Chi Chufeng glanced at Conan, who was deep in thought, and led everyone away from the North Hall to the Central Hall of the Wild Bull.
The searchlights outside were still scanning the area, which was quite concerning.
The riddle will be revealed at 9 PM tonight, and the challenge period is only 24 hours, which means until 9 PM tomorrow...
There seems to be some deeper meaning behind this.
If the code is related to time, then the significance of announcing it at 9 PM is that everyone can wait until sunset to activate the security system...
Ai walked up to Chi Chufeng and took his hand. "You already know the answer, don't you?"
Akatsukaze chuckled and pinched Ai Haibara's cheek. "Hey, why don't you use your brain a little?"
Turning around, I saw the clock's figure flash by behind me.
"Let's go check out the Bull's Den first," Genta called out from the side.
Walk through the long corridor and go up to the central high ground. Through the window, you can see that the giant bull is still the same as before.
"It's still a bit scary to look at again!"
Ayumi dared not look directly at the bull, but she was also eager to solve the mystery, so she could only hesitate and hide behind Akatsuka.
On the contrary, Genta's competitive spirit was aroused, and he climbed up the cow's leg with a thud.
"This cow is so special, there must be something... Damn, it's so slippery, if only there was a ladder!"
"Genta, can you be careful?"
Mitsuhiko stood dejectedly beneath the bronze statue, looking out towards the East Building.
"But then again, isn't that East Wing suspicious? They say no one is allowed to approach it... Maybe the mystery is just a cover, and the treasure is actually inside the East Wing."
“That’s hard to say,” Ai said, noticing that Chi Chufeng was keeping an eye on the outside. She walked to the bronze bull statue with her hands behind her back. “Since it’s a challenge about the right of succession, there’s no reason for them to joke about the heir…”
Chapter 593 Yuriko Matsuzaka happily
Ai looked up at the bronze statue as it slowly adjusted its position: "When the horns on the bull's head disappear and the tail becomes the head... it fits quite well from this position. In that case... is it a Western angel?"
Ayumi exclaimed excitedly, "You're so amazing, Ai!"
“But,” Mitsuhiko glanced furtively at Matsunaka Yuriko and weakly interjected, “I still think the East Mansion is the most suspicious… What do you think, Akashi-nii?”
"East Pavilion? Wait a minute..." Genta suddenly slipped and, startled, clung to the bronze statue's tail. "Help, help me, Brother Akachu!"
"Really..."
Chi Chufeng withdrew his gaze from outside and helplessly picked up Yuan Tai.
"Alright, I've already checked. There's no mechanism on the bull's horns. Besides, the saying 'the horns disappear from the bull's head and the tail becomes the head' has absolutely nothing to do with the bull's horns hiding something."
"Where do we go now?" Mitsuhiko asked expectantly.
“We’re not going anywhere,” Chi Chufeng decided. “Everyone should go back and rest now, and we’ll wait until the protection system 880 is deactivated during the day before we take any action.”
"Huh?" Mitsuhiko looked disappointed. "But..."
"Mr. Clock," Conan called out directly outside, "just in case, shouldn't you at least explain the security measures here to us first?"
“I’m sorry,” the clock emerged from behind a pillar, “while it is our duty to protect your safety, I cannot disclose the specifics of the security system.”
"Isn't that your responsibility too?"
Chi Chufeng shook his head.
Not telling outsiders about the security system is fine, but it's far too dangerous for them to come here to solve the mystery.
Fortunately, he's there, able to take care of everyone at any time.
In the North Building bedroom, despite their continued reluctance, Genta and the others went to bed under Akatsuki Kaze's urging.
Chi Chufeng returned to the house and had just lay down for a while when someone knocked on the door.
When Akazuka opened the door, he saw three girls: Ai Haibara, Ayumi, and Yuriko.
"Brother Chichu, can we stay here for a while?" Ayumi asked, looking up at her.
“Of course.” Chi Chufeng nodded.
Ai Haibara and Ayumi, without any hesitation, immediately lay down on Akaso Kaze's bed and crawled under the uncovered blankets as soon as they entered the room.
Yuriko was a little embarrassed, but Ayumi pulled her inside.
The three little girls occupied their beds, leaving Chi Chufeng to lie on the outermost side.
Right next to Yuriko Matsunaka.
Matsunaka Yuriko's face turned bright red as she shyly stole a glance at Akatsuka Kaze.
Ayumi said, "Brother Akatsuki, Yuriko hasn't smiled at all. Can you help her solve the mystery of her great-grandfather quickly?"
Akatsuka turned to look at Matsunaka Yuriko and asked, "Do you want to solve the mystery as soon as possible?"
Yuriko Matsunaka silently shook her head.
If the problem is solved, Brother Chichu will have completed his mission, and it will be difficult to find another opportunity to spend time together like this in the future.
Chi Chufeng used his spatial eye to look at Conan, who was lying on the bed in the large room, deep in thought while holding the map of the Angel's Mansion.
Even Conan is helpless when it comes to solving the mystery with just a single code.
“Perhaps we can learn more about this Mr. Iseya Gozo tomorrow,” Akatsuka Kaze and Matsunaka Yuriko said. “If we can know what this bully is thinking, it will definitely help in solving the mystery.”
“My great-grandfather…” Yuriko Matsunaka said somberly, “He must have been very lonely. No one ever understood him, and no one visited him when he passed away…”
“Yuriko…” Ayumi, who was a little sleepy, turned around and looked at Matsunaka Yuriko, who was slightly choked up, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Yuriko, Akatsuki-nii is very capable. He will definitely be able to help you solve your great-grandfather's mystery."
“Yes,” Yuriko Matsunaka smiled at Akatsuka Kaze, “Thank you, Akatsuka-nii.”
Chi Chufeng smiled and gently touched the girl's face.
Yuriko Matsunaka has a very warm feeling to her.
A soft snoring sound came from the side.
When Akasuke looked up, he saw that Ai Haibara and Ayumi were already asleep.
"Brother Akatsuki, may I sleep here?" Matsunaka Yuriko whispered.
"Of course." Akatsukaze gently patted Matsunaka Yuriko's head and said tenderly.
Yuriko Matsunaka slowly moved her small body and leaned against Fuuji Akaso's chest.
Chi Chufeng reached out and hugged her.
Yuriko Matsunaka felt extremely happy.
She had no parents since she was a child and had never experienced such warmth before.
I wish I could be with Brother Chichu forever.
Yuriko Matsunaka couldn't help but think to herself.
The next morning, after breakfast, Chi Chufeng led everyone to continue their investigation of the Angel's Mansion.
It is indeed much safer during the day than at night.
Yuan Tai yawned as he followed behind Chi Chufeng: "I couldn't sleep all night... There are so many cows here, why don't we check them all?"
"We don't have that much time, but we can take a look when we pass by," Conan said.
Chapter 594 The Sudden Trap
Akatsuka entered the South Building and found the place where Iseikawa finally died.
The belongings were kept very clean, and there was nothing particularly unusual about them.
Adding to the gains from the North Pavilion, it's clear that Gozo Iseyawa really liked his child, but they rarely interacted.
After the South Wing is the West Wing, and finally the East Wing.
Like the South Pavilion, the West Pavilion yielded almost nothing.
I only looked at some of the documents left behind by Gozo Iseya before his death, and they were all about stocks.
However, there were some mechanisms that made the East Wing seem like a haunted house, where they found a golden bull ornament without horns.
After turning the golden bull, a maze was discovered below the fireplace, along with a skeleton that appeared to have been trapped inside.
"Brother Chichu," Yuan Tai said, trembling with fear, "Do we...do we have to go into the maze to look for it?"
Chi Chufeng looked at the maze-like entrance below the fireplace and shook his head.
"Mr. Iseikawa forbids others from coming to the East Mansion, probably because he's worried someone might accidentally trigger a trap. It's unlikely the treasure is inside the labyrinth..."
Then, Chi Chufeng turned to the clock and asked, "Mr. Clock, what should we do with the skeleton inside? Is it one of the previous challengers to inherit the throne?"
"It shouldn't be," the clock shook its head. "Maybe it's some thief who came from somewhere and couldn't find their way out of the maze. I'll call the police here. As for you guys, if you don't hurry up and solve the code, time will be up..."
"It's almost 11 o'clock, we only have 10 hours left..." Chi Chufeng checked the time and looked at Conan and the others, "What are your thoughts?"
Chi Chufeng was in no hurry; to him, it was just a matter of predicting magic.
