Chapter 34 Harboring a Ghost in My Heart
Zero was a little surprised when she saw this, she didn't know what kind of training Ersan had done to these little ghosts in school, and she actually managed this group of bear children well.
Zero walked over, smiled and touched Ersan on the head, and said, "It seems that you are also keen on this detective game now." ”
was ridiculed by his sister like this, and the second and third faces turned red, and hurriedly said: "I—I'm not enthusiastic...... I just think I'm their leader, and I need to teach them the right thing. ”
Zero smiled, this is really a textbook tsundere.
At this time, Maori Kogoro came over and said to a few little children: "We have serious business to do in the castle, you little ghosts are not allowed to enter, understand!" ”
The little kids responded in unison, "Got it! ”
Seeing that the imps agreed so easily, the corners of Conan's eyes twitched, there was definitely something wrong with this, should they be looking for an opportunity to sneak in later......
"Mr. Maori, these children are here, so let them go in together. This is nothing more than a treasure hunt, and it doesn't hurt to bring these children with them, and there's nothing wrong with letting them gain some knowledge. Zero first said a few words to Kogoro, and then asked Natsumi, "What do you think, Miss Natsumi?" ”
After all, this is the castle of the Kasaka family, so I have to ask the owner's opinion.
Xia Mei has a kind personality, so she naturally readily agreed: "Okay, the children can go in with us." But you have to keep up with the team, this castle is quite large, and it will be difficult to find if you get lost. ”
The little kids had expected to be blocked out of the castle and were ready to sneak in, but now they were allowed to enter the castle in a grand manner, and they thanked Zero and Natsumi: "Thank you, Sister Zero, and thank you for this big sister." ”
When Kogoro saw that the main owner had spoken, he naturally had no way to refute it, so he could only reiterate to the little boys again: "Don't get separated, don't make trouble for us!" ”
At this time, the housekeeper Kuranosuke also said to Suzuki Jiroyoshi: "Mr. Suzuki, if you want to bring the dog in later, please be sure to keep an eye on it and don't let it run away." ”
Jiroji laughed: "My Lupin is well-behaved and smart, so you don't have to worry too much!" ”
In order to wait for the first officer, everyone stayed at the gate of the castle for a while, and Siruov complained: "Mr. Qian, it is inevitable that he will come too slowly." ”
As soon as the words fell, the cadres were finally late in the car. I saw him carrying a travel bag, got out of the car, and said to everyone, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I did some preparations." ”
Xiao Wulang looked at the big travel bag behind Qianjiangichi and teasingly: "Mr. Qian, are you planning to come for an adventure tour, and you still have such a big bag." ”
The general was unimpressed: "As the saying goes, be prepared." ”
Kuranosuke Sawabe opened the inner door of the castle, and the group entered the castle.
Now the number of people who come to the castle has increased a lot compared to the original plot.,Pu Si Qinglan, who was originally scheduled to come, was arrested.,But there are new zero.、A one、Two three、Miyuki、Suzuki Jiroyoshi with his dog Lupin、Fake Officer Sato、Dr. Asa and the boy detective team。
With so many people mixed together, it almost looks like a small tour group.
Kuranosuke took the group to visit the knight's room, the noblewoman's room, and the emperor's room, and the furnishings in each room were dazzling and admirable. Especially a few children, they are even more excited.
In the emperor's room, the cadre suddenly said to Kuranosuke: "That, I want to go to the toilet, where is the toilet?" ”
"The toilet is at the end of the hallway on the right."
The Qianjiang, who left the emperor's room, did not go to the toilet in the direction that Kuranosuke said, but trotted all the way to the noble lady's room that he had come to before.
In the lady's room, there are more than a dozen paintings, large and small, displayed on three walls, and I saw the cadres lifting these paintings one after another to check the wall behind them.
Finally, behind a certain painting, the general found a small secret door embedded in the wall.
"Hmph......" the general smiled treacherously, "as I expected." ”
After saying that, he put the painting on the ground, then took out a set of lock-picking tools from his bag, and successively inserted these tools into the keyhole on the secret door and tinkered with them.
Eventually, after some tossing and turning, the secret door was finally opened, and a small secret cabinet appeared, in which many gold and silver treasures were placed. The golden light of the treasure flashed, reflected in the eyes of the general, and all that was revealed was infinite greed.
"Although the second egg is not here, the treasure alone is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of yen." As soon as the general reached into the secret door, he grabbed a handful of gold and silver and prepared to stuff it into his bag.
However, as soon as he held the gold and silver in his hands, an iron ring suddenly stretched out from the bottom of the dark cabinet, and the wrist of the dry general was firmly cuffed.
At the same time, the ceiling above the cadre's head was suddenly opened, and several swords fell suddenly.
"Ahh——!h The general immediately screamed in fright, and at the same time subconsciously squatted down.
The expected fate of the sword piercing did not come, and it was only the cadres who discovered that these swords were suspended by ropes and would not fall directly to the ground, but more of a intimidating effect.
Of course, these swords suspended in the air are not far from the ground, about one meter and a half distance, and if you don't squat in time, you may be stabbed or even stabbed to death.
The people who heard the screams hurried over, but saw this strange scene in front of them.
"What's going on?" Kogoro asked.
"This is an anti-theft device made by Mr. Kiichi more than eighty years ago." The butler Kuranosuke took out a key from his coat pocket, helped the cadre untie the iron ring that was cuffing him, and said lightly, "There are still many mechanisms in the castle, if you behave incorrectly, your life will be in danger, please be careful." ”
Over there, "White Bird" checked the backpack of the first general, and saw that the items in it were really complete, including saws, electric drills and other tools. It seems that this guy has long intended to make a big deal in the castle.
Looking at the whole set of lock-picking tools, Ah Yi couldn't help but let out a laugh.
In addition to his superb reasoning skills, he inherited from his grandfather Kazukosuke Kaneda.
One is the ability to be empty-handed, which he has mastered very well. In the original plot, Aichi was able to take away the other party's underwear through the clothes without Miyuki noticing. In addition, in the "Jintianyi Juvenile Murder Incident", Ah Yi was framed as a prisoner, and while his hands were handcuffed, he was able to steal the handcuff key from the police officer who escorted him unconsciously, and took the opportunity to untie the handcuffs and escape on the pretext of going to the toilet.
The second is the ability to pick the lock, as long as you give him a needle, no matter how complicated the lock can be opened to you. Of course, this is limited to locks that are opened with keys, like combination locks and fingerprint locks, and there is nothing he can do.
Therefore, when he saw that Qianjiang Yi had prepared such a complex set of tools for unlocking, Ah Yi naturally wanted to express his disdain.
In fact, these two skills Kaneda Ichikosuke also taught to Zero, but Zero's predecessor did not study this, and the reincarnated Zero also focused on the cultivation of fighting skills, so whether it is a good hand or a lock, Zero is very unfamiliar, especially the magic hand empty skill, which is definitely 100% caught red-handed.
Kidd naturally didn't look down on this kind of unskilled theft, and after turning over the entire backpack, Kidd, who was pretending to be Officer Shiratori, said: "Next, please ask Mr. Qian not to act without authorization, as for this backpack and other things inside, Mr. Maori will keep it for the time being, how about it." ”
The cadres were caught stealing, and now they have no position to oppose it, so they can only say yes.
"What does Mr. Maori think?"
"Don't worry, leave it to me, I'll take care of this bag." Kogoro patted his chest and promised.
After Kogoro finished his promise, Conan and Aichi spoke at the same time: "Mr. Sawabe/Mr. Butler, does this castle have a basement/secret room?" ”
After the two finished speaking, they glanced at each other, and it seemed that they wanted to go together.
Since Kiichi Kasaka likes to set up mechanisms so much, there must be a hidden room in the castle.
Ah Yi looked at Conan with a little more questioning in his eyes, as if asking how such a child could have thought of this. And Conan seemed to feel Ah Yi's doubts, and hurriedly tilted his head to the side.
"As far as I know, there are no rooms like this castle." Kuranosuke said.
"Does Mr. Kiichi have an office or a study in the castle?" This time it was Zero who spoke, after all, the limelight can't be robbed by the other two.
"If you want to go to the study of Lord Xiyi, please come with me......"
The group followed Kuranosuke to Kiichi Kasaka's study. The study area is not small, there should be more than 60 square meters, several bookshelves stand against the wall, and the total number of books should be no less than 1,000 volumes. Many of these books are printed in the last century, and the collection alone is worth a lot.
In addition to the bookshelves, there are photographs and photographs by Kiichi Kasaka on the walls.
In the center of the study are two sofas and a long table.
Most of the photos are personal portraits of Kiichi, as well as some of him with members of the Russian royal family, as well as a photo of him with Rasputchin.
Except for a few little children, the rest of the people now know that Pu Siqinglan is a descendant of Raspuchin, and they can't help but feel embarrassed when they look at this photo.
But Conan found something wrong, there are photos of Natsumi's great-grandfather Kiichi Kasaka, photos of members of the Russian royal family, and even photos of Rasputin, but what about Natsumi's great-grandmother?
So Conan asked Xia Mei, "Sister Xia Mei, isn't there a picture of your great-grandmother here?" ”
"I don't think so, so I still don't know what my great-grandmother looked like."
Conan thought it was a little strange, how could there be a lack of photos of the hostess in the master's study? However, no matter how much you think about it, Conan can only ignore the problem for the time being.
Everyone searched around the room and found nothing unusual.
"It seems that there should be no mechanism in this room......" Kogoro muttered casually, and then he saw an ashtray on the table, and felt that he was a little addicted to smoking, so he asked Kuranosuke and Natsumi, "Can I smoke here?" ”
"Feel free." Natsumi said.
After asking for permission, Kogoro took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette and smoked it.
Conan suddenly realized that the lit cigarette was floating from the bottom up, and immediately reacted and said to Kogoro: "Uncle Maori, lend me the cigarette!" ”
said it was borrowed, but Conan had already snatched the cigarette butt directly from Kogoro's hand.
The cigarette that hadn't smoked a few puffs was suddenly robbed, and Kogoro was naturally very angry, and asked Conan sharply: "Little ghost, what are you doing!" ”
"If there is wind blowing up from below, it means that there must be a secret space below." Conan said as he kept wandering around with the cigarette butt, trying to determine the exact location according to the situation of the smoke.
Eventually, when he walked to a certain floor on the right side of the wall, Conan noticed some clues and hurriedly crouched down and groped on the floor.
It didn't take long for Conan to feel a small groove, and he grabbed his finger on the groove and lifted a small piece of the floor.
