Kusakabe is not actually called Kusakabe, nor is he born with such a face.
A year ago, his name was Ryota Kimura, and he was Miss Saito's boyfriend.
He underwent plastic surgery and changed his name to avenge Saito Miko who was forced to commit suicide on the anniversary of Miss Saito Miko's death.
Ryota Kimura originally had a well-thought-out crime plan, but he happened to run into Sakurako Sengen's attempted murder, and excitedly stepped forward to make up the knife.
In this way, Mr. Saito can be killed, and all the crimes can be blamed on Qianjian Yingzi, killing two birds with one stone!
Especially after Qianjian Yingzi thought she had killed someone and pleaded guilty to murder, Kimura Ryota was even more delighted.
However, his joyful emotions did not last for a minute, and he fell to the bottom suddenly.
He was exposed.
Also despised.
Kimura Ryota's eyes were red with anger and collapsed: "It's all because of that old man! It's him who killed Miko! He also killed me! He deserves to die!"
"Slap!" Mrs. Saito slapped Ryota Kimura's face heavily.
Mrs. Saito's usually gentle face showed a look of anger and hatred: "I have never seen such a selfish person like you! You keep saying that you want to avenge Miko, don't you know the root of Miko's pain, depression and suicide? Is more than half of it on you? Why don't you kill yourself too?"
"I, you...you are talking nonsense!" Kimura Ryota was furious, with the anger of being exposed on his face, he rushed towards Mrs. Saito.
Naoichiro Saito stood in front of Mrs. Saito, and angrily pushed Ryota Kimura to the ground: "Killed Miko's father in the name of avenging Miko...you scum! You owe our Saito family two lives !"
Kimura Ryota lay on the ground in embarrassment, screaming and struggling to get up.
"Be honest!" Kaoru Karasuma stepped on Ryota Kimura's ass, gave him an elbow, twisted his hands, and handcuffed him with a "click".
Not knowing whether it was because of the severe beating or the handcuffs, Ryota Kimura finally calmed down and leaned against the corner of the wall without moving.
Kaoru Karasuma called again to the Metropolitan Police Department and explained the situation here.
The Metropolitan Police Department said, please control the situation and protect the scene. Once the storm stops, someone will be sent immediately.
Kaoru Karasuma hung up the phone and exhaled lightly.
The case is finally over.
Kaoru Karasuma directed everyone to withdraw from the third floor, and took a last look at Mr. Saito's body and the death message left on the ground.
She lowered her eyes slightly, her long black eyelashes concealing the deep thought in her eyes.
40 years ago, her grandfather's father's grandfather Renye Karasuma was suspected of killing many scholars in the Twilight Annex.
Seventeen years ago, the death message left at the scene of the Haneda Koji case also pointed to Karasuma.
As a public security policeman, Kaoru Karasuma naturally has zero tolerance for such vile homicides.
However, it is really difficult to investigate these two cases clearly.
Renye Karasuma was a centenarian 40 years ago. After more than 40 years, she has been turned into a handful of yellow sand and buried in the soil. She can't dig her ancestors out of the grave to accept the trial of the law?
And from a legal point of view, 40 years has already passed the legal prosecution period.
Let’s talk about the case of Koji Haneda 17 years ago—a classic unsolved case that was introduced into the police academy curriculum. There are still many doubts waiting to be solved, but the surname of "Karasuma" is just combined from the letters on the broken makeup mirror, which cannot serve as any evidence. However, Kaoru Karasuma can't guarantee that his guess is correct, it can only be used as a breakthrough.
Kaoru Karasuma carefully recalled the Karasuma family who might have been involved in the case of Koji Haneda 17 years ago.
After thinking for a minute, she gave up.
There is no way, the population expansion of the Karasuma family is too great.
Let's start with her grandfather's father's grandfather Renye Karasuma.
Karasuma Renye gave birth to five legitimate children, two illegitimate children, five sons and two daughters.
Count Karasuma Renye as the first generation.
Not counting illegitimate children and married daughters.
The first generation, Renye Karasuma.
The second generation, four people.
The third generation, 13 people.
The fourth generation, 31 people.
The fifth generation, 73 people.
Then came Karasuma Kaoru's generation. In their sixth generation, there are still many girls who have not been married, a total of 190 nine people!
It is true that children beget grandchildren and grandchildren beget sons, sons beget grandchildren, grandchildren beget sons, and sons and grandchildren are endless.
There are so many people in the Karasuma family, and every year at the family banquet, they drag the family and lead the family together, overwhelming a large group of people. After 23 years, Karasuma still can't recognize all the relatives.
Karasuma touched his chin.
Based on the existing information, it is more difficult to start with the Karasuma family, and it is still necessary to return to the Koji Haneda case itself.
17 years ago, would a third party other than the murderer and the victim break into the scene like today's case?
"what!"
Just then, a mutation arose.
Yoshida Ayumi screamed and was held hostage by Osami Zhushan.
Osami Zhushan removed the mask of humility on his face, revealing a ferocious and greedy face: "Money and treasure are the only treasures that can activate my brain cells. Miss Karasuma, if you don't want anything to happen to this child, Hand over your treasures."
Kaoru Karasuma: "...?"
This time, what the hell is going on?
Kaoru Karasuma showed half-moon eyes speechlessly, and slowly stepped forward: "Is my police presence so low?"
"Don't come here!" Dashang Zhushan suddenly sternly said, "Stand there and don't move, otherwise, don't blame the bullet for not having eyes!"
Osami Zhushan suddenly took out a pistol and pointed it at Karasuma Kaoru.
Seeing the black muzzle of the gun, Kaoru Karasuma couldn't help but dignified.
How can he have a gun?
Amuro Toshin stood in front of Karasuma Kaoru, staring at the pistol in Osami Shanzhu's hand, his always sunny voice became serious.
"This is a Swiss Sig P230 pistol that has been simply modified. In the bank robbery two weeks ago, three prisoners held modified P230 pistols. After Mr. Maori's famous reasoning, the police have arrested two of them. Prisoner, and is about to track down the whereabouts of the last prisoner."
"Mr. Dashang is probably the last prisoner, right? Mr. Dashang, you are well-known in the detective world, but you are not satisfied with the reward you get for solving crimes. You opened a logistics company, but it is a pity that the management is not good. Bankrupt, so you decided to put all your eggs in one basket and use your criminal experience accumulated in various cases to rob the bank. Unexpectedly, Mr. Maori saw through your trick. Seeing that the police are about to investigate you, so you decided to take the stolen money He fled overseas and wanted to take the treasures of the Twilight Annex with him before leaving Japan."
"Am I right, Mr. Dashang Zhushan?"
Dashang Zhu Shan, who was punctured, gritted his teeth: "As expected of Kogoro Mori's big disciple, he really has a way. But even if you know it, so what? The road up and down the mountain is blocked, even if the police are willing to use it Helicopters, even in such thunderstorm weather, can’t reach the Twilight Villa, God help me!”
"Ahahaha!" As he spoke, Osami Zhushan became proud again, and put the muzzle of the gun on Ayumi's temple, "Officer Karasuma, if you don't want to see this little girl get shot in the head by me If so, quickly hand over your family’s treasures!”
Frightened, Ayumi uttered a loud sob and passed out.
"Ayumi!" Several children of the Detective Boys anxiously called Ayumi's name.
Kaoru Karasuma pursed her lips: "I don't know where the treasure is, and there is no treasure here. If there is any treasure, it is impossible for my parents to sell the Twilight Villa."
"You don't know? It's okay." Dashang Zhushan snorted coldly, threw out a piece of letter paper, and a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This is the secret code about the treasure left by Miss Qianjian's grandfather. Since you have both policemen, detectives and a top student from Dongdu University, I believe you will be able to find the treasure within two hours, right?"
The three people who were named looked at each other, and exchanged a glance calmly.
Dashang Zhushan has a gun in his hand, and there are so many children beside him, all of them are his potential hostage candidates.So it's fine if they don't make a move. Once they make a move, they must not give Dashang Zhushan any chance or room to resist.
The best time to control Dashang Zhushan is obviously the moment when the treasure is found. ——Dashang Zhushan's attention will be completely diverted by the treasure.
All in all, since Dashang Zhushan gave them two hours to find the treasure first, if they couldn't find it, they would pretend to create a "treasure".
Kaoru Karasuma slowly bent down to pick up the letter paper on the ground: "We will do our best, please ensure the safety of the hostages."
Kaoru Karasuma spread out the letter paper and took a look: "This is... a dancing villain?"
The dancing villain is a case in the Sherlock Holmes collection, and each dancing villain corresponds to an English letter.
Amuro Toru and Okiya Subaru moved closer to Karasuma Kaoru.
Edogawa Conan also sneaked over, standing on tiptoe to look.
Karasuma moved the letter paper down.
"The dancing villains painted here are different from those in "Sherlock Holmes." As a Sherlock Holmes fan, Conan Edogawa could tell at a glance, "This is a re-enactment based on the basic principles of dancing villains. password."
Several people found a table and sat down, picked up a pen and paper and began to crack the code.
First, some codes are deciphered according to the different probabilities of English letters.The letters with the highest probability of appearing in English are E, T, A, O, I, N, S, H, R, D, L. First, according to this rule, we can preliminarily judge the English letters represented by some dancing villains.
Then replace the densely packed villains on the letter according to the matched villains and letters, and finally associate the corresponding English letters according to the known quotation words to fill in the gaps.
About two 10 minutes later.
A few people translated all the dancing villains into English words.
Karasuma glanced at the full text.
It feels like the whole article is nonsense literature with no practical significance.
Is there another code hidden in the code?
Karasuma has a headache.
She's the worst at it.
Fortunately, there are Edogawa Conan and the others.
Several people quickly deduced the final answer.
[The Great Clock in the Living Room, 1324. 】
"The clock in the living room on the first floor seems to be broken?" Kaoru Karasuma remembered that the clock had stopped moving.
Amuro said: "Let's go down and have a look first, maybe we are asked to turn the clock to 13:24."
A group of people moved to the first floor.
Kaoru Karasuma has been paying attention to Ogami Zhushan, but it is a pity that the other party firmly imprisoned Ayumi in front of him, holding the gun very vigilantly, and did not give others any chance to attack and counterattack.
Pity.
Karasuma turned his head and looked at the big clock hanging high on the wall.
Edogawa Conan has already climbed onto the fireplace thanks to his small body and nimbleness.
He turned the hour and minute hands to 24:[-].
The crowd held their breath.
One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed...
Nothing happened.
Dashang Zhushan narrowed his eyes: "It seems that you are nothing more than that. If this is the case, don't blame me..."
"Wait!" Dashang Zhushan was interrupted by Kaoru Karasuma before finishing his threatening words, "Could it be 24:[-]?"
Kaoru Karasuma remembered that she also found a line of codes at the bottom of the piano in the study before, "a night traveler in a hurry" or something, is it implying that the time is actually at night?
"That's right, the number indicating the hour hand and the number indicating the minute hand should be reversed!" Edogawa Conan was reminded by Kaoru Karasuma by mistake, and suddenly understood, "So that symbol means inversion! "
Conan Edogawa turned the time on the clock back to 12:13.
"Click-click-click-click."
The sound of the rusty mechanism gradually starting to rotate came from the wall.
Dashang Zhushan's eyes gradually glowed with a frenzied light.
"Oh!"
The clock face fell off the wall.
Dashang Zhushan rushed over with a stride.
At this moment, he had nothing to worry about, only the unknown treasure in his eyes.
good chance!
Kaoru Karasuma kicked his legs on the ground, leaped into the air, and kicked Dashang Zhushan on the wrist when he was distracted.
The pistol in Oshang Zhushan's hand was kicked away, hit the wall and cracked.
"Ow!"
Dashang Zhushan only had time to let out a cry of pain, and suddenly realized that he was empty.
Ayumi was protected in her arms by Okiya Subaru who was flying over at a high speed.
"Well!"
Immediately afterwards, Toru Amuro clasped his shoulders tightly by the smiling Toru Amuro, and then was punched in the softest abdomen by the other party.
"what!"
At the same time, a black and white football spinning at high speed hit Dashang Shanzhu's face with a bang.
Dashang Shanzhu's face was red and swollen visible to the naked eye, and with a pair of eyes that had lost their highlight, he lay on his back on the ground dizzy with stars in his eyes.
Edogawa Conan still maintains a aggressive posture of kicking the ball, and there is a faint flash of lightning on the foot-strengthening shoes with full horsepower.
Karasuma only carried a pair of handcuffs with him.
Osami Zhushan had to be tied up with a rope first, and was thrown in a corner with another prisoner, Ryota Kimura.
Ryota Kimura looked at Ogami Zhushan who was swollen into a pig's head, swallowed silently, and moved his butt that was still aching after being kicked by Kaoru Karasuma.
These people are really cruel.
Should he be happy?Fortunately, it was Mrs. Saito, an ordinary person who slapped him in the face, otherwise the prosthesis placed on his nose after plastic surgery would definitely be crooked.
"Treasure... Treasure..."
Even at this point, after Dashang Zhushan regained his composure, he was still thinking about the treasure in the Twilight Pavilion.
Kaoru Karasuma looked at the wall where the clock face fell off, and it didn't look like there was any secret passage or secret room. He lowered his head and picked up the clock on the ground again, his eyes flashed by the faintly exposed golden light.
Kaoru Karasuma thoughtfully turned the weight of the clock, and pulled off the shell of a clock face, revealing the gold inside.
She couldn't help showing her speechless half-moon eyes: "What, the rumored treasure is a clock made of gold. I knew that our Karasuma family is very smart, how could it be possible to put the precious treasure Hand over to others?"
Such a large piece of gold is still worth a fortune, but it is less than a fraction of the price of the Twilight Annex.
Dashang Zhushan was dumbfounded.
what?
The treasure he has been thinking about...is this? !
For a clock made of mere gold, he took risks and put himself in it...
Dashang Zhushan was devastated, his ambitious and greedy eyes completely lost their luster.
Kaoru Karasuma put the gold clock aside, took out his phone and checked the weather forecast.The storm won't stop until tomorrow morning.
In other words, they will at least spend one night in the Twilight Pavilion.
Kaoru Karasuma said: "It's getting late, the police probably won't arrive until tomorrow morning, everyone go to rest first, I'll watch them here."
"Officer Karasuma, I'll take turns changing shifts with you. You keep watch for the first half of the night, and I'll watch the second half of the night." Toru Amuro suggested with a smile.
Okiya Subaru also said that he could help with the night watch.
As for the children of the Boy Detective Team, after witnessing one "good show" after another, and seeing that the two prisoners were subdued, they had long since cast their previous fears to the sky, and they were all very excited and unwilling to go. Sleeping, but also want to start the castle adventure.
Kaoru Karasuma got a headache from their quarrel, only Toru Amuro was left behind, and everyone else rushed back to the room on the second floor.
Several children walked up the stairs step by step.
Two fake children, Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai, followed behind and pushed them forward. Rumi Wakasa did not forget her identity as an elementary school teacher, and stood on the stairs coaxing the group of children.
"what?"
Edogawa Conan paused.
He moved his foot away, only to realize that he had stepped on a shogi.
Edogawa Conan picked up the shogi puzzledly: "Why is there a shogi dropped here?"
Rumi Wakasa saw the familiar word "Kakuko" on the shogi, her pupils suddenly dilated, and she reached out and snatched the shogi without thinking.
Holding the slightly cool shogi in his palm, Wakasa Rumi realized something was wrong.
This is not her shogi.
The shogi she took from Koji Haneda 17 years ago is still in her pants pocket.
Rumi Wakasa's glasses flashed, and then she showed a blank expression: "It's so strange, why is there a shogi here?"
Edogawa Conan looked suspiciously at Rumi Wakasa's slightly blunt performance.
Kaoru Karasuma felt the small bag he was carrying with him belatedly, and found that the zipper of the bag had been opened at some point.
She thought about it, when she kicked Dashang Zhushan's pistol away, she seemed to catch something.
It was probably at that time that the zipper of her bag opened, and the shogi in the bag flew out.
——In order to verify that the indentation on Haneda Koji's palm was caused by shogi, she ordered a set of the same shogi, and then held the chess piece in her hand for 10 minutes.Sure enough, the indentation on the palm of his hand was almost exactly the same as the one on Koji Haneda's palm.
Kaoru Karasuma walked over: "Sorry, I lost this shogi."
Wakasa Rumi's gaze narrowed slightly.
Conan Edogawa wondered, "Officer Karasuma, why do you carry this chess piece with you?"
Kaoru Karasuma said vaguely: "I was investigating a case recently, which gave me some inspiration."
case, shogi...
The case of Haneda Koji instantly came to Edogawa Conan's mind.
Is it?
Edogawa Conan's eyes narrowed, and he found an excuse to come to Okiya Subaru's room.
"Mr. Okiya, do you think Officer Karasuma is investigating the case of Koji Haneda 17 years ago?"
"It's possible." Okiya Subaru stretched out his hand and pressed it on his neck, recovering Akai Shuuichi's magnetically hoarse voice, "What happened today gave me some inspiration. Could there be someone on the vanity mirror that was broken at the scene?" Are you playing alphabet games with us?"
"Haihara told me before that the vanity mirror was originally her mother's." Edogawa Conan said seriously, "The complete text on it is 'PUTONMASCARA'."
"After removing the four letters P, T, O, and N..."
Akai Hideichi unexpectedly thought of the two key words Rum and Asaka, and gradually opened his eyes with dark green pupils.
Before Edogawa Conan's mind suddenly flashed in Miyano Akemi's hand before he died, and told him that "the people in the organization always like to wear dark clothes like crows"; flashed the e-mail from Belmode to the organization BOSS The button sound is the lyrics of "Little Crow Why Are You Crying" in the nursery rhyme "Seven Children"; at the end, Edogawa Conan's sight is fixed on the crow logo on the fireplace in the room - that is the family crest of the Karasuma family.
Conan Edogawa's lenses reflect white light.
After the air was silent for two seconds, Edogawa Conan and Akai Shuichi looked at each other tacitly, and slowly spoke the answer they had in mind.
"ASACARUM."
"CARASUMA."
Akai Shuichi: "...?"
Edogawa Conan: "...?"
A year ago, his name was Ryota Kimura, and he was Miss Saito's boyfriend.
He underwent plastic surgery and changed his name to avenge Saito Miko who was forced to commit suicide on the anniversary of Miss Saito Miko's death.
Ryota Kimura originally had a well-thought-out crime plan, but he happened to run into Sakurako Sengen's attempted murder, and excitedly stepped forward to make up the knife.
In this way, Mr. Saito can be killed, and all the crimes can be blamed on Qianjian Yingzi, killing two birds with one stone!
Especially after Qianjian Yingzi thought she had killed someone and pleaded guilty to murder, Kimura Ryota was even more delighted.
However, his joyful emotions did not last for a minute, and he fell to the bottom suddenly.
He was exposed.
Also despised.
Kimura Ryota's eyes were red with anger and collapsed: "It's all because of that old man! It's him who killed Miko! He also killed me! He deserves to die!"
"Slap!" Mrs. Saito slapped Ryota Kimura's face heavily.
Mrs. Saito's usually gentle face showed a look of anger and hatred: "I have never seen such a selfish person like you! You keep saying that you want to avenge Miko, don't you know the root of Miko's pain, depression and suicide? Is more than half of it on you? Why don't you kill yourself too?"
"I, you...you are talking nonsense!" Kimura Ryota was furious, with the anger of being exposed on his face, he rushed towards Mrs. Saito.
Naoichiro Saito stood in front of Mrs. Saito, and angrily pushed Ryota Kimura to the ground: "Killed Miko's father in the name of avenging Miko...you scum! You owe our Saito family two lives !"
Kimura Ryota lay on the ground in embarrassment, screaming and struggling to get up.
"Be honest!" Kaoru Karasuma stepped on Ryota Kimura's ass, gave him an elbow, twisted his hands, and handcuffed him with a "click".
Not knowing whether it was because of the severe beating or the handcuffs, Ryota Kimura finally calmed down and leaned against the corner of the wall without moving.
Kaoru Karasuma called again to the Metropolitan Police Department and explained the situation here.
The Metropolitan Police Department said, please control the situation and protect the scene. Once the storm stops, someone will be sent immediately.
Kaoru Karasuma hung up the phone and exhaled lightly.
The case is finally over.
Kaoru Karasuma directed everyone to withdraw from the third floor, and took a last look at Mr. Saito's body and the death message left on the ground.

The second generation, four people.
The third generation, 13 people.
The fourth generation, 31 people.
The fifth generation, 73 people.
Then came Karasuma Kaoru's generation. In their sixth generation, there are still many girls who have not been married, a total of 190 nine people!
It is true that children beget grandchildren and grandchildren beget sons, sons beget grandchildren, grandchildren beget sons, and sons and grandchildren are endless.
There are so many people in the Karasuma family, and every year at the family banquet, they drag the family and lead the family together, overwhelming a large group of people. After 23 years, Karasuma still can't recognize all the relatives.

Osami Zhushan suddenly took out a pistol and pointed it at Karasuma Kaoru.

"Ayumi!" Several children of the Detective Boys anxiously called Ayumi's name.
Kaoru Karasuma pursed her lips: "I don't know where the treasure is, and there is no treasure here. If there is any treasure, it is impossible for my parents to sell the Twilight Villa."
"You don't know? It's okay." Dashang Zhushan snorted coldly, threw out a piece of letter paper, and a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This is the secret code about the treasure left by Miss Qianjian's grandfather.

[The Great Clock in the Living Room, 1324. 】
"The clock in the living room on the first floor seems to be broken?" Kaoru Karasuma remembered that the clock had stopped moving.
Amuro said: "Let's go down and have a look first, maybe we are asked to turn the clock to 13:24."
A group of people moved to the first floor.
Kaoru Karasuma has been paying attention to Ogami Zhushan, but it is a pity that the other party firmly imprisoned Ayumi in front of him, holding the gun very vigilantly, and did not give others any chance to attack and counterattack.
Pity.
Karasuma turned his head and looked at the big clock hanging high on the wall.
Edogawa Conan has already climbed onto the fireplace thanks to his small body and nimbleness.
He turned the hour and minute hands to 24:[-].

"Wait!" Dashang Zhushan was interrupted by Kaoru Karasuma before finishing his threatening words, "Could it be 24:[-]?"
Kaoru Karasuma remembered that she also found a line of codes at the bottom of the piano in the study before, "a night traveler in a hurry" or something, is it implying that the time is actually at night?
"That's right, the number indicating the hour hand and the number indicating the minute hand should be reversed!" Edogawa Conan was reminded by Kaoru Karasuma by mistake, and suddenly understood, "So that symbol means inversion! "
Conan Edogawa turned the time on the clock back to 12:13.
"Click-click-click-click."
The sound of the rusty mechanism gradually starting to rotate came from the wall.
Dashang Zhushan's eyes gradually glowed with a frenzied light.
"Oh!"
The clock face fell off the wall.
Dashang Zhushan rushed over with a stride.
At this moment, he had nothing to worry about, only the unknown treasure in his eyes.
good chance!
Kaoru Karasuma kicked his legs on the ground, leaped into the air, and kicked Dashang Zhushan on the wrist when he was distracted.
The pistol in Oshang Zhushan's hand was kicked away, hit the wall and cracked.
"Ow!"
Dashang Zhushan only had time to let out a cry of pain, and suddenly realized that he was empty.
Ayumi was protected in her arms by Okiya Subaru who was flying over at a high speed.
"Well!"
Immediately afterwards, Toru Amuro clasped his shoulders tightly by the smiling Toru Amuro, and then was punched in the softest abdomen by the other party.
"what!"
At the same time, a black and white football spinning at high speed hit Dashang Shanzhu's face with a bang.
Dashang Shanzhu's face was red and swollen visible to the naked eye, and with a pair of eyes that had lost their highlight, he lay on his back on the ground dizzy with stars in his eyes.
Edogawa Conan still maintains a aggressive posture of kicking the ball, and there is a faint flash of lightning on the foot-strengthening shoes with full horsepower.
Karasuma only carried a pair of handcuffs with him.
Osami Zhushan had to be tied up with a rope first, and was thrown in a corner with another prisoner, Ryota Kimura.
Ryota Kimura looked at Ogami Zhushan who was swollen into a pig's head, swallowed silently, and moved his butt that was still aching after being kicked by Kaoru Karasuma.
These people are really cruel.
Should he be happy?Fortunately, it was Mrs. Saito, an ordinary person who slapped him in the face, otherwise the prosthesis placed on his nose after plastic surgery would definitely be crooked.
"Treasure... Treasure..."
Even at this point, after Dashang Zhushan regained his composure, he was still thinking about the treasure in the Twilight Pavilion.
Kaoru Karasuma looked at the wall where the clock face fell off, and it didn't look like there was any secret passage or secret room. He lowered his head and picked up the clock on the ground again, his eyes flashed by the faintly exposed golden light.
Kaoru Karasuma thoughtfully turned the weight of the clock, and pulled off the shell of a clock face, revealing the gold inside.
She couldn't help showing her speechless half-moon eyes: "What, the rumored treasure is a clock made of gold. I knew that our Karasuma family is very smart, how could it be possible to put the precious treasure Hand over to others?"
Such a large piece of gold is still worth a fortune, but it is less than a fraction of the price of the Twilight Annex.
Dashang Zhushan was dumbfounded.
what?
The treasure he has been thinking about...is this? !
For a clock made of mere gold, he took risks and put himself in it...
Dashang Zhushan was devastated, his ambitious and greedy eyes completely lost their luster.
Kaoru Karasuma put the gold clock aside, took out his phone and checked the weather forecast.The storm won't stop until tomorrow morning.
In other words, they will at least spend one night in the Twilight Pavilion.
Kaoru Karasuma said: "It's getting late, the police probably won't arrive until tomorrow morning, everyone go to rest first, I'll watch them here."
"Officer Karasuma, I'll take turns changing shifts with you. You keep watch for the first half of the night, and I'll watch the second half of the night." Toru Amuro suggested with a smile.
Okiya Subaru also said that he could help with the night watch.
As for the children of the Boy Detective Team, after witnessing one "good show" after another, and seeing that the two prisoners were subdued, they had long since cast their previous fears to the sky, and they were all very excited and unwilling to go. Sleeping, but also want to start the castle adventure.
Kaoru Karasuma got a headache from their quarrel, only Toru Amuro was left behind, and everyone else rushed back to the room on the second floor.
Several children walked up the stairs step by step.
Two fake children, Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai, followed behind and pushed them forward. Rumi Wakasa did not forget her identity as an elementary school teacher, and stood on the stairs coaxing the group of children.
"what?"
Edogawa Conan paused.
He moved his foot away, only to realize that he had stepped on a shogi.
Edogawa Conan picked up the shogi puzzledly: "Why is there a shogi dropped here?"
Rumi Wakasa saw the familiar word "Kakuko" on the shogi, her pupils suddenly dilated, and she reached out and snatched the shogi without thinking.
Holding the slightly cool shogi in his palm, Wakasa Rumi realized something was wrong.
This is not her shogi.
The shogi she took from Koji Haneda 17 years ago is still in her pants pocket.
Rumi Wakasa's glasses flashed, and then she showed a blank expression: "It's so strange, why is there a shogi here?"
Edogawa Conan looked suspiciously at Rumi Wakasa's slightly blunt performance.
Kaoru Karasuma felt the small bag he was carrying with him belatedly, and found that the zipper of the bag had been opened at some point.
She thought about it, when she kicked Dashang Zhushan's pistol away, she seemed to catch something.
It was probably at that time that the zipper of her bag opened, and the shogi in the bag flew out.
——In order to verify that the indentation on Haneda Koji's palm was caused by shogi, she ordered a set of the same shogi, and then held the chess piece in her hand for 10 minutes.Sure enough, the indentation on the palm of his hand was almost exactly the same as the one on Koji Haneda's palm.
Kaoru Karasuma walked over: "Sorry, I lost this shogi."
Wakasa Rumi's gaze narrowed slightly.
Conan Edogawa wondered, "Officer Karasuma, why do you carry this chess piece with you?"
Kaoru Karasuma said vaguely: "I was investigating a case recently, which gave me some inspiration."
case, shogi...
The case of Haneda Koji instantly came to Edogawa Conan's mind.
Is it?
Edogawa Conan's eyes narrowed, and he found an excuse to come to Okiya Subaru's room.
"Mr. Okiya, do you think Officer Karasuma is investigating the case of Koji Haneda 17 years ago?"
"It's possible." Okiya Subaru stretched out his hand and pressed it on his neck, recovering Akai Shuuichi's magnetically hoarse voice, "What happened today gave me some inspiration. Could there be someone on the vanity mirror that was broken at the scene?" Are you playing alphabet games with us?"
"Haihara told me before that the vanity mirror was originally her mother's." Edogawa Conan said seriously, "The complete text on it is 'PUTONMASCARA'."
"After removing the four letters P, T, O, and N..."
Akai Hideichi unexpectedly thought of the two key words Rum and Asaka, and gradually opened his eyes with dark green pupils.
Before Edogawa Conan's mind suddenly flashed in Miyano Akemi's hand before he died, and told him that "the people in the organization always like to wear dark clothes like crows"; flashed the e-mail from Belmode to the organization BOSS The button sound is the lyrics of "Little Crow Why Are You Crying" in the nursery rhyme "Seven Children"; at the end, Edogawa Conan's sight is fixed on the crow logo on the fireplace in the room - that is the family crest of the Karasuma family.
Conan Edogawa's lenses reflect white light.
After the air was silent for two seconds, Edogawa Conan and Akai Shuichi looked at each other tacitly, and slowly spoke the answer they had in mind.
"ASACARUM."
"CARASUMA."
Akai Shuichi: "...?"
Edogawa Conan: "...?"
