On the other side, Hanyu Qing'an spent a long time walking around in the huge annex alone, trying to find a clock to try, but he couldn't find one after searching for a long time. However, the hard work paid off, and he finally found one in the restaurant.
The fireplace behind the clock is quite large, and it looks like it can hide many mechanisms.
Hanyu Qing'an nodded with satisfaction, stepped forward and moved the pointer with his hand, turning it around randomly a few times, but nothing happened.
He touched his chin, a little suspicious, "That shouldn't be the case... Is there a fixed way to turn? Oh, trouble... I hate the Riddler the most."
Halfway through the cheating, as if he was in arrears, Hanyu Qingan took a photo of the clock with great difficulty, then thought about the wording, and sent an email to Conan.
[The puzzle may be related to this, you can use it as a reference. 】
After Conan received the email, he felt a flash of lightning flash through his mind, and he figured it all out in an instant. However, after guessing the answer to the riddle, he was speechless.
Reply:
[…Are you teasing us on purpose? I think you already know the answer to the mystery, right?]
Hanyu Qing'an didn't know why after reading it, but he also knew that his prompt was a bit suspicious of cheating, so he replied:
[I don’t know the answer to the mystery, but after divination, I found that it might have something to do with clocks, and there is something obviously wrong with this watch in so many rooms in the entire annex.
So, do you know what the answer is?】
Conan breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that the Onmyoji was taking care of his and Hattori's emotions and deliberately gave them a chance to return the favor.
That's fine since it's not.
However, I had forgotten that Onmyoji knew divination. It seems that not only does the other party have an advantage over the detective in solving murder cases, but they are also not on the same starting line when it comes to solving puzzles. Alas...
Conan shook his head, got rid of the bad mood, and replied seriously:
[The first sentence of the puzzle, two travelers looking up at the night sky, refers to turning the hour and minute hands of the clock to point directly upward at the zero point at the same time.
The next step is related to the blood-stained playing card you were dealt before.
The king, princess, and soldiers in the puzzle refer to the three cards k, q, and j in the playing cards respectively, and the treasure is the diamond, the holy grail is the heart, and the sword is the spade.
In other words, it refers to the three cards: K of Diamonds, Q of Hearts and J of Spades.
You only need to move the minute hand of the clock in sequence according to the direction the characters are facing and the numbers represented on these three cards, and then you should be able to trigger the mechanism.】
Hanyu Qing'an smiled after reading it. It was indeed a matter of technique. As expected of Conan, his reaction was so fast. It would be a pity to use this brain to go to elementary school.
Hanyu Qing'an put away his mobile phone and followed Conan's instructions, turning the minute hand on the clock first 13 spaces to the left, then to the left 12 spaces, and finally to the right 11 spaces.
Because there are no subdivisions for minutes on this watch, only twelve Roman numerals for hours, there is no ambiguity.
After Hanyu Qing'an successfully completed the operation, the clock fell down on the spot and clinked at his feet.
Hanyu Qing'an was stunned. Is this... the mechanism like this? Why does it seem wrong to remember...
But before he could think about it, the ground began to shake. The last time he was at Kasaka's house, the mechanism was similar. After it was activated, the ground shook, so Hanyu Kiyosu didn't pay much attention.
However, the vibration lasted for a long time, and not only did it not stop, but it also got bigger and bigger. Hanyu Qing'an couldn't help but feel a little guilty after all. Could he have damaged someone else's villa?
Is this actually a self-destruct program?
Seeing the things on the wall and table in the room starting to fall down, as if they were really about to collapse, Hanyu Qing'an comforted himself, maybe it was just an earthquake?
No matter what it was, it was not suitable to stay here any longer. Hanyu Qingan opened a portal and ran back to the courtyard. After calming down a little, he opened the door again and entered the courtyard of Karasuma's house as if nothing had happened.
Whenever big things happen, it's important to stay calm.
Hanyu Qing'an stepped out calmly, and the next moment, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
He didn't have time to look at Toru Amuro and the others, who seemed to be a bit amiss in front of the annex, and his eyes were completely attracted to the annex itself.
Under the bonfire in the courtyard, the building called the Dusk Annex is shining with a dazzling light, a dazzling golden color.
This is the only color left in the entire annex, and everything you see is gold!
Toru Amuro and Bermod also noticed Hanyu Qingan. The two of them quickly pretended that nothing happened, let Vodka let go of Kamel, and came together. With shock and confusion at the sudden change, they asked Hanyu
Qing'an seeks answers.
Hanyu Qing'an immediately showed an expression of having everything under control, with a smile, and said unhurriedly:
"As expected, this should be the so-called treasure. I have to say, even I can't help but be a little surprised."
Belmode was really shocked at this time. She originally only used the treasure as a cover to temporarily hold off the Onmyoji and prevent him from doing bad things. She never expected that the legend of the treasure turned out to be true!
And...it's so real! It's all real gold!
If they had discovered the money earlier, they would not have to work hard to rob banks outside, nor would they have to scheming and fighting every day to get the best of everything...
"Miss Wynyard?" Hanyu Qing'an reminded.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I was really, really surprised. I lost my composure for a moment. I'm really sorry." Belmode was a little incoherent. She really didn't know what to do.
"You don't have to worry about your debt now, right?" Hanyu Qing'an asked with a smile.
Belmod nodded blankly. Indeed, with so much gold, what kind of debt can't be repaid, the federal national debt?
It was obviously just a pretense, but in the end the spare tire turned into a regular one. Now that he has the money, Gin's ambition no longer seems so illusory.
He should be very happy, right?
…
Gin was very unhappy now. He had just lost his footing when the earth was shaking, and Shuichi Akai seized the opportunity and stabbed him in the eye, causing him to lose half of his vision on the spot.
Next, he was naturally pushed to the ground without any resistance.
As for Chianti and Cohen, who arrived late, they could not make any waves when faced with Shuichi Akai, who had hostages in hand.
However, faced with the sudden change in the annex, Akai Shuichi was also a little distracted. He pressed one knee on Gin's lower back, pinched his throat with his hand, and looked at the golden villa below.
Cohen and Chianti next to him, and even Gin who was under him, couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the situation below.
After a long time, the four of them came to their senses. Akai Shuichi didn't say a word and actually let go of Gin.
"If such a big thing happened, the president will definitely ask about it. Our absence will be known soon. Let's go back first."
