Conan: The Mechanic

Chapter 617: - looking for jade

"!?" Hattori Heiji was already frightened by Kazuya's actions—how could his childhood sweetheart usually act so boldly? Could it be that he became unscrupulous because he was in the dark?

The fact that Hattori Heiji didn't exclaim was also due to the fact that his fingers did not continue to do anything beyond Hattori Heiji's expectations, but he could clearly feel that something was stuffed into his half-folded mattress. Under the hand - tactilely, it should be a bag made of silk.

【What it is? 】 Hattori Heiji subconsciously intends to touch what the bag is, but the gripping action finally clamps the hand that just shoved the bag into Hattori Heiji's palm, but hasn't had time to withdraw.

"Ah!" The owner of the hand exclaimed, but the tone of voice made Hattori Heiji immediately realize the troublesome thing.

In any case, the owner of the hand is obviously not his childhood sweetheart, because his childhood sweetheart is obviously neither this reaction nor this tone.

"Ah, sorry, who are you?" Hattori Heiji quickly released his hand and asked the visitor in the dark.

"I'm Chiga Rin, I'm sorry for trespassing!" Chiga Rin was apologizing in a hurry, but Hattori Heiji had already turned his attention to the silk bag - through the touch of his fingertips, he could vaguely tell the difference Contents of the silk bag's surface decoration: This should be an amulet bag.

"What did you give me?" Heiji Hattori asked while holding the amulet bag in front of him, and at the same time turned on the small night light by the bed with his other hand - who was probably plugging it in when he was visiting him On the power socket, this is where it comes in handy.

With the dim scene slowly emerging from the darkness, the appearance of the amulet bag appeared in Hattori Heiji's eyes - as he touched, it was a very delicate amulet bag.

"I just..." Qian Heling said softly. "Because you were injured yesterday, I was a little worried about you. And you helped us teach the thief a lesson yesterday, so I made this for you as a gift."

"Did you do it?" Hattori Heiji stroked the lines on it. "No wonder it's so delicate."

Saying so, he turned his head, intending to express his gratitude to Chiga Ling. But at this moment, he suddenly stopped, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked a question. "Miss Chiga Suzu, are you a native of Kyoto?"

"Ah?" Qian Heling showed a look of astonishment, but then returned to normal. "Yes, I have lived in Kyoto since I was born 19 years ago."

"19 years old?" A look of astonishment flashed across Heiji Hattori's face. "That...Are you familiar with the way of Kyoto? We have a treasure map here that may be related to geography..."

"It should be familiar, right?" Qian Heling nodded and then hummed in a low voice. "まるたけえびすにおしおいけ——" But when she sang here, she saw that there was only a dull look on Heiji Hattori's face. "Mr. Hattori, what's the matter?"

"..." Hattori Heiji came back to his senses after Chiga Rin called out softly again. "Ah, it's alright...it's the one...Can I ask you to help me see what is written on this picture-" After saying this, he took the treasure map he had copied from his arms. He came out and handed it to Chiga Rin.

"Hmm—" Qian Heling held the treasure map and narrowed her eyes slightly—the light was obviously too dim. After realizing that she couldn't see clearly like this, she finally chose to lean down slightly, put the paper on the table top of the bedside table, and looked at Hattori Heiji who had turned around and was also leaning in front of the treasure map. content above.

"Do you have any ideas?" Hattori Heiji looked at Chiga Suzu's face and asked.

"If it's a street, I think I might have some ideas..." Qianga Ling tapped her finger on the treasure map. "By the way, is this thing an acorn (どんぐり)?"

She was referring to an acorn that was also drawn on the treasure map, but did not attract the attention of Hattori Heiji and the others-the reason why it did not attract attention is because they thought this acorn should be related to this treasure map. The decryption clue or the benchmark reference scene, so they gave up this clue early, intending to let the local residents of Kyoto guess what this means.

"We think yes, have you thought of anything?" Hattori Heiji nodded.

"どんぐり (acorn), どんり, 通り (street) (author: the first one is pronounced similar to dong kuli, while the latter two are close to dongli, the second of which is the first one chopped off a byte Afterwards)." Chi Heling continued. "Look, if we look at it from the point of view of tong り, these three rows of patterns are carved on the second and a half, fourth and fifth floors of this five-story pagoda - if we map these to the roads of Kyoto , which is Yuchi Street between Wutiao Street, Sitiao Street, and Ertiao Street and Santiao Street.” (Note 1)

"It makes sense, especially considering that this ink dot is between the top two layers. If you turn this treasure map north and south, this is the word 'jade' representing treasure, but this is only confirmed on the horizontal level~ www.readwn.com~Vertical..." Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes slightly and focused on the two tengu heads in the middle of the row that belonged to Yuike Street and Wujo Street respectively. "What do these two tengu mean?"

"Karasuma Street," Chiga Rin answered very quickly this time. "The streets just now were all large-scale streets, and the largest north-south street in this area is Karasuma Street, and there really is a word like Karasuma Tengu, isn't it?" (Note 2)

"But where is the most crucial point of this jade character?" Hattori Heiji frowned. (Note 3)

————————

1. The original sentence "Acorn Gollum" comes from the Japanese nursery rhyme "Acorn Gollum". This folk song has little to do with Yuchi Street, so I set the plot to use homonyms as above, because I can only Thought of this... By the way, there is an alternative explanation that the east side of Oike Street is the Kyoto Zoo, and then Acorn implies the Kyoto Zoo, but considering that Hattori and Conan are not locals, I don't think they came to the inference from this. It is not stated in the theatrical version. If there is someone who is proficient in Japanese and knows the truth, please point out Orz. Just for this thing, I flipped through Baidu and Google Maps for two hours. Director, I want to add chicken thighs! ! !

2. Crow Tengu. Moreover, Karasuma Street is indeed the largest north-south road section in that area in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto.

3. The most important thing in the original work is to deduce that the loach on Shijo Street implies Yanagawa pot, which represents Yanagawa Street, but the problem is that Yanagawa pot is a Tokyo dish. I don’t think an Osaka person would use one in Kyoto. Generally speaking, only Tokyo people. Something more familiar to deduce a kyoto puzzle (but that's exactly what a person living in Tokyo would seem to have) so I opted to cut that part out...
