Chapter 37 Bed

After saying this, Gao Yuan suddenly thought of something, and Kudo Shinichi also stopped his original plan to go in and take a look. By coincidence, the two came to the window of the room, opened the window, and went out through the window!

Come to the wall facing the bookshelf in the room. Looking from the outside, this is exactly the back of the house, and this wall has also been thickened, so it can accommodate such a passage leading to the ground.

"I see!"

"That's what happened!"

Gao Yuan and Kudo Shinichi said similar words at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled, but quickly fell into thinking.

Back in the room, Suzuki Sonoko had already walked out of the basement, so Takato and Kudo Shinichi walked into the passage.

The passage left after the bookshelf was removed was as big as a door, and inside was a wooden staircase. After walking down, the two saw that the basement was not very big, only about a dozen square meters in size, and less than two meters high. , an empty room with almost nothing in it - except a bed!

Very abruptly, there is actually a bed in this basement!

"How did you investigate this room?"

Gao Yuan asked Kudo Shinichi beside him.

"Obviously, because apart from the upstairs bedroom where you've got the bed installed, this is the only room that looks like it's been cleaned."

Kudo Shinichi said, Gao Yuan didn't look carefully at this point. After all, when he was planning to investigate this villa, Kudo Shinichi and the three of them happened to come over.

"It seems that there are no other clues, why don't you go up first."

Gao Yuan suggested.

"It looks like it is, let's go up and analyze the current clues first."

Kudo Shinichi agreed.

Back in the hall, continuing to sit in the original seat, Mao Lilan asked, "Do you know what's going on? Xinyi!"

"Yeah, why is there a secret basement in that place! I even fell down."

Suzuki Sonoko said in distress.

"I have roughly figured out why this villa has made strange noises for a year, and how outsiders entered and exited this villa."

Kudo Shinichi said.

"But what is the purpose of doing this, but I have no idea at all."

Gao Yuan agreed.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were unable to understand the conversation between the two.

"Then tell me, why does this villa make strange noises this year?"

Mao Lilan asked.

"Ah, this matter is actually very simple. I understood it when I heard the wise detective say 'the basement is not on the floor plan of this villa'."

Kudo Shinichi said, and then looked at Gao Yuan.

"Well. Since it does not exist on the floor plan, but actually exists, it is obvious that someone dug it out on purpose, so it is easy to understand why there have been strange noises coming from here in the past year-because this is the result of digging the basement. sound!"

Gao Yuan explained.

"If you want to understand this, it's very easy to understand how outsiders entered this villa."

Kudo Shinichi spoke slowly, showing a puzzled expression, "But in this case, the whole thing becomes difficult to understand."

"Yeah, secretly digging out a basement for someone else's house is really hard for people to understand."

Suzuki Sonoko echoed, "But what does that have to do with why outsiders can come in?"

"After all, Mr. Wise's key can open the door normally, so the door lock has not been changed, so how did they come in?"

Mao Lilan also expressed the same confusion.

"Idiot! We all know that outsiders have dug a basement for this villa, so why do you need to think about how to get in?"

Kudo Shinichi explained speechlessly, "Of course they smashed the wall in directly!"

This conclusion surprised the two girls present.

"Smash... hit the wall!"

"That's right, look at the location of the entrance to the basement, which is inside the outer wall of the house. The only way to build such an entrance after the villa is built is to smash the wall first! Since the wall is smashed, outsiders can It’s nothing strange to come in! As long as the follow-up basement is built, the wall will be patched up!”

Gao Yuan said.

"Besides, that wall is located right behind the villa, surrounded by a wall, and outsiders can't see the construction there. The weird noise before the combination was made at night, that is, the people who dug the basement were at night. Start construction, so that no one will find out."

Kudo Shinichi added.

"But what is the purpose of breaking down the walls of other people's villas in such a sneaky way, digging out a basement, and then patching up the walls?"

Merlin asked suspiciously.

"That's right, this is something we can't figure out at the moment. It took nearly a year to dig out a basement in an uninhabited villa with such a mobilizing force. What's the point?"

Kudo Shinichi was lost in thought.

"The only clue seems to be the bed in the basement."

Gao Yuan explained.

"Is there a bed? What's the use of this? It must be for the people who dug the basement to sleep."

Suzuki Sonoko said.

"But don't you think it's strange? If you want to sleep, why put the bed in the basement? Anyway, the whole villa can be entered and exited at will, so it would be better to put the bed in the villa."

"What's more, this bed was obviously put in after the basement had already been dug."

Kudo Shinichi said, and then Gao Yuan added that after hearing what they said, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed about his previous remarks.

"Huh? It's really strange to say that."

"But obviously the bed wasn't there for nothing."

Kudo Shinichi said, and then shook his head vigorously, "No, I have to say, from digging the basement to putting the bed, the whole thing can't be for no reason, just like..."

"In order to meet any need, you have to do something."

Kudo Shinichi seemed to be short of words for a while, but Gao Yuan added this sentence.

"Yes! That's how it feels!"

Shinichi Kudo agreed.

"But it doesn't seem to be any different from not saying anything."

Mao Lilan said with a helpless smile, "After all, no one will be bored enough to do such a meaningless thing."

"In other words, doing this thing itself should be of great significance, so important that it will take nearly a year and a lot of wealth to do it."

Kudo Shinichi changed his mind and said because of Mao Lilan's words, while Gao Yuan on the side was still thinking, and then seemed to think of something, and spoke.

"Don't mention the basement, let's look at the bed first. Who do you think this bed is for?"

"Hey?"

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko expressed confusion, but Kudo Shinichi seemed to be awakened.

"That's right, let's not mention what the basement is used for, but if it's just this bed, it's obvious who it's for!"
