Oritis in the world of Detective Conan
Chapter 7: Metropolitan Code Map Incident
"Eurydice was bitten by a venomous snake and died of poisoning. Just as Orpheus was in great pain, Persephone appeared and told him that he could go to the underworld to save Eurydice."
"With the help of Persephone, Orpheus passed the test of the Guardians of Hell and came before Pluto."
"Pluto agreed to his request to take Eurydice away, but he made an agreement with Orpheus that no matter what happened behind him, he could not look back before leaving the underworld."
"As they were about to step out of the underworld, Orpheus heard Eurydice calling from behind him."
"He couldn't help but look back at Eurydice, only to realize that the call was a trap set by Pluto."
"The pact was broken, and Eurydice was left forever between life and death."
"And Orfeo was trapped alone in the world with endless regret."
After hearing this, Conan couldn't help but think of himself and Xiaolan. Will they be separated forever like Orpheus and Eurydice?
The little girl's question interrupted his thoughts: "Edogawa-san, who do you think is to blame for this tragedy? Is it Persephone who gave false hope, Pluto who set the trap, or Orpheus who broke the rules?"
Conan: "As for me, I would probably think it was Pluto's fault. If he hadn't set the trap, the lovers wouldn't have been separated."
Little girl: "Maybe."
It was already late, and it was time for Genta and the others to go home. After leaving the manor, Conan reflected on the story the little girl had told him: Was there any deeper meaning behind Mr. Orpheus using "Orfeo" as his pen name? Could it be that he, too, had lost his own "Eurydice"?
It's a new day. Conan, the three little ones, and a little girl are just leaving an art museum when they find a piece of paper with a mysterious symbol on it. Having just learned about the existence of treasure from the museum, the three little ones excitedly believe it's a treasure map revealing its location and clamor to go treasure hunting. Conan can't persuade them, so he agrees.
Yuantai: "Great, then we are the Junior Detective Team now!"
Ayumi & Mitsuhiko: "Okay!"
Yuantai: "Uh, but what does the information above mean?"
Conan's eyes suddenly widened, while the little girl smiled without saying a word.
Conan: "The first pattern should represent Tokyo Tower."
The three little ones: "Great, let's go!"
In the taxi, the three little ones were full of anticipation for the treasure.
Ayumi: "But what does this word 'ORO' mean?"
Mitsuhiko: "It should mean a huge and rich treasure."
Conan muttered to himself: It's unlikely when you think about it, how can one word combine the meanings of Japanese and English?
Little girl: "'ORO', this is not English or Roman, it should be the Italian word for gold, so the clue suggests that the treasure we are looking for is gold."
Ayumi: "Wow, Alice actually knows Italian?"
Little girl: "One of Daddy's friends is Italian. I learned some simple words when he came to visit."
Conan thought: Oh, then Mr. Orpheus has a really wide range of friends.
Little girl: "Considering that if an Italian drew this picture, the moon probably means that these pattern clues only appear at night."
Conan: "That makes sense."
In the evening, the lights on the Tokyo Tower further proved that this conjecture was correct.
After searching through all the neon icons along the way, several people stood on the top floor, looking for the light indication corresponding to the final fish-shaped pattern.
After finding the corresponding position, Conan shook the rope and several gold coins fell.
Yuantai: "Ohhh! It's treasure, it's gold coins!"
"Thank you for your hard work, kids! Thank you for helping us find this location." At this moment, Gan Wencui and three other Italian bandits appeared and arrested the men. One of them angrily complained to them about how their boss had betrayed them and embezzled the gold they had looted, and how they had tracked them down.
The little girl couldn't help but feel that these bandits were far inferior to her evil friends in the manor. After all, those in the manor were either riddlers who couldn't tell any useful information for a long time, or the type who were ruthless and didn't talk much but would just take action.
In short, under duress, Conan had no choice but to tell the gang of criminals about the treasure.
"Wow, what should we do? We won't be silenced here, will we?" Ayumi started to cry softly.
"Don't be afraid, Ayumi, I have sent a distress signal to my father. Did you see my watch? It's actually a miniature transmitter and locator. Stay calm, we will be saved." The little girl spoke to comfort him and sent a message in her mind.
Conan was stunned. He didn't expect the little girl to be carrying such a high-tech product. However, considering the current critical situation, he didn't dwell on it. He also comforted the three little ones: "That's right, it's not time to give up yet. We are the Junior Detective Team!"
Listening to the encouragement from the two, the three little ones gradually stopped being afraid and cheered up.
[Little girl: Ophi, I have bandits from the Italian gang here. They have captured Conan and me.]
[novelist:???!!!]
[Novelist: Where are you? I'll be there right away!]
[Little girl: The location information has been sent to Grandpa Balk.]
[Explorer: It's just right for a few of us to go and rescue the situation.]
[Composer: You'd better change out of those shabby clothes of yours before you go.]
[Explorer: Since little Alice is in danger, I won't argue with you about this.]
[Bartender: Wait? Italian gangs? I remember I wiped out every illegal organization in this area to establish a foothold here. How come there's still some that slipped through the cracks?]
[Entomologist: Don't worry about it. We can deal with it later if there's any work. The most important thing now is little Alice's safety.]
[Novelist: Norton, Frederick, come with me immediately. I'll beat these fools to pieces with three punches.]
[Explorer: You...]
Meanwhile, on Conan's side.
"Now is the time, while they relax their minds after discovering the treasure! Charge!" Conan stood up and led everyone towards the fixed rope tied to the bag of gold coins.
The heavy bag filled with gold coins fell down, but unfortunately, the three bandits who discovered this in time were not caught.
"What a pity, little devils, now it's time for you to say goodbye to this world." The gangster took out a pistol, ready to end the lives of Conan and his companions.
Conan: "It's over, failed."
At the critical moment, Conan saw a figure rushing out from the stairs, kicking the gangster who tried to shoot to the ground, and then punching the gangster three times in the face.
Before the other two gangsters could react, two more figures appeared. One punched one of the gangsters against the wall, and then kicked the other one down with a sweeping kick. The last figure gracefully controlled the fallen gangster's hands and twisted them hard, dislocating his hands.
Conan came back to his senses when he heard the gangster's screams of pain, and he heard a roar in his ears.
"How dare you hurt my Eurydice? You deserve to die!"
Conan was horrified: Eurydice? Who is it?
