After a while, the fox rattled away along the corridor, not knowing what to do.

Although the man in black clearly defined them as assistants, Conan still couldn't figure out how to communicate with animals after watching the whole process of "talking and whispering".

It is more reliable to solve the puzzle by himself... He began to look around the room, looking for clues.

……

Shiraishi wanted the fox to see if Dr. A Li had been here recently, and let him dig out suspicious things by the way.

In order for Shiraishi to adapt to the cat form as soon as possible, the system has adjusted the senses of the cat form. Except that the hearing is more sensitive than that of humans, the vision, smell and taste have not been greatly enhanced. In this regard, the "hunting dog" is more practical.

After a while, the fox had a harvest.

It brought Baishi to the bedroom, slid under the dusty bed, and showed Baishi a wooden box against the wall graciously.

The box is not too big, but it is as high as three cats stacked up.

Shiraishi estimated the weight of the box, then glanced at the little spider hanging upside down from the bottom of the bed, and silently turned his head back to the living room, stopping in front of Conan who was wandering around.

Conan's reaction was not slow, and he quickly understood Shiraishi's intentions.

He followed the black cat to the bedroom, looked down at the "treasure box" under the bed, and then at the fox squatting beside him wagging its tail, thinking it was too fast.

The so-called treasure hunting and solving puzzles, shouldn't he just lead the fox around and move the treasure out...

But at this point, how could it be possible not to open the box and take a look.

Conan crawled under the bed, grabbed the box and dragged it out. He thought it would be very laborious, but he didn't expect that the wooden box was not heavy, so he dragged it out with a little effort.

The box was not locked, and it looked new, especially the top was not covered with too much dust, which was out of place with the whole villa.

Conan opened the lid of the box suspiciously, looked at the contents inside, and was startled.

——This is a large box of toy wreckage. We can barely tell that they were brand-new teddy bears, remote control racing cars, model airplanes, etc., but now they are all broken and hacked, and the inside of the box is full of knife marks.

Seeing Conan's expression, Shiraishi understood it. He straightened up and grabbed the edge of the box, looked inside, and confirmed his previous guess.

From the location of the wooden box to the content of the filling, Dr. A Li hid it here deliberately for the purpose of holding a "treasure hunt".

The gangsters who were watching this knew that there was something hidden in the villa, but they didn't know where it was hidden.

After coming here, he tried his best to solve the puzzle that Dr. A Li had thought of. He thought he could get what he was looking for, but he tracked it excitedly to the end, but only saw a box of children's toys.

In anger, he scratched all these things.

That is to say, there have been dangerous people around this villa recently.

The system has set a two-day countdown for this task, maybe it is to let Baishi solve the safety hazard before the brats come here.

Before Conan entered the door, he saw the word "A Li" on the door plate. In addition, there was an oil painting hanging in the living room, and the person in the painting was somewhat similar to the doctor. He had already guessed that this place was related to Dr. A Li.

At this moment, looking at the toys in the box, and thinking about the toys that Dr. Ali bought back a while ago to surprise the Boy Detectives, Conan guessed part of the truth.

But obviously, he only guessed the whole process correctly, but got the executor wrong.

Thinking of a person who directly took out a kitchen knife when he disagreed with a word, Conan sighed with his head on his head: "The black cat is too impulsive, he got the wrong clue, how can he play with his anger... huh!"

The cat stepped on his face and jumped onto the windowsill.

As soon as Baishi stood on the window sill, he saw a figure outside the window suddenly leaning back and retreating to the side.

It was a man with a tall nose bridge and a slender face. He was just about to lean against the window and peep inside, but was startled by a black shadow that suddenly jumped up.

After finding out that it was just a cat, the gangster breathed a sigh of relief, didn't take it seriously, and slowly hid in the bushes next to it, looking in a certain direction.

Baishi followed his line of sight and found that he could vaguely see the car he was driving through the trees and bushes.

It seems that this villain is a bit concerned about the whereabouts of the people in the car, and he probably won't do anything random until he finds out where the people are going.

Shiraishi opened the light screen and looked at the time of the human-shaped mask. There were still about ten minutes, which was quite enough, so it fell back to the ground with confidence.

Conan was half squatting next to the box just now, and was caught off guard by the cat stepping on it a few times, leaned back, and sat on the ground.

He covered his face and propped his other hand on the ground. He suddenly felt something pressed by his palm. When he picked it up, it was a 1 yen coin.

After careful observation, Conan judged from the denomination, engraving and size of the coin that it was a counterfeit coin.

It's hard to imagine that someone would put so much effort into making counterfeit 1 yen coins. It's more like killing time than making a profit, but who would kill time with engraved counterfeit coins...

Holding the coin, Conan completely believed Shiraishi's previous words, that this house does have a secret.

Back in the living room, with the help of the cat and the fox, Conan found that many utensils, such as plates, vases, candlesticks, etc., were engraved with a long series of small black and white patterns.

The orientations of the graphics are different, and occasionally there are missing edges and corners. At first glance, it looks like a string of rough printed lace.

Conan took a look, and immediately remembered the "dancing little man" that the black cat had said before getting out of the car.

——This is a plot that appeared in the Sherlock Holmes series of stories. Some patterns that look like graffiti are actually codes with special meanings!

After searching the living room, they found a total of seven items with this "code".

Conan took out the notepad and ballpoint pen he carried with him from his pocket, and drew all the graphics that appeared on it.

Reasoning itself makes Conan feel very happy, and telling the reasoning to the ignorant masses and watching them suddenly realize the process is even more joyful.

It's a pity that there is no suitable audience here, and Conan never imagined that one day he would be reduced to telling a reasoning process to a cat and a fox:

"There are a total of seven basic graphics, and on top of that, many variations have been added, making a total of fifty different graphics... So this should not refer to the English alphabet, but the fifty syllables in Japanese picture."
