Conan's Corpse Picker

In the living room, when the two brothers went to make tea and refreshments, he whispered to Jiang Xia, "The shape of the cast on that man's hand is wrong."

Jiang Xia glanced at him silently.Indeed, the man in the middle is actually holding a miniature pistol in his right hand, which is covered with bandages and plaster.

In Jiang Xia's impression, these two people are not the owners of the house, but members of a bandit group called "Goblin".

Chapter 265 You are very promising

The Goblin Bandit Group used to be a group of grand thieves who robbed the rich and helped themselves, and helped the poor by the way.

Ten years ago, the goblins were disbanded, and the leader Demon took part of the jewels and gold basin to wash his hands and built a villa in the suburbs.

It is the building where Jiang Xia and the others are now.

The leader is usually a clockmaker. He has a lot of clocks in the villa, some made by himself, and some bought.

He also made the part of the jewelry he took away into one of the watches, and hid the watch somewhere in the villa.

After the death of the leader, the villa was inherited by his granddaughter, Nakamura Cao.

……

Sitting in this villa with a lot of stories, Jiang Xia felt that there was someone above her.

He glanced at the ceiling and knew that his unlucky granddaughter was locked up in the attic now.

——The two goatee and middle-parted men who invited them into the house just now came for the leader's jewelry.In the morning, they broke into the villa and asked about the whereabouts of Nakamura's jewelry, but Nakamura knew nothing about it.The two had no choice but to lock the leader's granddaughter in the attic first, and go to find it in person, planning to wait until they got the things, and then go to silence her.

After searching for a long time, the two robbers didn't find any jewels, but they found a famous detective who came to the door on his own initiative.

The two immediately came up with Jiang Xia's idea, planning to pretend to be the owner of the house, and let Jiang Xia find out where the jewels were hidden.

Of course, there is the risk of being identified by detectives.

But the man with the goatee and the middle cut didn't panic at all.They have guns, and they have hostages—except for Nakamura Cao, the two children with Jiang Xia are also very convenient tools, and they can be used just by grabbing them.

When the two robbers were contemplating the steps to turn their faces, Jiang Xia held the teacup handed over by the goatee and looked at the murderous aura on them.

When they were still in the woods just now, Jiang Xia's ghosts discovered the murderous aura in the villa.

When knocking on the door, Goatee became a little more murderous when he saw them.

Jiang Xia feels that these two people have great potential - now that they have found the gem, they have already moved the mind of the shark to kill them, so when they really see the gem, wouldn't they be able to go up a bit? ...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia poked Wu Tiangou in the act of taking refreshments.

Wutiangou is now much smarter than before.It pondered for two seconds, then suddenly realized it and punched it on the palm, then passed through the ceiling and disappeared into Jiang Xia's sight.

After a while, it folded back again, bringing news of Miss Nakamura in the attic—she had just been tied up not long ago, and she was still alive.

Then there is no rush.

Jiang Xia calmed down and listened to the two robbers in front of him, pretending to be cute, introducing the details obediently.

From the time they knocked on the door, Toru Amuro and Conan showed thoughtful eyes from time to time, and they noticed many violations.

But perhaps the detective's instinct of "don't start solving the case until everything is straightened out" prevailed. Neither of the two questioned the goatee and the middle-segmented man face to face, but gradually shifted their attention to the mystery in the villa as the clues increased. on topic.

Jiang Xia watched from the side, silently adding a few strokes to the "Detective Habits Observation Notes" in his heart.

Hui Yuanai was also watching from the side, silently adding a few strokes to the "Jiangxia Habits Observation Notes" in his heart, since he was idle anyway.

She had just arrived at the doctor's house before, and after a brief talk with Jiang Xia, she thought Jiang Xia was a salted fish who was dedicated on the surface, loved paddling in her heart, and just wanted to enjoy the moment.

But now, it seems that this is not the case at all—on the way home, I suddenly encountered a puzzle and couldn’t leave after I couldn’t solve it. Faced with such troublesome things, Jiang Xia didn’t show any impatience at all, and was even a little secretly happy... ...seems like he really enjoys solving puzzles.

Thinking of this, Hui Yuan Ai thought of Dr. A Li again—it just happened that the old man likes to come up with some cold puzzles for her to guess every now and then, why not record these things in a book in the future, and give them to Jiang Xia as a gift together with the tonic... …

……

There are indeed many special places in this villa: almost all the furniture and decorations have animal elements; the walls and cabinets are full of clocks and clocks, and there is a vertical line before the last digit of all electronic watches. There was a crack in the direction; a circular hole was drilled on the wall of the study.

After all, it is a villa left by an old-fashioned watchmaker. Among the many anomalies, the most interesting thing is all kinds of clocks - every 11 o'clock, the alarm clocks of all the watches in the villa will ring at the same time, which is deafening.

In addition, it is the cuckoo clock in the study.

Cuckoo clock is a special kind of clock, it is usually made into the shape of a small house, every time the time is struck, a toy bird will pop up from the window of the clock house, and the bird will send out a series of "cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo". Goo" and then retracted.In short, it is a watch with both ornamental and practical value.

But the one in the villa is different - it doesn't tell the time on the hour, but at noon.

In addition, when telling the time, what popped out of the window was not a cute bird, but three evil ghosts. Each ghost had a letter on its head, which was R, N, and L from right to left.The ghosts will also make a shrill, "Zhi--" and "Zhi--" sound.

Jiang Xia's reaction to the news was flat.His ghosts heard that there was a ghost in the cuckoo clock, but they were all a little interested. They floated to the clock and gathered around to study it.

When the time came, the watch rang, and an extremely ugly devil triplets appeared out of nowhere—completely different from the ghost fetuses of Q bomb Q bomb, the ghost in the cuckoo clock is Western realistic style, looks very ferocious.

The mermaid was dragging her gills, studying the clock with style, when she was caught off guard by three muscular ghosts, and her scales exploded in shock.

After regaining her senses, she flapped her tail angrily, chased inside and outside, trying to beat the three innocent ghost dolls.Miyano Akemi pulled it but didn't hold it, hesitated for a moment, had no choice but to use the murderous spirit dropped by the mermaid just now to rub a lala ball, and waved it twice in the direction of the watch - very team spirit.

Although the devil is a bit ugly, it is undeniable that they contain a lot of information.

Conan and Toru Amuro stared at the cuckoo clock, combined with some spoilers given by Jiang Xia before, they understood everything in an instant.

"At 11 o'clock and animal furniture, the clue is the lion title ring at the door. The clue given by the cuckoo clock is 'Right', 'Light', and 'Night'." Amuro said, "The combination should be 'at night, with The light hits the lion title ring on the right'."

Conan thought about it too.But in order to pretend to be a first-year kid, he could only nod silently beside him: I really miss Kudo Shinichi's identity, the evil organization, the evil gin, the evil sap...

The man with the goatee and the middle part looked at each other excitedly when they heard this.

The man in the middle moved his hand wrapped in plaster, and planned to start crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

But the goatee has more eyes.

He secretly stopped his companions and greeted the detectives with a smile: "At night, let's try it together. My grandfather is very good at making various mechanisms. When it starts up, the scene must be very spectacular—and we can pay the commission fee. "

Chapter 266 Amuro Toru Is A Good Hostage

Goatee always feels that with the wisdom of the leader, the puzzles he set should not be solved so quickly.

Since it is solved so quickly now, the mystery here may actually be like that written in a mystery novel, one link to be solved, and the next link to follow.

In short, if the detective who came to the door was let go at this time, if they couldn't solve the remaining puzzles, wouldn't it be very blind.

Toru Amuro has no other arrangements for today, after all, this is the time for the mysterious trip to Izu in the schedule.He presumed the same for everyone else.

He was about to agree, but suddenly he heard Jiang Xia's suggestion: "It will be dark for more than six hours, it's been a long time. Why don't you try it now."

It feels a bit of a loss to spend a whole day for two groups of ordinary-quality murderous aura.

Half a day is fine.

Conan and Amuro Toru were a little surprised when they heard this, and turned to look at Jiang Xia.

Whether it was the "mirror in the armrest" mentioned by Hui Yuanai at the door, the hole in the wall of the study at this time, or the vanity mirror fixed on the table, it all illustrates one point - this villa The mysterious mechanism in the game is related to "light".

The two detectives have even drawn a simulation picture in their minds—at night, a strong light will shine from the lion title ring at the door. Enter the cuckoo clock and start that mechanism.

Because many mirrors are installed outside the house, this mechanism cannot be activated during the day due to the interference of sunlight... They remembered that Jiang Xia had noticed the mirrors everywhere before the devil in the cuckoo clock poked his head, and put them on They are connected, and it is impossible not to think of it.

Just as she was thinking, Jiang Xia walked to the window and closed the curtains with a swish.

Toru Amuro and Conan looked at his action, startled for a moment, suddenly understood Jiang Xia's meaning, and the corners of their eyes twitched: "You don't know..."

Jiang Xia carefully put the two curtains together.

What used to hang here were ordinary cloth curtains.In recent days, the unlucky granddaughter who inherited the villa felt that someone was peeping, so she replaced the curtains with denser blackout ones.

Now when the curtains are drawn, the room is suddenly dark.

Jiang Xia picked up the bright flashlight on the cabinet, turned it on, and turned the knob to gather the light into a stronger beam.

Instead of going out to find the lion title ring, he walked to the cuckoo clock and observed the mirror fixed on the desk and the hole in the villa wall.

Then calculate the angle and irradiate it.

——The flashy reflection is a photo, and the flashlight is also a photo. If you round it up, it shouldn’t be much different.

Under the light of the flashlight, the cuckoo clock hung quietly on the wall without any movement.

Jiang Xia was not surprised, he raised his hand to beckon, and called Hui Yuanai over, and handed her the flashlight: "Hold it still, keep this angle."

Hui Yuanai was a little puzzled, but according to what Jiang Xia said, he held the flashlight and stood still.

The light shines directly on the cuckoo clock.

The attention of others also focused on it.Jiang Xia took the opportunity to glance at the standing position in the room at this time.Look away.

There is also a reason why Hui Yuanai specially asked Hui Yuanai to help him hold the flashlight.

——If everything goes well, then that jewel-encrusted watch will appear soon.

At that time, the two gangsters are likely to turn against them and snatch the jeweled watch.

The robbers are not good at solving puzzles, and now they are asking for help from others. They are afraid that they will get in the way, so they subconsciously leave Jiang Xia at a distance and stand at the door.

And Hui Yuan Ai is not very interested in solving puzzles, and she is a little far away. Just now, she was closer to the robber.

If she continued to poke there like before, she would probably be honorably promoted as a hostage in a minute.

Don't worry about Conan, he is the most reassuring. He has already stood under the cuckoo clock with great interest, and is waiting to witness the miracle.

In short, after Haibara Ai was summoned, the one closest to the robbers and the most suitable for taking them as hostages was Toru Amuro...

Come on boss.

Jiang Xia silently swung him two pull-up balls in his mind, the one of the same style as Akemi Miyano.

Afterwards, he glanced at the hand of the man with the center split in plaster. When the man realized something was wrong and stared back vigilantly, he withdrew his gaze and looked back at the cuckoo clock on the wall.

He raised his hand to move the minute hand, so that the time continued to fast forward.

According to the "Night" clue provided by the devil triplets, the mechanism in the villa can only be triggered at night.According to the situation here, Jiang Xia feels that the conditions to control this point are nothing more than time and light.

Just now, he closed the anti-peeping blackout curtains of his unlucky granddaughter. The light in the room was already very dark, but he still failed to trigger the cuckoo clock.

So time is probably one of the triggering elements.

And the mechanical cuckoo clock on the wall in front of him does not have the function of automatic network calibration. When it is dialed, it will think it is what time, which is easy to fool.Therefore, Jiang Xia felt that shading + fast forward should be able to meet the trigger requirements.

Of course, there is another situation, that is, the mirrors used for reflection have been made with some precise scientific manipulations. After the light passes through them, the nature will change. Only the special abnormal light can turn on the cuckoo clock and so on. ...

Fortunately, the grandfather who set up the mechanism did not expect someone to solve his delicate riddle so sloppily, and did not leave such a backhand.

——When it was more than seven o'clock, the cuckoo clock responded.
