Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 266 Toru Amuro Is A Good Hostage
Goatee always feels that with the wisdom of the leader, the puzzles he set should not be solved so quickly.

Since it is solved so quickly now, the mystery here may actually be like that written in a mystery novel, one link to be solved, and the next link to follow.

In short, if the detective who came to the door was let go at this time, if they couldn't solve the remaining puzzles, wouldn't it be very blind.

Toru Amuro has no other arrangements for today, after all, this is the time for the mysterious trip to Izu in the schedule.He presumed the same for everyone else.

He was about to agree, but suddenly he heard Jiang Xia's suggestion: "It will be dark for more than six hours, it's been a long time. Why don't you try it now."

It feels a bit of a loss to spend a whole day for two groups of ordinary-quality murderous aura.

Half a day is fine.

Conan and Amuro Toru were a little surprised when they heard this, and turned to look at Jiang Xia.

Whether it was the "mirror in the armrest" mentioned by Hui Yuanai at the door, the hole in the wall of the study at this time, or the vanity mirror fixed on the table, it all illustrates one point - this villa The mysterious mechanism in the game is related to "light".

The two detectives have even drawn a simulation picture in their minds—at night, a strong light will shine from the lion title ring at the door. Enter the cuckoo clock and start that mechanism.

Because many mirrors are installed outside the house, this mechanism cannot be activated during the day due to the interference of sunlight... They remembered that Jiang Xia had noticed the mirrors everywhere before the devil in the cuckoo clock poked his head, and put them on They are connected, and it is impossible not to think of it.

Just as she was thinking, Jiang Xia walked to the window and closed the curtains with a swish.

Toru Amuro and Conan looked at his action, startled for a moment, suddenly understood Jiang Xia's meaning, and the corners of their eyes twitched: "You don't know..."

Jiang Xia carefully put the two curtains together.

What used to hang here were ordinary cloth curtains.In recent days, the unlucky granddaughter who inherited the villa felt that someone was peeping, so she replaced the curtains with denser blackout ones.

Now when the curtains are drawn, the room is suddenly dark.

Jiang Xia picked up the bright flashlight on the cabinet, turned it on, and turned the knob to gather the light into a stronger beam.

Instead of going out to find the lion title ring, he walked to the cuckoo clock and observed the mirror fixed on the desk and the hole in the villa wall.

Then calculate the angle and irradiate it.

——The flashy reflection is a photo, and the flashlight is also a photo. If you round it up, it shouldn’t be much different.

Under the light of the flashlight, the cuckoo clock hung quietly on the wall without any movement.

Jiang Xia was not surprised, he raised his hand to beckon, and called Hui Yuanai over, and handed her the flashlight: "Hold it still, keep this angle."

Hui Yuanai was a little puzzled, but according to what Jiang Xia said, he held the flashlight and stood still.

The light shines directly on the cuckoo clock.

The attention of others also focused on it.Jiang Xia took the opportunity to glance at the standing position in the room at this time.Look away.

There is also a reason why Hui Yuanai specially asked Hui Yuanai to help him hold the flashlight.

——If everything goes well, then that jewel-encrusted watch will appear soon.

At that time, the two gangsters are likely to turn against them and snatch the jeweled watch.

The robbers are not good at solving puzzles, and now they are asking for help from others. They are afraid that they will get in the way, so they subconsciously leave Jiang Xia at a distance and stand at the door.

And Hui Yuan Ai is not very interested in solving puzzles, and she is a little far away. Just now, she was closer to the robber.

If she continued to poke there like before, she would probably be honorably promoted as a hostage in a minute.

Don't worry about Conan, he is the most reassuring. He has already stood under the cuckoo clock with great interest, and is waiting to witness the miracle.

In short, after Haibara Ai was summoned, the one closest to the robbers and the most suitable for taking them as hostages was Toru Amuro...

Come on boss.

Jiang Xia silently swung him two pull-up balls in his mind, the one of the same style as Akemi Miyano.

Afterwards, he glanced at the hand of the man with the center split in plaster. When the man realized something was wrong and stared back vigilantly, he withdrew his gaze and looked back at the cuckoo clock on the wall.

He raised his hand to move the minute hand, so that the time continued to fast forward.

According to the "Night" clue provided by the devil triplets, the mechanism in the villa can only be triggered at night.According to the situation here, Jiang Xia feels that the conditions to control this point are nothing more than time and light.

Just now, he closed the anti-peeping blackout curtains of his unlucky granddaughter. The light in the room was already very dark, but he still failed to trigger the cuckoo clock.

So time is probably one of the triggering elements.

And the mechanical cuckoo clock on the wall in front of him does not have the function of automatic network calibration. When it is dialed, it will think it is what time, which is easy to fool.Therefore, Jiang Xia felt that shading + fast forward should be able to meet the trigger requirements.

Of course, there is another situation, that is, the mirrors used for reflection have been made with some precise scientific manipulations. After the light passes through them, the nature will change. Only the special abnormal light can turn on the cuckoo clock and so on. ...

Fortunately, the grandfather who set up the mechanism did not expect someone to solve his delicate riddle so sloppily, and did not leave such a backhand.

If he stays, Jiang Xia can only take down the clock directly...

——When it was more than seven o'clock, the cuckoo clock responded.

The small window on the watch clicked open, and what popped out was no longer a ferocious ghost, but a friendly dove.The time-telling sound from the clock is no longer a sharp and piercing "squeak--" and "squeak--" but a series of pleasant cooing sounds.

The watch studded with precious stones is now slung across the pigeon's body like a ribbon.

Jiang Xia raised her hand to take it off.

The excited voice of the man in the middle came from behind, and he saw the gemstone that was constantly flashing under the flashlight: "My grandfather left me such a big gift, thank you for helping me find it!"

"It is indeed a great gift." Jiang Xia shook the watch in his hand, and said suddenly, "——The stolen goods that the 'Goblin' bandits have not yet recovered, I heard that each one is a treasure with an estimated value of tens of millions. "

The expressions of the two robbers suddenly changed.

Hui Yuanai was also taken aback, holding the flashlight vigilantly.

Toru Amuro had an expression that he had expected for a long time—the Goblin Bandit Bandit was once famous, and the devil that jumped out of the cuckoo clock in the study just now happened to be the same toy that the Goblin Bandit would leave on the scene every time it committed a crime. Again, this is explicit.

Conan thought about it too, but he still couldn't say anything.He could only listen from the side, looking gloomy.

If there is no stranger around, he can open his reasoning, but not now, he must be a first-grade elementary school student honestly... The main reason is that Jiang Xia, the boss, is not easy to fool, and there is always a feeling that he dares to float in front of him. There will be a sense of crisis that the vest will be stripped off in minutes.

In short, the evil organization...
