Chapter 368: Ancient Mansion (5)
“???”
“???”
This call blinded Lu Yuan and Xiaolan, and Lu Yuan hurriedly took out his flashlight and shone on the thing.
Sure enough, it was a cat, a wild cat, all in the dark, although it was a wild cat, but the food was quite fat, the eyes of the two cats flashed green light in the dark, but at this time they were full of horror, Xiaolan's hand just happened to pinch the cat's neck, making the cat worth four legs straightened, with big characters in the air, the cat's tongue was on the outside, and it looked like it was going to be scared to pee.
"This ......" Xiaolan also saw the cat she was holding in her hand clearly, frowned awkwardly, and couldn't continue to pinch the cat, so she put it on the ground.
"Woo~" A very aggrieved cry, the cat was probably scared to the point that his legs were weak, and after being put on the ground, he couldn't even get out of the way, so he could only shrank in place with a shudder, looking pitiful.
"It's a cat." Lu Yuan muttered, and then thought about it: "So, the previous battery is estimated to have been run away by this cat, after all, cats are willing to play when they see small things." ”
"I think so." Xiaolan said, although the green dot is just a cat's eyes, not a ghost, a god is relieved, but on the other hand, it is just a cat, so this development is too boring, it doesn't seem to help the case at all.
That's when it happened.
"Huh? Wait, what is this? Lu Yuan suddenly wondered.
Xiaolan was stunned, and also looked at it, it turned out that there was something tied to one of the cat's hind feet, Xiaolan Fu pulled the thing down, and found that it was a small button.
"This is ......" Xiaolan's eyes lit up: "This is the button on Conan's clothes!" He shouted.
"What?!" Lu Yuan was also taken aback, and hurriedly took the button.
Actually, there is nothing special about this button, but anyone who has read Conan's comics knows that Conan wears that children's suit almost 70% of the year, and there is such a button in the middle of the suit.
"This is Conan's signal to us." Lu Yuan came to such a conclusion very directly.
Xiaolan is not stupid, she naturally understands, but she asks again: "Can ...... But how do we find him? ”
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment: "What can be determined for the time being now is that this cat has been with Conan and others, and it should not be far from here, and there should be no paper, pen, or cloth where they can write, otherwise, they just tie a small note." ”
After listening to this, Xiaolan also nodded in agreement: "However, it's still that problem, how do we find them." ”
Lu Yuan didn't answer, so he put the chubby wild cat on the ground, and made a 'shhh' silent gesture to Xiaolan, and then took Xiaolan to the corner of the middle hall.
"What are we doing here?" Xiaolan wondered.
"Shh~" Lu Yuan motioned for her to keep quiet, and then pointed to the black cat.
At this time, the black cat was still trembling on the ground, not daring to move, and after a long time, it stood up embarrassedly, and the darkness of its two green eyes flickered continuously, and then the cat walked towards the side of the corridor.
It is estimated that he was also frightened stupid by Xiaolan's amazing blow, the cat has not recovered until now, walking tremblingly, Xiaolan and Lu Yuan calculated the distance, and quietly followed behind the cat.
I watched the cat get into the study at the end of the hallway, the room with the carpet, the bookshelves, and the paintings on the walls.
"There's definitely something wrong there." Although Lu Yuan couldn't explain the specific reason, at this time, the cat should subconsciously go to a safer place, so Lu Yuan followed.
After entering the study, Lu Yuan looked around again and found that there was nothing special, the same as when he came before, but it was a little different...... The cat was gone.
"Huh? What about Blackie? Xiaolan couldn't help frowning.
"Blackie?" Lu Yuan was puzzled.
"Oh, it's the black cat just now."
After Lu Yuan listened to Xiaolan's explanation, he didn't know what to say, thinking about your shot just now, you directly asked for half of the cat's life, why did you name someone in a blink of an eye, do you have such a good relationship?
This kind of trough Lu Yuan definitely couldn't say, he just responded: "There should be some hiding place here, cats are creatures that especially like places like horns, small holes, and the like." ”
As he spoke, Lu Yuan was about to rummage in the study, but he didn't find anything useful.
Just when he thought it was strange. Suddenly...... He seemed to have stepped on something, and the feeling of a foreign object under his feet was very obvious.
Lu Yuan lowered his head and found that he was stepping on the edge of the stall at this time, and under the carpet, there was obviously something.
Lu Yuan bent down and lifted a foot on the carpet, finding that there was a gadget pressed underneath...... Battery.
It was the battery he had pulled out of his flashlight earlier.
"Why is this thing here?"
Lu Yuan looked at the battery, and for a moment, it seemed that something suddenly came to mind.
He put down the battery and looked at the surrounding environment, this study is not big, it is surrounded by bookshelves, only in the middle of the position, there is a carpet, judging from the location, it should be just to let people just look at the paintings on the wall, and deliberately put it there.
Coincidentally, at this time, Xiaolan also happened to look around other places, and found that there was nothing special, so she came to the front of the painting, looked at it carefully, and happened to step on the stall.
She just looked, looked.
Then, as if she had discovered something, she took a few steps towards the painting, talking as she went......
"This painting seems a little crooked." With that, she came to the front of the painting and reached out to move it and straighten it.
In an instant, Lu Yuan felt that his brain was penetrated by a beam of spiritual light.
The specific picture is that he feels as if he is in a completely dark scene, and suddenly, his pupils shrink, and a light crosses his background board, diagonally 45 degrees past his head.
At this moment, all his doubts were cleared.
Lu Yuan hurriedly shouted.
"Don't touch that painting."
Then, he was still a step slower, only to see that Xiaolan had already put her hand on the drawing board, shook it, and then looked at Lu Yuan suspiciously.
"What did you say?"
The voice did not fall. Just listen to a click.
"Ahhh————h
Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise, and then fell to the ground.
And at her feet, there was a hole.
The hole was supposed to be a loose-leaf, covered by a carpet, so it was not visible, and immediately afterwards, the loose-leaf door clicked and closed.
It's just that the carpet that was originally flat has become crumpled because of the hole just now, and it is not even smooth at all.
