The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Chapter 697 Maybe you know about the Minoan Dynasty?

Greece, Crete.

This island is located in the middle of the eastern Mediterranean. It is the largest island in Greece and the largest island in the Aegean Sea.

Ritsu Sasashima didn't expect to take a car and a boat at the same time. By the time he arrived in Crete, it was already [-] o'clock in the afternoon. He had no desire to see Rum now. He just wanted to find a hotel and take care of himself. Own.

This long journey is really tiring. How could this guy Rum live in such a "no shit" place?

Akai Shuichi was not much better either, he even had green stubble on his chin.He covered his waist, which was uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, frowned and looked at Sasashima Ritsu and asked, "Do you think we are being trafficked? It's really difficult to escape from a place like this."

"I don't know if it will be sold or not. I just know that if I didn't want to see Rum, I would really like to go to the Samaria Valley, known as the 'second longest canyon in Europe', but I really can't go to Dicteon Caves. It’s good to take a walk around, don’t they say that is the birthplace of Zeus?”

Sasashima Ritsu's eyes fell on the beautiful Aegean Sea. Coming to such a beautiful place for work, it made people feel upset for no reason.Thinking that Rum was actually conducting human experiments on such an island, he felt like his fist was hardening.

Akai Shuichi also looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him. The weather in Greece in October can be said to be very comfortable, and the sun is sufficient without the feeling of autumn. Wearing a thin two-piece suit is enough to resist the occasional cool wind.

He held a cigarette in his hand and was smoking happily. The cell phone he had just turned on was completely humiliating and made a pleasant sound.He directly turned on the hands-free mode, put the phone on the stone statue beside him, and said indifferently: "We have already arrived in Crete, and we haven't seen anyone coming to pick us up."

"I didn't expect the ace of the FBI, Shuichi Akai, to have an impatient side. It seems that you can't wait to meet me."

Whether it's Rum's voice, words or actions, it's enough to make people want to punch him to pieces.It is rare for a person to live such a miserable life. Akai Shuichi said patiently: "Stop talking nonsense, where is the meeting place?"

"Don't worry, maybe you know about the Minoan Dynasty?"

Minoan dynasty?
Akai Shuichi was not interested in history, and besides, it was related to Greece. He turned his head and looked at Ritsu Sasashima to ask for answers. However, the latter also shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know, but just because he didn't know didn't mean he couldn't find it. .

Ritsu Sasashima opened the Yahoo APP software with a calm face, entered the five words "Minoan Dynasty" as quickly as possible, and quickly searched for a large amount of relevant information.

The Minoan dynasty used to be a story in Greek mythology, but archaeologists have confirmed that this dynasty once existed, and their demise is directly related to the eruption of the Santorini volcano.

Ritsu Sasashima didn't understand why Rum suddenly mentioned the Minoan Dynasty. He vaguely felt that Rum was alluding to something.He leaned down close to the phone and said, "So what if you know, so what if you don't know?"

"Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't know. I will wait for you in the Minos Dynasty."

After Rum said this, he hung up the phone directly. This made Shuichi Akai, who still didn't know what the Minoan Dynasty was, have little question marks all over his head. He put out his cigarette and looked at Sasashima Ritsu and asked: " Have you found any relevant information?”

"Yes, it was a kingdom that once existed, but it was destroyed due to a volcanic eruption." Ritsu Sasashima held his chin in thought, and he analyzed carefully: "Rum said he was waiting for us in the Minoan Dynasty, does he mean it? Is it the Minoan dynasty site that archaeologists excavated? I just searched it on Yahoo, and it’s actually the city of Knossos in northern Crete.”

"I'm afraid so, shall we go there now?"

"Go ahead, but I always feel that it's not that simple. It would be too high-profile for him to choose a place like this as his base."

Akai Shuichi naturally agrees with this point of view, but at this stage they can only try their luck at this old site.He took out a pocket pistol from his bass bag, handed it to Sasashima Ritsu and said: "Keep an extra one with you, there might be a fierce battle later."

"But facing something like that, using a gun is useless."

"...Well, that's true."

Akai Shuichi didn't want to recall the scene he saw at Kyoto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Every time he thought about it, he felt like the unlucky guy in a science fiction movie who triggered the main mission.He carefully checked the contents of the guitar bag, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he followed Sasashima Ritsu's pace and headed towards the former site of the Minoan Dynasty.

The development of modern technology makes the navigation technology very good, even on such rough roads, it can be accurately positioned.

After two people's efforts on foot, they finally arrived at the old site of the Minoan Dynasty, but there was no prompt, no rum, or even an archaeologist investigating here.

Shuichi Akai looked at the murals that still maintained bright colors. He couldn't help but admire the craftsmanship of the Minoan Dynasty. After so long, it had also experienced volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. It was really amazing that it could be preserved to this extent. amazing.

Ritsu Sasashima kept looking for a possible passage to the hint, but no matter how hard he searched, there was no trace. He frowned in confusion, and even began to wonder if he was looking in the wrong place?Isn't this what Rum is referring to?
Just when he was about to give up, something weird made him realize that this place has been carefully planned.

Ritsu Sasashima carefully inspected this exquisitely crafted stone bed. Although the craftsmen deliberately made it into an old site object that was washed away by the sea and had traces of time, the handicraft is still a handicraft after all. After identification, it is not difficult to see that this was intentional.

"Brother Xiu, there is something discovered here!"

After Shuichi Akai rushed over, he found Ritsu Sasashima observing some stone beds piled in the semi-basement space. He asked aloud: "Did you find a secret passage to the underground?"

"No, but these things were left here on purpose. I think...maybe they are clues that Rum left for us."

"?"

Akai Shuichi looked at the stone beds in front of him and didn't see anything special about them, but he noticed that there seemed to be something underneath one of the beds.He quickly stepped forward and pulled it out with force, and found that it was a clay tablet with words engraved on it.

But the above text is not in English, but in Greek, which is a bit beyond his language ability.

"Xiaolu, do you understand Greek?"

“I can’t understand it, but just find someone who is proficient in Greek.”

Ritsu Sasashima knew that there were geniuses in various fields in the organization. After he sent the photo of the slate to Gin, all he had to do was wait for the other party to send the translated version to him.

When he received the reply 10 minutes later, he was surprised when he saw the content.
