Chapter 84: The Detective's Curiosity
Xia Muxing sorted out the books, stuffed them back into the bookshelf, and helped the chair back to its place, "Grandma Mamiya, did you just see that child?" โ
Mamiya Masudai slowly turned the wheelchair, leaving Xia Muxing with a back that was getting farther and farther away, and his voice was old and crazy, "I don't know, I probably ran somewhere and got lost, I hope he won't accidentally break into that tower, it's a tower cursed by resentful spirits......."
Seeing that the palace was getting farther and farther away, Xia Muxing snorted coldly, "The old lady who pretends to be a ghost." โ
There was also a resentful curse, obviously someone found a strange place in the tower, and the old lady locked the door of the tower, starved to death and threw his body into the wild, creating the illusion of being lost in the woods and starving to death.
The hallway resounded with the cramped footsteps of multiple children, who seemed to be running.
Xia Muxing looked out, it was the children of the Junior Detective Group, and there was a panting Dr. Asa in the distance.
Ayumi's voice hurried, "Conan is missing!" Brother Shepherd! โ
Ayumi clutches the evidence bag, and the croissants inside are pinched.
"Who did you listen to?" Xia Muxing frowned.
The news spread too quickly, and after checking the second floor, I immediately went up to the third floor, and I originally wanted to investigate it alone.
Now that the Junior Detective Corps has followed, it's hard to get rid of it.
"We heard Mr. Tian Tian say that he just came down from the bathroom on the second floor, and he didn't see Conan." Mitsuhiko's face was flustered, "Mr. Tian Tian also said that he hoped that Conan would not run around, otherwise he would be blinded by ghosts when he strayed into the tower, lose his sense of direction, and he would not be able to find it in the nearby forest, and finally die of thirst and starvation!" โ
"Yes! It's horrible! Let's go find Conan! Yuan Tai directly pushed open the door next to him, pulling his neck and shouting, "Conan! Conan, you're not here! โ
"I don't think Conan should be there, it's the bathroom......" Mitsuhiko pointed to the pool inside, and the sink, which had an unobstructed view.
"Whew, whew." Dr. Asa finally chased after him, panting, it was not easy for such an old age, with a fat body, to follow the child upstairs.
"I think it's going to be fine." Dr. Asasa pulled out a badge-sized badge, "Is the badge I gave you for the Junior Detective Corps still there, we can use the Junior Detective Corps badge to call Conan." โ
Produced by Dr. Asasa, it must be a high-quality product, the badge of the Junior Detective Corps, with a receiver and a small flashlight, which can be used as a small walkie-talkie that can emit light, and the signal can be received within five kilometers.
Of course, it is still a product of science and technology, if the signal is physically blocked, such as a particularly deep basement, a place with a complex magnetic field, there should be no signal, or there is none.
"I called! But there was no response. Ayumi choked up, "Conan won't be fascinated by ghosts, will he..... Conan is going to starve to death in the forest, woo-woo-woo....."
"Then let's spread out and look for Edogawa-san." Gray Yuan Wai spoke calmly and comforted Ayumi, "It's okay Ayumi, Mr. Tian Tian also said that the tower is usually locked." โ
"So, after we look for a while, if there is no news of Conan." Xia Muxing looked around, looking at everyone's worried, nervous, or frightened expressions, "Let's call the police and ask the police uncle to come over and help with the search." โ
"Good!" X5.
"Dr. Agasa, you take Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Motota to the second floor to look for it. Nana, Gray Plains stayed behind and I searched for it on the third floor. โ
Dr. Asa raised his hand and touched the top of his smooth head, muttering to himself, "I also gave Conan a lot of props, it should be fine......
"The fact that Conan lost contact is already a matter in itself." Nana removed the top hat on her head and some bits and pieces of small decorations on her body, "Ayumi, wait a minute, can I put these things in your backpack, they will be easy to fall off when they run......"
Ayumi turned her back and faced Nana with her red schoolbag, "Just put it in it." โ
Dr. Asasa takes Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Motota to the second floor to look for them.
Nana and Ashbara stayed in this house.
Gray Yuan Wai stared at the old-fashioned clock, "Brother Muxing, the key is that." โ
Xia Muxing closed the door, walked to the clock and dialed the minute hand, "You two are close to me." โ
Gray Yuan Ai and Nana stood on the left and right sides of Xia Muxing, each dragging the corner of Xia Muxing's clothes.
Under Xia Muxing's rough movements, the old-fashioned clock made a piercing click, the minute hand rotated rapidly, and the hour hand also circled from 1 o'clock, rotated for one turn, and reached 12 o'clock.
Click!
There was a sound like something was in the groove.
The wall where the old-fashioned clock was located suddenly rotated clockwise, slapping Xia Muxing and Gray Yuan Ai into it.
Poof!
Nana hit her head against the wall next to the secret door.
Because she was standing on Xia Muxing's right hand, Nana was squeezed outside as the wall rotated.
Looking at the two people who had disappeared, Nana's stunned hair automatically transformed into a question mark, and her hands touched her reddened forehead with a blank expression.
"Meow meow?"
Nana floated, looked at the clock on the secret door, and began to dial the minute hand.
After many turns, the hour hand turned for 48 hours, and the secret door did not move.
This clock should be the one that Conan dialed when he went in, so why can't I touch it?
The team channel suddenly flickered.
[Xia Muxing: Nana, didn't you come in? Then you are outside, help me keep an eye on the position of the palace increase, this clock should have some kind of limit, and it can only be turned on once in a short time. ใ
Conan turned once, the wall flipped over, revealing the clock behind him, Xia Muxing turned again, and both opportunities were used.
[Nana: Okay, qaq.] ใ
......
As soon as the picture turned, it was pitch black in front of Xia Muxing and Gray Yuanai, who had entered the dark passage.
There was no light at all.
Gray Yuan took off the badge of the Young Detective Corps, and the faint light shone on the ground, forming a circle.
"The doctor's equipment is still very practical."
Gray Plains looked at the space around him, and found that it was a dark and closed corridor, with a dead end on the left and a staircase leading to the bottom on the right.
"Indeed, some of Dr. Agasa's inventions are very powerful." Xia Muxing nodded in agreement, "Isn't Conan's equipment made by Dr. Asasa?" โ
Gray Yuan Wai glanced sideways at Xia Muxing, and then took the lead and walked down the stairs, "How much do you know about Edogawa-san." โ
"Very smart kid." Xia Muxing replied.
"......" Isn't that the same as not saying it?
Gray Plains looked down the steps below and walked down carefully, "Doesn't it matter if Nana didn't follow up?" โ
"She." Xia Muxing thought for a while, "You should be more worried about whether it matters if someone wants to be bad for Nana." โ
"That's right." Gray Yuan remembered the scene last time Nana punched and flew several meters into the adult, and nodded thoughtfully.
"There's blood on the front." Xia Muxing stopped Gray Yuan's mourning.
Underneath the stairs was a platform with a small pool of blood on the ground.
Xia Muxing approached, squatted down, and poked out his index finger and nodded, "It's still a little warm, it should be Conan's." โ
"This reckless detective .......," Gray Yuan lamented, "wouldn't it be good to call you along, I have to go alone." โ
Xia Muxing smiled and defended Conan, "The detective is very competitive. โ
"Take a look over here." Xia Muxing pointed to the wall next to him and the ground around him.
Gray Yuan Wai pinched the detective badge, slowly changed the angle, and clearly swept over the place where Xia Muxing pointed.
"There is less dust in this area, there should be something pressing here, it has existed for a long time, and Conan was also knocked out because he saw something he shouldn't have seen." Xia Muxing pointed to the wall again, "There are notches here, take a photo." โ
There are traces carved by sharp objects on the walls, which are crooked, and in the end the characters are all deformed.
[There are people in the castle, coveting treasures, and they are dressed as my wooden .....]
"The last word, should it be the appearance?" Xia Muxing touched the marks on the wall, numb, not mellow at all.
"Who could have written the nick?" Gray Yuan lowered his head and thought, "Who is he pretending to be?" โ
In the dark corner, Xiao Hei's figure stared at the two people, the young man was too perceptive, he had just dragged away the body, and before he could clean up the scene, he found this place through the secret passage.
No, we have to find a chance to kill him.
Let him find the body, and my identity will be revealed.
"I already have a clue." Xia Muxing smiled confidently, that's right, people who have read the script are so inflated, knowing the answer and then going to do the question, it is not too simple.
"Let's go, Conan should be on the other side of the Tower."
Gray Yuan frowned slightly, but still held the badge of the Junior Detective Corps and probed the way in front, "Why? โ
In Xia Muxing's ears moved slightly, listening to the faint sound of footsteps, and then looking at the gray plain who was walking in front, the small figure was hidden in the darkness, and the faint light was shining in front of him, as if the lantern fish hidden in the endless abyss was seducing the murderer.
Since learning to meditate, Xia Muxing's perception has been much stronger than before, and he can clearly hear the small footsteps of the palace increase, and he should be peeping at himself and Xiao Ai in the dark.
"No why, let's go." Xia Muxing smiled, slowly stopped, and secretly protected.
Click!
In the distance, a secret door opened, revealing a gap.
Through the gap, you can see that outside the secret door is the corridor on the second floor of the castle.
"Huh! What's wrong with the walls here? Yuantai's voice rang out.
"Wow, is this a secret way! Could it be that Conan opened it? Ayumi's voice.
"Just go in and see! Help, Doctor! โ
Immediately afterwards, the secret door was pushed open by several people and penetrated in turn.
Click.
The secret door closed.
A few people could only see a faint light in the distance, "Eh! Look over there! Isn't it Graybara-san! โ
Yuantai and the others also turned on the flashlight of the juvenile detective group, and hurriedly greeted them, "Gray Yuan classmate! What about Brother Muxing? โ
Gray Yuan Wai looked inexplicable, "What do you say again, isn't Brother Muxing ......?"
Gray Yuan Wai turned his head and found that there was no one behind him, his pupils shrank, a cool air surged from bottom to top, his scalp was numb, and he was excited, Brother Muxing! I'm just following behind!
"I was following just now, but it's gone now."
Gray Yuan Wai pointed behind him, the deep darkness, like a hideous monster that silently devoured creatures, Xiao Wai involuntarily took a few steps back, and accidentally bumped into Ayumi.
Looking back at everyone, she saw that everyone looked terrified, staring at the darkness she had just pointed to.
"Gray Yuan-san, don't scare us." Yuan Tai felt a chill down his spine, as if someone was blowing behind his back, goosebumps crawling all over his arms, and his hairs stood on end.
"Could it be that Brother Mu Xing and Conan are all missing!" Ayumi hugged the evidence bag with the croissant on her chest, "Let's go out and call the police now!" โ
Dr. Asasa also felt a chill on his scalp, although it was more likely due to the lack of hair....... But it's just chilling!
"Let's go back and push that wall!" Dr. Asasa hurriedly ran back, pushing hard through the secret door that had come in earlier.
"Dr. Asasa wait for us!" Motota, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko shouted and followed.
Gray Yuan Ai tentatively took a look at the back, and found that there was indeed no Xia Muxing, so he suppressed the worry in his heart and chased after him.
Although I've always heard that Kudo guy said that Brother Muxing is very good and better than Nana, he still hasn't seen it with his own eyes after all......
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
In the scorched tower, in the storage room, Xia Muxing was half-sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, through the window, and the moonlight sprinkled illuminated the floor of the storage room.
Xia Muxing glanced at Conan, who was lying on the cold ground, who had not yet woken up, and sighed.
Keep your head down, click on the team channel, and exchange information.
[Xia Muxing: Nana, have you seen her? ใ
[Nana: I searched for an afternoon, and asked Mr. Mamiya and Mr. Tian Tian, and they all said that I had never seen the eldest lady. It's probably still in the dark tunnel. ใ
[Xia Muxing: In my name, call Officer Dusk directly, and contact me at any time if you are in danger, and give you an increase. What time is it outside? ใ
[Nana: I would have called the police a long time ago, but it is in a remote area, and the twilight officers may come slowly. It's 18:12 outside, and it's nightfall. ใ
[Xia Muxing: Yes, awesome, baby understands me. I'm in the tower right now, and I've found an unconscious Conan. Did they go out? ใ
Nana saw Xia Muxing praising her, narrowed her eyes with a smile, and wrinkled her little nose, [Nana: Xiao Wai They didn't come out, I was waiting in the hall on the first floor, didn't you move over there. ใ
[Xia Muxing: Harm, I'm still thinking about waiting for Conan to get up and tell him the process, let him go out to reason, I really don't want to write reports and transcripts.......]
Xia Muxing took out a velvet blanket from the storage compartment, wrapped Conan, and took out a bandage and wrapped it around Conan's head twice.
Such a young child has been knocked out directly until now, and she is not afraid to hammer Conan to death.
"Uh....." Conan exhaled in pain, waking up slowly.
"I'm sorry, but I may have hit a wound while wrapping the bandage." Xia Muxing's face was expressionless, and there was not the slightest sense of apology on his face.
Conan had just woken up, and when he heard the voice, he suddenly tensed, and raised his head vigilantly...... "Hey, Brother Muxing?" โ
Seeing the familiar person, Conan relaxed, "What's wrong with me...."
Conan tried his best to recall the previous picture, his face changed, and he struggled to stand up, "Not good!" Everyone is in danger! The big lady is being pretended to be by someone else! She's all there is to the castle's treasures! โ
Xia Muxing pressed Conan excitedly, and his voice was cold, "If you act with me, maybe we will be finished today, didn't I say to wait for me?" โ
Conan's body stiffened suddenly, "I'm just curious about the secret passage, I want to see what kind of ...... is inside"
