"Since you are invited to find the treasure, you have already heard about it from the castle owner, so I won't repeat it."

Huiyuan's melancholy is very good. She has only been here for one afternoon, and she has already become familiar with the complicated roads in the castle, as if she was visiting her own home.

While identifying the path, she controlled the volume and whispered, "If you come when the sky is brighter, you should be able to see a charred tower on the left hand side after entering the door."

"Oh.", it's okay, I can see it even when it's dark.

"That's the dormitory of Mrs. Jiangong who has passed away. According to the gardener here, she usually lives abroad. But four years ago, in order to celebrate the old lady's birthday, she returned to China and temporarily lived in that tower—at midnight Arrived and caught fire at dawn."

Speaking of this, Hui Yuanai sighed softly:

"Not only her, but even her friends and servants who came with her were buried in the fire pit. The death toll was as high as fifteen, and all of them were burned beyond human form."

"It's too miserable." He asked why the gardener of this family wasn't fired. Is it really okay to spread such negative news about the owner?

"This is just the beginning—two years after the tragedy, a new servant disappeared without warning.

"During the police investigation, a maid who was close to him revealed that the missing person had said 'there are good things in that tower' the night before his disappearance.

"So they sent people to search the tower, but found nothing. It wasn't until four days later that someone found a skinny body with an empty stomach in the nearby forest - the missing servant .”

"Ah...", I almost forgot, there is another one in the woods, I really don't want to go out in the rain, so let this job be left to the door panel.

Just as she was thinking, Hui Yuanai suddenly stopped in front of her.Bai Shu was startled, and then stopped.

Looking up, the room in front of him is the room he just came to - the place where Mamiyaman wanted to take him to overlook the chess pieces.

Bai Shu walked into the room and knocked on the wall twice casually, "Did you disappear in this room?"

"Yes. Originally, I, Yoshida, and Edogawa were in the next room, and Kojima and Tsuburaya were here. When they were fighting, they almost fell from the window, and Conan ran over in a hurry and said something to them. words."

Hui Yuanai said as she walked to the wall, with her hands behind her back, she tapped somewhere on the ground with her toes:

"Not long after that, Yoshida and I also came over. When we arrived, Conan had disappeared. The two boys were busy playing around, and didn't pay attention to where he went, and the wall - this is here, upside down A chair with a few thick books scattered beside it."

After finishing speaking, she looked up at Bai Shu, "How about it, do you have any ideas?"

Bai Shu walked to the place where she was standing, and took two steps back, pretending to think about the wall for two seconds.

This wall is covered with dark checkered wallpaper, and the left and right sides are decorated with inlaid bookshelves and other things. In the middle is an old-fashioned clock. The time on the watch actually points to [-]:[-], which is very inconsistent with the actual time.

After going through the process of thinking, Bai Shu stepped forward under Hui Yuanai's gaze, opened the glass case of the clock cover, and turned the hour and hands.

The two rotated round and round, and when they finally coincided to point at 12 o'clock, a series of tiny clicks came.

The hidden mechanism was touched, and a revolving door suddenly appeared on the originally flat wall.

Hui Yuanai stood close and was almost swept away by it, she was not too surprised, she backed away a little, while Bai Shu raised his hand to make the door stop when it turned halfway.

Seeing this, Hui Yuanai walked back again, and looked into the thick darkness behind the door:
"It's about the same as I thought... When I came here in the afternoon, I always felt that the thickness of the wall between these two rooms was not right."

"Conan must have discovered the problem when he ran over, and turned the watch casually, and was shot in by the door without paying attention."

Bai Shu knocked on the door. The door seemed to be made of solid wood, and it made a slightly crisper sound than the wall:

"The sound insulation effect is not very good. If he yelled and knocked on the door at that time, it would have attracted the attention of outsiders.

"Yes." Hui Yuanai rolled his eyes that were not obvious, "The reason why he didn't do that...maybe he was attracted by something in the door, and after investigating deeply, he encountered a difficult situation inside. .”

Bai Shu fully agrees with this point of view. As the protagonist in the detective world, Conan not only has a top-notch brain, but also has a deadly ability that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Different from the old but well-maintained outside world, as soon as this door is opened, there is a smell of dirt and dust rushing towards you.

The secret path was obviously not cleaned. Bai Shu glanced around and saw patches of moss and mold in the corner. The road here is not spacious, it is a step that is more than one meter wide and extends downward.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at his companions, "How about it, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"Yeah." Huiyuan Ai responded and walked into the door at the same time. At the same time, she also picked up a book and put it by the door, preparing to block the door, leaving a way for the two to leave.

"No need." Bai Shu put the book back again.

He walked into the secret passage and pointed to the top of the revolving door, "There is a handle here, and you can open it from here when you come back. If you put the book outside, it will be easily exposed."

Hui Yuan Aiyan walked up to him, tiptoed to look up, and with the light coming in from outside, he could indeed see a small bump.

She nodded in agreement without any objection, and fiddled with her wrist twice, and soon, a beam of light started from her watch, illuminating a small area around it.

——This kind of multifunctional watch is of course also the creation of the doctor. After Bai Shu closed the door, Hui Yuanai adjusted the watch to illuminate the two people's feet, and they went down the steps to the bottom one after the other.

Below is a relatively open space, Hui Yuan Ai raised his hand, and took a rough photo of the surroundings.

The light of the flashlight is not too strong, and you can only vaguely see the forks and steps in all directions. This place is complicated like an underground lair of some kind of creature, and there is no figure of Conan or the doctor in the field of vision.

She withdrew her gaze and light, trying to find clues from the beginning.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Bai Shu standing a few meters away, looking down at the floor under his feet, as if he had discovered something.

"What's the matter?" Hui Yuanai shook the flashlight and shone on the soles of his feet.

Originally, because of that, there would be something very conspicuous, enough to attract people's attention in the dark.But different from what she imagined, after the light beam shot past, it only illuminated the empty corner of the wall.

There is nothing there.

Under her questioning gaze, Bai Shu squatted down and pointed to the ground, "Get closer, what can you see from standing so far away?"

"Are all detectives so secretive? Just tell me no."

He said so, but Hui Yuan Ai still walked over and squatted beside him.
