Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

At this moment, Longye carefully examined the man's arm, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

What era are we living in? Still playing those old tricks of hiding guns in bandages?

Do you think you're the Desert Tiger?

Upon seeing the two men, Longye confirmed his guess.

No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw the letter.

How could I not feel anything?

Perhaps it was because of the cappuccino he drank with dinner during his vacation in his previous life, but one night he just couldn't fall asleep.

After tossing and turning in bed for two hours, he reluctantly turned on his phone, intending to look at something to hypnotize himself.

He accidentally clicked on Detective Conan and started watching this episode.

At first, everything was normal.

The bright scenery, the lighthearted music, the cute animal clock, the two seemingly silly brothers... everything was so peaceful.

Just as he was dozing off, Conan walked up that damned staircase.

On the stairs, there was a tightly closed wooden door. After trying for a while, Conan found that the door could not be opened.

Just then, Conan noticed a small hole in the door and immediately peered into it out of curiosity.

Inside the small hole, a round eye is watching Conan...

This scene caused Longye's half-open eyes to widen instantly, and a chill ran straight to his brain.

On a summer night, he shivered in bed.

The sleepiness I had finally managed to muster vanished in that instant.

That day, he couldn't sleep at all...

For him, this episode was the real childhood nightmare... um...

Okay, actually it's an adult trauma...

Chapter 148 The Shadow Vanishing Technique

Thinking of this, Longye stared intently at the two men in front of him.

They are not the so-called "Nakamura Misao" at all, but remnants of the Gale Goblin theft gang.

The real Miss Nakamura Misao has been tied up and is currently in a room on the second floor.

The eye that Conan saw in the original story belonged to Ms. Nakamura Misao.

……

At the invitation of the two, Longye and his group entered the living room.

The living room has two walls of wooden cabinets, on which are displayed a large number of clocks of various kinds.

It's worth mentioning that almost all of these clocks, living room furniture, and tableware feature various small animals.

These adorable little animals instantly captured Xiaolan's heart.

She happily stepped forward and began to examine the small animals on the clock one by one.

A moment later, the slightly overweight man came in carrying several plates of sliced ​​yokan (sweet bean jelly).

"You must be shocked, right? Our late grandfather loved all animals. He often said that animals were better than humans who constantly lie to satisfy their desires."

Upon hearing this, Longye looked at him in surprise.

I thought to myself, "Good heavens, how can you say such things with such a high-sounding attitude? Aren't you lying to us right now to satisfy your own desires?!"

After making a few complaints, Ryūno picked up the knife and fork on the table and cut the yokan into small pieces. The next second, he forked one of the pieces and put it in his mouth.

Immediately, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

I must say, this yokan is quite sweet—sweet but not cloying!

Seeing Ryuno's satisfied expression, Ran and the others stopped their tour and curiously walked to the dining table, trying out the yokan just like Ryuno.

The next second, everyone's faces showed a happy expression.

Just as everyone had eaten a few pieces of yokan (sweet bean jelly), the man with bandages walked into the living room carrying tea.

Seeing this, Longye and the others immediately continued eating yokan with strong tea, while the two men took the opportunity to tell everyone about the strange phenomena inside the villa.

Soon after, in a joyful atmosphere, everyone finished their yokan (sweet bean jelly).

Longye picked up a napkin and elegantly wiped his mouth, then walked behind the two "clients" amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd.

Then, Longye smiled politely at the two men. Although the two brothers were puzzled, they returned Longye's smile.

Just then, Longye raised his right hand.

"Bang, bang"

With two muffled thuds, the two brothers lost consciousness and fell straight off their chairs to the ground.

This scene left Kogoro Mouri and Conan dumbfounded.

"You, you, you! This..."

The two rushed forward to check on the condition of the "client" brothers.

After confirming that the two were completely unconscious, Uncle Mori glared at them and said, "Kid! What are you doing?! Why did you knock them out?!"

Conan, who was standing to the side, was also puzzled, but he did not look at Ryuno. Instead, he lowered his head and thought about it.

In his memory, although Longye was very cunning, he never did anything meaningless.

He must have discovered something to knock out these two clients!

The question is, what exactly did he discover? And what did he overlook...?

After listening to Uncle Mori's words, Tatsuno bent down and removed the bandage from the man in red's arm.

A pistol came into view.

Upon seeing the pistol, Uncle Mori's previously angry face instantly froze.

"Uncle, please tie these two up first. They are not the real clients."

After saying that, Longye took Xiaolan's hand and led her to the second floor of the house.

Uncle Mori stared silently at the two men on the ground and nodded blankly.

After climbing the stairs to the second floor, Longye hammered open the wooden door, and a sliver of light appeared in the originally dark room.

A bound woman appeared before Longye and his companion.

Seeing the woman's predicament, Xiaolan immediately went over to untie her ropes and removed the tape from her mouth.

As soon as the tape was removed, the woman said anxiously, "Those two thugs have guns!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan glanced at Longye beside her and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, the thugs have been subdued by us."

"Yeah…"

Soon after, everyone gathered in the living room.

The real "Miss Nakamura" began to tell everyone the whole story.

Based on her words and the information and materials in the room, the group gradually pieced together the whole story.

Miss Nakamura Misao's grandfather, "Izubuchi Monjiro," should be the leader of the Gale Fairy Theft Group.

The two people tied up on the ground were members of the theft ring, and the strange gazes that Ms. Nakamura felt came from these two.

Their purpose in coming here is probably to search for some treasure.

After listening to everyone's analysis, Ms. Nakamura nodded and accepted the facts.

At this moment, the two men who were tied up on the ground suddenly showed signs of waking up.

Amidst the strange looks from the crowd, Longye walked to the two of them and once again made them "fall asleep".

The air in the living room immediately became still.

Seeing the atmosphere inexplicably quiet down, Ms. Nakamura Misao spoke up to break the silence.

"Could all those strange phenomena in the villa be a mystery related to the treasure?"

Just as Uncle Mori was about to reply, he suddenly heard Conan's voice from inside the study: "Everyone, come quick!"

Upon hearing this sound, everyone immediately headed towards the study.

Following the direction Conan pointed, everyone saw that the clock on the wall had "spit out" three goblin monsters.

The three goblins have the letters "L", "N", and "R" marked on their heads.

This scene immediately aroused Conan's curiosity, and he jumped around the room, observing everything.

Seeing this, Longye did not disturb him, but led everyone back to the living room.

"Ms. Nakamura, I have a general understanding of the situation."

"Since your goal is to become a mystery novelist, it would be better if you solved the mystery in this villa yourself."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Nakamura hesitated, "But this riddle seems a bit difficult for me..."

Longye smiled and waved his hand: "Uncle Mori has been subtly reminding you. The electronic clocks in the house will all ring around 11:00, and there is a scratch after 110 on all the electronic clocks."

This is the biggest clue: if you read this number as words...

And those three letters from before, they can probably be combined with this number~

Upon hearing Longye's words, everyone present lowered their heads in thought.

The next second, Ms. Nakamura realized something and exclaimed, "The king of beasts! The lion!"

Hearing this, Ryuno smiled and then looked at Uncle Mori: "Uncle, is this all you wanted to say to Miss Nakamura?"

"Mmm, mmm...that's right! These are it, hahaha!"

Chapter 149 First Impression: A stupid guy must be an idiot.

After understanding the meaning of the numbers on the digital clock, the group walked to the entrance of the villa.

Looking at the lion statue on the door, Ms. Nakamura pondered the meaning of the remaining three English letters once again.
