Conan kissed me again and again, and Huiyuan was stunned

"Oh, well, today's weather is nice~"

Xiaolan was caught off guard when she heard Princess Mira talking about the weather. She subconsciously glanced at the afternoon sun outside the window and looked at Mira, who seemed a little guilty, in a friendly way. She felt something was wrong and asked in a puzzled voice:

"What's wrong, why did Mira bring up the weather for no reason?"

"Ah, I mean, otherwise..."

Princess Mira panicked for a moment, gently let go of Xiaolan, and looked at her calmly, confirming that she had not noticed that Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi had disappeared. Her thoughts raced as she whispered a suggestion:

"Can we go to the beach together later?"

"sure."

Xiaolan smiled happily, tapped her red lips with her right index finger, and added considerately:

"I know you've always wanted to meet Sonoko and tell her about your feelings for Dongfang. I'll ask Sonoko to go to the beach when the time comes. Just seize the opportunity~"

"Hmm~!"

Princess Mira nodded slightly and smiled sweetly.

--------

at the same time.

Bright entrance hall with the door closed.

Kudo Shinichi stood at the end of the corridor near the entrance, with his back to the wall, his left arm facing the door, his body facing the eastern moon, his eyes closed, and he explained in a calm and low voice:

"I already understand the meaning behind the 11:00 on the electronic clock. The problem lies in the English words on the forehead of the wooden sculpture of the devil on the cuckoo clock."

"Shinichi, did you mean L, N, and R~?"

Dongfang Haoyue put his hands upright behind his back and clasped them together, admiring Kudo Shinichi seriously.

"Yes."

Kudo Shinichi slowly opened his eyes, looked at Dongfang Haoyue calmly, and analyzed meticulously in a low voice:

“According to my reasoning about the 11:00 on the electronic clock, the wood carving’s forehead should not have been painted with L, N, or R, but with the number 0 or the English letter O.

That’s why I think the cuckoo clock and the electric clock are two different codes.”

"Oh~~~"

Dongfang Haoyue tilted her head and smiled cutely.

Kudo Shinichi was touched by his cuteness.

He looked at Dongfang Haoyue embarrassedly, his handsome face flushed charmingly, and he responded softly:

"In short...in short."

Kudo Shinichi tried his best to concentrate his mind and described it seriously in a low voice:

“The cuckoo clock chimes at 1:10pm and three similar goblin carvings slide out of the cuckoo house…wait!

To be exact, it is the same wood carving, which suggests that we add the same suffixes to L, N and R in English...

So that's it, I understand everything now!"

Kudo Shinichi thought for a moment, and suddenly it became clear. His blue pupils lit up with excitement. He excitedly dragged the confused Dongfang Haoyue to the entrance, looked up at the double-opening door, and found what he expected...

There are traces of a smaller rectangle remaining on the upper right side of the left door panel surface.

Dongfang Haoyue looked up at the rectangular mark and made an uncertain judgment:

“Is this a wooden lid that can be lifted?”

"Yes, on the back is the lion statue that comes with the door knocker."

Kudo Shinichi nodded slightly, turned around and looked at the shoe cabinet on the left, bent down, properly took off his pink slippers, changed into white sneakers, and looked softly at Dongfang Haoyue who jumped to the left and also changed into sneakers, and invited in a light tone:

"Follow me, Haoyue~"

"Hmm~!"

Dongfang Haoyue held out her little hand with full trust and smiled with a crescent-shaped smile.

Kudo Shinichi took Haoyue's soft little hand with his left hand, held the door handle with his right hand, turned it gently, and pushed the door open with a little force.

The bright sunshine poured down, illuminating them as if caressing them.

Kudo Shinichi looked at the empty tall cylinder on top of the handrail on the right side of the stairs not far to the right in front of him, then looked at the open-air corridor on the right. He tenderly took Dongfang Haoyue's hand and walked out of the door, turned right, walked slowly forward, closed the door, and gently judged:

"If my guess is correct, there should be something underneath the hole in the study."

"what?"

Dongfang Haoyue tilted his head and curiously observed Kudo Shinichi's facial expression, trying to see through his inner thoughts and know the truth in advance, but he failed.

Shinichi walked along the corridor to the end, looked down at the green grass below, bravely jumped down holding Haoyue's hand, turned right and walked forward, walked around the corner of the villa, put his right hand in his pocket, turned to look at Haoyue, and answered elegantly and casually:

"That object could be a mirror or some other reflective object."

"Mirror?"

Dongfang Haoyue became more and more curious. He held Kudo Shinichi's white and tender little hand slightly, and his black pupils exuded a desire for knowledge.

Shinichi walked to the dirt ground in front of the left side of the study hole. In order to prevent the people in the study from hearing the noise, he turned his head to look at Haoyue and confirmed in a melodious voice:

"That's right~"

Without waiting for Dongfang Haoyue's response, Kudo Shinichi looked down at the ground and found...

In the lower right front outside the hole, there is a mirror embedded in the soil, accurately refracting the sunlight toward the hole.

Dongfang Haoyue followed Kudo Shinichi's line of sight and looked at the mirror. He was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized something and thought in his heart:

“No wonder when I was in the study room before, the sunlight shone through the hole below onto the mirror on the desk. It turned out that there was a mirror outside the hole that refracted the sunlight.

But...what purpose can such a mechanism serve...?"

Dongfang Haoyue was puzzled and extremely confused.
