Chapter 854

Senma Furuyo was stunned for a moment. "I hadn't thought of that. What? Your hawk is dead?"

She thought for a moment and said: "There are many crows in the forest around this villa. It is said they were raised here by the billionaire Karasuma Renya; he loved crows very much. Perhaps it was killed by them."

Crows vs. a hawk?

Hakuba Saguru thought about it briefly and felt it was unlikely.

They weren't even in the same weight class, okay?

Akaso Kaze led everyone to the dining hall and didn't speak, just pointed at the clock on the wall.

Everyone present was a famous detective or a master thief; they looked at the clock following Akaso Kaze's finger, their eyes thoughtful.

Two travelers in a hurry, looking up at the celestial phenomena at night.

In a sudden instant, a flash of lightning struck everyone's brains.

So that's how it is!

"The first line of the code, 'Two travelers in a hurry, looking up at the celestial phenomena at night,' refers to the hour hand and minute hand on this clock."

"Since they are looking up, it should mean the hour hand and minute hand are both pointing to the twelve o'clock position."

"The King, Queen, and Soldier in the code actually refer to K, Q, and J."

"Just turn the hands according to the direction the faces on the cards are pointing."

"First, rotate 13 notches to the left."

"Then, rotate 12 notches to the left."

"Finally, rotate 11 notches to the right."

"Look, the hands are moving on their own!"

Amidst everyone's terrified gazes, the hands on the wall suddenly began to move, exactly in the order they had just mentioned.

This was, of course, Akaso Kaze's hand of intent.
