Stay away from Conan

Chapter 876: Outing encounters

It's time...

Back home, I was thinking about my conversation with Koizumi Anko today, and learned from her about this prop called "World". Its special features may be related to time. So is it possible, that I don’t know about the so-called trial. If you want to pass it successfully, you have to find a way around the time?

After all, if it was a dead end right from the start, he wouldn't even have any time to react. In any case, it would be too difficult.

And if changes can be made in time, is it possible that the "world", a "limited item", has to use its own ability to overcome that trial?

After all, "the real world can be reproduced in dreams", this is the only description of the prop that I know, and the trial itself is indeed conducted in a dream, so the prop may play a role in the trial, but it is not It's completely illogical.

However, having said that, since I don’t know the function of this item at all, so far, I still can’t try the second trial——

Unless you have the opportunity, you can understand the effect of this prop.

However, because he did not pass the trial, he did not completely unlock the item, so he still does not know the specific function of this item...

So, back again...

If you don't pass the trial, you won't know the specific effects of the props, and if you want to pass the trial, you seem to have to rely on the effects of the props...

Infinite loop?

Helplessly, Gao Yuan sighed——

After all, I can't just spend the "1,000 bounty" to try out this prop and understand its function for no reason, right?

This cost is too high, and it may not be possible to test the specific effects of the props.

Therefore, let’s wait until later and try to use this item when necessary——

Dreams, plus the possible connection between the "world" and the "Wheel of Fortune" suggested by the "Queen of Swords"...

I always feel that there may be a day when I have to use this prop.

Thinking like this and looking at the watch in his hand, Gao Yuan temporarily relaxed his mind and stopped thinking about props and trials. He just used this watch as a watch. It seemed pretty good——

Because, no matter how you look at it, the more you look at the watch that was given to you by Chengzhong Jadeite, the more you like it.

Therefore, Gao Yuan could not help but observe the watch carefully, and after a while, after careful study, Gao Yuan determined that this watch with a pure automatic mechanical movement turned out to be a super watch with a perpetual calendar function. Complex mechanical watch.

Among them, the number circle that is located at the ten o'clock position on the dial and is inscribed with the circle of the dial, where the hour and minute hands are located, naturally displays the hours and minutes.

In the remaining blank area, there is a separate disk composed of two concentric circles. The inner and outer circles refer to the month and date...

Originally, Gao Yuan thought it was a full-calendar watch because there was no year dial, but now, Gao Yuan suddenly discovered that the starry sky chart on the back of the watch was actually rotating, and this starry sky chart seemed to be used to identify the year.

In this way, the year recognition function means that leap years can be recognized...

So, this is a perpetual calendar watch that can automatically recognize all special year and month sizes!

In addition, there is a circular hollow tourbillon at the six o'clock position of the clock circle, and there is a moon phase disk at the three o'clock position...

An extremely complex and astonishing mechanical structure...

Or "VacheronConstantin"...

Is the real value of a watch with this design really only about 5 million yen as I thought at first?

The current value of this brand's perpetual calendar mechanical watch alone is already around 50 million yen...

And as a real item that carries the prop "world", the description says that the higher the value, the better...

Shirozuka Jade, what kind of watch did you give yourself?

Now, this watch has become my own prop, and there is no way I can give it back to you...

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan always felt that he owed Shirozuka Jade a little -

Or is this the effect she wants?

While he was thinking, Gao Yuan only heard the door of the villa being opened.

Gao Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, turned around and saw that it was Xiao Ai——

"I'm back."

At this time, she was carrying a large bag of snacks and returned to the mansion. Then she said this to Gao Yuan, who was already in the house, deliberately raising her tone. Then she threw the bag of snacks at the entrance and replaced it first. I took off my shoes and walked into the house——

"Bring it in for me."

Faintly, when she walked into the living room, Xiao Ai seemed to see Gao Yuan being a little indifferent, so she gave Gao Yuan such instructions.

"okay……"

To this, Gao Yuan responded like this, got up and went to the entrance, carrying the bag of snacks into the house——

"Buying so many snacks? Are those children coming here to play?"

Seeing that the quantity was large, it didn't look like the amount Xiao Ai would buy in normal times, so he thought about it and asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Ai took a glass of water. She must be a little thirsty, so she drank the water in one gulp, and then simply said:

"The whole class is going to go hiking in the countryside tomorrow, so I prepared some snacks with the children."

"A hike in the countryside..."

In this regard, listening to what Xiao Ai said, Gao Yuan nodded silently, then looked at Xiao Ai's bag of snacks, and then suggested:

"In that case, I'll take you to school tomorrow. It won't be convenient to walk to school with all these snacks, right?"

"OK."

Hearing this, facing Gao Yuan's initiative, Xiao Ai nodded, with a slight smile on her lips, expressing her agreement...

…

Click click click…

As the car made such an unusual noise, the expression of the middle-aged man with an unshaved beard who was sitting in the passenger seat suddenly changed——

Phew.

However, before the man could say anything, there was a clear sound and the vehicle completely stopped on the suburban road——

"No... no gas..."

Suddenly, facing the current situation, the young man who was driving noticed the change in the expression of the man next to him. He was a little scared and nervous, and explained the situation in an anxious tone.

"Out of gas? No way!"

In this regard, after hearing this, the middle-aged man seemed to be a little unbelievable about such a situation and asked.

"Yes...I'm sorry!"

Seeing this, the young man apologized even more anxiously:

"I accidentally forgot to refuel."

Hearing this, with a look of helplessness on his face, the man sighed and said:

"Really...it happened to be at this time...I finally got the news. If I couldn't hurry up, the target might have escaped..."

"sorry!"

Hearing this, the young man became even more flustered. He hurriedly seemed to think of something and said:

"By the way, I saw a tour bus just now. I wonder if I can get some gasoline..."

"Don't refuel your car randomly!"

However, just when the man was trying to get out of the car in a hurry, but couldn't even take off his seat belt for a while, a little boy's voice sounded from the side of the car.

Xun Sheng looked around and saw a man wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and casual clothes. He looked like he was only a first-grade elementary school student. He was standing outside the car and said to the young man——

And he was Conan.

…

"Everyone! Don't leave too far from here during your free time!"

The day after buying snacks, it was the outing day of Didan Primary School. The first-year Class B students, led by the class teacher Xiaolin, set out from the school together, took a tour bus, and went hiking in the mountains in the suburbs. .

Here, under the leadership of the teacher, the students first laid out their picnic mats on an open lawn, and then it was time for free activities. So Teacher Xiaolin told all the students present that he hoped they would be free. When moving, don't go too far away from here.

In response, the students all shouted "Okay" loudly, and then started their activities individually——

"Just eating lunches and snacks is enough to keep me busy! How can I still go to a far away place!"

At this time, faced with Teacher Xiaolin's reminder, Genta, who couldn't wait to open the lunch box and ate the rice balls inside, didn't care about Teacher Xiaolin's words at all -

At this moment, in addition to the lunch boxes filled with rice balls in front of him, there were also piles of snacks piled around Gentai.

"You brought too much!"

The young detective team, with Genta as the center, were spread out together with Genta's picnic mat. Ayumi couldn't help but say this when they saw Genta bringing such a large amount of food.

In this regard, Conan faced this situation and thought about the password he left yesterday. He clearly said to bring 300 to 500 yen to buy snacks, but in the end, Genta still bought such a large amount of snacks, and Conan could only Neng smiled helplessly, and then ate the bento Xiaolan prepared for himself——

However, at this moment, Conan suddenly noticed that on the road not far away, a small car stopped on the side of the road after making a strange noise...

…

"Don't refuel your car randomly!"

Somewhat curious, Conan walked towards the car and wanted to see what was going on with the car. Then Conan heard the young man sitting in the driver's seat seem to say that he wanted to tell him and others riding in the car. He wanted to borrow gas for his tour bus, so Conan couldn't help but remind him:

"This car is an ordinary gasoline car. If you add diesel from a tour bus, it will break down."

Pointing to the car they were riding in, Conan said this.

"Really, even this little brother knows more about cars than you! You can actually get a driver's license like this."

In response, after hearing this, the middle-aged man sitting in the passenger seat couldn't help but said to the young man next to him:

"The same goes for the police special test! If I were your instructor, I would never let you become a detective!"

As he spoke, he seemed a little angry, but more helpless. The middle-aged man complained like this——

"why is it like this……"

Hearing this, seeing the other person talking about him like this, the young man could only respond with an embarrassed expression——

"Huh? They are actually detectives..."

Suddenly, Conan was shocked when he heard their conversation. He was surprised that he didn't recognize their identities as detectives at all. So, with a sincere face, Conan asked curiously:

"Speaking of which, why would Mr. Detective come to a place like this?"

"This, this..."

In response to Conan's inquiry, the young man looked embarrassed and seemed to not know how to reply to Conan——

After all, you can't tell children the content of the mission...

"Conan——"

However, at this moment, on the empty grassland, everyone from the Young Detective Team ran towards Conan, and then everyone seemed to be holding something in their hands, as if they were eagerly heading towards him. Conan shouted.

"Look! There were so many paper airplanes flying just now!"

Running up to Conan, Ayumi held the paper airplane in her hand and said to Conan.

After hearing this, Conan noticed that everyone was holding a paper airplane in their hands——

"Then we opened it and found a crossword puzzle inside!"

Unrolling the paper airplane in her hand, Ayumi said:

"Want to explain it?"

Faced with the situation where paper planes would suddenly fly in such a suburb, and there were crossword puzzles on them, Conan was curious, so he immediately took the unfolded piece of paper and looked at the content on it. ——

I saw that this was a crossword puzzle with a total of nine puzzles, and a total of 36 square spaces that needed to be filled in.

The square spaces are grouped into groups of 6, and each group forms a separate and irregular shape, and in each shape, there is one space that has been filled with kana symbols.

Finally, there is a single column of six square spaces arranged side by side at the bottom, but because this column is not numbered, it does not correspond to the puzzle.

As for the hints to the nine riddles, they have already been written on the side——

"What? These questions are very simple."

Seeing this, after reading the nine puzzles, Conan smiled. He felt that a crossword puzzle of this difficulty was a piece of cake. But soon, Conan noticed something was wrong——

"However, this person is really outrageous. He actually littered the mountains with scraps of paper."

Mitsuhiko expressed his dissatisfaction with the other party's behavior of throwing paper airplanes casually.

In this regard, Xiao Ai on the side reminded the key point of Conan's problem——

"The main problem is down here, there is a name——

"'Maybe he will be killed, and he will win in the mountains.'"

Faintly, Xiao Mian read out the bottom line of small words on the paper. At the same time, this was what Conan noticed was wrong——

However, compared to Conan and Xiao Ai, at this moment, after hearing the name "Yanzhong Chaosheng", the expressions of the two men behind them, who had no choice but to stop here because the car was out of gas, and claimed to be criminal policemen, changed.

"Show me that paper!"

Straightforwardly, the middle-aged man got out of the car first and quickly came to Conan and others. He took the paper in Conan's and others' hands and took a look. Sure enough, he saw the four words "Yamazaka Chaosheng" on it. Chinese characters, and the writing method is correct——

"He is indeed in this mountain!"

With a serious look on his face, the middle-aged man couldn't help but say this

"Who is uncle talking about?"

Hearing this, Conan couldn't help but ask.

"Chaosheng in the mountains..."

In response, the young man subconsciously took out a photo from his pocket and said to the young detective team:

"He is a brutal murderer with a high IQ! We are hunting that guy."

I saw that the photo in the young man's hand showed a man with short hair and a Chinese character face who looked about thirty years old——

"His characteristic is that he sends threatening letters in the form of crossword puzzles. This must be done by him himself! You should go back quickly!"

"Idiot, don't say this to children!"

At this time, when he saw that the young man had taken out the photo and explained it in detail, the middle-aged man couldn't help but yelled at him. Then seeing that the matter had come to this, the man could only look seriously and said to Conan and the others. :

"Don't mention this to anyone else! Go back to your guardians!"

"A murderer..."

In this regard, after listening to what the two of them said, Conan became very serious and became very interested...
