Situ Xiu watched the leaving figures of several naughty children. Just as he was about to follow them, he suddenly heard a noise outside the window. He turned around and saw that there was no movement.
Dr. Ali walked to the window, opened it, looked outside, scratched his head and said, "Strange, did I hear wrongly?"
Situ Xiu's brows jumped, and Dr. Ali also heard it, which meant that there was really a sound just now.
After thinking about it secretly, he left the bedroom, walked to the main hall, looked around, and ordered: "Coke, check around the villa for anyone suspicious, and then come back and tell me."
From the damaged toys just now to the noise outside the window, these are all suspicious. Maybe as Conan said, the bad guys are lingering nearby.
Ghost responded and flew out of the house.
.....
After a while, they found seven coded items, including playing cards, portraits, wine glasses, airplanes, records, French dictionaries, and robotic dolls. Each item had graphics of stars and the moon, and the various graphics were arranged in different order. Same.
In addition to these, there are also the previous vases, plates, and candlesticks, three items, a total of 10 codes.
Dr. A Li was surprised and said: "You are really amazing, you can find so many secret codes."
"Awesome, Conan, Xiaoxiu, I, and I found these," Ayumi said with a smile on her face.
"...." Genta and Mitsuhiko rolled their eyes. They did not dare to refute Ayumi, so they could only keep rolling their eyes at Conan.
Conan laughed dryly: "Hey, hey... Doctor, didn't you just say you were impressed by these pictures?"
"let me see...."
Dr. Ali pondered for a while, pinched his chin, and said: "I remember that there seemed to be such a figure in the anonymous letter that my aunt once read to me...".
A few people were discussing graphics. Situ Xiu glanced outside. Guisi hadn't come back yet, and he didn't know if he had seen anyone suspicious.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. He glanced at the people who were still discussing seriously, walked to the side and pretended to take out his cell phone to look at it.
"Is there anyone suspicious outside?" There was a tap on Situ Xiu's shoulder. The first tap was yes, the second tap was no.
His eyes flickered and he looked out the window. Sure enough, there was someone near the villa.
However, this is not enough to explain whether there are bad people. Next, we need to ask for more details.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Outside the house?"
Instead of asking around the villa, we asked outside the house first and expanded the scope step by step.
With a tap on his shoulder, his pupils shrank slightly. The man was outside the house but did not enter. His behavior was very strange.
Recalling the knife left behind by the previous toy being destroyed, he thought for a moment and said, "Listen to my order later."
After putting down the phone, he walked to the people who were still discussing and coughed: "Listen to me."
Everyone stopped talking and looked at Situ Xiu. Only Conan was concentrating on the code on the floor and thinking about it.
"Conan..."
Situ Xiu walked over and patted Conan on the shoulder, saying mysteriously: "I discovered a secret."
"What secret?" Conan's curiosity suddenly attracted him.
"There is a sneaky person outside the house. I suspect it is the bad guy who destroyed the toys. Now we should leave here first and call the police." Situ Xiu said in a low voice that only they could hear.
The person outside the house was just a suspect for the time being. He had no evidence to prove that the person was the one who destroyed the toys, so he couldn't ask Guisi to arrest that person. He could only let everyone leave safely first, call the police, and let the police investigate.
Everyone's expressions changed upon hearing this!
"There is a bad guy outside..." Genta exclaimed in fright.
"Then what should we do..." Ayumi showed worry on her face.
"Go back, don't look for the treasure." Mitsuhiko glanced nervously out of the window.
"Don't be so loud..." Situ Xiu held his forehead. These three naughty kids were caught off guard at the critical moment. They hoped that the person was far away from them and didn't hear what they just said.
"Xiao Xiu is right, let's get out of here first."
Conan looked serious. He had suspected that there was someone outside the house just now when he saw the toys being destroyed. It was just a secret code for the treasure, which made him forget about it for a moment.
"Now..." Before Dr. Ali could finish speaking, everyone heard the door opening.
Bah!
There was a sound of the door opening, and a middle-aged man walked in. He looked at everyone in the room. After seeing the things on the ground, he sneered, took out a gun from his arms, and pointed it at Dr. Ali.
"What does the code mean? It says..."
Everyone's faces turned pale. It didn't matter whether the gun was real or fake. The three naughty children were so scared that they huddled together. Ayumi had tears in her eyes. Dr. Ali was too nervous to move.
"Damn it..." Conan frowned and gritted his teeth. Things were a bit bad. Apparently, what he just said was heard by the middle-aged man.
Looking at the pistols, everyone was afraid to show their anger or move. Situ Xiu quickly thought about how to escape.
He did not expect that a thief would bring a gun when he entered the villa. If he had a knife, the middle-aged man would have fallen to the ground long ago. If he acted rashly at this time, he might be attacked.
Dr. A Li looked at Conan, hesitated and said, "I only understand a little bit of the meaning of the code. Can you give us some time?"
He could only stall for time. What the middle-aged man wanted was the secret of the code, which meant that they would not be touched for the time being.
"Huh?" The middle-aged man's face showed dissatisfaction. He had searched the villa for a long time before Dr. Ali came, but he still found nothing.
When he found Dr. A Li coming with a group of children, he immediately hid and observed secretly. He accidentally discovered that these children were very interested in secret codes, so he thought of reaping the benefits.
Unexpectedly, just when the code was about to be solved bit by bit, his whereabouts were discovered by a kid. In desperation, he had no choice but to show up.
Situ Xiu pondered for a moment, pretended to be an innocent child, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I know the meaning of the code."
Everyone looked at Situ Xiu. The middle-aged man looked happy and said with a smile: "This kid, tell your uncle what the secret of the code is."
Sure enough, he was a thief with a low IQ. Situ Xiu felt a little more confident and said with a smile, "Uncle, if I tell you, will you let us go?"
"No problem, as long as you tell me the meaning of the code, I will let you go." The middle-aged man said without hesitation, secretly chuckling in his heart.
The others did not speak. Conan was thinking of a way to escape. As for the secret code, he believed that Situ Xiu would not tell it because it was the only condition that restricted the middle-aged man.
Situ Xiu's goal has been achieved. What he just said was to make the middle-aged man relax his vigilance. What he really wants to do next is...
"The secret of the code starts with a story..."
Situ Xiu paused for a moment, looked at everyone's attention, and then said: "Uncle, have you heard the story of the five little heroes who saved Athena?"
"Um?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said puzzledly: "I've never heard of it. What does the code have to do with the story?"
"Because the secret is in the story," Situ Xiu said with a smile.
The corners of Conan's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't see what the secret code had to do with the story. But what was the story about the five little guys saving Athena?
"Stop talking nonsense, talk quickly." The middle-aged man was a little impatient.
"OK.."
Situ Xiu responded, and then said: "The story begins in a place called the Sanctuary. In order to regain the glory of the Sanctuary, Athena fought with a man named Thanos...".
