Gao Cheng vigilantly picked up the blood-stained hat, and his gaze fell on the half-open door of the Jiaota Gate.

A section of the corridor connecting to the main building collapsed, exposing the stone tower to wind and rain, indicating that the fire was quite serious.

Gao Cheng gently opened the tower door and turned on the flashlight again.

This side should have been locked, and there are only two possibilities that Conan's hat appeared here for no reason, one is that Conan was brought here, and the other is that the prisoner in the dark is deliberately seducing him.

The latter is undoubtedly more likely, and the prisoner is probably hiding somewhere in the Jorta and waiting for him......

Interesting.

Gao Cheng walked to the blackened staircase, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

It's cool to find the murderer by reasoning, but he doesn't rule out direct violence, and if he is the only one, he doesn't mind having fun with the criminal, but now of course it's best to solve it quickly.

"Click." Suddenly, there was a slight movement outside the tower, and someone stepped on a small branch.

"Huh?"

Gao Cheng stopped, listened carefully, and rushed out of the tower gate without giving anyone a chance to react.

It was not the murderer who appeared in front of him, but the frightened Ayumi and a few others, and even Gray Yuan stood aside.

"You ......"

Gao Cheng looked at the grinning Ayumi in confusion, pulled over the gray plain and said, "What's the matter, don't you want you to look at them?" ”

"No way," Gray Yuan said helplessly, "A few of them sneaked out without permission......"

"Because we're all worried about Conan."

Ayumi grabbed a bag full of bread and looked at Gao Cheng with a blank eye.

"Please, we want to help too, we're sure we'll find Conan soon."

Gao Cheng sighed in his heart, it would be more troublesome to have these little ghosts follow, but it would not work to leave it alone like this, it would be worse for these bear children to run around by themselves.

"Whatever you want, just don't die."

"Huh?"

Ayumi finally followed Gao Cheng into the charred stone tower, but he was not small but he was very afraid of the surroundings, and gathered around Gao Cheng tightly.

I really owe these guys something in my last life......

"What is this?" Gao Cheng looked at the bread bag strangely.

"Because Conan didn't eat, we left bread for Conan, otherwise Conan would starve to death......"

"How can you starve to death so easily?"

Gao Cheng walked in the charred tower step by step, the walls on the side were nothing abnormal, empty, and there was not a single clutter.

"Let's look for it, there should be a secret passage here." Gao Cheng is a few humane towards Bumei.

Not only did he want to find Conan, he also wanted to find out the guy in the dark as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be sure.

"It's so dark over here, it's dirty." Mrs. Yuan's little fat man looked around at the black wall with a flashlight.

"Of course, this place was on fire four years ago."

Mitsuhiko groped for the wall with great energy, and unconsciously walked into the toilet on the second floor: "Hey, Brother Joto, come and take a look, there seems to be something wrong with the wall here, and it is empty inside." ”

"Really!" Ayumi and the others gathered around Mitsuhiko, who was constantly banging on the wall.

"But I can't push it away......"

"Have you forgotten? The entrances to the secret passages here are all trapped. Gao Cheng looked outside vigilantly and followed into the toilet as well.

The toilet was in tatters, of course there was no clock to use as a mechanism, only dusty sinks, cracked mirrors, and a dirty toilet with a hidden secret door right next to it.

Gao Cheng walked around the side and noticed the strange decorative lamp above the toilet.

"Is that it?"

After a few attempts, the secret door next to it clicked open with a distinct hinge sound, revealing a small, pitch-black space.

There was nothing in it, only a hole and an escalator leading downstairs, and before Gao Cheng could say more, Yuan Tai had already excitedly drilled down.

Gao Cheng shook his head with a wry smile, worried that something would happen to a few people, and hurriedly followed with Gray Yuan.

"You deliberately ran here, there should be something to investigate, right?" Gray Yuan took this opportunity to ask Gao Cheng.

"The person who captured Conan this time should have nothing to do with the fire four years ago, maybe he deliberately set that fire, and he was a ruthless guy......"

Gao Cheng sighed lightly and looked at the Ayumi who were looking everywhere in the secret passage: "If we weren't there, these guys wouldn't know how they died, really, when would they be able to save some snacks." ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, what do you think will become of a child of this age, and that sloppy little detective?" Gray Yuan said blandly.

Gao Cheng was helpless, and turned to Gray Yuan and said, "Where is the treasure code?" Any clue? ”

"There's nothing particularly difficult about that chessboard," Gray Yuan walked ahead indifferently, "Let's talk about it when we get out." ”

"Isn't it difficult?"

Gao Cheng scratched the back of his head.

He didn't understand what was going on......

"Brother Joto!" Ayumi's surprised voice came from the front, "There's someone over there!" ”

"Someone? Wait a minute......"

"Ahh It's skeletons, skeletons! ”

"There will be corpses here," Gao Cheng walked past the shivering Ayumi to the white-haired skeleton, "they have all completely turned into white bones, and they have been dead for many years......"

Gray Yuan walked over: "What's the matter with this corpse?" ”

"It wasn't supposed to be here," Gao Cheng looked around and turned around in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it was transferred after being discovered by Conan." ”

"Transfer?"

"It's troublesome to be discovered," Gao Cheng's gaze fell on the dark corner behind him, "The fire four years ago killed 15 people, and even the bones were burned to ashes...... That's right, right, the former housekeeper who used the fire to impersonate Mrs. Tai?

"It's time to come out after following it for so long, right?"

"What are you talking about?" The ugly-looking old lady slowly walked out of the darkness, "I just heard the movement and came over to see, what happened?" ”

"Oh? Are you able to walk on your feet? ”

Gao Cheng looked directly at the old lady, but he didn't expect this guy to come out in a hurry, and it was really difficult to deal with it all the time hiding in the dark.

"This skeleton has much thinner foot bones than other places, as if she was an old woman who had a problem with her foot and couldn't walk...... There are 7 last words left in the secret passage on the other side, isn't it too coincidental? ”

"Hmph, it's worthy of being a famous detective who has become famous recently, he would know so much, if it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't find the treasure, I wouldn't have come to you, and I can only blame you for your life."

The old lady's glasses reflected, took out a steel pipe from her back, and said with a hideous smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you stay in the dark basement like this old woman, and when you die in two or three days, I will put you and that glasses imp in the woods together." ”

"Brother Joto......" Ayumi was so frightened that she clung to Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng stopped a few people behind him and asked calmly: "Mrs. Tai and the servants who starved to death two years ago, did you also kill them?" ”

"That's right," said the old lady, whose face was even uglier, and she raised her pole high and said with a cruel smile, "I came to this castle for the treasure, but the old woman found out that she wanted to drive me out, and I could only pretend to be her......"

"1 6 lives, for a treasure that I don't know whether it's true or not, you killed so many people, is it worth it?" Gao Cheng's eyes were fixed, and he paused and took the initiative to walk towards the monster-like old woman.

"What?"

The old woman's face changed, and she roared and rushed towards Gao Cheng, with a strong contrast between her vigorous skills and her old and deformed face: "Nosy guy! Who told you to be clever and pursue yourself! ”
