Seeing Shiraishi, Heiji Hattori breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if this teammate is very unreliable, his combat effectiveness may suddenly become negative at any time...... But one more person can at least share clues.

Moreover, the act of telling one's own situation to another person is itself a very effective induction and summary.

Moreover, judging from the fact that Shiraishi could predict the current situation in advance, when he is not asleep, his role will definitely not be small, and together with him, he may be able to find out the truth about the castle and Conan's whereabouts faster.

Heiji Hattori briefly recounts what happened after Shiraishi fell asleep, especially Conan's disappearance.

Then he told Shiraishi about his own speculation:

"I think there are two possibilities, one is that Kudo witnessed a 'shouldn't see' scene, was arrested by someone who wanted to kill him, restricted his movements, and even ...... It's possible that he has already been killed.

"But what Kudo saw should have nothing to do with the treasure and the Mamiya Man-we have already said that we will not covet the property left by the ancestors of the Mamiya family, and there is no reason for the Mamiya to attack us because of the treasure.

"If the others want to bypass the head of the family and get the treasure, it is difficult for them to think that a child can solve the mystery, and there is no need to kidnap Conan to use as mental labor.

"So at first, I focused my search on the rest of the castle and the corners where it was easy to hide, but there were no leads...... I had to contact the police, and they would send someone over, but it would probably be there in the early hours of the morning, and then they would have to supervise the people in the castle and start a wide search. ”

Shiraishi nodded, thinking that the police relationship was easy to use.

He kind of wanted to remind Hattori Heiji to ask his police friends to help bring a trailer so that he didn't have to drive the car back again, just pretend to be asleep and rub the police car.

But now that Conan is missing, as a kind neighbor, he shouldn't have paid attention to driving, so he swallowed back and continued to listen to Hattori's analysis.

Another possibility is that Kudo discovered some secret passages or secret rooms - it is not surprising that these devices are located in a historic castle that was moved from abroad.

"When a mechanism is touched, it is usually accompanied by a certain sound...... By the way, I don't think the people of the Mamiya family don't know that there is a secret passage in the castle, otherwise Mamiya would have told us about the situation, which would have made it easier to solve the mystery.

"Of course, it could also be that there is something unsightly in the secret passage. But in this case, most people don't specifically invite detectives to come to the castle to investigate.

"So I'm more inclined to believe that these traps have been forgotten for a long time and have not been used for a long time - that is, they will only activate louder.

"But before and after Conan's disappearance, ......" Hattori Heiji suddenly glanced at Shiraishi, "There is no other suspicious sound in this vicinity except that you leaned against the door and inadvertently slammed it against the wall." ”

"So I thought Kudo might have triggered the trap a little further away. But just now I searched the room a little further away from this floor, but I still couldn't find where the mechanism was. ”

"So I'm wondering now if it was the movement you leaned against the door that masked other sounds, like Kudo's touching the mechanism, that gave us the illusion that he had disappeared 'quietly.'"

When he first thought of this, Hattori Heiji actually suspected that Shiraishi was doing it on purpose, after all, the timing was too coincidental.

But when I think about it, I feel that there is no motivation.

Both Kudo and Moriran seem to trust Shiraishi.

If Baishi wants to kill them, as long as he finds an opportunity to inquire about their itinerary, and then "encounters" them when they go out, and after the plot is successful, it will definitely be much safer to throw people into the deep mountains and forests than to add such a variable as himself now. Ranwen

In addition, when Shiraishi made a move, Hattori Heiji immediately looked back.

He was able to determine that Conan was not in the room at the time, and that there were no mechanisms in the room that were closing.

When Heiji Hattori thought of this, he immediately came to this room and leaned against the door in the same posture as Shiraishi at that time. He then searched all the walls in his field of vision, but couldn't find anything suspicious.

…… In other words, if the moment Shiraishi leans against the door is really the time when the mechanism is triggered, then at that point in time, Shiraishi can't see Conan at all, and he can't grasp Conan's actions.

So this should just be a coincidence. Such coincidences, while rare, are not entirely absent.

- Of course, as a detective who pays attention to science, Hattori Heiji could never have imagined that Shiraishi actually had a ghost who could report to him.

In short, after a series of brain supplements and trial and error, Heiji Hattori came to a conclusion.

- Conan must have disappeared near them, and the sound of his disappearance was similar to the sound of a door hitting a wall, otherwise it wouldn't have been confused with the sound of Shiraishi leaning against a door if the timbre was too far off.

With the support of the guiding ideology, when Hattori Heiji approached the room that he had ruled out in the first place, he immediately noticed the problem after a little observation.

This room, as well as the window in the next room, was built against the wall.

But when you look from the outside, you can see that the windows are too far apart—there is probably a secret passage in between.

Thinking about it like this, Hattori Heiji suddenly understood.

No wonder Conan immediately noticed the problem, when Hattori Heiji was busy talking to the staff, and Conan himself ran in front, listening while looking for a window to observe the yard.

Hattori Heiji didn't think much about it at that time, and followed Conan directly into the target room, so Conan's observation of the window was much more detailed than his.

- I made up for myself a little bit, and Hattori Heiji felt much better. He walked next door and began to look for where he could hide a possible mechanism.

He quickly noticed the decorative frame on the wall, and the clock above the frame.

If you look closer, there are still a few dragged fingerprints on the transparent cover, as if someone grabbed it in a panic and didn't catch it.

Hattori Heiji couldn't remember what Conan's fingerprints looked like, but when he compared them a little, he felt that the size did look like a child's left.

"This should be it." Heiji Hattori and Conan had the same idea, and while talking to Shiraishi about the situation, they began to move the pointer.

After turning back to 12 o'clock, the mechanism on the wall flips again.

Shiraishi raised his hand and used some force to hold the wall that had turned away.

Hattori Heiji also raised his hand to push on the wall, felt the weight, and showed a look of "sure enough":

"He must have disappeared from here, this kind of force is really enough to catch a child in it...... But when there was such an accident, he didn't knock on the wall to remind us that we were obviously next door. ”
