Chapter 354 Fast forward to the black cat laughing so terribly
It was impossible to see in the dark space, and the surroundings were extremely quiet. Vision and hearing were not needed, and all the extra energy... Conan used it all to open up his imagination.
First, he kept reviewing the related actions of Black Cat and Bourbon in his mind. Sometimes he felt that they were very similar to the same person, and sometimes he felt that they were different.
It was always difficult to come to a conclusion, so Conan had to think about another thing - what is wrong with this castle?
Shiraishi would not let a child... let an innocent detective who looked like a child be beaten with bricks, tied up, and left alone at the bottom of the secret passage with the terrifying skeletons.
In other words, Black Cat must not have discussed it with Shiraishi. This time, he planned the action alone.
In this case, the problem in the castle must be quite big, and it may even be related to that organization...
For many other things, there are not enough clues, and it is useless to try to figure it out.
But the mystery of the castle is just around the corner.
Conan hesitated for a moment and decided to focus his energy here first - since the black cat is also very concerned about the castle, maybe he can get more clues after helping him solve it.
Thinking of this, Conan remembered another thing.
He carefully put his head against the wall and touched it at different angles.
There was no pain anywhere, and it didn't look like there was a hidden injury.
Therefore, the blood on the head should be the blood bag prepared by Black Cat in advance and hidden in the hat.
......... By the way, has this blood pack expired?
It smells so bad.
However, Conan had no complaints in his heart. After all, it was impossible for the black cat to predict what would happen in the castle and prepare armor for himself in advance.
The hat just now must have been used by the black cat for himself, but this time he happened to encounter it, so he lent it to himself first to confuse the enemy.
As for sneak attack on the black cat's head, it is a hellish job no matter how you think about it, so the blood pack filled inside has not been triggered. The black cat probably forgot to change it. There is nothing that can be done about the filling deteriorating...
After making sure that his head was fine, Conan tried to break free from the rope again, but still failed.
In the end, he had no choice but to lie down on the ground and concentrate on thinking about what the chessboard on the lawn represented.
…
Although Hattori Heiji felt there was something wrong with the castle, he didn't tell anyone.
There are only three teammates in total, and now Kudo, who is most compatible with him, has disappeared.
And if he told Mao Lilan about this, Hattori Heiji felt that it would have no other use except making her feel scared and panicked, which would make the situation more troublesome.
As for Shiraishi... Hattori Heiji was already satisfied that he should not be picked up while he was sleeping and used as Hostage No. 2, and he did not dare to ask for more.
——If any other child disappeared at this time, Hattori Heiji might have run to find Mamiya Mitsuru and asked him to send people to search for him with all his strength.
But Conan is not a real child, and there is no problem of him running away or being stuck in a playful place and unable to get out.
Most likely, there was some man-made accident that prevented him from moving freely.
The danger certainly comes from this castle.
Hattori Heiji only dared to ask the helper briefly, "Have you seen Conan?", but did not dare to pursue or even cross-examine them.
——What if Conan discovers some great secret, such as accidentally witnessing a murder scene and being kidnapped by gangsters? The gangsters may not have intended to kill anyone at first, but when Hattori Heiji asked him about it, he was worried that the secret would be exposed, and the more he thought about it after returning.
If you panic, it would not be good to directly vote Conan down.
Therefore, Hattori Heiji secretly used his mobile phone to contact the police officers he knew and asked them to send someone to help.
Before that, he could only hold on to the folding stick Shiraishi gave him and wander around silently looking for it, feeling like a lonely walker carrying the cruel truth alone.
…
As a result, when it got dark, Hattori Heiji couldn't find anyone.
He glanced at his cell phone - maybe bad luck tends to happen. The Otaki Police Department sent him a message saying that the policemen encountered heavy rain on their way here and the road was washed out, so they might not be able to arrive until early in the morning.
At this time, a maid came to him and told him that dinner was ready.
Hattori Heiji was indeed hungry.
He went to the restaurant, where he met Mao Lilan and Shiraishi, who had woken up and was preparing to have dinner.
Mao Lilan looked around Hattori, a little confused: "Isn't Conan with you?"
"...He's still solving puzzles, he's just a kid. He doesn't even count when he's playing." Hattori Heiji looked away with a guilty conscience and looked at the dining table, looking for some portable food. "You guys can eat, don't worry about me, I want to keep looking.
clue."
Mao Lilan still felt uneasy.
She didn't have much contact with Hattori Heiji, but in just a few days, she could see that Hattori Heiji was indeed good at solving crimes, but his ability to take care of children was about 0.
He was with Conan, and nothing happened to Conan. It was all down to Conan himself to be sensible.
So after Hattori Heiji left with the bread, Mao Lilan became more and more uneasy as he thought about it.
She took a few bites, wiped her mouth, and stood up to check on the situation.
Of course, Mamiya Mitsuru didn't show any displeasure. Although this was a waste of the meal he had specially prepared, he would only be happier if the tool man was willing to diligently search for clues.
Mao Lilan said she was looking for someone, but when she reached a fork in the road, she remembered that she had forgotten to ask those two people where they were hiding to solve the mystery.
She took out her mobile phone and wanted to send a message to Hattori Heiji to ask, but before she could open the message interface, her ankle suddenly felt cold and felt a little painful.
Mao Lilan ducked away in confusion, lowering her head to take a look at the situation, but before she could lower her head, she was already dizzy and fell down.
Shiraishi caught her from behind, knocked her into the Poké Ball, and then hid the Poké Ball in the corner, released the mask state, and returned to the original body.
After that, he politely left the dining table and walked into the corridor to pick up the Poké Ball and put it away.
Then he was going to find Hattori Heiji and explore the clues with him. At the same time, he would find an opportunity for Hattori Heiji to tell Nishikawa Susumi the clues "very unwillingly that you were forced to do so".
Hiding Maori Ran in the ball can effectively prevent her from being attacked by the "old lady" when she and Hattori Heiji are in the underground secret tunnel.
Although Mao Lilan has a high level of martial arts, she is particularly afraid of ghosts and very timid.
Nishikawa Suimi didn't know this, but when she attacked Conan in the secret passage just now, Shiraishi observed carefully for a while and felt that Nishikawa Suimi's gloomy expression was scarier than a ghost at first glance. Maybe she could suppress Mao Lilan's force.
If it reaches 1%, then Maorilan will undoubtedly be in danger.
And if Mao Lilan, with the help of the protagonist's halo, rebounds from the bottom and kicks people to death, it will be a bit troublesome... In short, it is safest to put her away first.
Shiraishi quickly followed the locator and found Hattori Heiji.
Hattori Heiji happened to be standing in the room where they used to observe the chessboard, which was where Conan disappeared.
