Serabel paused for a moment when she said this, and her eyes fell on Senjian Yushiro.

"Of course, I didn't know that this accomplice was you Qianjian Granny at first, but there are always more ways than difficulties. Under the premise that I know that Zhu Shan has an accomplice who also wants to solve the mystery of the treasure, I just need to call on everyone If you are passive and lazy at work, the other accomplice will naturally jump out to stop you."

"Then Granny Qianjian, you really took the bait."

Thousands of generations of descendants "..."

How should I put it? The logic is the same, the principle is the same, but the approach is quite general.

If it weren't for the current situation, she would even want to curse.

You're the kind of person who told everyone to go home when you couldn't find the last one when you were playing hide and seek, right?

"Well, but I can probably guess your plan, Granny Qianjian." Serabel continued, "You plan to detonate a bomb in the car to fake your own death, and use your death to create a crisis for the remaining detectives. and a sense of urgency, and give them the mental imprint that 'you can only leave alive if you unlock the code', so that you can lurk back into the dark and observe the movements of the others through the pervasive surveillance system in the annex until someone unlocks the code. Until the puzzle.”

"It's a pity, I'm still better."

Serabel spread her hands.

Senjian Jiedai was speechless, and she really had nothing to say.

There was only a faint sigh.

"...Forty years ago, the people who were summoned to this annex were actually not the celebrities in the political and economic circles at that time, but experts and scholars from all walks of life."

She began to speak slowly.

"They were hired by Renye Karasuma, who was 99 years old at the time, and wanted to find the treasure left by Renye Karasuma's mother before her death. An archaeologist named Kyousuke Senjian was also among them at that time. He is my Father."

"Karasuma Renye promised them a high commission, but day after day, the treasure was still not found. Karasuma Renye, who felt that his deadline was approaching, began to pick up the invited scholars one by one in the annex. Killed until there was no one left alive, it is said that Karasuma Renye herself also died in the incident."

It sounds like this Renye Karasuma is like a piece of shit that his uncle doesn't care about or his grandma doesn't love. He didn't even tell her about the treasure left by her mother, and she had to spend money to hire outsiders to help find it... Serabel thought to herself.

"Then you didn't tell the police about this?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

"No."

Qianjian Jiandao shook his head sadly.

"It was already 20 years later when I discovered this matter. I accidentally discovered it while sorting out the letters left by my father. My father used a needle to poke holes in the letter paper. In this way, The truth was conveyed to me.”

"I thought this matter would go away like this, but I didn't expect that after I accidentally mentioned this matter to Dashang Zhushan during a meal, he actually showed great interest and soon found this Dusk Villa. And spent a lot of money to acquire it with a loan, and actively carried out treasure hunting activities."

"Unexpectedly, a few months later, Dashang Zhushan's loan was about to be overdue, but the treasure was still missing. In order to prevent the villa he bought with a loan from being repossessed by the bank, he told me that he had thought of the last Method."

"'Go find the detective and find the treasure,' that's what he told me."

"Actually, if that's all it is, forget it."

Qian Jianjiangyo clenched his old fists.

"But the extent of his madness is beyond my imagination. He even plans to repeat the tragedy of 40 years ago, and wants to kill you all after you find the treasure, including the maid and me. I have no choice but to take this tactic and kill him first."

"But if that's all, Senjian-sama, there's no need for you to direct and act yourself, right?" Motegi was puzzled.

"Actually, it's just like what that Serra guy said about this."

Qian Jian's expression and tone were like a dying old man summarizing his life.

"Perhaps I hope deep down in my heart that one of you can solve the mystery and see the treasure that my father was willing to sacrifice his life for... Maybe the person possessed by Renye Karasuma's ghost is actually me. "

No, I think your father, Mother-in-law Qianjian, has already solved the mystery...

Serabel turned her head and looked at the wall clock hanging in the center of the wall at the end of the restaurant and thought to herself.

However, it is better to keep these things as secrets forever. ?

Chapter 268 Watch me pinch it off

The frightening night in the Dusk Annex was spent in this way without any danger.

Early that morning, when the golden sun rose slowly from the horizon and illuminated the mountains, the roar of police helicopters echoed through the mountains and forests.

In front of the annex, a black-and-white helicopter with the words "Gunma Police Station" printed on it was parked in the open space, and Mouri Kogoro and others were lining up to get on the plane one by one.

"Eh? Mom, won't you come with us?"

"Well, I won't. I was riding in Sera-kun's car when I came here before."

Smiling and waving to her son, Yukiko pointed to the boy beside her who was holding a cane.

The preparations of the Gunma Police Station were quite complete. For a simple rescue operation in the mountains, not only did they bring all the rescue supplies, they even brought some repair tools to repair the wooden bridge that was broken by the bomb last night.

Although it cannot be completely restored to its original strength, it is still fine for temporary use to drive a car or something.

At first glance, it may sound a bit exaggerated, but when you think carefully about the fact that among the trapped people are the dignified sons of the White Horse Police Director, this level of treatment seems to be nothing.

"Is that so..."

When Conan heard that his mother didn't want to go with him, he didn't force him. He just looked back at Mouri Kogoro who was not far away and was calling him to board the plane. He responded hastily, turned around and gave Serabel a warning on the way. He signaled with his eyes, then boarded the police helicopter and left together.

Watching the helicopter go further and further away until it shrank into a black dot on the horizon, Yukiko reached out and patted the boy on the shoulder.

"Okay, then it's almost time for us to leave, right?"

"Well, let's go."

Serabel nodded, stepped down the steps in front of the entrance of the Dusk Villa, and walked towards the main entrance.

However, before he could take two steps, a hand grabbed him from behind.

Fingers clasped together, he turned his head and looked back. What caught his eye was an older girl with a quirky smile on her face.

"Hey, that's right, let's go, let's go~"

Saying that, Yukiko took the lead and took the lead in trotting forward, pulling Serabel.

Just like last night when the two came to the annex.

After leaving the annex, we walked through a mountain road and then crossed a temporarily repaired wooden bridge. The black Audi parked quietly on the mountain road. It was still exactly the same as when we got off the car last night, except that the roof of the car had been rained heavily all night. There were some fallen leaves and dew.

"Get in the car."

Serabel opened the door and got into the driver's seat, while Yukiko also got into the passenger seat.

The door was closed again, and with a slight engine sound spreading throughout the car body, the Audi, which had been silent all night, started up again.

Yukiko skillfully reached out and pulled the seat belt, but before she had time to buckle it, she glanced sideways at Sierra Bell, who was also fastening her seat belt in the driver's seat.

"By the way, did you finally solve the code last night?"

"perhaps."

Serabel told the truth.

But Yukiko was obviously not satisfied with this answer and couldn't help but pout.

"Probably? Can't you be a little more certain?"

"This... really can't be done."

Serabel put the car into reverse gear and pushed the steering wheel to reverse a little.

"It's probably because I did understand all the information in the code, and I know what to do to open the mechanism and find the treasure, but it's also probably because I only know it in my head and haven't confirmed it through actual actions."

"But I can explain the meaning of that poem now. First of all, in the first line, the two hurried travelers looked up at the sky at night. It actually refers to the hour and minute hands of the only clock in the restaurant, because they looked up at night. The celestial phenomena are all modulated vertically upward at zero point and zero minute."

"If you look closely at the next few sentences, you will find that they are actually talking about playing cards."

"First, the king holds the baby, Yaoyao. The diamond in poker refers to the treasure, and the king is the king, which is the king of diamonds."

"Then the princess wept and begged for mercy from the Holy Grail. The princess was Q, and the Holy Grail was a red heart, which is the Q of hearts."

"In the end, the soldier was so angry that he swung his sword and killed himself. The color of the earth changed. The soldier was Jack. The only poker card that means death is the spade, which is the jack of spades."

"Among these three cards, the characters on the K of Diamonds and Q of Hearts face to the left, and only the character on the J of Spades faces to the right. That is to say, the minute hand should be moved [-] spaces counterclockwise and then [-] spaces counterclockwise. Two squares, and finally eleven squares clockwise, you can unlock the trap of the annex."

"Oh--"

Yukiko had an expression on her face after hearing this.

"Then what will happen after the mechanism is unlocked?"

"I don't know about this. After all, I didn't actually open the mechanism." Serabel was very honest. "Besides, I'm not interested in the secrets of the annex."

"Really or not, I thought Bell, you were very interested in the secrets of the annex and that's why you came here?" Yukiko said in surprise.

"No, I came because there is no other way..."

Serabel freed up a hand and touched her forehead.

After all, not only did they send an invitation letter, but they also sent him the 200 million as a reward, making it clear that he was not given a chance to refuse, not to mention the cryptic signature of the phantom of the god-forsaken boy. .

Even if you don't want to pick up this thing, you still don't have an address if you want to send it back!

I have no choice but to come over and make up the numbers for a while.

To put it bluntly, you asked me to come, so I came. It may not be helpful in solving the puzzle, and I may not be able to find the treasure in the end, but in any case, I am here.

As long as you come, that's fine.

During the entire trip to the annex at dusk, the only thing that could arouse Serabel's interest was the fact that the original owner of the annex was the former Japanese tycoon Renya Karasuma.

But this has nothing to do with the treasures in the annex.

After all, even Karasuma Renye himself didn't know what the treasure was until his death, so it was a bit reluctant to say that he could be related to the black organization.

As for other places in the museum, they have changed owners several times over the years, and the traces of the life left by Karasuma Renya 40 years ago have long since been almost erased.

"It's a waste of time..."

Serabel smacked her lips helplessly.

"It's not all in vain." Yukiko heard from the side and said with her fingers, "Look, first of all, I earned 200 million, secondly, I had a pretty good and delicious dinner, and then I was still in a luxurious villa. Stayed for one night... Although the environment is a little bit crowded, the most important thing is that you have me, a super beautiful girl, by your side, right?"

"I didn't expect that at my sister's age, she still has the confidence to call herself a beautiful girl..."

"Um?!"

Liu Mei, a has-been female star, started counting down in an instant.

She quickly took off her shoes and socks, raised her legs, put her bare feet over the barrier between the driver and passenger, and placed them on Serabel's legs, and skillfully hooked the zipper and opened it.

"Watch me clip it off..."?

Chapter 269 The intrigues of women

Departing from the Dusk Annex in the morning, it was already noon by the time Serabel returned to Tokyo.

The black Audi was parked at the entrance of the villa in 21-chome [-], Yoneka Town.

In the passenger seat, Yukiko was flexing her toes to put her socks back on. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone in the driver seat, still wearing a seat belt and holding the steering wheel, as if ready to drive away at any moment. She curled her lips.

"Why are you going back so soon? Don't you plan to have lunch before leaving?"

"It's too late... right?"

Serabel said it rather tactfully.

It's not that he doubts Yukiko's cooking skills, it's just that with the latter's lazy personality, when he usually eats alone, he must do whatever he can to fool him, as long as he can eat enough, and by takeout standards, it doesn't matter if he eats it to death, and there is absolutely no food in the refrigerator. There can be no semi-finished products.

For example, it's already dinner time, and we have to prepare things at short notice. No matter how long we calculate, we are in a hurry. In the end, we just end up ordering takeout.

and--

Serabel glanced at the mobile phone placed on the mobile phone holder at the air-conditioning outlet next to the dashboard.

Before setting off yesterday, he told Akai Marie that he would come back after one night, but it was already noon the next day, so if nothing else happened, it would be about the same...

Thumb~thump thump~thump~

Just like telepathy, Serabel just thought about it. The next second, the phone screen automatically lit up, and a caller ID popped up on it.

[Caller: Mary]

"Excuse me~"

Yukiko raised her eyebrows in understanding and drawled her tone meaningfully.

But she didn't realize it and left. Instead, she pressed the connect button and turned on the hands-free mode.

The voice of a certain blond British girl came from the mobile phone.
