw that it was Xiao Ai-

"I'm back."

At this time, she was carrying a large bag of snacks and returned to the mansion, and then she deliberately raised her tone to Gao Yuan, who was already in the house, and said so, and then threw the bag of snacks at the entrance, changed her shoes first, and walked into the house-

"Help me get it in."

Faintly, walking into the living room, Xiao Ai seemed to see that Gao Yuan was a little indifferent, so he said to Gao Yuan.

"Oh, what a ......"

To this, Gao Yuan responded like this, got up and went to the entrance, and carried the bag of snacks into the house-

"Buying so many snacks? Is it the kids who are coming here to play? ”

Seeing this large amount, it is not like the amount that Xiao Ai will buy in normal times, so he thought about it for a while and asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Wai took a glass of water, he should be a little thirsty, drank the water all, and then just said lightly:

"Tomorrow the whole class is going to go on a hike in the countryside, so I prepared some snacks with the group of children."

"Hiking in the suburbs......"

In this regard, listening to Xiao Ai's words, Gao Yuan nodded silently, then looked at Xiao Ai's bag of snacks, and then proposed:

"In that case, I'll send you to school tomorrow. With this pile of snacks, it's not convenient to walk to school, right? ”

"Yes, okay."

Hearing this, in the face of Gao Yuan's initiative, Xiao Ai nodded, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly, expressing his agreement......

……

Click-click-click......

With such a strange noise from the car, the middle-aged man who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car with a little beard and an unshaven changed his expression suddenly-

Poof.

However, before the man could say anything, there was a clear sound, and the vehicle completely stopped on the road in this suburb—

"I didn't ...... Ran out of gas......"

Suddenly, in the face of the current situation, the young man who was driving noticed the change in the expression of the man next to him, a little scared and nervous, and explained the situation in a worried tone.

"Out of gas? No way! ”

In this regard, hearing this, the middle-aged man seemed to ask in disbelief about such a situation.

"Right...... I'm sorry! ”

Seeing this, the young man apologized even more apprehensively:

"I accidentally forgot to refuel."

Hearing this, his face was helpless, and the man sighed and said:

"Really...... It's just this time...... I finally got the news, but if I can't hurry up, the target may run away......"

"I'm sorry!"

Hearing this, the young man became even more flustered, and hurriedly seemed to remember something, and said:

"By the way, I saw a tour bus just now, and I don't know if I can get gasoline......"

"The car, you can't refuel indiscriminately!"

However, just when the man was in a hurry to get out of the car, but he couldn't even untie the safety belt for a while, a little boy's voice sounded next to the car.

Following the sound, I saw a man wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a casual suit, who looked like he was only a first-grade elementary school student, standing outside the car at this time, and said to the young man-

And he turned out to be Conan.

……

"Everyone! Don't go too far from here when you're free! ”

On the second day after buying snacks, it was the outing day of Didan Elementary School, and the students of Class B of the year, under the leadership of the homeroom teacher Mr. Kobayashi, set off from the school together and took a tour bus to the suburbs for a hike in the mountains.

Here, under the leadership of the teacher, the students first laid out picnic mats on an open lawn, and then it was time for free activities, so Mr. Kobayashi instructed all the students present to do this, hoping that when they were free to move, they would not run too far away from here.

In response, the students all shouted "yes" loudly, and then started their own activities-

"I'm busy just eating bento boxes and snacks! How can you still run far away! ”

At this time, in the face of Mr. Kobayashi's reminder, Yuan Tai, who couldn't wait to open the lunch box and eat the rice balls inside, didn't care about Mr. Kobayashi's words at all-

At this moment, in addition to the lunch box full of rice balls in front of him, there are also piles of snacks next to Yuantai.

"You've brought too much!"

Spread out with Yuantai's picnic mat, the members of the young detective group sitting around Yuantai as the center, seeing that Yuanta brought so much food, Ayumi couldn't help but say so.

In this regard, Conan faced such a situation, thinking that in the code he left yesterday, he clearly said that he would bring 300 to 500 yen to buy snacks, but in the end, Yuan Tai still bought so many snacks, Conan could only smile helplessly, and then ate the lunch box that Xiaolan prepared for himself-

However, at this moment, Conan suddenly noticed that on the road not far away, a small car stopped on the side of the road after making a strange noise......

……

"The car, you can't refuel indiscriminately!"

Somewhat curious, Conan walked to the side of the car to see what was going on with the car, and then Conan heard the young man sitting in the driver's seat, as if he wanted to borrow fuel from the tour bus he and the others were riding, so he couldn't help but remind him loudly:

"This car is an ordinary gasoline car, if you add diesel fuel to the tour bus, it will break."

Pointing to the car they were riding, Conan said.

"Really, even this little brother knows more about cars than you! You can get a driver's license like this. ”

In this regard, hearing this, the middle-aged man sitting in the passenger seat couldn't help but say to the young man next to him:

"The police special test too! If I were your instructor, I would never let you be a criminal policeman! ”

Saying that, as if he was a little angry, but more helpless, the middle-aged man complained like this-

"How do you ...... like this?"

Hearing this, seeing that the other party said this, the young man could only respond with embarrassment-

"Huh? They're actually criminal police......"

Suddenly, hearing their conversation, Conan was shocked in his heart, and was surprised that he didn't see their identity as a criminal police officer at all, so, in the face of the truth, Conan asked curiously:

"Then again, how could Mr. Detective come to such a place?"

"W-This......"

In this regard, in the face of Conan's inquiry, the young man looked embarrassed, and seemed to not know how to reply to Conan-

After all, you can't tell your child about the content of the task......

"Conan—"

However, at this time, on the empty grass on the side, everyone from the Young Detective Corps ran towards Conan, and then everyone seemed to have something in their hands, as if they were eager to shout at Conan.

"Look! There were a lot of these paper airplanes flying just now! ”

Running to Conan, Ayumi said to Conan with a paper airplane in her hand.

And after hearing this, Conan noticed that in everyone's hands, they were holding a paper airplane-

"Then we opened it and saw that there was a crossword puzzle inside!"

Unfolding the paper airplane in her hand, Ayumi said:

"Do you want to explain it?"

Faced with the situation that paper airplanes would suddenly fly in such a suburb, and there was a crossword puzzle on it, Conanton was curious, so he immediately took a piece of paper that had been unfolded and looked at the content on it-

It was a crossword puzzle with a total of nine puzzles, and there were 36 square squares to fill in.

The square space is a group of 6, each group of separate, irregular composition of the shape, and in each shape, there is a space that has been filled with a kana symbol.

Finally, there is a separate column with six square spaces side by side at the bottom, but because this column is not numbered, it is not a puzzle counterpart.

As for the hints of the nine riddles, they have already been written aside-

"Well, these questions are very simple."

Seeing this, after watching the nine riddles, Conan smiled at the corner of his mouth, feeling that a crossword puzzle of this difficulty was a piece of cake at all, but soon, Conan noticed that something was wrong-

"However, this person is really excessive, and he actually litters confetti in the mountains."

Mitsuhiko expressed his dissatisfaction with the other party's behavior of throwing paper airplanes at will.

And in this regard, the small mourning on the side reminded the focus of Conan's problem -

"The main problem is here, there's a name—

"'Maybe I'll be killed, Yamanaka Asakatsu.'" ”

Faintly, Xiao Ai read out the small words at the bottom of the paper, and this is what Conan noticed was wrong-

However, compared to Conan and Xiao Ai, at this moment, after hearing the name "Asakatsu in the Mountains", the two men behind him who had no choice but to stop here because the vehicle ran out of gas, claiming to be a criminal policeman, had changed their expressions.

"Show me the paper!"

To put it bluntly, the middle-aged man took the lead in getting out of the car, walked directly to Conan and the others, took the paper in Conan's hand and looked at it, and sure enough, he saw the four Chinese characters "Yamanaka Chaosheng" on it, and the writing was correct-

"Sure enough, the others are in this mountain!"

With a serious look, the middle-aged man couldn't help but say so

"Who is Uncle talking about?"

Hearing this, Conan couldn't help but ask.

"Yamanaka Victory ......"

In this regard, he subconsciously took out a photo from his pocket, and the young man said to the young detective group:

"He's a high-IQ murderer! We're after that guy. ”

I saw that on the photo in the young man's hand, it was a man with short hair, a Chinese face, and a man who looked about thirty years old-

"His characteristic is that he can send threatening letters in the form of crossword puzzles, which must have been done by himself! Hurry back! ”

"Stupid, don't say that to children!"

At this time, seeing that the young man took out the photo and made a detailed description, the middle-aged man couldn't help but yell at him, and then seeing that the matter had come to this, the man could only look serious and said to Conan:

"Don't talk about it to anyone else! Go back to your guardians! ”

"Murderers......

And in this regard, listening to the words of the two of them, Conan's heart was already very serious, and he had a strong interest......
