A few days later.
It's another holiday, and this time Yukiko takes Situ Xiu, Conan, Haibara Ai, Ayumi, Gentai, Mitsuhiko and a group of six people to go camping in the wild.
"Yantai, why are you lazy again?"
"Yes, you also need to help collect firewood."
In a certain forest, the young detective team was divided into several groups. The three naughty kids went out to pick up branches, Conan and Yukiko prepared dinner, and Situ Xiu and Haibara Ai went to find stones nearby to build a stove.
There was a sound coming from a distance. Situ Xiu was speechless when he heard the words of the three naughty children. These three were going to quarrel even if they were picking up firewood, but it was true that Yuan Tai was slacking off as they had agreed to divide the work and cooperate.
"Hey, that's a house." Haiyuan lamented next to him.
Situ Xiu looked sideways and saw a large old house a few meters away. There was a small lake next to the house.
"It's such a dilapidated house, probably no one lives in it."
Situ Xiu took a closer look and saw that the windows of the house were broken, the exterior was very old, and there were a lot of spider silk on the eaves.
"Let's go over and take a look." Haiyuan lamented.
The two of them walked towards the big house curiously. Speaking of which, to build such a large ancient house in this deep mountain, this family must have been very wealthy in the past.
"It looks like it's been abandoned for a long time."
In front of the ancient house, Situ Xiu saw a lot of weeds on the ground, and the gate of the ancient house was in tatters, and it was pitch black inside, giving off a spooky and eerie atmosphere.
"This is a good place for hide-and-seek." Haiyuan Ai blinked and said mischievously.
"You're a ghost." Situ Xiu said with a smile.
Haiyuan Ai rolled his eyes at Situ Xiu and smiled lightly, "If you want to be a ghost, you must be the unlucky guy to be a ghost."
"Conan." Situ Xiu said.
Their eyes met, and smiles appeared on their faces. This was not a telepathic connection, but that every time they played hide and seek, it was Conan who was the ghost.
Hui Yuan Ai looked around, then walked towards the small lake, looked it over, and said, "This should be a pond. The place where the fish used to be fed is no longer taken care of. It has almost become a lake."
"What is that?" Situ Xiu lowered his head. There was a square object in the water with a hole in the middle. It was a very strange stone.
"Stone lantern, a place where people used to put candles." Haiyuan Ai said calmly.
In the earliest days, stone lanterns were used in China to light up Buddhist offerings. Later, they were introduced to Tokyo and are used in some temples or courtyards to light up the night.
"It's true what you said. There is not only one stone lantern in the water, but also many..."
Before he finished speaking, Situ Xiu's pupils shrank slightly and his expression became serious.
Looking into the water through the lake, you can see several stone lanterns stacked on top of each other in the middle of the water. A hand emerges from these stone lanterns, just like a hand emerging from objects piled together.
"That's...it seems that someone deliberately threw the stone lantern into the water to hide something." Haihara Ai also noticed the hand in the water, and instantly understood that they had encountered another murder case.
Just at this time, Geng Gui's voice came, "Master, someone is peeking at us in the ancient house. Guisi has already gone in to check."
"Classmate Xiao Ai, don't worry about the man in the water for now. I saw a stone lantern with words inside."
Situ Xiu lay on the ground, reached into the water, and picked up a stone lantern. It was about ten centimeters high and square in shape. The top side was open to the bottom. There were some strange words inside.
"Xiao Xiu, what are you doing?" Yuantai's voice came at this time, and the trio ran over from a distance.
"Why are you here?" Haiyuan Ai was stunned, and three naughty children came here to collect firewood.
"I happened to see you while collecting firewood." Ayumi said with a smile.
"What are you doing?" Mitsuhiko asked curiously.
"What is that? It looks like a stone box." Yuantai looked at the stone lantern in Situ Xiu's hand.
"Nio's Stone?"
Situ Xiu raised his eyebrows and continued to look at the words inside the stone lantern, "The Point of the Benevolent King is between the sun and the sun. The elders gathered in a place of extreme prosperity. The Stone of the Benevolent King is somewhere. Don't be afraid of the wrath of the Benevolent King." O man who holds in his hand the stone that is greater than power, and recognizes the unchangeable principles that will last for eternity, Kichiemon Sansui."
"Sansui Kichiemon? I remember that he was a puppet master who provided funds for the samurai who supported the shogunate at the end of the shogunate." Haibara Ai said calmly.
"Mechanism doll?" Yuantai looked confused.
"Well, it's a kind of self-walking puppet. It is said that the machine puppet made by Yoshiemon is almost as if it is alive. Celebrities and businessmen like it very much, so he has become a millionaire. He is called machine puppet Yoshiemon. Door." Haiyuan lamented.
The three naughty children were a little stunned. Suddenly Yuantai thought of something and said excitedly: "Could it be that the doll made by that person is hidden somewhere in this house?"
"That must be the case. This thing is a clue to the hidden treasure. As long as you solve the clues, you will be able to find that thing." Ayumi looked at the stone lantern happily.
"How old is that agency Kichiemon?" Situ Xiu looked at Haibara Ai, he didn't know such a person.
"It seems like 140 years."
Hui Yuan Ai smiled faintly, and then said: "I know what you mean, even if the doll was hidden in the ancient house, it would have been broken long ago."
"No way, why is this happening? That means the treasure is rotten." Ayumi said depressedly.
"No."
Situ Xiu shook his head, and then said: "The treasure refers to the Stone of the King..."
"Stone." Yuantai looked confused.
"Genta, shut up, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Situ Xiu rolled his eyes, and then said: "Nioh refers to the diamond warrior, and Nioh's stone is diamond. However, in English, diamond is the king of gems, diamond."
"Diamond, diamond!!" The three naughty children were full of surprise.
"That should be the case, because the introduction of diamonds to Tokyo happened to be at the end of the shogunate, and the time coincides with it." Haibara Ai smiled faintly.
"Then, let's go exploring." Yuantai couldn't wait.
"Wait a minute, you go inform Conan." Situ Xiu said.
"Why inform him? We can just share it among a few of us. Bringing him with us is just a burden." Yuantai said unhappily.
"Genta!" Ayumi said angrily.
"Forget it, let's call him. I really don't know what's good about that guy. If he doesn't take us with him every time, he might as well be Xiaoxiu." Yuantai curled his lips.
Situ Xiu smiled helplessly.
"Let's go," Ayumi pulled Genta, "Xiao Xiu, we'll be here right away, wait for us."
The three of them walked back, but Genta was reluctant.
Seeing that the naughty children had left, Huiyuan Ai looked at the ancient house and said, "Do you have any clues about the man in the water?"
"A little bit. Judging from the fact that the hand is intact and not rotten, it didn't take long after death."
Situ Xiu took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I think there should be others, maybe because of the dispute over the diamonds here, and they should also have discovered the words in the stone lantern."
"You're very smart. You can think of so many things. I'm different. I just saw a piece of news a few days ago about the map left by Kiemon. It's said to be a treasure..."
Hui Yuan Ai smiled slightly, and then said: "I think it was a coincidence that we met that person who came to hunt for treasure. He happened to kill people for the treasure, or he saw others coming here to hunt for treasure, so he took the first step for the treasure."
"There is a possibility that he threw all the stone lanterns into the water for the treasure, just enough to bury the deceased."
Regarding the news about Kichiemon, Situ Xiu didn't see it. He knew from Gengar's words that there was someone in the ancient house, so he analyzed it and concluded that he was seeking wealth and murder.
