Once something is added to previous conjectures, or is linked to history, then the value will increase exponentially.

Similarly, a dilapidated warehouse that has just begun to be built has a different meaning than a warehouse that has been built since the shogunate period and where treasures may have been present.

Seeing Conan at this time, he said seriously to the old man.

"The warehouse you are talking about started directly from the shogunate period, so the builder, could it be Misui Yoshiemon?"

After hearing this familiar name, the old man nodded directly, "That's right, it seems that he built it, what's wrong?" ”

After hearing that your guesses have been confirmed, it seems that you don't think this matter is so simple that it can be explained.

He hadn't forgotten the scene of the last time he and the thief Kidd and Taiyi cracked the big vault at the same time.

"I think it's better for us to contact the police officers of the three search departments to come over and conduct a detailed investigation!"

Relying on Conan's words alone, that old man didn't believe it very much, but with Taiyi's words, the weight was completely different.

After seeing the police officer who searched the third section coming, he looked at the few ghosts in front of him, the helplessness, and the expression of having to pinch his nose, it was really full of joy.

Obviously, because these little ghosts are causing trouble everywhere, it can be said that there are few police officers in the Tokyo area who don't know each other.

“…… Are you telling the truth? Found in this warehouse, the escaped prisoner, what happened? ”

"That's right, that's right, it's the same criminal who committed many crimes in the nearby jewelry store and antique store."

Not yet, when the police officer who came here was saying something, the group of little ghosts had already answered completely chattering, and they saw that Yuan Tai was there at this time and said excitedly.

"That guy is in this warehouse, and he has a lot of treasures hidden in it!"

Looking at the group of excited imps in front of him, and then at Taiyi next to him, with a smile on his face, the police officer didn't know what to say, so he had to touch his forehead helplessly and open the door of the warehouse.

After all, I've come here, and I always have to go in and take a look, but after the door opened, I looked at the empty environment inside, and complained a little weakly.

"After this warehouse is opened, not to mention the people inside, there may not even be a single protection!"

"Of course, it's because there's a mechanism in it, the kind of mechanism that can hide treasures!"

After hearing what Mitsuhiko said, the officer looked around, but still didn't find that there could be a mechanism in a place like an ordinary warehouse!

"Where are you talking about?"

looked at Conan, who was really in the last row, and stopped talking several times, but before he could speak, he was told by Yuan Tai, Mitsuhiko, and one of them said a word, and I saw those little ghosts, and said with interest one after another.

"Let's look at the stairs at the entrance first, it's four steps, right?"

The officer listened to what the light flame said, looked down and nodded, but what did the steps represent?

"Then you look at the stairs inside the warehouse, and it's five steps."

"Is that really the case!!"

Originally, I thought that what these children said was nonsense, but now after hearing what they said, especially the steps in front of him, the police officer in front of him believed it a little in his heart.

Because you know, if it is not deliberately designed like this, then there should definitely be a symmetrical relationship, so the possibility of a mechanism in the house is indeed very large.

In addition, the officer passed by, and after the children pointed it out, they found that the distance of each step was higher than the inside, so if you look at it, there are definitely some other secrets hidden underground.

"I see, that's why you accidentally rolled down when you just entered this warehouse?"

Conan, who was already angry, rolled his eyes helplessly after hearing Taiyi's words at this time, he hadn't forgotten that after he fell, this kid took the lead in mocking.

"Hehe, if it weren't for the fact that I thought it was the same as the entrance, it was four steps, and it wouldn't have been like this~~~"

"But does that alone mean anything?"

Looking at the dark warehouse and the empty appearance of the surroundings, this police officer, although he wanted to believe that there was a mechanism in this warehouse, but he still didn't understand it, so he said with a little confusion at this time.

"As you said, there are more steps inside than the outside, and the height is high, which means that the floor inside is much deeper than the outside."

As he spoke, he took a flashlight and looked around to find that the warehouse was still empty.

"But this only shows that it's a little deeper inside, and it doesn't look like there's a place to hide people or treasures, so can the floor still be moved?"

"Well, what's this thing on the ground?"

Before the officer could complain a few words, when he transferred the flashlight to the floor, he found something on the ground, as if there was something, and the police officer, who originally thought it was an antique or a treasure, looked down and found that it was just a small badge.

"This is the badge that was placed as a marker when we first came here, and there was nothing in the warehouse at that time."

Ayumi, who has always been quiet, was also quite active at this time, just looked at her, gestured to her little hands, and said to the police officer with her hands dancing.

"But after we left the warehouse, we looked through that window and saw a lot of treasures inside."

Raised the flashlight and looked at the window in front of him, and the officer in front of him wondered if he had a brain twitch, so he began to play a game with this group of ghosts.

When he was about to complain about two sentences, he turned his head and saw Taiyi's serious expression, swallowed the words again, and said a little helplessly.

"I just take a look, and I can see that there are about two buses from the ground, and from the outside, the windows are about two meters from the roof, and there is nothing unusual about the ceiling here, and there is no trace of your badge being moved, which means that there is nothing in the floor!"

"It's actually a trick designed by this warehouse to make people think so."

When the group of imps said this, their faces were very mysterious, especially after seeing the officer's puzzled expression, they were even happier, and recently took out the detective badge and shouted inside.

"Yuantai, it's up to you next!"

"Okay, I'll open it now."

After hearing the voice of a little fat man from inside the badge, the window outside was opened, but when they saw this scene, everyone was stunned.

Because below Genta, there is another window, but what he opens is the wall above, which is an illusion of eyes that deceives everyone.

"It's, what's going on? There is also a window above the window. ”

Until this moment, the officer still couldn't believe his eyes, and was still asking the little fat man with the window open.

"Are you sure you're really opening the real window outside?"

"That's right, I climbed a tree to open it."

After hearing Yuantai's affirmative answer outside, the police officer finally believed the fact that this group of children said that there would be an organ in this warehouse.

"This situation is so strange, you must know that the gap in the window below is also shining through the light, eh, strange, why is there no light now?"

As he spoke, the window at the bottom was like a wall, and there was no light at all, and in short, the warehouse felt more and more strange.

"It's because the wood under the window is cut out of the gap, just enough to let the light into the window, and then a window is added to the gap to make it look like a real window."

"As for not being able to see the light inside, it's because after opening the window, I activated the wooden planks and other devices that slid inside the wall, and blocked the light from the cracks in the wall."

After hearing this group of imps, after telling all these reasons, he looked at the wall again with a flashlight, and found that the upper and lower windows were clearly visible, and if it weren't for the light, it should be able to be exposed at a glance.

Isn't it easy to debunk? So what is it for? ”

Obviously, after some reasoned speculation by these little ghosts at the beginning, the officer had completely put them on an equal footing, and did not notice the tone of his speech, which was a bit of a request for advice.

"That's right, if this warehouse was built in modern times, it would be an ordinary institution, but if it was built at the end of the shogunate, that is, before the flashlight could shine in the distance, and he could only look around with a torch, wouldn't that be the best disguise?"

It's like taking modern things to ancient times, and you'll find that many of them are priceless, and the flashlight is a very good invention, not to mention other things like lighters.

So after hearing what the little mourner said, the officer nodded, thinking that this was indeed the case, but he still had a doubt in his heart.

"So how do you climb up to the ceiling?"

"The ceiling is not something we can climb!"

In the face of what the officer said, Ayumi shook her head, looking very serious with a small face, but it felt even more cute.

"We came here, we made a mark when we first came in, and put the badge on the ground, and when we came back here, our badge was in its original position, but the badge that was placed on the wall was suddenly gone."

"Suddenly disappeared ?!!"

The thing in front of him was like rehearsing an interesting play, and the officer didn't know if it was because he was too fascinated by it, or because he was too interested in this kind of mechanism, and the anxious look on his face made him want to laugh when he saw Tai Yiyi next to him.

"Soon after, it fell from above, so it's likely that only the badge was placed, and it happened to get stuck on the ceiling, so it naturally fell to the floor after hanging in the air for a while."

After listening to Ayumi's receipt, only this one officer directly shone the flashlight on the ceiling, because according to what this group of little ghosts said, the next useful information is in the sky.

"You said it was stuck on the wooden board of the ceiling, that said, do you say~~~"

"That's right, because in the beginning, Conan said that the window was opened, and from the outside, it looked like it was covered with security, so if this ceiling could be moved up and down, that would be for sure."

At this time, not only did everyone understand, but even Xiao Wai next to him nodded in a sudden understanding.

"In this way, in the ancient era when there was no remote control, if the mechanism in the warehouse could be built, it means that someone must be in it."

While talking, I saw the current Xiao Ai, looked around with a flashlight, and said lightly.

"But now we can't see that person at all, and if there is no trace of leaving the warehouse, then the only possibility is that the person must still be in the space above the ceiling."

"A person who is surrounded by treasures and hides in this space, not daring to come out, then the only thing that can be possible is the thief who has caused the topic of the streets and alleys now."

After all the inferences were made to this group of imps, they all ran in front of Conan and said to Conan with an expectant face.

"How? Our reasoning is pretty good, isn't it? ”

"It's perfect, you guys are amazing!"

looked at Conan in front of him, clapping his hands constantly, expressing his admiration for them, and this group of little ghosts suddenly cheered.

"It's really amazing!!

"Well, you think about how the ceiling moves, don't you know it?"

Looking at Conan, who had no chance to play at all today, was about to add something, those imps began to chatter again.

I saw Mitsuhiko, pointed directly to the big abacus bead next to him, and said very surely.

"Now the only way to move the mechanism is to rely on the abacus of that abacus."
