Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

The shell of the pigeon clock is basically made of wood and uses a mortise and tenon structure.

The mortise and tenon structure is not easy to dismantle, but Xia Chuan happened to be there.

Xia Chuan had some understanding of this thing, and with a few knocks here and there, the house-shaped panel on the front was removed.

There are gears and other things packed inside, and even if they are taken apart, the gears are still running.

Above, on a small box, sat three goblin statues, each with a letter above its head, exactly the same as what the Nakamura brothers had said.

"This ghost statue is indeed a bit scary." Kogoro Mori rubbed his chin. He felt that he had seen this thing somewhere before, but he didn't pay attention to the letters on it.

Xia Chuan nodded, his eyes fixed on the small box under the goblin statue.

I guess what's inside must be Demon's personal collection of priceless watches.

"Isn't this a photoreceptor?" Conan noticed with his sharp eyes that there was a mechanical photoreceptor under the gear.

The photosensitive element is a modern product, which is somewhat different from the wooden pigeon clock.

"Conan, you know too much, don't you?"

Anya looked unhappy. Given Conan's current condition, why was he still hiding his identity? He might as well just expose it.

"Ah... this is... this is..."

Conan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "You forgot, I saw it the last time I went to Dr. Agasa's house. Dr. Agasa's newly developed photosensitive street lights will turn on as long as there is no light."

"How amazing!" Xia Chuan was surprised. At this time, has the use of photoreceptors been developed to this extent?

"Yes!"

Conan nodded, put his mind at rest and continued checking.

He looked carefully and found that there was a wire on the top of the photoreceptor, which was connected to the wooden box where the goblin was sitting.

"This is......"

Conan had just said two words when Anya reached out, grabbed the wooden box, and with a gentle pull, the entire box was completely pulled out.

ka ka ka-

Then, the gears stopped completely, and several springs popped out, hitting Conan in the face.

"..."

Conan looked unhappy. This Anya acted so impulsively.

"Father, what do you think this is?"

Anya obediently brought the box to Xiachuan.

"This is......"

The Nakamura brothers' heartbeats quickened, they had some vague guesses, their eyes were filled with fanaticism, and they began to look at the few people with unfriendly eyes.

The watch left by demon is probably in there!

Nakamura Sou was about to take action, but was stopped by Nakamura Ba just as he raised his hand.

He shook his head and motioned for Nakamura Cao to continue reading.

Before the box is opened, it is in a Schrödinger state and no one knows whether it contains a priceless watch.

Actually, this is too simple.

If they had known this was the case, they would have taken this thing apart long ago.

It's all because they were too cautious.

"So, Mr. Nakamura, can we open this box and take a look?"

Xia Chuan looked at the two of them with a smile on his face. Ever since they saw the box, the two of them had never taken their eyes off it.

It seems that they guessed it too.

"dismantle!"

Nakamura Tsuo lost his temper and yelled excitedly, which scared Maori Kogoro so much that he glared at him with dead eyes. If he was not a client, he would have scolded him long ago.

Xia Chuan gave Yue Er a subtle look.

The two have been dating for some time, and there is already a tacit understanding between their eyes.

Yoel immediately understood the meaning of the look and began to be wary of the Nakamura brothers next to him.

Anya rolled her eyes and silently moved from Conan's left to his right.

By the way, it should be safer with Conan acting as a shield.

Conan had no idea that he had been sold out by Ania, and he still stared at the wooden box, waiting for Natsukawa to open it.

Click.

The top of the wooden box was removed, revealing half of the head of a lifelike pigeon.

"..."

The Nakamura brothers' faces froze for a moment.

No?

Just after a second of loss, Xia Chuan moved the entire top wooden board away.

There was a spring under the pigeon, which immediately pushed the pigeon out.

The white carrier pigeon represents peace, but it has a glittering gold watch hanging around its neck.

The watch strap is made of pure gold, and each section is a precious treasure that the craftsman has worked hard to create.

The watch body is more precious.

“Diamonds are forever”, and diamonds that are said to be forever are inlaid on it.

Available in various colors.

Although diamonds are small in size, they are numerous and come in a variety of colors.

Among them, the twelve o'clock position and the center of the pointer are each inlaid with a red and blue gradient gem that is larger than the others.

"not bad."

Yoel commented silently.

However, in her eyes, the gemstone on this watch is just that.

Compared to the dazzling flower Xiachuan gave her...it can't compare.

In terms of size and color, it is not a heavyweight.

"what is this?"

Kogoro Mori took it out and looked at it from left to right.

Although he likes money, this thing is a bit too flashy. Besides, even if it is a treasure, it belongs to the Nakamura brothers and has nothing to do with him.

Therefore, he was not very excited, but rather appeared somewhat calm.

However, the Nakamura brothers' eyes lit up. Nakamura couldn't care less at this time and reached out to snatch the watch from Kogoro Mori.

"Wait a moment!"

Xia Chuan took the watch in his hand and asked meaningfully, "Is this really what your grandfather left for you?"

"Yeah yeah!"

Nakamura Cao coughed twice, stepped forward and said, "Grandpa told us before he died that he left us a treasure in the villa for us to find by ourselves.

I think it should be this watch.

Thank you so much, I will give you the balance later. "

Kogoro Mouri laughed out loud. This was probably the fastest time he got the money.

As soon as I received the deposit, I found what the employer wanted. It was so easy to make money.

"Since you are sure that the watch is left by your grandfather, then it is easy." Xia Chuan nodded and continued: "Uncle Maori, don't you think this watch looks familiar?"

"Look familiar?" Kogoro Mouri was stunned for a moment, then stared at his watch seriously for a few seconds.

"Indeed, I seem to have seen it somewhere."

When the Wind Goblin committed his last case, he was still a criminal policeman, so he had some impression of this thing.

But there are not many, and after looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't recognize it completely.

Sensing that Maori Kogoro was unreliable, Xia Chuan held his forehead and sighed, then explained: "If I'm not mistaken, this watch seems to be exactly the same as the watch lost in the last case committed by the bandit group Wind Fairy ten years ago.

anyway.

If this watch is really the same one, it should be returned to the owner even after ten years.

After all, the criminal prosecution period in Japan is 20 years, and only ten years have passed, so this watch is still considered stolen property."

He weighed it twice, smiled and said nothing.

(Ask for monthly ticket)

Chapter 237: Hidden Loss and Danger! (5k)

The Nakamura brothers' expressions became very ugly, and they looked at Xiachuan dimly with eyes that seemed to want to kill someone.

“If that’s the case, Izubuchi Bunjuro, your grandfather, might have been a member of the bandit group the Windy Fairies ten years ago.

In fact, based on the golf club bag in the living room, I have reason to suspect that he is the demon leader of the Wind Goblins."

"No, this is the property my grandpa left me. How could it be some thief gang led by the Windy Goblins?"

Nakamura So was still thinking about explaining, but he was already showing signs of wanting to take action, and Nakamura Ba beside him was not much better.

The two knew that at this point, it would probably be impossible to get the watch back through peaceful means.

They slowly calmed down their excitement and their facial expressions became calm.

I originally wanted to get along with you guys as an ordinary person, but if that's the case...

The Nakamura brothers looked at the few people as if they were dead. Now that they knew the origin of the watch, they could not leave here alive.

Although they didn't intend to let them leave at the beginning.

"The specific details have to be handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department for identification. If it is not correct, the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely return it to you." Kogoro Mouri also noticed the problem and his expression became serious.

It would have been better if Xia Chuan didn't say anything. Once he said it, this watch really looked more and more familiar.

Old memories flooded his mind, and Mao Li soon remembered them.

Ten years ago, when he was a criminal policeman, he did see a photo of this watch.

In that case, the watch disappeared from the face of the earth, and the Wind Fairy also hid from the earth and never appeared again.

Everything he saw told him that this matter was indeed very strange.

At this time, he remembered the letter again.

There is definitely something wrong with the Nakamura brothers in front of me.

Perhaps, they are not Nakamura Sou and Nakamura Ba.

So, where is the real Nakamura Sou?

Before finding Nakamura So, Kogoro Mori had no intention of falling out with him, but he also didn't intend to hand this thing over to the other party.

If he handed the watch to the other party now, not only Nakamura So, but I'm afraid all of his group would be in danger.

While he was thinking.

Suddenly, an inexplicable noise came from the wooden ceiling.

Everyone in the study looked up in surprise and glanced at the ceiling.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

The knocking continued nine times in total.

"I remember Mr. Nakamura just said at the door that you two brothers are the only ones here. What's the noise upstairs?"

Kogoro Mori had some concerns, but Natsukawa did not.

It’s not that he doesn’t care about the life or death of the real Nakamura So, but he already knew that the other party was in the attic.
