Haibara Ai crossed his arms and said with a half-smile, "Putting a poisonous spider in a place like this, it seems that Sansui Kichiemon is not only a weird person, but also has a bad heart."
In this situation, she was inexplicably relaxed.
In the world of bounty hunters, no one cares whether she doesn't know how to express herself or is unsociable, and no one expects her to smile and be friendly.
Because there are many weirder people than her.
And these people don't have a common group like an organization. They can just partner up as they like, or wander alone as they like, choose to be a good person as they like, or be a bad person as they like. Although there is a risk of being stabbed by their peers, she
I also feel that this gray area has an extraordinary charm.
Of course, it may also be the influence of her family's brother Chi. When she thinks of bounty hunters, she will think of the silent late nights when they packed live delivery boxes together, and the feeling of being surrounded by tranquility and freedom.
, so that she still can't find anything else to replace it.
On the side, Ayumi asked in a low voice, "Will this big sister be Kidd?"
Genta muttered speechlessly, "Isn't Kidd a man?"
"He might also disguise himself as a woman." Mitsuhiko reminded in a low voice.
Conan didn't say anything. He couldn't yet judge the identities of these three people. Even July might be Kidd in disguise. Likewise, these three people might be the murderers of the man outside. He still had to
Observe again.
After the woman put away the dagger, she joked, "Children, you'd better be careful, there might be poisonous spiders over there!"
"ah……"
Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi immediately moved away from the wall.
Haibara Ai:"……"
It seems that many bounty hunters have this bad taste of scaring people?
Compared to Brother Fei Chi and this woman, the burly man with a crew cut actually looks very honest.
The woman looked at the burly man and Chi Feichi and asked with a smile, "So, now we can all join forces temporarily? Do you want to go to the top floor to have a look?"
"certainly……"
As soon as Yuanta opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a gentle and casual male voice.
"No, you should go to the bottom floor." Chi Feichi said,
Now that everyone is here, let's take the people down to meet Kuroba Kaito as planned.
Then push forward the plot, and after Kuroba Kaito confirms that the treasure cannot be moved, and after Conan and the others prove that this woman is a murderous 'poisonous rat', he will arrest her and take her away.
"Huh?" Bumi and Guangyan looked at Chi Feichi in confusion.
Conan's eyes lit up, and he also looked at a certain man in black robes, asking for confirmation, "'The Nioh's Nest is only a stone's throw away from the Sun Disk.' It seems that he is telling us to go to the top floor closest to the sun, but in this house
Mechanism, if you want to go up, you have to go to the place that seems to be down. If you want to go up, it is the opposite. Then, the meaning of this sentence that symbolizes the high and low directions must also be interpreted in reverse, that is, go to the bottom layer that is farthest from the sun.
,Right?"
"I have already looked for the top floor," the woman touched her chin, "There is indeed no treasure, but..."
"I searched all over the first floor and found no treasure." The burly man looked at Chi Feichi and then looked at a group of children speechlessly. "And didn't you say that you are not here to find the treasure?"
You even know the secret code to hide the treasure, but you still say you’re not here to hunt for treasure?
These days, even children of this age can lie to others.
"We're just worried that uncle thinks we want to grab the treasure, so he won't take us on an adventure!" Conan pretended to be an innocent child, trying to be cute and change the subject, "But since uncle didn't find the treasure on the first floor, then
What about below the first floor? Aren’t underground secret rooms very common in adventure novels?”
The burly man became more energetic, "Is it underground? There should be some kind of mechanism there..."
Chi Feichi walked towards the innermost part of the room, "Want to go faster or slower?"
"What, why should you go faster or slower?" Yuantai was confused.
"Go to the basement. If you want to go faster, follow me," Chi Feichi said. "If you want to go slower, go to the stair mechanism and go down one level at a time."
Mitsuhiko was stunned, "Qiyue, do you know how to get to the underground level?"
"Then you must have searched it, right?" the lanky woman said warily, "Either you have already obtained the treasure, and you had ulterior motives for taking us down, or you have not found the treasure, but..."
"Okay, okay," the burly man tried to smooth things over with a smile, "until we find the treasure, let's all talk nicely and don't start any internal strife."
Chi Feichi knew that the burly man was also hinting at him to explain. He walked to the wooden ladder and said in a gentle falsetto, "Many elders gathered in a prosperous place. I already know what this sentence means, but after that...
…I am missing some clues. Since everyone is gathered together, why not provide clues together and solve the problem first."
If he came for the treasure, it didn't matter whether he took these two with him or not, but he came to arrest people, so he had to let the tall and thin woman, the 'poisonous rat', follow him.
When he said this sentence, he was also saying - because the second sentence is correct, I can be sure that I am looking for the right place, but there is something important missing, so I have to take you with me to solve it together, so you also
Don't doubt my ulterior motives.
Conan didn't hesitate anymore and led the young detective team towards Chi Feichi.
The three children had a good impression of Qiyue and felt reassured, not to mention Haiyuan Ai, who stood beside a certain man in black robes without hesitation.
The burly man hesitated for a moment and then followed.
The remaining 'Poisonous Rats' were reluctant to give up the clues that Chi Feichi had found, and they were even less willing to leave them behind, so they didn't say anything more.
When Chi Feichi saw that everyone was around him, he stretched out his right hand wearing a black leather glove and pulled the wooden ladder in front of him hard.
"Click."
The floor beneath a group of people opened up, but there were no stairs or other mechanisms. Instead, it was completely suspended in the air.
The group of people who lost their footing fell rapidly. Conan broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that he was about to hit the ground, he quickly used his belt to pop out the football.
The football hit the ground first, and soon inflated and became a cushion, catching Conan and the other four members of the Young Detective Team.
"ah!"
After Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi landed on the football, they let out a long sigh of relief.
Haihara Ai also sat up on the cushion-like football, waiting for the football's energy to disperse, and looked around.
Although the light is very dim, it can be seen that this is a narrow corridor and is indeed not the first floor.
Conan paid attention to the three bounty hunters. These three people actually did not use his football. After falling to a certain distance, they either used their hooks, hidden swords, or daggers to slow down their fall, and then landed steadily.
.
Compared to them who were unprepared, these three people were well prepared, and their average skill and physical fitness were much stronger than them, making them more like treasure hunters.
That was to remind him repeatedly: Never mention the body outside, let alone say that Dr. Ali has gone to the police! Otherwise, they will be in danger!
The burly man retracted the hook and looked around, "This is the underground level, right? It's really fast, but July, you should have warned me before. If the child falls down unprepared, he might be thrown
dead."
"Originally, I planned to use the hidden sword to pull them down." Chi Feichi said in a casual tone.
"It's a pity that you don't need to take action," the tall and thin woman looked at the football that had been completely suppressed and the children who stood up. "These children have a lot of good things with them. I suspect that the current treasure hunters have children joining them.
Woolen cloth!"
Conan: "..."
Don't think so, they are not treasure hunters, they are harmless.
"Are we considered treasure hunters?" Yuantai became excited.
Mitsuhiko smiled and said, "How cool!"
This actually relaxed the nerves of the two treasure hunters a little.
"Ah!" Ayumi, who turned on the watch-shaped flashlight, let out a cry, "There are dead bones here!"
In the area illuminated by the flashlight beam, a thick layer of white human bones was spread out.
Genta, Mitsuhiko, Haibara Ai, and Conan also turned on their watch-shaped flashlights to illuminate the surroundings.
Not only their feet, but also their feet and even a long corridor were full of jagged bones. There were also some shabby clothes remaining, some of which looked very new, and some of which were primitive and weathered to the point where it was hard to tell what style they were from. It was obvious that these people
They didn't die at the same time.
"So that's it," Conan said with some emotion, "This is 'many elders gathering in a fertile land', right? These people gathered here for the treasure, but they could only turn into bones for various reasons and stay here forever..."
"Huh? Is this old man also a treasure hunter?" Yuantai saw a short old man lying next to the wall and ran over, "Could he be already..."
"Wait!" Chi Feichi shouted urgently in falsetto.
Conan's eyelids twitched and he shouted, "Yantai, come back!"
The fact that Qi Qi was so anxious meant that this person was not among his expectations, and Qi Qi had obviously been to the lower level and searched it. In other words, during Qi Qi's search, he did not see this old man!
"ah!"
Yuantai originally thought that the old man was dead, so he ran to the old man and found that the old man looked up at him. He was so frightened that he stepped back and fell to the ground.
"I am not a grandpa, but a grandma." The old man sitting against the wall had silver hair, age spots on his face, and his voice was extremely old. He stretched out his hands, "Ah... I sleep so soundly!"
"Oh?" The tall and thin woman stepped forward, "Now not only children, but also old ladies like this are our opponents?"
Conan: "..."
Can you ignore these harmless children?
"Old lady, are you also a treasure hunter?" the burly man asked warily.
Even Qi Qi was nervous just now. This old man must be extraordinary.
"I'm not here to hunt for treasure, I'm just here to sweep the tomb." The old man stood up, hunched over his back, and looked towards the end, "The tomb of Sansui Kichiemon..."
A group of people decided to take a look at the tombstone, but on the way, the tall and thin woman suddenly tripped over her skull and fell to one side.
Chi Feichi and the burly man stopped almost at the same time, avoiding the woman, and watched helplessly as the woman fell among the bones.
Haibara Ai:"……"
What a tacit understanding!
"Uh, are you okay?" The burly man reached out to the woman.
"It's okay," the woman reached out to hold the burly man, stood up, bent over and rubbed her ankles, and said angrily, "What bad luck!"
"Just be careful when walking." The burly man smiled.
"Conan," Mitsuhiko, who was walking at the front, illuminated the tombstone with a flashlight, "Come and look, there are words on the tombstone!"
On the stone tombstone, there is a line of Chinese characters engraved on it:
[Those who are lost, enshrine the sacred weapon to me - Sansui Kichiemon]
