On the contrary, Conan saw Yu Jiang and subconsciously defended: "Brother Qingshui, listen to my explanation! Didn't you tear up the letter and throw it into the trash can just to leave clues for us? That Headless Horseman didn't let you tell other people, mainly because
Just to be on guard against the police, we are your friends and we shouldn’t alert others.”
"Yes!" Masumi Sera was afraid that Yu Jiang would refuse their help, so she also helped, "The Haneda Sixth Crown is applying for a long examination in the most important competition. As a friend, it is normal to follow him worriedly, and the police have not been alerted. You don't have to worry about irritation.
Prisoner."
Ikujiang turned his attention to Kuroda Bingwei, with a few words written clearly on his face: Didn't the police alert him?
Sera Masumi's face immediately turned cold: "Hey! Why are you following us?!"
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound of skin touching each other, and Sera Masumi saw that the back of her hand was red. She looked at her mother in disbelief, accusing her eyes.
Unexpectedly, Mary actually said: "Not calling the police does not mean that we really have to hide the truth from the police. The people who can help us most in Japan are the police. Besides, Officer Kuroda has an evil face, and criminals may not regard him as a policeman."
ah?
Sera Masaki was a little confused. Taken individually, each of her mother's words seemed to make sense, but when put together they still gave her a strange feeling.
But my mother would never hurt Brother Youxian.
With this mentality, Sera Masumi easily accepted Mary's explanation.
"Brother Qingshui," Conan raised his head and asked Yu Jiang, "the prisoner said he would wait until your time runs out. When will it be?"
Ikue wanted to turn on his phone to check the time, but Subaru Okiya stopped him as soon as he made this move.
Okiya Subaru: "It's 19:14 now."
"That's right, Brother Youxian, you'd better not touch any electronic products now. Only in this way can you complete the game with the hotel when you return without being directly judged as a loser."
Yu Jiang was stunned: "I applied for the long-term exam because I was worried that if I gave up, my time would be cleared. I didn't want to go back and continue the competition."
He wouldn't risk Yumi's life and death just for the sake of a mere seven-time champion.
Okiya Subaru said: "No matter what, the Seven Crowns is your and Mr. Haneda's wish, right? There is still a chance, as long as we are fast enough."
Yu Jiang was silent. He skipped the topic as if to escape: "I applied for the long exam at 7 minutes in the seventh round. Adding in the time spent on the road, there are still 4 hours and 16 minutes left, that is, as of 11 p.m.
Point 30.”
The countdown is always the most tense part. Conan felt the urgency deeply and made a prompt decision: "Anyway, let's go to the well first!"
The well where the daughter of the shrine is hidden is located somewhere in the Meiji Shrine, but there is obviously no princess here, and it is impossible for Miyamoto Yumi to become the frog princess at the bottom of the well like in the fairy tale, waiting for Ikue's kiss to lift the curse.
Yujiang only found one [incense car] beside the well.
"Turning a lifelong hobby into a weapon that can hurt people, it is precisely because of such frivolous shogi players that the shogi world has no successors." Kuroda Hei said with emotion after seeing the chess piece.
Others didn't quite understand why he said this. The corners of Yu Jiang's mouth raised, as if he was smiling, but his blue eyes were as deep as the ice and cold pool: "Yeah, if it wasn't like this, how could a frivolous chess player like me keep distance?"
Is the seventh crown just one step away?"
As their eyes met, the air seemed to be burning, and crackling sounds spread in everyone's imagination. The confrontation between the two sides has materialized, and there is no longer any excuse to cover it up.
Conan twitched his lips in embarrassment, trying to break up the fight, at least to prevent the two worried adults from fighting among themselves at the critical moment, but before he could say anything, Sera Masumi had already asked: "What are the two of them doing?
?”
Mary narrowed her eyes and said angrily: "You're talking nonsense! [Xiang Che] is likened to a spear because it can only move in a straight line. Combined with the pattern on the back of the chess horse, the next location is already obvious."
Okiya Subaru: "I'm looking for a car."
Conan: "???"
He usually discovers the clues first and "understands" it first. This situation of being one step ahead of others and even being isolated by everyone is really novel for him.
Conan vaguely noticed that there was a strange atmosphere surrounding the five people except him. It seemed that they had a tacit understanding that prevented others from getting involved. But they clearly had no relationship. There was no blood bond or tacit understanding of kinship.
You can tell just by looking at everyone's surnames: Elena Dion, Kuroda Hei, Sera Masumi, Okiya Subaru (Akai Shuichi) and Shimizu Yuzuru (Haneda Danya), five people have seven surnames.
Oh! Absolutely.
"Eh, eh, Phantom Saka?" When he actually arrived at the second location pointed to by the clues, Sera Masumi made a surprised voice.
Conan's half-moon eyes: "Sister Sera, don't you already know the answer?"
He even cooperated with others to isolate him!
Sera Masaki laughed and said: "I just didn't expect that there are really criminals who abide by the rules. They are very strict!"
This is true.
Conan was thinking seriously about the criminal's intentions. He seemed to really not intend to harm Officer Miyamoto. Rather than saying it was a threat, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a challenge.
Although he didn't see through the criminal's hint at the first time, he basically guessed it when he was in the car, not to mention several other people. The criminal strictly followed the rules and terminology of shogi and laid out a broken score for Haneda Danya.
Waiting for his crack.
While Conan was thinking, he slowly followed behind the large army. However, just as he turned around, the five of them disappeared!!
"!!!"
Conan was horrified and stopped thinking about the chess score. He quickly ran a few steps and found the second hint of Ghost Saka.
This is a real endgame. Yu Jiang and the others did not move the chess piece. They should have solved the puzzle and rushed to their destination.
Hey, hey... Is there any mistake? Just leave him, a primary school student, in Ghost Slope like this??
…
Hotel Cupido - the final location of the chess puzzle
Before Yu Jiang entered the door, he seemed to have accidentally dropped something, which rolled and rolled into the grass next to the hotel.
Without squinting his eyes, he walked into the Cupido Hotel calmly.
On the other hand, Kuroda Bingwei glanced at him and quickly looked away.
"Ah, it's Mr. Haneda." The staff at the hotel front desk saw Yu Jiang and said immediately, "We are entrusted by the guest to take you up when you come. But these few..."
"Hello." Akai Shuichi took a step forward, took out his ID and handed it over, "We are a family traveling, please help us check in."
The staff was stunned and hesitated for a long time, but taking this opportunity, Yu Jiang had already entered the elevator with Masumi Sera who was muttering "Let's go up and see the house first."
