Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 266 Toru Amuro is a good hostage. Please vote for me.

Goatee always felt that with the wisdom of the leader, the puzzle he set should not be solved so quickly.

Since it can be solved so quickly, the mystery here may actually be like what is written in a mystery novel. Once one link is solved, there will be the next link.

In short, if the detective who came to the door was let go at this time, it would be very confusing if they could not solve the remaining puzzle.

Toru Amuro has no other plans today. After all, according to the reservation, this is the time for the mysterious trip to Izu. He figured everyone else was too.

He was about to agree, but suddenly he heard Jiang Xia's suggestion: "It will be dark for more than six hours, which is a long time. Why not give it a try now."

Spending a whole day just for two balls of ordinary quality murderous energy felt a bit like a loss.

Half a day is fine.

Conan and Toru Amuro were a little surprised when they heard this and turned to look at Jiang Xia.

Whether it's the "mirror in the armrest" that Haihara Ai mentioned when he was at the door before, or the hole in the wall of the study room, or the dressing mirror fixed on the table, it all shows one thing - this villa The mysterious mechanism inside is related to "light".

The two detectives have even drawn a simulation diagram in their minds - at night, a strong light will be shined from the lion's head ring at the door, and the light will be reflected by various mirrors hidden inside and outside the villa, eventually forming a beam of light bridge, shooting Enter the cuckoo clock and activate the mechanism.

Since many mirrors are installed outside the house, this mechanism cannot be activated during the day due to sunlight interference... They remember that Jiang Xia had noticed the mirrors everywhere before the devil in the cuckoo clock poked his head, and placed them there. They are connected and it is impossible not to think about it.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Jiang Xia walking to the window and closing the curtains.

Toru Amuro and Conan looked at his action and were startled for a moment. Suddenly they understood what Jiang Xia meant, and their eyes twitched: "Don't you think..."

Jiang Xia carefully closed the two curtains together.

What used to be hung here were ordinary cloth curtains. In recent days, the unlucky granddaughter who inherited the villa felt that someone was peeping on her, so she changed the curtains to more dense blackout ones.

Now as soon as the curtains are drawn, the room suddenly becomes dark.

Jiang Xia picked up the bright flashlight on the cabinet and turned it on, turning the knob to condense the light into a stronger beam.

He did not go out to find the lion's head ring, but walked to the cuckoo clock and observed the mirror fixed on the desk and the hole in the wall of the villa.

Then calculate the angle and illuminate it.

——The flashy reflection is a photo, and the direct flashlight on the face is also a photo. If you round it off, it shouldn’t be too different.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, the cuckoo clock hung quietly on the wall without any movement.

Jiang Xia was not surprised. He raised his hand to wave, called Haiyuan over, and gave her the flashlight: "Hold it, don't move, keep this angle."

Hui Yuan Ai was a little confused, but still followed Jiang Xia's instructions, hugged the flashlight and stood still.

The light shines directly on the cuckoo clock.

The attention of others also focused on it. Jiang Xia took the opportunity to glance at where he was standing in the room at this time. Look back.

There was a reason why he specifically asked Hui Yuan Ai to help him get the flashlight.

——If everything goes well, then that jewelry-encrusted watch will appear soon.

By then, the two gangsters are likely to turn against them and snatch the gemstone watch.

The robbers were not good at solving puzzles, and now they were asking for help. They were afraid that they would get in the way, so they subconsciously left Jiangxia for a distance and stood at the door.

Haihara Ai, on the other hand, was not very interested in solving puzzles and was a little far away. Just now, he was closer to the robber.

If she continues to poke there like before, she will probably be promoted to a hostage in one minute.

Don't worry about Conan. He is the most reassuring person. He has already stood under the cuckoo clock with great interest, looking up and waiting to witness the miracle.

In short, after summoning Haibara Ai, the person closest to the bandits and most suitable to be easily captured and used as a hostage became Toru Amuro...

Come on, boss.

Jiang Xia silently waved the ball for him twice, the same type as Miyano Akemi.

After that, he glanced at the middle-parted man's plastered hand. When the man realized something was wrong and stared back warily, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the cuckoo clock on the wall again.

He raised his hand and moved the minute hand to make time advance rapidly.

According to the "Night" clue provided by the Devil Triplets, the traps in the villa can only be triggered at night. Based on the situation here, Jiang Xia feels that the conditions that control this are nothing more than time and light.

Just now, he closed the anti-peeping blackout curtains for his unfortunate granddaughter. The light in the room was already very dark, but he still failed to trigger the cuckoo clock.

So time is probably one of the triggering factors.

The mechanical cuckoo clock on the wall in front of me does not have the function of automatic network calibration. It thinks it is what time it is when it is dialed, which is easy to fool. Therefore, Jiang Xia feels that shading + fast forwarding should be able to meet the triggering requirements.

Of course, there is another situation, that is, those mirrors used for reflection have been made with some precise scientific techniques. After the light passes through them, the properties will change. Only that special abnormal light can turn on the cuckoo clock and the like. …

Fortunately, the old man who set up the trap didn't expect someone to be so unscrupulous in deciphering his exquisite riddle, so he didn't leave any backup options.

If he stayed, Jiang Xia would have no choice but to dismantle the clock...

——When it was set to past seven o'clock, the cuckoo clock responded.

The small window on the watch clicked open, and what popped out was no longer a ferocious evil spirit, but a friendly-looking pigeon. The sound of the clock is no longer a sharp and harsh "squeak-", "squeak--", but a series of pleasant coos.

The watch studded with precious stones was slung across the pigeon's body like a ribbon.

Jiang Xia raised his hand and took it off.

The excited voice of the middle-parted man came from behind. He saw the gems flashing under the flashlight: "My grandfather left me such a great gift. Thank you for helping me find it!"

"It is indeed a great gift." Jiang Xia shook the watch in his hand and suddenly said, "——The stolen goods that the 'Goblin' bandit group has not yet recovered, I heard that each one is a treasure worth tens of millions. "

The expressions of the two robbers suddenly changed.

Haiyuan Ai was also startled, and hugged the flashlight warily.

Toru Amuro had an expression of anticipation - the Goblin Bandits were once famous, and the devil that popped out of the cuckoo clock in the study just now happened to be the same toy that the Goblin Group would leave behind every time they committed a crime. Same, this is explicit.

Conan also thought about it, but he still couldn't say anything. I could only listen from the side, looking gloomy.

If there were no strangers around, he would be able to open up his reasoning, but not now. He has to be a first-year primary school student... Mainly because Jiang Xia, the boss, seems to be very difficult to fool, and there is always someone who dares to do anything in front of him. A sense of danger that your vest will be ripped off in a matter of minutes.

In short, an evil organization...
