Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 612 Dusk Villa→Golden Villa

"..." Toru Amuro glanced at the cowboy detective and felt that this man's words were a bit exaggerated.

But then I thought about it, after the detective's acquaintances discovered that the detective who went to the "Twilight Villa" for a dinner mysteriously disappeared, they would probably ask the police for help, or look for it themselves.

And now, with so many detectives in the Dusk Annex, their acquaintances can always be added up to a dozen or even dozens. Among these acquaintances, one person calls the police, two people call the police at the same time, three, four... whatever A hundred permutations and combinations are enough, and there are even super.

So in the end, Toru Amuro did not express any opinions on this somewhat bragging statement.

He looked at Jiang Xia, who was wearing a Matsuda shell - Jiang Xia was looking at the cowboy detective with a confused expression.

Toru Amuro then took the initiative to explain:

"There was no need to perform that scene just now, just wait a little longer - Baima used his eagle to send a distress message to the outside, and now the helicopter is almost here."

"Yeah, he didn't tell us earlier, which made us lie on the ground for so long."

Gunda Ikumi dusted himself off and sighed.

She looked at "Kurosawa" who proposed "acting", and then looked at Detective White Horse who concealed information and indirectly contributed to the massacre drama. Her tone was slightly condemning: "Young Master White Horse, do you think acting is fun, so you cooperated?" It’s his.”

...Speaking of which, although Detective White Horse looks elegant and calm, if you look carefully and round up, he is actually still a little kid, and it is entirely possible that he will be attracted by some novel proposals...

"..."

Bai Ma Tan was silent for a moment, carefully wiping the ketchup on himself.

He did find this kind of improvised real-person battle royale somewhat interesting, but, well, of course, this was not the reason why he concealed it.

"I'm sorry to let you participate in such a cruel play." Bai Ma Tan said with a calm face and a gentle expression, but his eyes were slightly wandering. "It's really because Watson was particularly disobedient today. So I wasn't completely sure at the time - I was prepared. It’s always right.”

...The sophistry is quite reasonable.

Gunda Ikumi reluctantly nodded.

…

As the helicopter approached and landed in the spacious house, the rumbling noise became louder and louder.

But after listening for a while, Amuro Toru felt that something was wrong - it seemed that it was not just the noise of the police helicopter, but also some other noises mixed in.

Jiang Xia didn't know much about police helicopters, but he once had an in-depth understanding of the Golden Villa.

In addition, he was paying close attention to his surroundings, so he immediately noticed the abnormality.

——In my impression, the gold watch on the wall, which is so valuable that it can allow ordinary people to live without worries for a lifetime, is not actually the treasure itself, but just a key to unlock the treasure.

When this mechanism that has been hidden for many years is triggered, the entire shell of the Dusk Villa will collapse, revealing the dazzling gold inside.

…

As the vibrations gradually intensified, the detectives quickly realized that the "rumbling" sound was not caused by the helicopter.

"...Earthquake? It seems that the earthquake resistance of this building is good. But it is not safe to stay for a long time. Leave as soon as possible."

A group of people quickly ran towards the exit.

Jiang Xia followed them and planned to take the helicopter.

While looking up at the crumbling building.

But I saw that it had been shaking for a long time without making any progress, not even a piece of the wall had fallen off.

A question mark slowly appeared above Jiang Xia's head.

...The progress of the collapse seems to be much slower than he remembered?

He thought for a moment, then felt like he understood.

——Although it is not clear how the complex science and technology mechanisms in the annex operate, the huge amount of gold mixed in the middle is likely to be a key link. For example, its weight needs to be used to trigger the next step. Mechanisms and the like... However, now, the weight of gold may be a little less than the designer expected.

Jiang Xia looked at the building where the collapse progressed extremely slowly. Until a group of them approached the lobby from the restaurant, only some of the walls were slightly cracked: "..."

Isn't it possible that it won't collapse until the end, and the gold will continue to be hidden inside?

He is already tired of digging...

And since "Uzo" has already appeared here, it is inconvenient to continue to secretly dig up the gold in the boss's old house. Otherwise, if it is exposed, it will be easy for the boss to trick him... In short, since this place is no longer useful, it is better to let the gold If they are piled here aimlessly, it is better to put them to use as soon as possible and turn them into achievements.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia secretly poked the ghosts on her body, planning to let them float around in the mechanism to find a key stress point that was convenient for using puppet clay.

At this moment, there was a sudden snap nearby - a piece of wall finally fell down.

Under the illumination of the dim and swaying wall lamp, the wall glowed with golden light.

The detectives who had already run around the corner failed to see this scene.

But Jiang Xia, who was behind them, and Toru Amuro, who was further behind Jiang Xia, were attracted by the sound of the wall falling and looked over subconsciously.

Then Jiang Xia discovered that Toru Amuro paused slightly - the intelligence officer seemed to be aware of the problem and obviously made some connections after seeing the golden light.

Jiang Xia: "..." It seems that a real "treasure" has been discovered.

He looked back at the wall, kept crossing corners, and asked the ghosts to keep an eye on Toru Amuro.

At the same time, I secretly thought, if next, the eccentric boss only reports to the police and ignores the organizational boss, then when there is no one around, he can come over and say a friendly "Hi, Bourbon~" like Belmode did. if. In this way, Toru Amuro should immediately stop his actions that are not consistent with "bourbon" behavior.

However, just after Jiang Xia turned the corner and his sight was cut off.

Amuro, who was at the end, turned around and looked at where the cracks spread, and then looked at the atrium from the side window. His mind was running rapidly, completely constructing the distribution of the entire annex based on the path he had just taken when searching the annex. Then he suddenly took out the pistol from his arms, put on the silencer, and under the cover of the increasingly louder sound of the building collapsing, climbed out of the wall from the side window, and fired several shots from outside in the darkness.

Then he returned to the corridor as if nothing had happened, quickly ran forward, and followed the team of detectives.

…

As the last person stepped out of the door of the annex, the first ray of sky lit up on the horizon, and the mountains and the annex were illuminated. Everything looked full of hope, as if indicating that this ridiculous "massacre" was over. .

A group of people quickly walked to the open space in the courtyard and boarded the helicopter sent by the police for rescue.

The large helicopter carried the detectives with their own thoughts into the sky and headed towards the city.

At this time, Granny Qianjian, who was close to the window, looked down and suddenly stood up excitedly, clinging to the window as if she had seen something extremely shocking.
