Chapter 724: The Secret of the Old House

August 11th, Wednesday, before 5:00 p.m., in the old bungalow of Dr. Ali’s uncle’s house.

After Yamazaki came down from the roof with Okuda Lunming on his back, he put Okuda Lunming on the floor of the living room, on the bed that Ran and Sonoko brought from the bedroom, and then said to Dr. Ali and Ran and Sonoko: "This is Okuda Ren Ming, come to find a twenty-dollar template from thirty years ago."

Dr. Ali asked in surprise: "Could it be the money to be faked?"

"Then let's call the police." Lan said.

Yamazaki said, "No, that version of the twenty dollars may not be in circulation anymore."

"So," Yuanzi said with a smile after thinking for a while, "I remember that in 1990, the twenty-dollar version was greatly improved, and an anti-counterfeiting mark was added."

Dr. Ali asked: "Then his pistol?"

"He has a gun license, it's just expired for a long time," Yamazaki said.

"Ah?" Dr. Ali and the three were surprised.

"I speculate that this gentleman commissioned someone to make a 20-dollar template 30 years ago. As a result, the man disappeared. He dreamed of making a fortune and used this as a motivation to search tirelessly." Yamazaki said, "Now he may have realized that he had dreamed for too long after the dream was broken, and he couldn't accept it, so he passed out."

"I see." Dr. A Li said.

At this time, Mei Daizi finished the phone call and asked Yuanzi and Lan, "How are you doing? What did you find?"

"Come with me," Sonoko smiled, "I found a mezzanine in the study, but I haven't found the switch yet."

"Me too." Lan laughed. "I found a basement in the utility room under the stairs, but I couldn't find the entrance."

A moment later, the study.

Mei Daizi knocked on the area pointed by Yuanzi with her hand, "This sound is made of metal, and there should be a safe behind it. The switch of this thing is usually on the desk, bookcase, etc., or it is some decoration. You can find it in Yuanzi." Yet?"

"Not yet?" Yuanzi said while touching the decorations everywhere in the study, "I heard something when I found it."

"Then look for it quickly." Mei Daizi said, "Lan, go and look at the bookcase." Then she went to check the desk.

"Take out the books one by one," Sonoko said.

"I know, I saw it on TV." Lan laughed.

After a while, Lan got the news, and a few books couldn't be moved.

"Then don't take it, it must have been useless for too long, and it's rusted." Yamazaki said with a smile, "Dr. Ali, if you don't mind, find a long-handled hammer."

Dr. Ali went to find the hammer, and Lan took the others to the utility room under the stairs.

Mei Daizi took a few steps on the ground and found that it was the floor, so she asked Yuanzi and Lan to stand a little farther away, then stomped her foot hard, jumped forward and fell outside the door, and the floor cracked a hole.

Mei Daizi stood outside the door and knocked around the hole a few times with the hammer brought by Dr. A Li, expanding the hole and revealing a staircase.

"There's no smell, so it shouldn't matter. Let it take a breath, and we'll come back at night." Mei Daizi smiled, "Go and open the safe first."

"Let's go, let's see what I found. There are some good things." Yuanzi smiled.

After a while, everyone returned to the study, Mei Daizi hit the wall next to the safe with a hammer, some bricks flew out,

There was a sound, and it seemed that something in the next room had been hit, and at the same time a pile of debris fell to the ground with a "crash".

After the gravel stopped, a large hole was exposed. Looking through the hole, the room next door was already in a mess, and there were still a few flying bricks stuck on the opposite wall.

Mei Daizi used a hammer to push away the gravel, and the side of a safe was exposed. She tapped the corner a few times to loosen the safe, then took it out and put it on the desk, and found that it was an old-fashioned knob-shaped safe. , so he put his ear on the safe and started to turn the button.

"Can you really hear it?" Yuanzi put his ear on the safe, "There is really a sound."

"Really?" Lan pressed his ear to the safe, "I heard that too."

After a while, the lock of the safe was unlocked, and Mei Daizi asked with a smile, "Guess what it is?"

"Of course it's gold, silver and jewelry." Sonoko smiled.

"Then I'll guess the banknote." Lan said with a smile.

Mei Daizi opened it and found that there was only one letter inside. She took it out and saw that it was for Dr. A Li, so she handed it to Dr. A Li.

Dr. Ali looked at it, and then said: "When you read this letter, the villa must have been demolished. I don't know if Mr. Okuda is still there. He is a good man, but he sacrificed too much for his brother. Brother You and I actually left some money, but I gave it to Mr. Okuda, I hope you don’t blame me. After thinking about it for a long time, I don’t know what to say to you. In short, take care of yourself and see you later.” Then he took off his glasses and wiped the wet corners of his eyes, "That's it, this is my aunt's handwriting."

Mei Daizi said: "Then, the one in the attic is the painter Ao Tian."

Sonoko said: "In order to prevent my brother, Mr. Okuda Lunmei, from committing crimes and to expose him, he hid here with a template."

Lan said, "What a nice guy."

At this time, the sound of an ambulance came, and everyone hurried out to greet them, only to find a large vehicle behind them, and an epidemic prevention vehicle also came.

After that, Dr. Ali called Huiyuan and told her to go back at night. Huiyuan told him that the car dealer had called him and his new car had arrived.

Lan and Yuanzi each called home and told their family that they would not be back until evening.

The ambulance took Okuda Lunming away, and Yamazaki and Mei Daizi followed.

While the epidemic prevention personnel were working on it, the three of them went to a nearby restaurant for dinner. After Yamazaki and Mei Daizi came over at around 8 pm, they returned to the villa together and found that the epidemic prevention personnel in protective clothing were carrying a body bag. Get down and put in the car.

Seeing them coming, an anti-epidemic worker took off his protective clothing and walked aside with them. He introduced himself as Dr. Nishio, the person in charge of this operation, and told them that the deceased was a male, who should have died suddenly while reading a book.

Yamazaki asked: "Doctor Nishio, do you know how he died?"

"Probably a heart attack," said Dr. Nishio. "There is an empty heart medicine bottle next to his body."

"That's right," Yamazaki asked, "So, did he leave anything?"

"Yes, but apart from a suitcase, I think it's better to burn everything else." Dr. Nishio said, "I think he's already prepared, and all the important things are in the box."

"Then trouble you." Yamazaki asked, "So, this box?"

Anti-epidemic officer A said: "I can give it to you in an hour at most."

"Thank you, Doctor Nishio." Yamazaki said, and then asked, "By the way, there is a basement here that has not been used for a long time. We want to go down and have a look. Can we borrow some protective clothing?"

"Okay." Dr. Nishio brought five sets of protective clothing and helped the five of Yamazaki put on the protective clothing.

basement.

The five of Yamazaki went down to take a look and found that it was a small wine cellar, but it was already empty.

"What a pity." Sonoko smiled.

"Let's go back and bury the treasure." Mei Daizi asked, "Have you thought of any way?"

"I think guessing is good." Sonoko said.

"Will it be too difficult?" Lan asked.

"Then come up with an easy one." Mei Daizi said, "Go and buy a book of children's riddles for reference."

"In addition to these." Dr. Li laughed, and then told the steps of his treasure hiding.

"I think it's good, let's do it like this, how about it?" Mei Daizi asked.

"Agreed." Sonoko smiled.

"No problem." Lan smiled.

Afterwards, the five of them went to a nearby bookstore to buy a book of children's riddles. When they came back, they found a fire in the attic. Dr. Nishio explained to them that it was using a small flame-throwing device to burn things that could not be taken away. around the remains, and reassure them that the fire is under control and will not cause a large-scale fire.

Seeing this, the five people went to arrange the scene and hid a box of "treasures".

Not long after this was done, Dr. Nishio delivered a suitcase.

After he left, Dr. A Li opened the box and found two letters, a picture book, a twenty-dollar template, passbooks, medical records, some certificates and some cash inside.

The two letters are both to Dr. Ali and his aunt, one is unsent love, and the other is unsent longing.

The picture album is full of the figures of Dr. A Li and his aunt, two pictures a year, and it seems that they were all drawn by Dr. A Li and his aunt when he was on vacation.

There are more than 20 million yen in the passbook, and the medical records show that Mr. Okuda has a heart attack.

Yamazaki asked: "Dr. Ari, what are your plans?"

"Well," Dr. Ali said after thinking for a while, "I will keep these two letters and the picture book, and give the passbook and cash to Mr. Okuda Lunmei. As for the template..."

"Give it to me." Mei Daizi said.

"Alright." Dr. A Li gave the template to Mei Daizi.

After that, the five Yamazaki followed the anti-epidemic vehicle back to Good Mood General Hospital, put the suitcase containing the things given to Lunming Okuda there, and then took the subway from Good Mood Station to Mihua Square Station, and then the four of Yamazaki went back Dr. Ali went to pick up the new car, and the old car was sent home by phone. ...

The next day, August 12th, Thursday, in the morning, Dr. Ali's house.

Conan, who was looking forward to seeing the new car, was speechless when he saw the two cars in the yard, one new and one old, both of which were yellow beetles.

Soon after, the detective team arrived, and Dr. Ali drove the five detective team to his uncle's old bungalow in a new car.

On the way, in Dr. Ali's car.

Dr. Ali talked about the purpose of this operation. Uncle once left a treasure in his villa, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time. He wanted to use the wisdom of the detective team to find it.

The three of Yuan Tai started discussing in the back seat, Hui Yuan asked in a low voice, "You also went yesterday? What did you bring back?"

"It's just some irrelevant letters and paintings." Dr. A Li said in a low voice.

"Is there really a treasure?" Conan asked in a low voice.

"Of course it's true." Dr. Li laughed softly. "We found a lot of things, but we just didn't find my uncle's treasure."

Conan thought that last night, Yamazaki and Mei Daizi left after finishing the first half of the work, saying that they were going to meet Lan and Yuanzi, and they didn't take him there, leaving him alone at Mei Dai Restaurant, and didn't say anything when they came back. What to do, so he asked: "We don't mean Yamazaki and the others, right?"

"Guess it? It's them." Dr. Ali smiled.

"So they also participated in the arrangement?" Conan asked.

"That?" Huiyuan asked, "Did you hide a treasure yourself?"

"This," Dr. A Li said with a dry smile, "you will know when you find the treasure."...
