Chapter 224: Extra map

　　 August 17, Saturday.
　　 In the afternoon, on an unknown mountain in Nishitama Town. The four treasure hunters followed the map and walked all the way to a meadow. The grass of the meadow was very high and dense.
　　 Yuanta asked, "Is this the place where the treasure is hidden?"
　　Bumei said: "The secret language is, starting from the junction of the water of the sky and the stone of the sky, take five steps."
　　 "What does the water of heaven mean?" Genta guessed, "Could it be rain?"
　　 Mitsuhiko said, "Your answer is too simple."
　　 Looking at the five stone pillars erected on the grass and looking at their arrangement, Conan immediately said, "Genta, lend me my shoulder." Without waiting for Yuanta's consent, he climbed onto Yuanta's shoulder.
　　 The arrangement of the stone pillars is exactly W-shaped, W, WEST, yes, it refers to the West. Conan thought about it as he got off Genta’s shoulder, what is the water of heaven?
　　 Yuanta asked: "Conan, have you figured it out yet?"
　　 Conan said, "It should be five steps west from the stone pillar, right?"
　　 Mitsuhiko ran over immediately, and then shouted, "Conan, there is nothing here." Then suddenly he let out a scream, "Ah," and everyone was gone.
　　 Seeing this, Genta, Ayumi, and Conan immediately ran over, shouting Mitsuhiko's name, and then found Mitsuhiko lying in the grass with his head in his hands.
　　 Ayumi asked, "What's wrong, Mitsuhiko?"
　　 Mitsuhiko said, "It hurts. I tripped over a tree trunk. After I fell, I bumped my head on the stone again."
　　 Tree and stone? Conan touched it. These trees and rocks looked like they hadn't moved for a long time. Hey, this shape... Conan ran a circle along the trees and rocks. Could it be that?
　　 Thinking of this, Conan looked for it and found that there was a big tree about fifteen meters high by the grass in a good position, so he ran to climb to the highest position he could climb, about seven meters high.
　　 Those logs and stones are connected in the shape of the Big Dipper, Conan thought, by the way, the Ursa Major is the shape of a spoon, and the water of heaven refers to it. Then, those stone pillars refer to the Cassiopeia constellation. In this way, the point of intersection between the water of the sky and the stone of the sky refers to the North Star, and the position of the North Star is exactly the place where the distance between the top two stars of the Big Dipper has been extended by five times. In addition, it is also from the Cassiopeia The intersection point of the extension of the stars on both sides of the constellation begins, and the distance between the stars in the center is extended five times.
　　 Thinking of this, Conan was about to go down the tree, but suddenly found that the smoke column rising from the camp was not too far away, so he looked at it and found that the camp was under the mountain, and the straight-line distance was less than two hundred meters. Looking through the binoculars, Conan found that Dr. Akasa, Yamazaki, and Meidaizi were cooking something to eat. He couldn't help but sigh, "These guys are really laid-back."
Ok? what is this? Just after putting the binoculars in, Conan looked up inadvertently and found that about four meters above the branch where he was standing, there was a piece of bark that was somewhat abnormal, so he looked at it with a binoculars, and there were new traces of shedding on it.
After taking a closer look at the entire tree, Conan found that there were many similar marks on it, and pointed directly at the crown of the tree. Conan thought to himself, this should be a trace of someone climbing the tree, and there was no more than four meters up from where he stood. Branch, that is, this guy jumped more than two meters high here, reached there, and then climbed up. That's amazing, who is this? Also, what is this person doing up there? That's weird.
　　 Conan went down the tree, told the reasoning of the constellation to the three Yuantas who were resting, then found the position of Polaris, and then determined the direction.
　　 Conan formed a row of four, and Conan smiled and said, "Listen, we only need to take five steps."
　　 As the four walked, they counted: "One, two, three, four, five."
　　 When he reached the place, Genta asked, "Strange, why is there nothing?"
　　 Mitsuhiko asked, "Conan, did you make a mistake?"
　　 "Uh," After thinking about it for a while, Conan said with a dry smile, "This, it may be that our steps are too small, we should take two more steps."
　　Bumei took two steps immediately, and then exclaimed in surprise: "There is a secret door under this bush."
　　 "Huh? That must be the entrance to the treasure." Genta said excitedly.
　　 Mitsuhiko asked, "But how do I open this door?"
　　 "Isn't there a handle?" Conan said, "It should be pulled, but...Huh?"
Conan found that Yuan was too relaxed and opened the door. He was immediately taken aback. If the door hasn't been opened for a long time, let alone rust, it's just the floating soil stuck in the crack of the door... Who opened this door before?
　　 Behind the door is a vertical hole with iron stairs for climbing beside it. The opening of the hole is round, about one square meter, and the hole is more than three meters deep. There is a protruding platform at the bottom of the hole and a treasure chest on it.
　　 Four members of the treasure hunt group squeezed into the bottom of the hole with flashlights. Yuanta asked, "Is this the treasure we were looking for?" Then he opened the box.
　　 "What," Mitsuhiko said discouragedly, "There are no treasures."
　　 "Here is a piece of paper and a file bag." Ayumi asked, "Is it a new treasure map?"
　　 "Let me take a look." Conan said and picked up the paper.
　　 At this time, a voice came from the entrance of the cave, "Children, the treasure hunt is over. Climb up obediently, otherwise you don't come up."
　　 is that tall man’s voice, Conan thought to himself, what’s in it? Thinking of this, Conan took advantage of Yuanta's climb up and blocked his sight, quickly put the paper and document bag into Mitsuhiko's backpack, followed behind Mitsuhiko, and climbed up last.
　　 Four members of the treasure hunt group went out of the cave and found that it was the two men in suits, the tall man and the man with glasses that they met in the mountains today.
　　 The tall man said to his companion: "Look at them, I will go down and take a look." Then he climbed down.
　　 "Uncle," Conan asked, "Aren't you in front of us? You did the snake and the street sign, right?"
　　 "No way, who made you so good," the man with glasses smiled, "We all tried it out one way by one."
　　 Conan asked: "So, you can't solve the last code word, so you have been waiting for us?"
　　 "Yes," the man with glasses smiled, "thank you too much."
　　 At this time, the tall man’s angry cry came from the cave, "Damn it, there is nothing in this treasure chest."
　　 "What?" The man with glasses immediately stood at the entrance of the cave and asked.
　　 A good opportunity, Conan immediately raised his hand and used an anesthetic needle to bring down the person wearing the glasses.
　　 Seeing his companion suddenly fell down, the tall man shouted, "What's wrong with you?"
"Uncle," Conan said as he motioned to Yuanta to close the door, "This uncle seems to be asleep." Then the tall man took out a pistol and laughed, "Uncle, if you shoot in such a small place, you will be shot. It's dizzy, maybe the ears will be damaged."
　　 was taken aback for a while, the tall man put the gun away, and then began to climb up, and then the gate was closed, and he shouted, "Boy, what are you doing, let me go."
Conan smiled and said, "Uncle, let's wait until the police arrive." He said that he stuck the shovel of the two men on the door and let Yuanta sit on the sticking out pole. Too much pressure on the door can prevent the tall man from shooting Yuanta with his gun.
　　 Ayumi asked, "Conan, who are these two people?"
　　 "I don't know either." Conan said, taking out the paper and document bag from Mitsuhiko's backpack.
　　 Yuanta asked: "What is written on it?"
Conan was stunned when he saw it. This is a letter written to him, Shinichi Kudo, and this handwriting is very familiar to him. It is the handwriting of his father Yusaku Kudo, and the final signature is also unique to him, and the time is 1981, May 4th.
"I don’t know when Dr. Ari will remember that map. This letter is for ten-year-old Shinichi and your friends. If you can get this letter when you are ten, it means you are qualified as a detective. Now. Laugh. And the so-called treasure..."
"Well," after thinking about it, Conan said directly, "The so-called treasures are all the processes you have gone through on your way to this place. You may fall from the bridge into the river. You need to make a fire by yourself, and sometimes you need friends. Help to overcome the obstacles, these are precious experiences. You may not be able to understand it now, but I think that one day in the future, all of this will become your priceless treasure and your eternal wealth. I hope You can continue to convey this experience to future people."
　　 Mitsuhiko said, "I don't seem to understand."
　　 Ayumi smiled and said, "Forget it, that's it."
　　 After thinking about it, Yuanta sighed, "Okay." Then he asked, "What's in the file bag?"
　　 Conan poured it out and saw it was a letter to his father Yusaku Kudo and a manuscript. The letter said that I was very embarrassed and peeked at the letter you wrote to Master Ling. I'm also very sorry. I couldn't help but take your manuscript back and read it for a while, so you couldn't publish it. Later, I couldn't find the manuscript and could not return it to you. Now I found it, but I cannot return it to you personally. . Fortunately, I wrote down the place you drew back then, and now I borrow Master Ling's future hand to return it to you. There was no signature at the end of the letter, only time, August 10, 1986.
　　 Conan said: "It's an apology letter, and there is a manuscript that cannot be published."
　　 "Huh?" Yuanta said frustratedly, "What are these things?"
　　 Ayumi said, "Let’s go back."
　　 Mitsuhiko asked: "But, how are we going back?"
　　 Conan pointed to the front and smiled: "Yamazaki, Meidaizi, and Dr. Aka are right under this mountain, they can know by shouting."
　　 Yamazaki stood up from the grass not far away and smiled: "No need to shout, I'm here early."
　　 Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi shouted, "Brother Yamazaki!"
　　 Conan asked in surprise: "When are you..."
　　 "While you are counting." Yamazaki smiled, "I know everything. I have already called the police. The police should be there soon."
　　 Conan asked: "Then you already know who these two are?"
　　 "The jewel thief many years ago." Yamazaki smiled. "They came to find the jewel hidden by another jewel thief."
　　 Yuan asked too excitedly: "Is there really a treasure?"
　　 "Unfortunately, you didn't even see it. Don't think about it if you see it." Yamazaki smiled, "Wait for someone to take one back as a souvenir."
　　 "Ah!" Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi shouted together.
　　 "Wait a minute," Conan said, "This is stolen goods, how can you..."
"I'm really sorry," Yamazaki smiled, "I have already called and checked, and the time to recover it has passed. Now whoever digs it is whoever digs it out. Of course, we pay all the taxes. I won't pay less."
　　 At this time, the sound of the police car came from a distance, and Yamazaki let the treasure hunt group wait here, and he walked to the cliff and waited.
　　 Conan ran to Yamazaki and asked, "When did you take the jewels and have a map?"
　　 "There is more?" Yamazaki asked, "how do you say this?"
　　 After thinking about it, Conan showed Yamazaki the two letters.
　　 Yamazaki said, "It seems that this happened when you were almost one year old. Your father did not put it away after drawing the map. The person who was stolen saw the manuscript and remembered it, and this person is the other jewel thief."
"'No way' should mean dying. It may be that Dad was abroad at that time and he was about to die," Conan said. "So he drew the map in his memory, found it here, and put the apology letter with The manuscript is in the treasure chest given to me, and I want to borrow my hand to return it to Dad."
"I put the jewels here, I want to borrow your hand to give them to the police," Yamazaki smiled, "It wasn't time yet, but you never came~EbookFREE.me~ It should be said. Because Dr. Ari completely forgot about it," Conan said, "and Dad thought I was here."
　　 "But why does this map appear now?" Yamazaki said, "This is a problem."
　　 "This is indeed a problem." Conan asked again, "When did you take the jewelry away?"
　　 Yamazaki smiled and said: "Mei Daizi said that she found a hole in the ground when she was catching a rabbit. She should have stepped on the door and found that the voice and feet felt wrong before she discovered it."
　　 "Catch, catch the rabbit?" Conan was speechless. Then thinking of the traces on the tree, he asked, "By the way, she won't even dig out the bird's nest?"
　　 Yamazaki smiled and said, "I even brought back the birds, the eggs and the nests."
　　 "..." Conan rolled his eyes, completely speechless.
　　 "You should thank Mei Daizi," Yamazaki smiled. "She also caught three snakes, two of them are poisonous snakes."
　　 "No way?" Conan was taken aback, "here?"
　　 "Yes." Yamazaki smiled.
　　 Conan complained: "Dr. Aka this guy..."
　　At this time, four police cars drove to the river beach. Conan looked through the binoculars and smiled and said, "Alighting from the car is the police department, Sato, and Shiratori."
　　 Soon after, when Mei Daizi was under the cliff and called them to the police, one end of the long rope brought by the police was thrown up, Yamazaki caught it and tied it to her waist, and then Officer Sato climbed up first. ...
