Now that they had caught the culprit in the act, it was time for the culprit to confess. Sure enough, Ms. Chien also confessed her motive. It turned out that the incident was planned by her and the gourmet detective, Hogami. Hogami somehow heard about the secret of the treasure and rumor of the Huanghun Mansion, so he bought the mansion with everything he had and tried to find the secret treasure together with Chien Chien.
Unfortunately, whether it was due to their lack of intelligence or bad luck, the two of them were unable to find it. In order to buy this guesthouse, His Majesty had borrowed a lot of money from the bank. Originally, he thought that after finding the secret treasure, he would be able to repay the loan. However, seeing that the secret treasure was nowhere to be found, and the repayment date was getting closer and closer, he finally came up with this idea.
Chien Chien was supposed to cooperate with him, but he did not expect that she would betray him and kill the unlucky gourmet detective with the poison smeared on the handle of the cup.
Chien Chien did not do this just for the treasure. In fact, her father used to be an excellent archaeologist. Decades ago, in order to find the rumored secret treasure, Umaru Renye invited many people to investigate the Huanghun Mansion, including Chien Chien's father.
In the end, no one found out the secret, and Umaru Renye killed them all — — Well, Fangzheng and Conan looked at each other when they heard this.
This method of silencing witnesses at the slightest disagreement was indeed similar to the Black Man organization.
As for Chien Chien, she only found some clues from her father's letter decades later. Although her father also wrote a letter to report that he was safe after going to Umaru Renye's Huanghun Mansion, it now seemed that those letters had obviously been checked. So, Chien Chien's father used a needle to prick out another secret letter to tell his daughter the truth. Unfortunately, when Chien Chien found out the truth, she was already old …
Now, Chien Chien only had one wish.
"I hope to solve this mystery. That way, even if I die, I can always be at ease."
"… … …"
After listening to Chien Chien's confession, everyone was silent for a moment. Then, Fangzheng looked at Conan and made a "you first" gesture.
In any case, he wasn't going to solve any puzzles.
Conan lived up to everyone's expectations and solved the riddle in front of everyone. Since there was only one clock in the living room, Conan believed that it was the riddle. Then he followed the instructions and turned the hands of the watch a few times. After that, the heavy dial fell and fell to the ground. The paint on the surface peeled off, revealing the pure gold dial inside.
But … …
"Just this?"
Looking at the pure gold dial in front of her, Chikara showed a disappointed expression. Not only her, but the others were also depressed at this moment. It was already the 21st century. Although a pure gold dial was indeed a little surprising, it was indeed not qualified to be called a "secret treasure".
Of course, considering that this was left behind by the ancestors of Umaru Renye, it was very likely that it could be traced 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 back then.
"I didn't expect that my father would lose his life for this thing … …"
For Chikara, this was an even greater blow. If the secret treasure was worthy of its name, she could at least feel better about it. But what was the use of a pure gold dial?
However, at this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound from outside.
"What's going on?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
Everyone was shocked when they felt the trembling under their feet. Fortunately, Japan was a country with earthquakes, so everyone was used to earthquakes. They hurriedly left the guesthouse and quickly evacuated to the open space outside.
What they saw next shocked them.
With a violent tremor, the outer wall of the entire Hun Guesthouse gradually broke and fell to the ground, revealing the real body inside — it was golden, yellow gold!
The entire Hun Guesthouse was actually built with gold!
"This must be a lie … …"
Lan was stunned when she saw this.
"Is this guesthouse built with gold? How much gold does it cost … … "
"I can only say that the rich can do whatever they want."
Fangzheng shrugged. Only an earthling would be interested in so much gold. He had long lost interest in it. There were all kinds of metallic planets and asteroids in the universe. If Lan was willing, Fangzheng could even take her to find an asteroid made of pure diamond, pure gold, pure silver, or pure copper.
He had seen many golden planets the size of the moon. At first, he was amazed, but now he could not be any calmer.
Other than saying that the person who built this house was really stupid, Fangzheng really had no other thoughts.
It was just that the gourmet detective really died unjustly. Such a pure gold guesthouse could be sold for at least tens of billions. Of course, with a glance, Fangzheng was sure that it was not completely pure gold. The inside was built according to normal standards, and the outside was piled with a layer of gold, similar to an insulating wall. Then, another layer was added. Otherwise, it would not have taken so many years to solve this puzzle.
But the others were different. Except for Fangzheng, everyone, including Conan, was completely speechless when they saw the golden guesthouse.
A villa made of pure gold!
They had only heard of this kind of thing in fairy tales. Who had actually seen such a thing!
Even Mouri Kogoro's eyes were wide open. He wished he could knock some of this house with something and bring it back … …
But … …
"What's wrong? Do you have any other questions? "
Conan looked at Fangzheng, who was holding the kitten and frowning in thought.
"Name."
"Name?"
"This guesthouse is called Dusk Guesthouse, right? Why not call it Golden Guesthouse?"
"Probably because they're afraid of being discovered. After all, gold is too straightforward."
Lan also heard Fangzheng's question and gave her answer. But Fangzheng thought for a moment.
"I'm going to stay for another day and wait until Dusk to see how it goes."
No one objected to Fangzheng's decision. They were indeed very interested in the name of Dusk Guesthouse, and now that they knew it was made of pure gold, they became even more interested. Perhaps there was another meaning to the name Dusk Guesthouse?
So, just like that, they stayed in Dusk Guesthouse for another day and had a good sleep in the golden room. After all, this kind of experience was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It would be a waste not to enjoy it!
At the same time, they also lamented that the gourmet detective was really obsessed. Perhaps he originally thought that the so-called secret treasure was a pile of gold, silver, treasures, antiques and the like. He was afraid that anyone who saw it would get a share, so he wanted to kill everyone after he solved the secret. But in fact, even if you gave it to them, they wouldn't be able to move it away … Of course, if one of them could turn into an Ultraman.
Of course, it was useless to say all this now. The nominal owner of the guesthouse was already dead. If it was an ordinary ownerless object, the bank would have taken back the mortgage. But the "Golden Guesthouse" was a different story. Gold was precious, and the gold that filled the entire guesthouse was enough to cause global fluctuations in the gold market.
Finally, the sun was setting.
It was dusk.
Fangzheng stood outside the guesthouse with the kitten in his arms and looked forward. The others were also standing not far away. Then, the sun slowly set. A ray of sunlight shone on the golden roof, reflecting a dazzling brilliance ….
"It's light reflection!!"
Conan's face lit up when he saw this!
"It's the principle of light reflection!"
"Oh?"
Fangzheng immediately understood what Conan meant. He had encountered a scene in World of Warcraft that opened the door like this. At that time, the player needed to insert a staff into a map model, and then the light would shine through the gem on the surface of the staff and shine on a certain place on the map model to open the door. This was a tribute to a scene in the Indiana Jones movie. It left a deep impression on Fangzheng.
But he didn't expect to see a similar design here.
"It's in the atrium!"
As soon as he said that, Conan ran towards the atrium in a hurry. The others hurriedly followed. When they pushed the door open, they were soon attracted by the scenery of the atrium.
The entire atrium was filled with colorful lights. Under the reflection of countless golden lights, it looked like an ocean of gold. More importantly, on the ground in the middle of the ocean of gold, there was a coat of arms.
It was a wing.
A golden wing.
Time passed by. The sun slowly sank into the horizon. At the same time, the coat of arms on the ground of the atrium gradually disappeared.
Fangzheng frowned slightly when he saw this.
It seemed like this was the last clue.
After that, Fangzheng called the Metropolitan Police Department to report the situation. Hearing that the mansion was built with piles of gold, the bigwigs of the Metropolitan Police Department were shocked. They reported to the higher-ups and requested Fangzheng to guard the scene to prevent unrelated people from entering. However, the bridge was destroyed by Seiji Senma and the others, and unrelated people couldn't enter even if they wanted to.
Soon, helicopters arrived at the scene and sealed off the entire mansion. The unlucky detective's corpse was carried away, and the murderer, Seiji Senma, was captured. As for how to deal with this golden mansion, it was a problem for the bigwigs and had nothing to do with Fangzheng.
The most important thing right now was that wing.
After returning home, Fangzheng immediately discussed the problem regarding the wing with Conan. The Umaru Renye family's emblem was a crow, but the emblem on the ground was a wing. This itself was very obvious.
"This should be the emblem of a certain family."
Looking at the photo taken by Fangzheng in front of him, Conan had a serious expression on his face.
"What do you think? Mr. Fangzheng? "
"It's possible that the Urumaru Lotus is just a clue …."
Fangzheng looked at the photo with a similarly gloomy expression. He now suspected that his previous thoughts might have been wrong.
"Do you still remember? Senran Katamori once said that Umaru Renye had found many scholars to solve this mystery, but did he really want the secret treasure? Wu Wan Renye was a rich man. Of course, this pile of gold might be a windfall for ordinary people, but for Wu Wan Renye, it was just icing on the cake. He's not like that unlucky detective who couldn't even pay the bank loan. Why would he take the risk to kill those scholars and force them to help him solve this puzzle? "
"So what you're saying is,
Umaru Renzo wasn't looking for gold, but this family emblem?! "
"That's possible. The secret hidden behind this family emblem may be the one that we really need to pay attention to …."
Speaking of this, Fangzheng shook his head. He now found that his thinking might have been wrong. At first, Fangzheng subconsciously thought that the boss of the Black Man Organization was the "GM" of this world, but now that all the evidence had been gathered, it seemed that this was not the case. If Umaru Renye was really the boss of the Black Man Organization, it meant that he was also looking for this emblem. This also meant that this emblem was the most important thing, the one that would lead him to the "GM" of this world.
As for Umaru Lotus, it was just a clue.
But no matter what, Belmond did a good job this time. He had taken a big step forward!
Now, as long as he found the clue of this emblem, the rest was only a matter of time!
