Conan: Tennis Boys' Scripted Murder

The mechanical puppet maker Sanmizu Kichiemon was very popular because the puppets he made were so lifelike, and he had plenty of money and fame.

After reading the words in the stone box, Edogawa Conan figured out what the treasure hidden in the yard was.

"Inside this is the Nioh Stone."

"Niou Stone? What is that? It's not just a stone, is it?"

Conan knew the amount of knowledge his friend had, so he continued to explain: "The so-called Nioh refers to the Kongo Rikishi, and the Nioh Stone is commonly known as the diamond."

Ai Huihara added some historical knowledge: "According to records, the period when diamonds were introduced was exactly the end of the shogunate, so the time is right."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya suddenly remembered the news he had seen on TV before, which mentioned that there was a strange map in Kichiemon Sanmizu's warehouse.

The people who came here to hunt for treasure this time most likely watched a TV program, determined the location of the house from the map, and then found clues in the stone box at the door.

The person they rescued probably had a conflict with his temporary partner and was finally resolved by his partner. You have to know that most of the people who do this business are not good men and women.

Kojima Genta looked at Conan who seemed indifferent, and suggested to Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Akaya Kirihara: "Let's go treasure hunting by ourselves!"

Kirihara Akaya is very self-aware of his own IQ, "But without Conan, who will solve the mystery? I definitely can't do it. Among us, only Huibara and Mitsuhiko have some skills, and the others can't do it!"

His honest words made Kojima Genta and Yoshida Ayumi unhappy. Are they just big fools in Kirihara Akaya's eyes?

If they really asked, it would be difficult for Kirihara Akaya to give a negative answer.

It was still Huihara Ai who understood Conan, "Don't worry, the ignition device has been activated, he won't let it go."

That's right, Conan analyzed from the second half of the words in the stone box that the diamond was not small, which reminded him of an old friend.

It just so happened that it started to drizzle, and in order to avoid the rain and also to look for the treasure, the members of the Young Detective Team had to get closer to the house.

Genta Kojima was the one who couldn't wait the most. He opened the door and rushed in. It was no use even though Conan and the others shouted at him from behind.

Genta Kojima thought that he would be fine if he walked slowly, but he obviously underestimated Kichiemon Misui's mechanical skills. As soon as he stepped onto the third step, a mechanism appeared.

The steps disappeared and turned into a smooth steep slope. He slid down it without grabbing anything to stop him.

What’s even more terrifying is that there are long, sharp needles standing at the bottom of the steep slope.

Conan and Kirihara Akaya were running in the front. They racked their brains but could not think of any way to save Kojima Genta.

In the end, an uncle grabbed Genta Kojima by the collar and threw him to the ground.

"Wow, this man is so strong! As strong as the vice-minister, he can even lift Yuanta with one hand!!"

Kirihara Akaya looked at the man who suddenly appeared with sparkling eyes.

"What are you little brats doing? Are you here to look for Sanshui Kichiemon's treasure as well?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya shook his head blankly, indicating that they were not here to look for treasure.

"It doesn't matter. This staircase is just a decoy. You have to be careful. Sanshui Kichiemon is not a pushover.

By the way, did you find any stones?

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was about to answer when Conan beat him to it.

"No, we didn't see anything."

Yoshida Ayumi and the other two found it strange, but Kirihara Akaya understood Conan's thoughts very well.

He knew that this was called making a fortune in silence. Since the man mentioned the stone, it must be a treasure and they had to keep it for themselves. The man in front of him was very strong and he would definitely not be his opponent without a tennis ball, so he could not reveal this news to him.

"Conan, why did you lie?"

"Yeah, isn't he a good person since he saved Yuantai?"

"I'm not sure. I don't know if he saved Yuantai in order to gain our trust and then take the stone away."

"Yes, Conan, what you said makes a lot of sense."

“Is this man a bad guy?”

"It's hard to say, but this man is very familiar with the mechanisms here. We can follow him for the time being."

Conan and the others saw the man restore the mechanism to its original state just now. He is definitely not a simple person.

Conan and his crew followed him for two reasons. One was that it was safer to be with him, and the other was that they suspected that he was disguised as Kaito Kid, or a murderer.

For whatever purpose, they had to follow him closely.

At this time, Dr. Agasa and two policemen were lost in the woods, and they couldn't find the house.

The advantage of following a man is that they don’t have to use their own brains.

After experiencing the life-and-death moment just now, Genta Kojima has PTSD about trap holes and so he doesn't dare to move forward casually.

But the man said that the thing that looked like a trap hole was not a trap, but a mechanism.

He stretched out his leg and kicked, and the mechanism inside started moving, and then a simple elevator appeared in front of them.

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya summarized his experience on the way just now: "If you want to go up, you have to go down, and if you want to go down, you need to go up. Is this how the mechanism is arranged?"

Kojima Genta excitedly agreed: "So it seems that once you master the skills, everything will become easier!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flying knife flew straight towards him and stuck into the wooden board behind him.

Seeing this, Conan, Haibara Ai and Kirihara Akaya protected the three behind them. The knife was different from the previous invisible mechanism. It gave people a strong sense of oppression.

The target was a woman with other throwing knives in her hands. "If it's really that simple, we don't have to look for it, right? Don't you think we are a treasure hunter with a burden?"

"Hey, but I didn't bring these kids here. Aren't you going too far in using a knife on them?"

The woman rolled her eyes: "Just take a closer look, okay?"

The man pulled the throwing knife out of the wooden board and then saw the poisonous spider on it.

"Poisonous spider?"

At this time, Haibara Ai was still in the mood to tell a cold joke, "This Sanshui Kichiemon is not only difficult to deal with, but it seems that he doesn't even have a kind heart."

The woman kindly reminded Conan and the others that if they wanted to go to the top floor, they should go up the stairs in front.

The children were frightened by the woman's words that there were many poisonous spiders, and they all ran to her, but Conan was still studying the walls here.

When they arrived at the top floor, they found that there was nothing there. Obviously the treasure was not there.
