A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 53 Helpless Choice
There are too few code words on the signs, and a simple word alone can't make people think of other clues. Several little detectives scratched their heads and thought hard, without direction.

"Do you think the words on the wooden sign will be hidden, just like when we usually play games and smear the pencil on the paper with the hidden words, the handwriting will appear."

"It shouldn't be so easy. Besides, we went out to explore today and didn't bring a pencil."

"Maybe Ayumi is right. We can try it. Not having a pencil doesn't mean there is no way. Let me teach you another way."

Conan's fingers brushed over the sign, and the touch from his hand was uneven. He liked Synmi's idea very much. He picked up the water cup he was carrying and poured it on the sign, then picked up the sand on the ground to pave the sign, and then poured the sand on the sign. On one side, a few lines of code words gradually appeared on the wooden sign.

"Conan, you are really smart, you can think of a way every time.

Ayumi admired Conan even more, excitedly pulled Conan's arm and shook it, and the light of admiration shone in his eyes. Conan was not happy, but resentful. At this time, he knew that I was amazing. When he pushed me out to block the pot, he was not at all Don't be softhearted.

"The pointer of the sun moves towards the east in the same direction as time"

The meaning of the code words on the sign is easy to understand. Simply put, it is enough to keep walking on the road to the east. The difficulty is that I can’t tell the direction now. Seeing the compass on his wrist constantly turning in circles, Mitsuhiko waved his hand helplessly.

But who made Conan a detective? There are indeed many ghosts. Using the relationship between the watch and the sun to easily determine the location of the East, Ayumi looked at Conan with even more excited eyes, almost unable to extricate herself.

"Hey, brat, I think Ayumi likes you quite a bit, should you accept her?"

...You are afraid that I will have a good life, right? If Xiaolan finds out about this in the future, will you still be able to live?
Slapped off Noah's mischievous big hand, gave him a hard look, strode forward, and left the team angrily, can't you hide from me if you can't provoke me?

In fact, it is really impossible to hide. Noah has long legs, and chasing Conan's short legs is not an easy task, so he continues to stimulate Conan.

"I'm serious, why don't you go after that, just keep it like this, and stay with Ayumi with peace of mind. I don't think Ayumi will be worse than Xiaolan when she grows up. As for Xiaolan, you can rest assured to leave it to her." me."

……

Conan covered his ears helplessly, not listening to Noah's words, he was afraid he couldn't help it.

Not long after the few people left, the tall thin man and the bearded man sneered at Conan and the others leaving. These people really helped them a lot. If they were to decipher the code by themselves, it might not take a long time.

Noah turned his head and looked back with a feeling. Seeing the empty back, he was puzzled. Could it be that his sense was wrong, why did he feel like he was being spied on just now.

The sky was getting dark gradually, and Conan and his expedition had lasted a whole day, and they had long lost the enthusiasm of the morning. They just felt tired and didn't want to walk.

"Conan, how long will it take to get there, I'm so tired, I want to eat."

"We'll be there soon. After holding on for a while, the map says that we can reach the last destination through the bushes in front of us, which is where the treasure is."

Hearing that they were about to reach their destination, the little detectives seemed to be full of strength, and their steps became firm again. Noah laughed while watching from behind. The children might not have noticed, but he saw the distance from the end on the map. The distance to a destination is still very long, and Conan is quite a brat.

From time to time, some small insects flew out of the bushes. Ayumi is a girl who is afraid of these insects. It is understandable. Yuan Taichang is so big that he is also afraid. It is really a waste of food. It has been an hour since he stopped and stopped. , a few friends found the problem.

"Conan, are you lying to us? Why haven't you arrived after walking for so long?"

"It's here."

Conan pushed aside the bushes in front of him, looked at the five stone pillars in front of him, pointed to the map and told them that the last place was the stone pillar in front of him.

"Walk five steps from the junction of Tianzhishui and Tianzhizhu"

The last code word given on the map is puzzling. The Pillars of Heaven can still be understood. The five big pillars in front of me can be called, but where is the water of the sky? There are tall grass half a person in front of us. Can't see anything.

"There's a bunch of connected tree stumps there. See if there's anything interesting about it."

Noah is much taller than a few children, and he can easily see where a pile of wooden piles are placed not far from the pillars. Conan hurriedly ran to observe in the direction Noah gave after hearing this.

This is……

Looking at the shape of the wooden stakes in front of him, Conan's eyes became brighter. The shape of the tree stumps in front of him looked like the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper is also called the Ursa Major constellation. , those pillars should be the constellation of Cassiopeia, and the junction of the two is Polaris.

Conan walked to the junction of the wooden pile and the pillar, looked at the stone engraved with the letter P in front of him, his expression moved slightly, and his guess was right, the place where the stone started five steps forward should be the destination of this expedition, Conan quickly called everyone over to explain the meaning of the treasure map.

The four members of the Boy Detective Team set off from the stone hand in hand, and walked five steps in a uniform manner. The ground under their feet began to shake. Noah hurried forward and pulled the children back. These children are really brave. In this case, I don't know how to take the initiative to retreat.

After the ground shook for a while, a dark hole appeared. The hole was connected to this section of stairs. I don’t know where it leads. Several children saw that victory was in front of them, so they walked down the stairs. Noah didn’t want to stop it stop.

These kids don’t know what fear is, and Conan, how old are you, how can you be like them? It’s nothing, you just owe an inspection, Noah decided to go back and make a good deal with Xiaolan , let Conan increase his memory.

The stairs are very short, there are only about [-] floors. Noah took a few steps to reach the end. Conan and the others were holding a flashlight to observe the two boxes in front of them. In the space in front of them, except for the two boxes in front of them, nothing else.

Gently opened the box in front of them, the light of the box shone on everyone's faces, they exclaimed, the box was actually full of jewels and diamonds.

"How is this possible? The doctor certainly didn't hide it. He doesn't have that much money."

Noah's thoughts were the same as Conan's. The treasure map was definitely not drawn by the doctor himself, and it was unknown who gave it to him. It was such a huge windfall.

"Don't move, or you will die!"

A cold voice suddenly came from behind, and several people turned around quickly. Two men with pistols came down from the entrance of the cave, and the light of the flashlight shone on each other's faces. Strange man.

"Thank you so much for helping us find the jewelry, otherwise we don't know when we will find it."

The thin and tall man showed a wild smile. They are destined to get rich today. A young man and a group of children in front of him are unarmed. How could they resist them with pistols.

"As a thank you gift, I'll let you die quickly, so you won't feel any pain!" The tall and thin man pulled the trigger in his hand, and when he saw the wooden sword in Noah's hand, he became afraid and changed.

"not good!"

Noah and Conan were shocked at the same time. They didn't expect these two to be so decisive, without any ink marks. Seeing the bullet rushing out of the gun, Noah felt helpless, knowing that it was no good to meet this kid, what the hell? pity.

A breeze blew past, and Conan only felt a flash in front of his eyes. Noah had already appeared beside the two tall and thin men, and the wooden sword in his hand swiped across the opponent's wrist twice, blood flowed profusely, and the gun in his hand fell. On the ground, clutching his wrists and howling, Noah punched the opponent's temple with two punches, and fainted on the ground.

Of course Noah didn't dare to use all his strength, otherwise the two would have been killed directly, and it would be too troublesome to deal with.

"Brother Noah is amazing."

"Brother Noah, can you teach me how to learn swordsmanship?"

Seeing the adoring gazes of the three children surrounding him, Noah patted their heads with a wry smile. This time, he made a mistake and blamed Conan.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Conan, and found that he was squatting on the ground studying the injuries of the two people. He walked up to Conan and punched him on the top of the head. Conan felt a little dizzy and fell to the ground staggeringly. The face is unknown, so I looked at Noah...how come there are several Noahs.

"What to look at, I'm at a loss, you know?"
