"So this scroll is a treasure map? But although there are words on it, it is impossible to interpret because it is incoherent. As for the pictures... they look like peanuts, which is wrong. It also has dimensions, four inches wide and one long. Ruler, what is this?" Hoshino Sora looked at the content on the scroll and was a little confused.
"Yes, Heiji, it would be too arbitrary to say that this scroll alone is a treasure of the world." Officer Otaki also found it unconvincing, "Although the method of revealing words and patterns when the scroll touches water is indeed quite subtle, the problem Yes, the content on it is almost burnt, and it can't even form a complete sentence. It really can't explain anything..."
"The scroll alone is indeed not convincing enough, but what if we add that piece of ceramic fragment? Uncle Otaki, if you look carefully, you can see that it is stained with fine gold powder." Hattori smiled confidently.
Officer Otaki immediately picked up the fragment and observed it, and sure enough he saw gold powder, "It turns out to be real..."
"This means that the complete body of this porcelain fragment was once filled with gold, and the shape of the complete body should be the figure drawn on the scroll." Hattori said.
"As Kong said, this looks like a large peanut." Mouri Kogoro was also taken to the ditch by Hoshino Sora, and he couldn't think out of the box.
But Xiaolan said hesitantly after looking at it: "Don't you think it looks like a gourd? For a gourd, this size is just right."
"Calabash...it's true! Why didn't I think of it? Calabash baby looked at it for nothing!" Hoshino Sora slapped his forehead, feeling very annoyed.
"Yes, gourd! Speaking of gourds, isn't Taige's Ma Yin a gourd?" He Ye suddenly realized.
"Well... if it is a gourd of this size, I don't think it will be a treasure for everyone in the world, because it is too petty. How much gold can such a gourd hold? It may be a lot for ordinary people, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi, as a unified It's impossible for all the people in the world to use this little gold as a treasure, right?" Mouri Kogoro gestured and laughed, shaking his head.
"Indeed, this gourd is not big. Simply stuffing it with a small amount of gold won't hold much, unless it is filled with gold water." Xing Yekong agreed.
"Did you forget one thing?" Hattori said with a smile, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi had a habit. Every time he won a war, he would add a small gourd to the horse seal. Later it became the famous The golden horse seal... Thousands of ladles!"
Everyone: "!!!"
Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment and swallowed unconsciously, "Thousands... Thousands of gourds... If... there are really a thousand such gourds, then its value..."
Hattori nodded, "The value itself is immeasurable. If you add the historical value, it will be even more priceless! I think the two people who were burned into charred corpses thirteen years ago and a while ago are the same as those who died today." It's the same, he coveted this treasure, but was killed by someone who wanted to take the treasure for himself."
"Wait a minute, Heiji, don't you think it's strange? Boss Toyama and your father have only seen the two fragments, but not the scroll. Why would they know that this might be a treasure?" Officer Otaki was confused. asked.
Kazuye analyzed: "It should be in the shape of a fragment, because the shape of the piece is very similar to the mouth of a gourd bottle, and the words '848' are written inside the fragment."
Hoshino Sora combined Qiancheng Laozuo and said subconsciously: "So, these eight hundred and forty-eight are not the eight hundred and forty-eight of the thousand gourds, right?"
Mouri Kogoro took a deep breath and said, "If there are really a thousand Sensen Ladles, and they are all filled with gold, it would be so huge that one has to doubt its authenticity. It may be exaggerated by later generations." , in order to highlight the power of Toyotomi Hideyoshi."
"Maybe it's true, because there is a story that has been circulating in Osaka Castle. Toyotomi Hideyoshi threw a lot of gold into the Kinmei Well in front of the castle tower in order to purify the well water. Many people claim that he Gold was found in that well." Toshiaki Fukushima looked expectant and wanted to believe that this was true.
Shigehiko Wakisaka echoed: "When Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, the gold and silver treasures piled up in Osaka Castle shocked even Tokugawa Ieyasu."
Mouri Kogoro rolled his eyes, "Can you believe that kind of legend? If I were born in that era, if he dared to throw it away, I would dare to pick it up! Besides, gold has no purification function..."
"Let me see, this scroll is actually the design of the gourd, nothing more, gold or something, just passed down from rumor to rumor."
Hoshino Kong frowned and said, "But uncle, there is indeed gold powder on this fragment, indicating that it once contained gold."
Hattori nodded and said: "Akong is right! In addition, if it is a design drawing, as for pasting several pieces of paper, is it so confidential? Moreover, this scroll also says 'dragon', so use your feet You know, there must be more..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice sounded, "There is also a tiger, right?"
"Boss Toyama!" Officer Otaki looked towards the source of the voice and was shocked when he saw the calm and confident Toyama Ginshiro.
It’s incredible that my immediate boss is here too!
Others were also surprised by his arrival. Only Xiaolan and Hoshino Sora had known about it for a long time, so it was not surprising.
"Since the scroll appears like a dragon-tiger stone when exposed to water, it means there must be another scroll with the word 'tiger' written on it. That scroll probably records the specific location of the treasure! Am I right, Heiji?" Yamagin Shiro slowly walked out from behind Kazuha and said with a smile.
"Dad, you're finally here. That's great. I'll leave this place to you. We'll go back first." He Ye Xin was extremely happy.
"Well, leave this to me." Toyama Ginshiro responded with a smile.
"Xiaolan, are you hungry too? I know there is a very good restaurant across from the Shinbashi Bridge in Osaka Castle. Let's go there together~" Kazuye greeted everyone.
Before she finished speaking, Hattori came to her and asked angrily: "Are you kidding? The murder happened right in front of us. How can we be in the mood to... eat..."
However, before he finished speaking, he felt a strong murderous aura. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of He Ye's father staring at him sharply. Suddenly, his anger disappeared and he became timid. He said to He Ye in an unusually gentle manner: "Ahem Hey, He Ye, I think you should go eat it and leave us alone..."
"Huh, if you don't want to eat, you won't eat. Xiaolan, let's go!" He Ye angrily pulled Xiaolan away.
Several people in the tour group also said goodbye and left. However, after hearing a familiar voice, Toyama Ginshiro suddenly raised his head, took a deep look at the back of Yuhiro Zaiya, and then whispered in the ear of Officer Otaki. He ordered: "Otaki, find someone to keep an eye on that old man. Be careful. The other party has a strong sense of counter-investigation. Don't expose him."
"Yes!" Officer Otaki responded quickly.
After giving the instructions, Toyama Ginshiro walked aside and called Hattori Heizo.
Hoshino Sora thought for a while, and quietly left the scene, following Yuhiro Zaiya.
This old guy is not a good person. His tone on the previous phone call was quite like a big brother's, and the content he said was quite scary. Obviously, this guy wanted to cause trouble.
If that's the case, then he needs to find out.
