27 Trap Door

"How...... Will you be out here? ”

Kidd, who was weak and his lips began to white, couldn't help but say forcefully after seeing who was coming:

"Aoko, she...... What's wrong? ”

"Don't worry, just let her sleep for a while."

The figure who came here, wearing a blue trench coat, couldn't help but explain:

"If I don't do this, with the way you are now, I almost let this young lady of Officer Nakamori's family find out that your current face is what you really are."

"Huh-"

However, Kidd didn't seem to appreciate it very much, and responded a little stubbornly:

"This kind of trivial matter, even if you don't come, I can handle it at once!"

In this regard, Gao Yuan sighed helplessly, shook his head and said:

"It's light...... In the first room, there was such an obvious smell of disinfectant water, did your blood stains get there? If the police find out, even if you do it, you will still leave evidence. ”

"If it's really discovered...... This kind of thing, as long as you sneak into the Metropolitan Police Department afterwards and replace the samples taken by the police......"

Kidd struggled, but his face still showed a hint of pain.

"You ...... guy"

In this regard, Gao Yuan was a little helpless, took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, unscrewed the cap, poured out a pill, leaned over, and sent it to Kidd's mouth-

"Painkillers, let's take them first. You look like you're not lightly injured......"

"How...... I'd like to ask you how you have this medicine with you......"

Swallowing the pill, Kidd didn't seem to want to show weakness in front of Takato, so he said sarcastically.

"Don't get me wrong, if it weren't for Miss Koizumi saying that you fell into someone else's trap and were injured and in danger, I wouldn't have prepared so many things."

Gao Yuan explained:

"Now Mr. Terai is dealing with the blood stains in the first room...... Originally, I also brought reagents that could remove iron from the bloodstains, but looking at the structure of the room, it was easier to remove the bloodstained area...... After all, all the rooms you are trapped in are in the original building, newly built buildings......"

Saying this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but change the topic and asked:

"Speaking of which, do you know where you are now?"

"Hmph-"

Hearing this question, the corners of Kidd's mouth couldn't help but be filled with a smug smile, and he couldn't help but say:

"Shanni Temple, Throw Hall."

"Oh, did you notice?"

Without saying much surprise, Gao Yuan said.

"Of course......"

Kidd struggled, slightly adjusted his posture against the wall, and then said with a wry smile:

"I've been calculated to this extent, and if I haven't figured it out, then I'm not 'Kidd the Thief'! That old nun...... I should have figured out that only she could take out the fake Guanyin statue to lure me to steal it, and open the mechanism impartially at that time......"

"En......"

Gao Yuan nodded in agreement, and explained:

"The museum was made by the 'Ariri Housing and Construction', and the 'Ariri Housing and Construction' was also responsible for the renovation of the Shanniji Temple. Therefore, if you connect these clues, it is easy to think of the possibility that the person in charge of 'Ariri Housing and Construction' colluded with the residents of Sanniji Temple......"

Saying this, Gao Yuan's eyes couldn't help but look at the keyhole on the wall over there, which looked a little old, and added:

"I didn't know why...... But judging from the current situation, the other party's purpose may be to let you open the door...... In short, while it is now, the people who are guarding here have just been taken care of by me, and the police and the nun have not yet come, so you should retreat first. ”

"It's all come to this, and if I don't thoroughly figure out what's behind that door, I'm not going to just give up!"

Saying this, it seemed that the painkillers had taken effect, and Kidd was already able to stand up, and his expression was not as painful as before, and he came to the door of the machine-

"Such an exaggerated structure is a bit like Misui Yoshiemon's masterpiece......

Looking at this one closely, there are a full hundred keyholes on the door, neatly arranged in a "10*10" phalanx of trap doors, Kidd couldn't help but sigh, and then took out a piece of wire from his pocket, slowly walked to the outside of the door frame, stretched out his hand and casually penetrated the wire into one of the keyholes-

"If you want to verify if it's Misui Yoshiemon's thing, just ...... like this"

Hearing Kidd say this, Gao Yuan seemed to think of something, and hurriedly subconsciously retreated in the direction opposite the door.

Then, just after Kidd drove the wire deep into the keyhole, a needle about two meters long was pierced out of the entire hundred keyholes-

A hundred iron needles were pierced out like this, and it is estimated that if someone stood in front of this door, anyone would be pierced into a hedgehog in an instant.

And when all the keyholes are pierced with iron pins, directly above all the keyholes, a square hole is opened, and a manipulator sticks out of this small hole, along with a folding fan held by the manipulator.

When the manipulator also reached a length of about two meters, the fan also opened, and two Chinese characters were written vertically on the folding fan - "success or failure".

Then, all the iron needles and manipulators were retracted into the trap door, as if nothing had happened.

"This style ......"

Seeing this, Gao Yuan is almost certain-

This machine gate must also be the masterpiece of Misui Yoshiemon!

After all, after the mechanism was maliciously opened, the folding fan with defensive measures was like a mockery, just like the big vault "Iron Beaver" in Suzuki Jiroyoshi in the original work.

"Sure enough, it's a masterpiece of Misuzuyoshi Emon......"

Thinking back to the scene just now, Kidd couldn't help but say:

"Now, then, try to open this door, and see what that old nun is trying to get me here!"

Kidd walked back to the door and said with some indignation.

"The hole that repeats left and right is real?"

In this regard, hearing Kidd say this, Gao Yuan also came up with some curiosity, and when he saw the words written on the doorknob, he couldn't help but think:

"Ten by ten squares, repeat left and right...... In the style of Misui Yoshiemon, it wouldn't be a matter of opening a few keyholes in the square, and these keyholes would just form some text, right? ”

Saying this, Takato couldn't help but think of the "monster warehouse" in the original work, which was also the masterpiece of Misui Yoshiemon, and the way to open the mechanism was to combine the kanji "Sanshui" through different arrangements on the mechanism.

"It seems...... You know a lot about Misui Yoshiemon......"

Hearing this, Kidd couldn't help but say with some surprise:

"I think so too. Judging from the hints, it is estimated that the Chinese characters for 'left' and 'right' were written in this square, and if you open the keyhole at the overlap, the door may open. ”

Kidd thought about it, and couldn't help but analyze.

"The difference between 'left' and 'right' lies in the 'work' and 'mouth' below, so that they are overlapped, and the same part should form the ...... of 'た'"

"You...... Could it be that he is Chinese? ”

Coldly, while still analyzing Gao Yuan, Kidd suddenly looked at Gao Yuan and asked with a slight strangeness......
