Chapter 569: The Watchmaker’s Secret Sign

March 24, Tuesday, after ten o'clock in the morning, an old bungalow in the mountainous villa complex of Nishitama Town.

After Ms. Nakamura was untied, she hurried to solve the physical problem, and then came back and thanked Maori while taking the four of them to the living room.

After the tea was served, Ms. Nakamura talked about the two gangsters, "I don't know who they are, they broke in suddenly this morning, pointed guns at me, and asked where my grandfather hid things Then they found the manuscript paper I wrote and asked me when I sent the letter, they guessed that you would come today, Detective Maori, so they tied me up in the attic, pretending to be me and asking you to help find this thing.”

"Excuse me, Miss Nakamura, do you know what they are looking for?" Mori asked.

"I really don't know." Nakamura said.

"That's it," Maori asked, "Speaking of which, there are many kinds of clocks in this room. Is your grandfather really just a watchmaker?"

"Yes, my grandfather's name is Fuchimon Tokiro, and he is a master watchmaker recognized by the guild," Nakamura said with a smile. "Everyone says that the clocks he makes can last a lifetime."

"No, I'm talking about other identities." Mao Li said, "For example, secretly helping people make fake designer watches."

"Ah?" Nakamura Cao said in surprise, "I-I haven't heard my grandfather mention this at all."

Maori asked: "So, Miss Nakamura, what do you mean by the very weird things you mentioned in your letter?"

"The first is that all the digital clocks in this house go off at eleven o'clock in the morning," Nakamura said.

At this time, it was exactly eleven o'clock in the morning, and the digital clocks really rang.

Conan picked up a digital clock and found a scratch on the surface of the clock, as if something else had been glued to it, so he asked, "What's going on here?"

"I don't know, I just know that not only this one is like this, but there are many more, which seem to be carved on purpose. There are also these animal ornaments, which seem to be removed on purpose." Nakamura Cao said, "This is also a strange one. place, because my grandfather is actually a person who cherishes things, especially clocks.”

Lan smiled and said, "By the way, I see there are many animal decorations here. Master Yuan Wen must like animals very much."

Nakamura said with a smile: "Yes, my grandfather has a strong interest in animals. Compared with those cheating and abducting humans, these animals that are only hunted for survival are much better. This sentence is my grandfather's mantra."

Maori asked, "Are there only these strange places?"

Nakamura Cao said: "There is also the pigeon clock above the desk in the study. When it tells the time, it is not a pigeon, but three little ghosts that come out of it. And it is very strange, it does not tell the time on the hour, but in the afternoon." It's ten to one."

"Ten past one in the afternoon?" said Maury. "That's really strange."

"This is a code." Conan said casually, "Remind the three numbers 110."

"Code?" Maori was taken aback.

"What's that? Should we call the police?" Lan asked.

"By the way, Detective Maori, should we call the police?" Nakamura asked.

"Of course we have to call the police, but can we wait until I find this thing?" Maori asked.

Nakamura asked: "Then, those two people?"

Yamazaki said, "Don't worry,

They can't break free. " Then he said, "Uncle, although I don't understand what the code is, but since there is something strange about that clock, it's all right to take it apart and have a look. "

"So that's... ah," Mao Li glanced at Nakamura.

Mouth said, "As a detective, deciphering codes is often done."

"Yes, Uncle." Yamazaki said.

"Maori detective, think about it slowly, I'll go prepare something to eat." Nakamura said with a smile, "I can't let you go hungry."

"Let me help you, Miss Nakamura." Lan smiled.

Lan and Nakamura left, and Yamazaki shook his head and slipped away seeing Mori and Conan trying to figure out a signal.

study.

"There should be tools for repairing the clock." Yamazaki opened the desk drawer and looked, and found a tool bag, and then took down the upper clock and dismantled it.

Looking at the thing he found, a watch studded with diamonds of various colors, Yamazaki said to himself: "This old gentleman's craftsmanship is really good." Then he looked at another thing, three little ghosts squatting together, " I seem to have seen this thing in the materials collected by my uncle."

"The Gale Thieves Group." Conan came in and said, "The Thief Group that specializes in stealing black-hearted companies will occasionally appear in some illegal trading scenes, doing some black and black business, and there will be a guy named Goblin at the scene of the crime." The little ghosts, they disappeared ten years ago, and I didn't expect to appear here."

"Have you figured out the password?" Yamazaki asked.

"There are many animals in this house, but one thing is missing, which is the lion, and the homonym of the three numbers 110 can be pronounced as the king of beasts." Conan said, "Now there is only one thing on the entrance door in this house. The opposite doorknob is in the shape of a lion, and one of them is light-transmitting. If I'm not mistaken, you just have to wait until night to shine a torch and follow the light to find this thing."

"That's right, there is a light-sensing device on this clock." Yamazaki said with a smile, "As expected of a detective."

"Hey, can you still put the clock on now?" Conan asked.

"Okay," Yamazaki said, "but this thing can't be left inside for you to find."

"Why?" Conan asked.

Yamazaki said: "This thing should still be dirty."

Conan said: "I know this, just hand it over to the police."

"No, the Hayate Thieves Group stole more than these things back then. If it is recovered, this house will definitely not be enough, and Ms. Nakamura's family property may be confiscated." Yamazaki said, "Uncle's reputation will be completely over by then, No one likes this kind of house detective."

"This is indeed a problem," Conan asked, "so what do you say?"

Yamazaki said: "Do a property division procedure to separate Miss Nakamura's property from Mr. Fuchimon Tokiro's property in a formal way, including the favors received before, so that those creditors can't find trouble with Miss Nakamura. gone."

Conan sighed: "It seems that Ms. Nakamura will spend a lot of money." Then he thought for a while and asked, "The procedure can't be completed in a day, right?"

Yamazaki said with a smile: "The week counts as a single digit."

"What about these two guys?" Conan said, "They will definitely tell everything."

Yamazaki said: "I think apart from this watch, there should be nothing else that can prove that Mr. Fuchimon is a member of the Hayate Thieves Group."

"Not a member, Mr. Yuan Wen should be the leader." Conan said, "If you can get all these colored diamonds, you must be the leader who divides the spoils."

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Yes, I was negligent. Generally speaking, these colored diamonds are still hard to come by."

Conan said: "But, have you ever thought about it, even if the procedure is completed, what if the police still refuse to admit it? You must know that the procedure is done after the incident."

"It's just a gamble on luck." Yamazaki said, "It's better than having no cards at all."

Conan said: "I think you might as well find someone to find out who the creditors of the Gale Wind Thief Group are. Shifeng Security should have this information."

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Then let's talk about it first..."

"Wait, wait," Conan said hastily, "You belong to the firm too, so this should be your business, right?"

"Uncle Mori's reputation is gone, I don't mind at all," Yamazaki said with a smile, "I don't know a certain great detective..."

"Okay, as you said." Conan raised his triangular eyes.

"That's fine." Yamazaki took out two phones, a mobile phone and a satellite phone.

"I said, isn't it heavy for you to carry?" Conan asked angrily.

"Insurance, there are many places with no signal in the mountains." Yamazaki said, "It will be good to combine the two in the future." Then he saw that the mobile phone had a signal here, so he used the mobile phone.

Yamazaki called Oda Nobue and asked her to buy a copy of the news about the Haifeng Thief Group to see who the creditors are.

The listening fee was one million yen, and Conan was taken aback, "Is the information compiled by the news so expensive?"

"It's already very cheap. If you check it yourself and then sort it out, it will be impossible in a few weeks." Yamazaki said, "Not to mention whether you can find news from more than ten years ago, Let’s say you found the relevant company in the newspaper news, and then you have to confirm it? It happened more than ten years ago, how long do you think it will take you to confirm whether there is any person or company inheriting the debt? So, Very cheap."

"Okay, I owe the money first," Conan said.

Yamazaki said with a smile: "The interest..."

Conan sent a pair of big white eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Based on the National Bank standard."

"Well, let's do the short-term calculation first." Yamazaki said with a smile.

Not long after, Oda Nobue called, "Sir, besides the country, the only one who is qualified to recover property from the Gale Thief Group is the Takeju Financial Club under the Takei Group. Those that the Gale Wind Thief Group stole back then There are many things that are not visible. After committing crimes, they notified the police. The original owners of those things were arrested. Now the right to recover those things belongs to the state. Among the remaining legitimate items, nearly a hundred Seventy percent of the recovery right belongs to the Wuju Financial Club. The Wuju Group is the company owned by the father of Ms. Takeju Naoko in your class, and Ms. Huajing’s father was one of the victims of the Galewind Thieves Group."

"I see, I see." Yamazaki said.

Oda Nobue said: "Hey, sir, did you find something lost and want to buy it? Would you like me to help you? I am quite familiar with Takeju-san."

"No more," Yamazaki said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness." Then he hung up the phone.

"Why don't you ask her for help?" Conan said, "With Mr. Takeju's temperament, he will definitely extract the maximum benefit."

"It was just helping out just now, and being a middleman is considered a task." Yamazaki said, "Don't worry, Ms. Hanai is here, and I won't settle accounts with Ms. Nakamura. As long as Ms. Nakamura takes Mr. Just hand over the property."

"Ms. Huajing is still with him?" Conan asked.

"That's right, she is the one who manages the Wuju Financial Club." Yamazaki said, "It can be said that Mr. Takeju played a bad face, and he did the demolition and chasing people to ask for debts. She does all the lending and so on, and the two sing and sing together very well."

After that, Yamazaki put the watch back into the clock, put the clock back on the wall, and then went to the entrance with Conan to look, and found that the two gagged gangsters had woken up and were trying to stand up, so they went to the living room to inform Maori.

However, the two gangsters did not cooperate at all with Maori's questioning, so they were allowed to replace Miss Nakamura as the tenants of the attic.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the study room.

After the clock rang, three little ghosts came out to tell the time. When Maori saw them, he also thought of the Galewind Thieves Group. They used clocks and watches to smuggle jewelry, but your grandfather passed away suddenly, so they had to come to you. Your grandfather was afraid that telling you would bring you danger, so he used the code 110 to tell you and asked you to call the police."

"I see." Nakamura said.

Mao Li said: "The Gale Thieves Group would leave a little ghost doll like this after committing crimes. Now that the little ghost doll is planted in this clock, it is your grandfather who wants to tell you that their things are here, that is to say, those jewels are here. In this clock." Then he stepped forward to take down the clock on the wall, asked Nakamura to find tools, and dismantled the clock while Conan was dumbfounded.

"Look, it's this watch." Maori proudly handed the diamond watch he found to Nakamura Cao.

"Dad, you are really amazing." Lan said happily.

"That's right, Detective Maori, you really deserve your reputation." Nakamura said with a smile.

"Where, where." Maori laughed triumphantly.

Afterwards, in order to prevent Nakamura's grandfather, Fuchimon Tokiro, from being regarded by the police as an accomplice of the Haifeng Thief Group in selling stolen goods, Mori directly called the Megure Police Department and asked him to help handle the case.

Seeing that Mori contributed a lot to the Hijikata Kosaburo incident yesterday, the Megure Police Department agreed to come over. ...

In the afternoon, at the home of Dr. Ali.

After returning, Yamazaki brought Conan, who had been depressed, over.

After entering the door, Conan yelled: "Ah, damn it, how is this possible? The reasoning is not right at all. If that's the case, he can call the police by himself, so why bother to set up any secret code. The time on the watch is 3:30." Shi Shi is alluding to Nakamura Cao, who obviously wanted to secretly leave the watch to his granddaughter, how did it become like this? Ah..."

Seeing Conan rolling on his bed in anger, Dr. Ari asked Yamazaki suspiciously: "What happened to him? Did he let the murderer in the incident escape?"

"No, that's not the case." Yamazaki said with a smile, "The police have approved Uncle Mori's reasoning, although the two gangsters will identify Mr. Fuchimon Tokiro, but I don't think the police will find strong evidence to prove that The deceased Mr. Yuanwen is the leader of the Galewind Thieves Group, so Miss Nakamura is completely the victim, not only will she not lose money, but she will also be compensated." Then he smiled at Conan, "By the way, don't forget Pay the owed data fee.”

"Got it, got it." Conan shouted.

"What material fee?" Dr. A Li asked with a suppressed smile.

"Oh, he was worried that Ms. Nakamura would be pursued by the creditors of the Galewind Thieves Group, which would hurt Uncle's reputation, so he bought a document to learn about these creditors." Yamazaki said with a smile.

"Ha..." Dr. A Li laughed, "Unexpectedly, Detective Maori really did a perfect deduction this time, compared to a certain great detective."

"Okay, I'll leave this guy who is angry at being compared to Uncle Maori to you, Dr. Ari." Yamazaki said with a smile, then said goodbye and left. ...
