Conan: Tennis Boys' Scripted Murder

Chapter 111 Kusanagi Sword

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya suddenly realized that the old woman was right, the skulls here were not there from the beginning, and his guess was wrong.

No one present wanted to give up any clues, and although it has now been proven that Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's guess was wrong, Taisharina (a female treasure hunter) still carefully examined the stone tablet.

There was indeed no place around the stone tablet to embed the artifact, so they had to look for it again.

The male treasure hunter sighed, shook his head and said, "It seems that in order to solve the puzzle, we need to find another artifact."

"Another artifact?"

When Huiyuan Ai heard Yoshida Ayumi's puzzled sigh, she explained: "There are three kinds of sacred artifacts. In addition to the stone mirror and imitation jade that have been found now, there is a third sacred artifact.

The mirror symbolizes the Yasakaki Mirror, the imitation jade is the curved jade representing Yasakani no Nira, and the last one is the Kusanagi sword, which is famous for its legend.

When he heard the name "Kusanagi Sword", the little video game prince Kirihara Akaya's eyes lit up. Finally, something he knew appeared.

"I know it, it's the powerful sword that often appears in video games!"

Duisalina felt a headache. "If only I could see the words engraved on the sword, the problem might be solved."

The old woman snorted coldly, "Before we go treasure hunting, let's first thank you for how we can get out of here!"

Duisalina looked at the male treasure hunter.

"You should know how to get out, right?"

Seeing the man's confused expression, she continued, "If you hadn't come here in advance and seen the words on the stone tablet, would you have hidden the stone mirror so carefully?"

The man really couldn't think of a way to get rid of Conan and the others and leave alone, and he hadn't found where the diamond was yet, so he was willing to let others rush ahead and decipher it for him.

"Yes, I know that you didn't come with me."

The man walked in front, and everyone followed him out of the gloomy space.

When they were halfway there, they found some water on the ground.

“Why is there water here?”

"Where does the water come from?" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya shone a watch-shaped flashlight around and saw water pouring down the wall. "I found it. It came from there."

“Why is there a crooked spot there?”

Duisharina recalled the news he had seen before and explained, "It's because of the earthquake. There was a report before that there was an earthquake here, the house tilted, and groundwater seeped in."

Kuroba Kaito said with a cold joke: "It's just like what Yoshiemon said, the King is angry, asking us to stop looking for treasures and go back quickly."

Niou Masaharu still remembered his character and immediately retorted: "Old woman, I spent a lot of money to hire you to find the treasure! If you don't find it, you are not allowed to leave!"

His domineering attitude made the children of the Junior Detective League frown, and Kirihara Akari was the most conflicted among them.

Why does this person feel so familiar? Has he met him somewhere before, but he really has no impression of him!

As Haibara Ai walked, she remembered the notebook that she had searched from the dead body. She took it out and found that it was dry, so she could see the records on the back.

"It seems that the man thrown into the swamp was indeed killed by his companions. It says that I must find a chance to hide the stone because I have to be a teammate with such a person, otherwise he will kill me because he wants to take the treasure for himself. The content behind it has been torn off and there is no way to read it."

They had guessed this a long time ago, and the most important thing now is to get out of this space safely.

"Wow! Is this a hot spring?"

"It's probably because of the iron content that this is a red hot spring."

At this point, Conan had another idea and walked to a certain place, and Yoshida Ayumi was the first to follow him.

"Conan, what's wrong with you?"

"Ayumi, do you remember where the Kusanagi sword appeared from?"

Ayumi Yoshida was still thinking, but Akaya Kirihara gave the answer first: "Yamata no Orochi?"

"Does the hot spring look like the legendary Yamata no Orochi?"

"It's really similar."

"Conan, do you mean that the Kusanagi sword is at the hot spring?"

"Well, in the story, the Kusanagi sword was drawn from the tail in the middle of the Yamata no Orochi, so it should correspond to that tributary."

The four adults who were listening to Conan's analysis said that it was impossible because there was water everywhere and it would be very difficult to get the Kusanagi sword from here.

Genta Kojima was about to step forward, but his foot slipped and he had to press his hands on a stone to steady himself.

Unexpectedly, when he pressed the button, he triggered another mechanism. The hot spring water here disappeared after a while, leaving a path.

Kojima Genta jumped down and said, "Let's go and take a look too!"

However, he had only taken a few steps when he was pushed away by the old woman, followed by the other three adults who ran with her. They were all afraid that they would be late and would not be able to find the treasure.

The old woman saw a sword stuck in the end. Just as she took a step forward, a big knife swept towards her. Fortunately, she was agile, otherwise her life would be in danger.

The two treasure hunters were focused on the old woman's goal which was also the treasure, while Niou Masaharu understood why she did this.

If she hadn't run in front of Kojima Genta just now, the first person to rush here would most likely be that kid.

The kid wasn't able to dodge the attack with his abilities, so Kuroba Kaito (the old woman) saved his life.

While others were lamenting the difficulty of this level, Conan had already discovered the secret here.

"These flying knives seem to attack from all directions, and there is no way to avoid them, but there are still gaps, and there are handles on the knives. The purpose of their appearance is to lead us to the other side and pull out the Kusanagi sword!"

Conan jumped lightly and stood next to the Kusanagi sword.

The two treasure hunters were obsessed with the words on the Kusanagi sword. It didn't matter who pulled it out.

"What's written on it?"

"dragon."

The old woman deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of these three words and said, "There is no treasure hidden here in the first place. Let's go out."

Several children from the Junior Detective League are more willing to believe Conan.

Huiyuan Ai noticed the expression on his face, "You already know the meaning of these three words, and have you found the location of the treasure?"

"No, I just look helpless and I'm planning to go home!"

Everyone walked out together. Along the way, Ayumi Yoshida and the others surrounded Conan and asked him if he really wanted to go back. They obviously felt it was a pity.

Halfway through the journey, the two treasure hunters each found reasons to separate from them.

In the end, only the disguised old woman and the middle-aged wealthy businessman accompanied the children of the Young Detective Team out of the house.

"Why hasn't Dr. Agasa come back yet?"

"Yes, did something happen on the road?"
