Chapter 1027: You should use your brain too

~3 min read 546 words

Because of Ayumi and the others, Akaso Kaze had to act as a babysitter.

"I know what you guys are planning," he glanced at Genta and the others, "absolutely no running around later, you hear me?"

"Okay."

Genta and the others grinned and agreed obediently, while Akaso Kaze curled his lip.

The more readily these guys agree, the more likely something will go wrong...

Akaso Kaze emphasized, "I can take you with me, but no one is allowed to act alone."

"What about Conan?"

"Same for him."

In the North Mansion, Akaso Kaze naturally had his own room.

Tokei had prepared a large room for the children.

The two rows of beds inside were enough for quite a few people to stay, and since they were just a group of children, they didn't need to worry about anything and just picked the beds they liked.

After a sumptuous dinner, it was already 9 o'clock at night. As the bell chimed, Tokei appeared silently before everyone once again.

"Everyone," Tokei stood before the dining table, "I will now begin to announce the riddle... When the horns on the bull's head disappear and the tail becomes the head, the angel will descend from the sky and blow a flute; that melody is where my treasure lies..."

"Is that it?" Genta stared blankly at the middle-aged man who had stopped speaking.

"Yes," Tokei reminded them, "from now until the same time tomorrow, you have 24 hours. I hope you can solve the riddle in time."

Tokei left the dining room quickly, leaving everyone behind to struggle with the riddle.

"But," Mitsuhiko said in distress, "there are so many bulls here, which one is it referring to?"

"Does that even need to be said?" Genta said confidently, "It must be that super huge bull in the Bull Mansion. Maybe the treasure map is hidden inside those horns, right, Brother Akaso?"

Akaso Kaze smiled faintly and looked at the cheerful Genta.

Even if one were terrible at cracking codes, one would know that what Genta said was completely unreliable.

"Idiot," Mitsuhiko said irritably, "if it were that simple, the 16 people before us would have found the treasure long ago."

"However," Conan pondered, "although 16 people have challenged it, we didn't see any traces when we came over just now. Mr. Tokei clearly cleaned up all the clues left by those people."

"There's no help for it; that's the only way it's fair to all the challengers..."

"If that's the case, those people might have found some clues at the giant bull," Genta insisted with a huff, "there must be something hidden inside the horns of that giant bull!"

"Genta..."

Akaso Kaze stood up and said, "Before going to sleep, I'll take everyone for another walk around this Angel Mansion."

Genta and the others all cheered excitedly.

Conan frowned.

When the horns on the bull's head disappear and the tail becomes the head, the angel will descend from the sky and blow a flute; that melody is where my treasure lies...

He didn't know what the first half meant yet, but the second half should be related to the four angel statues around them; perhaps there was some mechanism.

Then the first half was very likely to determine which angel statue...
