Hattori Heiji silently glanced at Shiraishi, then at Moriran, who was watching the ornaments next to him, and finally at the weak chicken Tokyo detective who had been turned into a child by the window......

Among these four people, no matter how you look at it, they are the strongest.

Why did he deliberately stuff a weapon to let him defend himself?

…… Could it be that the meaning of "holding self-defense" is to let yourself hold it and help them defend themselves?

Hattori Heiji couldn't figure out Shiraishi's brain circuits for a while.

But this folding stick is not bulky, and it is easy to carry, and Hattori Heiji didn't feel anything at all, but when Shiraishi said it in that tone, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and he felt that nothing was right in this villa.

In the end, he reluctantly thanked him, put away the folding stick, and continued to lean over to the window to observe the situation.

After looking at it twice, he was stunned and remembered something.

Conan seemed to be lying here just now, looking out, why did he suddenly disappear when he hesitated to take the folding stick?

Could it be that he found some clues and rushed to verify them?

……

Conan did find something unusual, but not about the "chess game" outside the window, but about the castle.

Before entering the room, he also looked at the other rooms along the way, especially the location of the windows in these rooms, in order to find a suitable viewing spot.

Therefore, Conan leaned on the window and observed for a while, and accidentally glanced to the side, and suddenly felt that something was not right.

- The window in the next room is two or three meters away, but the window in this room is right against the wall, and the window in the next room is almost against the wall.

Where did the extra distance come from?

Combined with the background of the castle, Conan immediately came to the conclusion that there was a secret passage in the middle.

Thinking about this, he instantly became excited, and Conan secretly glanced at Heiji Hattori and Shiraishi, who were still talking in a low voice, and felt that he was one step ahead.

This time, although they were working together to help the castle master solve the mystery, with Hattori Heiji by his side, there was no need to hurry, and Conan's sense of victory and defeat also quietly emerged.

Of course, he still had a little bit in his heart - judging from the area of this castle, the secret passage must be not small, and if the castle is moved from the outside in its entirety, and then reviewed, there may be some dangerous mechanisms in the secret passage.

So Conan planned to find the mechanism of the entrance to the secret passage first, and then tell the others about the entrance, and go in with them to check it out.

Conan looked around the wall first, but couldn't find any suspicious mechanism.

So he pushed the door open again and left, and ran next door to investigate.

This time, Conan's gaze quickly stopped on a clock on the wall.

The clock looked broken, and now it was six o'clock, but it showed three o'clock.

Conan dragged a small stool for his feet, stood up and opened the lid of the clock, and tossed the hands round and round.

It's easier to try out, because it only has two hands, not even a second hand.

Push the minute hand and turn it a few times, and if you're lucky enough, you can always run into it.

Conan began to push the minute hand.

As he turned to 12 o'clock, he heard a click.

Before he could show the joy of success, the wall in front of him suddenly flipped over, turning him in with the footstool, and then clicked tightly.

……

"What sound?" In the next room, Moriran and Hattori Heiji were stunned at the same time.

Shiraishi moved away from the door he was leaning on and said apologetically, "I just wanted to lean against the door, but I didn't notice that it wasn't next to the wall. ”

“！” Mao Lilan didn't seem to be too energetic, so he was immediately alert, secretly rolled up his sleeves, approached the past, and was ready to pick up people at any time, "Are you sleepy?" ”

It seems like it's time to be sleepy.

She counted with her fingers - all day today, Shiraishi had been awake all day except for a sleep at Nagato's house. Such a long period of waking time made Mao Lilan, who had been out with him a few times, not very accustomed to it.

Now that he wants to sleep again after seeing Baishi, Mao Lilan feels that everything has returned to normal, and he feels the value of keeping up. I also helped others today, and she was in a +1 mood

……

There was darkness in the secret passage, but Conan did not panic, but entered the crime-solving mode, and his excitement and death skyrocketed.

Although knocking on the wall at this time can attract the attention of the three people next door.

But when Conan turned on the flashlight on his watch, a pillar of light illuminated the staircase that slipped down.

He was immediately distracted by the unlit darkness below the staircase, and was going to take two steps down the stairs and see the situation and come back for help—and then, like some people who say they would sleep after the next page, he descended several flights down the stairs until he reached the end.

Some people end up bald.

But at the end of Conan, there is a horrific pile of hair.

Looking closely, Conan was surprised to find that it was not just hair, but a complete skeleton.

His face suddenly became serious, and he wanted to take a closer look.

But as soon as he squatted down, his scalp suddenly weighed heavily - someone had put something on top of his head.

In this dark secret passage with corpses, someone suddenly approached silently, and touched a fatal place like the head...... In an instant, the hairs on Conan's back exploded.

He jerked his hand to take the unidentified object down, and at the same time turned around, only to see an unexpected person.

Before the Black ...... could finish speaking, Conan saw the other party make a silent gesture towards him.

Shiraishi then wrenched his wrist and let the flashlight on his watch shine back on the corpse, while slapping Conan's outstretched hand away from his head.

Conan had just had time to pull half of the stuff off his head.

He could see it by the light - it was a black and green striped beanie.

Today, on their way here, the season does change from autumn to early winter, and the weather is a little cold.

But Conan always felt that the black cat was not the kind of person who would come to give him a hat because it was cold. Even if you give it away, you can't give it to yourself - this bigwigs with a strange temper will already be very face-saving if they don't throw him in the snow.

"No picking. You keep checking as if I haven't been here. After hearing this, Conan felt the black cat let go of his hand.

Although he was told "when I didn't come", Conan still subconsciously glanced back.

However, it was pitch black behind him, and no human silhouette could be seen at all.

Conan didn't dare to turn the flashlight back to shine, he was puzzled for a moment, raised his hand and touched the hat on his head, but finally obediently did not take it off, lowered his head and continued to examine the corpse.

Originally, Conan was still a little nervous, but now that he knew that the black cat was nearby, he was much more relieved and bold, and began to concentrate on collecting information from the corpse.

Shiraishi had already switched to the form of a cat at this time, and continued to squat nearby to observe.

What he put on Conan just now was one of the pieces of armor he had drawn before, the porcelain melon skin hat.

It greatly reduces the damage taken by head impacts, but it also has drawbacks.

- When attacked, the hat will come with a lot of sticky and dirty blood.

Shiraishi tried it once, but was so smoked that he almost washed himself bald, and then he secretly made up his mind that as long as he didn't go through any bullets in the future, he must receive this hat to the bottom of his backpack.

But if you give it to others, you don't have to worry about it so much.

Conan is so capable of dying, this smell of blood is the price to save his life, and he won't mind thinking about it. Of course, it is useless to mind.

As Conan intently brushes aside the scarlet's loose cloak and examines the skeleton, Shiraishi sees Nishikawa walking into the secret passage.

She picked up a brick, grimaced with a gloomy face, and approached Conan, who knew nothing from behind.

Shiraishi gave Nishikawa a √ in his heart.

- Giving her a head first should give her a certain sense of accomplishment.

Shiraishi is like a novice planner of an eighteen-rate mobile game, and he is seriously engaged in balance.

In general, because the people who came to the castle were no longer the young detective group in the original plot line, but two high-force ratios, in this battle, Nishikawa was at an absolute disadvantage.

In order to achieve the condition that the goblins "let her have enough sense of accomplishment and then let her fall to the bottom", it is necessary to balance the forces of the two sides as much as possible, and even let Nishikawa have the advantage.

While Shiraishi was thinking, the ghost next to him was also reserved but couldn't hide his excitement in the discussion.

It could be seen that they had been floating in the secret passage for too long, and they were almost sick.
