Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 336 Justice may be late, but it will never be absent! (Monthly ticket requested!)
At the same time, while Inspector Megure and other officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department were working hard to support and capture the remaining fugitive accomplices of Kabana, on the other side, Sato Miwako and Byakuya followed the black-haired man in sunglasses and others for a while, and finally, with the help of a telescope borrowed from a nearby store, they successfully sighted the specific contents of the treasure map in the hands of Conan and his group, and used the paper and pen they brought with them to quickly draw out the contents of the treasure map.

Unfortunately, she originally thought that after getting the treasure map, she would be able to quickly find the location of the lost 15,000 maple leaf gold coins based on the information on the treasure map. Then, she and her colleagues could wait for the black-haired man in sunglasses and others at the treasure location, letting them understand what it means that the devil is one foot high and the road is ten feet higher, and that justice may be late but will never be absent.

But she never expected that although she got the treasure map, she couldn't understand the meaning of the various graphics on it, let alone find the real treasure location by deciphering all the codes on the treasure map, and then bring justice to the gang of robbers led by the black-haired man in sunglasses.

After much thought without any result, she had no choice but to ask Bai Ye who was beside her for help.

"Bai Ye, do you know what these patterns mean?"

In Miwako Sato's opinion, it is undoubtedly more reliable to seek help from private detective Bai Ye than to ask her other colleagues for help.

After all, family members know their own business. Although the police officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department work very hard, unfortunately, most of them do not have high enough IQs, otherwise the high school detective and other detectives would not have been so prominent when solving the case!
Bai Ye casually took the note handed over by Sato Miwako and looked at it carefully, "Let me see..."

Combining his memory, Bai Ye quickly deciphered the codes on the treasure map one by one.

As for why he didn't need a treasure map before, he could find the location of the treasure and send people to take it away directly?

The reason is very simple, because, as a time traveler whose memory has been strengthened by the system, he clearly remembers that the maple leaf gold coin is on the beam on the top floor of a hotel called Onizakura, which is not far from the Tokyo Tower, in a hotel with not very good business and with not only a river but also a bridge nearby.

It is also because of this that even if he does not need the treasure map in the hands of Conan and others, it does not affect his decision to send people to the hiding place of the 15,000 maple leaf gold coins to take them out.

In fact, in addition to the 15,000 maple leaf gold coins, he also remembered the locations of many treasures in "Detective Conan".

For example, the Ghost Ship Treasure, the Angel's Mansion, the Twilight Mansion, etc...

Of course, the Dusk Villa is not easy to build, so he doesn't dare to do it for the time being.

——Forty years ago, Karasuma Renya knew that there was a treasure hidden in the "Twilight House" inherited from his mother. In order to decipher the code of the treasure's hiding place and find the treasure before he died, he invited many scholars including Chiken Kyoujo's father to the Twilight House to help him find the treasure. However, half a year has passed and those scholars still have nothing.

Seeing that no one had found the treasure, and even the code had not been cracked, there was no progress at all. Knowing that he had not much time left, Karasuma Renya summoned celebrities from all walks of life in the dusk annex to hold a secret meeting, ostensibly to express his condolences for himself who had "passed away" at the age of ninety-nine.

However, this secret meeting was actually an auction of the art collection of Karasuma Renya during his "lifetime" and an attempt to silence those scholars.

There were more than 300 items to be auctioned, so the auction was expected to last three days.

But on a stormy night the next day, two men, drenched in the rain, suddenly visited the villa. They said they had lost their way in the storm and wanted to take shelter in the villa until the rain stopped.

The organizer of the auction did not agree at first, but then the two men gave him a bag of white stuff, which contained cigarettes (actually marijuana), hoping it would be a thank you gift for taking them in.

After smoking one cigarette, the host suddenly became energetic and invited them into the house. Then, other guests attending the auction in the house also smoked the cigarettes brought by the two men under the persuasion of the two men.

After a while, although the guests were still in a state of excitement and noise, the situation had changed.

A man screamed as if he had seen a demon and ran out of the house holding the artwork he was bidding on; a woman cried as if she was begging for forgiveness; and another man excitedly picked up the pen in his hand and stabbed his wrist repeatedly.

Soon, the guests in the house began to fight over the artworks and picked up the famous swords in the venue to kill each other. The whole venue suddenly turned into a living hell!
After one night, only eight dead people and more than a dozen sleeping guests were left at the venue, and the two mysterious men and the artworks at the venue disappeared without a trace...

However, the surviving political and economic celebrities at the time were afraid that their own scandals would be exposed, so they suppressed the matter in order to preserve their status in society.

Therefore, this horrific tragedy was not reported in the media. The police failed to identify the two men after multiple investigations. They only found out that the substance smoked by the guests was marijuana, so they had to drop the case.

This case became a little-known unsolved case.

This incident is also recorded in a rare nursery rhyme:
The two travelers were in a hurry. That night, they looked up at the world and saw the devil descending on the castle. The king took the treasure and fled. The princess cried and fell into the Holy Grail to pray for mercy. The soldier died and committed suicide with a sword. The earth changed color.

Later, Conan, who visited the Dusk Villa with other detectives, solved the code of the villa and found the hidden treasure. The true identity of the treasure was the Dusk Villa made entirely of gold and covered with ordinary bricks and tiles!
It's a pity that even though we know that Twilight Villa is worth a lot of money, at least hundreds of billions of dollars, and even though Twilight Villa has now been bought by Okami Zhushan, nicknamed the Gourmet Detective, whose famous saying is "Food and murders are the only treasures that can activate my brain cells."

But, after all, it is the old house of their Black Organization's boss, Karasuma Renya. Who knows if the other party is still paying attention to it now. Therefore, before making sure that the Black Organization's boss has completely given up on paying attention to his old house and caring about the treasure, Bai Ye really dare not show his interest in the Dusk Villa.

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Ye pointed to the first pattern on the treasure map, which looked like a tower, and said to Sato Miwako, "If I remember correctly, the leader of the Italian robber group, Dino Cabana, was captured near the Tokyo Tower, so the Tokyo Tower must be very special to him!"

At this point, Bai Ye paused, then said meaningfully, "And the first figure on this treasure map, do you think it looks like the Tokyo Tower?"

"Eh... they really look alike!"

Sato Miwako was slightly stunned, and then her eyes lit up, "Could it be?"

Since it is a treasure map, it must have its own rules. The first shape represents the Tokyo Tower, so the other shapes are likely to represent similar buildings?

Bai Ye nodded, confirming her guess, "Well, if nothing unexpected happens, this tower shape refers to the Tokyo Tower."

"As the first figure on the treasure map, it should mean that we should start our search from here. Similarly, the following figures should also refer to places similar to the Tokyo Tower."

Miwako Sato frowned slightly. "But there are many similar patterns, such as store brand patterns and road sign patterns. How can we find them?"

It is said that we can follow the map, but the key problem is that there are too many places around that meet the graphic conditions on the treasure map.

For example, store brand logos, road sign logos, etc. For a moment, she really didn't know where to start looking.

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly: "It is true that there are many similar patterns, but in order to prevent me from remembering the wrong place, Dino Cabana will definitely add additional restrictions. As for what this restriction is, why don't you guess it, Miwako!"

After hearing Bai Ye's words, Sato Miwako looked through the treasure map and began to think seriously.

Soon, she noticed the key shape on the treasure map, which was the crescent shape next to the tower.

Pointing to the second pattern on the treasure map, Sato Miwako proposed her own idea: "I remember there is a Moon Viewing Road nearby. Could it be that the crescent moon pattern on the treasure map refers to the Moon Viewing Road?"

Shaking his finger, Bai Ye denied Sato Miwako's guess, "No, no, Miwako, you are wrong! Although there is indeed a moon-viewing road nearby, the crescent moon on the treasure map is definitely not referring to it!"

As he spoke, Bai Ye pointed to the letters in the second-to-last row and gave Sato Miwako a new suggestion, "ORO, this word means gold in Italian. As an Italian, there is no reason for Dino Cabana to use other countries' languages ​​when drawing a treasure map. It also makes no sense to use Italian at the bottom and hint at Japanese at the top."

At this point, Bai Ye smiled and said encouragingly, "Meihezi, think about it again, what do most people think of when they see the moon pattern?"

Hearing this, Sato Miwako subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Because they were following the black-haired man in sunglasses and others, they spent a lot of time on the road. It was already late and night would fall soon.

Wait, sky? Nightfall?

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration seemed to come to her mind, and Sato Miwako's eyes lit up: "Could it be that this crescent moon shape refers to the night?"

Once the sky gets dark, the moon will soon appear.

In other words, when people see the shape of a crescent moon, they usually think of night.

Bai Ye nodded with relief.

His daughter Miwako finally thought of this.

It was worth it that he had been trying hard to give her advice.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye pursed his lips and continued, "Besides the moon, are there any other patterns that can only be seen at night?"

It seemed that after Bai Ye's repeated reminders, her mind was completely opened up. This time, before Bai Ye continued to guide her, Sato Miwako immediately thought of the answer, "It's the neon lights!"

Bai Ye raised the corner of his mouth slightly and praised: "It seems that, Miwako, you have the talent to become a famous detective!"

Sato Miwako gave him a coquettish look, feeling a little embarrassed.

Family members know their own business. Compared with other colleagues, she is indeed very smart.

But to say that she can become a famous detective is really overestimating her.

Just like cracking the code this time, if Bai Ye hadn't been constantly reminding her, she would not have been able to figure out the answer so quickly. She probably wouldn't even have figured out what the first figure was referring to.

Thinking of this, Sato Miwako took a deep breath.

Now that the code on the treasure map has been deciphered, the next thing they have to do is to verify it.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the streets. As the sky gradually darkened, the neon lights were lighting up one after another. Sato Miwako once again cast her beautiful eyes into the white night.

"Found it, there!"

Noticing her gaze, how could Bai Ye, who was so smart, not understand what she meant? So, he decisively pointed his finger towards a camera shop not far away.

The shape of the neon sign above the camera store matches the second pattern on the treasure map, which is a hat-like pattern.

Arriving under the neon lights of the camera store, without waiting for Bai Ye to make any new moves, Sato Miwako immediately looked around. Then, she soon discovered that the shape of the stadium lights not far away matched the third pattern on the treasure map, which was the inverted triangle. "The inverted triangle is over there!"

Arriving at the location corresponding to the third pattern on the treasure map, near the stadium, Sato Miwako looked around. To her disappointment, this time, she didn't see the third pattern at all.

For a moment, she almost thought she was in the wrong place.

But that shouldn’t be the case. If she really found the wrong one, Bai Ye should have reminded her!

Now Bai Ye didn't say anything, but followed her to the gymnasium, which meant that she found the right place.

So, the question is, since she found the right place, why couldn't she find the location corresponding to the next shape according to the pattern she discovered previously?
Noticing her bewildered look, Bai Ye looked up at the weather forecast pattern on the opposite building and said meaningfully, "I think the location corresponding to the next pattern may be there!"
