Chima Kazuyo was taken aback. "I hadn't thought of that. What? Your eagle is dead?"

She thought for a moment and said, "There are many crows in the forest surrounding this villa. It is said that the wealthy Karasuma Renya once kept them here. He loved crows very much, and perhaps they killed him."

Crow vs. Eagle?

After careful consideration, Bai Ma thought it was unlikely.

These are not even in the same league, okay?

Chi Chufeng led everyone to the restaurant without saying a word, but simply pointed to the clock on the road.

Those present were all 177 detectives or master thieves, who followed Chi Chufeng's finger to the clock with thoughtful expressions.

Two travelers, hurrying along, gazed up at the celestial phenomena that night.

Suddenly, a thunderbolt flashed through everyone's minds.

So that’s it!

"The first line of the code, 'Two travelers in a hurry look up at the sky at night,' refers to the hour and minute hands on this screen."

"Since it's about looking up, then the hour and minute hands should both point to the zero o'clock position at the same time."

"The king, queen, and soldier in the code actually refer to K, Q, and J."

"Simply move the pointer according to the orientation of the faces on the cards."

"First, rotate 13 degrees to the left."

"Then turn 12 marks to the left."

"Finally, turn right 11 marks."

"Look, the pointer is moving by itself!"

To everyone's horror, the pointer on the wall suddenly began to rotate, exactly in the order they had just described.

This was, of course, the power of Chi Chufeng's will.

Chapter 483 The Terrifying Statue and Bones Underground

Each time the clock is turned a mark, a crisp, solid "click" sound comes from its internal mechanism, like a key that opens a door to an unknown world.

Click, click, click

The sound of mechanical transmission became more and more consistent, and everyone could clearly hear that a complex mechanism was being activated behind the wall.

This treasure... can't be small!

As the hour hand reached the correct position, there was a sudden click, and the clock, which was originally fixed to the wall, instantly fell off and rolled to the ground.

A dark hole was visible behind the wall, from which came the sound of mechanical devices operating.

The strange rumbling sound soon echoed throughout the entire villa, even accompanied by a slight tremor in the ground.

The last line of the code... The earth changed color!

"What happened?"

Kaito Kid looked completely bewildered as he surveyed the surrounding walls.

Others also showed varying degrees of shock, unsure of what the so-called treasure actually meant.

"Let's go, the entrance is in the courtyard."

Chi Chufeng said something and walked towards the door first.

The group arrived outside the building, where in the very center of the courtyard was a dried-up fountain.

It has now become a huge hole, revealing a staircase leading to the dark underground.

The steps led to a dark underground world, and a chilling aura swept over them, making everyone hesitate about whether to continue exploring.

However, Akatsuka Kaze had already walked down, and Senma Kazuyo followed behind without any fear.

At her age, she has nothing to be afraid of.

Gunda Ikumi and Kaito Kid quickly followed.

It's safer to stay by Chi Chufeng's side than on the ground.

Harufumi Mogi and Saguru Hakuba exchanged a glance, and unable to resist the allure of the truth, they descended the steps.

As they stepped onto the stairs, their bodies enveloped in darkness, everyone could feel the eeriness and dampness of the place.

Everyone turned on their flashlights, adding some light to the surroundings, but the illumination range was very limited; visibility was completely reduced to about five meters.

On both sides are pitted gray walls.

After descending several dozen steps, we arrived at a platform.

Everyone immediately stopped in their tracks.

Before me lay countless skeletons, covering the entire platform.

There appeared to be at least a thousand people, or even more, too many to count.

In the center of the platform stood a huge black shadow, as if it absorbed all the light.

Everyone turned their flashlights up to the maximum and shone them on the statue, only to discover that it was actually a statue tens of meters tall.

A statue shaped like a raven, with its wings folded and its head lowered, appears to be in a sleeping posture.

The statue is so lifelike that every single black feather on its body is clearly visible, making it look almost real.

As everyone marveled, Chi Chufeng pointed in a certain direction.

He said to Senma Kazuyo, "Your father's remains and belongings are there. Take them, and my request will be complete. Be quick, we don't have much time left."

Chima Kazuyo paused for a moment, then immediately ran over.

Although she is already this old, she is still agile.

She trampled on many dry bones along the way, but she didn't care.

Arrive at the place pointed out by Chi Chufeng.

She lowered her head, and tears suddenly streamed down her face.

The skeleton lay on the ground with its hands on its chest. Between the skeleton's fingers, a black and white photograph could be seen—a family photo of three.

The person in the photo is someone Chima Kōdai is very familiar with.

Those were her parents and herself.

"Father!"

Senma Kōdai cried as she reached out her hand.

As she touched it, the photo shattered into pieces, and the skull broke apart.

"Lord Akatsuki!" Senma Kōdai turned around with a pleading expression.

Chi Chufeng waved his hand, and the entire skeleton was enveloped by an invisible force, soaring into the air and disappearing into the void.

“Go back and find a coffin, then I’ll give it to you.”

"Thank you, Lord Chichu!"

Chima Kazuyo was very grateful. She bent down and picked up a handbag, which, if she remembered correctly, was also her father's heirloom.

"It seems that the rumors about the auction are probably false."

Suddenly, Hakuba Saguru spoke up from the side.

"What's going on here?"

Looking at the skeletons around them, everyone felt a strong curiosity about what had happened here.

Chi Chufeng waved his hand.

A dreamlike realm rose from the underground space, but there was no sound.

One by one, human figures descended the steps behind them.

Most of them were scholars, but there were also quite a few men in black who used guns to force the scientists to continue their exploration.

These illusory figures came to the platform, where there were also skeletons. They stepped on the skeletons and came to the center, surrounding the statue.

Suddenly, the statue moved, and darkness rapidly spread, engulfing the illusion.

The illusion vanished because it was so long ago; these are the only images that remain here.

Everyone's gaze couldn't help but turn to the raven statue in the center.

"Huh? Was the statue's head... raised just now too?"

"I'm surprised," Kaito Kid asked.

Everyone shone their flashlights over.

Sometime later, the raven statue's head had been raised, but its eyes remained closed.
