The Goblin Bandit Group was once a group of thieves who robbed the rich to benefit themselves and the poor at the same time.
Ten years ago, the Goblins disbanded, and the leader Demon took some of the jewelry and the gold basin to wash his hands and built a villa in the suburbs.
It's the building where Jiang Xia and the others are now.
The leader is usually a clockmaker. He has a lot of clocks in the villa, some made by himself and some bought.
He also made part of the jewelry he took away into one of the watches and hid the watch somewhere in the villa.
After the leader's death, the villa was inherited by his granddaughter, Nakamura Cao.
…
Sitting in this villa with a lot of stories, Jiang Xia felt like there was someone above her.
He glanced at the ceiling and knew that his unlucky granddaughter was now locked in the attic.
——The two men with goatee and middle parting who invited them into the house just now came specifically for the leader’s jewelry. In the morning, they broke into the villa and asked Nakamura about the whereabouts of his jewelry, but Nakamura knew nothing about it. The two of them
I had no choice but to lock the leader's granddaughter into the attic and look for it myself, planning to wait until I got the things and then kill her.
After searching for a long time, the two robbers found no jewelry, but found the famous detective who came to the door.
The two people immediately came up with Jiang Xia's idea, planning to pretend to be the owner of the house and ask Jiang Xia to find where the jewelry was hidden.
Of course, there is a risk of being discovered by detectives.
But the man with the goatee and the middle part didn't panic at all. They had guns, and they also had hostages - in addition to Nakamura Cao, the two children who were with Jiang Xia were also very convenient tools that could be used if they were caught.
When the two robbers were thinking about the steps to fall out, Jiang Xia held the teacup handed to him by Goatee and looked at the murderous aura on them.
Just now when they were still in the woods, Jiangxia's ghosts discovered the murderous aura in the villa.
When he knocked on the door, Goatee saw them and became a little more murderous.
Jiang Xia feels that these two people have great potential - now that they have not even mentioned the matter of finding the gem, they have already begun to think of the Shark Man silencing them, so when they really see the gem, wouldn't they be able to move up a level further?
…
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia took advantage of the gesture of taking tea and poked the foggy dog.
The foggy dog is now much smarter than before. It thought for two seconds, suddenly realized and punched the palm of its hand, then passed through the ceiling and disappeared from Jiang Xia's sight.
After a while, it turned back again, bringing news about Miss Nakamura in the attic - she had just been tied up and was still very energetic.
Then there's no rush.
Jiang Xia patiently listened to the two robbers in front of him pretending to be cute and introducing the details.
From the moment Toru Amuro and Conan knocked on the door, they looked thoughtful from time to time and noticed many inconsistencies.
But perhaps the detective's instinct of "don't start solving the case until everything is straightened out" took over. Neither of them questioned the goatee and the middle-parted man face to face. Instead, as the clues increased, they gradually turned their attention to the mystery in the villa.
on the topic.
Jiang Xia watched from the side and silently added a few strokes to the "Detective Habit Observation Notes" in his heart.
Haiyuan Ai was also watching, silently adding a few strokes to the "Jiangxia Habit Observation Notes" in his heart. Anyway, he was idle.
She had just arrived at the doctor's house before, and after a brief chat with Jiang Xia, she thought Jiang Xia was a salty fish who was dedicated on the outside but loved paddling in the heart and just wanted to enjoy the moment.
But now it seems that it's not all like this - on the way home, he suddenly encountered a puzzle and couldn't leave until he solved it. Faced with this kind of trouble, Jiang Xia didn't show any impatience at all, and even felt a little secretly happy...
…It seems like he really likes solving puzzles.
Thinking of this, Haiyuan Ai thought of Dr. A Li again - it happened that the old man liked to come up with some cool puzzles for her to guess every now and then. Why not record these things into a book in the future and give them to Jiang Xia as a gift together with the tonic...
…
…
There are indeed many special places in this villa: almost all the furniture and ornaments have animal elements; the walls and cabinets are filled with clocks, and there is a vertical line in front of the last digit of all electronic watches.
There were cracks in the direction; a circular hole was drilled into the wall of the study room.
After all, it is a villa left by a veteran watchmaker. Among the many anomalies, the most concerning ones are the various clocks - every 11 o'clock, all the watches in the villa will sound alarm clocks at the same time, deafening.
In addition, it is the cuckoo clock in the study.
The cuckoo clock is a special kind of clock. It is usually made in the shape of a small house. Every time the time is struck, a toy bird will pop up in the window of the clock house. The bird will make a series of "cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo" sounds.
It makes a "goo" sound, and then shrinks back. In short, it is a watch with both ornamental and practical value.
But the one in the villa is different - it doesn't chime on the hour, but at noon.
In addition, when telling the time, what pops up from the window is not a cute bird, but three evil ghosts. Each ghost has a letter on its head. From right to left, they are R, N, and L. Ghosts
They also make shrill and horrifying "squeak-" and "squeak-" sounds.
Jiang Xia's reaction to the news was dull. His ghosts heard that there was a ghost in the Cuckoo Clock, but they were all a little interested. They floated to the clock and gathered around to study it.
When the time came, the watch indeed rang, and an extremely ugly devil triplet suddenly appeared from it - completely different from the ghost triplets of Q bomb and Q bomb. The ghosts in the cuckoo clock were in the style of Western realism and looked very strange.
ferocious.
The mermaid was holding her chin, studying the clock in a formal manner, when she was caught off guard by three muscular ghosts and was so shocked that her scales exploded.
After regaining consciousness, she flapped her tail angrily, chased into the outside, and tried to beat the three innocent ghost dolls. Miyano Akemi couldn't hold her back for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to rub them with the murderous spirit that the mermaid had just dropped.
He pulled the ball and swung it twice in the direction of the watch - it was a very team spirit.
Although the devils are a bit ugly, it is undeniable that they contain a lot of information.
Conan and Toru Amuro stared at the Cuckoo Clock, and combined with some of the spoilers given by Jiang Xia before, they understood everything in an instant.
"The clues at 11 o'clock and the animal furniture are the lion's head ring at the door. The clues given by the cuckoo clock are 'Right', 'Light' and 'Night'." Toru Amuro said, "The combination should be 'at night, using
The light shines on the lion's head ring on the right."
Conan also thought about it. But in order to pretend to be a first-grade kid, he could only nod silently: I miss the identity of Kudo Shinichi so much, the evil organization, the evil gin, the evil sap...
The goatee and the middle-parted man looked at each other excitedly when they heard this.
The middle-parted man, who had his hand wrapped in a plaster, moved his hands and started to burn bridges across the river.
The goatee has an extra dimension.
He secretly stopped his companions and greeted the detectives with a smile: "Let's try it together in the evening. My grandfather is very good at making various mechanisms. When it is activated, the scene will be very spectacular - and we can pay the commission fee.
