Wow!

A palm-sized silver-white disc broke through the sea surface and shot upward.

In the blink of an eye, four pairs of propellers simulated diffusion and rotation, making it float smoothly in mid-air.

Looking around, I can see that the sea water is calm, like a dark blue simple mirror, reflecting the treetops and lush branches and leaves stretching out along the coast.

Confirm that no one is passing through this quiet street for the time being.

After a brief moment of silence, ripples appeared on the water's surface, and a black figure quickly crossed.

After a few breaths, Ye Geng pushed himself back to the shore.

He raised his arms and stretched.

The seawater dripping from the diving suit is shining like pearls under the gradually slanting sunlight.

Control the drone to return and reintegrate into the body.

Ye Gengyi quickly came to the tree where the bicycle was parked.

He dug out the box that was temporarily hidden in the grass, rotated the handle to open the touch keyboard, and deactivated the high-explosive bomb used to physically eliminate traces.

The black clothes replaced the diving suits, and everything was just like the beginning.

Leave empty-handed, return empty-handed.

Sure enough, the unique thing about treasure hunting is that it never disappoints people...

After muttering silently to himself.

Ye Gengyi put away the equipment and props and without hesitation, prepared to go to the hotel to meet up with Mouri Kogoro to see if there were any clues involving the 'medium'.

Rided along the coast for a while.

A certain Shinigami elementary school student suddenly appeared in front of his sight.

At this time, the little detective was holding an A4 piece of paper that, judging from the color, should be the treasure map, standing in front of a warning sign at the corner, muttering something unknown.

Huh? Why didn't Conan investigate the murder case? It seems that he got into trouble with the treasure instead...

A professor surnamed Ye, who had just returned from collecting treasures, made such a slander without any position.

The bicycle chain makes a clicking sound from time to time.

Conan turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Eh? Brother Gengyi..."

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

Ye Gengyi simply said hello and continued riding forward without any intention of slowing down.

Hey, hey! Don’t make ‘ignoring me’ so natural, okay?

Conan sweated violently, and the moment he passed by, he shouted: "Brother Gengyi, wait a minute!"

Alas... As expected, I was still called.

Ye Geng pressed the brake to stop the car and looked over with dead eyes:

"What's up?"

Please! What's going on with this feeling of disgust? Brother Gengyi's tone is obviously no different from usual...

Conan showed a suspicious expression, then temporarily put the question behind him and said:

"Hmm... Brother Gengyi, it's about the treasure hunter being attacked by a shark. Have you investigated anything?"

After leaving the diving shop earlier, he returned to the B&B with Haibara Ai, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko. He originally wanted to have a good discussion, but after waiting for a while, Ye Gengyi did not come back.

During this period, he received a call from the three children of the Junior Detective Corps using detective armbands, and then he ran out again.

I didn't expect to meet Brother Gengyi here, and in that direction...

Conan looked behind Ye Gengyi.

To the west?

"The harvest is not big, just a little bit."

Ye Gengyi said, his eyes moved slightly, staring back.

Iwanaga Joji, the head of the Tourism Section, happened to be riding a bicycle next to them:

"Hello you two, are you looking for treasure separately?"

"No, I'm looking for my friend." Conan scratched his head and stopped asking Ye Gengyi about the content of 'harvest'.

"So that's it..."

Iwanaga Joji smiled and said: "They should look for treasures on the suspension bridge."

"But according to the route on the map, there is no way to get there. It is forbidden to pass here." Conan said.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to modify the route on the map, because there was an earthquake last week, and the falling earth and rocks blocked the road..."

Iwanaga turned around and pointed behind, "Did you see that corner? Turn left and go straight and you can see the suspension bridge. Well, I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you."

"Well, thank you, Mr. Iwanaga."

Conan nodded sincerely.

Prepare to continue discussing the case with Ye Gengyi after Iwanaga Cheng'er goes away.

Who would have thought that Ye Gengyi had no such intention at all. After casually saying, "Come on, do your best," he stepped on the pedal and walked away.

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻...You should tell me what clues you found before we leave!

Conan is depressed.

He wanted to catch up, but considering that he might not be able to get any clues by doing so, he sighed deeply and turned around and walked towards the hillside.

Here, Ye Gengyi and Iwanaga Chenger are riding in the same direction.

In a slightly silent atmosphere.

Iwanaga Jo'er considered the words and took the lead in opening the topic:

"Um, sir... is it because of the treasure hunting code that you don't plan to continue playing?"

He deliberately did not mention whether the 'reason' was difficult or simple, but he had already made a conclusion in his mind.

He must not have the patience to continue playing...otherwise, he would have found the treasure with those children long ago.

"Observation tower." Ye Gengyi said coldly.

"Ah?" Iwanaga Chenger was stunned.

"It is indeed true," Ye Gengyi concluded through his reaction: "Why should the location of the treasure chest be directly connected to several sightseeing spots on the map and then marked with routes?"

"Well..."

Ye Gengyi's calm and somewhat cold voice made Iwanaga Cheng'er shiver inexplicably. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Sir, it turns out that you have already collected 5 stamps..."

Ye Gengyi did not answer and continued to ask:

"What do those numbers mean?"

"Oh, tourists need to answer this for themselves," Iwanaga Joji said with a smile: "If you can't guess it, sir, you can ask the famous detective Mouri Kogoro for help."

"Is it a code that requires a famous detective to solve? It is so targeted, what about other tourists?" Ye Gengyi asked continuously.

"Well……"

A few drops of cold sweat fell from Iwanaga Cheng'er's forehead, and he said: "He, they should be able to untie him..."

"What is the last treasure? I can't tell you now?" Ye Geng asked.

"Haha, otherwise there wouldn't be any surprises..." Iwanaga Jo'er continued to laugh.

"Yeah?"

Ye Gengyi declined to comment and said: "Then after I unlock the code, can I take the treasure by myself without notifying you?"

"Of course not!"

Iwanaga Sōji shouted this answer almost subconsciously. After coming back to his senses, he added with a reluctant smile:

"Ah, it's not... this, it's... the secret code is a secret code. After unlocking the code, our Tourism Section will be responsible for preparing a souvenir as a gift."

After getting the answer he wanted, Ye Gengyi stopped using verbal tricks and said softly, "Oh", and said paradoxically:

"Is it such a special souvenir? You can't choose it by yourself..."

"Uh... not bad, hehe, hehehe..."

Iwanaga Chenger laughed dryly for a while, then showed a look of surprise, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said:

"Oh, look at my memory, I actually forgot to bring something. Um...sir, please go first. I have to go back."

After saying that, without waiting for a response, he quickly turned the brakes and rode away like the wind.

Ye Gengyi had no intention of catching up.

My mind began to quickly sort out the known clues.

As expected, the code for the number was not thought up by Iwanaga Joji, but for some reason, the head of the Tourism Section was almost certain that if he solved it, he would be able to obtain a valuable treasure.

Is it another piece of property different from the interior of the underwater palace under Norichijima Island?

Ye Gengyi thought for a moment, and did not completely deny this conjecture, but he did not think that given the conditions at the time, it was very likely that the two female pirates would store the treasure and the ship separately.
Chapter completed!
