Chapter 265 You have a bright future
The Goblin Bandit Group was once a group of thieves who robbed the rich to help themselves and the poor.
Ten years ago, the Goblins disbanded, and their leader Demon retired with some jewels and built a villa in the suburbs.
This is the building where Jiang Xia and the others are now.
The chief is usually a clock maker. He has a lot of clocks in his villa, some of which he made and some he bought.
He also made some of the jewelry he took away into one of the watches and hid the watch somewhere in the villa.
After the leader's death, the villa was inherited by his granddaughter, Nakamura So.
…
Jiang Xia sat in this villa with a lot of stories, feeling like he had someone above him.
He glanced at the ceiling and realized that his unfortunate granddaughter was now locked in the attic.
——The two men with goatees and middle-parted hair who invited them into the house just now came for the chief's jewelry. In the morning, they broke into the villa and interrogated Nakamura Cao about the whereabouts of the jewelry, but Nakamura Cao knew nothing about it. The two men had no choice but to lock the chief's granddaughter in the attic and go to look for her themselves, intending to kill her after getting the things.
After searching for quite some time, the two robbers did not find any jewelry, but they did find a famous detective who came to their door.
The two men immediately set their sights on Jiang Xia and planned to pretend to be the homeowner and ask Jiang Xia to find where the jewelry was hidden.
Of course, this carries the risk of being discovered by detectives.
However, the man with the goatee and the man with the middle part were not panicking at all. They had guns and hostages - in addition to Nakamura Cao, the two children with Jiang Xia were also very convenient tools that could be used as soon as they were captured.
While the two robbers were planning their fallout, Jiang Xia held the teacup handed to him by Goatee and looked at the murderous aura in them.
Just now when they were in the woods, the ghosts in Jiangxia discovered the murderous aura in the villa.
When they knocked on the door, Goatee saw them and became a little more murderous.
Jiang Xia felt that these two people had great potential - they had already considered killing the sharks before they even had a chance to find the gems. If they really saw the gems, wouldn't they be able to make further progress?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia poked Mist Tengu while taking the snacks.
Mist Tengu was now much smarter than before. It thought for two seconds, then suddenly realized something and punched its palm, then passed through the ceiling and disappeared from Jiang Xia's sight.
After a moment, it turned back and brought news about Miss Nakamura in the attic - she had just been tied up and was still very energetic.
Then there's no need to rush.
Jiang Xia patiently listened to the two bandits in front of him pretending to be cute and well-behaved as they introduced the details.
From the moment they knocked on the door, Toru Amuro and Conan looked thoughtful from time to time and noticed many things that were not right.
But perhaps it was the detective's instinct of "not starting to solve the case until everything is sorted out" that prevailed, and neither of them questioned the man with goatee and the middle-parted man directly. Instead, as the clues increased, they gradually shifted their attention to the mystery in the villa.
Jiang Xia watched from the side and silently added a few notes to the "Detective Habits Observation Notes" in his mind.
Haibara Ai was also watching from the side, silently adding a few notes to the "Jiang Xia Habits Observation Notes" in her mind, since she had nothing to do anyway.
Before she had just arrived at the doctor's house and had a brief chat with Jiang Xia, she thought Jiang Xia was a lazy fish who appeared to be dedicated but actually loved to slack off and just wanted to enjoy the present moment.
But now it seems that it is not entirely true - on the way home he suddenly encountered a puzzle and could not leave until he solved it. Faced with this troublesome matter, Jiang Xia did not show any impatience at all, and even had some hidden happiness... It seems that he really likes solving puzzles.
Thinking of this, Huiyuan Ai thought of Dr. Agasa again. It just so happened that the old man liked to give her some ridiculous puzzles every now and then. Why not record these things in a book and give it to Jiang Xia as a gift along with the tonic...
…
There are indeed many special places in this villa: almost all furniture and decorations have animal elements; the walls and cabinets of the house are filled with clocks, and there is a vertical crack in front of the last digit of all the electronic watches; there is also a round hole drilled in the wall of the study.
After all, it is a villa left behind by an old watchmaker. Among a lot of anomalies, the most worrying thing is the various clocks - every 11 o'clock, the clocks in various places in the villa will sound alarms at the same time, which is deafening.
Also, there is the cuckoo clock in the study.
A cuckoo clock is a special clock that is usually made in the shape of a small house. Every time it chimes, a toy bird pops out of the window of the clock house, making a series of "cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo" sounds before retracting. In short, it is a watch that has both ornamental and practical value.
But the one in the villa is different - it doesn't tell time on the hour, but at noon.
In addition, when the time comes, what pops out of the window is not a cute little bird, but three evil ghosts, each with a letter on its head, from right to left they are R, N, L. The ghosts also make shrill and creepy "squeak" and "squeak" sounds.
Jiang Xia's reaction to the news was indifferent. However, his ghosts were somewhat interested when they heard that there was a ghost in the cuckoo clock. They floated to the side of the clock and gathered together to study it.
When the time came, the clock rang, and a pair of extremely ugly devil triplets suddenly popped out of it - completely different from the bouncy and bouncy ghost babies, the ghosts in the cuckoo clock were of Western realistic style and looked extremely hideous.
The mermaid was holding her chin, studying the clock in a serious manner, when she was caught off guard by three muscle ghosts that pressed close to her face. Her scales exploded in shock.
After coming to her senses, she angrily flapped her tail and chased into the watch, trying to beat up the three innocent ghost dolls. Miyano Akemi pulled it but failed, hesitated for a moment, and had to use the murderous aura that the mermaid had just thrown to make a lala ball, and waved it twice in the direction of the watch - it was a very team spirit.
Although the demons are a bit ugly, it is undeniable that they contain a lot of information.
Conan and Toru Amuro stared at the cuckoo clock, and combined with some spoilers that Jiang Xia had given before, they understood everything in an instant.
"11 o'clock and the animal furniture suggest the lion head ring at the door. The clue given by the cuckoo clock is 'Right' 'Light' 'Night'." Amuro said, "Combined together, it should mean 'at night, shine light on the lion head ring on the right'."
Conan also thought of it. But in order to pretend to be a first-grader, he could only nod silently beside him: I really miss Kudo Shinichi's identity, the evil organization, the evil Gin, the evil stun gun...
When the man with goatee and the man with middle-parted hair heard this, they looked at each other excitedly.
The man with the middle part moved his plastered hand and was about to start demolishing the bridge after crossing it.
The man with the goatee is more careful.
He secretly stopped his companions and greeted the detectives with a smile: "When the night comes, let's try it together. My grandfather is very good at making various mechanisms. When they are activated, the scene must be very spectacular - and we can pay the commission fee."
