Chapter 7 Chapter 6 A "Sun Moon Gemstone Crown"

In the next day's newspaper, the news about the king of monsters, the Gorilla Baron, was reported in a big book, which plunged people in the society into an abyss of terror. The newspaper not only published the slides found in Baron Guliu's mansion, but also published Dr. Bei Dao's diary in more detail. The reason why the Metropolitan Police Department allowed these news and photos to be published in the newspaper was to draw on the power of the society. , Conquer the Monster Baron as soon as possible.However, everyone who saw this report trembled with fear. Monster King!Gorilla Baron!

Now the name has become a symbol of terror, the image of the ugly monster in the big dress, threatening people all the time, even appearing in people's dreams. In terms of the Metropolitan Police Department, of course, a large-scale search was conducted on the top and bottom of Baron Guliu's mansion, and all kinds of radio devices were found. In addition, no other evidence was found. I didn't even figure out where the horrible strange sound came from, and where the voices of Dr. Oyamada and others were transmitted. As for where the monster baron has been hiding since that incident?If it is a human, it can still disguise itself, but the gorilla cannot.Especially his ugly appearance, no matter where he goes, people will recognize him at a glance, but no one has discovered it until now.

Besides, the subordinates that the Monster Baron relied on as his right arm and right arm, one is a little scorpion and the other is a squint, and their characteristics are not easy to deceive people's eyes.That is to say, they all had indistinguishable characteristics, but in this short period of time, no one had seen them, and no one had heard anything about the Baron. As a result, various speculations arose: some people said that the monster baron's injury might not be fully healed yet; Plan something more terrible evil! ... A week and a fortnight passed amidst such divergence of accounts, when another frightful but vivid legend came forth.The details of this legend are:

It was late September, a night that was going to rain.A man who lived in Koyama Village, Kohinokadai Town, Koishikawa, walked up the Dainichi Slope at around twelve o'clock at night, wanting to go home. Da Ri Slope is a rather steep slope, even in the daytime few people walk this road, and it is twelve o'clock at night, and the sky is gloomy and about to rain, so it is even more silent, of course, no one can be seen. Shancun bent slightly, and was walking up step by step with wheezing and wheezing, when dogs barking suddenly came from all directions.The barking made one feel as if all the dogs living in Tai-cho were barking.

Yamamura felt a little apprehensive.Hearing a dog barking in the middle of the night is not a good feeling, not to mention the noise of the dog barking tonight, it is even more frightening and offending.At this moment, some kind of pitch-black monster, with a gust of wind, swept past the mountain village with a gust of wind, rolling and crawling down the slope. Shancun hurriedly stepped back, and looked at the back of the monster in surprise. At this moment, a gust of wind blew past again, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be a wolfhound like a calf, like an arrow. He chased after the black shadow just now.Shancun was so frightened that he broke into a sweat.

At the foot of the slope near the big sun slope, there is a small temple dedicated to some god. There is an ever-burning lamp in that small temple. On the pitch-black slope, only this point is lit. The wolf dog caught up with the monster in front of the small temple, and jumped on it. Shancun was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, only saw the dog start a life-and-death fight with the monster. At the beginning, the wolfhound kept jumping and dodging, dodging and pouncing, roaring and waiting for the opportunity, and after a while, it rushed towards the opponent's throat.As a result, the two bodies wrestled together and fell to the ground in a somersault.

The two figures who fell on the ground rolled over there for a while, then rolled over here for a while, and then there was a terrifying howl that tore through the silence of the night, never heard before: "Wow!—" Of course, it wasn't a human voice, but it wasn't the barking of a wolf dog either. It was an indescribably eerie sound, and at the same time I heard: "Quack! Quack—" A dog screamed, with a sharp and long tail, trembling in the silent night sky. It seemed that the fighting was over, and the surroundings immediately returned to silence.The sound of the dog barking all the time stopped at some point.

At this moment, the monster stood up staggeringly from the ground... For a flash, it appeared in the faint light of the ever-burning lamp, Shancun saw this figure, and the blood on his whole body seemed to turn cold all of a sudden. . oops!that's it!Exactly like the photo of Baron Monster that was published in the newspaper. The Monster Baron picked up the tall top hat that was rolled aside, kicked the wolf dog angrily, and then roared again with a "wow", and disappeared into the dark road like a gust of wind. After a long time, Shancun walked up to the dog with trepidation and took a look, oh, what a tragedy!The wolfhound's mouth was torn in two.

King of the Monsters, Baron the Gorilla, appears on Big Ripo and tears the mouth of a wolfhound the size of a calf in two.This legend soon spread throughout the city of Tokyo and once again shocked everyone.And in the commotion of people, what is Dr. Oyamada doing? The doctor is sitting alone in his study at home.He himself called this study "Dream Palace".Just like Prince Shotoku was contemplating and practicing Buddhism in the dream hall of Horyuji Temple, the doctor was also thinking carefully about the battle against the monster baron in his own dream hall. The doctor also heard the legend about the appearance of the monster baron in Daripo, and now he is thinking about it—why did the baron go to Daripo?Is the baron's hiding place near there?

While the doctor was thinking about it, the electric bell of the gate rang.The doctor quickly stood up and pressed the button as usual.Immediately, a young man in his thirties who looked like a painter or sculptor appeared on the fluorescent screen on the table.He seemed a little panicked, talking incoherently to Gong Zhu who went out to receive him. "Haha, it seems that this guy has something to worry about." While the doctor was talking to himself, the small yellow light on the table suddenly turned on.This is the signal from Gongsuke to ask the doctor: Bring in?Or refuse?The doctor thought for a moment and pressed the blue button.I thought, let's see.

Not long after, the doctor met the young man in the living room.In front of the doctor is a business card printed with Qingmao Chunni. "Ah, your name is Aonuma, what's the matter?..." Hearing the doctor's question, the young man who had been shy all this time suddenly trembled all over his body like convulsions and shouted: "Sir, help me, help me!" Because it was too sudden, the doctor looked down at the other person's face as if he was a little surprised. "Help you! What the hell does this mean?" "I'm being targeted. I'm being targeted by that guy. Oh, it's terrible, sir, please help me!" "That guy? Who is that guy you're referring to?" "Sir, haven't you heard? That guy appeared on Daripo the night before yesterday?... I live on top of Daripo, and that guy came aiming at me." The doctor was taken aback, and looked at the other person's face again. "Aonuma-kun, are you referring to Baron Furyanagi?" "Yes, that dreaded Baron the Gorilla." "But, does Baron Guliu have any resentment towards you?" "No, it doesn't really matter directly, but he was sentenced to death... Judge Kume who sentenced that guy to death is my uncle. I am the son of Judge Kume's younger sister. As far as the judge is concerned, I am His only living relative." Dr. Oyamada left his chair suddenly, walked up and down the room two or three times, then put his hand on the young man's shoulder and said: "Understood. Judge Kume, who sentenced Baron Koyanagi to death, died last year. Judge Kume is a bachelor and has no children. In this way, that guy is targeting you, the judge's only relative. ,right?" "Yep!" "However, is there any evidence that he was targeted? Just because that guy appeared in Daripo, it's just a bit taken for granted..." "Sir, please look at this!" What the young Aonuma took out from his pocket was a crumpled piece of paper. The doctor took the piece of paper strangely, stretched it out for a look, and gasped involuntarily. A large handprint was sticky on the paper, and it was not a human palm, but exactly the same shape as the blood-stained hand that Shirou and the others had seen in the castle hall on Baron Island. "Where did you get this piece of paper?" "It fell in my yard this morning. Whether it was dropped unconsciously or deliberately to threaten me. I don't know. However, the guy did come to this point, and it can't be wrong. Except That guy, I'm afraid there will never be such a terrible hand shape again." The doctor looked at it carefully for a while, then folded the paper neatly and said: "Let me keep this piece of paper for now, but, Aonuma-kun, what do you want me to do for you?" "Sir, I just want to ask this! What do you think I should do? I don't want to go back to Da Ripo anyway. Grandma and I are too lonely and terrible. We can't do that again Live on. See, sir, what shall I do?" "Aonuma-kun, don't you have friends elsewhere?" "Yes, there are my friends in the apartment in Ushigome." "That's right! Then you can spend the night there tonight. However, don't say that you are being targeted by Baron Guliu. You need to find another excuse. Then, I'm still busy..." Aonuma Chunni helplessly stood up staggeringly. "Sir, can I come here often to ask for advice? I always feel a little timid, and the only one I can rely on is sir!" The doctor looked at the young man's face silently, and then said: "Yes, but don't come too often. Please come often. Then..." The young man from Aonuma walked towards the door slowly, but he seemed to remember something.Turning around, he said to the doctor: "Ah, yes, I almost forgot. Sir, besides the shape of the hand just now, there is such a thing left behind!" It was a newspaper clipping. As soon as the doctor saw this newspaper clipping, his body trembled as if he had been electrocuted. After the young man named Aonuma left, Shirou and the little fat man ran into the living room with laughter. "Father, Usami-san really knows how to put on makeup and become a 100% homeless man." "Well, even if you walk across from that person with that kind of makeup, you won't be recognized as the young man who came out to receive him just now." "So, brother Gongzhu followed that young man just now?" The doctor smiled grinningly. "Well, didn't I press that button just now? That told Usami to 'make up and follow the guests', so he disguised himself as a homeless man, well done!" I don't know exactly when the doctor pressed the button.It seems that there are various hidden secret devices in this living room. "Dad, why did you follow that person just now? Is there anything suspicious?..." "No, it's not that there is anything suspicious. However, there is a little bit of worry..." "Uncle, why don't you let me make up? Uncle, give me some tasks too! If you want me to make up, I will definitely be able to capture Baron Gorilla!" The little fat man stared around and begged vigorously.However, no one even dreamed at the time that the little fat man really did a great job in disguise shortly after that. At this moment, the door bell rang again.This time it's the Waiting Force Police Department.After the police department came to the living room, Shi Lang and the little fat man left the room to avoid it. "Wait, Mr. Li, there is something new... Ah, you can't hide it even if you want to. Your face has already shown it. What's the situation this time?" The police department smiled wryly because their thoughts were seen through: "Well, nothing can be hidden from sir. To be honest, something strange has happened." According to the police department, a man named Zetian came to the Metropolitan Police Department today.Sawada is a well-known craftsman who makes western clothes in Tokyo.He told the Waiting Force Police Department: A few days ago, he received a call. The caller said that he was a rich and famous person who wanted to make western clothes. He asked him to measure the size. If he agreed, he would send a car to pick him up. he.A very handsome car arrived a short time after he had given his assent.But, get in the car and see... "Is that squinting man sitting inside?" "Exactly, it is said that the slanted eyes were still covered with sunglasses! But later, just like Dr. Ogata, he was blindfolded with a black cloth, and he was taken to a place where he met Baron Gorilla. He was there He was detained for three days, and he was ordered to make a suit that was exactly the same as the great coat and cloak worn by the Baron." "What about the material and the sewing machine?" "It is said that these things were prepared by the other party, and the material of the clothes is exactly the same as that worn by the baron. The baron is a little too particular, even if it is not close." Two sets of western clothes with the same material, style and size... Dr. Oyamada always felt a little strange, incomprehensible, and a little uneasy in his heart. "So, when you came back, you were blindfolded, so you didn't know where you went, did you?" "Yes, but the strange thing is that the structure of that room is exactly the same as that of the hall in Takanawa's mansion." "What did you say?" Dr. Koyamada couldn't help asking aloud, but immediately seemed to realize: "Didn't the Gu Liu's house have someone under surveillance?" "Yes, so it can't be that house, and everything that Sawada said is exactly the same as that house, so I feel very strange." Dr. Oyamada thought silently for a while and said: "When was that tailor taken away by them?..." "Calculating from now, it was exactly a week ago. It is said that he was locked up there for three days." "So, it was before the incident at Da Ri Po. But why didn't the tailor report earlier?" "This is because he fell ill suddenly from the day he was sent back, and he is still in a daze until today. No wonder he is sick, and the other party is the gorilla Baron who is currently talking about in society, maybe he was frightened .” Two sets of foreign clothes, two sets of foreign clothes, really elusive two sets of foreign clothes! ... Dr. Oyamada pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered something—— "Yes, yes, I still have something to tell you!" So, I told the story of the spring mud in the marsh just now. "...In addition to Baron Guliu's hand shape, he also said that he dropped such a newspaper clipping." When the Police Department saw this newspaper clipping, it also let out an "Ah" in fright. October 3rd is the day to celebrate the 80th birthday of billionaire Igarashi Hosaku.On that day, the Igarashi family will invite many relatives and friends to hold a grand congratulatory reception at the mansion from the morning.Baozuo is a well-known gem collector throughout the country. He has collected countless gems, among which the "Sun and Moon Gem Crown" is the most precious. Diamonds are world-famous treasures.Interestingly, it is said that the guests will be allowed to watch this rare treasure-the crown on that day. "Sir, maybe Baron Gu Liu was touched by our plan!" "Well, that's why he sent his subordinates to check on my face with this newspaper clipping... Because I thought of this, I asked Gongzhu to follow that young man... Anyway, I don't know about the life experience of Qing Nu Chunni. Need to figure it out." Dr. Koyamada muttered. Let us look at Usami Kyosuke's follow-up. Kyosuke followed Haruni according to his husband's order, and unknowingly came to Takanawadai Town, and Kyosuke felt more and more suspicious. Takanawadai Town is the location of Baron Koyanagi's mansion, Kyousuke thought that this guy might be the baron's accomplice, so he followed closely.But Chunni didn't go to the baron's mansion, but walked into an alley.Strange, is my guess wrong?Just thinking of this, Chun Ni's behavior suddenly became suspicious.Always seems to be a little restless.Peeping around. "Hey! What is this guy looking for?" Gongsuke followed closely. The sky has reached the twilight dusk, and there are no people in the quiet residential area. Chunni suddenly turned around and ran up the five or six wide stone steps, and got into the nearby building in the blink of an eye. "Oops!" Usami Kyosuke uttered a cry, and immediately ran to the front of the building that Haruhi had entered just now.There he couldn't help but stare wide-eyed in surprise. You can tell at a glance that this is a church!And on the gable of this building, even night-blind people can vaguely see the words "Takanawa Church". Speaking of the church, isn't that the place where Dr. Ogata was brought to the baron's mansion and heard the bell at night?What is Chunni doing in this church?No, even if there is something, why are you so sneaky?Kyosuke also hurried up the steps, and pushed the door with his hands. Unfortunately, it seemed that the latch was locked from the inside.So Kyosuke walked around to the side of the house, and luckily a window was open.Looking in from there, there is really someone, squatting in the shadow of the large column on the dim altar, I don't know what he is doing there.There is no doubt that it is the green marsh spring mud. "Strange, what is he doing there?" When Kyosuke was looking in desperately through the window, suddenly someone shouted from behind: "You, what are you doing there?" Kyosuke looked back in a daze, and it turned out to be a nun in black standing there.The nun stared intently at Kyousuke with her bright suspicious eyes. "Ah, well... because a suspicious person ran in just now..." The nun smiled slightly.Showing a look of disbelief.Gongzhu tried to explain: "It's true. A suspicious person really ran in. Look, it's in that place..." However, there is no shadow of spring mud there.Seeing Kyosuke blinking her eyes in surprise, the nun smiled again and said: "Really? Then let's go in and check!" The nun quietly walked in through the side door.Kyosuke also walked in, but strangely, there was no sign of Chunni.He and the nun searched every nook and cranny, but they still couldn't find Chunni. "Strange!" said the nun to herself. "It's a bit strange, there is indeed a suspicious person running in!" Gongsuke tried to defend himself, but the nun smiled heartily and said: "I, believe you, the 'strange' I mentioned just now refers to this door." The nun pointed to the door, implying that the door was bolted tightly from the inside. "Because I remembered that when I came here just now, I forgot to close this door bolt. But now it is locked well, which shows that someone has indeed been here. But where did that person go?" "I can't tell!" To be on the safe side, Kyosuke checked all the windows again.All plugged in from the inside.This makes it even more strange. "When I looked in from the window just now, that person was indeed squatting near here..." While Kyosuke was knocking on the base of the big column, he suddenly found something like a sparkling gem on the top of the altar, which made him almost cry out.Assistant Gong quickly picked it up and put it in his pocket.Luckily the nun didn't notice. "It's really strange. But there's nothing you can do, let's go out!" After Kyousuke said this to the kind nun in a shameful tone, in order to cover up his embarrassment, he had nothing to say: "The bells of this church are so nice! When I hear the bells, I feel like I have been purified." After hearing this, the nun smiled peacefully and said: "Well, thanks to you, it was finally repaired, and it can ring like before." "So, is something broken?" "Well, there was a crack, and it didn't ring from the middle of summer until the beginning of this month." "what?" Gong Zhu shuddered, and couldn't help but stop. "No, it can't be, on the night of September 1st, someone still heard the bell!" The nun shook her head steadily and said: "No, I'm afraid that person made a mistake. The clock stopped ringing on August 15th, and it was repaired the next day. It was finally repaired on September 5th. How could it happen on September 1st?" Did you hear that bell?" Gong Zhu was in such a fog, he couldn't make out his mind.So, which bell was the bell that Dr. Ogata heard?
