Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chi Feichi walked towards the south wall.

The next puzzle points to yes, the south wall.

"The material of the carpet is very good, but it still can't hide the oldness. It means that it should have been left many years ago. No one has replaced it with a new one. There are square indentations on it, probably something like a showcase..."

"However, on the four walls, the shades of brown are inconsistent. In the lighter places, it can be roughly seen that there are three squares of different sizes. There were paintings on the walls, and they were hung for a long time..."

"This should be the exhibition room..."

"In addition, there are traces of artificial cutting on the edge of the carpet near the corner, and there are red fibers in the golden edge of the corner. The carpet here should have been directly pressed to the lower corner of the wall during decoration, but it was later removed. People cut it open and lifted it up to see..."

"Judging from the edge of the cut, the cut was left at least ten years ago. Considering that the material of the carpet is relatively good, the changes brought about by time will be appropriately mitigated. It was cut at least twenty years ago, or even earlier. Before, it was impossible to judge which owner of the Twilight Pavilion did it, or who else did it."

"Could that thing have been taken away?" Feichi asked.

"I don't know."

Chi Feichi walked to the south wall and walked along the wall, observing and brushing gently with his gloved right hand.

There is nothing special, and there is no mechanism...

Could it be that he found the wrong place?

No, after many years, the Twilight Pavilion has changed many owners. Among those people, many of them bought it because they wanted to find some treasure left by Renye Karasuma, even if they didn't change the interior of the house. The layout of the Twilight Pavilion will definitely be searched all over again. If the mechanism is so simple on the wall, I am afraid it will have been discovered long ago...

Um? Wait, if the previous owners tried their best to keep the furnishings in the Twilight Pavilion as they were in order to find the treasure, it is unlikely that the things here would be removed.

Was it that things were moved out after Renya Karasuma passed away, and for some reason, things weren't brought back?

Or...was this room emptied before Renye Karasuma passed away?

if the latter one……

Why vacate the room?

In an empty room, wealth can be clearly seen at a glance.

This is the first psychological tactic.

It makes people feel that there is nothing good here, and they will not look for it patiently.

Secondly, the dark red carpet and white crystal lamps in the room are too conspicuous, attracting attention, and it seems that the carpets and crystal lamps are also passive.

This is the second psychological tactic.

Even if someone suspects that this is a suspicious formation, and hopes to check the more conspicuous carpets and crystal lamps, plus the surrounding walls, and finds that there is nothing special or mechanism, they will be disappointed and feel that they want to too much.

At least for now, the psychological tactics are successful, and none of the previous homeowners seems to have thought about installing a camera in this empty room.

Then, what you really want to hide should be in an inconspicuous place...

Chi Feichi scanned the surroundings, his eyes paused on the ventilation window, "It's really...boring enough."

"Huh?" Feichi became more energetic, "Master, do you know where the things are?"

"The reminder actually has two meanings, one is the national emblem, and the other is light." Chi Feichi looked at the ventilation window, "The sun, moon, and stars all have light. If you want to find the star orb hidden in the jungle, you also need light. There are many ways to say light in English, light, ray, beam... light is generally used in light sources, sunlight, moonlight and starlight are all used in light, ray has the meaning of radial extension, such as x-ray, that is x-ray, and beam generally refers to beams of light..."

Feichi continued to think, failed to think, and chose to give up, "Which one is that? Light?"

"No, jewelry itself does not emit light. Even night pearls need to absorb enough light. We are looking for orbs, not the sun, moon and stars, so the light source is excluded, not light." Chi Feichi said softly "Secondly, the lights will also go out due to power outages. The only light that exists forever is the light from nature. In this room, the only place where natural light can be cast..."

Feichi looked at the row of ventilation windows.

Chi Feichi continued, "That window has a fence. If there is light coming in, it must be a beam of light. It will not be a ray protruding radially, but a beam with the meaning of a beam of light."

In addition, the ventilation window is on the right side of the south wall, that is, the west. Only when the sun is setting, the sunlight will come in as a beam of light. It also fits with the name "Twilight Pavilion", so the room should be right.

"Well... if the beam of light is cast from the outside, it will finally fall on..." Feichi turned his head silently, looking at the south wall, "Master, finally turned back to the south wall..."

"No, beam has another meaning, beam," Chi Feichi looked up at the ceiling, "Generally speaking, beams are unlikely to be exposed in this kind of building, but the position of beams in this room is easy to find."

It's really easy to find. The ceiling of this room is made of wood. Although other places are flush with the beam and painted with the same color of wood paint, the other places are scattered wooden boards, and only the beam runs to the bottom.

"Is it inside the beam?" Feichi looked up.

"The beam is too long, it is difficult to determine where it is, and it is not possible that no one will notice the beam. It is not on the beam. The ventilation window in this room is very high. Connect the beam of light that can be projected on the south wall to the beam. It is a A standard square," Chi Feichi took out a telescopic stick from his coat pocket, stretched it, and then used it to draw across the ceiling, "Draw a five-pointed star in the square, and the five landing points that intersect with the square... "

"Ka... Ka... Da..."

The stick landed on the five landing points, and some sounds were crisper and some were duller, but the difference was very small, and it was hard to hear the difference if you didn't listen carefully.

After hitting the five landing points, there was no movement.

Chi Feichi was not surprised, and struck again in the order of the percussion sounds from crisp to dull.

If not, then try the other way around...

Feichi watched silently, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

Alas, human beings are so complicated, can't you just tell where things are and how to get them...

As the last point fell, there was a slight click on the south wall ahead.

Where the south wall is close to the floor, a drawer-like lattice sticks out.

Inside lay a solid black...

Kendama?

Chi Feichi: "..."

The one who said it's a 'little thing, very interesting' is really not lying...

Feichi asked impatiently, "Master, is this some valuable treasure?"

"In France in the 11th century, there was a game called Bill Boquet, which means cups and balls. In the Edo period, that is, at the beginning of the 17th century, it was introduced to Japan as an after-dinner entertainment," Chi Feichi knelt down and took Picking up Kendama, I found that there was a round black plate underneath. I didn’t rush to look at it. I looked at Kendama, “During the Taisho period in 1918, the Japanese reformed the appearance. This is the finished product after the reform. Call it 'kendama,' a recreational sport, and this thing...is pretty good to play."

Feichi was a little confused, "Is it a toy?"

After solving the puzzle for a long time, what I found was a toy... Is this a bad joke?

Chi Feichi was also surprised when he first saw it, but soon he was relieved.

No matter what it is, since it was given to him, he just accepts it.

Kendama is made of wood, and the whole body is pitch black. There are crow patterns engraved on the sword ball, the handle of the sword body, and the inside of the vessel.

Not a family crest with a simple pattern, but a variety of crows.

A flying crow, a crow sitting on a branch, a swooping crow, two crows playing together... Each one is carved very small, but they are all lifelike.

As for kendama, this kind of kendama with too many carved lines will affect the balance of the kendama and make it difficult to catch the ball. It is definitely not enough for competitions. However, it is very suitable for collection as artwork or toys. value.

And it's not impossible to play, it just doesn't meet the 'standard specification'.

Kendama once had a period of prosperity in Japan, but as more and more entertainment methods came into people's sight, the popularity is slowly fading.

So far, although there are still Kendama Associations and Kendama Competitions in Japan, they are very unpopular. In the eyes of many people, this is an outdated traditional entertainment, and many children and young people have never been exposed to it.

It will probably take a few more years... No, forget it, he doesn't know how long it will take, Kendama's popularity in the world should increase, and he will gradually enter other countries, but even if it was the one before his death in his previous life, For a while, there weren't many Kendama players around, far from being 'popular'.

He had played in his previous life, and from his memory, the original consciousness had also played for two years.

In fact, this is also a kind of extreme sports, a kind of sports that can challenge one's own limits. It not only tests the body's spine, but also sharpens the mind. It exercises patience and concentration. It requires a person to endure loneliness and practice and challenge repeatedly.

Seeing that Chi Feichi was squatting, Feichi simply retracted his head, slipped out of his sleeve, and landed on the carpet, comforting Chi Feichi, "Forget it, master, the toy is actually not bad..."

"It's really good."

Chi Feichi held the sword body and lifted it lightly, and the rope pulled the sword jade to fly up. After the bowl in his hand was turned over, it landed in the large dish, making a crisp sound, and was brought up by a slight force.

At the same time, Chi Feichi turned the blade over again, and when the sword jade fell, it landed on the middle dish again.

After that, there is Xiaopan, the tip of the sword...

When the sword ball landed on the tip of the sword, it slipped, and the hole didn't go through the tip of the sword, but slipped down.

"It's been a long time since I played, and my hands are raw." Chi Feichi paused and started again.

Large dish, medium dish, small dish, sword tip...

Feichi stood up, listened to the crisp 'dongdong' sound, stared straight at the sword ball dancing around the sword body, and also stared at Chi Feichi's dexterously flipping hands, his snake eyes glowed coldly of the dim light.

Master 666...

This toy is so fun...

want to play.

in a minute...

Chi Feichi got acquainted with catching the ball with the tip of the sword, and then repeatedly caught the ball with the big and small dishes, continuing to 'boom boom boom'.

Feichi waited patiently.

five minutes later……

Chi Feichi changed the gesture of holding the jade, and continued to 'dong dong dong'.

Feichi: "..."

ten minutes later……

Chi Feichi continued to try to catch the blade back with the fencing ball. Mistake, try again, mistake, try again.

This thing is really up there, just like the yo-yo that was popular in China in the previous life. When you can accomplish something that you couldn't do before, you will have a sense of joy and a sense of accomplishment that breaks through yourself.

In addition, playing games like "Xiao Xiao Le" is actually the same mentality. After passing a level, if you fail, you will start again, try again and again, and figure out the secret to clearing the level.

After passing the level that could not be passed before and reaching a new record, you will get a sense of accomplishment, and you will involuntarily set the next breakthrough goal and make a breakthrough.

Feichi: "..."

Can you take a look at it, it's been waiting for a long time...
