North Pavilion, servant room.

Conan finally waited until Haibara Ai and Ayumi came back. Just when he was about to take Genta with him, Ayumi set out together to look for Mitsuhiko in the East Hall, but Mitsuhiko came back on his own.

"Wow!"

"Scared me!"

Mitsuhiko blocked the door with his body, panting and looking like he had just been frightened.

Yuantai stepped forward and asked in confusion: "Guangyan, we were just going to find you, why did you come back?"

Looking at his familiar friends, Mitsuhiko relaxed a little. He pointed outside and said anxiously: "Eastern Pavilion! There are skeletons in the East Pavilion!"

"Skeletons!"

Upon hearing this, Conan's eyes immediately became serious and asked for details.

With Mitsuhiko's explanation, Conan roughly understood the whole thing.

"Now that human skeletons have been discovered, we cannot turn a blind eye."

"To be cautious, I'd better ask Mr. Clock first..."

Although Conan is a little wary of Mr. Clock, since Mitsuhiko said it was human skeleton, it means that the corpse has been there for a long time.

The original owner of the Angel House, Yoon Seokawa Gozo, died last year. If Mr. Chong had killed the heir in order to obtain the inheritance, his body would not have turned into bones.

Just when Conan was about to set off to find Mr. Clock, Haihara Ai behind him provided another clue.

"Actually, that man has been quietly following us..."

"Ayumi and I were looking for clues to the puzzle near the Angel Base, and almost touched the high-voltage current flowing on the wall. It was the man who used a throwing knife to remind us."

On the way back, Haihara Ai felt that the true identity of the "Flying Knife Man" should be Mr. Clock.

Clock had not shown up since dinner. As the executor, he must have been secretly observing everyone.

After listening to the clues provided by Haihara Ai, Conan held his chin and thought for a while before deciding to call the police first.

He took out his earring-shaped pocket phone and dialed the alarm number. It rang for more than ten seconds before the other party picked up.

"Hello, Gunma Prefecture Police Department."

"Hello, we found a human skeleton in the 'Angel Pavilion'. Please send the police to provide support."

Conan tried his best to keep his voice calm, but there was still a hint of childishness.

But the policeman on the opposite side was silent for only a second and then replied: "Okay, I will record it here."

"We will send someone to check as soon as possible tomorrow. Do you have any questions?"

ah?

When Conan heard this perfunctory answer, he couldn't believe it. The reporter said that a body had been found, but the Gunma Prefecture police just casually said "come back tomorrow".

"Please wait! I'm not kidding! I actually found a human skeleton!"

Conan thought that the policeman opposite looked down on him as a child and thought he was playing a prank.

But the policeman opposite still responded coldly, "I know, but according to the procedure, we can only investigate again tomorrow, that's it..."

Dududu——

After saying that, the police officer on the opposite side hung up the phone.

Conan held the pocket phone in his hand and felt speechless.

Do you think you look down upon yourself just because the reporter is a child?

It is worthy of being that police officer’s base camp…

The smiling face of Officer Yamamura appeared in Conan's mind.

"Conan, what did the policeman say?" Ayumi asked worriedly.

"They said they can't come until tomorrow..."

"Then what do we do now?"

Conan thought for a while, "Then go to sleep first, wait until the police come tomorrow, and then explain to the police what happened here..."

It's just that this is unfair to Yuriko.

Conan thought to himself and glanced at Yuriko Matsunaka, who was already asleep on the bed.

If the police arrived tomorrow and interrupted the will puzzle challenge, causing Yuriko Matsunaka to lose the opportunity to challenge the puzzle, that would be troublesome.

Let's ask tomorrow what the clock says.

…

The next day, 7:00 in the morning.

Mr. Clock appeared on time and woke up the young detective team who had not yet woken up.

The three little ones rubbed their sleepy eyes, Haihara Ai yawned lightly, and Conan subconsciously put on his black technology glasses.

"Everyone, how was your investigation last night? Do you have any idea about the mystery?"

Mr. Clock came up and directly asked about the progress of solving the puzzle.

But what disappointed him was that Conan thought alone until midnight last night and couldn't come up with a reason.

Although Mitsuhiko said that he solved the first sentence of the puzzle "when the horns on the cow's head disappear and the tail becomes the head," Conan felt that this was just an accident and the key to the decryption was not there.

He still wanted to solve the mystery before the police arrived and let Matsunaka Yuriko successfully inherit his great-grandfather's property, but he still couldn't do it.

It would be great if Qin Zhibo were here...

After thinking for a moment, Conan decided to show his cards to Mr. Clock.

"Mr. Clock, we found a human skeleton in the maze under the fireplace in the East Hall last night, and told the police about it."

"The police should be here soon..."

As Conan spoke, he watched Mr. Clock's expression and observed his reaction.

But Mr. Chong was wearing sunglasses, so no one could see his eyes clearly.

As for the exposed part of his face, Mr. Clock remained in a stiff state. This state remained deadlocked for almost five seconds before Mr. Chong opened his mouth to reply.

"I understand, the police will come to deal with the skeleton..."

"Maybe a thief broke in before and couldn't get out of the maze?"

Mr. Chong's tone was surprisingly calm, as if he wasn't surprised at all.

Conan frowned and continued to ask: "Will the arrival of the police affect the will puzzle challenge?"

"It won't affect it." Mr. Zhong answered this question simply and neatly.

When Conan heard this, he looked happy.

This shows that the puzzle challenge can continue, and Yuriko Matsunaka still has a chance to inherit the property.

With less than 12 hours left before the 24-hour time limit, Conan began to get serious and continued to solve the puzzle.

Mitsuhiko also came out of yesterday's haze and said excitedly: "Very good! Let's check all the 'cows' during the day!"

Yuantai also raised his arms and echoed.

Mr. Clock looked at a group of children who were busy again, with a smile on his lips.

"Then I'll leave everything to you. I'll prepare breakfast for you first."

…

In an abandoned charcoal-burning hut, Qin Zhibo woke up from bed.

Originally, Qin Zhibo wanted to go back to the car to sleep last night, but on the way back, he found a charcoal-burning hut and spent the night there.

Although this place is not far from the Angel Mansion, according to the content of the puzzle, neither Mr. Clock nor the Young Detective Team have any reason to come here.

I just woke up in the morning, feeling a little hungry, but there was still nothing to eat around me.

Qin Zhibo took a look at the time and saw that there were still 4 hours until 12 noon, enough time for him to return to Gunma County, have breakfast and then come back to supervise Conan to open the base of the Angel of the South on time.

In order to ensure that Mr. Clock gets the fake Paneste fragment, Qin Zhibo must witness this scene with his own eyes.

Also, if Conan can't solve the puzzle by himself, he can use the flash gun to give Conan an inspiration at any time.

…

Driving down the mountain, Qin Zhibo supported his head with one hand and controlled the steering wheel with the other hand, driving with an extremely lazy posture.

Suddenly, a police car came around the corner.

Qin Zhibo subconsciously controlled the steering wheel to turn to the side to make way for the other party to pass.

But at this moment, Qin Zhibo realized something was wrong.

This road can only lead to the Angel Pavilion, and the police car is driving towards it. Something must have happened at the Angel Pavilion.

With a bad feeling in his heart, Qin Zhibo quickly turned the front of the car, and the car happened to be lying in the middle of the road.
