Chapter 1093: Fukuzawa Yukichi Hidden in the Scribe
Chapter 1093: Fukuzawa Yukichi Hidden in the Scribe
At this time, an old man came over with his hands behind his back. He was the principal of Teitan Elementary School.
He glanced in the direction the police left and said with some emotion: "The last time the police came to this school seemed to be 10 years ago."
This time point is too coincidental. Youya couldn't help but ask: "Did anything happen 10 years ago?"
The principal looked at Yuya and said with a smile: "Isn't this Kamiya? It seems like you haven't come back to school for a long time."
You was a little surprised: "Principal, do you still remember me?"
The principal chuckled, stroked his beard and said, "Of course I remember. In your class, you and Kudo were the most troublesome. Not only did you get into trouble all the time, but you also brought Maori with you. I don't know how many times we asked the parents to come."
If it weren't for the fact that these three people have always been at the top of the class, and if it weren't for the fact that these were minor troubles that even naughty kids would cause, they couldn't be expelled, so they had to transfer schools.
Yuya immediately showed an embarrassed expression and stammered, "I was still young at that time and didn't know much."
Conan also had an embarrassed expression on his face. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the principal. He also secretly glared at Yuya.
Although he had forgotten a lot of things from his childhood, he remembered one important thing clearly, that is, among the troubles he had caused, 10 out of 8 were instigated by Yuya and he had intended to take the blame for the remaining one.
As for the other thing, it was because Mao Lilan was led astray and occasionally did things out of sheer brain drain.
The principal chuckled, thinking back to the past, and couldn't help revealing a nostalgic look. He slowly said, "I still remember one time..."
Yuya quickly interrupted him: "Principal, you haven't told me why the police came to the school 10 years ago."
The principal was stunned for a moment. He forgot what he was going to say after being interrupted. He thought that his memory was not good due to his age, so he changed to talk about what happened 10 years ago.
Ten years ago, four robbers broke into a wealthy family's home near Teitan Elementary School. They killed the owner of the family, stole gold bars worth 10 million yen and fled. Late at night on the same day, several suspicious figures were seen entering Teitan Elementary School.
After receiving the report, the police rushed to Teitan Elementary School to investigate, but found nothing.
Youya hissed, he also remembered this case, but at that time he was unable to participate due to his age, he could only follow the news, but he seemed to have never seen any related reports since then.
"I seem to remember this case. By the way, were those robbers caught?"
The principal shook his head and said, "No, but evildoers will eventually be punished. They are probably living in fear somewhere."
After saying these words, the principal walked away slowly with his hands behind his back.
The bones that had been left undiscovered for 10 years, the robbery that had occurred 10 years ago, and the robbers had also broken into Teitan Elementary School.
This is too much of a coincidence.
Youye suddenly felt that the principal's appearance here was like an NPC specially refreshed to provide them with clues, wanting them to solve the case from 10 years ago.
"Um, Kamiya-san?" Wakasa Rumi called out tentatively.
Youya was stunned, then he remembered that there was someone beside him: "What's wrong?"
Wakasa Rumi asked weakly: "Well, are we still looking for lime? In the afternoon's physical education class..."
Yuya slapped his head and almost forgot about the important matter.
"It's okay. I just saw a few bags of lime in the basement. Just wait here. I'll be back soon."
"Ok."
Yuya went back to the basement and shone a flashlight around. There were a few bags of lime in the corner, blocking a marking machine.
Youye walked over and patted the lime, confirming that the bag was still intact and the lime inside could still be used, so he prepared to take a bag back.
Suddenly, he paused and his eyes fell on the scriber.
If the dead man is really related to the robbery case 10 years ago...
He thought for a moment, stopped what he was doing, squatted in front of the marker and tapped it gently.
The sound was a bit dull, as if the lime inside had not been taken out.
"That's strange. Generally speaking, the lime will fall out when the scriber is put away. Otherwise, it will get damp and clump together, which will affect the next use..."
Yuya frowned slightly, reached out to open the cover of the scriber, shone the flashlight, and the next second his pupils suddenly shrank - it was Fukuzawa Yukichi!
The box where the scriber was supposed to be placed was filled with money. At first glance, all of them were Fukuzawa Yukichi notes with a denomination of 10,000 yuan. The amount was at least hundreds of millions!
"How could it be..." Youye was stunned. He took out one of the stacks of banknotes, which were all new.
Although it is impossible to tell the year from the printing on the banknote, judging from the rust and dust on the scriber, it was probably hidden here 10 years ago.
Yuya's eyes flickered, and he recalled the signs that the basement had been opened when he first came to the old warehouse. Could it be that the dead person was the one who was responsible for handling the gold bars back then?
Unexpectedly, he died here accidentally. His accomplices came here to look for him not long ago, but the body had turned into bones. They did not recognize him, nor did they find the money hidden in the scriber.
If things were really as he guessed, the sudden appearance of the police in the school today would definitely attract the attention of those people, and they might be secretly monitoring this place now.
Don't act rashly for now, you have to find a way to lure them out.
After making up his mind, Youya put the marker back to its original position, first took out a bag of lime separately, then used the remaining bag of lime to cover the marker, and then left the basement carrying the first bag of lime.
When they came outside, Wakasa Rumi was the only one left.
"Conan and the others have already returned to the classroom." Wakasa Rumi explained.
She looked inside the old warehouse and asked weakly, "Why did you take so long down there? Did you find anything new?"
After what happened just now, Wakasa Rumi already knew that Yuya was a detective, and a famous high school detective, so it was not strange for her to ask this question.
Yuya shook his head: "No, it's just that the bag has been there for too long, and it took me some time to pick out the intact one."
"Let's go back too. We've been delayed for so long and physical education class is about to start."
"Ok."
Yuya walked in front carrying a bag of lime, and Wakasa Rumi followed quietly on the side.
She raised her head slightly and glanced at Yuya's profile out of the corner of her eye, and found that he had a thoughtful expression on his face, wondering what he was thinking about.
Yuya, who was thinking about how to lure out the bandits, did not notice the faint smile on Wakasa Rumi's lips.
