Stay away from Conan

"About 1200 BC, civilization appeared in Mesoamerica, probably in central America from the Mexican Plateau to Panama. There, the Olmecan civilization, the Mayan civilization, the Teotihuacan civilization, etc. A sudden rise and then an incredible decline at the height of their civilization.”

Kaito saw Takato's slightly dull expression and felt that he probably didn't understand this area of ​​knowledge very well, so he continued to explain:

"There are signs that part of the civilization spread to South America, and it is not ruled out that some of it spread to other regions."

"Well...I probably know a little bit about this."

Listening to Kaito's words, Takato couldn't help but respond, and then he felt a little confused, as if he felt that this had nothing to do with what he had asked about gems before, so he asked:

"So? What does this have to do with gems?"

"Don't worry, I put these here to tell the whole story better."

Kaito said slightly with satisfaction:

"You know, the gem in that person's house is a black diamond!"

"Black Diamond?"

Hearing this word, Gao Yuan suddenly felt enlightened and couldn't help but say:

"Black diamonds in the world are only produced in Central Africa and Brazil in South America. Considering the plate drift, these two places used to be the same place. Therefore, black diamonds can be said to be unique in the place of origin, so Black diamonds are also the rarest diamonds currently..."

"Oh! You actually know this!"

Kaito said slightly surprised, but then continued to explain:

“Yes, apart from the unique origin, there are currently no good artificial means that can imitate high-quality black diamonds.

“Whether it is the radiation method or the high-temperature and high-pressure method, the authenticity of the black diamonds produced can be identified by very simple means. This has also resulted in natural black diamonds becoming the most valuable diamonds due to their extremely high scarcity!

"As you mentioned just now, apart from Central Africa, the only place in the world that can produce black diamonds is South America, and South America happens to be the place where the Mesoamerican civilization spread. Although the earliest black diamonds recorded so far are from 1841 It was discovered by the Portuguese in Brazil in 1999, but it cannot be denied that diamonds may have been discovered by American civilizations thousands of years ago——

"And this is exactly what the Gus Group has been looking for."

"kindness?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he asked strangely:

"How do you know this?"

"Have you forgotten when I destroyed the Gus Group's branch in Japan? In addition to intercepting information about the Red Faced Mermaid, I also found a lot of confidential information about the Gus Group. From this information, I found out many secrets about this group.”

Kaito explained with a playful smile.

"So, you found so much information at that time, but you didn't tell me anything and just asked me to go to the American island to verify the information?"

After hearing Kaito's explanation, Gao Yuan couldn't help but darken his face, and said with a hint of displeasure:

"Even this time, if it weren't for the fact that a murder happened at the scene you went to, you wouldn't have even planned to tell me this!"

As if questioning, Takato looked at Kaito seriously.

"Ah, don't be angry, don't be angry..."

Looking at Gao Yuan's expression at this moment, Kaito smiled awkwardly, waved his hands and said:

"After all, the other party is an international criminal organization that specifically targets gems. Since it is related to gems, maybe I can find some clues I need from them, so I don't want others to get involved in this matter. After all..."

"Hmph, even if you want to start with the Gus Group, which also targets gems, to find possible clues about that organization, there is no need for you to hide it from me... After all, to me, this is It’s not a secret.”

Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

"That's what I said..."

Kaito said somewhat depressedly:

"Although when I first met you, when you told the news about my father, I guessed that you might even know about it, but in any case, it is me who has to deal with that organization. thing... Moreover, the head and tail of the 'Gus Group' in Japan were also completely cleared by the police after that incident, so there is no need to trouble you anymore...

"Besides, I don't want to owe you too many favors... What if you ask me to do a near-death job like saving people in an explosion? If I owe you too many favors, how can I refuse..."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan glanced at Kaito helplessly and couldn't help but say:

"What happened that time was also out of helplessness. Anyway, it is unlikely to happen again in the future."

"Really?"

Kaito looked at Gao Yuan with slightly suspicious eyes, and then said helplessly:

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's get to the point. After sorting out the information intercepted from the 'Gus Group', I found some clues from it——

"Originally, Japan was not the main place of activity for the 'Gus Group', but starting more than ten years ago, the 'Gus Group' began to operate aggressively in Japan, and even in Japan it suffered several attacks from the Japanese police and Interpol. After the encirclement and suppression, their activities did not slow down...

"It wasn't until we sabotaged their operation on the American island that time, and based on the information we provided to the police, that the group's fortune, which had been operating in Japan for more than ten years, was completely destroyed."

After hearing this, Gao Yuan keenly noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but ask:

"Huh? With our operation that time, we completely destroyed the home base of an international criminal organization that had been operating in Japan for a long time?"

He couldn't believe Kaito's statement at all. After all, Gao Yuan had done nothing except invading the company's database in order to investigate the IP address of Nakagawa Osang's email address and the members of the group discovered on the American island. What special thing happened? How could the power of a huge international criminal organization in one country be disintegrated like this?

"Yeah, I was a little unbelievable at the time."

Kaito couldn't help but nodded and said:

"But as I conducted in-depth investigations, I discovered that perhaps in that incident, we only played a role as a promoter. The disintegration of the 'Gus Group' in Japan had actually begun long ago -

"And the person who really plays a key role behind this should be Mr. Hisaku Ohashi!"

"What!"

Hearing the name again, Gao Yuan felt that the situation seemed a bit unexpected. He really didn't expect that the organizer of the charity auction that he and Kuroba Kaito participated in was just because of the news about a blue diamond. Hisakusaku Ohashi actually I've done this before!

And, more importantly -

"But... Ohashi Hisaku, according to the information I know, the 'Gus Group' can gain a foothold in Japan, and the shadow of Ohashi Hisaku is indispensable behind it..."

This is what can be inferred from what Shirozuka Hisui said——

According to what Shirozuka Hisui said, Nakagawa, Noguchi, and Ohashi, these three people are all related to an incident twenty years ago, and because of this incident, Nakagawa and Noguchi were involved in the activities of the "Gus Group" in Japan. There is an inseparable connection.

So, if you think about it this way, it is unlikely that Ohashi, who is also related to that case, has no connection with the "Gus Group"...

However, the information now obtained from Kuroba Kaito turns out to be the disintegration of the "Gus Group" in Japan, and it is actually related to Ohashi Hisaku. This is really...

"Huh? Have you found out all this?"

After hearing Gao Yuan's words, Kaito couldn't help but sigh slightly disappointedly, and murmured unwillingly:

"I originally wanted to say it to surprise you..."

After saying that, Kaito calmed down and continued:

"Yes, the 'Gus Group' can gain a foothold in Japan, and it is indeed inseparable from Ohashi Hisaku. But it is also because of this that with such a person behind the scenes, it is possible to defeat this group's power in Japan in one fell swoop... …

"In addition, because the group's capital chain suddenly broke, the successive encounters made the organization somewhat unsustainable. Otherwise, they would not have taken the risk and even dared to take the gem of the ambassador of the Kingdom of Krat in the Middle East.

"After all, once something like that is discovered, not only the Metropolitan Police will be furious, but even Interpol will come after hearing the news... This is the last resort."

——The capital chain is broken...

Due to the death of the original person, the Nakagawa family's original hope in the equipment developed by the original person was ruined. Instead, they were saddled with huge debts. As a result, the company was acquired, the head of the Nakagawa family committed suicide, and his eldest son Nakagawa Dazo was forced to work for the group. , even the second son and youngest daughter committed crimes and were imprisoned...

The gem of the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Krat in the Middle East...

In order to stall for time and hide the fact that the ambassador's gemstones stored in the bank's vault had been misappropriated, the sales manager of Miwa City Bank, Ryosuke Hasegawa, commissioned his girlfriend Mayuko Sonoda to create an incident so that the door of the vault could not be opened. As a result, Ryosuke Hasegawa But he used this incident to kill Sonoda Mayuko...

As for Hisaku Ohashi, he was killed by his granddaughter Chinatsu Ohashi at a charity auction party.

Noguchi Daigoro, who is also related to the "Gus Group", asked Shirozuka Jade for divination before his death. After his death, his daughter Miki Noguchi designed to take away diamonds worth one billion yen and disappear...

kindness?

Why do you feel that these things have something to do with you?

Slightly surprised, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be surprised by the current situation——

"So, this time you went to the deceased's house to find the gem. Did you get the information from those documents?"

Don't think about these things for the time being, and let's clarify the current situation first.

Thinking this way, Gao Yuan asked.

"Well, that's right."

Kaito nodded and continued to explain:

"After looking through the information, I found that a black diamond, which is a symbol of a senior member of the 'Gus Group', was not seized by the police..."

Having said this, Kaito paused deliberately and couldn't help but smile:

"As I said just now, the 'Gus Group' is very persistent in the possibility that American civilization had discovered black diamonds as early as 1841, and this may be related to the 'Gus Group' belief in the Aztec mythology It’s related to the ‘God of Night, Discatripoca’ in the film, after all, black diamonds are a symbol of the night…”

As he spoke, Kaito seemed a little unsure. Halfway through, he changed his words:

"Of course, I don't know much about Aztec mythology... If it's that guy Hongzi, he might be able to explain it clearly... In short, for the 'Gus Group', the black diamond is of extremely important significance, so The senior executives of the group also display their status by holding black diamonds.”

Speaking of this, Kaito suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but said excitedly:

"Ah, that's right! Having said that, I remembered that the purpose of the 'Gus Group' coming to Japan seems to be related to finding a mirror made of black diamonds. You know, 'The God of Night, Discatripo' Ka's name means 'Smoking Mirror' because there is a magic mirror on the back of his head——

"So the mirror made of black diamonds is a symbol of the highest power of the 'Gus Group'. However, for some reason, someone brought this mirror to Japan twenty years ago, but it disappeared..."

Said this, Kaito seemed a little excited:

"Having said that, if there is really a mirror made entirely of black diamonds, then I would really take a good look at it. After all, if it is really possible to make black diamonds the size of a mirror, then its own value is immeasurable. of!"

——A mirror made of black diamonds?

Black mirror?

Aztec mythology?

Mesoamerican civilization?

If you string together all the key points in this series...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan felt a little numb in his heart——

No wonder Shirozuka Jade would say such things at that time...

"The ancient mirror in the village is also a rare gem in a sense!"

Recalling this sentence and combining it with what Kuroba Kaito said, Gao Yuan couldn't help but start to wonder whether the ancient mirror he saw in Fifteen Nights Village was...

An ancient mirror composed of two mirrors, one side has long been broken, and the other side...

Damn it!

At that time, I didn't even care about the material of that ancient mirror!

And if all of these are related, then...

At that time, Noguchi Miki wanted to conceal her own affairs, as well as a piece of information that was inexplicably missing from the activity room at Nanyang University...

"Having said that, it was precisely because the police did not find the symbolic black diamond when they destroyed the power of the 'Gus Group' in Japan. But according to the teachings of the 'Gus Group', a local force's The person with the highest authority will definitely hold a black diamond as a status symbol.

"So I considered the possibility that the black diamond had been taken away by someone before the police took action. Then, after carefully investigating the whereabouts of the black diamond, I found that The black diamond was actually held by Nakagawa Entertainment Co., Ltd., and after the company was acquired, the whereabouts of the black diamond were unknown..."

Kaito couldn't help but explain:

"It was precisely with such clues that I successfully found the former project manager of Nakagawa Entertainment Co., Ltd., but I didn't expect... In short, when it comes to murder cases, I think you are better at it, right? "

After listening to all of Kaito's explanations, Takato nodded tiredly. After getting back the car keys from Terai Nonosuke, Takato drove to the apartment where Kaito said the crime scene was located. But they discovered that this apartment was the same apartment where Masajo Komura lived before...

Masajo Komura, Idea Village, Original Body, Nakagawa Entertainment Co., Ltd., Ohashi, Noguchi...

Behind these events, one after another, they were connected together in this way at this moment. Before that, I didn't even realize that there was such a story behind it. In addition, this time the series of interruptions happened one after another. Limb case...

Gao Yuan only felt that if he wanted to find out the truth of all this, he must find ways to find more critical clues from these past cases.

However, in many cases where the parties involved have long since died, if you want to figure it all out...

"Bounty: 1930"

Looking at the bounty balance on the panel, Gao Yuan sighed silently——

"With so many cases, there are only nineteen chances..."
