On the monitor screen, people in the annex were divided into two groups, looking for the murderer from room to room.
Mrs. Qianjian is very satisfied with this and everything is going according to her plan.
As soon as these detectives find that there is no one else in the annex, they will realize that the murderer is among them.
And they will not doubt themselves, a dead person.
Gradually, the detectives will become suspicious of each other and embark on the road of killing each other.
But it is a pity that if this is the case, none of these detectives will be able to solve the mystery left by their father.
The old lady Qianjian felt somewhat conflicted in her heart. She held this banquet in order to solve her father's mystery. If in the end it was just pure killing, then the banquet itself would be meaningless.
"Eh--"
Old lady Qianjian sighed and pulled her chair closer to the monitor so as not to miss any detail of these detectives.
After all, the people he invited were all famous detectives. Even if he was the mastermind behind the scenes now, he still had to be 120% cautious.
While the old lady Qianjian was staring at the screen, several figures quietly stood up from the corner behind the secret monitoring room.
Several figures quietly approached from behind and extended their clutches to this sixty-year-old woman.
Suddenly, the old lady Qianjian felt the force of a pair of palms pressing hard on her shoulders, which frightened the old lady's body and made her heart almost jump out.
"ah!"
The old lady was so frightened that she screamed. When she turned around, she saw Motegi Haruji standing behind her.
Not only that, but Qin Zhibo and White Horse Detective were also standing behind.
At this time, the door of the machine on the ground opened, and Gunda Ikumi, "Moori Kogoro", and Conan also walked up.
"This this"
"You are!"
The old lady Qianjian widened her eyes and looked at the people behind her in disbelief. They all arrived in an instant.
But he turned to look at the surveillance screen. The famous detectives on it were still looking for traces of the murderer in the room.
Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and explained: "Actually, I discovered this secret monitoring room when I came to this annex."
"The picture on the monitoring screen is actually adjusted by us. What you see is what happened 10 minutes ago."
The old lady Qianjian had a look of disbelief on her face. The secret monitoring room that she had carefully decorated by craftsmen was discovered by a newcomer?
This is different from what was promised!
This unscientific!
In desperation, the old lady Qianjian thought about it and thought of another excuse.
"Actually, I'm just like you. I've discovered this place a long time ago."
"I escaped from the explosion in the car just to see who would come back here."
The old lady Qianjian's words became weaker and weaker as she spoke, and she seemed to be aware of the logical inconsistency in her rhetoric.
The white horse detective stepped forward and reasoned: "Actually, your biggest flaw is that when everyone was discussing tossing coins, you deliberately took the farthest ten-yuan copper plate, right?"
"Because everyone's fingers are stained with potassium cyanate. If they touch a ten-yuan copper plate, an oxidation-reduction reaction will occur. Your method of killing Detective Ogami will also be affected by this."
"Actually, you painted potassium cyanate on all the teacups. Anyone who has the habit of biting his fingers will die. Detective Ogami just happened to be tricked"...
Conan stood aside and stretched out his head, adding in a childlike tone: "Old lady, can you give me back that ten-yuan copper plate?"
As Conan spoke, he glanced at Qin Zhibo next to him. This gesture was very obvious.
However, Qin Zhibo didn't respond at all and turned his attention to the ventilation duct behind him in an extremely unnatural way.
Conan: "..."
Why are you looking elsewhere?
It’s you I’m talking about!
There are many famous detectives at the scene, so you don’t have to do the reasoning yourself. The method this time is not difficult and everyone knows it.
In addition, the side tasks of the system have been completed, so there is no need for Qin Zhibo to ask old lady Qianjian to confess to the matter.
Now, he is more concerned about the "weirdness" in this villa.
What exactly are the "Kazilan big eyes" in the ventilation ducts?
At this time, Qin Zhibo saw an architectural blueprint placed on the table of the secret control room. This was the blueprint of the Dusk Villa.
While the detectives were in full swing of reasoning, Qin Zhibo took the blueprint and returned to the corridor on the fourth floor to check it with the help of light.
"Kazilan Big Eyes" mainly appears in places with ventilation ducts, whether it is a piano room or a secret monitoring room, they are all places with ventilation ducts.
So, just find the source of the pipe.
Qin Zhibo searched carefully on the unfolded blueprint and finally found some clues.
The ventilation duct of the Dusk Annex is actually built underground. It is as well developed as a spider web, and its core is the very center of the Dusk Annex.
Qin Zhibo ran to the first floor with the architectural blueprint and came to the courtyard in the center of the annex.
The place is surrounded by annexes on all sides, with only a square night sky exposed above, making the atmosphere somewhat depressing.
In the center of the courtyard is a fountain pool, but it has dried up long ago.
At the base of the low wall that formed the pond, Qin Zhibo saw an investigation point.
【Topographic Survey√】
[Mechanism, there is a surprise inside]
It was a slightly raised stone brick. Qin Zhibo kicked it, and a rumbling mechanical sound came from inside.
The ground trembled slightly, and the bottom of the circular pool was divided into three, making way for the steps below.
The deep stone steps lead to the dark underground world. The sinister and hateful atmosphere is accompanied by a sinister wind, which makes Qin Zhibo hesitate to continue exploring.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Zhibo, who was far more courageous than ordinary people, decided to continue going deeper.
When he stepped on the stone steps and his body was in the darkness, Qin Zhibo could feel the gloom and humidity here, with gray walls surrounded by pits on both sides.
When you turn on the nuclear lighter, there will be some more light around you, but the range it can illuminate is also very limited. It is basically completely invisible beyond five meters.
Helpless, Qin Zhibo turned on the night vision device again and was finally able to see a little farther.
After walking down about 50 steps, we came to a solid platform.
On this platform, almost a hundred dead bones were withering here, some of them were animals, but most of them were human.
There are honeycomb-shaped holes in the surrounding walls, which seem to be connected to the well-developed ventilation ducts upstairs.
In the center of this square, filled with darkness and killing, is a huge statue about 6 meters high.
It is basically composed of a double-valved shell, like a giant clam, supported by many pairs of thin legs underneath the body.
Several multi-section cylindrical pseudopods protrude from the half-open shell, and a mouthless face with sunken eye sockets peeks out from the body.
Looking at this statue, Qin Zhibo felt for a moment that he was staring into an endless abyss.
