Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

"You seem to have too many toys?"

Nishikawa Wumei frowned, feeling that he seemed to have underestimated the little boy in front of him. Although he didn't know what the other party had shot out just now, it was an indisputable fact that the stupid dog fainted. He couldn't give him any chance!

Nishikawa Wumei quickly walked up to Conan and swung the steel pipe towards Conan's face.

The steel pipe whistled in the wind, and this blow obviously left no room for sluggishness. Nishikawa Wumei used the force to kill someone!

"Hey, Ms. Mamiya, even if you are the owner of the Mamiya family, you can't treat guests like this, right?"

Mamiya Dai found that the steel rod she was swinging was hooked by something and could not be dropped at all. She turned around and saw Natsukawa looking at her with a smile.

Xia Chuan's expression seemed to contain some sarcasm, but also a hint of pity for the other person.

He didn't know what Conan found in this room, but it was definitely not that scenery.

To be honest, after struggling for half his life for a piece of scenery, he found out in the end that he was fooled. Xia Chuan hid the answer from the other party and let him go to prison with regret.

In the original plot, Conan seems innocent.

In fact, the other party was told that the treasure was the scenery. This blow was greater than anything else and was actually a kind of cruelty.

Mamiya Yoro remained silent and tried to pull the steel pipe out of Natsukawa's hand, but failed.

Xia Chuan seemed to sense her intention and said with a smile: "If you want it, I'll give it back to you!"

After saying that, Xia Chuan let go.

"Uncle Xiachuan..."

Conan was about to say something, but when he thought of Natsukawa's methods, he shut up silently.

It's true that Xia Chuan is gentle and polite, but when it comes to violence, he is more violent than anyone else.

Let alone other things, he was a little scared when he hit the secret door today. That was a marble wall! Being able to kick open the marble secret door should be no worse than Xiaolan smashing a telephone pole with one punch, right?

Mamiya was delighted when he retracted the steel pipe, and raised his head to give Natsukawa a fatal blow.

However, Xia Chuan dared to let go because he was confident that he could subdue the other party.

"Conan, you saw it too. She was the first to attack me."

"Ah—bang—clang."

The sound of talking and screaming and wailing rang out together.

Mamiya Dai flew backwards like a cannonball, hit the wall, and the steel pipe slid to the ground.

The blow was obviously quite powerful. Mamiya felt dizzy and his mind was dark. This darkness was even more terrifying than the darkness in the basement.

"Can't you just talk it out? You said this happened, Conan, you saw it, I was just defending myself."

"Yes, Uncle Xiachuan, I saw it. You were defending yourself."

Conan shuddered, looked at Nishikawa Wumei who had begun to foam at the mouth, and said, "Uncle Natsukawa, is she okay?"

He wanted to ask Xia Chuan whether this kick would kill the other person directly. The scene of foaming at the mouth coupled with the old face covered with age spots looked really scary!

I don’t know how old the person who disguised himself as Mamiya Dai is, but he should not be young. Will he really die instantly from this kick?

"It's not a big problem. I probably ate too much at night."

"...I remember that she went back to her room after eating only a few bites at night."

"What do you say?"

"It's okay. It turns out that eating too much is bad for your health."

Conan no longer paid attention to Nishikawa Wumei who was almost fainted. He picked up the steel pipe that the other party dropped on the ground and started hitting it on the ground.

Xia Chuan asked in confusion: "Conan, what are you doing?"

"This white marble floor should have been installed later. The treasure left by the Mamiya family should be in this room. Although I don't know what the sentence that the white piece deciphered means, it was the letter G in the black piece that led me to this place.

If I guess correctly, there should be a layer of marble tiles under this white marble floor tile."

Conan hit the ground hard and soon broke a tile. The tile was very thin, about one centimeter thick.

Conan pushed aside the gravel and immediately smiled: "I guessed right, Uncle Xiachuan, look."

Xiachuan: ...

Shouldn't the treasure Conan is looking for be behind the old man's painting? Is it a bit off topic to find this place? Or is the secret code of the chess actually a pun?

Xiachuan was overwhelmed, seeing Conan's eyes flickering constantly, should he knock him out?

What if there is a lot of treasure hidden under this room? It would be a shame for Conan to find it.

But if I knock him unconscious, how can I explain to him when he wakes up? Should I say he fainted from heatstroke or it was the aftereffects of Mamiya's kick?

It seems that none of them are very scientific.

Conan had no idea and was like a hardworking little bee, prying open the floor tiles one by one.

With the first piece, the rest were easy. In just over ten minutes, most of the floor tiles in the room were pried up.

“I didn’t expect it to be like this!”

Conan accidentally turned over the floor tiles and found that the back of the white marble floor tiles, that is, the side that was attached to the ground, was dyed black.

Seeing this scene, Xia Chuan obviously also saw the clue.

Obviously, unlocking the mechanism of this room is indeed related to the chess pieces in the garden.

He looked carefully and found that the floor tiles in this room were eight in each direction, for a total of sixty-four, exactly the same as the chessboard for garden chess!

As for why the front side is white and the back side is black, it goes without saying!

To open the mechanism in this room, one should replicate the arrangement of the garden chess pieces.

"Huh?" Xia Chuan suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction where Bond fainted.

"Uncle Xiachuan, what are you looking at? Come and help me. Bond just fainted and will wake up soon."

The effect of anesthesia on humans lasts about half an hour to forty-five minutes, and for dogs it's probably an hour at most. By the time Bond has unravelled the secret of the Mamiya family, he will have just woken up.

It's good that the other person is like this, at least he won't wear a camera and take some messy pictures of himself.

"it is good."

After the floor was pried up, part of it was filled back in. Xia Chuan was actually a little curious about how this mechanism distinguished colors. What effect would occur if the black piece was not facing upwards but the white piece was facing upwards?

Conan did as he said. After filling the black spot, Natsukawa turned it over again.

“…Uncle Xiachuan, what are you doing?”

A question mark popped up above Conan's head. He finally got it done, what is Natsukawa doing? Is he really playing chess?

"It's okay, I'm just trying out the effect of this mechanism." After Xia Chuan flipped the last black face, he waited quietly.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Five minutes...

"Conan, did you guess wrong? Maybe the other party just wants to lay a new layer of floor tiles?"

"That's impossible. There must be something wrong. Or is it because the black side of the black fish is not facing up?"

Xia Chuan shook his head and said, "Do you think the mechanism from decades ago can tell whether you use black flour or white flour? It's impossible."

Conan thought about it and found that this was true. If the mechanism from decades ago was so powerful that it could check both sides, wouldn’t that be a bit too much black technology?

He thought hard for a long time, and suddenly thought of something, "I know, it has something to do with weight! These extra ones must be taken out, and we can't be in this room either."

The two of them were busy again, taking the extra bricks to the corridor.

After Xia Chuan dragged Nishikawa Wumei and Bond out of the room, the whole room began to tremble, the sounds of chains and gears were heard, and the entire ground seemed to come alive. The place where the white jade bricks were placed bulged up half a meter high and then sank to its original position.

The noise of gears and chains became more and more intense, even a little harsh.

Nishikawa Wumei was awakened by the sound. Just as he showed a look of joy, he was knocked unconscious again by Xiachuan's knife.

"This is not the treasure you are looking for. You'd better go to sleep." Xia Chuan threw the other person into the corridor.

When the mechanism was finally running, the four middle floor tiles completely sank and even disappeared.

The sound of chains and gears clacking continued.

A stone platform about 1.5 meters long and wide slowly rose from it. It was a complete stone platform, polished very smoothly, fitting perfectly without any gaps. It looked like an ordinary... stone???

Conan hurried forward, not afraid that it might be poisonous, and began to explore.

The treasure must be inside this stone platform. See if there is any mechanism to open it.

"Strange, there's nothing?"

The surface of the stone platform was too smooth, without any gaps or openings, which made Conan very confused.

Conan stood on tiptoe to see if there was anything on the top, but the stone platform was nearly two meters high, and even if he jumped up, he could barely reach it with his hands, and he couldn't climb up at all.

Xia Chuan walked over. His height was just right to see the top. He looked carefully and finally stopped his gaze at the middle of the top.

There is a long rectangular hole in the middle, which is obviously the way to open the stone platform.

He picked up Conan. Since it had come to this, there was no need to hide it from Conan. Even if Conan asked to hand this thing over to the Japanese officials, he should be able to get some money.

Of course, this is based on the premise that this treasure was left by the old man of the Mamiya family.

If the treasure was not left by the Mamiya family, but by the previous owner of the castle, as long as the owner of the treasure cannot be found, the treasure will naturally become the property of the first person who discovered it.

Frank couldn't find out who the previous owner was, let alone the Neon police, so as long as he confirmed that it was not left behind by the Mamiya family, he would at most share the money with Conan.

wrong!

As a minor, Conan should not be able to share this money!

well.

Xia Chuan unconsciously smiled.

But before that, you have to open it and see what's inside.

The only pity is that the stone platform is not particularly large, and it feels solid when you knock it. I guess it can't hold much, just a box of jewelry at most.

"There's a long hole on it."

Conan leaned his head closer, trying hard to see something.

However, after looking for a long time, even using a flashlight, I still couldn't see anything.

"I'll take a look."

Natsukawa picked up Conan and leaned forward to take a look.

I thought Conan might be able to find a way, but it seems I was thinking too much. Conan didn't seem to know the use of this hole.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

Conan thinks that Natsukawa has the same IQ as himself, and the two complement each other. Maybe Natsukawa can see through things that he cannot see through.

"It was pitch black, I couldn't see anything..."

Xia Chuan really couldn't tell. The hole was too small for a steel pipe to fit in.

"Move aside for a moment, let me take a closer look."

Xia Chuan rolled up his sleeves. Conan knew what Xia Chuan was going to do and hurriedly grabbed Xia Chuan's trouser legs. "Uncle Xia Chuan, we don't know what's inside yet. If we destroy it violently, it might damage the things inside."

What happened last time must not happen again, Conan is on high alert at all times, fearing that Natsukawa will do something illegal again.

He was afraid that if Xia Chuan punched him, the hard marble platform would break.

"What are you talking about? I'm not that kind of person!" Xia Chuan replied seriously, "I always feel that this hole is a bit like a keyhole."

"Keyhole?"

Conan was suddenly stunned, and after thinking about it, it seemed that it was somewhat similar.

This long, rectangular hole is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and it really does feel like a keyhole.

"But where can I find the key at this time?"

Conan began to look around the room, suspecting that the so-called key might also be in this room.

However, the result disappointed him. There was nothing on the walls, and the floor had been pulled up by them. There was no key at all.

"Could the key be related to the self-righteous intellectuals?" Conan muttered and began to reason.
