Chapter 130 - Ten thousand taels of gold, one stone of white rice
"What do you mean?" Kimura was surprised.
"This treasure is comparable to a thousand taels of gold and a stone of rice," Conan spread his hands and asked. "Excuse me, what does this sentence mean?"
"This treasure is equivalent to ten thousand taels of gold plus one meter and one stone." Kimura replied subconsciously.
"This treasure is 'comparable' to ten thousand taels of gold and one meter and one stone," Conan shook his head and said with a smile. "In other words, this treasure is comparable to ten thousand taels of gold -' or 'one meter and one stone'. Please note, it is 'or'!"
"
"Or?" Kimura's expression was full of confusion. "Jin Wanliang or Mi Yishi? You mean, is the treasure a random selection model of Jin Wanliang and Mi Yishi under the control of some agency? But if that's the case
If so, Takeda's descendants will not be able to freely take out the treasure..."
"This reminder means," Conan once again rejected Kimura's inference after listening to it. "This treasure is equivalent to ten thousand taels of gold, and it is also equivalent to one meter per stone."
"It's equivalent to ten thousand taels of gold, and it's equivalent to one meter and one stone?" Not only Kimura's expression was extremely surprised, but even Tanaka was dumbfounded. "Then don't you mean..."
"That's right. Excuse me, what is equivalent to ten thousand taels of gold, and equivalent to one meter and one stone?" Conan asked with the expression of a teacher asking a student.
"..." Kimura's eyebrows twitched. "Are you asking me?"
"If you can't think of it, forget it." When Conan said this, he still had a faint smile on his face, as if he was mocking Kimura's ignorance. "Excuse me, how much is one stone of rice?"
"One stone..." Yuantai thought with some embarrassment. "The rice measuring cup at home should be one piece... It seems to be 18o ml..."
"One stone is the amount of rice that a person eats in a year," Tadao finally answered. "One stone is 1,000 liters, which is about 180 liters."
"I remembered," Mitsuhiko suddenly thought of something. "At that time, it seemed that the price of one stone of rice was fixed at one tael of gold. This was also the income standard of the samurai at that time... But it was also far different from ten thousand taels of gold.
Alright?"
"Little guy," Kimura's expression darkened again. "Tell me the point! What exactly are you talking about?"
"Okay," Conan sighed and said. "Ask again, how much does one stone of rice weigh?"
"How much?" Kimura and Tanaka were obviously not househusbands, and both looked confused. On the other hand, even Tadao, who had often acted as a commentator before, was also silent - maybe Liangzo would know this, but
Asking Tadao to know this is really a bit difficult.
At this time, an unexpected person gave an answer.
"150 kilograms," Haiyuan Ai had already stood up and answered while dusting himself off. "Because one weight is 150 grams."
"That's right," Conan looked at Haihara Ai with some surprise. "Then, next question, where is Jin Wanliang?"
"That's it!!!" Before anyone else could give an answer, Tadao had already said the answer with a look of realization. "The legal weight of a single grain of Koshu's one ryo gold is 15 grams! So the gold million ryo is also 15o
kilogram!"
"This is what the prompt means," Conan shrugged. "It takes 15o kilograms of weight to open the mechanism."
"..." Kimura looked into Conan's eyes and continued to ask after a moment. "So, what should we do if we have a weight of 15o kilograms?"
"The flashlight is 9o degrees counterclockwise." Conan demanded.
Before a few people appeared, Kimura and Tanaka's flashlights were pointed at an unusually colored stone brick in front of them and Haibara Ai; after a few people appeared, both of them pointed their flashlights at Tadao's eyes.
——In order to ensure that the most threatening adult cannot use force; after Conan began to discuss with Kimura, the two flashlights began to illuminate the ground, providing dimming in a diffuse manner, but providing illumination with a wider range of light.
Now, Conan asked Kimura and Tanaka to light up their left sides.
"Tanaka, don't move your flashlight." Kimura ordered, then turned his flashlight in the direction Conan requested.
On the ground in that direction, there is a half-remained wooden board.
"Although that piece of wood is in a state of disrepair now, only half of it is left, but it should have been complete." After Conan finished speaking halfway, he realized that he seemed to be slightly off topic. "Um, something doesn't look right about that thing.
, so it obviously has some special function - for example, put a weight of 15o kilograms there. Then, the unusually colored stone brick you observed with the flashlight before may spit out something. "
"Then I'll bother you," Kimura raised the shotgun that he had accidentally put down again. "Weight Team."
"Use us as weights to touch the gravity mechanism of the wooden board?" Conan raised his eyebrows. "In that case, I suggest you let the girl come over."
He was pointing at Hui Yuan Ai.
"That little girl?" Kimura glanced at Haihara Ai not far away. "What are you going to do? Are you planning to defraud us of the hostages and then take the opportunity to escape?"
Judging from the current position, Kimura and Tanaka are only a few meters away from Haibara Ai. Even with a shotgun, every bullet can be easily hit without aiming. But if she is allowed to join her friends,
Then everyone must be at least fifteen meters away from the two people. If you want to hit accurately at this distance, you must aim, which is always more troublesome than at close range.
"We are not that 'despicable'," Conan chuckled. "Please note that it is not an easily accessible mechanism, but 15o kilograms. What do you think-"
Conan pointed at himself, and then at Mitsuhiko, Genta and Tadao (Ayumi was still hiding). "It's almost impossible for the four of us to reach 150 kilograms, and it's almost impossible to add that one."
Kimura then began to carefully observe Conan and the four of them.
The adult man looked very thin and weighed about 60 kilograms.
How do you think the little fat guy is so fat, 4o to 5o kilograms?
The freckles and eyes are relatively thin, weighing 3o to 4o kilograms in total...
The total is 13o to 15o kilograms, which is indeed likely to fail to meet the agency's requirements.
"Okay then," Kimura motioned to Haibara Ai to meet Conan and the others. "Little girl, stand on that wooden board with them."
"Welcome back." Conan smiled and looked at Haihara Ai walking towards them.
"Yoshida?" Haihara Ai was carrying Kimura and Tanaka on his back, so he could lip-talk like this without being discovered by them.
"Let's stand up together." Conan did not answer Haibara Ai's question - in fact, because he was looked at directly by Kimura and Tanaka, it was impossible for him to answer this question, otherwise he would be found to be abnormal.
When they walked towards the wooden board together, Conan spoke. Haiyuan Ai heard clearly, but not clearly.
"Don't worry," Conan gestured to the number 82 with both hands and said softly. "aa-a11-the-bsp; "Huh?" Haibara was confused.
