Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin
Chapter 236 Riddle (5)
Imaguchi Kokoro and the others followed the treasure map around and around, and finally returned to the starting point - the shopping mall near the library.
"Conan, is this where the treasure is?" Ayumi and the other three looked up at the tall building in front of them, all a little confused.
They had imagined many treasure hiding places in their minds before, such as caves in mountains, uninhabited cabins, marked trees and stones, etc. The worst it could be was a warehouse. How could it be in a shopping mall?
"Yes, it's right here." Conan confirmed it with the treasure map and nodded.
"But, how can we find such a big shopping mall?" Mitsuhiko looked at Conan in embarrassment.
"There should be clues in the things we found before." Haihara Ai said as he took out the things he found before from his pocket, a key and two silver coins.
"I remember there are numbers on the coins. Can you see what's written on them?" Imaguchi reminded me.
They didn't pay much attention to these two coins before, but now they heard from Imaguchi that there might be clues on them.
"Let me see, 1990 and B1." Mitsuhiko and the others observed the two coins carefully. Sure enough, they saw 1990 on one silver coin and B1 on the other. Obviously these two coins were specially made, but they I just didn't notice it before.
"B1 should refer to the underground layer, and 1990 most likely represents the place where the treasure is located." Haibara Ai analyzed.
"1990 should be the number of the container." Conan shook the key in his hand.
Imaguchi looked at the key carefully and then suddenly remembered that there were many storage containers on the basement floor of the mall.
When used by guests, they usually just print a receipt and then use the note to open the door.
But there is another way to use the container, that is, if someone uses it for a long time, you can order a special container. This kind of long-term container only uses a key, but they usually don't use this kind of container.
Because even if there is something that really needs to be stored for a long time, it will not be stored underground in a shopping mall. Finding a bank or something else is more reliable than this.
Therefore, those who usually use underground storage cabinets in shopping malls are usually shopping mall staff, store owners, etc., who use the containers as warehouses to store smaller but more important things.
Although Imaguchi knew something about it when he was looking for a job before, it had been such a long time and it was not an important matter, so he didn't think of it.
"Now that we know everything, let's go in quickly!" Ayumi and the others looked at Conan and the others expectantly, and they couldn't wait any longer.
"Okay." Conan nodded.
The light on the underground floor of the shopping mall is very pale, and it is neatly filled with large and small containers, giving people a sense of terror.
Ayumi and the others were holding on to Conan, Imaguchi Kokoro's clothes and hiding their bodies behind them, feeling a little scared.
"Conan, why does this place look so similar..." Ayumi hesitated, wanting to say something but not daring to speak.
"Maybe it's because of the light, to save some electricity!" Conan silently picked up what she wanted to say in his mind, why did it look so like a morgue.
But he still comforted me by saying that although the light here is pale, surrounded by neat iron boxes, and the temperature is a bit low, this is still a normal place, not a place that would give people nightmares.
Haibara Ai looked at the iron boxes around him and was not afraid at first, but after hearing Yoshida Ayumi's unfinished words, her face became a little pale and she clutched the corner of Imaguchi's heart.
"Actually, this is quite normal. There are usually very few people here, so the light bulbs are relatively cheap to save money. And because there are so few people here and it is underground, it is inevitably a bit cold." Imaguchi said Looking at Ayumi and the others who were a little scared, they spoke to comfort them.
"Very few people come here?" Conan looked at Imaguchi in surprise. Since it is a storage container, how come so few people come here?
"It is true that very few people come here. In fact, there are several of these containers on almost every floor of the mall. Most people are used to storing things in the mall. Even if there is no room, they will take it by themselves and won't bother to go underground. Store things.
Not many people even know that there are storage containers underground. Another point is that it is still a long way from here to the upstairs of the mall, and it is quite troublesome to go back and forth. Rather than waste this time, it is better to hold it yourself. "
In fact, Imaguchi didn't know these things before. She only found out about them later when she was working part-time at a cafe in a shopping mall.
Also because relatively few people know about it, although the containers on the basement floor are said to be accessible to everyone, they are actually mostly dedicated storage rooms for mall employees.
As Conan walked forward, he lowered his head and pondered. Very few people knew that there were containers on the underground floor of the mall. So who would store treasures on the underground floor of the mall and even rent a container for a long time.
"1987, 1988, 1989, and 1990 were found!" Looking at the numbers on the container, Bumi and the others counted them one by one, and finally found the container numbered 1990.
"This container is so big!" Yuantai looked at the container in front of him that was taller than himself and felt very surprised. How many things should be stored in such a large container!
"Great, we finally found the treasure, open it and take a look!"
"Xiao Ai, the key..."
Ayumi and the others were about to urge Haihara Ai to quickly use the key to open the container in front of them, but suddenly there was no sound, and instead there was panic on their faces.
A very strong man stood at the intersection where they came from, approaching them with malicious intent, holding a rope in his hand.
Just when they were about to run back, they found a man and a woman appearing behind them, also holding sticks and other things in their hands.
Ayumi wanted to scream, but the opponent rushed over and covered her mouth. The same fate happened to Conan and the others. Looking at the sharp knife in the opponent's hand, no one dared to act rashly.
Imago received special care from them. His hands were tied with ropes, his mouth was also wrapped with tape, and his whole body was abandoned aside.
"Where's the key? Get it quickly!" The woman watched as Hui Yuan Ai stretched out her hand forcefully, grabbed the small bag Hai Yuan Ai was wearing, and dug out the key from inside.
"Great, I finally found this thing. Boss, it's true, I actually hid the thing here!" Seeing the stronger man touching the cabinet in front of him excitedly, he was so excited.
"Get out of the way! No one will care about you sleeping on it for a while." The woman took the key and pushed the man lying on the container away. The man was not angry, but watched happily as the woman unlocked the door.
But the woman who was originally smiling suddenly turned pale when she looked at the container in front of her.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the woman had not moved, the thin man beside asked in confusion.
"Is it rust? Let me take a look!" Some strong men were a little anxious, and they quickly came over, their faces became ugly, and they cursed in a low voice.
"Fuck, this lock is a password lock, and it needs a password!"
The two men and one woman looked at each other. Not to mention the password, they found the key and the location of the treasure through the children in front of them.
Now that there is no password and the container cannot be opened, they have no choice but to question Conan and the others.
They had also observed along the way that the kid with glasses in front of them was the leader among the children and the smartest one among them. He almost solved the entire treasure map by himself.
"You little brat with glasses, what's the password to the box? Tell me quickly!" The woman pulled Edogawa Conan up and stared at him.
"What password? We only found keys and coins, but nothing else. You have been following us, so you should already know it." Conan said pretending to be scared. When he first got the map, he I realized that this treasure map was a little too clever and didn't look like something for children.
It was very likely that it was a real treasure map, and there might be big secrets in it, so he quietly searched for the treasures on the treasure map, and also wanted to see what was hidden in the treasure map.
The robber's stolen money, a secret hidden for many years, or a treasure map in a private collection?
Those locations later confirmed his conjecture, but he didn't expect that this group of people would actually follow them. It seemed that they had been targeted early in the morning, otherwise they wouldn't have taken the risk as soon as they arrived at the cabinet. out.
Conan pretended that a real child was trembling and crying in fear, while the woman who caught him threw him down with disgust on her face.
"so annoying!"
"Let's follow them. They really didn't get anything else. Could it be that they didn't find everything?" Some strong men looked like thin men, with irritation on their faces.
"No, they should have found them all. Even if there are some errors, they won't be big.
The boss hid it half a year ago, and the general structure of the rice flower has not changed much, so there should be nothing wrong with it. "The man reached out and took the treasure map in Conan's hand. He opened it and looked at it. He recalled the route they took and found that there was no difference. Then he shook his head.
The two men and one woman threw the keys to the ground angrily and kicked the container hard with their feet.
"Damn it, I'm about to open it, but this happened!"
"Third brother, is there nothing we can do?" A man and a woman looked at the thin man at the same time. It was obvious that he was the leader among the three.
"No, the boss put the things here. If they were so easy to get, they would have been stolen long ago." The thin man shook his head, squatted down and took everything Conan and the others found along the way in front of him carefully. watching.
Ayumi and the others huddled together, a little too scared to speak at all. Conan pretended to lower his head, but actually looked at the two men and one woman in front of him through the obstruction of several people, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.
Haiyuan Ai glanced at Conan, who shook his head slightly at her.
The strength of the two of them alone was not enough to subdue the three people in front of him, and he only had one anesthetic needle left. Although he had a belt, the shoes he was wearing were just ordinary shoes with no ability to increase the force.
"If there is really no other way, we can only find a way to destroy the lock in front of us. Anyway, there is only one combination lock left. The combination locks in shopping malls should not be that easy to use." The strong man looked impatiently Looking at the container in front of him, if the other two people hadn't stopped him, he would have just smashed the container in front of him.
"Do you think I don't want to destroy the lock? But the lock above is a high-end product that the boss found. Without any ability, it can't be opened at all." The woman waved her hand. It would be fine if it was just an ordinary lock.
The locks on the containers in the shopping mall are almost accurate when picked, but if they dare to pick the lock in front of them, the lock will probably explode in the next second.
It doesn't matter if the lock explodes, the key is that the contents inside are likely to be damaged as well, and by then it will be too late for them to cry.
"Hey, do you brats know the password?" The strong man yelled at Conan and the others impatiently, with a fierce expression on his face, scaring Ayumi and the others into tears.
"I don't know. We have just arrived, and we don't even know that this lock has a password!" Mitsuhiko plucked up the courage to whisper.
"Tsk~"
"What should we do with these brats in front of us? How about killing them directly, and then we can go find the others?" The woman looked at the thin man.
"No, we have been squatting for so long, and only less than twenty people have found the treasure map. Among so many people, only one of them has found it, and the rest of them all gave up halfway."
"Really, does it have to be these little brats? They don't look that smart!" The woman picked up the chins of several people and looked them up and down, her eyes full of suspicion.
"But they did find this place and unlocked the treasure map. Take everyone with them and let them find it again according to the treasure map." The leading man finally made a decision, put away everything, and pointed Refers to Conan and the others.
"What about this woman?" Imaguchi was being sized up by them at this moment, but Imaguchi was very calm. The blade on his fingertips was about to cut off the rope on his hand. As long as they wanted to do something bad to him, then his hand The sharp blade cut their throats in the next second.
"No, don't hurt Sister Imaguchi!"
"Imaguchi sister is innocent!"
"If you hurt Sister Imaguchi, then we won't help you."
"stop!"
"Let go of Imaguchi sister!"
The young detective team shouted again and again. Fortunately, there was no one on the underground floor of the shopping mall, otherwise they might have been discovered long ago.
The kidnappers were also upset by their noise and took out a knife to threaten them.
"Shut up, all of you, or I'll kill you right now!" the strong man yelled roughly, looking very irritable.
"Just stay here. He has provided many clues along the way. He is also responsible for their finding this place." The thin man said, and then pointed at Conan and Haibara Ai, "Except for the two of them, The remaining children will also stay here, fourth child, you stay and monitor them."
"Okay." The strong man was a little dissatisfied, but he still nodded.
"I know you two are smarter, but you'd better be honest, otherwise, your friends may have to pay for your actions." The man warned Conan while sorting out the things around him.
Soon, he and the woman were disguised as a couple again, while Conan and the others were disguised as their children and were taken out by the two of them.
The sturdy man sat aside impatiently, taking out a cigarette and smoking. Not far behind him, Imaguchi Shin and Ayumi were tied up with ropes.
Imaguchi quietly made gestures with Ayumi and the others, asking the three of them to stand in front of him.
Ayumi and the others understood what Imaguchi said and twisted their bodies to block Imaguchi's back from them.
Although it didn't block much, it was better than nothing. Behind their backs, Imaguchi secretly used the blade on the ring to cut the rope around his wrist, and then took out the rope that he had casually put in the bag before. medicine.
If he remembered correctly, special medicines in organizations are usually made with some special and dangerous ingredients, such as acids and alkalis, or one of the basic ingredients of gunpowder.
Then the two types of drugs that Ah Zhen gave him probably contained these ingredients. Even if they did not have these ingredients, their medicinal effects were enough for the man in front of him to drink a pot.
Imaguchi quietly crushed the pills into powder with something, then poured it into the drink Gentai bought before. After shaking it gently, the powder was completely dissolved in the water.
A "bang" sound instantly attracted the man's attention. Seeing the three children huddled next to Imaguchi's heart, the man looked at them contemptuously, and then picked up the drink bottle that made the sound.
"What are you going to do? Are you still thinking of escaping?"
"No, I just dropped the water I bought earlier. Can you help me get it?" Imaguchi said in his heart, looking embarrassed.
"You guys still want to drink water like this."
Hearing the man's sarcastic voice, Imaguchi was not angry, he just said.
"If you don't want to, just put the water back. I'll buy a bottle for tens of yen!"
The man threw the water aside angrily. The water rolled on the ground and quickly stopped against the cabinet.
Imagochi and the others seemed to be frightened by the man's behavior. They huddled together and did not dare to speak at all, and they did not continue to ask for water.
Time passed little by little. Although it was relatively cool inside the warehouse, it was also rather stuffy because there were no windows open for ventilation.
The man who had been waiting there for the second brother and the others to come back was a little impatient, and his mouth was a little thirsty, especially when he saw the bottle of water next to him out of the corner of his eye.
Finally, the man couldn't help it anymore. He stood up and rummaged through the backpacks of these people, but there was no water in the backpacks.
The man dropped the bag on the ground, looked at the water poured next to the cabinet, then picked it up and looked at it carefully.
Then his expression suddenly changed, and he handed the water to Imaguchi Koshin and asked him to take a sip. Just as Imaguchi Koshin was about to take a sip, the other party dodged over again and handed the water to Mitsuhiko for him to drink.
Mitsuhiko was a little scared at this time. He saw with his own eyes that Sister Imagouchin poured something into the water. There must be something wrong with the water, but he didn't know what was added to it.
Is there any danger to his life? When Mitsuhiko looked at Imaguchi's heart from the corner of his eye, he saw Imaguchi's face was calm and nodded gently. Mitsuhiko breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like something was added to the water. There shouldn't be any danger.
So he obeyed the kidnappers and took a sip of the water in the bottle. Not to mention, the water tasted quite delicious.
"Bring it here!" Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Mitsuhiko's appearance after drinking it, the man felt relieved and after a while he drank the entire bottle of water.
After finishing the drink, the other party leaned against the cabinet and looked at Imaguchi and the others, because he was too bored, and he didn't know whether he was not afraid of them saying it out or was confident that they would never say it out again.
The other party talked about their experiences. It turned out that there were four of them. They grew up and played together. Later, the four of them became robbers together and kidnapped many people.
But because they have a bottom line, as long as they have enough money, they will never break up the ransom, so their reputation is not bad. Unless there are special circumstances, they can usually get the ransom.
Therefore, the four of them have made a lot of money over the years, because they have always acted together, and the boss has no gambling and prostitution habits, so they handed most of the money to the boss for safekeeping, and the other three of them One takes part of the money to squander it.
In this way, even if they squander, they can always save some money in the end. And this is the fact. After ten years, everyone has accumulated a considerable amount of wealth.
Originally, during the last operation, the boss told them that they would stop after finishing this operation, and then the four of them would enjoy the spicy food.
From now on, it was time to enjoy life, but who knew it would go wrong in the end. The kidnapped family called the police, and even a lot of police were dispatched.
The four of them had been so successful in kidnapping in the previous years that they didn't notice it for a while. By the time they reacted, they were already in danger and were about to be surrounded by the police.
Originally, when this kind of thing happened, they had no choice but to go to jail. However, in order to save them, the boss actually lit up the gas tank, and the boss and the hostages were all blown up by the fire.
The boss didn't leave anything behind. All he left behind was this treasure map and a letter. He said that the treasure on this treasure map was the money they had accumulated over the years.
Because things are coming to an end, the boss wants to make a joke with a few people. He draws the location of the treasure on the treasure map, hoping that a few people can search for it. If anyone can find it, he will give him a gift.
Everything was fine at first, but who would have thought that the boss suddenly disappeared without leaving any words, and only the boss knew where their money was. If there was any way to know, it was only this treasure map. .
It's a pity that the three of them can explode, fight, play with guns, and program, but none of them has the ability to unlock this treasure map, let alone find the treasure inside.
