Conan gritted his teeth and quickly got out of bed.
But after sitting cross-legged for a long time, he got out of bed immediately. His legs were still a little numb, but time was pressing, and Conan couldn't care less and limped toward the door.
"Genta!"
"..."
No one responded on the second floor, so Conan could only think that Genta and Mitsuhiko went to the toilet on the first floor.
Holding on to the railing and reaching the first floor, Conan called out again.
"Genta!"
"Conan! I'm here..."
Following the direction of the sound, Conan used the light of a watch-shaped flashlight to walk through the long corridor, passing by the restaurant where he had just had dinner, and arrived at the door of the kitchen.
I saw Yuantai sitting at the door of the kitchen, his fat body like a little meat mountain, and the expression on his face was in shock.
"Genta, why are you here? Didn't you go to the toilet with Mitsuhiko?"
"I……"
Faced with Conan's questions, Yuantai hesitated and then revealed his true purpose of coming out.
"Actually, I came out to find something to eat...but I just met someone here!"
Genta pointed to the kitchen counter tremblingly, but it was illuminated by the cold moonlight outside the window and was now empty.
Conan frowned and checked inside the kitchen. There was indeed no one there, and then went back to ask Yuanta.
"What are the characteristics of that person?"
Yuantai shook his head in confusion, "It was too dark, I couldn't see clearly... but he is very tall, so he must be an adult."
"I saw him when I came over, and he saw me, and then he ran past me."
Adult?
Conan had some doubts in his eyes. All the servants and staff in the museum must have been evacuated in advance for the fairness of the puzzle challenge.
Logically speaking, apart from Mr. Clock, there should be no other adults in the Angel House now.
But who is this person?
And why in the kitchen?
Conan walked into the kitchen, stepped on the stool and looked at the cooking table.
On the cooking table were the leftover dinners of the Boy Detective Team, steak and buns, fruit salad, etc.
However, there was still a lot of food left, but it was basically all eaten up. Not a single piece of steak was left, there were two buns left, and only the salad dressing on the fruit salad was left on the plate.
Conan wondered, is this person here to eat?
At this time, Yuantai also jumped on the stool. Seeing that there was not much food left on the table, he screamed in disappointment.
"Ah! My delicious food!"
Ignoring Yuantai's disappointment, Conan jumped off the stool and said, "Forget it, let's leave quickly."
"If Mr. Clock discovers that the food is missing, he will definitely think that we stole it..."
As soon as Mr. Clock was mentioned, Yuantai quickly jumped off the stool, not even daring to reach out for the two remaining loaves of bread.
The two walked out of the kitchen, and Conan asked again: "By the way, where did Mitsuhiko go?"
Genta thought for a moment, "He seemed to have said that he was going to the East Hall to have a look..."
"Eastern Pavilion?"
Conan was just confused for a moment, then remembered that the East Hall was the only place in the hall that lacked maintenance. With Mitsuhiko's elementary school student's thinking, it was normal to suspect that there was treasure hidden there.
It's just that in Conan's judgment, everything must be based on puzzles, so such an obvious hint is impossible.
But after learning that Mitsuhiko went to the East Hall alone, he had to look for it. If there were any dangers such as traps inside, it would be troublesome.
But when he thought that Yuriko Matsunaka was still alone in the servant's room on the second floor, Conan felt uneasy.
Matsunaka Yuriko is the direct heir in the will. According to the speculation just now, if Mr. Zhong is also one of the heirs in the will, it may be detrimental to Matsunaka Yuriko.
Both sides were worried, and Conan could only think of the "mother" of the Young Detective Team, Haibara Ai.
"Let's go and find Huiyuan first."
…
Conan and Genta went to the toilet on the other side of the first floor. Since it was a public toilet for servants and staff, the toilet was divided into men and women.
"Haiyuan, are you in there?" Conan stood at the door of the women's toilet and shouted into the room.
However, there was silence inside and no one answered.
"Haiyuan!"
Still no one answered in the toilet.
With a bad feeling in his heart, Conan lost his patience and walked directly into the women's restroom.
This bold move shocked Yuanta, who blushed and tried to dissuade him, "Conan, that's the women's room over there..."
But Conan ignored these taboos, and there was nothing to see about a child's body, so he directly opened the door of the first toilet cubicle.
There's no one inside.
The second door was still empty.
The third door...
I pushed until the last door, but no one was found.
Obviously, Haibara Ai and Ayumi also took action without permission.
Realizing this, Conan stamped his feet in anger.
“There is really no one to worry about!”
…
Outside the North Pavilion, a figure squatted behind the grass, calming down a little.
This person is Qin Zhibo.
Ten minutes ago, Qin Zhibo sneaked into the North Hall to look for food, and happened to find the leftover food from the Young Detective Team's dinner in the kitchen.
But just when he was about to finish eating, Yuantai suddenly appeared at the door of the kitchen, forcing Qin Zhibo to leave there quickly.
Although he is acquainted with the Young Detective Team, Qin Zhibo cannot reveal his identity now.
Because once Mr. Clock discovers that he is also in this place, the next plan may be discovered.
And Qin Zhibo's plan is to use Belmod's fake fragments to exchange the real fragments of Yin Seikawa Gozo.
Although I don’t know the specific method of using the Panest fragment, since Mr. Clock asked him to get the fake fragment, he must have set a trap for himself in this way.
In this case, all I have to do is to cheat, give it the fake fragments, and take the real fragments, and in turn set a trap for it.
Mr. Clock would never have imagined that he would have information on both the real and fake fragments through his transactions with Belmod and the boss.
This uncertainty in human beings is the unique charm of human beings, which an alien creature can never guess.
As for the way to exchange the fragments, you only need to place the fake fragments of Belmod in the base of the Angel of the South, and wait until Conan successfully solves the puzzle on his own, and Mr. Clock will naturally get what he thinks he got.
Therefore, before Mr. Clock gets the fragment and leaves, he cannot be allowed to discover his existence, otherwise he will definitely be more vigilant.
For this reason, Qin Zhibo has sent Minase Yomengpiao to keep an eye on Mr. Clock.
Mr. Clock is currently on the fourth floor of the North Building and seems to be in a dormant state. It is a good time to take action.
If you want to enter the Southern Angel Base like during the day, you will not have enough time.
Because judging from the puzzle, only at 12 noon will the high-voltage electricity there disappear and the mechanism be opened.
But if you do the opposite and enter from the underground maze exit of the East Hall, you should be able to return to the platform in the base and put the fake fragments into the glass bottle.
Qin Zhibo planned what he was going to do next and started moving towards the East Pavilion.
But as soon as he stood up and moved, he realized that there was something in his hand.
When he looked down, he realized that when he ran away from the kitchen just now, he was so anxious that he forgot to put the knife back.
Then just keep it in your pocket first.
Table Knife +1
…
Among the bushes in the courtyard, Qin Zhibo walked cautiously.
Although he knew that no one was standing guard at the lighthouse, he still subconsciously avoided the light of the searchlight.
It's purely psychological.
While passing by the Angel Base of the Angel of the North, I unexpectedly saw two female members of the Young Detective Corps.
I saw Haibara Ai and Ayumi surrounding the wall of the huge pedestal under the Angel of the North, groping forward with their hands.
The two girls didn't notice Qin Zhibo hiding in the grass not far away, still groping and talking.
"Xiao Ai, let me ask you, how do angels fall from the sky?"
"I'm just looking for a way now..."
Hui Yuan Ai responded softly and continued to touch the wall.
But in the eyes of Qin Zhibo who was behind, the base on the wall where the two women were groping, like the base of the Southern Angel, both had investigation points.
High-voltage electricity is also passed through it.
If two children touch it, they will be electrocuted and crippled even if they don't die.
Seeing that the two women were about to touch the switch, in desperation, Qin Zhibo did not have time to use the flash gun to remind him, he directly pulled out the knife from his arms and threw it at the wall next to the two women.
Table knife-1
On the side of the base, Huiyuan's Ai Tong Kong shrunk when his sixth sense was triggered. When he turned around, a silver sharp weapon had already flown towards him.
"careful!"
Haiyuan Ai reacted quickly and threw down Ayumi behind him.
But the sharp weapon was not thrown at them at all. The sharp weapon collided with the wall, instantly arousing a blue current.
Zhi——
The high-voltage power grid appeared in front of Haiyuan Ai, which also made her understand that the wall further ahead was electrified.
Seeing that Hui Yuan Ai understood the trap here, Qin Zhibo quickly turned around and ran away without stopping.
Hui Yuan Ai's ears trembled when he heard the movement, and he quickly stood up to chase after him, but the man had already disappeared in the bright lights.
Haiyuan Ai looked around, with cold sweat on his temples, realizing that this place was not as safe as it seemed.
It seems that it is better to go back first...
…
After rescuing Haihara Ai and Ayumi, Qin Zhibo continued to move towards the East Pavilion.
Soon, he came to the window that had been opened a crack in the afternoon.
Just as he was about to open the window and sneak in, a small body accidentally came in from the other side of the magic flip wall.
Qin Zhibo stopped his movements and took a closer look. It turned out to be Guangyan.
This gave Qin Zhibo a headache. Why did he always run into members of the Young Detective Team wherever he went?
It's as if God is saying, "Stop it, Ah Qin, there's a group of young detectives out there!"
There was no other way, Qin Zhibo could only quietly watch what kind of plane Guangyan was going to make.
Fortunately, Mr. Clock packed away the brain storage device at noon, otherwise if Mitsuhiko saw it, he would definitely be frightened and have a childhood shadow that will never be erased.
In the room, Mitsuhiko didn't notice a figure standing outside the window behind him, watching him closely through the window.
He touched around the room and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the golden bull ornament above the fireplace.
He took the note recording the puzzle and compared it carefully, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
This cow has no horns on its head!
What a coincidence, the golden bull on the fireplace does not have horns, or rather it has broken horns.
"When the horns on the cow's head disappear, the tail becomes the head..."
"head……"
Mitsuhiko muttered the riddle to himself while switching the head and tail of the golden bull ornament.
After several consecutive friction sounds, the Taurus was turned around, but nothing happened.
But Mitsuhiko firmly believed that this was the mechanism described in the puzzle, and he bent down to search in the fireplace, and he found a passage leading to the depths.
"great!"
"I knew it!"
Mitsuhiko was overjoyed and immediately ducked inside.
And all of this was seen by Qin Zhibo standing outside the window.
You know shit...
In Qin Zhibo's opinion, the golden bull ornament above the fireplace is not a mechanism at all, but a pure gold ornament that happens to have no horns.
Mitsuhiko rotated the gold bull ornament and felt that a mechanism was triggered. This was entirely because the weight of the pure gold ornament was too solid, as if he was turning a mechanism.
In fact, there is no mechanical device connected to the bottom of the Taurus at all, and it can be lifted up as a whole.
The passage in the fireplace has always been open. The fireplace is simply a fake fireplace without any mechanism.
Below the fireplace is connected to the underground labyrinth of the Angel Mansion, and Mitsuhiko must have entered it.
Although there seemed to be no traps installed in the maze, Qin Zhibo was worried that Mitsuhiko would get lost inside, so he could only push open the window and follow him into the passage of the fireplace.
…
At the end of the passage under the fireplace, Mitsuhiko entered the maze naturally.
He turned on the watch-shaped flashlight that comes standard with the Young Detective Corps and continued exploring with the light.
"anyone there?"
"Is there anyone here?"
As Mitsuhiko walked, he asked politely if there was anyone inside.
At this time, Qin Zhibo, who was following behind, wanted to answer.
have……
For Guangyan's safety, Qin Zhibo is always ready to put on the [Lord of the Rings] to protect him.
If Conan is the father of these children, then he himself is at least a grandfather.
After following Mitsuhiko for a while, passing through trapezoidal passages, the light of Mitsuhiko's watch finally touched the body on the ground.
This is a body that was randomly thrown here after its brain was cut open by Mr. Clock, and Mitsuhiko bumped into it.
"ah!"
Mitsuhiko saw the white bones on the ground covered with gray suits, fell to the ground, and screamed in fright.
His body trembled on the spot for a few seconds before he realized what he was doing and rolled and crawled back the way he came.
Bye, bye~
Looking at Guangyan's back as he escaped, Qin Zhibo said goodbye in his heart.
Without any obstacles, Qin Zhibo can start his own plan.
Although this place is called a maze, Qin Zhibo's navigator is specially designed to control mazes. As long as you are in the maze, the map of the maze will automatically appear in your head.
Ten minutes later, Qin Zhibo came to the base of the Southern Angel.
Find the mechanical control lever in a hidden place and pull it, and the upper floor cover will open to both sides.
Qin Zhibo used [Flying Claw] to climb to the top of the slope of the slide and took out a Panest fragment from his pocket.
After double-checking that it was the fragment given by Belmod, he put the fragment into the glass bottle stuck to the ground cover.
There was a clang and the fragments entered the glass bottle.
Qin Zhibo put the plug on it, then slid it underneath, pushed the control lever back, closed the floor cover again, and everything returned to the way it was before noon.
Except for the fragments in the bottle, everything has been stolen and replaced.
