He also learned from Dr. Agasa that the woman in the painting was his uncle's sister.

That is his aunt, a primary school teacher.

After her uncle passed away, she returned to her hometown.

"And so, no one has ever set foot in this villa for fifty years," Dr. Agasa explained.

"Come to think of it, they left behind quite a lot of things, all books and tableware." Haibara Ai walked up to Ayumi and murmured.

Ayumi was stepping on books to open a dining cabinet.

"That's because my uncle's last words stated that he hoped the villa would remain the same for fifty years after his death," Dr. Agasa continued to explain.

"Chen, come and look for it with us."

"Don't just walk around." Mitsuhiko turned his head and looked at Xingchen who was spinning around behind them.

Like a headless fly.

"But I'm really not very good at decryption." Xingchen took the lollipop out of his mouth and said as he watched the two people rummaging through the drawers.

"Hurry up, one more person can help." Yuan Tai waved his hand and said.

"Well, I guess."

"Decryption is done by humans. It is unlikely to be hidden in such a remote place." Xingchen said, touching his chin.

On the other side, Conan was still listening to Dr. Agasa telling the story here.

Maybe his uncle wouldn't leave any treasures behind, because this place will be demolished next month.

"I see. So you wanted to make use of this villa that's covered in dust before it gets demolished."

"Give them a treasure hunt, huh?" Conan said.

"That's it." Dr. Agasa nodded.

"There should be some clues around here." Xingchen thought to himself, how could Dr. Agasa hide so deeply?

Xingchen looked around, saw the words on the ground, pointed at the ground and said, "Look here, it looks like there are some words."

When the three little ones heard it, they turned to look at Xingchen and hurried over.

The three little ones gathered around to look at the writing on the ground.

"Really?" Ayumi also read the katakana above.

It doesn't seem to be a familiar word.

"Could it be English?" Ayumi asked puzzledly.

"It doesn't look like it. Could it be Arabic?" Mitsuhiko suggested.

"..." Huibara Ai crossed her arms and thought to herself that the questions asked by the professor were still a bit difficult for an elementary school student.

It's just a small problem for them.

Haibara Ai sighed inwardly, as expected, she came here just to keep the little ones company.

If Xingchen hadn't come, she would have stayed at home.

Xingchen was pushed out by the three little ones. He turned his head to look in the direction Conan went out, blinked and followed.

Inside the room, Conan saw Xingchen following him and thought he knew.

Conan turned his head and said, "Chen, you know it too, isn't it boring?"

"Oh, yeah." Xingchen nodded. You can't say that he didn't think about anything and just followed you here.

"Doctor, can't you hide better?" Conan looked at the table, then said while lying on the ground and seeing the box under the bed.

"Cover it with this cloth and push it in a little bit. Otherwise they will find it by accident." Xingchen said as he took out a piece of cloth from the cabinet.

"Hehe, isn't this just trying to cover up one's own mistakes? At least it's better than just putting a box so close to the bed. I can see it without having to lower my head." Conan smiled and nodded.

Conan took the cloth, covered the box and pushed it inside.

"Hey, there's no problem now." Conan said as he crawled out from under the bed. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a shiny object on the ground.

Conan clapped his hands, walked over to pick it up and said, "Is this a coin?"

"Why are you here?"

"Let me see, it's all dusty." Xingchen looked down at Conan and said.

Conan handed over the coin.

"And this coin seems to be a little smaller, it doesn't look like a real coin." Xingchen took the coin and said. Now he is a professional civilian scientist who specializes in identifying small coins.

After all, Xingchen always takes out his personal box to see how much cash is left inside.

Over time, Xingchen memorized the appearance of various types of cash.

I don’t know why, but his learning and memory abilities are much stronger than in his previous life.

"That means someone lived here and carved this coin." Xingchen guessed.

"Yeah, pretty much what I thought."

"And the word '国' above is still in the old font. The one-dollar coin was issued 44 years ago. It seems that the person who carved it was not very old." Conan popularized and speculated.

"Let's go back and talk to the doctor first." Xingchen nodded.

Although the two returned to the room and told Professor Agasa about their findings.

"But this doesn't mean that it was done by someone living here." Dr. Agasa initially thought that they didn't find what he had hidden.

After all, Xingchen and Conan looked lost in thought when they first came in through the door.

But after Conan exposed it, Xingchen handed the coin to Dr. Agasa and told him their speculation.

"No, he engraved the coin right here," Haibara Ai heard what they were saying and said while kicking a thick dusty book nearby.

Conan also found a few silver hairs and a piece of metal debris in the book.

"It is basically impossible to carve a coin in a short period of time, which means that the person has lived here for a while."

"But why did he engrave a one-dollar coin?" Xingchen was a little confused. It was very troublesome to make a coin like this.

The basic investment amount is much greater than the value of the coin.

Therefore, most people who make counterfeit money will choose to make large-denomination banknotes.

This is the only way to make a steady profit or even a huge profit.

"I don't know. If he just wanted to kill time, it would make sense. It's also unclear if he is the only one living here." Conan lowered his head and thought.

"I think there should be another child living here." Mitsuhiko said, holding a vase.

"Hmm?" Conan, Xingchen and Huihara Ai looked at Mitsuhiko.

"This is something I just found. It should prove that the child also lived here."

"You'll know if you look under this vase." Mitsuhiko held the vase in both hands and handed it to Xingchen.

"What is this?" Xingchen turned the vase upside down and saw three different patterns on the bottom of the vase: stars, the sun, and the moon.

Some stars are missing a corner or are black.

The sun is either black with a solid dot in the lower right corner, or it is a normal sun icon with two strokes missing.

There seem to be more kinds of moons: a waning moon, a black waning moon, a half moon with a hollow dot, and so on.

They seemed to be arranged in no particular order on the bottom of the vase.

"What is this?!" Conan's eyes gradually became serious.

"Look, this is what a child wrote on it," said Mitsuhiko.
