Pretend To Be a Good Person In the World of Conan - Chapter 360
Hattori Heiji didn’t know what Shiraishi was thinking. Seeing Shiraishi’s hesitation, he thought he was worried that he would fall asleep halfway and fall to his death, so he decisively pushed the person aside.
He himself had no scruples, stuffed the flashlight in his pocket, grabbed the ladder and climbed up.
Shiraishi glanced at the silhouettes of the two people who were walking away, thought about the height of the tower, and then thought about if Hattori Heiji was hit by Nishikawa Suimi, or if he was pushed down the tower by Nishikawa Suimi who was furious after her dream was broken…
How much credit does it cost?
After thinking about it, two people have already crawled on it, even if there are cobwebs, they can’t hang on themselves, and at most wash their hands for a while…
Shiraishi took a deep breath of the fresh air outside, followed and got in, climbing up.
The ladder is 20 to 30 meters high and leads directly to the top spire of the castle.
Climbing to the end, you can see an old wooden door.
Nishikawa Suimei was ecstatic.
This kind of high and hidden place, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be hiding something good.
She pushed open the door, flew into the small room in the tower, and turned on her flashlight to look around.
However, the room was empty, and there was nothing like treasure at all.
Nishikawa Suimei’s gaze finally stopped on the opposite wall.
There is a half-person-high “cabinet door” with exquisite decoration. There is also a bronze-colored metal plaque on it. Some words are engraved on the plaque, but there are too many rust stains, which obscure part of the information.
Nishikawa Suimei glanced at it, and when she saw the keyword “gift” above, she immediately understood.
– The treasure must be in this cabinet!
With a happy face, she rushed over and opened the cabinet door.
However, there was nothing in the “closet”.
Because this is not a cabinet at all, but a window.
It was pitch-dark outside the window, especially gloomy, and it was raining, and the scenery was depressing.
Nishikawa Suimei was stunned.
After several seconds, she gradually regained her senses, and then she escaped from her anger – she was deceived, this is not a place to hide treasures at all!
Ecstasy turned into rage.
At this moment, Hattori Heiji climbed to the top of the passage and stuck his head out from the door.
He had just heard Nishikawa Suimei’s anger, and before he could see the scene in the room, he was suddenly pulled up by the collar.
Nishikawa Suimei roared close to her face: “Liar! Where is my treasure??”
“Who lied to you…” Hattori Heiji was stunned.
After he stood firm, he pulled Nishikawa Suimei’s hand away from his collar: “Since you have been coveting the treasure, you must have remembered the arrangement of the chess in the yard.
“The position of chess is usually black and white, arranged in letters A-H and numbers 1-8. From the position of the knight, looking at the white chess in numerical order, you can interpret EGG·HEAD—’ Reasonable intellectuals’.
“When the gardener introduced us to the portrait of the old man, didn’t he also say that when the wife of this family was alive, he often said that the old man was a ‘reasonable intellectual’, so this code was actually referring to himself.
“And the arrangement of black chess is a ‘G’ rotated 90 degrees clockwise, implying that turning the portrait to the left will reveal the entrance to the treasure – so far, everything here is in line with the old man’s stay. The code that came down. Apart from this, can you think of other places that can satisfy these two conditions at the same time?”
“…” Nishikawa Suimei didn’t really understand it, but he felt that what he said made sense.
Especially the last sentence.
– She put away all the items of the old man that she could find, and tried to find clues from it, but she was unsuccessful.
After careful calculation, it is really the portrait below that is the most suitable.
“Then… where is my treasure?” Nishikawa Suimei was at a loss.
She looked at the bricks on the surrounding walls and suddenly thought, could there be gold bricks hidden here?
…
As soon as Shiraishi climbed to the door, he heard a tinkling movement above his head.
He stuck his head out in confusion, and saw that Nishikawa Suimei was smashing the brick wall next to him with a stone he picked up for no apparent reason.
Hattori Heiji was standing not far from her, also looking puzzled.
– This small room is very empty, there is almost nothing, the treasure seems to have been taken away.
But Nishikawa Suimei’s appearance is really broken, it’s not like she hid the treasure in advance and then acted here again.
Hattori Heiji looked around, his eyes fell on the open window.
He stuck his head out of the window, looked around, and found that there were only ordinary eaves around, and there were no treasure boxes hanging.
So he went back and closed the window to prevent the rain from drifting in. Although there is no treasure here, there are several old books in the corner. The rain comes in too much, and it is easy to damage the books.
While Hattori Heiji slammed the window, he turned to check the books.
If you are an “intellectual”, you may write your own life experience into a book and leave it as a treasure for future generations.
But before that, he saw Shiraishi walk into the house and pass him by.
Hattori Heiji was startled, and immediately retracted his attention from the book~www.mtlnovel.com~ to re-observe what Shiraishi was doing. After forming a temporary team with Shiraishi for a while, Hattori Heiji found that he had become accustomed to this teammate’s unusual behavior. Observation.
Shiraishi stopped in front of the window that Hattori Heiji had just closed.
Heiji Hattori didn’t really care about windows before. He subconsciously felt that since Nishikawa Suimei had just returned from the window and there was no rain on the ground by the window, it meant that it was the window she opened by herself—if there is really a problem with the window, Nishikawa Suimei must have discovered it long ago.
So at that time, he just threw the window and turned away.
Now that Shiraishi went straight to the window, Hattori realized that he might have missed some clues.
He walked to the window, glanced over Shiraishi, and was slightly taken aback.
—This window, compared with this too rudimentary room, looks very delicate. Although it is also dark in color, if you look closely, you can see that there are gilded corners on the edges, like a gift that has not been opened for a long time.
In addition, a small sign was nailed to the wooden window, which seemed to write something.
Seeing Shiraishi standing still, Hattori couldn’t wait.
He took out his handkerchief and stepped forward to wipe off the excess rust.
The sunken font gradually becomes recognizable:
[I want to give the scenery at the top of this castle to those who arrive here first]
“…” Hattori Heiji read the words above, looked at the cute symbol at the end, and twitched his forehead.
Judging by the age of the brand, it does appear to be used to indicate treasure.
But if the “treasure” really is just this…
Hattori Heiji glanced at Nishikawa Simi, who was still knocking bricks one by one next to him, trying to find wealth, and his eyes were quite pitiful.
…but the subtle feel is a little relieved.
