A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 51

Conan and the others continued to hunt for treasure. Seeing that their faces were still not very interested, Conan continued to divert everyone's attention.

"What do you think the treasures will be?"

"I think it will be lots and lots of jewels, and then we can go and eat lots and lots of unagi rice." This is Genta.

"Could it be gold, gold left over from the Tokugawa era." This is Mitsuhiko.

"I guess it's probably a magical magic that makes people stay young forever." This is Ayumi.

"Hehehe, very good."

Hearing the beautiful fantasies of several people, Conan's face was speechless. It's impossible to think about it. Well, how could the doctor be so generous, and Ayumi, you think this kind of thing is a bit far away now, and you are still young. It's ridiculous.

... Well, it's not impossible. Isn't that what I look like now, watching them regain their former vivacity and continue to hunt for treasure.

The third target of the treasure map is the five fir trees. The four of them walked along London Bridge, looking around in front of them, trying to find the location of the five fir trees.

……

"Is it okay? I turned around and came back here."

"Don't worry, don't worry, look for it again."

The tall and thin man and the bearded man searched around the forest again, but they still only found the four fir trees. The tall and thin man was very irritable, so he threw the cigarette in his mouth on the ground, opened the treasure map and started looking again seriously. Observe.

"You can't do this. In the forest, a little bit of sparks can cause a catastrophe."

Conan walked into the forest and stomped out the burning cigarette, and reprimanded the two men in front of him seriously. After seeing the treasure map in the hand of the bearded man, his eyes froze slightly. This man's treasure map Why is it the same as ours? Isn't this treasure map really drawn by a doctor?

"Little ghost, what are you looking at?"

Seeing that Conan had been staring at the treasure map in his companion's hand, the tall and thin man scolded loudly, rolled up the treasure map in the bearded man's hand, and pulled the bearded man out of Conan's sight.

"Stingy ghost, isn't it just a treasure map, we also have it, a little bit."

Yuan Tai made a grimace in the direction where the two left, venting his dissatisfaction, and then opened his treasure map in his hand to discuss with his friends about the five fir trees.

"The map shows five fir trees, but why are there only four here? Isn't it here?"

"We're looking for another place."

"This place is the place indicated on the map, Yuantai, step aside, the fifth cedar tree is right under you, but it was cut down, and now it is a tree stump."

Conan pointed to the tree stump under Yuantai's buttocks and explained the origin of the fifth fir, and then judged their location on the treasure map based on the tree stump's annual rings.

"Conan, you are amazing! You know so much."

"Ha ha."

Seeing Ayumi's adoring eyes, Conan's face was full of sweat, and he felt helpless. This is common sense, and there is nothing to be surprised about.

"Then which way should we go, here are five roads divided by fir trees."

"Let me see, the code word written on the map is that the devil's hand crosses the narrow road, and the devil's hand represents the left hand. Now it should be the two roads on the left, and later it says cross the narrow road. That should be The narrowest of the two."

Pointing to one of the roads on the left, Conan and everyone explained the hidden meaning of this code word, and he couldn't help thinking to himself, is this kind of problem really something that can be figured out in a while, seeing how many people have walked into that road Conan hurriedly followed the narrow road.

"Why do they have that picture in their hands? Isn't this picture in that person's personal collection?"

"Whatever, these kids are pretty smart, let's follow and don't let him get ahead."

The tall thin man and the bearded man walked out from the shadow of the woods. Just now they saw that the treasure map in Conan's hand was exactly the same as their own. They hid in the dark and quietly observed Conan and the others. The secret of a fir tree.

……

The next destination is very clear, just walk along the forest road, but the road is not easy to walk, you need to climb a steep slope, Yuantai volunteered to lead the way for everyone this time.

It is said to be a slope, but it is not much different from a vertical one. A hard tree vine hangs from the top of the cliff, and everyone just pulls the tree vine to climb up. This is a big test for a group of children.

Simply put, they are usually very lively, there is no physical problem, and they crawl forward steadily. Yuan Tai is strong and even takes the lead, leaving everyone far behind, looking down at the little friends below with pride, unexpectedly It is a colorful snake climbing down from the top of the cliff along the vines,
When Yuantai turned his head, he just saw the snake had climbed onto his hand. He was startled suddenly, and with a bang, he let go of the vines with both hands and rolled down. Conan and the others behind him were also affected by Yuantai's huge body. Roll down.

The steps of the cliff provided them with a lot of buffering force, otherwise they might lose their lives, and when they fell to the bottom of the cliff, the river reduced the impact a lot.

"Help, I can't swim!"

Mitsuhiko was thumping in the water with a panicked face, Yuantai and the others next to him watched him thumping speechlessly, and didn't want to help him at all.

"I said, can you stop and stand up and try."

Hearing the sound, Mitsuhiko stopped struggling, felt the depth with his body, and stood up slowly. It turned out that the depth of the river was less than half a meter, and he was blinded by all the drama just now.

At this time, on the top of the cliff, the tall and thin man and the bearded man had already climbed up. When they saw Conan fell into the cliff, they sneered. No one would grab the treasure from them now.

Conan struggled to climb from the river to the shore, his clothes were wet, and he felt very uncomfortable even in summer, but the windproof matches he brought were already wet and could not be lit.

"Well, this match can ignite no matter how strong the wind is, but it can't help if it is soaked in water."

"That's not necessarily true"

Conan, our little expert in life, denied it again, picked up the flashlight, disassembled the light-emitting panel and inserted the match into it, raised his arm to the sun, and looked at the match in his hand quietly.

"Can you do this, why do I feel like it doesn't work much?"

Seeing that there was no movement in the match in front of him, Yuan Tai couldn't help asking, he hated waiting like this.

"Just wait and see, it will be fine soon"

As soon as the voice fell, the match head began to emit green smoke, and sparks appeared slowly. Put the match on the pile of dry wood prepared just now, and the sparks began to smoke on the dry wood, forming a small fire.

"Wow, Conan, you are so smart, you can think of such a powerful method."

The expression of admiration appeared on Ayumi's face again, she is definitely Conan's little fan girl.

After all, it was summer, and the weather was still very hot. Using the fire, everyone quickly dried their clothes. Looking at the map in their hands, Yuantai was still the first to ask questions.

"How do we go hunting for treasure now, it's all down below, how do we go up?"

"We can just walk along the river. Look here, as long as we walk to this place, we can reach the next destination."

Pointing to the treasure map in his hands, Conan said the only way they can go at present. After getting the approval of several partners, Conan took the lead to embark on the treasure hunt again.
