Conan's I'm really not a model worker in a winery

Chapter 190 The Dusk Villa-Devil

Gin thought for a long time, took out the notebook and pen in his trouser pocket, and copied the puzzle again.

It seems that this puzzle was originally placed in the living room in the hope of being discovered...

It seems that the owner of the annex hopes that others can help solve this mystery.

"...The previous direction should be correct."

Gin wrote and drew in the notebook: stick man, stick castle, stick king...

It seems that this puzzle should be as guessed just now, the main point of action is on the only clock.

But the problem is...

"That clock was probably installed later."

Gin took the copied puzzle and walked to the only restaurant with a clock. He checked around Vodka and the other members to see if they had put away their things, and then looked at the wall clock.

He had already dismantled the clock just now.

This clock is equivalent to the starting point of the mechanism, and the whole thing is fixed on the wall... But Gin found that there were traces of old age at the connection between the mechanism and the clock.

Gin looked at the wall clock that he had set back to the normal time, dragging his chin and thinking: "What if it's not a clock?"

If the puzzle is really just a mechanism, the "Devil Comes to the Castle" is really superfluous...

Of course, if you want to make the puzzle story-telling, then just say two things.

But even after adding this sentence, Ginjiu didn't feel that the story was complete.

"Ignoring the wall clock, if this is describing a fact..." Gin decided to let his thoughts fly, "When two people looked at the night sky, a major change occurred. The owner of the family abandoned the family with important things.

After leaving, the wife probably felt that she had made some mistake, and then all the guards at home committed suicide..."

Um……

It seems like they are used at the same time?

After hearing that Kaito still couldn't figure it out for a long time, Gin simply said: "Kaito, Noah, check the establishment time of the Dusk Annex."

"Ah? Oh, okay..."

Maybe we can judge something from the time.

After Gin left the restaurant, he returned to the living room.

Before entering, Gin could see through the moonlight that the colors on the carpet were slightly different.

"It seems that people were dead everywhere here at that time." Gin frowned slightly, "There are no bullet marks on the wall. Were they all cut with swords?"

Thinking about it, Gin was about to step into the room, but suddenly paused.

This blanket...

Why is it only available in the living room?

Gin suddenly squatted down and tried to push away the edge of the blanket, but encountered a resistance.

His eyes darkened, and with a little more force on his hands, he grabbed part of the blanket...

The moment he lifted the blanket, a stench poured into Gin's nostrils, and he was so shocked that he immediately put the blanket back on him.

When he stood up again, the expression on Gin's face was still a little uncertain.

"This villa..."

Was that blanket put on before the blood was completely cleaned?

It stinks!

"Uncle Blade, I didn't find the exact time...but I guess it was after the 1960s."

Kaito's voice was one step ahead of Noah.

In some aspects, Kaito's speed of checking information is slightly faster than Noah's.

This answer was not surprising to Gin, "After all, this is a British-style building. It was about that time. Isn't there even a time range?"

"Hmm... Some people seem to speculate that it was before the 1980s, right? There is really no clear explanation on the Internet."

"...Forget it, anyway, this house should be a hundred years old."

Gin rubbed his eyebrows.

After all, that person is already over 100 years old. Even if the house is not his, it will definitely take a certain amount of time to inherit it.

'Then if the riddle tells the truth, it should have happened before that person...'

Gin looked at the carpet and had an unfounded guess in his mind.

Could it be that the 'King' who absconded back then escaped here?

Before that one killed those who came here, could someone have already eliminated a group of people who knew the secret?

In such a deserted area, it is possible for someone to kill someone and bury their body without being discovered for decades.

"...Kaito." Gin suddenly said, "Do you have a diagram of the internal structure of the Dusk Annex... or a similar building?"

Kuroba Kaito paused and said, "As for the annex building, I can only find the exterior scenes shot in the past, but I do have drawings of that type of building."

"So if you have something very important that you want to hide without being discovered, but also want to leave it to future generations, where do you think it might be hidden?"

"this……"

Kuroba Kaito wondered if Gin was deliberately trying to embarrass him.

When Gin asked this, he suddenly paused.

After a moment of silence, Kuroba Kaito said weakly: "Um, Uncle Blade, are you making things difficult for me?"

"...No, I have some ideas, so I'll hang up first." Gin took a deep breath, "You can fix the clock mechanism next time you come here."

"Ah? Wait, uncle——"

‘Du~’

Gin put away his phone, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

He immediately cleaned up the traces he had left here, climbed out of the window, and climbed up to the roof.

——The Dusk Villa is surrounded by four sides, with the middle space left vacant as a garden.

Looking down from the roof, Gin can directly see the fountain pool in the central garden.

"Two travelers looked up at the night sky..."

Gin whispered the first sentence of the puzzle, jumped deep, and landed firmly on top of the fountain.

The water in the pool must not have been updated for a long time, and the entire water in the pool is somewhat eutrophic.

Gin looked up at the clearing night sky.

"The devil has descended on the castle..."

Gin stared intently at the pool of stagnant water in the pool around the fountain, hesitating whether to take action.

After a while, he sighed: "That's all, if I don't go to hell, who will!"

Suddenly, Gin gritted his teeth, took off his gloves, dropped them to the edge of the pool, and quickly started groping in the pool.

But after groping around, I found nothing but a leaky lid.

Gin: "..."

Did he guess wrong?

The clean hand scratched his hair, and Gin's expression fell.

Yes, if it were that simple, the unscrupulous boss would have been found long ago...

However, Gin was a little reluctant.

"Why don't you try draining the water?"

With the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse, Gin removed the plug that was used to block the drain hole - not to mention, it was still plugged very tightly.

A pool of water empties quickly.

But Gin only saw the pitted pool tiles that had been demolished.

Gin: "..."

It seems that this pool has been turned over a long time ago.

Thinking that he had done useless work for a long time, Gin sighed, a little annoyed, and accidentally put a little force on his hand, trying to put the lid back.

But unexpectedly, the leaking plug that he held suddenly broke!

Gin was stunned by the broken stopper: "...this time?"

He blankly lifted up the metal piece that had fallen off the leaking plug, but suddenly found that there seemed to be something inside?

Gin quickly crushed the entire stopper and found that there was actually a small roll of leather paper stuffed inside!

Moreover, it is fixed with bamboo sticks, and the width of the rolled leather paper is less than five millimeters.

"I'll go, I can really hide..."

This unexpected surprise was so unexpected that Gin was a little unable to react - it seemed that even one person could not remove the stopper.

And when he saw the content in the scroll, his pupils narrowed suddenly.

"What is this?!"
