Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

Chapter 413 No, this is totally worth it!

Conan mentally complained about his younger brother, but his hands didn't slow down at all.

Then, everyone present saw him take out a tattered piece of coarse paper. On the paper was written the code that the dummy had given them earlier. Judging from the color, it was more like dried blood that had been there for who knows how long than ink.

Below the blood-written letter was a signature that read "Senma Kyosuke".

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "Does this name sound familiar to you?"

Chima Kazuyo sighed softly: "That was my father."

“He used to be an archaeologist, and he was indeed invited to this villa 40 years ago.”

"The wealthy man, who was over 100 years old, discovered a clue to a considerable treasure in the villa his mother left him, so he wanted to ask people from all walks of life to help him find the treasure before he died."

"Because the pay for this job was very attractive, and he would enclose a check in his daily letters, my mother and I were overjoyed. But after six months, we stopped receiving letters and money. He didn't tell our father where he was, and just like that, he completely cut off contact with us..."

Under the watchful eyes of the detectives, Chima Kyouyo sighed: "Actually, I only found out the truth of this matter by accidentally putting the last letter my father sent me under the light."

"The letter was covered in holes from needles; it was definitely written with needles."

"But the letter also contained the code for the treasure hunt. In addition to my father, many other scholars were also invited at the same time."

"The letter also described how Karasuma Renya had committed atrocities by cruelly murdering the scholars one by one because his death was imminent and they had not yet helped him find the treasure."

"But even if they find the treasure, they'll still die, right?"

"It's a pity that I only noticed the needle book 20 years later. Karasuma Renya had long since died, and this villa had changed hands several times and was no longer the property of the Karasuma family."

Mogi Harufumi, who was quite familiar with her, sighed, "But Senma-nee, you still chose to plan such an event. How is this any different from Karasuma Renya, who killed your father and the others back then?"

"Yes, who could have imagined it would turn out like this?"

Chima Kazuyo gave a wry smile and explained to everyone.

It turns out that two years ago, Daikami Shuzen heard about the legend of Twilight Villa from somewhere, and Senma Kōdai told her father's story.

Da Shang Zhu Shan immediately became obsessed with the so-called treasure hunt and quickly found the location of the Twilight Villa and its original owner.

In order to buy this villa, Da Shang Zhu Shan incurred a huge debt, but he was still unable to decipher the code and find the location of the treasure.

With the debt repayment deadline fast approaching, Daisho Shuzen harbored malicious intentions and conspired with Senma Kyoudai to plan this event.

He originally planned to kill everyone after finding the treasure, including Senma Kazuyo, who conspired with him, but Senma Kazuyo struck first.

The truth behind Da Shang Zhu Shan's death, and the truth behind this event, has finally come to light.

But the code was still not deciphered.

The detectives were all somewhat troubled.

Kazuma Kudo knew the mechanism was on the clock in the restaurant, but he didn't know how to solve it.

So he moved closer to Conan and asked, "You should have deciphered that code by now, right?"

Conan nodded, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

Kazuma Kudo immediately ruffled Conan's hair and said to everyone with a smile, "Don't underestimate Conan just because he's young. He's an expert at catching Kid because he's been exposed to all kinds of riddles since he was a child and he's very good at deciphering all kinds of codes."

Everyone looked at Conan, with Chima Kazuyo frowning deeply: "Impossible, so many people couldn't solve the code, but this little kid solved it?"

Conan blinked his big eyes and said, "What's impossible about that? Besides, in my opinion, your father has already deciphered the code, he just hasn't said it out loud."

As he spoke, he led everyone back to the restaurant.

"You've all basically explored the entire villa, right?" Conan pointed to the clock behind the dining table in the dining room. "Don't you find it strange that such a large villa only has a clock in the dining room?"

His question prompted everyone except for Kazuma Kudo to ponder it.

Gin, however, was the first to scoff, "I see..."

Conan glanced at Gin with a "whoosh": "You figured it out?"

Gin dismissed it: "It's not a difficult problem."

"The two travelers, hurrying along, looked up at the night sky, referring to the clock's long and short hands pointing upwards simultaneously, which is midnight. Isn't the rest even simpler?"

Conan glared at Gin, unconvinced, realizing that Gin was right!

He pouted childishly, "That's not wrong either..."

He climbed directly onto the clock base by stepping on the chair and moved the hour and minute hands of the clock to the 12 o'clock position.

He then added, "On that piece of rough paper, Detective Qianjian's father mentioned the final trump card, which actually refers to playing cards."

"The coded message is that the king is holding the treasure, which is the King of Diamonds; the queen is shedding tears on the Holy Grail, which is the Queen of Hearts; and the soldier is holding a sword, which is the Jack of Spades."

"Simply move the pointers according to the direction the people in suits are facing on the three cards in the annex."

Conan stood on tiptoe and raised his hand to move the minute hand on the watch face.

"Turn 13 degrees to the left, then 12 degrees to the left, and finally 11 degrees to the right..."

He had just finished turning it when the clock fell off its stand with a clatter.

Kudo Kazuma gasped, "Let's put the code aside for now. Are you a protractor that's come to life? How can you adjust it so precisely?"

Conan climbed down from the top, somewhat speechless, and said, "Instead of wasting time talking nonsense, why don't you take a look at what's so magical about this clock?"

Xiaolan pointed to the watch face, revealing a gleaming gold edge: "That looks...like gold, doesn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Conan hurriedly tried to lift the clock, and only managed to do so by gritting his teeth.

“The paint on the surface has peeled off.” Conan said with some difficulty, “Judging by this weight, the entire clock face is 100% made of pure gold.”

Hearing this, everyone curiously crowded around to take a look.

Only Chizuru Kazuyo's pupils trembled in disbelief as she staggered backward: "What's going on? I never imagined that my father would lose his life for such a gold nugget... And I, too, have stained myself with someone else's blood and ruined my life for something like this. It's just too unfair."

No, it's totally worth it!

Kudo Kazuma's lips couldn't help but curl upwards.

If it weren't for Senma Kōdai organizing this event, he would have completely forgotten about finding this golden castle.

Moreover, it also comes with a spirit.

Isn't it worth it?
