In the room, three children were sitting on the floor waiting for Mitsuhiko to come back, who said he wanted to go to the toilet. However, it had been 20 minutes since Mitsuhiko left and he had not come back yet. Ayumi and Genta both gradually lost their patience.
"..." Conan was silent for a while, a little worried. His transmitter happened to be placed on the bracelet that Shiraijiu had given the four of them before, so he turned on the tracking glasses.
On the glasses, the light spots representing Gentai Ayumi and himself overlapped and did not move. Only the light spot representing Mitsuhiko was moving slowly. The distance was very close, right in this house.
But Mitsuhiko's movement didn't seem to be moving towards them, but rather moving in a square shape slightly further away.
This movement trajectory is very strange, just like walking up a spiral staircase. But is there such a staircase in this bungalow?
Conan felt it was strange, so he decided to go out and have a look.
There is a secret entrance in and out of this house, and there is running water. There are no traces of rain on the edges of the windows that were opened before. It was obvious that they were opened not long ago.
Just as Shirai said, this seemingly abandoned ancient bungalow is actually still inhabited by people, and this person is still active inside. This person may be the murderer who killed the owner of this bungalow five years ago!
"You hide here and don't make any noise. I'll go find Mitsuhiko." Conan turned around and warned the two children with a serious expression, then closed the door and ran away.
Mitsuhiko must have found some secret staircase. This place is most likely where the people hiding in the ancient bungalow live. Judging from this, Mitsuhiko may be in danger, and he must be found quickly!
Damn it, if Shirai hadn't wandered around, she would have been able to help keep an eye on Genta and Ayumi at this time, and he wouldn't have been distracted from both sides.
Holding a flashlight to illuminate the way forward, Conan followed the corridor and ran along the corridor according to the radar on his glasses. Soon, he also knew the open basement door.
This place actually has a door leading to the underground?!
Conan slowly approached with a flashlight and looked down. Sure enough, it was a square spiral staircase.
At this time, Mitsuhiko's cursor stopped not far away from him. It was obviously down there, but he didn't know whether he was caught or stopped on his own.
Conan took a deep breath, checked his equipment, and then walked down carefully step by step.
Ta,ta,ta,ta...
As he advanced, the stairs became smaller one by one. Soon, the flashlight was able to shine down to the bottom floor and he could see a closed door there.
A secret room...?
Conan watched as the icon on his glasses got closer and closer to Mitsuhiko's...
But suddenly, he stopped - on his glasses, Genta and Ayumi started to move!
Damn it! Didn’t you tell them to hide and not move?
What to do... On one side is Mitsuhiko who is close at hand, and on the other side are Genta and Ayumi who are acting rashly.
Conan's choice is to find Mitsuhiko first, and then go together to find Genta and Ayumi!
Without too much hesitation and caution, Conan quickly ran down the stairs and opened the door!
The situation inside made him widen his eyes.
Inside the room is a huge iron cage!
Mitsuhiko!
Conan's first reaction was that Mitsuhiko was locked up. He immediately took a flashlight and shined it into the cage. As a result, it suddenly illuminated a bed in the cage. There was a person sitting on the bed, huddled together, covering his face, and making a sound like an animal.
A whimpering sound like someone was hurt.
Otherwise, the cage was empty.
No one? What about Mitsuhiko?
Conan carefully looked at the radar on his glasses and found that Mitsuhiko's position was subtly different from his own, and was displayed behind him.
???
What about him?
Conan turned around immediately.
Either inside the room or outside the room.
He turned around and walked out the door, but the moment he walked out, his head was caught in a sack.
"I caught you," a cold female voice sounded in front of Conan in the darkness, making his heart feel cold.
Ruined……
"Big detective."
Huh?
Conan was stunned and hurriedly pulled the sack off his head. The other party showed no intention of stopping him in the process.
When the light of the flashlight appeared in his sight again, and he saw those two familiar faces in the light, he relaxed and sat on the ground.
"What, it turns out it's you..."
"Ah haha..." Mitsuhiko scratched his head and laughed in embarrassment, "Well... Shirai... we just wanted to make a joke... I'm sorry, Conan..."
Bai Jingjiu didn't apologize at all. He turned back to the darkness and said, "You are still too lax, Detective. Do you still want to escape the organization like this?"
"Ah! You! Wait!" As soon as the organization was mentioned, Conan exploded. He was dancing and looking at Shirai's gesture of booing, and at another time he looked at Mitsuhiko with a silly smile on his face. He was very busy.
Mitsuhiko looked confused, "Eh? What organization? Are you playing something?"
"Ahaha, there's nothing~"
Conan was still scratching his head, laughing, and explaining, when Shirai's cold voice came from over there, "Secret."
Conan choked.
This guy is too direct! It makes him even more suspicious. Can he really get past Mitsuhiko?
Mitsuhiko was embarrassed for a moment, then showed an understanding smile, "Ah, in that case, I won't ask."
Eh? Is it that simple?
Conan was ashamed.
Of course it's simple. Conan's covert explanation is better than just saying it's a secret and don't ask. With the character Mitsuhiko is showing now, he will definitely show understanding and respect.
Therefore, Kudo Shinichi is still a child. When he has something on his mind that he wants to hide, he should not act too guilty, otherwise it will be very suspicious.
"Yes." Bai Jingjiu looked at Mitsuhiko and nodded to express his gratitude. The child lowered his head slightly in embarrassment.
"Then, Mr. Detective, how long are you going to maintain such an exposed posture?"
Shiraijiu had no intention of asking why Conan came here - after all, it was obvious, Mitsuhiko was right next to him.
After Shiro Jingjiu's reminder, Conan reacted, quickly left the door of the room, came to Shiro Jingjiu's side, and turned off the flashlight.
"Hey Shirai, what's going on?"
Shiraijiu replied: "As you can see, someone is locked inside."
"..." Who wants to ask you such an obvious thing! "So, do you know who imprisoned him?"
"A woman." Baijiu said concisely.
"woman?"
Conan's flexible mind became active again.
A man and a woman, an ancient bungalow, clean running water, a hidden exit, a murder five years ago...
