Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

“This…” Yuan Tai said with a frown, “I still can’t figure it out, but there are still a lot of cows here that haven’t been checked…”

“I think,” Conan looked up and said, “the ‘cow’ in that sentence doesn’t refer to any particular cow here, but rather to the Chinese character ‘cow’.”

"Chinese character?"

"Correct."

Conan's eyes gradually brightened.

"If that's the case, the horns on the bull's head disappear, which means the Chinese character becomes '午'. Besides noon, '午' also refers to the south. That means the angel in the south at noon is the place we need to find. There's still time."

"But how do you explain the tail turning into a head?" Mitsuhiko questioned.

“I’m not sure about that yet,” Conan said with a gentle smile, looking at Akatsuki Kaze, “why don’t we go to the Southern Angel’s place to find out if it’s true? Maybe we’ll find some clues there.”

When Chi Chufeng met Conan's intense gaze, he chuckled inwardly and shook his head, showing no desire to compete.

"Then go and have a look."

At noon, Conan and his group rushed down to the Southern Angel, and as expected, they didn't encounter any dangerous facilities. The clock just silently followed behind.

After a stone brick on the base of the angel pillar was pressed in, a hidden door suddenly opened.

Inside was a fairly large space, with only a glass bottle placed on the floor in the center.

A beam of light from above shone directly onto the bottle, revealing a black crystal inside.

Conan led the way into the secret room, but couldn't pick up the glass bottle. It seemed to be fixed to the ground, so he had to pull out the stopper to take out the black crystal inside.

"Is this the treasure of the Wild Bull?" Yuan Tai stared at the cone-shaped black crystal.

“No,” Conan said, examining the crystal.

"This should be the key to solving the next puzzle. The horns on the bull's head have disappeared, and the tail has become a head, which means the direction has reversed, facing the opposite direction, which is north. The next clue must be in the Angel Tower in the north, Brother Chichu..."

"Get out quickly!"

Ignoring the explanations to Conan and the others, Chi Chufeng looked around with a slightly serious expression.

I could faintly hear the sound of a mechanism turning.

He turned around, hugged Yuriko Matsunaka, Ayumi, and Ai Haibara, and walked out.

As time skips to 12 o'clock.

Suddenly, the floor of the secret room collapsed from the middle, revealing a huge trap.

Outside the Southern Angel Tower, Conan and the others stood silently in front of the newly closed entrance, still unable to recover from the sudden turn of events.

“Uncle Clock,” Conan said, looking at the clock with a stern face, “you knew about the mechanism there from the beginning, didn’t you?”

“I’m sorry,” the clock said, meeting everyone’s gaze, “As the executor of the master’s will, I’ve done everything according to the rules, and this mechanism is part of the challenge…”

Instead of wasting time questioning, you'd be better off solving the mystery.

The clock, wearing sunglasses, revealed no expression as he turned and walked away.

Chi Chufeng watched his retreating figure without saying anything.

Conan frowned.

What he cared about most was the mystery within this Hall of Angels.

The remaining clue lies with the angel in the north, but "the angel will descend from heaven and play his flute..."

This statement is rather strange.

The Northern Angels, along with other angel statues, do not appear to possess this kind of coded mechanism.

Chapter 595 The time is almost up

Conan said, "I think the next clue to the mystery lies in the Northern Angel. To open the Northern Angel Tower, we need to wait until midnight, but it will be 9 p.m. when our time comes."

"I can't think of anything to do right now. There's a high-voltage current at the Northern Angel Tower to prevent thieves from getting close, so we can't get near it until midnight..."

"Moreover, whether that Mr. Clock is trustworthy is still a question."

"Is there a problem with Mr. Clock?" Genta asked.

"Yes, he deliberately released the riddle at 9 PM, so that to open the South Tower, they would have to wait until noon the next day. Even if the challenger discovers the next clue is in the North Tower, the earliest they can open it is midnight that day..."

Conan frowned and said, "No matter who takes on the challenge, it's impossible to finish within 24 hours..."

“But,” Mitsuhiko asked doubtfully, “what good would that do for him? Even if all the challengers failed…”

"What if he is Yuriko's successor?" Conan said in a deep voice.

"If he intends to formally claim the treasure as his heir, then that makes sense. I suspect the so-called protection of the land is just a way to monitor and hinder us..."

"wrong."

Akatsuka suddenly spoke, interrupting Conan's deduction.

"There's no reason why Iseikawa Gozo couldn't have foreseen this situation. That tycoon known as the 'Bull' must have had some reason for choosing Mr. Clock. He couldn't have been a completely unrelated outsider, thus preventing outsiders from stealing the treasure, but he also couldn't have been someone who could inherit the estate..."

Conan was taken aback: "Brother Akashi, what do you know?"

“I knew it when Mr. Clock found me. Yuriko Matsunaka wasn’t hard to find. In fact, he should have been able to find her even without me. So his purpose was probably to get me to help Yuriko solve the mystery of the Angel’s Mansion…”

Chi Chufeng calmly said, "Mr. Clock is related to the Iseikawa family, that much is certain. He is a relative of the Iseikawa family, yet he has no right to inherit the family property. He also gave up his original name to become a secretary, and was eventually made the executor of the will. He will only be freed when the mystery is solved..."

"Could it be..." Conan's eyes lit up.

"That's right, it seems quite clear now."

Chi Chufeng's lips curled slightly.

"Being hated by Gozo Iseikawa, being a relative of Iseikawa, having no right to inherit... and having just saved Yuriko at the Southern Angel Tower, the only one who meets these conditions is the person who eloped with Yuriko's mother."

Chi Chufeng smiled slightly and said, "I specifically asked Takagi to help me check. The body of Yuriko's father was not found. What is certain is that the car plunged off the cliff and into the sea."

"Is Mr. Clock Yuriko's father?" Ayumi and the others looked at Yuriko, who seemed a little confused.

“That’s very likely. In any case, Gozo Iseya won’t just choose an executor for his will,” Akatsuka Kaze said, looking at the clock standing in the distance.

In the North Pavilion Restaurant, time passed, and gradually it was time for the sun to set, with the red glow of the sunset on the horizon.

Clockwork, still wearing sunglasses, stood at the door watching Chi Chufeng and his group, who were sitting quietly in their seats after finishing their meal, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

After leaving the maze, Chi Chufeng led a group of children around the Angel's Mansion again, and then did nothing more...

Ayumi glanced at Akatsuki, who was resting with his eyes closed, and asked with some concern, "Akachi-nii, are you really alright?"

Chi Chufeng opened his eyes, got up and looked out the window: "Is it already this late? It's almost time..."

As the light outside dimmed, Chi Chufeng looked at Conan, who was deep in thought: "Have you ever considered that the puzzle might not have been entirely designed by him? The meaning of the word 'cow' might be more like a game. If we think about it again..."

With a strange light in his eyes, Chi Chufeng looked at the Angel Detection System, which was now running again, and the entire detection trajectory of the Angel's Mansion instantly took shape in his mind.

"How exactly will the angels descend from the sky? Have you noticed that the trajectory of these searchlights is completely fixed, exactly the same as yesterday..."

"A searchlight?" Conan looked outside in surprise, then suddenly gasped, "Could it be..."

Holding the cone-shaped black crystal 2.8, Chi Chufeng said to Conan and the others who were looking over, "The reason why the mystery was revealed at 9 pm is actually to give us another chance to see the searchlights running the next day, which is at this time... Let's go to the Oriental Angel Tower."

"Huh? Isn't it the Northern Angel?"

"The high-voltage current in the Northern Angels area will only be released when the time comes, and even if it is turned on, it will not be of much use."

Chi Chufeng led everyone straight to the foot of the Oriental Angel Tower. Using a ladder placed nearby, he and Conan climbed up to the top and then used the stairs to reach the angel's pedestal at the top.

Thank you sky夏陌 for the monthly pass.

Chapter 596: Became the Guardian of the Little Loli

“Brother Akaso,” Conan immediately spotted a diamond-shaped groove in front of the searchlight, “This is it! Sure enough, that black crystal is the flute!”

Chi Chufeng nodded and embedded the black crystal into the groove in front of the lamp head. Instantly, a pointer-like black shadow appeared in the Eastern Angel searchlight.

“Let’s begin. If it’s the same as yesterday, the light should shine on that Northern Angel…”

Chi Chufeng watched as the searchlight beam slowly moved, swept across the ground, gradually illuminating the North Pavilion, and finally shining upwards towards the northern angel.

"coming!"

Conan gripped the railing, gazing intently at the Northern Angel bathed in sunlight.

As the angel's shadow was cast onto the ground, the shadow of the black crystal gradually transformed into a flute, which the angel held in his hand and raised to his lips, making him look like an angel playing a flute.

"Crack!"

Using a ballpoint pen to jam the searchlight's 29 gears and stop the beam, Conan quickly shouted to the crowd below the tower:

"The shadow, the shadow of the angel playing the flute has appeared! It's over there in the forest, on the hill next to the charcoal hut! The shadow of the flute is there, which is also the location of the treasure!!"

Really?

Below, Ayumi and the others jumped up and down in cheers: "Great!"

"Finally found it!" Genta finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's hurry over there!"

As the evening breeze blew, Chi Chufeng looked at the shadow of the angel projected on the hill and smiled faintly, without being overly excited.

If he still couldn't find the answer, he planned to use predictive magic.
