Kuroki Ren was holding a daily newspaper, and the centermost section was a report about the Dusk Annex. Although the local people quickly refuted the rumors that the annex was just a layer of gold-plating on the outside, there were still a lot of people in front of it. Go visit.
As for the cases that occurred in the villa and matters related to the Karasuma Group forty years ago, there was no report at all in the newspapers.
But it’s normal to think about it. Although the Karasuma Consortium disappeared due to some things, some of the consortiums that had relations with the Karasuma family are still active in the country, not to mention that it seems that the Karasuma family has moved abroad collectively, and their background is still there. exist.
It's just that Kuroki Jin always feels that if the organization evolves to fully take over the Karasuma family, its current strength seems to be a bit weak.
When did the Karasuma family ever lack money?
Kuroki drank his breakfast coke, put the newspaper on the table, and took out two playing cards from the table.
It's the useless playing card that Belmode said.
He was thinking about whether the previous code could be interpreted in another way.
Jack of Spades, represented by Ogier Lou Dalon, is the son of Geoffrey, the first Christian king of Denmark. Because of the defeat of the Danish Kingdom, the king sent Ogier as a hostage to Charlemagne. In his palace, he served as his bodyguard.
Charlemagne, whose representative playing card is the King of Hearts, was the king of the Frankish Kingdom. During his reign, he launched more than fifty wars and established the Charlemagne Empire.
Speaking of Hogle, he first appeared in the French epic "The Song of Roland". He followed Charlemagne in several wars and fought bravely to achieve military exploits. But after that, he accidentally killed Charlemagne's son by mistake, so he fled back to Denmark to protect his country from being invaded by outsiders.
Of course, there are many versions of the legend, and some say that he was one of Charlemagne's twelve paladins who died in the Battle of the Pyrenees. Or that he will be resurrected when the country is in trouble... There are always many fables.
Hogle can be seen as a brave and fearless knight, or as a patriotic warrior who protects the country. The romantic Dane also has a saying that he was tired of the war and fell into a long sleep after returning to the castle. Because of the blessing of the six fairies, he was immortal, so he could always guard Denmark and defend his country with a long sword. nation.
The spades represent swords, and are also the last words in the code that was finally interpreted by Conan: The soldier swung his sword to kill himself.
Among them, the soldier represents the playing card J, plus the spades representing the sword. The playing card referred to in the last sentence happens to be the spades J.
The secret code ultimately translated the last three sentences into three playing cards. Through the same first sentence, the hour and minute hands of the clock first pointed to 12, and then rotated to the rotation of the character's face corresponding to the playing cards. Head angle.
So "The king carries the treasure", the king refers to the king K, and the treasure represents the diamond. This sentence refers to the diamond K, and the representative figure is Caesar.
As the only profile card among the four king cards, and the ending of his life of power but assassination, the meaning of this deck of cards in divination is not good.
"The princess shed tears on the Holy Grail." The princess refers to the playing card Q, and the Holy Grail represents the heart in the card. In other words, the card is the Q of Hearts, representing the character Judith.
Judith is a character in the Old Testament of the Bible. When the country was invaded, she went to the enemy camp to seduce the general, and killed him when he was drunk, successfully giving the country a glimmer of hope.
Kuroki Jin frowned slightly, not understanding what these three characters represented, and finally had to turn his attention back to another playing card.
The 4 of clubs is a card covered by the jack of spades. It is also a card with obvious blood stains on it.
In divination, the 4 of clubs represents internal strife.
This is quite common in organizations.
In addition, the first two sentences of the code are also very thought-provoking. Who are the two travelers referring to in a hurry? Is it just a simple representation of the two hands of a clock? But it doesn't look like that from Belmode's expression.
The same goes for the devil coming to the castle in the second sentence. Who is the devil? If the castle refers to the Dusk Annex, then the [King] who lived there at that time refers to Karasuma Renya? He ran away with something, leaving his wife as the devil's ration, and his loyal guard died unable to fulfill his loyalty?
Does Renya Karasuma have a wife? He didn't even have any descendants - to be precise, he had no direct descendants.
Moreover, although Caesar, represented by the K of Diamonds, is called Caesar, it was actually his adopted son and nephew who unified Rome. His adopted son Octavian was the first Roman emperor.
Can this sentence be understood as: Two travelers observed the stars at night and noticed the arrival of the devil. The fake king stole the treasure and sacrificed the princess to the devil. The princess cried out in despair and begged God to have mercy on her, while the soldiers...
Where did the soldiers come from?
Oh, by the way, the soldier is the Jack of Spades, which is Hogle. Although he appeared as a retainer to Charlemagne, he was also a genuine Danish prince.
So what did the code eventually become?
There is also the 4 of clubs under the jack of spades. If interpreted, would it become: the devil came because the prince betrayed the country?
Or... because the back of the Jack of Spades was stained with blood, the prince died because he was betrayed?
Early in the morning, Kuroki Ren was distracted by his own imagination, and in the end he had to give up on deeply interpreting the meaning of the codes and playing cards - it was meaningless and could not be confirmed.
She must know something about Belmod's attitude, but as we all know, it is absolutely impossible to tell the secrets that Belmod doesn't want to tell others. He told her directly to Kuroki Jin that these two cards had no meaning, knowing that she did not want to have too much discussion on this matter.
Kuroki put the playing cards under the secret compartment of the study drawer. Feeling unsafe, he opened the secret door and put the playing cards in the basement.
After all, it was brought from that place, so it's better to be careful.
His caution saved him. When he went to the candy house during the day, he found that five children from the Junior Detective Group had been waiting there for a long time.
"Why are you here?" Kuroki Ren was confused, but he saw five people looking defeated by you at the same time.
"Brother Ren, today is the weekend!" Mitsuhiko sighed (exaggeratedly) with tears in his eyes.
"Don't you guys have a holiday...Oh! Weekend!"
Kuroki Jin remembered that they were going to the Underwater Paradise today to watch Takagi and Sato make a date... No! They were going there to take some nice photos today!
"Where's Wen Ren?" It was Ruomu Wen Ren who suggested it, but he was not here.
"Brother Wenren said that we should go first. He has something to do at home and will arrive later." Bumi smiled sweetly.
"Then..." Kuroki Ren was moved.
"Get out!" Asai Narumi pointed at the door.
