107 Chapter 107
Chapter One Hundred and Seven
The gunfire led several detectives and police officers present to the lookout.
It is a one-way passage, and although there is a lower passage leading in all directions, there is no way back to the hall where the circus is taking place.
When Mori Kogoro and Officer Twilight ran to the top of the stairs, they saw Conan Edogawa standing aside with a serious expression.
"He's gone here." The boy turned his head.
The child's body allowed him to nimbly run ahead of several people, but after chasing the man with the gun, he suddenly disappeared.
It's right at the crossing, with several different roads leading to the galley, the control room, the storage room at the rear, and behind which all the ship's built-in engines are located.
It seems that the man was familiar with the structure of the ship and could find a hiding place in no time.
"Officer Twilight, should we let the guests on the ship take refuge first, if it's an indiscriminate shooting......" Kogoro Mori began.
"Now we can only contact the captain first, and then conduct a secret search." Officer Twilight pressed his hat and whispered, "Those bullets were all aimed at that passenger, not an indiscriminate shooting." β
"You mean revenge?" Maori Kogoro frowned, "Also, the Ikekawa chaebol family has a big business, and it may provoke a lot of people." β
The officer next to him paused.
He looked up at the top of the staircase, where the man who had been grazed by the bullet was tying his long hair back and tying it with a rubber band, the sharp edges and corners of the male were slightly blurred by the dim light of the passageway.
The light illuminated the eyebrows and eyes that were seven or eight similar to the photos he had seen countless times, and Officer Twilight was stunned for a moment before looking away.
ββ¦β¦ If that person was the murderer of that case, it was not impossible that he would have been attacked. β
After muttering this, he raised his voice, "Maori, let's go to the person in charge here first and ask him to block the passage on the lower level." That guy didn't succeed just now, maybe he will do more crazy things. β
"Yes!" The habit of being in the police station in his early years made Mori Kogoro subconsciously stand up straight.
Case......
He remembered that when he got on the boat, Officer Twilight had said that he had come for a matter.
Conan Edogawa frowned and tried to search for it with his phone, but the signal on the sea was intermittent and the web page was too slow to load, so he simply sent a text message to Dr. Asa to ask.
After sending it, the boy put the phone back in his pocket and hurriedly followed the footsteps of the two adults towards the control room.
===
At the entrance, the person who had no expression when he was shot at a gun just now finally couldn't help but show a helpless look.
"I'm really fine." He refused several times in a row, but the doctor holding the medical box applied several layers of medicine to the wound and wrapped it tightly with bandages.
Compared to the injuries that I would have suffered on the previous mission, the place that was grazed by the bullet just now was not even a wound, and now it was wrapped in several layers so carefully, which felt like a big fuss.
Just like a parent, he pressed his shoulder from behind, and semi-forcibly let him accept the full range of treatment from the accompanying doctor.
"Someone from the organization?" After the doctor left, the pink-haired man asked.
To be so hostile to Ikekawa Na, he could only think of this prefix word.
ββ¦β¦ You ask me? β
Ikekawa Nai touched the band-aid on the side of her face that was forcibly pasted, and when the other party walked away, she couldn't help but tear it off, revealing the wound that would have healed if she bandaged her side face later.
Isn't this guy a little too self-conscious, the two of them are now members of the organization, and the other is an FBI agent in disguise after faking his death, it should be okay enough to talk about this, right?
"I'm sorry, but there was always a feeling that you would answer." Okiya's face did not change, but the hand on the other party's shoulder was slightly heavier, as if to show a sense of presence, "Because you are very strange today." β
Ikekawa paused, looking sideways at the hand on his shoulder.
Looks can be disguised, but physical memories are difficult to change. In the past two short days, he was used to shortening the distance with Shuichi Akai, and automatically drew the other party out of the range that needed to be vigilant, so when the shoulder was held just now, the alarm bell in his head never rang at all.
But if it had been placed in the past, he would have knocked off the opponent's hand the moment he was touched on the shoulder.
Unable to find any reason to explain the change, Ikekawa reached out and patted the man's hand away, straightened up, and walked towards Mori Kogoro, choosing to skip the topic with silence.
As soon as he walked behind the two of them, the captain who had left after negotiating with Officer Twilight in front of him hurried back.
"Oh no! Mr. Police, Officer! ...... cabin there"
He ran out of breath, and was calmed down by an experienced police officer before he took a breath and spoke: "I just sent someone to check according to what you said, and someone pried open the cabin where the lifeboat was placed at the stern, and all the spare oil was gone!" β
"Captainβ" As soon as he finished speaking, a man dressed as a crew member ran through another passage, his face pale, "Captain! The floors in the storage compartments and underground passages are all filled with engine oil, even on the decks above! β
"What's going on?!" The captain raised his voice, and the sweat that he had managed to stop slipped from the corner of his forehead, "Didn't you let you patrol the ship twenty-four hours a day?" Someone poured oil into the cabin and you didn't even notice?! β
"We didn't last patrol, and it's been less than half an hour since we ......."
"Ship, captain."
In the control cabin behind, a woman in uniform, also in uniform, walked out, holding a mobile phone in her hand, and her voice was panicked, "Someone sent you an email just now." β
"Don't you see I'm busy? You can just deal with the little things! β
Looking at the other party's flustered expression, it doesn't seem like a trivial matter.
Thinking of the man's intention to lure him down just now, Ikekawa Nai frowned and asked, "Captain might as well listen to her first." β
"The person who sent the email didn't speak, it was just a recording, a Didi voice." The woman's lips twitched, and she picked up the recording, pulling her voice up to the maximum.
For a while, the 'ticking' sound of the electronic watch moving echoed in the narrow corridor, making the faces of several people present change.
"Bombs, someone planted a bomb on this ship! Damn it! Even Officer Twilight couldn't control his voice, so he quickly called out to the captain and contacted the police station with the ship's communication equipment with little signal interference.
The phone was quickly connected, and after reporting the situation here, he raised his voice, "...... Now there are not only gangsters on the ship who have attempted murder with guns, but also bombs, and Captain Matsuda is not at the police station?! β
"What?!" The man tried to keep his voice down, but the hallway was small and quiet, and the voice still reached everyone's ears, "What about transferring someone from somewhere else?!" Okay, then please send someone over quickly......"
"Officer Twilight, what's going on?" Waiting for the other party to hang up the phone, Mori Kogoro was the first to ask.
"There was a school building where a large number of bombs were planted, and now the Metropolitan Police Department's demolition team is all going to deal with the situation there. It would take time to bring in the police from elsewhere. β
"Isn't that a huge waste of time?"
Toru Amuro frowned, and the crew led him to check the oil condition.
In between patrols, in just half an hour, the oil could be dumped in all corners of the ship's hold, which the man who had just shot him would not have been able to do.
I just don't know how many people there are.
"As for Mr. Ikekawa." Officer Twilight turned to the man next to him, who hadn't spoken, "Have you had a feud with anyone lately?" β
"...... feud?" Ikekawa made a thoughtful look.
He actually has a lot of enemies, and it is not easy to find one that has nothing to do with the organization and is simply a feud in the business field.
His thoughts were taken as clueless by the few people next to him, and Maori Kogoro reminded him.
"For example, if you steal a business, or buy something, I read the news, didn't you buy a brand recently? That's what...... Right! Dog food! β
Toru Amuro:.
He remembered the painful past of staying up late two days ago to investigate a dog food brand, and his brows jumped fiercely.
"I seem to have a bit of an impression of this." Officer Twilight, whose daily activity is to watch the news, recalled, "I remember the president of the brand that was acquired, and he still vomited bitterness in the interview. β
Doesn't it have anything to do with the previous case, just a grudge in the business field?
"Brother Ikekawa!" Having the same question as Toru Amuro, Conan Edogawa looked up and asked, "What happened to that brand after that?" β
Why would an organization want to target a dog food brand?
Feeling that everyone's eyes fell on her, Ikekawa Na hesitated for a moment and said, "Uh, it's changed to cat food." β
All:...... Yes?
Seeing the other people's somewhat confused expressions, Amuro Toru breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Let's just say it! He must be the only one who feels outrageous! Why should you, a chaebol president, have trouble with dog food?!
"Any questions?" Ikekawa Na coughed, "Since it's all acquired, it's not a big deal to switch to cat food." β
It's not a big deal, but the former president must be angry! If you think that this brand did not do well before, you can improve the formula, how can you directly change to cat food.
If this one is a little bigger, it's the fight between the cat pie and the dog pie!
Officer Twilight shook his head in his heart, ostensibly maintaining the professionalism of a policeman: "Anyway, Mr. Ikekawa will act with us next, that gangster doesn't know when he will come back and do it again." β
"Hmm. But I think he doesn't want to kill me. After a pause, Ikekawa continued, "At the first shot, he could have killed me outright. β
Mori Kogoro retorted, "I think it's just that guy was too nervous to aim, and he doesn't look like he's good marksmanship." β
"I don't think so." "He shoots very skillfully, and he can continue to shoot even when he is running, and he has already thrown us off from behind, but he comes out again and shoots to attract attention." β
"You mean, he's bringing us here? But is there anything else in the cabin? Did he want us to find out the gasoline in the cabin...... That doesn't make sense. β
"Just look inside." Akakawa spoke, interrupting everyone's musings.
At that time, he turned into a fox, and when he heard the boss say that he was assigned to carry out this mission, he suspected that he had another plan, and now the target is posing as if he was going to lure him to the lower cabin.
Since the other party wants to take him somewhere, then it's good to go.
It's a waste of time to wait outside anyway.
"But if he really wants to lure you, or us, here, I'm afraid it's a trap."
"Brother Maori." Officer Twilight frowned, but agreed to the offer, "We don't have any clues other than this trap. Captain, please stay here and respond to the support, and don't tell the passengers about this for the time being, so as not to cause widespread panic. β
"And the crew, first clean up the oil on the ship, although the area is large, but it can be a little less."
After telling him all this, he lifted the brim of his hat, "Let's go back inside." β
Conan Edogawa hurriedly followed, and even his steps fell a little lighter, for fear that they would realize that there was a child in the team and drive him back.
Only the cacophony of crew members hurrying through the other end of the corridor where they had left, and the old silence on the other side, which did not know where it led.
ββ¦β¦ It's strange how there has been a sound since just now. Halfway through, Mori Kogoro couldn't help but listen to his footsteps and looked around, "Jingle jingle bell." β
"This." Ikekawa paused, "It's my anklet with a bell on it." β
"Anklets with bells? It's rare to wear something like this......"
"After all, it's a coming-of-age gift from the elders, so it's better not to take it down casually." The smile on his face remained unchanged, but his eyes looked a little cold, "We can't hide our footsteps here, let alone the sound of bells." β
The corridor is long and narrow, and no matter how careful you are, there will still be a sound when your feet land, and the subtle sounds will be elongated and amplified by the passage, so there is no way to hide your footsteps.
The topic was hurriedly skimmed, and Amuro walked behind the side, and glanced at Ikekawa Na when he heard the words.
The coming-of-age gift given by that boss is probably not a simple thing.
Seeing that there was nothing else on the road, Ikekawa Nai simply accosted the police officer next to him, "Officer Twilight, you just said that the person who attacked me could be the murderer of a case?" β
Suddenly asked this question, the man paused, and then bowed his head in affirmation.
"If there is no other personal grudge with Mr. Ikekawa, it may be because of this case."
It's that case.
He reached out to his forehead, and a sharp pain came from his temples as he recalled the memory.
The sequelae of brainwashing are still on the β‘β‘, and although the memory has been restored, sometimes it is still necessary to think about it before you can remember it, especially this one, which is already a memory from a long time ago.
"Case?" Chikawa Nai's eyes darkened slightly, and her voice was as usual, "If it's convenient, I want to know about this case?" After all, it's my life. β
All his information about this case came from reports published in the news and dense related materials, but he did not hear the details from the mouths of the parties.
Conan Edogawa also looked up at Officer Twilight, and before the latter could speak, he felt the phone in his pocket vibrate.
It's Dr. Agasa's call.
How is it at this time!
The boy hurriedly answered the phone, hid behind the shelter in the passage, and said in a low voice, "Doctor, I'm tracking the prisoner right now, you can just email me the results of the investigation." β
After speaking, he took the phone and kept up with the pace of the people in front of him again.
There was only the slight jingle of ankle bells in the hallway, and after a mouse click on the earphone, Dr. Asa said, "Tracking the prisoner, what happened on the ship?" It's okay to send an email, but Shinichi, do you still have keywords in that case, there were a lot of cases from 21 years ago......
I'll see, bank robbery cases...... Apartment Building Murder ...... The director of the art gallery was killed...... Pharmaceutical factory explosion ......"
"At that time, I had just entered the search class, and I couldn't remember a lot of things." Officer Twilight's voice and Dr. Asasa were stacked on top of each other and came from the front, "On the night of December 26th, a first-class explosion occurred at a pharmaceutical processing plant on the outskirts of Rice Flower City. β
Pharmaceutical processing plant.
"Wait, Doctor." Edogawa Conan lowered his voice, "It's the one that exploded in the pharmaceutical factory." β
"Do you want to see this? Okay, then I'll sort out the relevant information about this and send it to you right away. β
Temporarily hanging up the call with Dr. Asasa, the boy followed in the footsteps of the others, frowning as Officer Twilight listened.
ββ¦β¦ After investigation, it was confirmed that the source of the explosion was the drug laboratory on the first floor of the factory. The explosion destroyed the foundations of the factory and caused the building to collapse, and Toru Shiraishihara, a researcher at the pharmaceutical company at the time of the explosion, was in the laboratory, and the last person in charge of the search and rescue efforts found only the remains of some remains. β
"It was the middle of the night when the explosion happened, why was he still in the lab?" Okiya said in a low voice, "Factories in the suburbs usually block entrances and exits during off-hours. β
This was also the question raised by the team leader at the time, after all, it was related to whether the explosion was an accident or someone deliberately did it. After that, we investigated all the way and locked up a suspect. β
Speaking of the word 'suspect', Officer Twilight recalled the side face of the man who had just shot the man with a gun, but the other party fled too quickly, and the case had passed for too long, so it really didn't match.
"That person is Tian Juying, a colleague of the deceased, and according to others, the two have a good relationship, but only he has time to commit the crime before and after the time of the crime. However, someone soon came forward to give him an alibi, and a few days later, we received another report letter. β
Ikekawa Nai stopped: "Report letter? β
"Yes, the report letter revealed that Toru Shiraishihara was stealing pharmaceutical materials from the pharmaceutical factory, secretly developing and trading illegal drugs, and also participated in the Du product trade, and then we went to investigate the places mentioned in the report letter, and we did find evidence that he did these things."
"He's secretly reselling drugs...... "Kogoro Mori touched his chin, "so it's not surprising that he would show up in the factory lab in the middle of the night." β
"That's right, the case ended with 'the deceased's mistake in developing illegal drugs caused the explosion'."
"If that's the case, why would Officer Twilight think that there was another murderer in that case and that it was related to me?"
Amuro subconsciously followed the voice, and the person who spoke was standing next to him, and the dim light in the corridor illuminated his eyebrows, and he couldn't see any emotion.
"Because the deceased's wife has been missing. In fact, Toru Shiraishihara's main job is program design, but it was only later that he was introduced by his wife, who was already an experimenter, to work in the pharmaceutical factory as a drug researcher. After the bombing, he died, but his wife has not been heard from since. β
At that time, the media thought that the two of them were engaged in illegal drug reselling activities together, and after seeing that her husband's improper operation caused the explosion, she fled Japan in a hurry for fear of being discovered.
Of course, it is also possible that both of them were in the laboratory at the time, but she was very close to the source of the explosion, so no remains were left. β
"Is that so......?"
"Officer Twilight, didn't you say what that suspect had to do with him?" Mori Kogoro muttered beside him.
"Mr. Joaki, who was the head of the first search section at the time, had met the deceased several times before his death, and he always felt that it was impossible for the other party to do such a thing, but the evidence had already been put in front of him, and as a police officer, he could only act on the evidence, as for Mr. Ikekawa......
It's just because he looks alike with Nanami Shiraishi, the wife of the deceased. At first I was skeptical...... However, the deceased and his wife did not have any children at the time, and according to Mr. Ikekawa's age, they should have been born at that time. β
"If that case is really not an accident, the murderer is carrying a human life, and he will be afraid of people who look alike."
Looks alike.
"That's right, if that's the case, Mr. Ikekawa is really a disaster." Maori Kogoro patted his head and remembered something, "I remembered after you finished speaking, Team Leader Jo Ming also showed me a report on this incident before he retired, and both of them have green eyes, even if they have children, they can't be heterochromic pupils." β
The man with heterochromatic pupils blinked his eyes and looked at the person next to him, his expression was as usual, "What's the matter, you've been looking at me since just now." β
"No, nothing." Okiya paused, looking away.
The policeman and the detective in front of them continued to walk forward without knowing anything, and the three people in the back and a little boy had different expressions.
When the topic was over and the group continued to walk forward in silence, Conan Edogawa's phone vibrated again.
He simply ran into the next cabin with an open door and answered the phone.
"Shinichi, I've sent you all the information you want. By the way, the case was closed on the 30th, when the Symphony that was bound for Ogasawara was attacked by a criminal gang and the hull was badly damaged, and it was bought by a collector named Koo after returning to the sea.
Since then, the boat has been moored in a private dock until a few months ago, and it is the one you are riding in now. β
"Symphony horn?"
The timing was also too coincidental.
The phone beeped twice, apparently because the old newspaper photo Dr. Asa had just mentioned had been sent by email.
Conan Edogawa frowned, and looked at the photo of the ruins of the explosion factory, the dead man had blurred so much that he couldn't see the unrelated photo, and the last photo of the collector standing in front of the symphony.
The man in the end looked to be in his thirties, with a mixed-race face and black hair, but his eyes were supposed to be other colors, which unfortunately were not distinguishable in the black-and-white photographs.
Maybe the other person has a pair of foggy blue eyes.
If it's someone related to the organization, Gray Plains may have seen each other's photos.
Thinking like this, Edogawa Conan asked, "What about Ashbara?" Will she know the person in the photo. β
"Little mourning? She was in the living room before, and she didn't know what was going on, so she hurried out. β
"Ran out?" Conan Edogawa frowned, and was about to hang up the phone, when his expression changed after hearing the noisy background sound on the other side, and suddenly remembered something, "Wait, doctor! What's the voice on your side? β
"It's news, Xiao Wai was watching the news in the living room just now." Dr. Asasa got out of his chair and walked to the TV, "Bombs have been planted in the dormitory building of Rice Flower University, and it is said that there are quite a few of them, and now all the police forces of the Metropolitan Police Department are concentrated on dealing with the matter over there. β
Rice Flower University's apartment building.
'I can't keep some clothes or stuff like that. Sister...... When she was in college, she stored these things left by her parents in different places. β
Now, it should be stored in the university's student apartment. β
Recalling the conversation with Gray Yuan before leaving, the boy's pupils constricted.
Oops!
"Go after her! Her parents' relics are in that dormitory building, and Gray Yuan must have gone to get them! β
"What?!"
===
"Little friend? What is the matter with you...... Wait a minute! It's dangerous inside! You can't go in, kids! β
With the child's body through the cordon, ignoring the shouts behind him, Gray Yuan Wai hurriedly ran towards the dormitory building.
The door was wide open, and she rushed in a few steps, and then ran to the rearmost storage room, following the clues her sister had left behind, as she had thought countless times in her head.
In order to make it easier for the police to check for the bomb, the doors of all rooms were opened,
Mentally reciting another pseudonym that Akemi Miyano had used to store it, she quickly found a large package located inside and dragged it out.
The bag was too big for the child's body, and she pulled it hard several times to make it poke out halfway, and before she could exert any more force, the footsteps of the adult came from far and near.
"Hey, this isn't the place to play." A voice came from behind, and the man in sunglasses easily lifted the girl who slipped into the dangerous area at such a time, "How did you sneak in from the cordon?" β
During the action, the package that was dragged out was not lifted, and it fell to the ground with gravity.
Among the many items wrapped in clothing, a vanity mirror slipped from it, and when it hit the ground, the loosely structured lenses separated from the frame, and a picture with yellowed edges floated out of the open space.
Matsuda Jinpei subconsciously looked down.
The blonde woman is shown in the photograph and another person of a similar age, the one on the right with black hair and green eyes, wearing metal-framed glasses and a white coat.
She looked like the kind of woman who only had work at heart: her hair was meticulously pulled up at the back, the chain of her glasses hung down, her face had only a cold look, and even her lips were a little thin.
The only ornament on a woman's body is the pendant she wears around her neck. The small green gem appears exactly the same color as her eyes in some blurry photographs.
There are seven or eight similar faces, which is enough for a man to pause and look at them.
"This is a relic of my parents!" Ash Yuan struggled to get down, hurriedly fitting the mirrors and stuffing them back into the pile of clothes, "I'm going to take them away." β
Matsuda Jinpei opened his mouth, reached out and picked up the big bag properly, and asked, "Is there anything else?" β
ββ¦β¦ Without. β
Confirming that the man's face had appeared on the news, it was indeed a disguise for the police and not the mission organizer, and Gray Yuan Wai was relieved from the tension just now.
She bowed her head and put on her hood and left the school with the man.
Unsure that the girl went back alone with the package, Matsuda Jinpei placed the person in the back seat of the police car, and after a few words, he hurriedly returned to the dormitory building and continued to check the bomb.
Gray Yuan lamented the heavy bag of luggage, and waited for the people around the car to disperse before carefully pulling down the hood.
She opened the huge package in her arms, and in addition to the mirror, there were many bits and pieces stuffed inside her clothes.
Each one was more or less sandwiched with photographs, of the mother and father, holding the elder sister, and it seemed that the time taken was before she was born.
Among the group photos of so many families, only the one that was seen by the officer wearing sunglasses just now was out of place.
Re-buckle the mirror, and Gray Yuan took out the group photo.
She had never seen the picture anywhere else. Or rather, there were very few photos of her mother with anyone other than her family.
The relics that looked like daily necessities hid old photographs one after another, and the girl looked at them one by one, tears sliding down her cheeks and falling on the surface of the photographs, and the hand on her clothes couldn't help but twist the fabric under her hand.
It's a bit thick......
Other people may not be able to tell the difference, but as an experimenter, she has always strictly controlled the measurement of medicines, and over time she has been extremely sensitive to the weight, thickness and other dimensions of the items [gΗn].
Gray Yuan was stunned, put everything else aside, and pulled out the clothes from it one by one.
It was no different from normal clothes, and she felt it inch by inch with a solemn expression, and finally touched the thin layer in the already thick places such as the pocket neckline.
Cut it with a small folding knife pinned to the keychain, and a thin cloth with words written on it slid out. It looked like it was just a part of a letter, and it took all the clothes to piece together a complete letter.
The letter her mother left her? It's still my sister's......
Determined, the girl looked down.
[Dear Elena :]
The first few words made Gray Yuan stunned.
This is a letter from someone else to my mother.
She read the letter in silence, and the hand that squeezed her clothes tightened and gave it away, and finally turned into a sigh.
The bomb-ridden university was surrounded by the media, and she just rushed in regardless of whether she would be caught on camera. The girl closed her eyes and finally made a decision.
I don't know how long it took, with the cooperation of many demolition team police, the bombs in the dormitory building were dismantled one by one, Matsuda Jinpei knocked on the glass of the police car, bowed his head and asked, "Where do you live, I'll find someone to send you back." β
"No, I'm not going home." Ash Hara took a deep breath, she stuffed the pieces of cloth spliced together in her hand into her pocket, and turned her head to look at the other party, "Rice Flower Town 1-chome 13 Banji, I'm going there." β
The familiar address made Matsuda Jinpei frown.
"I knew it was a temporary base for police and police, or the FBI. You are one of them. The girl looked up at the other woman, "You promised me asylum, and now I agree." β
She clenched the hot letter in her hand, and the faces of the children and Dr. Asa flashed in her mind, "Please take me there, after I and my family are safe." β
===
Ikekawa felt the sound of the sea water ringing in her ears.
The waves swelled, and the sound of hitting the boat, mixed with the chirping of seagulls, echoed in my ears again and again, and was shattered by the sudden sound of 'clang'.
"There's someone up ahead!" Officer Twilight shouted, clenching his β‘β‘ and chasing after him.
Several people followed closely behind, and by the time they reached the place where the sensor light had been awakened by the sound, no one was in sight.
"Damn, this guy is running too fast."
Without listening to Mori Kogoro's whispered complaints, Ikekawa turned her head to look at the uneven wall next to her, then reached out and pushed the 'wall' away.
"It's ......"
A gap opened in the wall of the hallway that was supposed to be closed, and Officer Twilight turned to the side with a gun in his left hand, revealing that it was actually a room hidden in the hallway.
The Symphony, which sailed twenty years ago, was originally a reconstruction of another old ship, and some unwanted rooms were sealed and turned into secret rooms for people to hide.
With the action of pushing the door, the smell of decay and dampness mixed with dust poured in.
"Officer Twilight, this smell is ......" Kogoro Maori, who has been dealing with murders for many years, made a pause and shouted at Ikekawa Na, who was pushing open the door, "Don't open it yet." β
The man turned a deaf ear.
He pushed the door open, and the dull and condensed air in the chamber poured out, with the smell of the tide.
The light in the corridor shone in, and through the dim light, several people saw a thick black shadow in the corner of the narrow room.
Conan Edogawa was stunned for a moment, temporarily put down the phone that had not yet hung up, and turned on the flashlight on his watch.
The belated light finally illuminates the room.
It was a white skeleton of ashes.
