Now that the murderer has been caught in the act, the next step is naturally the confession of the murderer. As expected, Ms. Chima also explained her motive for committing the crime. It turned out that this incident was planned by her and the gourmet detective Okami. Okami heard about the treasure and the rumored secret of the Twilight Annex from somewhere, so he spent all his money to buy this annex and tried to find the secret treasure of the Twilight Annex with Chima Kyoudai.
Unfortunately, whether it was due to lack of intelligence or bad luck, the two never found it. In order to buy this villa, Dashang borrowed a lot of money from the bank. He originally thought that he could pay back the money after finding the secret treasure and becoming rich. However, when he saw that the secret treasure could not be found and the repayment date was getting closer, he finally came up with this idea.
It was originally agreed that Qianjian Jiangdai would cooperate with him, but unexpectedly, Qianjian Jiangdai betrayed him and directly used the poison applied on the handle of the cup to kill the unlucky food detective.
Chiken Nozomi did this not just for the treasure, in fact, her father was once an outstanding archaeologist. Decades ago, in order to find the rumored secret treasure, Karasuma Renya invited many people to the Dusk Villa to investigate, including Chiken Nozomi's father.
As a result, no one found out the secret, and Karasuma Renya killed them all - well, Fang Zheng and Conan looked at each other when they heard this.
This method of killing people to silence them over a disagreement is indeed similar to that of the Black Organization.
As for Chima Nozomi, it was not until several decades later that she saw the clues from her father's letters. Although her father had written a letter to report his safety after he went to Karasuma Renya's Twilight Villa, it now seems that those letters had obviously been checked. So Chima Nozomi's father used a needle to poke out another secret letter to tell his daughter the truth, but unfortunately, when Chima Nozomi discovered the truth, she was already old...
Now Chikanjiro has only one wish.
"I hope to solve this mystery, so that even if I die, I will always have peace of mind."
“…”
After listening to Qianjian Jiangdai's confession, everyone was silent for a moment, then Fang Zheng looked at Conan and made a "please" gesture.
He wasn't going to solve any puzzles anyway.
Conan lived up to everyone's expectations and solved the puzzle in full view of everyone. Since there was only a clock in the living room, Conan determined that this was the clue to the riddle. He then turned the hands of the watch a few times according to the prompts. Then the heavy dial fell to the ground, and the paint on the surface fell off, revealing the pure gold dial inside.
However……
"That's it?"
Looking at the pure gold dial in front of her, Qianjian Jiangdai showed a disappointed expression. Not only her, but also others were very depressed at this moment. It is already the 21st century. Although a pure gold dial is indeed a little surprising, it is indeed not enough to be called a "secret treasure".
Of course, considering that this was left by Karasuma Renya's ancestors, it is very likely to date back to the 17th or 18th century. In that era, a pure gold dial could indeed be called a secret treasure.
After all, there wasn't much gold at that time.
"I didn't expect that my father would lose his life just for this thing..."
For Qianjian Jiangdai, this blow was even greater. If the secret treasure was worthy of its reputation, then she would at least be able to feel mentally balanced. But it was just a pure gold dial... what was the use?
However, at this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from outside.
"What's going on?"
“Is it an earthquake?”
Everyone was shocked when they felt the tremor under their feet, but fortunately Japan is a country prone to earthquakes, and everyone is used to it. At this moment, they hurriedly left the annex and quickly evacuated to the open space outside.
The scene before them next stunned them.
Along with violent tremors, the outer wall of the Dusk Villa gradually broke into pieces and fell to the ground, revealing the true structure inside - it was golden, yellow gold!
The entire Dusk Villa is actually made of gold!
"You're lying..."
Seeing this, Xiaolan was stunned.
"Is this villa built with gold? How much gold does it take?"
"It can only be said that you have money and you can do whatever you want."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. It was only the people on Earth who were still interested in so much gold. He had long lost interest in it. There were many metal planets and asteroids in the universe. If Xiaolan was willing, Fang Zheng could even take her to find an asteroid made of pure diamonds, pure gold, pure silver, or pure copper to see for herself...
He has encountered many golden planets the size of the moon. He was amazed at the beginning, but now he is extremely calm.
Apart from saying that the people who built this house were really stupid, Fang Zheng really had no other thoughts.
It's just that the food detective really died unjustly. Such a pure gold villa would be sold for at least tens of billions - of course, Fang Zheng took a glance and was sure that it was not completely pure gold. It should be said that the inside was built normally, and then a layer of gold was piled on the outside, just like an insulation wall, and then another layer was added. Otherwise, after so many years, this mystery would not have been solved until now.
But it was different for the others. Except for Fang Zheng, everyone, including Conan, was completely speechless when they looked at the golden villa.
A villa made of pure gold!
They have only heard of this kind of thing in fairy tales, who has actually seen it!
Even Maori Kogoro's eyes widened at this moment, wishing he could take something from the house and bring it back...
but……
"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?"
Seeing Fang Zheng frowning and thinking while holding the kitten, Conan also moved over.
"name."
"name?"
"This annex is called the Dusk Annex, right? From the looks of it, why isn't it called the Golden Annex?"
"Maybe he's afraid of being discovered. After all, gold is too straightforward to describe."
Xiaolan also heard Fang Zheng's question at this time and gave her own answer, but Fang Zheng thought for a moment.
"I still plan to stay for another day and wait until dusk to see the situation."
After hearing Fang Zheng's decision, no one objected. They were indeed very interested in the name of the Twilight Villa, and now that they knew it was made entirely of gold, they were even more interested. Perhaps the name Twilight Villa had other meanings?
So, everyone stayed in the Dusk Villa for another day and had a good sleep in the Golden Room. After all, this kind of experience is rare in a lifetime, and it would be a waste not to enjoy it once!
At the same time, they also lamented that the gourmet detective was really obsessed. Maybe Mr. Okami originally thought that the so-called secret treasure was a pile of gold, silver, treasures and antiques, and was afraid that others would get a share, so he wanted to kill everyone after solving the secret. But in fact, even if you give it to them, they can't move it away... Of course, if one of them can become Ultraman, it's another matter.
Of course, it is useless to say all this now. The nominal owner of this annex has died. If it were an ordinary ownerless property, it would have been reclaimed by the bank for mortgage. But now it is hard to say about this "Golden Pavilion". Gold is so precious, and this annex is full of gold. If it is put on the gold market, it is enough to cause global gold price fluctuations.
Finally, the sun sets.
It's dusk time.
Fang Zheng was holding the kitten in his arms, standing outside the mansion, looking ahead. Others were standing not far away. Then, the sun slowly set, and then a ray of sunlight shone on the golden roof, and then reflected a dazzling brilliance...
"It's light reflection!!"
Seeing this, Conan's expression suddenly brightened up!
“This is the principle of light reflection!”
"oh?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng immediately understood what Conan meant. He had encountered a scene in the World of Warcraft game before where a door was opened in this way. At that time, the player needed to insert a staff into a map model, and then the light would pass through the gem on the surface of the staff and shine on a certain part of the map model to open the door - this was a tribute to a scene in the movie Indiana Jones, and it was quite impressive to Fang Zheng.
But he didn't expect that there was a similar design here.
"In the atrium!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Conan hurriedly ran towards the atrium, and the others hurriedly followed. When they pushed open the door, they were quickly attracted by the scenery of the atrium.
The entire atrium was full of light, and under the reflection of countless golden lights, it looked like a golden ocean. More importantly, on the ground in the center of the golden ocean, there was a crest.
That's a wing.
Golden wings.
Time passed minute by minute, the sun slowly sank into the horizon, and at the same time, the badge on the ground in the atrium gradually disappeared.
Seeing this, Fang Zheng frowned slightly.
It seems that this is the last clue.
After that, Fang Zheng called the Metropolitan Police Department to report the situation. Upon hearing about the annex built with gold, the bigwigs of the Metropolitan Police Department were also shocked. They hurriedly continued to report to the higher-ups and asked Fang Zheng to guard the scene to prevent irrelevant people from entering. However, the bridge was collapsed by Qianjian Jiangdai and others, and irrelevant people could not get in.
Soon, a helicopter arrived at the scene and completely sealed off the entire villa. The body of the unlucky detective was carried away, and the murderer, Chiken Kyoudai, was also captured. As for how to deal with this golden villa, that was a problem that the bosses above should consider, and it had nothing to do with Fang Zheng.
The most important thing right now is the wing.
After returning home, Fang Zheng immediately discussed the issue of the wings with Conan. The emblem of the Karasuma Renya family is a crow, but the emblem on the ground is a wing, which in itself is very telling.
"This should also be the emblem of a family."
Looking at the photo taken by Fang Zheng in front of him, Conan also had a serious expression.
"What do you think, Mr. Founder?"
"It's possible that Karasuma Renya might just be a clue..."
Fang Zheng looked at the photo with a gloomy expression. He now suspected that his previous thoughts might be wrong.
"Do you remember? Chikan Kyoudai once said that Karasuma Renya found many scholars to solve the mystery, but did he really want the secret treasure? Karasuma Renya is a wealthy man. Of course, this pile of gold may be considered a windfall for ordinary people, but for Karasuma Renya it is just icing on the cake. He is not like the unlucky detective who is so poor that he can't even pay back the bank loan and takes risks. Is it necessary to threaten to kill those scholars to let them help him solve the mystery?"
"So what you mean is that Karasuma Renya is not actually looking for any gold, but wants to find this family crest?!"
"It's possible. And the secret hidden behind this family emblem may be worthy of our attention..."
At this point, Fang Zheng also shook his head. He now realized that his thoughts might be biased. At the beginning, Fang Zheng subconsciously believed that the boss of the Black Organization was the "GM" of this world, but now considering all the evidence, it seems that this is not the case. If Karasuma Renye is really the boss of the Black Organization, then it means that he is also looking for this badge. This means that this badge is the most important one, leading him to the "GM" of this world.
And Karasuma Renya is just a clue.
But no matter what, Vermouth did a good job this time, and it can be regarded as a big step forward for herself!
Next, as long as we find the clue to this badge, the rest is just a matter of time!!
