Chapter 102: Nightmare Repeatedness (8) A new name for the hell
Ayumi subconsciously exclaimed: "How is it possible, we have been moving forward, why did we come back to this place again?"
"Is there a ghost?" Yuan Tai swallowed, "No, I haven't eaten all the eel rice in the world yet!"
Don't think about it for the rest of your life.
Conan glanced at Yuan Tai speechlessly, and turned his head: "Don't worry, it's not haunted, it's just that the design of this corridor itself has no exit." ”
Yuan Tai was still at a loss: "Huh?"
Conan: "Like a ring." ”
"Understood. Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up, "It's like a box, find a point on it and keep moving forward, but can you follow the edge back to the original place?"
"That's the truth. Conan nodded, and at the same time thought that the people behind this scene really had a heart.
They still encounter right-angle corners, so they can figure out that they are going around in circles. If the people behind the curtain design the corridor in the shape of a circle, let them keep going, and the passage is long enough, that feeling is terrifying.
And this design with corners also allows them to use visual blind spots to defeat the man and woman.
The real murderers behind the scenes really just want to play with them.
It's a pity that I can't say that.
"The people in this corridor are really funny. Kurosawa glanced at Conan, clearly aware of what he was thinking, but he coughed and reminded the group, "But for now, let's think about how to get out of this circular corridor." ”
“...... Could it be that we just missed something?" the children were quickly diverted from the subject, and Mitsuhiko couldn't help but mumble as he clasped his chin.
"Quite possibly. Gan Yan nodded sympathetically, "We're all helping him name him." He couldn't help but look at Kurosawa after he finished speaking.
Blame me?
"It's all because you're too enthusiastic, how good it is to have no name and no identity, and the police can't find me if you commit a crime. Kurosawa snorted unhappily.
The juvenile detective group with a sense of justice immediately exploded, teaching Kurosawa a lesson, and even Conan spoke out at this time to let him go the right way.
Kurosawa, who had already walked on the crooked road, pouted and waved his hand in disgust: "I'll just talk about it, don't worry about it...... Also, I'm not like you're just playing, go away. He turned and pushed Conan away from his side, then jumped to his feet, grabbed the torch stuck in the hallway wall with both hands, and slammed it down.
Before they could recover from Kurosawa's strange behavior, they heard the sound of gears running, and then with a bang, the wall behind them suddenly cracked in the middle, and the wall opened to both sides, and the gap widened, and soon there was an exit, the stone-colored staircase leading to an unknown place above.
At this moment, even Conan's pupils were significantly dilated.
"Alright, let's get inside. Kurosawa let go of the torches with both hands, jumped down, clapped his hands, and raised his fingers in high spirits to point forward.
Everyone looked at each other.
Gray Plains: "How do you know there's a secret passage?"
"The shadow of the torch is different. Kurosawa replied, of course, "The shadows of the other torches are only a little like this, but the shadow under the torch is twice as much, so I looked at it a few more times, and then I found that the lower end of the torch had been rubbed many times, and the lower end was still inserted in a groove." ”
The children instinctively looked at the torch that Kurosawa had climbed on.
Sure enough, there was an anomaly at the lower end of the torch, and it was an anomaly that could be spotted at a glance.
But there are countless torches in this long corridor, and it is not ordinarily difficult to pick one of these torches among so many torches.
"Those who mix with us need to have good eyes. Kurosawa lifted his chin smugly.
"Don't you want to hear their discussions, so your eyes wander?"
"......" Kurosawa Silver choked, and he glanced at Gray Yuan helplessly, "yes, they are talking about things I don't want to hear, and I can only look around." ”
"Even so, you're amazing. Hotaru smiled. In the basement, Kurosawa Silver helped her untie the rope and vinyl, and she has always had a certain affection for Kurosawa Silver, so Kurosawa is one of the few people here who can make Hotaru treat her with good words.
"It's not necessarily just that he found out. Ayumi retorted, "Conan must have discovered it if he was so smart!"
Hotaru Mei followed Ayumi's gaze to Conan, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but hook: "It's just him, it's okay to fight, the brain is ......" Hotaru snorted lightly.
Kurosawa clearly saw that Conan's face appeared with a typical half-moon face after this sentence, and the corners of his mouth twitched a very speechless look.
Gray Yuan Ai stretched out his hand to cover his face, turned his head sideways, and shrugged his shoulders.
Heisei Sherlock Holmes, some people say that you can't fight and you don't have enough brains!
This evaluation is really unprecedented.
"Don't bully him. Although he was happy to watch the play, seeing that the children of the Junior Detective Corps had a tendency to get angry, Kurosawa's eyes darkened, and he reached out and pressed his hand on Hotaru's shoulder, "Now is not the time for infighting. What's more, what she said was also true. ”
"Huh?" Guarding the calf, crossed out, and the members of the Young Detective Corps protecting Conan fell silent, and Hotaru looked at him in surprise.
Kurosawa Silver looked at Conan and made a gesture of please as he reached out and pointed upward.
Conan rolled his eyes and took the lead on the stairs of the secret passage, and when Kurosawa followed and the others subconsciously stepped in, he calmly recounted his discovery: "The flames are shaking faster here than elsewhere, which proves that the wind is likely coming from here, and the straw happens to be gone here, which proves that there is a secret door." That's why I'm here to stop you. ”
"Conan is amazing. "Ayumi really made a nymphomaniac again.
Conan, who was praised, received the hostile eyes of the "rivals in love" Mitsuhiko and Motota before he could speak, and the half-moon eyes rolled up, and he probably complained in his heart that the recent elementary school students were too precocious.
The passage is not long.
Because of this, there are no torches in the secret passage, and the environment is slightly dark.
The walkie-talkie flashed green, and probably not after he entered the passage, but earlier. It's just that at that time, because he had been discussing with Gray Yuan in the corridor, he didn't notice that the walkie-talkie received other people's communications, and it wasn't until he changed the environment that he made the discovery.
Conan was forced to stop and pick up the sound.
The other party was asking him what he was doing.
Conan calmly replied in the voice of his accomplices that it was too much trouble to bring the noisy little children here.
The other party believed it, but he was also angry.
"Tachibana-sama is going to be angry! He's so angry that he didn't see his prey being sent! Hurry up!"
Tachibana-sama, this is the second time I've heard this term.
It is a high-ranking person, and the word "orange" is more likely to be the real surname.
He almost forgot to ask Gray Yuan this person just now......
As if sensing what Conan was thinking, Gray Plains, who was standing not far from him, met his gaze and shook his head slightly.
Haven't heard of it?
Reporting the name so easily, it looks like a little steward, is this accident deliberately launched by the real culprit behind the scenes to reduce the difficulty for them?
Suspicious, Conan took his things back and continued to take the lead.
As he walked, Conan was also thinking.
His arrest coincided with a critical moment in the handling of those two cases. He has already figured out the truth about the second murder of Himawari through clues, but after all, he has not deduced it in public, so he has a deep impression of that case - by the way, he also mourned for three seconds for Tachibana Yoshikawa, who was cheated by his friends and beloved women one after another.
That's right, Tachibana Yoshikawa.
Isn't that guy Tachibana Yoshikawa's surname Tachibana? His face is also missing...... Could it be that it is going to be used here?
But, but...... Those people are capable of making masks that resemble human skin masks, right? Otherwise, what are those four masks on his body? They were also peeled off from human faces?...... To hell with it, how could it be!
Conan shuddered, and for the first time wanted to throw out key evidence before solving the case.
It's impossible for Kurosawa Gin, who was following Conan, not to think of Tachibana Yoshikawa, but it is obviously impossible for him and Conan to be on the same line.
He clearly knew that Tachibana Yoshikawa's face was still in the hands of Aoike Kamiji!
So the so-called Tachibana-sama here is probably the one who wears the face of Tachibana Yoshikawa made of other materials. This character plays the madman of the year - the real murderer behind the scenes sixteen years ago.
But why?
If you want to "repeat" the murder of the year, Tachibana-sama should not be called Tachibana-sama, but should be named that madman and then added an adult.
Don't......
A possibility came to mind, and Kurosawa remembered the picture of Asti falling in a pool of blood sixteen years ago desperately trying to climb up to the side of that madman, and his eyes hurt deeply.
Don't be what he thinks!
At a time when people in this group had different thoughts, time passed quickly.
An iron door appeared on the top stone steps, and as they walked, the children began to hear footsteps, discussions, and other sounds, and the vigilance made everyone's hearts lift, but Conan suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone.
"What for?"
"Natori, do me a favor. Conan turned to Kurosawa and called out his new nickname in a serious manner.
Kurosawa Gin: "......, why are you also coaxing?"
Natori Fukashio, the first generation actor of Kamen Superman. Sunsuke, Superman's teammate. It's nice that they can give him a name called "Natori Sunsuke"!
Isn't he thankful that he wasn't directly named Superman?
