Chapter 130 - 10,000 taels of gold, 1 stone of white rice
"What do you mean by that?" Kimura was surprised.
"This treasure is comparable to a stone of gold and a stone," Conan asked, spreading his hands. "Excuse me, what does that mean?"
"This treasure can be equivalent to 10,000 taels of gold plus rice and one stone." Kimura replied subconsciously.
"This treasure is 'comparable' to Jin Wan Liang and Mi Yi Shi," Conan said with a smile, shaking his head. "In other words, this treasure is comparable to ten thousand taels of goldβ'or' a stone of rice. Please note that it is 'or'! β
"Or?" Kimura's expression was dazed. "Ten thousand taels of gold or one stone of rice? Are you saying that the treasure is under the control of some mechanism that randomly selects the gold taels and rice and one stone? But if that's the case, Takeda's descendants won't be able to take out the treasure freely... β
This hint means, "Conan, after listening to Kimura's inference, once again rejects Kimura's inference." "This treasure is equivalent to ten thousand taels of gold, and it is also equivalent to one stone of rice."
"Equivalent to ten thousand taels of gold, and equivalent to one stone of rice?" Not only Kimura's expression was extremely surprised, but even Tanaka was dumbfounded. "Don't you mean that..."
"That's right, may I ask, what is equivalent to ten thousand taels of gold, and equivalent to one stone of rice?" Conan asked with the teacher's questioning student's expression.
βγγγβ Kimura's eyebrows twitched. "Are you asking me?"
"If you can't think of it, forget it," Conan said with a faint smile on his face, as if mocking Kimura's ignorance. "Excuse me, how much is a stone of rice?"
"One stone..." Yuan Tai thought with some embarrassment. "The rice measuring cup at home should be one... It seems to be 180 ml... β
"One stone is the amount of rice a person eats in a year," Tadao finally answered. "One stone is 1,000 he, which is about 180 liters."
"I remember," Mitsuhiko suddenly thought of something. "At that time, it seemed that the price of one stone of rice was locked in one tael of gold, which was also the income standard of the samurai at that time... But this is too much different from gold, right? β
"Little one," Kimura's expression became gloomy again. "Getting to the point! What exactly are you talking about? β
"Alright," Conan said, sighing. "Again, how much does a stone of rice weigh?"
"How?" Kimura and Tanaka are obviously not househusband attributes, and they are both at a loss about this. On the other hand, even Tadao who had often acted as a commentator in the past was equally silent - perhaps Ryozo would know this, but it was a bit difficult to ask Tadao to know this.
At this point, the unexpected person gave an answer.
"150 kilograms," Gray replied as he stood up, patting the dust off his body. "Because one is 150 grams."
"That's right," Conan looked at Gray Plains with a slight hint of surprise. "So, what about the next question, Jin Wanliang?"
"I see!! Before the others could answer, Tadao had already said the answer with a look of sudden realization. "The legal weight of Koshu Lu one or two gold is 15 grams! So Jin Wanliang is also 150 kilograms! β
"That's what the hint means," Conan shrugged. "It takes 150 kilograms to activate the trap."
βγγγβ Kimura looked Conan in the eye and asked again after a moment. "So, what do we do if we have 150 kilograms?"
"Flashlight 90 degrees counterclockwise." Conan demanded.
Before a few people appeared, Kimura and Tanaka's flashlights were aimed at two points in front of them, a stone brick of some unusual colors and gray plain mourning; After several of them appeared, their flashlights were aimed at Tadao's eyes - to make sure that the most threatening adult could not use force; As Conan begins his discussion with Kimura, two flashlights begin to illuminate the ground, providing a dim, but more wide-ranging, diffuse light.
Now, Conan asks Kimura and Tanaka to illuminate the left side of the two.
"Tanaka, don't move your flashlight." After Kimura gave a command, he turned his flashlight in the direction that Conan had requested.
On the ground in that direction, there is a plank that is only half left.
"The plank was now in a broken state and only half of it was left, but it should have been whole." Conan was halfway through his sentence before he realized that he seemed to be a little off topic. "Well, that thing doesn't look right, so obviously it has some special function - for example, putting 150 kilograms in there. Then, the unusually colored stone brick you looked at with your flashlight might spit out something. β
"I'll be sorry for you," Kimura said, reasserting the shotgun he had inadvertently put down. "Weight Squad."
"Are you using us as a weight to trigger the gravitational trap of that plank?" Conan raised an eyebrow. "In that case, I'd suggest you let that girl come too."
He pointed to Gray Plains.
"That little girl?" Kimura glanced at Ash Plains not far away. "What are you going to do here? Are you going to take the hostages from us and escape? β
Judging from the current position, Kimura and Tanaka are only a few meters away from Ashbara, even if they are shotguns and don't aim, they can ensure that every projectile can be easily hit, but if they let her and his partners meet, then everyone will be more than fifteen meters away from the two, and if you want to hit this distance accurately, you must aim it, which is always more troublesome than close range.
"We're not that mean," Conan chuckled. "Mind you, it's not an easy trap to trigger, it's 150 kilograms. Do you thinkβ"
Conan pointed at himself, then at Mitsuhiko, Motota, and Tadao (Ayumi is still hiding). "It's almost impossible for the four of us to reach 150 kilograms, and it's about the same with that one."
Kimura then began to take a closer look at Conan and the four of them.
The adult man looked thin and weighed about 60 kilograms.
How does the little fat man look fat, 40 to 50 kilograms?
The freckles and eyes are relatively thin, and together they look like 30 to 40 kilograms...
The total is 130 to 150 kilograms, which is indeed likely to not meet the requirements of the agency.
"Alright then," Kimura motioned for Ashbara to join Conan. "Little girl, stand with them on that plank."
"Welcome back." Conan smiled as Gray Plains walked towards them.
"Yoshida?" Ashbara carries Kimura and Tanaka on his back, so he can lip talk like this without being noticed by them.
"Let's stand up together." Conan didn't answer Ashbara's question - in fact, he couldn't have answered it because he was being looked at head-on by Kimura and Tanaka, otherwise he would have been found to be abnormal.
As they walked together towards the plank, Conan spoke, and Gray Hara heard clearly, but he didn't hear clearly.
"Don't worry," Conan said softly, gesturing with both hands to the number 82. βAA-ALL-THE-WAYβ
"Huh?" Gray Plains was stunned.
"~~~" Conan's eyes narrowed into crescent moons and stopped talking. At the same time, beside him, the flashlight in Tadao's hand went out, and only two flashlights from Kimura and Tanaka were left in the entire space.
