Chapter 725: The Treasure Hunt of the Old House

On Thursday, August 12th, in the morning, the old bungalow of Dr. Ali’s uncle’s house.

After entering the door, the three of Yuantai began to search through boxes and cabinets. Dr. A Li quickly stopped them, told them not to mess things up, and reminded: "Be careful and pay attention to your surroundings, you will definitely find something."

"That's right, for example, the strange characters engraved at the entrance." Huiyuan said.

After hearing Hui Yuan's words, Yuan Tai and the others immediately went to the entrance.

"How? Guess it?" Dr. Ari asked Haibara and Conan, and then found that Conan was gone.

"It should be to find the treasure." Huiyuan said, and then said, "The one on the ground is the vase in the living room."

"It's not that simple." Dr. A Li stroked his beard and smiled.

"Doctor, is this also what you prepared?" Conan took a vase and a candlestick and showed their bottoms, where there were rows of strange patterns made up of different suns, moons, and stars.

"This is not what we did." Dr. A Li said.

"Oh, that's interesting." Conan said excitedly, "You can see that the first three are exactly the same, that is to say, there is a pattern."

"A dancing doll?" Haibara asked.

Conan smiled excitedly: "Not bad, but we need to find more to determine whether it is a password."

"So it hasn't been solved yet," Huiyuan asked angrily, "Then why are you so excited?"

Conan smiled excitedly: "I can't suppress my curiosity, the more I don't understand, the more excited I am."

"That means the detective's blood is boiling." Huiyuan shook his head and sighed.

"By the way, I have seen these patterns before." Dr. A Li said after thinking for a while.

"Is it true, Doctor?" Conan asked hastily, "Where? Where have you seen it, Doctor?"

"Hey, Conan, think about it together." Yuan Tai said.

"You put the vase and candlestick back first, and then we can talk about finding this treasure." Dr. Ali smiled at Conan.

Conan put the vase and candlestick back in their place, and then went to remind Yuantai and the other three, asking them to stand back and read a text. The result was to follow the arrow, and the arrow next to the text pointed to the vase in the living room, so Yuantai and the other three I went to investigate the vase and found that there was a riddle on the ground below. The answer to the riddle was the restaurant candlestick, so I went to the restaurant.

In this way, the detective team went all the way around the entire villa, and found the last riddle under the bed in the bedroom on the second floor. After solving it, they found that it was the study safe, so the detective team went to the study room, but found no hint.

Under Conan's prompt, the detective team found the switch, but it didn't work, which made Conan stunned.

"Will it be there?" Ayumi asked, pointing to the rubble in the broken wall.

"Let's look for it." Yuan Tai said.

After that, the detective team found the safe in the rubble. It was buried under the rubble in the interlayer of the wall. After opening it, they found a bunch of toys, which made Yuantai and the others happy.

"That's not right," Mitsuhiko suddenly noticed the problem, "On the packaging of this toy airplane, the production date is this year."

"That's right," Genta also noticed the problem, "This Kamen Rider is last year's version."

"Doctor?" Ayumi asked suspiciously.

Conan smiled and said, "These toys were placed here after the doctor bought them yesterday.

To play a scavenger hunt with you guys here. "

"I see." Ayumi smiled, "Dr. Li, thank you so much."

"Thank you, doctor." Yuantai and Mitsuhiko said.

"It's nothing, as long as you are happy." Dr. A Li said with a smile, "This is a special gift for summer, it's a summer poem."

"Okay, Doctor, let's solve my problem now." Conan asked, "Where did you read those codes?"

"Among my aunt's belongings, there is a letter sent to me. The letters in the letter are all written in hiragana. Although the content is a general greeting letter, it is awkward to read in some places, and the format is very strange. The words are in the letter. There are these weird patterns in the middle and all around.” Dr. A Li said, “Then one day, I saw this letter again when I was tidying up things at home, so I went to the next door and asked you, no,” see Glancing at Yuan Tai and the other three who were playing with toys not far away, "I went to ask the mystery novelist next door."

Conan asked, "What did he say?"

"At first, the novelist was not very happy because his creative inspiration was interrupted, but he suddenly became excited after seeing the letter. He went back to the house with the letter, and came out a few minutes later and said to me happily , 'It's really fun, the doctor is like the sun, thanks to you, my gloomy mood was swept away'." Dr. Ali said, "Then he gave me the letter back to the room, but I didn't understand it at all What is he saying."

Huiyuan asked: "And then, what about the letter?"

"The letter is at home." Dr. A Li scratched his head, "I have to look for it somewhere."

"It's an interpretation table, it must be an interpretation table for the code." Conan said excitedly, "The contents of the letter are all written in hiragana, which actually means that you need to use hiragana to read the surrounding patterns."

"So that's how it is." Huiyuan asked Dr. Ali, "This code is left by your aunt, and she wants to tell you something."

"Want to tell me?" Dr. A Li thought for a while, then realized, "By the way, it's that one."

"What? What is it?" Conan asked.

Dr. A Li smiled and said: "If you want to hear the story, first decipher the code, here it is."

"Okay, it would be boring to have an interpretation table." Conan smiled, and then asked Yuantai and the other three to help find things.

"By the way, don't go in here." Dr. Ali took them to the utility room under the stairs, opened the door and let them see the hole leading to the basement.

Yuan Tai asked: "Where is this?"

"It's an empty wine cellar below. It hasn't been cleaned for many years, and there are many spider webs." Dr. A Li said.

After that, Conan and Genta went to the code and found nine things in the living room. Conan deciphered the hiragana according to the different patterns of the same pattern, and found that the tenth code was in the fireplace, but after reading the code in the fireplace, But found that the next code is one of the nine items found just now, that is to say, ten codes form a cycle.

"What, it's back to the starting point." Yuan Tai said.

"Really, we were played by these codes." Mitsuhiko said.

"Ha, maybe someone's reading chart is wrong." Huiyuan laughed.

"Impossible." Conan said, "It's impossible to find the fireplace that way."

"Okay, no matter what, let's put things back in their original places." Dr. A Li said.

Dr. A Li led Yuantai and the others to put everything back in place, while Conan sat on the ground thinking, and Hui Principle looked at Conan with interest.

"Hey," Yuan Tai noticed that Conan was lazy, "what are you doing sitting there, why don't you get up to help."

"And it's still sitting in the middle, it's too blocking the way." Guangyan complained.

In the middle, wait a minute, all the things with codes are in this room. If they are connected, will they be in the center? Thinking of this, Conan hurriedly knocked on the ground, but found no space below.

Isn't it the bottom? Is it the top? Conan looked up and found that the chandelier was a bit strange. Not only did it hang relatively low, but it was also asymmetrical. Could it be rotating? Thinking of this, he immediately shouted: "Doctor, come and carry me."

"Ah?" Dr. A Li was taken aback for a moment.

"Hurry up." Conan said anxiously.

"Hey, hello, Conan, can you be a little polite?" Yuan Tai said.

"Yeah, you have to say please for this kind of thing." Mitsuhiko said.

"That's right, Conan." Ayumi nodded.

"Did you hear that, Conan, say it again." Dr. Ali stroked his beard and smiled.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong just now." Conan said to Dr. Ali, "Doctor, please carry me on your back."

"That's about the same." Dr. Ali smiled, and then went to recite Conan.

Conan held the chandelier and turned it to the left, but didn't turn it, then turned it to the right, but still didn't turn it, so he broke out in sweat.

"Ha!" Huiyuan couldn't help laughing, "What are you doing?"

"There should be a mechanism here." Conan said what he had just thought.

"So that's how it is," Dr. Ali put Conan down with a smile, "I see, this mechanism may have been burned out yesterday."

"What do you mean?" Conan asked.

"It starts with the oil painting of my uncle and aunt in this painting at the beginning." Dr. A Li said with a smile, "The artist who painted this painting should be a friend of my uncle and aunt, because I can't bear to commit crimes. Road, and couldn’t bear to expose him, so I lived here alone.”

"Criminal path, what is it?" Conan asked.

"A template for twenty dollars," said Dr. Ali.

"What?" Conan was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Then now, where is the thing?"

"Don't worry, that's the version from thirty years ago, I heard it's out of circulation." Dr. A Li said.

"What is a template?" Yuan Tai asked.

"It's a counterfeit banknote." Mitsuhiko said, "Didn't we accept a commission for 1,000 yen last time? The template is the finished product."

"That's right." Ayumi said.

"And what happened next?" Conan asked.

"Listen to me slowly." Dr. Ali told about the fact that his aunt made a will to keep the villa for Mr. Okuda to live here, Mr. Mr. Okuda died of illness in the attic for many years, and the epidemic prevention personnel came to deal with it. Mr. Mr. Okuda's brother Okuda Lun Ming came to look for templates and then passed out and was taken to the hospital, as well as the distribution of the relics of artist Okuda.

Conan said: "So that's how it is. It seems that Illustrator Okuda made this sign and asked your aunt to leave it for you and tell you where he is."

"Why is it Mr. Okuda, why not my aunt?" Dr. Ali asked.

"These ten things are all in the villa. Your aunt is just here for a vacation. It is impossible to think about the laws of these ten things to create this code." Conan took out a coin, "And look at this coin , It was caught in a book in the TV cabinet, and there were some white hairs in it, I was thinking that it was made by some handy and leisurely old man, but now I understand."

"Skillful and free-spirited?" Dr. Ali asked suspiciously.

Huiyuan said: "Look carefully, this coin is a circle smaller than normal coins, and the font has also changed to the previous font. Only people who are very free will do this."

Conan said: "Perhaps the twenty-dollar stencil was made by Mr. Okuda, so he not only has to hide that stencil, but also hides himself."

Dr. A Li took out a coin and compared it, and it was really different. Yuantai and the three found it interesting, so they took it, and finally returned it to Ayumi.

Afterwards, everyone packed up their things and left the villa, and Dr. Ali drove the detective team on their way home.

On the way, looking at the scorched black on the roof of the villa from a distance, Conan asked, "By the way, since you don't know the code, how did you find the attic?"

Dr. A Li smiled and said, "Oh, that's Mei Daizi going up and smashing a hole in the roof, and then found out."

"Ah?" Conan asked dumbfounded, "The mezzanine and the basement didn't come out like this, did they?"

Dr. A Li said with a smile: "Almost, but the switch on the interlayer was found, but it has not been used for too long, and it is rusted."

"Ha," Haibara laughed, "It's really a simple and clear method."

"This is the right way, understand?" Conan raised his triangular eyes.

"Although the process is important, the result is even more important," Haibara said.

"The process is important, okay?" Conan said, "As long as the process is correct, there will be results in the end."

"Really?" Haibara looked out the window and said, "But you forgot the most important point."

"What?" Conan asked.

"Time." Haibara looked at Conan and said, "It's like your antidote, if it takes fifty or a hundred years to develop it..."

"No, no way!" Conan sweated all over his forehead, and then asked, "Hey, you are just talking casually, not serious, are you?"

"Maybe." Huiyuan murmured looking out the window, "I hope not."

"Cough!" Dr. A Li changed the topic, "By the way, the novelist called me Dr. Sun for a while after reading the coded letter. Why?"

"That's just a metaphor." Conan laughed.

"A metaphor?" Haibara asked.

"Use this interpretation form to interpret the doctor's name." Conan gave the interpretation form to Haibara.

Huiyuan looked at it and said with a smile: "So that's it, all of them are patterns of the sun."

"Ha, so I'm Dr. Sun, it's so fun." Dr. Ali smiled happily. ...
