Conan looked at the corpse on the ground with a solemn expression.

The temperature of the water pool was about 20 degrees, but there was no flatulence in the body of the deceased, indicating that the person was killed not long ago.

Combining the clues of the suspected diamond in the stone lantern, he immediately asked the doctor to return to the beetle car at the foot of the mountain, and used the antenna installed on the roof to contact the police as soon as possible to report the case.

Maybe the killer hasn't gone far.

...Is it an illusion? It always feels like someone is watching us.

Conan couldn't tell for a while whether the source of this pressure was the organization or the corpse in front of him.

He took a deep breath and reminded himself that now is not the time to think about this, and instead said: "Okay, let's go back to the tent first."

"Eh? What..."

"Go back now?"

"Aren't you going to unlock the code inside the stone lantern?"

Obviously, the three little heads who have personally experienced some 'big scenes' have their own ideas.

It seems that Conan's decision is unbelievable.

"Idiot! Maybe the killer who killed this man is still nearby!"

Conan pointed at the corpse and snarled, "Do you want to be killed too?"

Inside the agency room, hiding in the shadows by the window, a certain strange thief who was watching the development of the situation lowered his voice:

"...Hey, bro, did you hear that, Kudo Shinichi didn't plan to come in, he's changed his **** today, right?"

"The gems you want to steal are in the vault in front of you, will you give up?" Ye Geng asked.

"Of course not." Kuroba Kuito replied without hesitation.

"He is too." Ye Geng said, "Speaking of which, this kind of paranoid attitude towards something is quite similar to yours."

"Brother, it's not too much of you to do scientific research." Kuroba Kaito reminded someone not to forget to include himself when classifying.

"Maybe some of us are not normal, but this is not an important thing..."

Ye Geng paused for a while and said, "I'll go around the neighborhood first to check if the treasure hunters have left other hands behind. The connection range of the wireless earphones is not that far. The earphones you use are separated from the middle. After that, you can see a red button. Press and hold for five seconds to enter the overclocking mode. It can connect to the satellite signal and have a conversation with me for about ten seconds. Remember not to put it back in your ear. At that time, the device will heat up, and then the panel and chip It will also burn out, so...don't use it in a hurry."

"Don't worry, I don't think I can use this function." Kuroba said.

"Oh, that's fine." Ye Geng cut off the communication as soon as he finished speaking.

Kuroba Kuito shrugged and muttered softly, "What a cold-faced old man who likes to worry."

Then, he focused his attention again on the conversation of the little people outside the window.

Sure enough, things developed as Ye Gengyi expected.

Conan is not very willing to drive everyone back to the camp.

Especially when Haibara Ai also did the act of touching the corpse and successfully found the notepad in the deceased's pocket.

"He seems to be a treasure hunter. In his notebook, he recorded many treasures and corresponding maps that have been circulated all over Japan. The reason why he came here is also because he found clues related to Sansui Yoshiemon... It also wrote In order to get this gem, he specially looked for a powerful companion..."

companion?

Conan was attracted and asked subconsciously, "Does it say who that companion is?"

"No," Haiyuan Ai shook his head, "However, he wrote the reason why he wanted to look for gems, you see..."

"In order to draw out that pretentious thief and settle the grievances of ten years ago?"

Conan muttered this passage several times, and said to himself silently:

Jewels and pretending thieves, should I be talking about Kaitou Kid?

Strange... This is a bit inconsistent with the information I have. Kaitou Kid is obviously a high school student who looks very similar to his big Kudo Shinichi, and should be about the same age.

A grudge from ten years ago?

Not only did Conan fail to fully understand the situation, but even the party, Kuroba Kaito, looked inexplicable.

This person does not know how to write clearly when taking notes. What is a pretentious thief? This way of pronouncing is clearly mixed with a lot of personal grievances, right?

Could it be the competitor that his father encountered during the 'activity'?

Hmm... The phantom thief and the treasure hunter, although they can't be regarded as peers, do occasionally have conflicts in business.

But people are already dead, and it is meaningless to care about this.

Later, I will find an opportunity to get the notebook, and I will know at a glance whether there is any other useful information recorded in it.

Kuroba Kuito revised his course of action.

On Conan's side, because the phantom thief Kidd might be involved in this case, he showed a faintly excited expression.

After discussing for a while, Conan diligently explained the secret code left in the stone lantern and the fact that the pretentious thief was probably referring to the phantom thief Kidd, and finally waited for the dark clouds in the air. Assists sent.

Seeing that it started to rain, he took advantage of the situation and made the decision to go into the house to avoid the rain.

"However, this old house feels so uncomfortable," Yuan Tai muttered, "Is there really diamonds in it?"

"If it hadn't been taken away..."

Conan noticed the periphery of the wall, and the circle seemed to be wet soil washed over by water. Thinking that the owner of this old wooden house was the former master of the mechanism, Sansui Yoshiemon, he could not help but ask vigilantly:

"Haihara, is there anything else written in that notebook?"

"There should be a lot more content," said Haiyuan Ai, "but the back is all soaked in water and needs to be dried before turning the pages, otherwise if you accidentally break it~lightnovelpub.net~ everything will be lost. Can't see it anymore."

"Then how long will it take!"

Yuan Tai pushed open the door impulsively and looked at the pitch-dark interior, his aura instantly weakened.

Just as he was about to admit his cowardice and temporarily hand over the position of the teenage detective team leader to Conan, those eyes that gradually adapted to the darkness saw the stairs directly in front of him:

"I understand!"

As Yuan Tai said, he turned on the watch-shaped flashlight and walked over there. "The residence of the king is close to the sun wheel, so the diamond should be hidden in the highest part of the house. Only the roof is the closest to the sun!"

"Yuan Tai, don't just rush in! This is the house made by the master of the mechanism!"

Conan didn't have time to stop him, but he was a step too late to remind him in a hurry.

Hearing the sound of a gear turning under the floor, it was only a blink of an eye, and he rushed to the stairs. The naughty child whose left foot had just stepped up to the first step was like a broken wire. Like a kite, it fell feebly toward the opening.
