The three remaining detectives quickly gathered together, looked at each other, and recalled the lively scene at dinner, and sighed inwardly in unison.
They briefly exchanged information, did not dare to take a break, and continued to investigate without stopping. Because according to the three people's guesses, Senjian Fangdai must be hiding somewhere now, using surveillance cameras to observe secretly. They could not stop and must learn more as soon as possible.
clues to try to seize the initiative.
However, no clues were found. However, when they searched the bedroom on the third floor, they opened the cupboard door and were surprised to find someone lying inside.
The three of them took Shiraishi's body out of the cabinet, and through observation and reasoning, they initially believed that this person had been replaced by Kidd.
Shiraishi didn't go to watch them study the main body. Because the Q version assistant seemed to have discovered something else, she struggled to move an arrow out of the screen and secretly encouraged Shiraishi to hunt for treasures.
At first, Shiraishi thought she wanted to turn the mechanism and expose the gold, so he ignored her. The exposed gold was not his, so he might as well bury it first...
But soon, Shiraishi felt something was not right - he remembered turning on the golden mechanism in a room with a clock hanging on it. He had seen that watch when he was wandering around the annex just now.
But now, the arrow held by the Q version assistant obviously does not point in that direction.
Shiraishi pondered for a moment while looking at the light screen. Considering that the Q version assistant was a flat figure when not coming out of the screen, he suspected that the dimensions limited her direction.
So he tried to turn around, but it was not what he expected. When he turned to other angles, the arrow of the Q version assistant actually protruded from the screen, pointing with unusual persistence.
Baishi hesitated for a moment, but decided to go over and take a look at the situation.
The end point of the arrow points to the pond in the center of the courtyard. Treasure hunters may have dug this place before. There is no water in the pond, and the soil is softer than other places. It just rained, and a piece of the inside collapsed.
Shiraishi stood on the dirt floor in the pool and looked at the screen.
The Q version assistant's arrow has been pointing straight down, and the treasure seems to be buried under the feet.
In order to prevent being seen by the detectives in the annex, Shiraishi still maintains the form of a cat.
It summoned the steel hook and dug tentatively. The ground that had just been soaked by rain carried an unpleasant smell of moisture and moss. It froze slightly and looked at the Q version assistant in the light screen again.
The Q-version assistant didn't even look at him, just stared at the ground helplessly.
...To be able to make this money man so focused, is there really something important hidden inside?
Shiraishi took a deep breath, silently recited several times that he could return to his body and reset it with one click, and then silently popped out the steel claw.
While digging all the way down, Shiraishi remembered something and suddenly felt a little confused.
His understanding of the background of the Dusk Annex basically comes from the words narrated by Senjian Yoyo when he faced Conan alone in the original world line.
Assuming that she didn't lie at that time, Karasuma really found a bunch of scholars before he died, and even did not hesitate to use massacre to force those people to find treasures for him... Then what was he planning?
Behaviors with clear goals are generally accompanied by very clear motivations.
Karasuma Renya is a dying rich man who has only a few days to live. Instead of spending all his money to enjoy life and go to the hospital for treatment, he goes crazy looking for treasures in his old house. This operation seems okay at first glance, but in detail
I always feel a little strange when I think about it.
Maybe he had a prodigal offspring and wanted to leave something to his beloved offspring before he died.
But if that's the case, there seems to be no need to be so anxious - killing so many people, if the news is leaked, not only will future generations be scolded, but if the family has a business, it will also have a more intuitive and real impact.
Besides, the treasure will not escape if it is placed here. Unless Karasuma thinks that the descendant is a fool who will never find the treasure after his death, there is no need to be so anxious.
And what if that "descendant" does not exist?
In that way, Karasuma is looking for a treasure for himself.
Shiraishi didn't know the details of the situation back then, but judging from the results, Renya Karasuma became the boss of the organization, which sounded quite satisfying...
While it was thinking, it pulled up a piece of slightly lighter-colored gravel at the bottom of the soil layer, and tapped the steel hook twice on it.
The stone that originally had some gaps cracked and split into two halves, and a blue-gray insect rolled out from inside.
At first it curled up stiffly on the ground, motionless.
Ten seconds later, Shiraishi saw it gradually regain its mobility and slowly wriggle away.
Shiraishi stared at the insect crawling in front of his eyes, then turned to look at the gravel covered with mud, which looked like it had been sleeping here for a long time.
Did Karasuma Renye really not get what he wanted back then?
…
Shiraishi picked up a few pieces of gravel and came back. He also caught the insect and prepared to go home and take it to Hongye for testing.
He originally thought that it wouldn't be long before the detectives would dig out the gold.
But I don’t know whether it was because the house had been cleaned and the detectives lacked necessary information, or because too many people disappeared and there were too few people who could stick together, which caused them to focus more on saving their lives... In short, it has been
When the police arrived, there was no strange rumbling noise coming from the house, and of course the gold was not exposed.
After Shiraishi took the police helicopter back to the city, he rested for a day, made up a transcript, and then left on the pretext of feeling unwell.
Several other detectives told the police their respective reasonings and asked people to come with Senjian Yoyo who was suspected to be the mastermind behind the scenes. However, there was no one in the annex. Instead, Senjian Yoyo was found in the car that exploded by the bridge.
Charred remains.
The fingerprints of Da Shang Zhu Shan were found on the debris left at the scene, and the surveillance equipment in the house also captured an image of him sneaking toward the back door. This was believed to be Da Shang Zhu Shan's hands and feet.
When the detectives heard this, they suddenly remembered that they seemed to have missed a suspect - the owner of the house whom they had forgotten what he looked like and almost forgot that such a person existed.
Initially, they did not suspect the owner of the house, because compared to him, Qianjian Jiandai and Dashang Zhushan were obviously more suspicious.
But now, the two suspicious people are dead, and the owner of the house has never been seen again...
Detectives raised this suspicion with the police.
However, the police officers who went to inquire could not find any problems. When they came back, they looked confused and told the detectives that the owner was considering prosecuting them for illegal trespassing, intentional damage to property, false accusation, defamation, etc.
Remind them to pay attention to relevant news in the near future.
Detectives are rarely charged with this kind of crime, although none of them do it less often.
However, several people stayed there for a period of time, and in the end no one came to sue.
