218. Moonstone

"After my husband closed the machine box that night, I saw him put the machine box and the note marked with arrows and numbers in a certain book and put it away." You Ji Gonghua said: "Later, when I was looking for the book with notes in the study, my husband saw it."

She recalled the scene with a slight smile, "He smiled and said, 'What? It turns out that you saw me opening the machine box, but you can't find the note.' He said I couldn't find the things and notes in the machine box, because he said that, so I guess the note was written on the note."

Kogoro Mouri puzzled: "But why doesn't your husband want you to find the gem?"

"I don't know." You Ji Gonghua said a little embarrassedly: "Because my husband is a very shy person."

"Ah?" Kogoro Mori looked at her in confusion. Is there any relationship between the two?

You Ji Gonghua waved his hand quickly, "No, because people often say that moonstones can bring love, so he may not want me to see him treasure this gem so much."

Perhaps the memories and beauty in her eyes when she talked about it also made the people in the scene feel that romance and expectation for love.

"Yes, you're right. We took risks together. He is indeed a shy person who is easy to be shy." Suzuki Jiroki sighed: "I remember that at that time, we took a manpower plane to travel around the world. When we were photographed by the media, he was also hidden behind me, making people unable to see him."

Kogoro Mouri asked, "So, Kidd replied that he would come?"

"Yes, I've received his preview letter just now." Jiroki Suzuki said: "He said he would bet on the name of the magician under the moonlight to take away the moonstone."

Subaru Okayama pondered: "So, if you want to open the machine box first than Kidd, the best way is not to randomly fiddle with the box, but to find the book with a note with the method to open the box."

Amuro put his hands in his pockets and nodded when he heard this, obviously agreeing with his idea.

Chen Xing tilted his head slightly, "Aren't you going to deal with him?"

Tori Amuro whispered, "But what he said makes sense."

Chen Xing said 'oh', but the small provocation failed.

However, Toru Amuro said: "But this guy is indeed suspicious."

"Which aspect do you mean?" Chen Xing looked curious.

Yamuro suddenly became silent. Yes, no matter how suspicious his doubts were, the reasons could not be expressed, especially for those around him. Should he tell Akai Hideichi?

He thought, indeed, no matter when, he could not say much.

"It's the sixth sense." Amuro said in a serious way.

Chen Xing looked at him. This kid was serious and it seemed that this was the case.

...

"The books in that study room have been given all the gifts to our library."

Jiroki Suzuki led everyone to the red door and pushed them away, "It's all in this room."

"Okay, then everyone can just go and look for it separately!" Kogoro Mouri rolled up his sleeves.

Then when the lights came on, everyone saw the scene in the room clearly and their eyes widened.

The huge room has all the high walls on all sides, full of books, leaving only the entrance to a door and the tables and chairs in the middle of the room.

"Isn't these books all the time?" Kogoro Mouri said in a tone.

"I estimated it, there are almost more than 10,000 copies." Jiroki Suzuki said unkindly: "You have found some of them."

"Will there be too many?" Yuanzi shaved her cheeks. "More than 10,000 books here are just as good as the new study."

Conan was ashamed, indeed.

Yuanzi said helplessly: "If there is really a note with a method to open the machine box in one of the many books. There are so many books, how can we find it?"

Kogoro Mori panted and held a stack of books on the table, "Then I can only read them one by one. It's true. It would be great if I could make someone read them before we came."

Chen Xing looked around. Looking for books is not about finding people, and his perception is useless. However, if he really wants to find books one by one, he doesn't think there is anything, after all, he has always been very patient.

"I have dispatched all the staff to search for it all day, but I still haven't found any notes."

"Eh?" Kogoro Mouri felt his liver tremble.

Jiroki Suzuki spread his hands, "After all, there are more than 10,000 books here, so they didn't look at each page carefully, but just looked through it roughly like the Maori Detective."

Dr. Agasa said: "But generally speaking, if there is something stuck in the book, you should be able to turn to that page soon?"

Tomoto Amuro looked at Tomohiro Kokawa, "Will your husband hide the note in another place?"

"No." You Ji Gonghua said: "My husband died in a car accident not long ago. He could not predict in advance that he would have an accident, so he would correct the place where he hid the note in advance."

Amuro apologized.

Subaru Okayama asked, "But, your husband hasn't opened that machine box again in the past ten years, right?"

You Ji Gonghua recalled: "I have never seen him open the box again, but when I was not at home, he seemed to have opened it secretly because every time I went out, he would always say this to me when I came home.

--It seems that the machine box has not been opened by you yet, because the note with the method to open the machine box is still stuck there. If the note is found, you will definitely find the real thing hidden in the machine box. It seems that it is still too difficult for you, but if you really want to read it, I will tell you which book is better for the paper. Although I will be embarrassed to do so."

Subaru Okayama said: "Your husband said 'real things', that is, there are other things in that machine box besides moonstone."

You Ji Gonghua hurriedly said, "I don't know either, after all, I have never opened that machine box."

"But since he said everything, I can tell you which book the note is hidden in. Just ask him directly?" Yuanzi said confused.

You Ji Gonghua smiled bitterly, "But I feel very unwilling to accept it. He actually said that I would never find that note."

"So have you ever looked for that note again in the future?" asked Dr. Agasa.

"Yes, I looked for it while he was out, but I still couldn't find the note." You Ji Gonghua said disappointedly.

Kogoro Mouri guessed: "Since that's the case, will the note be stuck in the book you don't usually read, Madam?"

"It's very likely." You Ji Gonghua pondered: "If you want to say that books I don't know how to read are mystery novels that will die, and horrifying monster novels."
