Saturday, July 22, before noon, Tama Mountains, problem villa.

After Sonoko and Ran make a phone call, they meet up with Yamazaki, Midaiko, Eiyu Hondo, and Conan.

"Well, they said it would take about an hour to come over. ”

Mei Daiko said, "I hope it's still time for lunch." ”

Yamazaki said, "Okay, let's go out and hang out, don't bother them here to write rehearsal songs." ”……

Outside the villa.

They walked around and went to the back of the villa, where they found a ladder leading to a nest box, but there were no birds living in it.

"Be careful, Conan. ”

Amid Lan's worries, Conan curiously climbed up the ladder.

Conan opened the box, "There's nothing in it, and there's no sign of a bird ever inhabiting it, but there's a little white plate, isn't it strange to put a plate in the bird's nest?"

"Let me take a look at it too. Curious, Eiyu hondo climbed the ladder.

"Ah," Lan said worriedly, "you better not go up." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Hondo Eiyu stumbled and fell off the ladder.

Yamazaki next to him reached out and hugged him, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you. Hondo Yingyou said embarrassedly.

Yamazaki let go, but Eiyu Hondo didn't stand firm and fell to the ground, leaving Yamazaki speechless.

Yuan Zi smiled: "It's really clumsy." ”

Mei Daizi smiled: "Actually, it's not bad, you can justifiably not work." ”

Lan said, "Don't make fun of people. ”

Mei Daizi smiled: "What a joke, I envy this ability to get into trouble." ”

Yamazaki laughed, "You're good enough to get into trouble." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Eiyu Hondo on the ground.

"Thank you, ah!" Hondo Eiyu suddenly shouted as his hand reached out into the air.

Yamazaki hurriedly pulled him up so that he wouldn't be bitten by something on the grass, which would be troublesome.

"What's wrong with this time?" said with a laugh, "Did you get bitten by some snake?"

Hondo Eiyu was so shocked that he exclaimed, "That, there's something there, secretly watching us, behind that window that shouldn't be opened. ”

Yuan Zi said angrily: "Stupid, it can't be that I just fell down and broke my head!"

Mei Daizi asked with interest, "Which one, which one?"

"It's the one. Eiyu Hondo pointed to a closed window on the second floor, which was made of wood, but not a single plank, but a dense strip of wood.

Conan slid down the ladder and immediately rushed to the villa gate.

However, Mei Daiko was faster, and rushed directly to the wall, and after taking two steps against the wall, she jumped up and grabbed the window sill, which was about 450 centimeters high.

Mei Daizi pulls up, stands upright, and then leans up to watch, but finds that she can't see clearly, because of the light, so she supports it with one hand and builds a pergola with the other hand to block the light.

"Good, good. Eiyu Hondo was taken aback, surprised by the power of Midaiko.

"Hey, do you see anything?" asked the garden.

Mei Daizi said: "No, I still can't see clearly, it seems that there is a black curtain or something, it's so strange." ”

Hondo Yingyou said nervously: "It's strange, we didn't see these window curtains inside just now. ”

Mei Daiko said, "Ah, I didn't mean that, I just felt that this window was very strange. ”

"What, what a strange method?" Lan asked in horror.

"Only half. "This window is only half of it, the other half is fake, and there is a wall behind it. ”

Midaiko said as she knocked on the window, and as a result, she made an inward sound, one representing that the back was hollow and the other that was solid at the back.

Yamazaki said, "We didn't see half of the windows in the villa before. ”

"Wait, I heard Conan running, hey? ”

After listening to this, Midaiko laughed.

The garden asked, "What's interesting?"

Mei Daizi smiled: "There is a room behind this, but the walls on the left and right sides are not far apart, and it is a very narrow room, or corridor. ”

Eiyu Hondo asked, "Can you hear this?"

Mei Daiko smiled: "Of course you can hear it, Conan's footsteps are separated by two walls, and it is different from when they are separated by one wall, and it sounds like the time between one wall determines the distance between the left and right walls." ”

Yamazaki said, "We've never seen such a small room before, which means it's a secret room. ”

"The Chamber of Secrets?" Lan said, "it was the band who was watching us. ”

Eiyu Hondo said, "But if you're a member of the band, there's no need to be sneaky. ”

Mei Daizi smiled: "It makes sense, it can't be that there is going to be another incident, right? Uncle is not here." ”

Yuan Zi said with great interest: "Let's go, let's go and find out where this secret room is." ”

"What else are you looking for. Mei Daizi jumped up and stood on the windowsill with her hands and feet, and on the narrow windowsill, she kicked the window with a twist and kicked, and then held on to the windowsill, kicked the window several times, and kicked the window open, revealing a narrow passage only one meter wide.

Lan said, "That's not good. ”

Mei Daizi smiled: "What's the matter, didn't my classmate say that he saw someone? It must be a thief." ”

Yuan Zi smiled, "That's right, we're helping catch the thief." ”

"I—I didn't say I saw people. Hondo Yingyou said weakly.

Yamazaki said, "Okay, Midaiko, you go inside first, be careful." ”

"Roger. Maida slipped into the window. ……

Inside the villa.

Conan searched left and right, but found no windows, and the number of windows was the same as what was seen outside.

However, hearing the sound of Midai kicking the window, Conan immediately realized that something was wrong, and there was a space next to the study on the second floor, just behind the wall behind the long bookcase.

It's a secret room.

"Not good. ”

Conan thought of a question, the other room in the secret room space is Bao Bo Lunzi, before they talked loudly downstairs, Bao Bo Lunzi ran out and lost his temper, and now Mei Daizi kicked the window so loudly, Bao Bo Lunzi should come out.

Now that Hobo Lunko didn't show up, and Eiyu Hondo said that he saw a figure in the secret room, there was a problem, because if it was just someone joking, there was no need for that person to hide, and he should have come out just now to stop Midaiko from destroying the window.

Conan knocked on the door of Hobo Lenko, but no one answered, but instead lured Jun Makino and Tendo Heng over.

Jun Makino asked, "What's wrong, little brother?"

"Is she sick, why didn't she open the door?" Conan was anxious, but couldn't say it explicitly.

"Lunzi, open the door, Lunzi. "Heaven Heng knocked on the door, but no one answered.

"Maybe maybe I've finally come up with a good tune, and I'm relaxing and sleeping, wearing soundproof earmuffs. ”

Conan lay on the ground, trying to go through the crack in the door, but couldn't see anything.

At this time, Mei Daiko appeared on the third floor, "Wow, it turns out that the secret room leads to this room." ”

"Secret room?" Makino Jun and Tendon Heng were surprised, and Conan hurried to the third floor. ……

On the other side, outside the villa.

Yamazaki, Sonoko, Ran, and Eiyu Hondo meet Yoharu Kuramoto at the door who is about to get into the car.

Lan casually asked, "Ah, Mr. Kuramoto, where are you going?"

"Oh, I'm going down the hill to buy something. Kuramoto smiled, "You guys go in quickly." "As he spoke, he was about to get in the car.

"Ah, great, can you give us a ride, Mr. Kuramoto?" said Sonoko with a smile, "My car is already on its way, and we'll get off halfway." ”

"Huh?" "Kuramoto was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "Okay, then you go and call your friends out." ”

"Thank you so much. Lan said gratefully.

Yamazaki found out that something was wrong, because if Kuramoto Yoshiharu knew that Mei Daiko was in the villa, then he should know about the secret room, and at this time he shouldn't go shopping in a hurry, but stay to see the secret room.

Unless Kuramoto Yaoji knew about the secret room early on, then, he might be the person who was in the secret room before, so he is now in a hurry to buy things, which is a bit unreasonable.

Without waiting for Yamazaki to stop him, Eiyu Hondo stepped forward and asked, "Wait, Mr. Kuramoto, how do you know that Miyamoto-san's room is in the villa, and the person in the secret room just now is you?"

Yamazaki found that Hondo Eiyu's reaction was also very fast, but there was something wrong with his thinking, from the perspective of time, Kuramoto Yaoji could know that Mei Daiko was in the villa, and came out after knowing the secret room.

"What secret room?" said Kuramoto, shaking his head, "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Yamazaki's heart moved, he didn't know the secret room, how did he know that Mei Daiko was in the villa? and knowing that Mei Daiko was in the villa, he must know the secret room, because Mei Daiko would definitely be exposed.

Yuan Zi smiled: "It's a secret room, a secret space, do you know? There is a secret room in this villa, it's on the second floor, you can go and see it with us." ”……
