At this time, I only listened to Lin Xinyi's explanation:

"You need to control the variables in an experiment, you should know that, right?"

"What we are doing now is an 'indoor' experiment, just an indoor experiment, how can we study the natural succession of necrophagous insect communities in the entire Tokyo area?"

"The indoor and outdoor environmental conditions are completely different. If we only study indoors, what should we do if we encounter cases that happen outdoors?"

"Hmm..." Okiya Subaru struggled to maintain a calm expression: "Then what do you mean..."

"After the indoor experiment is over, do you have to do another outdoor experiment?"

"No, no, no." Lin Xinyi didn't notice Okiya Subaru's increasingly ugly face at all.

He just explained very patiently:

"There are more variables than just 'indoor' and 'outdoor'."

"The indoor and outdoor environments are different, the high-rise and low-rise environments are different, the downtown and suburban environments are different, and the suburban and mountainous environments such as Mount Takao and Mount Untori are different."

"Similarly, 'adult pig carcasses' are different from 'juvenile pig carcasses', and 'fat pig carcasses' are different from 'lean pig carcasses'."

"And for the next period of time, the season in most parts of Tokyo will be spring."

"After spring is over, as long as the weather can remain unchanged for a certain period of time in a certain area...summer, autumn, and winter, experiments under these different seasonal variables must also be added."

"So, if you take all these variables into account..."

Lin Xinyi stroked his chin lightly, and guessed and gave an answer:

"Conservatively, this experiment will take a year, right?"

Okiya Subaru: "..."

He just wants to ask now:

Is it still too late to carry the bucket and run?

Chapter 556 Detective's Waterloo

Two days later, in the evening, Tottori Prefecture.

The car of Lin Xinyi, Conan, Mao Lilan, and Bermoder, a group of four, was driving on the winding mountain road between the deep and dense virgin forests in Tottori Prefecture.

The roar of the engine pierced the eternal silence in the mountains and forests, but was quickly submerged by the endless silence.

The surrounding area was terribly quiet, it was drizzling, and the mountain road seemed endless.

As the sky gradually darkened and the mountains were covered with shadows, the car was more like a small boat floating on the black sea with the wind, small, lonely, and seemed about to capsize at any time.

After a long and lonely "voyage", finally, the destination of their trip, Twilight Pavilion, an old Taisho-style old building, appeared in front of everyone from afar.

It stands alone at the end of this dilapidated winding mountain road, surrounded by mountains on three sides.

The building as wide as a city pool still tells the prosperity of that year, but the moss, vines, and weathered and cracked bricks and stones on the mottled outer wall make it look more like an evil spirit castle in a horror story.

"hiss…"

Looking at this weird mansion in front of him that could be directly used to shoot Resident Evil, Mao Lilan couldn't help but shudder.

She subconsciously hugged Caesar in her arms as a pillow, and looked at Belmode in the driver's seat:

"Miss Chrissy..."

"Is this really nothing to do with the organization?"

Although she had already got the answer, Mao Lilan couldn't help but ask again.

Because of the temperament of this mansion, it looks too much like the "Evil Organization Headquarters" in the movie.

"Don't worry, Angel."

"If this place has something to do with the organization, how dare I bring you here?"

Belmode showed a considerate smile that only Miss Angel can enjoy:

"Although this villa is the ancestral home of the Karasuma family, it has nothing to do with the Karasuma family as early as 40 years ago."

"That old man is very timid."

"This kind of real estate that is clearly related to the Karasuma family, he dare not keep it for himself."

"Yeah." Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief.

But she still has concerns:

"Since it's not a bureau set up by the organization, then who will invite us?"

"He pretended to be Phantom Thief Kidd and invited us, as well as famous detectives like Detective Baima, what is his purpose?"

"Is this..."

Belmode lightly tapped the steering wheel with his fingers.

She thought for a while and replied:

"As for the identity of the person who set up the situation, we are not yet ready to draw conclusions."

"But this guy deliberately set up a trick to invite a detective to the purpose of the Twilight Mansion. I might be able to guess something—"

"Because there is still a secret hidden in this Twilight Pavilion that is enough to make people crazy."

Belmode himself is a member of the Karasuma family.

So she knows exactly what secrets are hidden in this Twilight Pavilion:

This twilight pavilion was built by the previous head of the Karasuma family, the founder of the Karasuma Empire, and Karasuma Renye's mother.

And this old Mrs. Karasuma is not the same as the Ziben family who talk about financial innovation nowadays.

As an old antique transformed from a feudal lord, Mrs. Karasuma's personal investment philosophy of the first generation of Ziben family in Japan that flourished during the Meiji Restoration is still relatively traditional and conservative.

Compared with turning money into numbers in the bank or stock market bills, she prefers gold, a tangible precious metal wealth management product.

So during the decades when she was in charge of the Karasuma Group, she secretly replaced part of the assets of the Karasuma Group with gold, and when she presided over the construction of the Twilight Pavilion, she secretly hid the gold in the Karasuma Group. In the ancestral home of the Maru family.

Renye Karasuma did not know that her mother left such a surprise for herself until after her mother passed away and she officially took over the Karasuma Group.

But the bad thing is that before his mother died, he didn't tell him where the gold was hidden inside the ancestral house, but just left a riddle pointing to the treasure.

Only by solving this puzzle can the golden treasure left by Mrs. Karasuma be found.

Renye Karasuma had nothing to say when faced with the operation of her mother acting as a riddle in front of her own son.

He tried his best to solve the puzzle left by his mother, and searched the Twilight Mansion inside and out, but couldn't find the so-called golden treasure.

Coupled with the fact that the Karasuma Group developed rapidly in his hands later, even without that golden treasure, he could still become one of the most wealthy people in the world at that time.

So Karasuma Renye simply stopped looking.

Just pretend that the gold doesn't exist.

Anyway, he had never touched money at all, and money meant nothing to him.

It wasn't until later that Karasuma Renye, under the pressure brought by the intelligence agencies of various countries, prepared to feign death to escape and transfer the property underground, that he thought of the treasure left by his mother.

"At that time, in order to get out safely, the old guy almost gave up all the apparent properties of the Karasuma Group that had been targeted by the intelligence agencies of various countries."

"Although the Karasuma family is as rich as a country, such a toss will also greatly hurt the muscles and bones."

"So he thought of the treasure left by his mother:"

"This treasure was not in the accounts of the Karasuma Group at the time. It could avoid the supervision of governments of various countries and provide sufficient and safe funds for the organization's underground activities and development."

"But the problem is..."

Belmode explained in detail the secrets of the organization back then:

"At the time he was running out of time."

"Renya Karasuma wanted to feign death to get away, and to convince the countries that 'the evil Karasuma Group had already been destroyed with his death', so he definitely couldn't keep the ancestral home in his own hands after 'death'."

"So Karasuma Renye must solve the puzzles left by her mother and find the gold hidden in the ancestral house before she can escape by feigning death and before the Twilight Mansion is confiscated by the bank."

Renye Karasuma was anxious to take the money and run away, but the "account password" has not been cracked yet.

So he was in a hurry.

As soon as he was in a hurry, it led to the tragedy that happened in the Twilight Pavilion 40 years ago:

"The old man used the high salary as a bait to recruit a group of top detectives and scholars in Japan at that time."

"Then he locked all these detective scholars in this Twilight Mansion, forcing them to solve the riddle left by his mother within two months and help him find the treasure."

"Those who solve the riddle can live to get a huge bonus, and the rest can only become a corpse in the wilderness."

Forced to work overtime, draw high salaries, and a strict staff elimination mechanism, Karasuma Renye can be said to have given out all the housekeeping skills of her own family.

But solving puzzles is not like moving bricks or digging soil. This kind of mental work cannot be successfully forced by the supervisor with two whips.

"The result..."

As a result, those detective scholars were just like Cavin's web writers, who held back nothing for two months.

And Renye Karasuma's "limit" has also arrived.

If he doesn't leave this treasure behind and feign death to escape, he will be approached by the intelligence agencies of various countries and invited back to drink tea.

Therefore, seeing that these detective scholars have been unable to solve the puzzle for a long time, I have no hope of obtaining this treasure...

"Renya Karasuma killed them all when she feigned death to escape."

"In this way, no one will live to reveal the secret of 'gold hidden in the Twilight Pavilion'."

"The secret of the treasure remains a secret forever."

"That's the way of the old man:"

There was a hint of disgust at the corner of Belmode's mouth:

"Even if he can't get the treasure, he doesn't want his treasure to be obtained by others."

"It turned out to be like this." After listening to the story in detail, Mao Lilan couldn't help sighing.

And she quickly noticed the problem:
