Takagi came back quickly, and under his leadership, all the criminals in the camp came to this small lake and fished out the bodies from the bottom of the lake.
Looking at the corpse in front of them, the faces of all the criminals present became serious.
Tang Ze had already put on white gloves at this moment and began to examine the body.
The deceased was a middle-aged man, wearing a brown vest with a wrinkled white shirt underneath, and the stubble on his face made him look a bit slovenly.
After checking the pocket on his vest, Tangze got the other party's basic information from his driver's license.
Tamai Terunao, forty-two years old, had only a notebook in his pocket.
Judging from the strangulation marks on his neck, he should have been strangled to death by the prisoners and then thrown into the lake.
The water temperature of this lake is about 20 degrees. Judging from the reaction of the body, the time of death should be this morning.
"In order to cover the body and prevent it from floating up, all the stone lanterns were placed on top of the body..."
After listening to Karasawa's preliminary judgment, Takagi looked at the corpse and judged: "But what is the motive..."
"I'm afraid it's really just for the treasure..."
As Conan spoke, he squatted on the opponent's right ankle and took out a stone from his rolled-up trouser leg.
The stone is comma-shaped and looks like half of the Tai Chi Yin and Yang Pisces diagram. It is obviously a piece of Magatama, with the word "Yan" engraved on its surface.
"Could this be a treasure?" Several little ones couldn't help but look at the stone with curiosity.
"No, the value of this small antique made of stone is not very high." Tangze, who has an appreciation for antiques, immediately judged after taking a look at the stone.
"But the other party does seem to be here for the treasure."
Sato Miwako, who was on the side, looked through the only notebook that the other party had and said: "This contains detailed information on various treasures scattered throughout the neon country, and there are also maps he drew on it."
"Treasure hunter?"
After hearing what Miwako Sato said, Genta looked excited and asked quickly: "Is this true?"
"It should be right." Miwako Sato nodded and said, "After all, he even recorded the treasure hunt process very clearly."
"So there really is a treasure!?" Mitsuhiko shouted excitedly, but then he seemed to remember something and he and Ayumi looked at each other, and then calmed down.
Seeing Tang Ze nodded with satisfaction, it was obvious that the three little ones had listened to his words and were not so blinded by the treasure that they ignored the danger behind it.
This is a good change. No matter whether it is the Three Little Ones or Conan, as long as there is a change, he believes that his efforts will definitely be rewarded in the future.
"Anyway, let's contact the Metropolitan Police Department first." Takagi said, taking out his mobile phone and saying: "Although we have enough people, we don't have forensic personnel after all."
"Don't think about it, this is outside the circle." Tang Ze shook his head and said: "If you want to make a call, you can only go back to the camp.
And now I’m afraid the suspect is still in this mansion.”
"Then what should we do now? Let's give the order to Tang Ze." After hearing Tang Ze's words, Takagi and other criminals looked at Tang Ze and waited for the other party's order.
Here, Tang Ze has the highest police rank, and he is a criminal himself. Naturally, obeying the other party's orders is the wisest choice at the moment.
"Let's check the notebook again to see if there is any information about this mansion, and then make the next decision."
As Karasawa spoke, he looked at Sato Miwako, who saw this and handed the note to Karasawa in a tacit understanding.
After that, Tangze quickly found the other party's records about this treasure hunt on the last few pages of his notes.
"I have found a reliable helper to help me with this treasure hunt. I will definitely be able to defeat that despicable thief."
When they read this, the faces of the criminals present all froze, as if they were all thinking of the same character.
"It seems that Kaitou Kidd has also come to participate in this treasure hunt." Karasawa flipped through his notebook to confirm that there was no content before closing it with a smile.
"Then what do we do now?"
Miwako Sato looked at Karasawa and said, "Do you want to go in?"
"Go in? Let's forget it."
Karasawa looked at the mansion behind him and said: "Since Kaito Kidd is here, it means that this treasure is real. Obviously, this treasure is not easy to get. It would be bad to rush in and cause casualties."
"Did you see anything, Tang Ze Criminal?" After hearing Tang Ze's words, the third child couldn't help but asked curiously: "Have you already deciphered the code on this lantern?"
"Well, that's about right."
Tang Ze said this and read out the Chinese characters carved inside the stone lantern.
"The Point of the King of Benevolence is between the sun disk and a short distance away. The place where the elders gather and is extremely prosperous, the Stone of the King of Benevolence is there.
You who are not afraid of the wrath of the benevolent king, hold the stone larger than your fist in the palm of your hand, and recognize the unchanging principles that will last forever.
——Misui Kichiemon"
As Tang Ze read out the words, everyone around him looked at Tang Ze in confusion.
"Uh... I'm sorry I forgot that you didn't understand." Seeing the confused faces of everyone present, Tang Ze couldn't help but slap his forehead.
After not seeing his mother tongue for so long, Tangze couldn't help but feel a little familiar. When he saw these ancient texts, he couldn't help but recite them.
However, Karasawa's subsequent apology had a strong Versailles feel.
Can't help but feel that instead of calming down everyone's mood, they had a sense of being looked down upon by a top student and a scumbag, which made everyone present feel strange.
"Okay, let's talk about Sansui Kichiemon."
Karasawa did not notice this, but continued to educate everyone about the life of Sansui Kichiemon.
Sansui Kichiemon was an agency puppet master at the end of the shogunate, and it was said that he was also the financial supporter behind the Sabaku clan ronin at that time.
The other party was very famous as a puppet master at the time. It was said that he could even automatically serve teacups and then take them away automatically after the guests had finished their tea.
It was precisely because of such exquisite mechanism that it was very popular among bureaucrats and businessmen at that time.
It was also by virtue of this exquisite machine puppet technique that Sansui Kichiemon made many connections and eventually became a wealthy man.
"So the treasure this time is the treasure hidden by Kichiemon Sanmizu?"
After listening to Tang Ze's popular science, the three little ones realized that there was really a treasure in the house and couldn't help but become interested and started discussing it one after another.
"No need to guess, the second half of the code has been made very clear."
Karasawa interrupted the discussion of the three little ones and revealed the mystery with a smile: "The treasure hidden by Kichiemon Sansui is a diamond.
And only diamonds will attract Kaitou Kidd.
Don’t forget, that guy is a phantom thief who only steals gems, and usually he won’t take action on other treasures casually.”
