[Detective Conan] If the Yuanshan family gave birth to a boy

15.

It seems that it was because of a solid sleep. When Toyama Rin regained consciousness, although he felt collapsed because he was still in the dark, it was not as strong as before.

He turned on his phone and checked the time, it was five in the morning.More than 30 hours had passed since his last meal.The gurgling stomach has given up resistance and no longer spasms, but the feeling of thirst is getting more and more obvious. It seems that a fire is lit in the throat. I stick out the tip of my tongue to lick my lips. What I touch is dry and hard. Skin.

No matter how unwilling he was, he still had to go on.

Rin Toyama sighed, leaning on the wall to stand up and adjust the dim light to illuminate his way. After walking for about 10 minutes, he finally caught a trace of another sound.

footsteps. ——The footsteps of normal people walking.The voice was not very far away, it seemed to be on the other side of this wall.

Instinctively moving the flashlight in the direction of the sound, the boy was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a large pipe vent at the corner of the wall, which could be passed by crawling on his stomach at his height.So Toyama Rin immediately lowered his body, crawled towards the direction of the sound, and finally saw a light after a few minutes. ——This is a space the size of an elementary school classroom, arranged like a warehouse.There is a neat row of wooden shelves against the wall, on which are some paint canisters and unnamed tools.In the center is an iron box that was welded to the ground, and a white emergency light was placed on the box, illuminating the two men here.

The person with his back to the iron box was seen by Toyama Rin. He was one of the two craftsmen that the Himeji family called for help. His name was very common and because there were so few opportunities to get along with him, he couldn't think of it for a while. Woke up.And he also knew the man whose hands and feet were bound, he was the old man's apprentice.

How is this going?why are they here

Rin Toyama froze for a moment, and then began to thank himself for not calling for help the second he heard the footsteps. ——The two people in front of him haven't noticed him hiding in the vent.

"If you tell me the password, I'll let you go."

"I don't know what password!"

"I tell you, there is nothing in the old man's fortune that is worth more than the violin that Stradivari gave to the king.—I have been persuading him to sell it, but he just won't... , my dear junior, I was the apprentice of Himeji Chang Zongjing 30 years ago, until he thought that I might steal his things and drove me away." The craftsman kicked the apprentice, and slammed He stepped on the opponent's hand and crushed it like he was stamping out a cigarette butt, "I have already killed that hapless detective upstairs, don't you want to follow in his footsteps? - I told you very clearly, Tell me the password, after the piano is sold, I can give you [-]% of the money, why do you persist like this? Ridiculous loyalty to that old man?!"

The scream made Toyama Rin frown. ——He should go out to save people, but now is obviously not the time.The man had a gun, and the chances of him dragging a wounded leg across the room without being spotted were extremely low.

If the man could leave for a while...he could take the opportunity to get out and untie the apprentice's rope, and then the two of them would crawl along here to the other side, and then try to get out.

While observing the situation in front of him, Rin Toyama calculated his success rate, and a few minutes later, something that surprised him happened——

His phone vibrated.

Rin Toyama had been working hard to get through the ventilation duct just now, and he didn't even turn on the flashlight, so he didn't pay attention to whether the signal of his mobile phone was restored.

I got a phone call at this time, and I really can't tell whether it was luck or misfortune.No matter how fast he hung up, the man would have heard it.

"Who's there! Come out!" The man looked at the vent very vigilantly, and raised his gun.

Rin Toyama was trapped in this small space and had no way to hide, so he simply stepped back, dialed Hattori Heiji, turned on the speakerphone, turned down the volume of the handset, turned the screen on the ground, and shouted A few words "don't shoot", and then slowly climbed out.

"Oh? It turned out to be the little follower of the high school detective." The man twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a disdainful smile, and then changed his face: "How did you find the agency! Tell me!"

"I bumped into it by accident. ——I'm helpless too." Toyama Rin said honestly, raising his hands.He stood in front of the vent to block the man's view and tried not to let him see the phone behind him.

But the other party didn't seem to believe it, so he changed the subject and asked how much he had heard.

"You killed that detective, kidnapped Mr. Apprentice, and wanted to bring him to find the Stradivari violin left by Himeji Nagamune."

Basically all the key points were heard.

The man sneered, pulled the safety of the gun, and pulled the trigger.

"I know the password."

The finger that was planning to pull the trigger suddenly loosened.

"I can tell you, but you have to let him go first." Toyama Rin pointed to the surprised Mr. Apprentice.

The man looked at the high school student in front of him, then at the apprentice who was tied up by him, and suddenly felt a little funny.

"Why do you think I'll let him go? Don't forget that he also knows a lot."

"I won't tell you if you don't let him go. Then the two of us will die here together.——You keep looking at this iron box, trying to get it out but can't get it out."

"There are so many ways to open the chest—"

"But you're too late. —I didn't decipher the code, I just happened to see it."

"Oh? That high school detective?"

"He is the smartest person I know, and he deciphered it last night." Toyama Rin hooked his lips, "Do you want to bet with us? See if Heiji will find it?"

The man looked at him, and the smile on his face deepened again.

"Tell me the password first, and then I'll let him go. ——There's no room for negotiation!"

From his hand holding the gun, it can be seen that this man has no intention of letting him go, but the boy's purpose is not this. ——He just wanted to find an opportunity to get closer.

The black muzzle pointed at Rin Toyama, and he walked to the iron box according to the man's request, and bent down to look at the mechanism lock on the side.

"Okay, come and drive."

Rin Toyama didn't respond.He squatted down in front of the iron box, pretending to move the disc on it earnestly, then turned around and told the man that he blocked the light and couldn't see the pattern clearly.

"Tsk, there's a lot of shit." The man lowered the muzzle of his gun slightly and leaned to the side. This action exposed a flaw in his defense.

Seeing the opportunity, Toyama Rin turned around and jumped up, holding the man's wrist tightly with both hands to prevent him from shooting the gun. At the same time, he raised his right leg and kicked the opponent's neck, his upper body turned violently, and his left leg also hooked up together. Ji Scissor Feet knocked the man who was much taller than him to the ground.

When the other party cried out in pain, Toyama Rin was also blinded by the pain. ——His ankle hurts as if it was cut off by an axe, and he couldn't hold the opponent's neck at all, so Toyama Rin could only raise the man's arm and cut it back, so as to prevent the opponent from discovering his stiff movements.

□□Finally fell to the ground.

The boy immediately freed his hand and smashed the back of the opponent's head with the butt of the gun, causing a brief dizziness. Then he got up and opened the distance between the two of them as much as possible, pointing the gun at the man.

Toyama Ginshiro never taught Toyama Rin how to use a gun. He completely imitated the posture of his father holding the gun in his memory, but he also learned it correctly.

He just did it, but he seemed extremely hesitant about whether he should pull the trigger.

This kid doesn't have enough mental quality. ——Sure enough, a high school student is a high school student.

"Come on, shoot, hit here." The man pointed to his temple clearly, looking not afraid at all. "What are you hesitating about?"

"Don't move!" Rin Toyama yelled.

"That's right, you're sure you haven't pointed a gun at anyone yet, have you?"

"If you dare to attack, I don't mind piercing your hand." Toyama Rin gritted his teeth and choked out these words from his throat.

"You know that there is not much difference between self-defense and assault... You must not have a gun license. At least 16 years old? Even if you are in self-defense, it is inevitable to stay in the interrogation room for a while after shooting and then receive a warning. ?” The man began to move forward slowly.Every time he took a step, the boy on the opposite side took a step back, and the two of them kept a distance of three or four meters, "Have you made up your mind?"

"I--"

In the next second, as some messy footsteps came from the corridor on the right, the brief balance between the two was broken. ——Toyama Rin heard Hattori Heiji's voice, and was overwhelmed with excitement for a moment.

"Heiji!!! I'm here!!!"

Realizing that someone was coming, the man rushed towards Rin Toyama quickly with a "tsk" to snatch his gun back. ——The young man was not able to stand stably, and he fell to the ground directly when he bumped into him. □□Flew out with the opportunity, and I don't know which corner it fell into.

The man's strength was great, and his throat was firmly stuck.

Toyama Rin instinctively pinched the opponent's hand, and he seemed to be able to hear the sound of the air being squeezed out.The discomfort forced the muscles in the throat to pass the two important channels nearby, but they could not contract due to the external force.The sight began to flicker with black shadows with the heartbeat, and the aorta in the neck protested due to blood stagnation——

When Hattori Heiji walked through the corridor, he saw Toyama Rin struggling with his throat stuck. — he felt that he had never been so angry.It was as if some kind of powerful electric current had suddenly struck the heart, and even the blood was boiling.

"Stand still! Or I'll kill this—"

Heiji's speed was as fast as a gust of wind, and before the opponent could react, a steel rod that was not short fell down and hit him. —The hapless prisoner froze for a second, then lost consciousness.

【Dare to take Toyama Rin as a hostage, I think you are crazy. 】

"I can't bear to be beaten at all." Hattori Heiji, who threw the steel rod aside, let out a "hum", kicked the man aside, and helped his friend up.

————————————————————————————————————————

"stern!"

Someone was slapping his face, the voice was familiar, but he didn't bother to think about who it was for a while.Rin Toyama frowned a little irritably, and pushed that hand away from his face.

"Rin! Wake up! It's me!"

Ping times?

Consciousness suddenly returned.

Rin Toyama opened his eyes and found that he was still in this dark underground warehouse.At this time, there were many swaying figures in this place. It seemed that everyone in the castle had come, and even a sharp-mouthed police officer had handcuffed the murderer who had lost consciousness at some point.Hattori Heiji was squatting next to him, holding a small bottle of water in his hand.

Rin Toyama licked his lips reflexively after seeing the liquid inside, it was still wet, not as dry as before.

Seeing that his friend finally regained consciousness, Hattori Heiji let out a long sigh, and even his eyes softened a lot.As a result, such a gentle expression collapsed within two seconds. Heiji boy finally remembered the person he had been looking for all day in fear, and angrily grabbed his collar and started yelling——

"Why are you running around!!! If you find a clue, won't you tell me first?! Why did you come here alone!!! If something happens to you, how can I explain to Uncle Yinshiro!!!"

"...I didn't come here on purpose!!!" Toyama Rin was stunned for a moment because the person in front of him suddenly changed his face, and then he yelled back without showing any weakness, but his throat tightened, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

Seeing his friend coughing and tears coming out, Hattori Heiji had to reach out to help pat Rin Toyama on the back.

"Slow down!—what's the matter?"

"I fell from above."

ah?fell?

Hattori Heiji looked up at the top and caught only the solid gray ceiling, not any big holes through which a person could pass.

Rin Toyama raised his hand and knocked on the back of the opponent's head, and whispered his unlucky experience to his friend.The big detective folded his arms with a cold face, and believed it after being suspicious for a long time.

"...Anyway, let me carry you up first. How is your leg? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Wait, at least let me take a look at what's inside." Toyama Rin waved his hand, pointing to the iron box in the room.

Seeing that he woke up, the apprentice Mr. standing there immediately ran over to thank him. After all, Rin Toyama spent a lot of effort to hold the prisoner.

The boy shook his head to signal the other party not to care, and then asked him if he had opened the box.

"No. I can't open it." Mr. Apprentice emphasized very seriously, "Don't you also know the password? The teacher said that the thing should be left to the first person to solve the puzzle."

"What are you talking about, I don't know at all." Toyama Rin smiled, "I just lied to him, otherwise I would have been shot and killed by him when I suddenly appeared here."

Mr. Apprentice looked a little confused. He thought about how Rin Toyama was very confident in facing the gun not long ago, and felt that the other party's acting skills were really excellent.

"Then...then—what about Hattori-kun?"

Rin Toyama grabbed Hattori Heiji's wrist where no one else could see.

"Of course I unlocked it." Heiji glanced at his friend who was winking at him, and changed the subject, "But you were the first to find it, I think what the old man means is that only you know the password, and the first The successor is the one who arrives at this place. Even if I know the password, it’s useless, after all, I’m so late.—Are you right, Ms. Keiko?”

Liang Sheng's mother sighed, then nodded.

Hattori Heiji raised his chin at Rin Toyama, feeling that the other party's small movements were completely unnecessary.

What the hell is this guy worried about?Of course he knew the true meaning of the will left by the old man, so he definitely wouldn't show up at this time.

Mr. Apprentice seemed a little hesitant: "Then... shall I go and drive?"

"Open it." The most prestigious eldest daughter in the whole family spoke.

Surprisingly, it wasn't just the Stradivari violin that was kept in the iron box. ——Standing shoulder to shoulder with it is a red viola.

Another craftsman stepped forward to check the two violins, and confirmed that the one on the left was indeed made by Stradivari, and when he turned around to pick up the viola, his hands trembled.

"This is impossible."

The label on this viola is Himeji, but its color, lacquer, and timbre seem to be made by Stradivari himself, even better than this violin.

Rin Toyama remembers what Mr. Apprentice said when he was in the studio: The reason why the Stradivari violin has always been so famous, except that it is an antique with centuries of experience, is that modern craftsmen try hard to copy it. Does not come out of the lacquer art and fineness.The greatest wish of Himeji Nagamunekei in this life is to reproduce Stradivari's craftsmanship and create the best viola. ——I didn't expect that he really did it in the end.

It turned out that this was the last piano that the old man made before his death.

Stradivari - Himeji - red violin.

"So Mr. Himeji's most precious thing is actually the craftsmanship he has developed, not just these two pianos." Hattori Heiji turned his hat, looking confident.

"But...there is nothing else in this box, where will the teacher put his notes?"

"...It's impossible, my reasoning can't be wrong." Hattori Heiji was stunned for a second, and then he ran to the box to look for it himself. Several people touched the corners together, but there was nothing.

"I think you are right, he did stay." After a few seconds of silence in the room, Toyama Rin suddenly said, "In the resonance box of that violin."

When another craftsman plucked the strings just now, he felt that the sound of the violin was a bit flawed.Although it is an unusually small difference, it can destroy the overall beauty like a small piece of grit trapped in a diamond.Not all Stradivari violins are perfect, but this deviation is almost negligible.Now that it's proven authentic, the only explanation is that someone put something in the violin's sound box.

People dubiously took a flashlight along the f-hole, and they did find an object glued to the bottom, which seemed to be a black SD memory card.

"How did you hear it?!" The few people present, except for those who were not very familiar with music, even the craftsman who came down with Hattori Heiji and the apprentice of the old man did not recognize it. ——Such a subtle difference was discovered by a high school student.

"This... probably is what you call 'absolute pitch'." Hattori Heiji grinned suddenly, raised his hand and pressed his palm on Toyama Rin's head, "This guy can't only know aikido .”
