Chapter 351 Today is the Neutral Evil faction laughing
Hattori Heiji silently looked at Shiraishi, then looked at Maori Ran who was admiring the ornaments next to him, and finally looked at the weak Tokyo Detective who was turned into a child by the window...
Among these four people, no matter how you look at it, you are the strongest.
Why did you deliberately stuff a weapon into him so that he could defend himself?
… Could it be that “holding it for self-defense” means that you can hold it for yourself to help them defend themselves?
Hattori Heiji couldn't figure out Shiraishi's brain circuit for a while.
However, this foldable stick is not bulky and is easy to carry, and Hattori Heiji didn't think it was anything at first, but when Shiraishi said it in that tone, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, feeling that nothing was right about this villa.
In the end, he reluctantly thanked him, put away the folding stick, and then continued to move to the window to observe the situation.
After looking twice, he was startled and remembered something.
Conan seemed to be lying here just now, looking out. Why did he suddenly disappear when he was hesitating whether to take the folding stick?
Could it be that he found some clue and rushed to verify it?
…
Conan did find something unusual, but it was not about the "chess game" outside the window, but about this castle.
Before entering the room, in order to find a suitable observation location, he also observed other rooms along the way, especially the positions of the windows in these rooms.
Therefore, Conan lay by the window and observed for a while. He accidentally glanced to the side and suddenly felt something was not right.
——The window in the next room is two or three meters away from here, but the window in this room is right against the wall, and the window in the next room is almost against the wall.
Where does the extra distance come from?
Combined with the background of the castle, Conan immediately came to the conclusion that there was a secret passage in the middle.
Thinking this, he instantly became excited. Conan secretly glanced at Hattori Heiji and Shiraishi, who were still talking in a low voice, and felt that he was one step ahead.
This time, although they were helping the castle owner solve a puzzle together, with Hattori Heiji beside him, there was no need to rush, and Conan's determination to win quietly emerged.
Of course, he still had something in mind - judging from the size of the castle, the secret passage must be quite large, and if the entire castle was moved from the outside and re-examined, there might be some dangers in the secret passage.
organ.
So Conan planned to find the mechanism at the entrance to the secret passage first, and then tell others about the entrance and go in with them to check it out.
Conan first looked around the wall and found no suspicious mechanism.
So he pushed the door open and left, running to the next door to investigate.
This time, Conan's eyes quickly stopped at a clock on the wall.
The clock looked broken. It was clearly past six o'clock, but the time it displayed was three o'clock.
Conan then dragged over a small stool for his feet, stood on it, opened the cover of the clock, and moved the hands in circles.
This kind of mechanism is relatively easy to try out. After all, it only has two hands in total, not even a second hand.
Push the minute hand a few times, and as long as you are lucky enough, you can always catch it.
Conan began to move the minute hand.
When it turned to 12 o'clock, he heard a clicking sound.
Before he could express the joy of success, the wall in front of him suddenly flipped over, turning him and the footstool in, and then clicked the button tightly.
…
"What's the sound?" In the next room, Mao Lilan and Hattori Heiji were startled at the same time.
Shiraishi moved away from the door he was leaning on and apologized: "I wanted to lean against the door just now, but I didn't notice that it wasn't touching the wall."
"!" Mao Lilan saw that he didn't seem to be very energetic, so she immediately became alert, secretly rolled up her sleeves, and walked over, ready to pick someone up at any time, "Are you sleepy?"
It seems like I'm really getting sleepy.
She counted on her fingers - throughout the whole day today, Shiraishi was awake all the time except for sleeping at Nagato's house. Such a long waking time made Mao Lilan, who had gone out with him several times,
Not quite used to it.
Now that she felt sleepy again after seeing Shiraishi, Mao Lilan felt that everything was back on track, and she felt the value of keeping up. She also helped others today, and her mood was +1.
…
There was darkness in the secret passage, but Conan did not feel panic. Instead, he entered the crime-solving mode, and his excitement and suicidal level skyrocketed.
Although knocking on the wall at this time can attract the attention of the three people next door.
But after Conan turned on the flashlight on his watch, a beam of light illuminated the stairs going down.
He was immediately attracted by the unilluminable darkness at the bottom of the stairs. He planned to take two steps along and come back for help after seeing the situation clearly. Then, like some people who say they will sleep after reading the next page, he followed the stairs.
We went down several floors until we reached the end.
Some people end up bald.
But at the end of Conan, there is a horrifying pile of hair.
After taking a closer look, Conan was surprised to find that it was not just hair, but a complete skeleton.
His expression suddenly became serious and he wanted to take a closer look.
But just as he squatted down, his scalp suddenly felt heavy - someone put something on his head.
In this dark secret passage with corpses, he was suddenly approached silently and touched a fatal place like his head... In an instant, the hair on Conan's back exploded.
He stretched out his hand suddenly, trying to take down the unknown object. At the same time, he turned around suddenly and saw an unexpected person.
"Black..." Before he could finish speaking, Conan saw the other party making a silent gesture towards him.
Then Shiraishi pulled his wrist and let the flashlight on the watch shine on the body again, while at the same time slapping Conan's hand that was stretched above his head away.
Conan only had time to pull down half of the thing on his head.
He could see clearly with the light just now - it was a woolen hat with black and green stripes.
Today, on their way here, the season did change from autumn to early winter, and the weather was a bit cold.
But Conan always felt that Black Cat was not the kind of person who would give him a hat just because it was cold. Even if he gave it to him, he wouldn't be able to give it to himself - the weird boss would have been very angry if he didn't throw him into the snow.
Give me face.
"You are not allowed to pick it off. If you continue to check, just pretend that I have never been here." After hearing this sentence, Conan felt the black cat let go of his hand.
Although he was told to "pretend I haven't been here", Conan still looked back subconsciously.
However, it was pitch black behind, and no humanoid outline could be seen at all.
Conan didn't dare to turn the flashlight back to take a look. He was confused for a moment, then raised his hand to touch the hat on his head. In the end, he obeyed and didn't take it off. He lowered his head and continued to examine the corpse.
Conan was still a little nervous at first, but now that he knew the black cat was nearby, he felt much more confident and bold, and began to concentrate on collecting information from the corpses.
Shiraishi had already switched to the form of a cat at this time and continued to observe nearby.
What I put on Conan just now was one of the armors he had picked up before, the Porcelain Melon Skin Hat.
It can greatly reduce impact damage to the head, but it also has disadvantages.
——After being attacked, a lot of sticky and dirty blood will flow out of the hat.
Shiraishi tried it once and was so smoked that he almost went bald. After that, he secretly made up his mind - as long as he didn't go into a hail of bullets in the future, he would definitely put this hat at the bottom of his backpack.
But if you use it for others, you don’t have to worry so much.
Conan is so good at seeking death, so the smell of blood is the price for saving his life, so he doesn't mind. Of course, it's useless to mind.
While Conan was concentrating on removing the loose coat of the skeleton and examining the bones, Shiraishi saw Nishikawa Suimi walking into the secret passage.
She picked up a brick and approached the ignorant Conan from behind with a sullen face.
Shiraishi mentally gave Nishikawa Suimi's camp a √.
——Giving her a head first should give her a certain sense of accomplishment.
Shiraishi is like a novice planner of 18th-rate mobile games, carefully striking a balance.
Generally speaking, because the people who came to the castle were no longer the young detective team in the original plot line, but two high-powered rivals, Nishikawa Suimi was at an absolute disadvantage in this contest.
In order to achieve the conditions of the ghosts and monsters "let her have a sufficient sense of accomplishment and then let her hit the bottom", it is necessary to try to balance the power of both sides, and even let Nishikawa Suimi have an advantage.
When Shiraishi was thinking, the ghost next to him was also discussing with restraint but could not hide his excitement.
It can be seen that they have been floating in the secret passage for too long and are almost sick.
