Chapter 61: The Magician at the End of the Century 7
Officer Shiratori turned on the flashlight and led the way into the tunnel. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And at this time, outside the castle. The members of the Young Detective Corps made their way to a tower outside the castle.
"Gray Plains. There's nothing here. Yuan Tai looked around at the environment inside the tower and said disappointedly.
"I didn't say there's something here." Xiao Wai said lightly.
"I said, don't look for it, let's go back quickly." Dr. Asa came running panting from outside. Then he leaned against the wall and gasped for air.
However, Dr. Asasa held his hand against the brick on the wall and suddenly dented in. Then the floor where the members of the tower were standing suddenly opened, and all the members of the Junior Detective Corps fell.
"How could it be! Oops! Dr. Asa lay on the edge of the cave and watched in a panic as the children disappeared from sight.
And at the bottom of the cave. Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi fell down in turn. Xiao Ai stopped his sliding body in time. Seeing that the section that slid was not far from the ground, I jumped off it.
The children were no longer able to climb up the same path. There is no other way out of the ground.
On Kogoro's side, everyone was still walking in the dark tunnel.
"Speaking of which, Miss Natsumi, why is the password 'The Magician at the End of the Century'?" Secretary Xilu asked curiously.
"That's probably the title of great-grandfather. When my great-grandfather was 16 years old, he participated in the 1900 Universal Exposition, exhibited movable puppets, and later moved to live in Russia. Natsumi explained.
"I see. 1900 was indeed the end of the century. ”
Suddenly, the group walked out of the tunnel and into an empty cave. And in a small hole next to the cave, there was the sound of stones rolling down.
"I'll take a look." Conan and Heiji immediately ran towards the hole.
"Conan!" Xiaolan was worried and wanted to catch up. But he was stopped by Officer Shiratori.
"I'll just go over. Mr. Maori, please stay here with all of you. Officer Shiratori gave an order to Mori Kogoro and chased after Conan and Heiji.
"Hmm!"
The general turned around and found a figure retreating into the passage from which he came. Immediately chased after him.
After catching up, the flashlight shone towards the man, it was Pu Si Qinglan. I saw Pu Si Qinglan raise a pistol equipped with a silencer and aim it at the cadre.
biu。
Woo~Woo~.
"Ho. Ho.. ”
Pu Siqinglan clutched her neck and fell to the ground, wanting to say something but couldn't say anything.
And Conan and Heiji, on the other hand, finally discovered the source of the sound after walking in the cave for a while.
"It's you!" Conan looked at several members of the Young Detective Corps in front of him in surprise.
"Conan!" Ayumi and the others looked at Conan excitedly. They finally found it.
In the end, Ayumi, Xiao Ai and others also join the team in search of another egg of memory.
But. Because of the lack of light. No one noticed that there was no longer Pu Si Qinglan in the team.
The crowd walked for a while. Finally came to the end of the secret passage. At this time, what appeared in front of everyone was a door-shaped mural.
"There's no way out."
"Are you on the wrong track?"
"Impossible, there's only one way to get here." Officer Shiratori said.
"There are so many birds!" Ayumi looked at the mural with a curious look.
"It's strange, there's a big bird there with two heads." Mitsuhiko said in surprise.
"The two-headed vulture, the symbol of the Russian emperor." Xiao Wai said lightly.
The commander focused his flashlight on it, and then aimed it at the crown on the two-headed vulture's head.
Immediately, the ground in front of the mural began to sink. Then, the ground beneath their feet also cracked in the middle. Then, a staircase appeared in front of everyone.
Conan turned his head and frowned at Qianshoichi. And the general replied to Conan with a mysterious smile.
"That's cool!" Yuan Tai and the others looked at the stairs that appeared in front of everyone's eyes and the dark entrance.
"What a powerful mechanism!" Kogoro also showed a shocked expression.
The crowd walked into the dark chamber. Inside, I shone around with a flashlight, and I found that it was a dome-shaped secret room.
Several people lit candles in the dark room, and found a Western-style coffin directly opposite the entrance. However, it is not made of stone, but of wood.
And above the coffin, a huge copper lock was locked.
"Miss Natsumi. The key! Conan suddenly shouted to Natsumi Kasaka.
"Oh? Oh! Natsumi Kasaka took out the key from her handbag that she had shown everyone before. Ran quickly to the front of the coffin.
Insert the key into the keyhole of the copper lock, and with a strong twist, the copper lock is indeed opened.
"Can it be opened?" Kogoro asked Natsumi.
"Hmm."
Mori Kogoro, who was allowed to do so, lifted the lid of the coffin with both hands. As the lid of the coffin opened, a body in the coffin that had long since decayed and only skeletons remained in front of everyone.
On the chest of the decomposing corpse, there was another egg of memory.
"Miss Natsumi. Is this body your great-grandfather? Kogoro asked Natsumi.
"Nope. I think it should be my great-grandmother, and Yokosuka only has the grave of my great-grandfather. I've always found it incredible. Maybe it's because she's Russian, so she can't be buried in the graves of her ancestors. Natsumi Kasaka explained.
"Miss Natsumi, maybe it's not the right time, but can you show me the egg?" Secretary Xiru walked up to Natsumi Kasaka.
"Absolutely."
Just when Natsumi Kasaka turned around to pick up another egg of memories in the coffin.
There was a strange noise in the chamber.
biu~biu~biu~X12
Knock ~ Knock ~ Knock ~ X12
Everyone in the chamber collapsed to the ground. Except for the cadre one.
"Damn! Are you Scorpion! Kogoro lay on the ground and looked at Qianshoichi angrily.
"no~no~no~ Don't compare me to a lowly killer like Scorpion. If I were her, you'd all be dead by now. The general, holding a silenced pistol in each hand, walked towards the coffin.
Conan looked puzzled: She? Is Scorpion a woman?
"So who the hell are you!" Pingji asked unwillingly.
"I'm ~ you guess ~ I'll tell you if I guess. Hehehehehe. The cadre walked past the crowd one by one with a backpack on his back.
Walk over to the coffin with the lid that has been opened, and remove another Egg of Memories from the remains in the coffin.
"Bastard! Put the eggs down! Kogoro said angrily when he saw the actions of the dry general.
"Huh..." Shonichi ignored the angry Kogoro. He walked straight to a stone platform in the center of the chamber that was sunken in the middle.
Place the Egg of Memories you just got on the stone platform, then put down the backpack behind your back and take out another Egg of Memories from inside. It was the egg of memories that was stolen from the Suzuki family.
"So you stole the Egg of Memory!"
Conan and the others all showed surprised expressions when they saw that Qianjiangyi actually took out the memory egg that he had lost before from his backpack.
Because they didn't expect that the thief was actually a general.
"You're not a general, right! Where is the real Qianjiang now? Conan asked angrily. Because he believes that the real cadre is likely to have been killed by now.
"Him! Guess what. If you have the ability, just go find him out yourself~" The cadre in front of him said with a smile.
The egg of memories taken from the coffin is then opened from the middle. Then he took a small round mirror from his pocket and placed it at the bottom of the Suzuki family's Memory Egg, and placed it inside another Memory Egg. Finally, close the other egg of memory.
At this time, everyone lying on the ground silently watched the every move of the cadre in front of them. Because, they can't move now.
However, as soon as the general noticed that there was a small figure on the ground crawling slowly on the ground.
But he just smiled and didn't pay attention.
Spot the flashlight on it. Then it is inserted upside down in the groove in the middle of the stone platform. After putting it inside, I saw a silvery-white light rushing straight to the top of the secret room.
Then place the eggs of memory on the stone platform as well.
I saw that after the egg of memories was put on, the entire outer layer became transparent. The golden statue inside also slowly rose. After reaching the top, the emperor's sculpture opens the golden book in his hand.
Then, a white silver light was seen, which went through a series of reflections inside the egg, and finally projected onto the round roof through the gem at the top of the egg of memory.
Everyone lying on the ground watched in shock at this miraculous scene. On the dome, through the projection of the egg of memory, pictures of the entire family of Emperor Nicholas are displayed.
And in these photos. There is also a photo of Kiichi Kasaka with a young foreign woman.
"What a magician at the end of the century. Mr. Kiichi Kasaka. This ingenious design is really admirable. The general sighed.
biu~
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air.
The general's body shook slightly, and an ice needle flew over his neck.
"Yo. There is actually a naughty little mouse~" The general turned to the side and looked at Xiao Ai standing beside Conan with a smile.
But at this time, the smile of the cadre is indeed so dangerous in the eyes of everyone.
The general walked towards Xiao Ai step by step with a smile on his face.
"Damn! What are you doing! Kogoro shouted unwillingly.
"Don't come here!" Conan shouted with difficulty.
"Xiao Ai~" Ayumi and the others also looked at Qianjiangyi in horror.
As soon as the cadre walked in front of Xiao Ai, he stretched out his hand to Xiao Ai.
Xiao Ai kept stepping back. But in the end, he still did not escape from the palm of the commander.
"Looks so cute. But he doesn't understand anything at all. The cadres picked up Xiao Ai one by one and hugged him in his arms.
"Damn! Let go of that little girl! ”
Everyone glared angrily at the general. But no one of them was able to raise any strength.
"Kidd, the strange thief, I didn't expect to get your target so easily this time. It's a lot less fun for me. I hope that the next time we meet, I can experience more. The general walked towards the exit of the secret room step by step.
"Let go of Gray Plains!"
"What are you going to do!"
"To be honest, I've had a lot of fun these three days. To thank you for the fun you've given me these days, I'm not going to hurt this little girl. ”
"See you next time. Everybody! The general stood in front of the exit and glanced back at everyone in the secret room, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.
It's just that everyone, including the cadre, didn't notice that the fear in Xiao Ai's eyes disappeared the moment he was picked up by the cadre.
The general quickly came to the castle on a balcony on the side of the cliff with Xiao Ai in his arms.
"Bo Feng Yibin." Xiao Ai, who was held in the arms of the general, suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" The general looked at Xiao Ai in his arms in surprise.
"That's right. It's you. Xiao Ai asked lightly.
"Huh." The cadre put Xiao Ai down. There was no answer to Xiao Ai's question
"Don't want to admit it?" Xiao Ai asked lightly again.
"A woman who is too smart is not very likeable." The cadre scraped the bridge of Xiao Ai's tall nose.
As soon as the general grabbed the clothes on his shoulders and pulled hard, the short and fat figure disappeared. What appeared in front of Xiao Ai was a tall figure completely shrouded in black robes.
"Goodbye. Cute little beauty. The black-robed man jumped backwards and jumped off the balcony.
Xiao Ai quickly climbed to the railing and looked down at the cliff. Between the cliffs, a black glider flew quickly into the distance.
"Hmph~ I knew it must be you. The feeling of embrace. You can't go wrong."
On the way back, Xiao Ai met Pu Siqinglan who had fallen to the ground, and dropped two cards and a pistol equipped with a silencer and infrared aiming.
Pick up that pistol. Xiao Ai returned to the secret room.
At this time. Everyone in the secret room, except for a few children, had regained some of their mobility. It's just not very flexible.
In the end, after the reasoning of Heiji, Conan, and Kogoro, they all understood that Pu Si Qinglan, who was killed, was the killer Scorpion, and he was also a descendant of Raspuchin.
And the murderer who killed her is probably the person who disguised himself as Nishino Majin and Qianjiangyi.
It's just that from beginning to end, everyone didn't know the identity of that person.
And Xiao Ai, the only one who has a guess, will not tell the secret. After all, if I didn't guess wrong, it was that person who saved himself and his sister. Moreover, he is now the only support for himself and his sister.
Four days later, the police received a report that they had found Qianjiang Yi who had collapsed in a hotel.
The room was paid for four days at the scheduled time, and there was a Do Not Disturb sign hanging outside the door. In the end, because the hotel was due, the service staff went to clean up and found that he had not eaten for four days.
